The exhibition will be open but a few
days and in that time the association OF
poultry raisers ought to receive cor
dial Endorsement and recognition in the
way of large attendance by our people.
The exhibition of fine bred dogs which
is to be held in conjunction with the
poultry show for convenience opens
Saturday. While it can scarcely be said
to represent an important state inter
est, it has strong attraction for a very
large number of people and it adds In
terest to the poultry exhibition in con-
sequence. 1t is said by those who are
skilled in these matters that the Ken
mel Club has managed to bring together
an altogether superior lot of animals,
and that the bench show promises TO be
one of the best and largest ever held on
the coast That a judge should have
been called upon to come out from New
York to pass upon the merits of the
animals is Indicative of the great in
terest taken by sportsmen and dog
fanciers in this branch of the exhibit
ton at the Pavilion.

FRUIT TARIFF

Red Bluff Peoples Cause: The Ways
and Means Committee will take up the
subject of fruits about the first Of Jan
uary, and the hearing will continue
only about five days. There Is, there
fore, no time to lose. The State Horti-
cultural Association has prepared a
schedule of tariff rates which it Is de-
sired to have Incorporated in the new
tariff bill, but the fruit-growers Of the
Sacramento Valley should add their
voice to that of the State organization,
and steps should be at once taken to
place all desirable Information promptly
before the committee.

FOR BIMETALLISM

Escondido Times: Keep 1t before the
people that a return to bimetalhsm Is
the only road to national prosperity.
The coming four years will probably de-
monstrate to many heretofore doubtful
ones the truth of this assertion. High
tariff may aid in some sections, but it
will not cure the general depression un-
der which our entire country is now suf-
fering.

CENSUS TAKING.

San Diego Union: There appears to
be substantial merit in the bill now
pending in Congress providing for the
esta blshment at Washington of per-
manent Census Office to undertake the
work of making the twelfth and sue
ceeding censuses and the collection of
other essential information The plan
is to make the office a permanent in
9titution and to continue it's work of
collecting statistics every year, as well
as making an enumeration Of the pop
ulatipn every ten years, as provided by
the Constitution 1t Is claimed that
the cost of the office for the entire ten
years would be no more than the
amount expended in taking the eleventh
census, which was S11, 100000. If this
estimte Is correct the office should be
made permanent on the SCORE of econ
omy.

Mr.. j. ID. Miller, sealer Of weights and
