What We Can Grow.

The products of Southern California
comprise about everything in use in the
way of fruits, vegetables and grains that
can be grown anywhere in the world.
The exhibits that are now being made
up in this part of the country for the
worlds fair show what an extraordi-
narily large variety OF products we have.
Hardly another region of the same pro-
portions in the whole world can make a
similar showing. Among our fruits are
oranges, lemons, lines, olives, figs,
pomegranates, nectarines, guavas, the
raisin and wine grapes, and all kinds of
semi-tropic nuts, which flourish side by
side with peaches, pears, plums and
prunes and some varieties OF apples
while among grains, barley, rye, corn
and wheat are standard crops; and
OF the grasses, alfalfa is very productive,
five or six crops of which can be cut in
the course of the year if thoroughly ir-
rigated, and on "moiet lands" the same
can be done without irrigation; and
alfilleria, which is a sort of wild clover. as
we'll as the burr clover, grows wild over
both hill and vale, afording excellent
forage for stock.
All localities are not equally well
suited to all of these productions, but
Southern California produces all of them
in abundance within some portions of
her borders, and sustsins, as we'll, i'm
mense live stock interests, both in cat
tie, sheep and hogs, the best blooded
stock being largely represented. The
honey crop is also an important one,
and 60 are the lima bean and pampas
plume yields. The grains are grown
without irrigation, the winter rains be-
ing sufficient to perfect the crops. which
are aown in winter and harvested in
spring or early summer. A second crop
can be easily grown the same year on ir.

advances during the progress of the
play from bootblack to a millionaire.
There is no doubt that he is the fun
niest little fellow ever seen on the stage.
and his mere appearance is the signal
for unceasing applause. Adolph links
burleeque of Lottie Collins Tara ra
boom-de-ay is one of the hits of Candy.
The scenery is very brilliant, represent
ing, among others, a candy grove, chip
scene, a desert island and bower OF
roses. The costumes, of which more
than 800 are used in this production, are
extremely rich and show real artistic
taste in the blending of colors. One of
the many features of Candy is the ballet,
composed of large number of young
and handsome women, who have earned
the reputation of being the best looking
and the best trained corps of dancers in
the United States. The Candy ballet,
the electrical dance, with its surprising
electrical effects, produced by thousand
incandescent lamps, the sailors festival
and the surprising rose ballet afford
them ample opportunity to demonstrate
their grace and skill. Not less en-
joyable will be the comic opera, The
Dwarf's Wedding, the second play which
the Lilliputians will produce. Its action
takes place partly in the gold mines of
Siberia and partly at the court of Peter
the Great at st. Petersburg. One of its
principal scenes is duo danced by the
two midgets, Franz Ebert and Adolph
link, in which Franz Ebert appears as
female ballet dancer. The Lilliputians,
who are supported by largo organiza-
ton of grewn-up actors and singers,
have the important parts in both plays,
and there il no dull moment from the
first rise Of the curtain to its final fall.
There will be mxtinees on Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons.

Mr.. John Dillon gave very enjoyable
comedy last week at the Los Angeles
theater, in Model Husband. He is in
his way as finished comedian in
methods as there is on the stage, and
Manager Skunk will do we'll with him.
A great many people would like to see
Mr.. Dillon in something better than he
has vet appeared in. The writer thinks
that he would do we'll to essay some of
the old English comedies. He could not
be:bad as DIR. Peter Panglass, or several
other standard roles. A Model Hns-
band is funny play, but is somewhat
thin, and crude, as compared with the
classic plays in which Mr.. Dillon seems
to be ripe enough in experience, and able

Richard & Pringle's minstrels, in
their none too brief engagement at the
opera house early in the week, painfully
illustrated fact that has been recog-
nized for some time by old-time theater
goers, and that is that minstrelry is in a
moribund condition. 1t hae become
no good in it any more.
Attempts have been made, notably by
Haverly, to evolve something new out
it, but unavailingly. The negro has
ceased to be a national question; his
music is quaint, but devoid of soul; his
humor has been exhausted, and as a
factor in arlusements he is OF no avail in
anything more elevated than the variety
stage.
In the heyday of minstrelsy nothing
was more enjoyable than the efforts OF
Dan Bryant, Hooley, Kelly and Leon
end the other leaders in this line, and
thousands of old theater goers feel
grateful to them; but nothing now is
more dispiriting than an attempt TO re-
animate the old methods.

education.
The two qualities here mentioned,
cheapness and excellence, have not
been secured by state publication.
The test in California has shown that
an inferior quality of books has
been provided without reduction OF
cost. The price lists which we have
before us show that the inferior state
publications of California are even
higher than the better books fur
nished by the general trade.
But we cannot in single article
60 into these details of price, nor in
deed can we hope to cover even the
more important questions that will
arse in the discussion of the subject.
These may be considered more spe-
clally hereafter.
If the state is not to publish the
textbooks, how shall they be pro-
vided? Our plan Is by state contract
with existing publishing houses.
But, says the objector, we must
down the school book trust Now let
us not get over-excited about the trust.
We have before us a report of the
Missouri school book board which
has the following list of school book
publishers with whom that state has
contracts for the different textbooks
now in use: The American Book
Co., E. Fl. Butler & Co., D. @. Heath
& Co., Leach, Shewell Il Sanborn,
Geo. Sherwood & Go. and Tslnter
Bros. & Go. These houses are all
very lively competitors in the school
book trade, and there are other
houses as we'll; so that it would seem
that this cry of a school book trust
has not really half the terrors that
are ascribed to it. There must be
more of a monopoly of the business
before competition is cut off. We
need not fear any school book trust,
therefore, until these competing
houses are absorbed. Under the con-
tract system the school book board
would have abundant latitude to pur-
chase books that have been tried and
found satisfactory from whatever
house would furnish them cheapest.
This Is the plan of the state of Mis-
souri,, and it has been found by ex-
perience eminently successful and
satisfactory. 1t has resulted in an
average saving in cost to the people
of 80 per cent. below the cost under
other systems of purchase.
Now our plan summarized in brief
is this:
Let there be a state school book
board established consisting of the
state superintendent of public in
struction with such associates as the
Legislature may provide. Let this
board enter into contract with exist
ing school book publishers for such
books as the state may REQUIRE, such
