not announced that any fee is to be
charged for information given. or, for that
matter, that this is to be college in the
ordinary sense. 1t seems to be merely an
association of public-spirited men who are
undertaking the fostering of an important
industry at their own expense and for the
general good of the State. 1t, therefore,
should receive the moral and financial
support of all citizens and associations
who desire the progress of California.
The establishment Of such college by
private enterprise may be taken to ex-
press not only the need and value of such
an institution but lack on the part of
the State Government. The principle OF
Government instruction in agriculture has
been recognized by Congress in the estab-
lishment of Department of Agriculture,
and to certain extent by the State OF
California in the duties with which 1T has
charged the State University in advising
and instructing the people in some agri-
cultural matters-in protecting orchards
and vineyards against infection, promo
ting forestry and in other ways. At this
institution the principles of agriculture
constitute special course of study. But
while the university has numerous col
leges, such as those of the law medicine,
dentistry, pharmacy and the like, it has
none for the special promotion of the in
dustries peculiar to the State. In other
words, while it is equipping young men
and women for the learned professions it
is not training them in the specific indus
tries which make California State unique
in the sisterhooi, and upon the mastering
of which its greatness depends far more
than upon the achievements of its citizens
in the learned professions.

COAST EXCHANGES.

The Stockton Mail, asserting that that
progressive city asks Congress for $3.50, 900,
shows intelligently what the money is
needed for and what benefits its use would
bring. OF this sum $3.50, 600 is wanted for a
public building, which the growing size
and business Of the city as the entrepot of
the San Joaquin Valley amply warrant.
The remaining 100000 is needed for the
Improvement of the rivers thereabout. On
this subject our contemporary properly
says: Gas to the sum We demand for river
improvement, there is not the slightest
doubt that were it twice as large we could
find good use for every cent of it. Too
much money has been spent on temporary
improvements, and it is high time that
some permanent work be done. If the inn
portance of the San Joaquin River to the
middle portion of California were fully
how it could refuse the 100000 Stockton
demands. The San Joaquin is weighty
ia ctor in the transportation problem and
any money spent in improving its navi-
gability will be money well spent. We
hope every California Representative and
both our Senators will do their utmost to
get Stockton that $4,000, and our people
should give them every backing in their
power"

quently called" it says, "to the fact that
vessels with any foreign goods consigned

This long formality is the cause of consid-

the receivers of the goods here, and as

desirable residents, who were unwilling

the fine metropolitan character which it
now enjoys and as the Times was an i'm

THE OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
Philadelphia Inquirer.

The weak spot in the situation is clearly our
foreign trade relations and the tariff laws,
which are unable to retain our stock of gold at
home and are inadequate to raise sufficient
revenue. But our domestic trade is certainly
not bad. Immense crops are TO be hauled to
market, railroad earnings will be large and
the returns to the farmer will be in the main
satisfactory. The process of recovery is SLOW
but it is certain. Even with bad tariff laws it
is impossible to destroy the prosperity of q ma

The farmer in the Mississippi or Missouri
Valley who looks to-day upon his large yield
OF corn for which he is offered only from Is to

that his apparent good luck is a snare and a
it properly advantageous. He can defeat the
fate which seems to have emptied the horn of
plenty on him only to poke grim and bitter fun
at him. 1t is simply question of putting the
corn into cribs and waiting for it to acquire a
higher value. A result OF that sort is sure to
ensue before many months and he is foolish if
he sells any sooner.

TALKING OF BICYCLES
ST. Paul Pioneer Press.

General Miles, in his report, recommends
"the bicycle means OF transportation" for
use in the army, and wants the equivalent of
full regiment of twelve companies to be
equipped with wheels and motor wagons
There are already 1000 men and officers in the
army who are able to use the wheel, and by
transferring certain number of these so that
the bicycle riders could be massed together a
thorough demonstration of the plan could be
effected. The purpose is not to use the bicycle
i'll battle, but for the delivery of dispatches
and the transportation of infantry to the point
of combat. The idea is deemed practicable nv
the League of Military Wheelmen, and it is
certainly worth the experimental test which
General Miles suggests.
