Oakland Enquirer: Pennoyer of Ore
gon now says that the refusal Of the Chi
hese to register SIS most undoubtedly the
result OF collusion between the President
ana the Chinese Minister to disregard
the laws" 1t was not like a gentleman
TO say this. Governor Pennoyer is like a
enid who, being laughed at for one bad
trick, continues to play bad tricks till he
has 10 be spanked.
Tulare Register: Buy in the cheapest
market has been held revelation of
economic wisdom, but Just what consti-
tutes cneapness is not always apparent
a temporary gain may mean perma-
nent loss. If long experience goes for
aught, 1t pays TO patronize ones neioh-
bors who are doing legitimate business;
to build up ones home, creating a mar
keC that can both take and supply: to
never lose sight of the valuable indirect
benefits conferred by a live local trade;
to remember that if you fail TO buy Of
your nelghbors you deprive them of the
means OF buying of you.
Anaheim Gd-ette: on the ostrich farm
ut Placenta a number of the female birds
are now setting, and eggs are also being
Matched out by an incubator. In each
wing OF an ostrich twenty-six white
plumeS grow to maturity every eipht
months, and seventy-fve short feathers
are plucked for tips from each wing.
SlNty-hve of the tail feathers have COM
mercial value. The female ostrich laws
seventy eggs a year. The feathers are
worth from $50 to so per pound. and are
IN good demand. a few days ago a large
Shipment OF feathers was made from this
farm to London, showing that this
county has established reputation
abroad Tor this industry as well as in
its numerous other products.

that city, and the RECORD UNION IS adj
Vocatlng the same disposal of it in Sacra
| mento. This matter has been mentioned
IN the Common Council of this city and il
has been advocated by the Record and
| some of its contemporaries, but the
chances seem to be that none of the in
terror cities of California are ready To
give the system trial. 1t is goinn to
take an epidemic ofsome zymotic disease
to get municipal authorities walked up to
the Importance of.questions like these.
Tulare Register: The Fish Commits
slonerS have announced their intention of
stocking the upper Sacramento and other
streams with black bass, a purpose which
IS generally commended. The objection
TO bass is their voracious appetites hnt
they are gamy and fish approved bv
epcures. If they will eat carp they
should be fostered with the greatest care
The Phoenix Herdid says ''Salt River
| Valley and Phoenix are ATTRACTING tho
attention of the entire country, east west
and north. The capabilitV of the soil and
the water resources have been recognized
by men of capital Why is Southern
Arizona attracting so much more atten-
ton than San Diego County Just now.
asks the San Diegan sun? Simply he
cause 50 much is being done to deyeloD
water. Railroads could not increase the
productlveness of Arizona. Water alone
can do it-water alone is doing it. Rail-
roads have now become necessity there
to carry of the produce that will resnlt
from the extensive irrigation that is be-
ing practiced. More money has gone
into irrigation enterprises along the line
of the proposed Phoenix road in Arizona
during the last two years than has been
| invested in water business in all San
| Diego i'll the last ten years. Yet San Diego
County Will yield far greater results from
irrigation than Arizona ever can. More
money is needed in water enterprises in
san Diego County.
Oakland Tunes Down in Fresno =
preacher has stirred up strife by charp-
ing that society women get drunk at the
functions" of the -Four Hundred. The
latter deny the accusation, and there YOU
are. 1t is question of Veracity between
the preacher and the hdut ton. 1t is ex-
planned that one woman tainted at q club
reception and was sent home in a hack
and that the parSon was meddlinp with
something that did not concern him any-
way. Aside from the fact that it is re-
freshing news to the outside world To
learn that Fresno has attained the dis
tinctlon Of "a social CENTER" we are in
clined to stand il" with the victims of
this preachers criticisms. In the first
place we cannot see why be should make
/ it his business to expose the sins of his
erring tellow-men and women under anv
circumstances. This pulpit criticism has
! gone too far already. 1t reached an in
decent climax i'll Stockton the other day
when an itinerant gospeller accused
women who dance of being inclined TO
lewdness. In this Fresno matter we are
OF the opinion that even if the preachers
| charges are true those whom he accuses
were privileged as free born American
citizens to get drunk if it so pleased them
and such methods of enjoyment were not
properly within the scope of the pull
piteer's censure.
San Jose Herald: 1t behooves the San
Jose Board of Health to be moving in this
matter OF burning the garbage OF the city.
