community, w. w. Cooper, the new
editor OF the Voice, announces that the
paper will still appear as a semi-weekly.
The Voice is Democratic paper, but
very independent one. On that point it
says: 1--WE do not believe that political
views should be the chief end Of any but
county-seat paper, and that the field of a
local paper lies in the locality which sup
ports it." That is wisdom worthy of emu
lation.
Milk Inspector Dockery of San Fran
CISCO may draw consolation from the fact
(among others) that although the matter
OF his salary is in nebulous condition
the influence of his example has pene-
trated to Arizona. The Tucson Citizen
after quoting The CALL on the subject of
MI. Dockery'S exploits, announces that
The services OF such an officer are badly
needed In that community. Then it
makes this extraordinary statement: ''The
Citizen has it on good authority that one
Tucson milkman offered to sell another
receipt for milk-making for $50. He justi-
ned the offer on the grounds that no dairy

The San Luis Obispo Breeze has discov-
cred a number of hackers for its sugges-
ton to construct railway from Port Har-
ford to Bakersfield. This would give the
farmers of the upper San Joaquin Valley
an outlet to the sea- but manifestly not as
level and inexpensive one as that which
the San Joaquin Valley Railroad will offer.
Moreover, this road is an assured fact, as
| its construction is actually under way, and
Bakersfield is understood to be one of the
| points which it will touch. In combating
the powerful monopoly which now con-
trolls the traffic of the valley it is difficult
to imagine wiser plan than concentra-
| ton of effort on a tangible, visible and re-
| liable remedy.
The Placer Argus announces that it has
bought the interest heretofore held by L.

Ii. Richmond. This is getting back to old
conditions and principles. 1t expresses
the true idea of journalism in announcing
this: While We do not covet the reputa-
ton of being stilted and censorious, we
think we would be recreant to duty if we
did not give free expression to our views
on all matters involving the real interests
of the people,
The Bakersfield Californian announces
the welcome news of an incoming colony.
1t appears that Eastern capitalists have
been investing heavily in Peso District
irrigation bonds. and our contemporary
thus explains the fact: Negotiations have
been in progress for some time, and now it
is definitely stated by the local agent Of the
capitalists referred to that arrangements
have been made by which there
Danes settled there within the next
twelve months. The number who
have already been secured as probable set
tiers is put at $500 all told. The intending
colonists are practical farmers almost to a
man, and none have been allowed to join
who have not the means necessary to
make proper start in new country.
1t is expected that work on the canals will
be completed some time next month and
water will then be put on the land. twill
then be ready for settlers, who will COM

The Morning Herald is bright daily that
