Although the deep-sea harbor commits
sion is not court, the fact remains it
will hear evidence in the case Of the
Southern Pacific Railway company VS..
the people and the business interests of
Southern California. There is no doubt
at all that the railway company will
have paid local and imported witnesses
to testify exactly as they are instructed
to testify. But the high character of the
gentlemen who constitute the commits
sion is a guarantee that they will sift
such testimony and place its true value
upon it, which is none al all. The people
of Southern California do not believe
that the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany will be enabled to win the case on
manufactured evidence against them.

SAN DIEGO

Notwithstanding the dull times every
where during the last year, the activity
in Southern California cities has been
something remarkable. Buildings, both
private and public, street and lighting
improvements and enterprises involving
vast capital and energy, have made
Southern California the admiration of
all observers. But San Diego is perhaps
foremost in the ranks of progress. She
has in the last year done great things
for herself. She has in the last half year
in buildings, according to the permits is
sued. and this amount by no means rep
resents all the capital invested in this
manner
One of the most important of the public
improvements is the opening of the
cable car system by the Citizens Trac-
tion company and the electrocizing of
the entire road which covers five miles
of double track. 1t is the intention of
this company to extend the line five
miles further, making the terminus at
the old mission in the valley.
The San Diego Electric Car company
has made several extensions of it's lines,
involving large expense.
The largest irrigation system in
Southern California has commenced
operations in San Diego under the name
of Southern California Mountain Water
company. The estimated cost of the
work undertaken is more than $5,0o0,-
900.
A million and half dollars has been
voted for the city ownership of water
supply, and the construction of the plant
has been already commenced.
The new Pacific Steamship line, which
means so much for the producers of
Southern California, may be considered
an assured fact as soon as the residents
OF this part of the state are aroused to
an interest in their own prosperity
WHICH 10 AHSOANeu I'LL lIlS great enter
prise.
The developments of several irrigation
districts contiguous to the city-the
largest of which is the Linda Vista
comprising $4,000 acres, is making salts
factory progress. The bonds are now be-
ing placed. The cost of the Linda Vista
system will be over 81 900, 600 when COM
pleted. The work will be commenced
In the early spring.
Contracts have been awarded by the
government for the construction of forti-
fication work costing s175,oOO. The gov
ernment has secured additional land
and will soon advertise for competitive
bids for 100000 more of the same kind
Of work
The street Improvements, paving, side
walks, ETC., have cost not less than
$4,000. Property values are steadily ad-
vancing and the erd is not yet. In the
growth Of such a city as San Diego,
whicH II contributary to Los Angeles,
the ipedpie Of this city cannot fail to
take warm and friendly interest.

Robert G.. Ingersoll is reported TO have
received several thousand letters before
and since the election from his former
following, ~denouncing him for his posi-
ton on the silver question. Many Of the
letters say that they have taken down
bic pictures, and in one neighborhood q
bonfire was made Of them. The facts
are that 81. 900 per speech is what caught
Mr. Ingersoll. Mammon is in the land,

acted so Unexpectedly would have res

WHERE To BEGIN.

The Elko Independent says there is q
good deal Of discussion going on IN the
papers Of the State relative to the legis-
lation necessary to reduce the expenses
Of our present cumbrous and expensive
State government. All are agreed that
the incoming Legislature should abolish
all unnecessary offices and trim down
the expenses to the lowest possible notch
without impairing the efficiency Of the
government. So far as we have seen,
however, none Of the writers have point
ed out to the lew-makers where any
saving can be made by the adjustment
Of unnecessary offices. All say that q
saving can be made, but fail to specify
the officers who could be taken away
from the public crib without impairing
in any way the efficiency Of the State
government.
There has long been q deep seated
opinion throughout the State that there
are too many deputies employed in the
offices at Carson. This is especially true
Of the Secretary of States Office. This
officer draws a salary Of 5000 per month
and has a deputy at 500 per month and
q librarian at $50 per month, making the
office cost s 1920 a year. The lsw-msk-
ers should use the pruning knife unspar-
ingly on this Office and lop off the deputy
and librarian. except perhaps during the
sessions Of the Legislature. This would
make q neat saving to the taxpayers.
The Controllers and T~reasurer's offices
should be looked into carefully and the
expenses Of each materially reduced.
The Attorney General should be prohib-
tied from publishing long winded reports
Of self.gloriication. The travelling fees
Of the State Superintendent Of Schools
could be cut off without either impairing
the efficiency of the Office or Of the pub
lie schools. In fact this office should be
abolished, if it can be done, and its du-
ties placed upon the Attorney General.
The various State institutions should be
examined and all ex%travagance in their
management promptly checked.
Beside the retrenchment in State at
fairs the Legislature should abolish all
useless county officers and fix the salaries
of each officer in harmony with the
amount Of labor he is expected to per-
form. By the time the members OF the
Legislature carries out the reforms out
lined above, they will be thoroughly i'm
p~regnated with the spirit Of retrench.
ment and adjourn inside Of thirty days.
This alone would make a saving Of from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars to the
taxpayers.
The watchword Of the next Legislature
should be the adjustment Of all useless
offices, the looping off Of all idle deputies
and retrenchment in every department
Of State and county governments.

Us OUT.

The Eastern press is again discussing
what to do with Nevada. We should say
out it in two from north to south about
on the line which separates Oregon from
Idaho, attack the eastern portion to Utah
and the western portion to California /;
then cut California in two on a line east
and west in the neighborhood Of Monte
rey and make two States of il. We are
not saying that the people of California
or Nevada would like that. We are only
telling what the sensible thing would be
to do. Ii would give a large area to Utah,
an area, too, which will be very valuable
when the necessary roads are built and
the necessary work done. The two Cal.
ifornias would each have over 100, 600
square miles; each would be larger than
ell New England. We think the people
OF western Nevada would be glad TO be
attached to California, because. unless
something shall be done pretty soon to
induce railroads through the southern
portion Of the State, the carrying along
Of statehood will be a heavy burden on
the few taxpayers. And still Nevada is
about the best mineral State in the Union,
and the treasures which she will produce
when blessed with swift and cheap trans
portation. and the labor question shall
be finally happily adjusted, will be some.
thing wonderful.-Salt Lake Tribune.
