The house of the Nebraska legislature
still refuses to recognize MIR. Boyd as gov:
ernor; but as the bill, recently passed,
making an appropriation for legislative
expenses cannot become law without
his signature, and as the members cannot
draw their salary unless it becomes law,
the chances are fair that it soon will recog
nize him. Necessity will compel it to
abandon its position.

School Savings Banks in England.

There has been large increase of the
number of scholars in the schools of
England since Sept. l, when the free ed
ucation act went into force. The man
ayers of schools advised the parents Of
the scholars to put into savings banks
for the benefit of their children the three
pence per week that had previously been
paid for the education of each child, and
school savings banks were established to
receive these deposits This advice was
followed by large numbers of parents in
various parts of England, and the banks
have already been of service. In the city
of Manchester, for example, more than
5000 new accounts have been opened in
them the first month. The small funds
thus deposited will be useful to the chill

S. X. Sewall, orange sharp-The
banana trade is what is affecting the
orange business most, but it is also in q
way beneficial. There are ninety ves-
sells purposely built for carrying bana-
mas to Atlantic ports from the West
Indies and Central America. They
bring in over l3, ,0O0, 900 punches or 1906
carloads in the height of the orange sea-
son, which is February. The Florida
growers have taken advantage of these
vessels to ship their oranges to England.
They can compete with Mediterranean
growers there, 80 the eastern market is
somewhat relieved that way. Still, the
banana trade is serious matter for or
ange growers.
John +. Humphreys, real estate and
capitalists-The railroads should be pre-
vailed upon to make a special round
trip rate for tourists from the east this
winter. Ii the rates were made reason
ably low, and the usual time extended
q little beyond the limit, this coun-
try would be filled with such flood Of
eastern visitors as it never saw
before, or will see again for
three years. You see next fall
is the presidential election, and the
following year the worlds fair, and peo-
pie will not travel much in this direc-
ton. So every effort should be made to
have the crowd come this year. The
farmers.at the east have had good crops
and have marketed them at good prices.
They were perhaps never before better
circumstanced to take long journey.
1t is my opinion that il the inducements
were offered, thousands of them could
be persuaded to visit Southern Califor-
MIA this winter, and very large pro-
portion of them would become investors
and return TO the east only to bring their
families and friends. Thus the railroads
would ultimately make up q hum
dred fold in increased travel,
whatever sacrifice they would DOW
make in the concession OF rates.
would like to see the railroad commit
tee of the chamber of commerce take
this matter up.
Coroner Weldon, late of San Pedro
San Pedro is the liveliest seaport on the
southern coast. There are more ves-
sells unloading there every day and more
men have regular employment than at
all the other harbors combined. Yes,
sir, San Pedro may be wild and woolly,
but she keeps in the swim.

house-No, / don't think that this town
