or Interest to Grape Growers

A proposition has been agitated for
the past six months to control the wine
grape crop of the State for seven wears
at stipulated price. The author of
this movement poses as the savior OF
the grower, and publishes as the OBJ
ject of his philanthrophy the eleva-
tion of the price of grapes and to place
the grower on sound financial basis.
If these things We're literally true
and no ulterior motive it would be a
very good movement on the part of the
grower But let us look into the scheme
lurking behind this charitable herald
OF prosperity. The ordinary consump-
tion of wine is increasing rapidly; the
acquisition of the West Indies and
Philippines will make an enormous de-
mand for California wines, and our
grape products are making great
strides in foreign marts, all of which
increases the market for grapes. which
is now greater than the supply. and
grapes have an upward tendency.
New wineries are being built, more
buyers are in the field, competition is
keen. In consequence grapes are in
good demand, and there are no good
reasons why they should not command
better values than heretofore and re-
main so.
Trusts are being formed everywhere
Ihis movement is probably intended to
put the farmer and his crop in the
hands of gigantic wine trust for seven
years. Is it just to bind the grower in
an lron-clad contract for seven years,
and the trust by giving thirty days. no.
tce has the privilege of annulling it at
any time? If the trust thinks that SD
and S14 per ton is a reasonable price
now, it believes that grapes are liable
to be worth S15 and $40 after the ma
Jority of growers have been whipped
into line. These are probable reasons
why the trust wants to spend millions
annually for sweet charity and the
growers sake.
1t is an aggregation of capital fore
seeing new and unusual demand for
wines at advanced prices, and an en-
deavor to cut the grower out of legiti
mate competition in the open market
Tor his grapes, where he would receive
the benefits accruing from a free trade,
and reap the profits of an advancing
market for the products of his land
and labor.

to the petition He had met with the
Corporation Counsel and the repre-

Nine COUNTIES ARE CITED.
EQUALIZERS MAY INCREASE
ASSESSMENTS.
A Contest Over Los Angeles and
San Francisco Subsidies to
Their Advantage

At meeting of the State Board of
Equalization yesterday the following
nine counties were cited to show cause
why their assessments should not be
raised:
Glenn.
August 30th-Santa Clara and Santa
Cruz.
On August 31st-Mendocino and San
Diego.
On September 1st-Alameda and Sac
ramento.
Mr.. Colgan was alone in voting
against citing the counties, and there
was some caucusing before the list was
agreed upon. In the first list San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles Counties were
cited, through the formers assessment
roll has been increased S53, 100000. and
in the latter case S5,000,000.
Finally L. H. Brown, who opposed
citing San Francisco, joined hands with
I. o. Toland, who opposed citing Los
Angeles Mr.. Brown moved to recon-
slider, then to drop the counties from
the list, and when the question came to
a vote Mr.. Colgan's vote helped the
gentlemen out of their dilemma. and
the two large counties were dropped.
In the case of San Diego County the
citation was made to enable the board
to learn why the local board made a
heavy reduction from the Assessors fig
ures.
The following figures show the as
sessments of last year, compared with
those just returned by the Assessors
of the counties in quetion:

Still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for I'M
itation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has many imita.
tors, but no equals for Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets things
right in the stomach, and when the stom-

]. r. May.
The brother of Howard, she says,
did not come to California in pique
either, and such a statement would
cause anguish to his father, the rela-
tions between father and son being cor
dial. The brother was not employed
in the Pinole Powder Works, where he
was killed by an explosion, but he was
visiting there only.
Mrs. Howard is firmly of the opinion
that her husband was drowned, and
that the drowning was accidental, no

sion.

In the case of San Diego County there
is little doubt that a good reduction
will be allowed to stand, on the ground
that the county has heretofore been
