TIE following from the Redlands Cit rograph is to be commended to the peru sal of those who, to save a cent yard on cloth, or q half-dollar thousand on printing, send abroad for half of their necessities and luxuries: "We are in receipt of a communication from an Eastern dry goods and fancy notion es- tabishment, asking us to furnish them with list of twenty names of leading Redlands ladies, and offering to pay us for our trouble. The request has been promptly attended to. Yesterday it was swept out by the office boy with the other contents of our waste paper bas- ket. We don't propose to be party to any such scheme. In the first place we don't consider that we have any decent right to hawk the names of respectable ladies about the country in any such reprehensible manner. In the second place we believe in patronizing home industries, in helping to swell the bank accounts of the local concerns which ad- vertise with us. We believe that the secret of our prosperity lies in aiding our own business ventures, and propose to teach every other resident the same lesson of protection before we get through. If the business houses would do as much for the newspapers which, in like manner espouse their cause, wherever printed, even newspaper mans life might be financially worth | the living"

RELATIVE to California wine, Charles A. Wetmore, chief viticultural officer of California, says: Every year the east ern people are comingto to be better judges of wine, and, consequently, they are using more good California clarets and sauternes. Wine-making has been re- volutioaized here in ten years. All the big vineyardists are making experi- ments in blends to get rid of the harsh, crude taste that comes of too lusty soil, and not from an excess of alcohol, as many suppose. The fact is the foreign wines have larger percentage of alcohol than California wines, as it is put in artifcially, just as the sugar is artificial to make up for deficiency of natural saccharine matter in the grape. When you taste California wine that is harsh on the tongue you may know that it hasn't been properly treated with blends that would have softened it, not that it is overloaded with spirit. All the best California wines are much lower in spirit than the best French or German wines."

WHEN the members of the Phoenix Cham Der of Comerce omit to attend the session of that body and to participate in it's various plans for aiding and de- veloping the county, how can the out side public be expected to be enthusias- tic in the cause of progress? To keep this valley upon the upward road con. tinued effort is necessary and now is the time when it should especially be ex- erted. An awakening is necessary among the easv-going citizens of the valley. The main agent of development, the Chamber of Commerce, is pOwerless at present to act and should be en- couraged in every possible manner. No merchant of the city or farmer of the valley should omit registering his name upon the books of the organization and to take an active part in its work.

IT is really deplorable to note how much venom is exhibited by the Los Angeles Times in referring to this Terri tory. Really an Arizona rattlesnake can not compare with the editor of the Jos Angeles sheet in even its worst charac- teristic attributes. It is to be hoped that the spirit shown by the Times in its attempts to deiame and injure the Terri tory is not shared by the merchants of the Angelic City, who now draw such a vast trade from this source. Truly, the Tunes should remember that were the Arizona trade cut off from its city, its clientele of advertisers would grow ex- ceeding less.
