THE RIGHT KIND OF OLIVES

The possibilities in the olive trade are
illustrated by the success of firm of OIL
i've growers just north of Sacramento.
They have made specially of fine ripe
picked olives. and this season the de-
mand for their goods exceeds their very
large output by more than 10, 900 pounds,
with the orders still rolling in. The ex-
perlence of this firm shows that the
home consumption of olives has greatly
increased and that the people have found
out that ripe picked olive is immeas-
urably superior to the green article
picked. In fact. great difference ca N
be produced in the demand Tor the olive
by the condition it is in when offered In
che market. The green picked olive is
certainly not to be commented to any,
thing but the most robust digestion and
hardly gratifies the palate in a way to
stimulate anxious appetite for it.
On the other hand, the ripe olive is en-
tirely healthful and possesses a seductive
flavor that is bound to beget in those who
use 1t desire to make OF it steady az
ticle OF diet. Thus is demand for this
very important California product gradu-
ally but,surely enlarged. These facts are
worthy tbs careful consideration of ev-
erybody interested in olive growing and
selling. The consumption Of an article
that is not entirely a necessity depends
entirely on its general acoeptability.
When the popular taste is captured the
demand will come.
Southern California is especially inter-
ested lin the availability of the olive in
the markets. for here it can reach a high
state of perfection and prolific bearing.
We have an immense area of land that
is lily fitted for any valuable product ez-
cept olives, and if we will furnish the
public with the latter in condition that
is both healthful and delicious as we can
easily do, our olive crop in time will ri.
val In importance those OF the orange
and lemon.

THE DILEMMA AND THE LOGIC

Tn various organs of the party of pro-
fession and privilege should get together
In conference ana agree on the cause of
the business revival. Ono set hold that
the reason is found in the fact that the
new tariff measure is after all very con-
sentative measure, substantially protec-
tive in character; yet mmediately upon
its adoption these papers chorused with
the entire Republican journalistic choir
70 the effect that it was ''rabid free
trade tariff act'' that was bound to de-
vastate American industry and work
wages down to the standard of ECU
e0pean pauper labor"
Another lot of the faithful are vigor-
ously contending that it is because of the
certainty OF Republican victory in 1896.
Now, this latter theory may be all right;
It may accord with soma modern system
of logic hitherto untnought of, but it
rather startles the people who have been
trained in the old fashioned notion to
learn that effect follows cause, instead Of
vice versa. Here, however, according to
these latter day logicians. is case where

der no condition could begin earlier than
March, 1897, produces prosperity in 1895.

which opens the season on Monday even

ayers of the day, such as Daniel and
Charles FrohmaI. A. W. Palmer, Au-
justine Daily, William H. Crane, T..
Henry French, etc. They have nearly all
been seen in Los Angeles at various
times with companies of the highest re-
pute.
! Thr repertoire of the Frawley COM
pany consists of standard plays. During
the engagement at the Burbank they will
present The Senator, All the Comforts of
Moths. Captain Swift. The Idler. etc.
Special scenery and poperties are carried
by tae company. One of the features of
the Frawley company is the beauty and
talent possessed by the lady mem bers
who form a coterie of loneliness seldom
to be found in a dramatic organization.
In San Francisco il became town talk
for months that the costumes OF the la

at the Colum bia theater were exquisite
gems of the modiste's skill.
One of the mem bers of the company,
Maud Lansing Rowan, is we'll known

There are some things to be said in
favor of the whipping post. as there are
per contra. For years it has been gene
rally regarded as relic of barbarism,
with no proper place in the civilization
OF the nineteenth century. Yet, when
the des1deratum is to make the punish
ment fit the crime" it would seem that
q wife-f eater could hardly obtain poeti C
Justice short of the whipping post. Of
course, in those exceptional cases where
the wife is herself the aggressor and as
saults her husband with rolling pin, a
carving knife, pair of shears or other
dangerous weapon. the husband should
be permitted to plead such assault in
extenuation of wife's castigation.
6eIf-defense is the first law of nature,
and this law is no respecter of persons or
costumes. But instances where the wife
begins the fight are exceedingly rare.
Police statistics show that IN aim ost all
cases of domestic hostilities the husband, ,
egged on by John Barleycorn, is the
first to declare war-and begin it. Such
. brute deserves little mercy at the hands
Of any magistrate before whom he may
appear.
Still the whipping post is not pleas
ant thing to contemp plate in this age.

The Question of Annexation

Editor Herald The a bove is the head
ing OF long letter which appears in all
the morning papsrs from Colonel F. A.
Eastman, who is in Chicago. 1t will be
remembered that Colonel Eastman is the
man who, by hard work and by appoint
ing numerous committees. got the scheme
OF annexation ON it's feet. In that Chicago
letter he refers to Chicago and other cities
as being profited by annexations, and
among others he mentions Denver as
having forty-seven square miles within
its limits. Is the colonel correct?
He forgot to mention one thing, and
that Is that Denver has thirteen suburban
towns and one city, all of which are dis
tinct from Denver and have their own
town governments and are doing first
rate. Denver, as queen mother, is in
the midst of these nesting little towns
and city; Here l will give you the names
of these little Notwithstanding, Brighton,
Collar. Elysa. Fletcher. Globevlle, Har-
man. Littleton. Montclair, North Dem
yer. Sheridan, Valverd and the city of
Highlands.
These suburban communities refused
to annex to Denver because of the addi-
ton of city expenses and of the corrup-
blOu Vi buc municipal SOf6THuleUC. luey
preferred to remain out and have their
own town governments simple and pure
as the mountain air of Colorado. Four
teen children located around the suburbs
OF their mother, purer and better than
she!
Is Los Angeles, in her municipal gov
eminent and In her expensive machin-
cry, any better than Denver? Not at all.
Denver's taxes are less; her county offioi-
ais assess and collect all taxes, city and
county, and many other Offices perform
the double duty. Her officers do not get
such high salaries. and the city conven-
fences and regulations will compare fav-
orably with Los Angeles. and yet these
communities saw the gain in staying out
of the city. Why, then, should we rush
into annexation with our eyes shut to
open them when toe late. to see the
financial wreck of 30 per cent of ou- poor,
and ourselves taxed all we can bear.
The colonel did not say anything about
Boston, with its surrounding towns that
refuse to annex. He makes a point of
Chicago, which, he says, has made it's
growth by annexation.
bad example. Chicago Is a cesspool
of perdition. Chicago is a synonym for
all that is immoral. low-down, dirty.
filthy criminal. How much better would
it have been had twenty suburban COM
munities refused to annex and formed
themselves into towns as at Denver, with
their inexpensive AMI pure governments.
A thousand times better would it have
been. Let us take the hint and vote
down annexation on the Sd.
Colonel Eastman will please excuse me
for cutting his article right in the middle
and destroying its connection. for neither
the head nor inferior extremities are
good for much when thus severed. The
writer pays taxes in the city Of Denver

AN OUTLET AT LAST

Those capitalists who have been con-
sdering the proposition OF handling the
oil output OF Los Angeles as though they
enjoyed complete monopoly of the op-
portunity with an eternity of time at
their disposal, will now have the salts
faction OF seeing the Standard Oil COM
pany walk away with the persimmon. If
tine average Pacific coast capitalist were
less porcine in proclivity and more ex-
peditious in method, he might arrive
more frequently ahead of his eastern
competitor. The coming OF the Standard
Oil company into the Los Angeles oil
field as a buyer and shipper of the
product is certainly encouraging to the
producers Of the oleaginous stuff, and is
pound to have an enhancing effect on
the price of the material. 1t Is probably
not too much to say that the question OF
an outlet is virtually settled.
So the pumps can pump, and the drills
dill. until the magnitude Of our Pc
troleum outpourIng shall have made Los
Angeles as famous for oil as it is now for
fruit, flowers and climate.
