KEROSENE OIL DANGERS

The charge made by an experienced
oil man to the mayor that much of the
oil sold in this city for domestic use is
dangerous because of excessive liability
to explode, should early receive the con-
sideration of the city authorities. There
is reason to believe that the charge is
true. In nearly every city there is
municipal ordinance requiring that all
kerosene oil shall stand a fire test of 10
degrees. Anything below that is dan
gerous. The danger is often aggravat
ed by the careless housewife, who neg
lects to keep her lamps filled, thus in
creasing the chances of explosion.
There is much more kerosene sold
here than there is in colder climates, as
it is used for both cooking and heating
purposes as we'll as for lighting. An
other source of danger which demands
attention is the possibility of careless
grocers selling gasoline for kerosene.
An instance of this kind was noted in
these columns a few days ago and il
was providental that an explosion did
not result. A second case of precisely
the same character has been noted in
the daily papers and probably the sub
stitution has occurred many times when
it did not come to the notice of the pub
lie.
Another source of danger arises from
a mixture of the two fluids, sold in some
instances for oil. There ought to b.
some way to make the retailers more
careful in dispensing kerosene oil and
gasoline. They should be held to strict
account when such dangerous mistakes
are made.
The council should provide for the
regular inspection of kerosene oil sold
in the city. If the authorities will
cause samples to be purchased at differ
ent stores all over the city and then
have them tested, it is probable that
some startling results should ensue.
We want both the ordinance and the
tests.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Beet Sugar Industry

All the hazards of the beet sugar in
dustry end with the production of the
beets at the factory. The certainties
begin with it's manufacture. 1t is cer-
tainly not too much to ask that a rising
industry which promises SO much of
benefit to the people Of California shall
for the first time in the history Of the
industries Of this state relating to the
soil deal fairly by the agricultural
classes. They are entitled to fair di-
vision Of the profit arising out of the
joint effort of the producer Of the raw
material and it's manufacture into high
er forms. They carry by far the great
est portion Of the risk. and at least pos
sess rights which all who attempt to dis
cuss this question are bound to respect.
If the beet sugar industry is launched
upon lines which relegate the farmer to
the low plane of the producer of raw ma
terial, we will have developed another
industry which contributes to the un-
equal distribution Of wealth and leaves
the producer of the raw material in pow
erty-Sacramento Record-Union.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA

He laughs best who laughs last. The
much esteemed Stockton Mail, because
The Herald expressed the opinion tha,
agriculture could not be made to flour.
ish in Alaska, emptied upon us its vials
of wrath and scorn, quoting all manner
of persons, insinuating that Alaska
could be made to blossom like the rose,
and declaring that it would, in the near
future become great agricultural
state. 1t walked all over The Herald S
PROSTATE form-in it's mind.
Now appears the report of the govern
ment commission appointed to investi-
gate the agricultural possibilities of
Alaska, as summarized in an Associated
Press dispatch, and this is what the re-
port says, in part:
While comparatively little agricul-
ture exists there, it is possible that
enough of certain crops and animals
may be grown to sustain a considera-
BILE population, provided proper meth
ods are pursued. The two commission
ers spent three months investigating
on the southern coast region of Alaska.
The reports say cultivated areas in
Alaska are confined to small kitchen
gardens in which are grown many of
our earlier and harder vegetables.
Stock raising is carried on to a very
limited extent. The possible extension
of the pasturage and gardening areas
is quite considerable. Estimates are
made of an expense of $500 per acre
in preparing the soil for cultivation.
Grasses grow to great perfection.
Little was seen of the cultivation of ce-
reals and small fruits. Berries abound,
though practically no attention is paid
to their cultivation.
AS to the country from the southern
boundary to Kadak and Long Island.
and from the Pacific to the Alaskan
mountains, the climate is extremely
wet but not cold: winters are very long
and the feeding period will be al least
seven months. The cereals will not
ripen and the vegetable will not ma
ture.
The Herald still maintains that Alaska
country predicted by the Mail. Farmers
cannot live off grass and berries. The
days of Nebuchadnezzar and the
Wild Man Of the Woods are past for the
American farmer. There is just
enough agricultural possibility in
Alaska to forbid the statement that
nothing can be grown there.
The commissioners report that an eX-
pense of $500 an acre will be necessary to
prepare the soil for cultivation. That
settles it. 1t is cheaper to begin any
where else in the country. Besides,
freight by sailing vessels from the
coast agricultural districts is cheap and
prices of agricultural products are not
expensive.
The herald., 1897-11-07

scale. but until recently these growers
, have handled their own product, which
has been mainly oil.
/ During the past ten years. however.
. great many people have planted out
olive groves, and for the past three or
four years enough of these trees have
been bearing to attract attention. The
crop of the present year will be of so
much Importance that several firms are
in the field for it, either as 1t comes from
the trees or after it is cured.
1t is taking a good deal Of missionary
work to introduce California olives in
the eastern markets. There is preju-
dice in favor of the Spanish olive. which
is picked green and picked to be used
as relish. The California olive is not
picked until it is ripe, and is meant to
be used more as an article of food than
lean palate to this has taken time. The
efforts put forth have been quite sue
cessful, and now that the skin has been
shaken, people of good taste and sense
will rapidly become converts to the use
of the most wholesome as we'll as most
palatable of foods. Its nutritive quail
ties are indisputable.
So general demand is there for the
picked olive that all the fruit suitable
for such use is being prepared in this
way and the smaller olives are going to
the crushers to be converted into oil.
The merchants prefer to take the fruit
right from the trees and prepare it them
selves, as they know just in what condi- |
ton the eastern market will take it, |
Growers have various methods of treat
ing their olives, and all Of them are not
successful.
The price that is being paid for good
olives is $50 per ton, or cents per
pound. A large tree will often yield 200
pounds of berries and sometimes as
much as $50 pounds. Taking the bearing
trees throughout Southern California,
perhaps 100 pounds to the tree is fair |
average. AS the trees become fully |
grown they ought to bear 200 pounds
each.
1t is usual with most intelligent grow
ers to plant seventy-five trees to an
acre. At 100 pounds to the tree, or 1900
pounds to the acre, this means $225 per |
acre for the crop, which surely pays we'll. |
Some have planted 100 and even 110 trees |
to the acre, but these at from four to |
six years old are too close, and at ten
years will have to be thinned. 1t is bet
ter not to crowd them. as ne-third Of the |
expense of trees. planting, care and |
gathering is avoided, while as many OIL
ives will grow on seventy-five trees as
on 100 in one acre of ground.
When the trees now planted in the
state all come into bearing their yield |
will be more than all the olives now used |
in the country. But their use will grow
very rapidly. AS the output increases,
prices, no doubt, will lessen and when
this excellent food becomes moderately
cheap the consumption is bound to be
very general.
The herald., 1897-11-07
THE PROBLEM OF POVERTY

It is encouraging to notice that S,
many of the periodicals of the day are
devoting no small amount of their space
to the discussion of social problems
and that the often discredited "other
half" is receiving a share of attention
from philanthropic thinkers. ,
The Midland Monthly has an interest
ing article by Mrs. Ada Knight Terrell,
entitled, "How to Relieve the Poor and
Prevent Poverty" which covers the
ground in comprehensive fashion. Mrs.
Terrell first describes the causes of pow
erty and divides the poor into classes.
The discomfort among the working
classes, as evidenced in their conflicts
with capital, is then cited, and the
writer declares that the real causes of
dissatisfaction among laborers exist in
the false ideas and faiths, motives and
practices of industrial and social life.
These, Mrs. Terrell maintains, are
caused by overwork, lack of employ
ment, irregular jobs, insufficient and
uncertain wages, the fact that women.
children, foreigners and inferior races
compete with American workmen. the
displacement of muscular labor by ma
chinery, and lastly by the advance of
civilization that constantly sets higher
standard of living, to which the wages
of the laborer are not adjusted. AS the
conditions of life are made easier popu
lation increases, and a new problem
arises.
Mrs. Terrell finds in legislation reme-
dies for many of the existing problems
and evils. Such recommendations as
these are made:
(io The state should require unhy
gienic tenement houses, rented at eXor-
bitant rates, to be rebuilt under strin-
gent sanitary regulations and let on
reasonable terms.
(2) The state should set limitations to
the power of corporations and should
see to it that they do not exceed or
abuse their rights.
60 The state should give trades
unions and other labor organizations
legal status. 1t should be a msde-
meanor for a corporation or a capital
ist TO discharge laborers for the sole
purpose of breaking up labor organiza-
tions, and also for organized labor to
strive to coerce capitalists or unorgan-
lied labor by the destruction of life and
property.
(D A monetary system. of such sta
bility as will prevent money panics and
the fluctuation of the purchasing power
OF money, should be provided.
(o Government should prohibit by
law such gambling in options as pre-
vent trade from following the natural
course of demand and supply.
90 Everywhere and always indus
trial life should be so guarded by law as
to secure to the poor their full rights
the right to labor and to enjoy the fruits
of industry.
For the relief of the poor Mrs. Ter
rell concludes that no single remedy
will ever succeed, and that mere changes
in the mechanical structure of society
will not avail. The permanent relief of
he poor, she says, must come from
the intellectual and moral improve
nent, not of the poor alone, but of all
,lasses For the prevention of poverty,
he education of the young promises an
eventual solution.

Her Pointer

They were driving along a lonely road.
and both had been engaged in deep
thought for several moments. Finally
she asked:
"Why don't you sell this horse and get
another?"
This is a very valuable animal" he
replied, 'and has trotted mile in less
than 2:15."
"Oh. suppose he is very valuable. but
l should think you would rather have q
horse that was not so full of life."
Surely you are not afraid? have
him under perfect control. There IL no
cause to feel the least alarm"
I'm not alarmed at all. suppose
you can control the beast all right. but
l should think you would want horse
that you could drive with one hand some
of the time"
The next day he traded his beautiful
horse for a "cow," and the maiden never
had cause for complaint again.-Cleve'
