Chinese are not even hospitable enough

The exchange idea is growing. The
strawberry growers of Glendora, Azusa

for the profitable marketing of the succu-
lent berry. Ontario Record.

The Assembly bill prohibiting the dis
play of foreign flags on public buildings
is good. The bill would be better if it
were more fa' reaching, and prevented
foreign flags from being carried in pro-
cessions excepting in Mardi Gras or Fiesta
pageant Santa Barbara Independent.
The woman suffrage movement seems
to take the lead in the western states. 1t
is in the wild and woolly West" that the
women are receiving the greatest en-
enlargement and help in their struggle for
electoral rights. In this as-<well as in
other matters of reform and progress the
West leads the van.-Escondido Times.
1t makes us tired to read some fool min

Many Of them go into ecstasies over the
Jones bill and predict that silver will go

Papers that talk about five-stamp bat

subjects. -Mohave Miner.
To make great match, financially con-
sidered, to have a brilliant wedding, to
go abroad for few years and renounce
allegiance to the United States, and then
to come home and get divorce-this is the
devious course of true love often followed
by members of New York's Four Hundred.
The granting of divorce to Mrs. William
K. Vanderbilt is case in point. -Pasa-
dena Star.
The Assembly has passed an act cre-
ating dairy bureau. The claim is made
that the bill is in the interest OF dairy
men, but it is more likely for the purpose
of giving some loafer an office. There
are plenty of journals devoted to the dairy
interests, and if they were read more in
dustriously and the contents needed,
dairymen would need no bureau.-Han-
ford Democrat.
Another immense war loan Of 500, 000-

as possible and thus make large saving

POSSIBILITIES or AdAvE

In line with the effort to establish
manufactures in this sec ion OF the state
| is the endorsement by the Chamber OF
| Commerce of this city of the proposition
| to uti ize the fibre of the agave in the
production of textile fabrics cordage,
Irvine and paper. The feasibility of the
proposition should commend itself to
capitalists. A plant for the manufacture
OF the staples may be as expensive or as
economical as the amount invested de-
mands. Labor and fuel are comparatively
cheap in this city at the present time, the
former being supplied from the ranks OF
! the unemployed and the latter from the
| oil wells.
The raw material may be obtained in
unlimited quantities from Sinaloa and
Lower California. 1t is OF the best quality
and can be laid down in Los Angeles at a
minimum of cost for transportation.
There is world market for tn, manufac-
tured product of the agave ana if Los
Angeles will embark in the enterprise of
supplying the demand that will be i'm
mediate created she may enjoy virtual
monopoly.
In Mexico they have already tested and
approved the agave as textile material.
The A ztecs used it before the Spaniards
came to conquer them, and today every
horse is tethered with the rope manufac-
tured from the Der of this plant, and
hundreds of thousands swing in the ham,
mocks knotted with the Irvine. There
are many products Of the agave, chief
among which is coarse, strong cloth,
valuable for a multitude OF purposes, but
the manufactured article that would
prove most beneficial to California is the
grain sack. The agave is superior to jute
for this purpose, as it resists humidity
and may be put upon the market at
profit to the manufacturer without the
necessity OF employing alien or convict
labor-a circumstance that will commend
1t to the patriotic economist.
If Los Angeles is DESTROYS of making an
effort in the direction OF manufacturing
industry the opportunity seems favorable
and agave is apparently profitable base
of operations.

As the climax OF their efforts to make
the fair a success, the Exchanges have de-
cided to make this Fruit Exchange Day,
and in order to set forth more fully the
work and purposes of their organizations,
they have invited all the business men
and members of the press to meet them at
II o'clock this morning in the assembly
room of the Pavilion, where it is hoped a
better understanding between the bust
ness men and producers will be effected.
The occasion promises to be most inter-

the city should make it point to be

A spasm of virtue convulses San Fran
cisco. 1t trembles along the tentacles of
the tenderloin and it has reached the
heart of the depravity there existing. The
Grand Jury has indicted the landlords
(and ladies) of the district for renting
their houses to disreputable people. 1t is
not necessary to add that these indict-
ments do not extend beyond the ten
derloin district. Moreover, it is not likely
that the spasm will result fatally.

The State Surveyor Generals report
shows that applications to purchase 147, 806
acres of state lands in the district of Los
Angeles were filed in his office between
August l. 1892, and August Is, 1894. This
is strong indication of the manner in
