that time hail fell to the depth of three

and the prospects OF a frost are exceed
ingiy slight. Old weather observers who
have kept records during the past twenty
years state that freezes never occur during
wet winters. such as the present. They
also declare that, curiously enough, cold
snaps have never been known to occur
both in California and Florida during the
same winter. SO if these observations
count for anything-and they certainly
have some weight-we are doubly pro-
tected against loss this year. We have a
wet winter and Florida has had her

that 1t was most damaging in the case of Nc

VOTING MACHINES,
Humboldt Standard. !

II. II. Niebur has gone to Sacramento
to lay his invention before the law
makers of the State. Mr.. Niebur has q
model with him, that he has perfected
with great care, and thinks he has the
best machine to register the Will of the
people on election day that has yet been
invented. 1t will register 10000 votes
without an error, while from present ap-
pearances the Australian ballot cannot
protect the voter from fraud IN a precinct
casting ten votes. The development of
such startling frauds as those now being
uncovered in the city is proof positive
that some method must be adopted to Sc
cure an honest count. Most men who have
thought much on this subject are turn
ing their thoughts toward the voting
machine, as solution of the question.
The Meyer machine, or one similar, is
most talked of, but the Constitution Of
California calls for ballot. MIR. \ Neibur's
machine uses ballots-ball balIots-and
thus obviates the objections of the con-
stitutional provision, that would not al
low the Meyer machine to be used.
GOOD MATTER TO READ.
Stockton independent.
Not ali the public documents issued
from the Government Printing Office are
rubbish. An Agricultural Department
circular recently issued contains three
addresses by General Roy Stone. Special
Road Inquiry Agent and Engineer of
that department, on the costs and bene-
fits of good road making. Its fifteen
pages contain vast amount OF lnforma-
ton that should be in the hands OF every
farmer. 1t shows that good roads are
cheaper than bad roads; gives the cost in
several parts of the country of making
good, permanent roads and the value
such roads add to the land. The
whole pamphlet is not too long to be
easily read and digested, as is too often
the case with such literature. Every
farmer has time to read and should send
to the Agricultural Department. for cop
les to read and distribute. General
Stone will be at the State Road Conven-
ton February 7th at sacramento.

Some of our contemporaries are refer
ring 10 the defeat of the bill tor the re-
vision of the revenue laws Of the State as
the first partisan "clash'' between the
Legislature and the Governor. Consid-
ering that the bill passed the Assembly
and that the motion which killed the
measure in the Senate was made by a
Democratic Senator and was opposed by
only two of the members of the Senate, it
is difficult TO see where the partisan clash
came in. The revenue laws need revision
and no doubt another bill Oh different

The best remedy for overproduction is
the raising the buying value to the con-
sumer. If twice as much was consumed
as at present, then it would be but little
while before all accumulated product
would disappear. The masses of consum-
ers, at present reduced to bare necessities
of life because lacking lucrative employ
ment would, under other conditions, use
twice as much not only of breadstuff, but
everything pertaining to the comforts of
life. The rich, under better auspices,
would pay out twice as much for articles
de tltr. In short, to enhance and con-
sumo production, 1t is employment of the
