What Some Interior Papers Have
to Say.
Expressions Upon Matters of Living
Interest to the
People.

Instead of planting shade trees as is SO
olten done regardless of utility or beauty,
why not form societies in towns, cities and
country neighborhoods, and make neigh
borhood selections of beautiful forest
specimens for the roadsideS and avenues.
ms can easily be done in California,
where the most beautiful tropical as well
as hardler trees are easily grown.
southern California has paid most atten-
ton to this matter, thing highly priced
Dy Eastern tourists.-IoDe Valley Echo.
Sacramento is determined to have
manufactures, and several columns are
published of the names of citizens who
have expressed a Willingness to tax them
selves i'll order to hold out inducements
IN the shape of bonuses for the location of
such establishments in that city.
Strangely enough, there is no distinction
drawn on political lines, and Democrat
and Republican alike are eager in their
Willingness to contribute. 1t is
an eminently sensible proceeding, and
only illustrates the exceeding great diff
ference between theory and practice. If
other communities would initiate the eX-
ample set by Sacramento it would be q
good thing for the entire State. bakers
held Californian.
1t is a fact that corps of surveyors are
in the field surveying a route east for the
extension of the Enright railroad, and
We have met several people who think
they have tip" who say they are dead
sure the road will reach Burney Valley
next fall, and one gentlemen was san
guine enough to assert that it will be
built to Alturas by next Christmas, but
this guess is unquestionably very wild.
But, however, there are several facts that
warrant the assumption that Joseph En-
night Is getting ready to push road build
ing eastward in the near future, and when
fN..an
the road Will be showed right through to
Alturas before stop is made.-Redding
Democrat
Never attempt to tear down or destroy
the business or reputation OF your neigh
Dor, to benefit your own selfish whims.
Like boomerang, it will come back to
you. our conception of right and
wrong may be vague, and your neighbor,
like the criminal before Justice, should be
given the benefit OF all reasonable doubt.
Show Christian spirit in all things, and
you VIII have nothing TO regret. In short,
do unto others as you would that
others should do unto you" u."-Willows
Review.
The experts whose views appear in
the RurGL Press from time to time differ
In opinion as to the advantages of plant
ing small crops among young trees.
There are those who claim that what is
thus raised is clear gain while others as
sert that there is loss on trees to offset
the gain on what grows between rows.
Sifted down the best judgment appears to
be that too much depends upon location,
crop and methods to admit of any cast
iron rules. Some of the most careful
orchardists in the valley utilize the space
among young trees, but they do not ex-
pect TO get as much crop as without trees
1t is not held that corn and wheat and
broOmcorn put i'll thick and close TO the
rows is a pure benefit, but beans, pea
nuts, melons and pumpkins are often
raised without apparent injury. We give
these as views which good farmers have
given us. New hands in this section will
doubtless experiment for themselves as
others have done.-Tulare Register.
The raisin producers of Fresno are or
ganizing for another cooperative cam
paign to protect themselves from the
tricks and eXactionS of the middlemen.
They are not discouraged by the inaus-
plclous turn OF the market last year, but
propose hitting in the same place until
they secure proper market and their
Just share of the proceeds of their in
dustry. The oranGe-growers of South
ern California are emulating their plucky
example. California has so recently
demonstrated her ability to furnish a
large surplus of fruit and fruit products
that the channels of trade have not vet
supply. They are now in the formative
stage, and as they become established
they are likely to remain for many years
Upon the conditions which are now Sc
cured depends the question whether
fruit growing will continue to be a
profitable industry or whether it will
drop to the level OF corn and wheat-groW-
ing in the West. If the middlemen had
their way about it they would absorb all
the profits and leave the grower ONLY
enough to keep soul and body together.
The producers must organize all along
the line and stick to their organizations
il they expect to hold their own,-Los
Angeles Times.
The disagreement of the Jury in a re-
cent case of tili-tapping. in which there
could not be a reasonable doubt of the
guilt of the accused on the evidence Of
tered, tends to show the utter absurdity of
permitting one or two men out of twelve
10 pervert justice. In this case the pris-
oner himself was so disgusted that he
pleaded guilty, and yet two jurors were
found to be in favor of his acquittal As
matter of fact the requirement of una
nimity sin our jury system is curious
anomaly that cannot loo soon be abol-
ished. Its tendency is to defeat instead
OF promote, the ends of justice. 4 ver-
dict in any important criminal case NAV
be prevented by the stupidity, obstinacv
would be remedied and trial by Jury i'm
proved by making the agreement of two
thirds or three-fourths OF the Jurors suffi-
cient for verdict.-San Jose Herald.
The Sacramento RECORD UNION has
done most excellent piece of work in
getting estimates of the cost of vineyards
and fruit trees per acre in this State by
leading fruit culturalisst. including fig
ures by Frank II. Buck, A. T. Hatch.
Leonard Coates, General Bidwell and
Mr.. Grau. In another column a sum-
mary OF the conclusions OF these expert
enced horticulturists will be found, which
we are certain will interest the read
ers of this paper.-SonOma Democrat.
The San Francisco Bulletin has been
declaring that the railroad monopoly has
been sapping the substance OF the State
by its excessive freight rates, and now
that the railroad has adopted a reduced
schedule of rates, the Bulletin saws the
reduction is part of a conspiracy to in
Jure California. If reducing rates is
conspiracy against California, the more
the railroads conspire the better the peo-
pie viii like them. 1t is on just this Kind
OF a conspiracy that the state depends
for its future prosperity.-Placer Herald.
