sideration there appears to be such varia-
ton from the normal as to convince the Off
GERS that the insane asylums, which are
State inst itutions, should bear some of the
burdens of the counties in the expensive,
though comfortable, housing of Migrants
There are q great many honest, sober
and energetic men out of employment,
and some of them may be driven now and
then to beg. Such case stirs pity in
every generous heart. But the type of
Migrants who employ the county jails as a
convenient means of compelling the COM
munity to give them a living which they
have no desire and make no attempt to
earn, are serving to make the road of the
deserving man out of employment all the
harder to travel. And in sense the
counties are in league with the professional
tramp to heap burdens upon the honest
mans back. Their petting of the unwor-

THE STATE FAIR.

The preparations for the opening of the
State Fair at Sacramento to-day seem to
have been conducted on an uncommonly
generous scale. The list of entries for
exhibits is large, and will include wide
range of new features illustrating the
progress of the State during the past year.
OF course the races, being the most excit-
ing and spectacular feature of the exhibit
ton, are receiving at present the major
part of popular attention, and the lists of
horses which have been entered for long
programme of races indicate that the
events will be exceptionally interesting.
They will be in reality but minor fea-
ture of the fair. This is an institution
which brings annually under review an ex-
position of California's greatness. 1t is
true that what can be brought under roof
is only small part of all that makes the
State what it is, but as State institution
it brings together, in compact and easily
comprehended form, the best of the indi-
vidual achievements of Californians. Not
only may strangers find at Sacramento the
best of opportunities for learning quickly
some of the marvels of the State; but Cali
fornians themselves can find entertain
ment ana instruction from q comparison OF
this years achievements with those of
former years and from wider comprehen-
sion which the fair viii afford of the innu-
merable things which contribute TO the
greatness of their State. Even good and
loyal Californian may be made better and
more loyal by visit to the fair.
Sacramento is preparing for another
great event-the annual celebration by the
Native Sons of the admission of California
to the Union. This will occur on the 9th
inst, and the enterprising young men who
compose the organization have promised
to eclipse all their former efforts in the
way of spectacular celebrations. With the
State Fair, the celebration of Admission
day and the forthcoming electric carnival,
Sacramento will be the center of observa-
ton for several days to come.

LOS GATOS REJ0ICES.

The laying of a third rail to Los Gatos
from San Jose converts the narrow gauge
railroad into broad gauge, and permits
of direct loading of fruit for the East in
refrigerator and ventilator cars, doing
away with the injurious necessity of re-
loading from narrow-gauge cars to the
broad-gau cars at San Jose. The dis
lance between San Jose and Los Gatos is
only eight miles, bat until the third rail
was laid this distance was as great an OBJ
stacle as the Humboldt Desert in reaching
the markets of the East. Los Gatos was
justified in rejoicing by means of great
public demonstration Saturday night.
Los Gatos is not the only place affected.
Indeed, the entire stretch of eight miles
between San Jose and that town is con-
tinuous succession of orchards and vine
yards, and this splendid stretch is even
wider than long. In these wide planta-
tons are grown large proportion of the
prunes which have helped to give the
Santa Clara Valley its fame. We appre-
eiate the ground for this reputation when
We reflect that the yield of the older prune
orchards in that section this year is $500
an acre. There are no hard times in a
Santa Clara Valley prune orchard.
1t would not be possible to find a more
attractive corner of the State than that of
which San Jose and Los Gatos are the
centers. The latter town lies at the mouth
of the canyon of the Los Gatos Creek,
where it issues from the Santa Cruz Noun
tains. The town spreads itself over the
lower hills and looks down upon the great
shining valley that stretches far away to
the north and east. 1t is thus above the
level of the mild frosts which visit the
valley, and thus il is that its fuchsias and
geraniums grow TO be trees and its orange
orchards yield so bountifuIly. This is q
condition appertaining to long stretch of
the lower Santa Cruz Mountains TO the
northwestward. The climate is of that
fine invigorating character which offers
the strongest inducements 10 the invalid,
and the contiguous mountains, forests,
mineral springs and trout streams offer
allurements of their own.
The stranger who would see horticulture
IN the finest, most artistic and most scien-
tic form will find it in all its perfection
in this favored spot. 1t is wonderful even
to a Californian, who has been reared on
wonders. Let us take q glance at the
variety OF products and try to understand
their significance.

and olive oil in quantity, red, white and

INGENIOUS OFFICERS.

A strange piece of news comes from an
interior county of this State. 1t is to the
effect that a yagrant who had served his
term in the County Jail refused TO leave
its vicinity when discharged and clamored
for readmittance, and that the officers,
deeming this an evidence of his insanity,
have arrested him and propose to secure
his commitment to an insane asylum. 1t
will be interesting to observe how the
Lunacy Commission will regard this
evidence OF the mans insanity. We are
not informed that any other is to be
offered.
1t would be rash TO deny that the man
has a certain kind of mama. The terrible
hardships imposed upon willfuI Migrants
in the iails of California are remarkably
conducive to the form of insanity which
this man has discovered. Upon being
found to be willful and dangerous vag-
rant, pilferer, a frightener of defenseless
women and an ugly character when drunk,
he is committed to Jail. There he is

About the only luxury for which he longs

for the other comforts he is likely to de-

GUERNsY MARKET HOUSE PLAN.

Financial writers have recently had much to
say in regard TO the Guernsy market-house
model OF procedure in building public insti-
tutions. James Harvey of Liverpool tells how
the plan came to be adopted. He says that
when Governor Daniel de Isle Brock was
waited on by q deputation of citizens OF ST.
Peters, who requested his eountenance and as
sistanee toward the erection of covered mar
ket, much wanted In that town, the Governor
readily consented, and asked in what way he
could assist them most effectually. He was
told that the principal difficulty was to raise
the required funds. The Governor replied that
il that was the only difficulty he thought he
could surmount it; but he would first ask If
they had the requisite stores of brick, timber,
granite and flags. but above all, had they the
skilled artisans and laborers required for build
ing the market? They replied that there was
no want OF labor or raw material, but their
difficulty was chiefly financial. ''on," replied
the Governor, s'n that is all you want, will, as
Governor, sign, stamp, declare legal tender,
and issue 5000 market notes; with these pay
Tor material ana wages, go to work ana onlid
In Jonathan Duncan's aBank Charter Act"
book now almost out OF print, the following
explanation OF the plan is given: 1.-THE ma
terial wealth OF that small island (GueTnsyl is
computed at 94,0O0,0O0 $50, 900 600. In
stead OF borrowing money at interest 10 bulld
the edifice, the Inhabitants issued notes OF
their own, founded on their own credit. This
was done by the authority of the local Parlia-
ment, or States. The estimated cost OF the
market was $1,000 $50, 000), and $4,000 in
pounds were issued. These were paid to the
contractor as the work proceeded. With these
he paid the wages of those he employed. They
in turn gave them TO the shopkeeper for goods;
the shcpkeepers paid them to the landlords Tor
rent, and they again redistributed them among
society. In this manner they were kept float
ing about, fulfilling the functions Tor which
they were created.
s'In due season the market was completed. 1t
contained eighty shops, which were let to
butchers at 80 1921 q year. So that the actual
rental was f40o $4,000. Al the end OF the
first year OF tenancy, 400 OF the Fl notes which
had built the market having been received as
rent by the States, who were the owners OF the
national building reared with the national
money, were burned in the presence OF the on
eIal authorities. The same operation was re-
peated from year TO year for ten years, at the
expiration Of which ell the notes were re-
deemed, and being Cancelled, Of course passed
out OF circulation. But the annual rent Gid
not cease 10 exist 10 this day and is applied 10
local improvements. Thus substantial reality
was created out of q symbol, for Ii is plain that
the market did not cost farthing to any one
OF the Guernsey people,"
