WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

Cotton naturally feels sore because the
Southern California Citrus Fair is to be
held in Los Angeles this year. This is
only natural. The people of Cotton went
to big expense in building the pavilion,
and to have it used but once seems
We question the policy of the Cotton
Chronicle, however, which would dis
credit the fair in Los Angeles. 1t advises
the fruit growers of the county to let the
fair severely alone, and if they want to
show off their fruit to place it in the
Chamber of Commerce exhibit in Los An
geles. Cotton may spite herself by pur-
suing this policy If she chooses, but the
rest of the county believe 1.-The hub"
should fight its own battles, and will
make a creditable showing of their pro-
ducts.-Ontario Record.
According to interviews published in
The Herald the citizens of Los Angeles
are more favorable to railroad built to
Salt Lake than one running into the San
joaquin Valley. The Spreckels road is
not likely to stop at Bakersfield and
there is reason to believe that it will
either make connection W. tn the Santa Fe
at Mojave, or else be pushed through
Walkers Pass and thence to connection
with the Rio Grande or other roads in
Utah. Los Angeles will have to get
NOV on or she will lose both this valley
ocrat.
Los Angeles boasts of novelty in the
shape of glutton by the name OF George
King. He once ate twenty-one meals in
day and didn't have the stomach ache.
He will take a bet with any one that he
can put away in his astronomical appar-
atus in nine hours good many dozen
doughnuts, eighteen large round mince
pies of the tough kind you find in res
taurants and three square meals besides.
King would be awfully handy to have
around Visalia to eat up the tough steak
the cattle around here sometimes develop.

Los Angeles is getting ready to build
competing road to Bakersfield. Oakland
people are to get new railroad running
out of their city to-anywhere, they care
not The valley road in San Franc SEQ is
still booming, and-oh, here and there all
over the state there are railroad schemes.
Everyone of them is after some OF the
Southern Pacific's business, and yet the
octopus quie ly contemplates the whole
works. WHAT'S to be the result?-Wood-
land Reporter. a
The Los Angeles Herald says that prop
erty owners are getting uneasy about a
Santa Fe scheme, because the motor COM
pany has purchased land for the erection
of small depot on Carey avenue. If the
Santa Fe should make spur from its
main line to Pomona, we do not think it
would do any ser Gus damage to us, but
no nights of sleep need be lost over the
matter at present. Pomona Beacon. w
We notice that the Los Angeles news
pa ers, which used to treat San Francisco
in patronizng, supercilious fashion, are
beginning to manifest marked signs OF
hostility and jealousy toward the metrop-
oils. We would rather see it that way,
though of course friendly relations aid
mutual assistance would be pleasanter
and, for Los Angeles, more proht be-

A good many hogs are being shipped to
Los Angeles from this section. Looks like
it's a sort of waste to send live pork down
there and sell it at a low price, and then
buy bacon, hams and lard from there at
hish figure. Is there really any good rea-
son why there could not be packing
house here, and so a lot of money kept at
home that is now sent away. y.-Bakersfield
Californian.
The Los Angeles people are now clam-
oring for the railroad from that city TO
Salt Lake. The Herald says that Los
Angeles must be on the lookout, as the
San Francisco and San joaquin Valley
road may switch off at Bakersfield and Il
transcontinental route be esta blished
