respondence.) So many exaggerated
statements are being published as to the
peat land celery products that the exact
facts should be stated. There were
about three hundred acres planted and
yield of one car to the acre was ex-
pected, but the yield was less. From
railroad men it is learned that the ship

dred and twenty-five carloads. The
freight is $3.50 per car to Kansas City.
Each car contains from 1900 dozen to
1900 dozen of celery. 1t brought in Kan
sas City from 40 to so cents per dozen.
with 10 per cent off for commission.
The rent of first-class celery land is $40
per acre. and there Is considerable ex-
pense for labor. Cultivators agree
that $100 per acre is about the net profit
to be expected.

SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, April 5.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Next to the municipal
election. which has become somewhat
complicated, interest on the outcome of
the street lighting muddle is still the
subject of general discussion. The
lines between the candidates seeking
political preferment in the council have
been sharply drawn on this issue, and
many candidates are out with circulars
defining their position, whether for or
against. Among the candidates for
mayor the condition is even more per-
picking. In addition to the question of
electric lighting comes the question of
how the various candidates stand on the
water question, and on the top of this
the question of preferment for the next
chief of police takes a prominent part,
and so on, until confusion becomes worse
confounded. But the result, whatever
1t might be, must be accepted philo-
sophically, and If it is not the survival of
the fittest, why, then, it is the survival
of that faction that developed the great
est strength at the critical moment.

the only explanation that has yet been
