used to fill in any small depressions which
may develop under the enormous pressure
OF the roller. When the work is done the
road Will be as near perfect as it can be
made with the material at hand. The
grading will be finished this fall. From
time to time during the winter, as the
rains get IN their work, the scraper and
Ine roller will go over it again and again.
"nen summer comes the road will be
treated as Kearny avenue formerly was
treated. A ditch along the side of the road
Will supply water and the sprinkler will
pump 1t up and shower it on the road,
thus keeping it damp ell summer" The
expense, which will be small, is to be
borne by the wayside vineyardists.

Dunn & Lennon, publishers of the Car
son Tribune, have dissolved partnership.
Mr.. Dunn has gone to Santa Cruz, and Mr..
Lennon remains in charge of the Tribune.
He announces that the paper will soon APP
pear in handsome new dress. The 1rab-
une has been always famous for the fear
lessness with which it speaks out, and
while this admirable policy is to be con-
tinued, Mr.. Lennon announces: 'The
public may rest assured that no one unde-
serving of praise Will ever receive it in the
columns of this paper. Praise bestowed
indiscriminately upon everything from the
mere idea of policy has no weight and the
intelligent person does not care to receive
commentator at the hands OF one who
protests against nothing"
The Arizona Republican, published at
Phoenix, gives glowing account OF the
wonderful resources of the Salt River Val
ley. 1t speaks of the famous ruins of the re-
markable irrigating system which assured
the prosperity OF prehistoric race and
holds them up as an enticement to modern
engineering skill. AS an evidence of the
wonderful fecundity of the soil it declares
that five acres can be made to support
family in comfort

pushing the sales of California fruits, and
adds: while it is true that the con-
sumption of the United States is only
meagerly supplied with California fruits
and deserves the close attention indicated
the fact that San Francisco is one of the
really great seaports of the world suggests
the idea that greater scope should be given
the efforts of the fruit growers-a scope
that is practicable only by organized
effort, and that is to have trusted agents
in all the leading consuming points. Only
In this way can they keep in close touch
with their trade and avoid the exorbitant
profits of middlemen. Profitable expert
ence can only be gained by experiment
Try the bright and hard-working men
whom THE CALL refers to and then wait
for the results which experience in other
lines OF trade has proved, after long con-
tinued effort, to be successful"
E. F. O'Neal has retired from the con-
troll of the San Luis Obispo Breeze. He
facetiously explains that he was moved to
this course partly through consideration of
the fact that he has daughter approach
ing the manageable age and that it is
necessary for him to begin the accumula-
ton of dowry 'that will enable her to
ensnare titled husband from the horde of
foreign bummers who are invading the
land, and are rapidly robbing US of our
surplus silver and accomplished feminine
beauties" He cheerily says of his sue
cessor: "Under the new management, so |
am informed, Mr.. Baumgardner will WELD
the editorial pencil. 1T is true that he
moves in an orbit of peculiar and eccen-
trio character, but time will rapidly soften
down what now appears strange in his
mental makeup, and at the same time add
to the beauty of his physical outlines"
The Santa Cruz Daily Sentinel celebrates
its entrance upon Its twenty-fourth vol
| ume by arranging to receive Geographic
news up to midnight. This is wise stroke
of enterprise which the intelligent people
OF Santa Cruz will appreciate.
The Willows Journal, after giving an
able account of the natural wealth and
| splendid attractions of Glenn County, and
showing that wheat-farming will be super
seeded by scientific fruit-growing, gives
this interesting news: Necessity is a stern
commander. acknowledging no law but
compliance. Having placed the seal of
condemnation on the old order of things a
new one must succeed. Our unrivaled soil
has attracted the attention of enterprising
men with plenty of capital. Around this
magnet there is now crystallizing a we'll
planned enterprise covering many thou
sands of acres of our very best soil which
will be subdivided into suitable tracts for
homes. Irrigation will be no longer a
dream, but reality, and development
