THE OUTLOOK
Chico Chronicle Record: There is ev-
cry reason for farmers to feel hopeful
Of getting a little ahead this year. The
| prospects for crops are good and the
chances for excellent prices favorable.
! The worlds surplus of grain is low and
the war in Europe has already had
! tendency to stiffen prices. In spite OF
/ predictions to the contrary, the fruit
! crop will be good, and with the better
prices for this product growers Of fruit
| and grain stand a better chance of
realizing something for their labor and
| investment. And as in a great meas
ure the prosperity of all classes de-
! pend upon the first prOducers-the land
| tillers-the chances for a better condi-
/ ton of affairs all along the line were
never better.
A DIFFERENCE IN THE MORN
ING"
Placerville Mountain Democrat: There
seems to be something in the sage
! brush of Nevada that makes starva-
ton spicy and death itself a sensational
pleasure. In commenting on fool law
reducing the charge for certain land
advertisements, from SOB to 81, or just
the cost of making and filing affida-
Wits of publication, the Genoa weekly
Courier" mocks at misery as follows:
The impression that newspaper men
work for love and nothing to eat seems
to be gaining ground. The notice re-
curing publication contains three
squares and must be published ten
" eeks. At legal rates, the price fixed
by law for State and county advertis-
ing, the charge for the notice would
be just S33 Quite a difference in the
morning,
This is a hard, cold world, my
masters, and some of the hardest men
in 1.-THE hardest up, we mean-are
newspaper publishers, not a few of the
/ Nevada brethren having lived on
dreams and issued their respective
sheets regularly for years on a change
of shirts and half a dozen church social
tickets But the boys all swear that
this land notice is the last straw
SALT BUSH.
Stockton Mail: Some Australian salt
bush has been growing upon the
Experiment Station grounds at
Tucson. Arizona, without water,
for over two years. The loca-
tin of the plants is upon the mesa
north of Tucson, where ii is very dry.
! This would indicate that this forage
plant is valuable for arid regions, and
as experiments made elsewhere show
that it thrives upon alkali land, it
promises to be a very valuable acqui-
sition for all the aridl region included
in what was once the Great Desert.
MURDERER KLOSS
Alameda EncinaI: In the presence of
death Kloss lied about the treatment
of his mother. That he had abused her
| frightfully and foully was well estab
lished by the guards who heard it. In
the presence of death he said, or is
said to have said. that Durrant con
/ fessed his guilt to him. In the pres
ence of death Kloss lied in the one
case, ana doubtless lied in the other
as well.
GREECE.
Stockton Record: 1t is not probab bic
that the Powers viii divide Grecian
territory until they get it to divide.
with the Turkish army halted at the
mountain pass, with volunteers hurry
ing to Greece from many lands. with
the Balkan States organizing and mob
cial Greek Commission in secret con-
ference with the Russian Government,
and the tide of Christian indignation
rising beyond control in Western Eu-
rope, there is no probability that Greece
will be partitioned this week or next.
GOOD ADVICE.
| The Calistogan: If one watches him~
self as thoroughly as he ought he finds
his time is so nearly all employed that
he has but little left in which to look
after the faults of others. He is also
generally so surprised at what he
learns about himself that he has no
inclination to criticise his friends, even
though he really finds time to do so.
FISH INTERESTS.
Pasadena News: The State Fish
Commission has done good work in
propagating and distributing different
kinds Of fish. The northern part of the
State has received large numbers Of
these little fish and are stocking their
/ lakes and streams with many varie-
ties OF good food and game fish. The
large streams. reservoirs and lakes of
Southern California ought to be stock
ed. The Fish Commissioners informed
the writer that they have many va
rieties ready for distribution now and if
applications are sent in they will fill
them. They particularly recommend
the bass for this section. They want

use Of them. They wish. therefore APP

tatives. Therefore If you wish some fish

GREAT DISCRETION.
Haywards Journal: President Nc
Kinley is exhibiting great discretion in
the appointment of Ministers TO the
principal countries. The latest evidence
of his wisdom is the selection of Presi-
ident Angel of the Michigan University
to represent us at Constantinople
President Angel is one of the biggest
men intellectually of the nation He
Will bring a broad intelligence to such
a mission that must increase respect for
this country on the part of the one to
which he is accredited
