Prices of Farm Product.

California agriculturists are adopting
a modification of the trust system to
secure higher prices for their products.
Combinations among the raisin-grow-
ers and the wine makers have resulted
in an advance in rates for each of
them. Following this example, the
lima bean growers of Ventura and
Santa Barbara counties have formed
an association which plans to hold
this years crop for 9 cents a pound, at
which rate they are willing to make
contracts with Eastern buyers in car
load lots. 1t is probable also that a
large proportion of the orange and
lemon crops will be disposed of on the

A few words about Marquette and his dis
coveries, drawn principally from Catholic
sources, may not be uninleresting at the
present moment. jacques Marquette was
born i'll Laon France, in 1867. At the age
of seventeen he entered the Society of
Jesus, and fourteen years later was or
dained priest, and set out at once for Que
bee. After three years spent at Three
rivers studying the Algonquin and Huron
languages he went with a party of Nez
Perces to Lake Superior in 1GGS When
Joliet was commissioned by Frontenac. at
the command Of NJ. Talon, minister of
Louis NV, 10 send discoverer to find the
South sea-" Pere Marquette, who had then
given years of untiring devotion to the
starving and defeated Hurons, went with
him. With five men he and Joliet made a
voyage in two canoes of 2,:5i49 miles, includ-
ing their return to Green bay, most of IT
over the great waters of the Mississippi
Joliet's boat was overturned and his paners
lost, so that the records Of the venera bic,
priest and devoted missionary alone remain
to tell Of that most perilous voyage. Worn
out with his pious and unceasing labors as
a missionary to the Indians and by the
Eardships of this "hazardous but not fool
hardy expedition" as he himself called Il:
he died, says Parkman, near the Sleeping
Bear river in 1913 hundred years before
the peclara ton of Independence In 1881
George Rogers Clark attacked Detroit and
was repulsed The cession of Illinois and
tie northwest by Virginia was not made
until 1874, consequently the United States
did not control in 1873 either the state
of Wisconsin or the Mississippi river,
The discoveries of Marquette benefited the
French king, Louis XIV. not our republic.
He was in no sense of the word "a citizen
Of Wisconsin, illustrious for distinguished
civic or military services" as The law calls
for.
The question is not one of faith or at
tire, but of fact.

BALL1sGToN BOOTHS PLAN.
He VIII Appeal to the Artisans Of the
Republic.


Republic.
There was a large meeting Of supporters
of Ballington Booth, who lately resigned
his command In the Salvation Army, last
evening In Cooper Union, New York. Mr..
Booth gave the following outline Of his pro-
posed religious n ovement:
Mrs. Booth and myself have not come
here tonight to allude to the recent sad
trouble. 1t is quite true We have, after
mature deliberation, decided to inaugurate
new movement. Could we have avoided
1t, it would most assuredly have been done
on our part; but recognizing that the great
American people believed that we had done
work nine years for which they were
gratifed. and would not listen to the pro-
test that We would retire into private life,
We have concluded to stay here and work
on new lii es.
Recognizing, as we did the largest field
in the world, and still further recognizing
that there was room in America for one
two, aye, one hundred Salvation Armies We
have resolved to the best Of our ability to
win ever the middle classes of the artisan
community OF this country. We wish no
strife with the Salvation Army, no strife
either literal or verbal.
Il believe that the failure, 20 called, Of
the religious organizations of the present
day is that they do not come down to the
living places where Jesus Christ wants TO
be represented.
Il want to assure Mrs. Booth and those
officers who have stood by me that / see
IN the distance a movement which tonight
has received it's impetus in this great gath
ering. do not want anything that exists in
the air, but genuine conservation of our
soldiers to the faith of Christ
There is at least 46 per cent of the
wage-eau ing populace Of the community
who are not identified with any church or
place Of religious worship.
1T is these We want 10 reach and extend
to them the love that inspired the Nsza-
rene on the streets of Jerusalem nearly
1890 years ago."

MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED.
Demonstrations In
Suafn More Serious.

Anti American Denominations In
Spain More Serious.
Tie actions Of the mob element in VAL
encia, Spain. yesterday, became so threat
ening that martial law was proclaimed In
that city last mig It.
A crowd numbering fully ten thousand
persons met outside the bull ring and at
tempted to enter that place for the purpose
of holding a meeting to express anti-Amer-
fcan sentiments.
The authorities had issued an order for
bidding the holding of such meetings, but
no attention was paid to it. The gen.
darmes at the bull pen refused to allow the
mob to enter and were told that they were
traitors to Spain. Then several persons in
the crowd cried, Long live the republic
whereupon the geadarmes charged the
mob.
The crowd answered with several revol-
yer shots, and one of the gendarmes was
seriously wounded in the chest. The stu
alton had assumed such menacng aspect
that orders we're given to the gendarmes
to fro upon the NIB.
A volley was fired from the carbines car
ried by the gendarmes and the crowd sour
ried fer shelter.
1t is not known positively whether any
body was shot or not, but 1T is believed
that the volley was fired over the heads
of the rioters.
Later the courage of the-crowd returned
and with augmented numbers the mob
marched through the streets shouting,
Long live Spain" Death to the Yam
keesr
The police and geEdarmes repeatedly op-
posed the crowd. but their efforts to re-
store order were not of the slightest avail.
The governor Of the province then pro-
claimed martial law and any further riot
ing will be dealt with sternly by the mill
tary power.
On account of the prohibition Of the
meeting crowds formed in the streets and
made demonstrations. On APPROACHING the
American consulate they broke out into
yells. They were kept alta distance, the
building being protected by guards, and
no damage was done.
Other Demonstrations
There were -evecal small disturbances at
Saragossa, bat the authorities alert
and determined and the rioters were easily
dispersed.
At Tara coma NEE ting attended by 1000
persons was held number of fiery
speeches We're made, the speakers glorfy-
ing Spain and holding the United States
and its people up to q. rsion and contempt
The meeting broke UP amid cries of Long
live Spain!" Death to the United Statest"
At Bilboa a crowd of five hundred per-
sons attempted to make an attack upon
the American consulate. but were prevent
ed by the police.
At Nitora posters were put upon walls
declaring that Spain must go to war with
the uEitei States ana put 4 curb on Yam
kee arrogance.
The bands in the places of public resort
at Barcelona PLAYED patriotic airs, and
were encored again and again. People on
the boulevard sang patriotic songs, and
there was much che ering for Spain and
shouting Of Death to the Yankees"
1t was evident frC m the conversations
everyW here heard that a war with the
United States would meet with popular ap-
proval.
Many persons gathered about the French
consulate and enthusiastically cheered for
France. which country, according to popu-
lar belief, would surely be an ally of Spain
