1t isn't the skeletons in the closets that
are bothering the New York society peo-
pie, but the skeleton in the decollete
dresses.-LoS Angeles Express.
Says the Riverside Press: ga great
mining camp is expected to be developed
In the northern part OF our old county
The Needles Eye gives a detailed state
ment of the claims made there"
The name of Fish Camp. a summer re-
sort in Mariposa County. has been
changed to ''Summerdale." ''You NAV
break, you may shatter the camp if you
will, but the scent of the fish will hang
round it still."-Lodi Budget.
State division is a live issue. and the
problem will continue to obtrude itself
upon the public until one or more new
States are carved from the now over large
territory that comprises the State of CAL
lfornia.-Los Angeles Citizen.
The salacious aspect of the modern
American newspaper is certainly not en-
couraglng to the noralist of the pre-
ciscian order. And vet, perbaps the
| most entirely discouraging feature of the
/ business is that the journal which aims
to be decorous is commended, but is not
bought in anything like the degree in
which perhaps its really duller but more
audacious contemporary is liable to he
Los Angeles Herald.
The Native Sons of the Golden West
or the Golden Sons of the Native West ;;
as Senator Ben Langford calls them have
been having big time in Sacramento
this week incident to the meeting of their
Grand Parlor. Their verdict is that Sac
ramento is abundantly hospitable and
the sacramento girls are entertaining and
pretty, and that the Capital should re-
main right where it is.-Placer Herald.
The method of passing or "burkino~
bills is likely to be known in other States
as the California method. and to give the
State more notoriety for evil than it de-
serves. AS some newspapers have sought
to make Governor Markham responsible
for signing the bill that did not pass he
should make special effort to learn who
was guilty of the forgery. He should
also make an effort to learn who sl1n-
pressed the bill that passed and, if thew
are discovered, to have them properly
unished.-Stockton independents.
1t has been hard fight, but the Anti
Debris Association has stopped, every
monitor in the mountains, and now if the
Caminetti bill will do them any good
we shall rejoice. There is not a man in
the valley who would not glory in having
the miners able to carry on their work.
If the balance of the State is willing to he
taxed millions of dollars to construct
works for their benefit, this people will
not grumble; but whatever is done must
work to the desired end. and we will not
say in advance that any dams or other
structures will do it.-Colusa Sun.
There is an unmistakable preference
East and West for oranges of medium
size, the huge Navels being very slow
sellers on both sides of the continent.
The Riverside Press refers to this and
says: ut may be worth while to con-
slider if the use of fertilizers for the Navel
which are not too rich in nitrogen NAV
not help in obtaining larger percentage
of small-sized fruit of this very choice
variety. This constant call for small
oranges is likely to bring back our old
paper-rind st. Michael to its former pop
ularity with growers" = San Diego
Union.
The advocates of State division plead
that this end of the State is Disseminated
against and is left out in the distribution
of State favors. Facts, however. fail to
establish the justice of these complaints,
We now have the Governor. a United
States Senator, an insane asylum, a re-
form school, normal school, and vari-
Gus other State institutions scattered
around south of Tehachapi. Give the
northern people credit for fair treatment.
We are getting big enough to demand
recognition and we are being very nicely
recog ognized.-Banning Herald.
The San Francisco Stock ReDoyt has
discovered that the Sacramento REcoRD-
UNION, which is trying to break UP the
ring of land grabbers who have been COB
bllug up the State lieu lands by means of
dummy applicants, is inspired by de-
sire on the part of the Southern Pacific
to grab said lands. Very likely the
Stock Report will soon be demanding
pension for Sontag and Evans on the
ground that by holding up Southern Pa
citic trains they are working in the inter-
