Utterances Of Vigorous and Fearless
Newspapers
Of the Interior of California on Many
Subjects of Public
Interest,

Rridpeport Chronicle Unlon: "The
Fresno Republican says: San Jose is as
suave and genial as a candidate for office.
She smiles on rybody and everything,
but alas for the pride and SelhshneSs OF
human nature, if she succeeds IN getting
what she wants the old lines Will be
drawn again and caste and coin Will
make the social law as of yore. Member
ship in the Legislature will no longer be
the passport to the function and to the
homes of wealth and aristocracy IN the
Garden City unless accompanied by evil
dence of bank account or pedigree that
disproves questionable lineage. When
they get the Capital they Will harshly in
sist, as they have in the past, on knowing
that their guests will not carry away the
spoons If San Jose should become the
CAPITAL of the State, the members OF the
Legislature would be worse OIL than they
were in Sacramento, socially, as San Jose
aristocracy would not even ask ehem TO
take "a drink The member who had
never been invited to private house IN
Sacramento would find himself decidedly
mot in it in San Jose. Then for another
amendment for removal to Mllpitas,
where the people are not so 'upplsh.'
San Jose Mercury: 1.-The conference OF
the Supervisors, the Councllmen ana the
Citizens Committee on Monday resulted,
as was expected, in decision to call
convention of representative citizens to
meet in this city on the 10Th to consider
the proposed removal OF the State Caplta1
to San lose. This convention IS to con-
sist of $50 persons selected by the Super
yisors and 15O selected by the Common
Council, making 800 in all. The number
Is large enough to make convention
fully representative of every section OF
the county and every class of the people,
and there is no doubt that it Will have
this thoroughly representative character.
The work to be done by the convention
will have to be outlined by the conven-
ton itself. 1t will be the representative
of the people, and will have to initiate the
work and prepare the organization by
which it is to be carried out. In the very
nature OF things, therefore, the convention
will be most important one"
Truckee Republican ''The water
power of the Truckee River is practically
limitless. Two thousand feet fall can be
obtained in twenty miles. A hundred
mammoth storage reservoirs can be con-
structed in the eighty miles of semi
circular SUBMITS in which the head
waters of the river are located. These
reservoirs are sometimes natural lakes
which can be vastly enlarged, sometimes
they are land-locked valleys whose out
let is narrow gorge that can easily be
damned. There is power enough between
Tahoe and Pyramid Lake to turn the
wheels of the Pacific Coast. Electrical
transmission of power makes the utiliza-
ton of this incalculable force practical in
the mines of the Comstock aud the manu-
factories of san Francisco"
San Bernardino Courier: 'sOrange-
packers have yet got considerable to learn
in placing their fruit on the market in
presentable shape. 1t has been thought
sufficient to pack all oranges in the regu-
lation box, numbered according to size,
and send the boxes into the market
Some have gone so far as to use many
colored wrappers on fruit, their name on
the wrapper in glowing colors that is
neither artistic nor attractive. When the
box is opened by the retailer and Gus
toner wants one or more oranges, he,
she or it, is not satisfied to take them as
| they come, but must handle over at best
half dozen for every one purchased,
picking up and throwing back till the
