Good Roads.

No subject is engrossing the atten-
ton of the public in general, and the
farmers in particular, more at the pres
ent time than the establishment of good,
permanent roadways. 1t is the most
important and proper movement of
public character yet advanced, and the
continual activity displayed by the adj
vocates Of progress will, without doubt,
accomplish for the people an improved
system of road building.
The Department of Agriculture has
taken great interest in the subject, and
is experimenting with the most modern
methods, to the end that a general sys-
tenn may be recommended to the vari-
GUS States for practical use.
An object lesson" road has been
completed by the Rhode Island Agri-
cultural College which has greatly aid
ed the movement in that State. We are
satisfied that the construction of such
a road between Sacramento and Fol-
som, as was intended by the Legisla-
ture of 1896, but the law as framed
would not stand the test of the courts,
would have had more effect in pro-
noting the subject than any other
method of advancement yet suggested.
The sentiment for good roads is grow
ing. as shown by the passage of pro-
gressive laws in New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, and other States.
We trust that the Legislature now in
session win see it's way clear to lend all
aid possible to this movement, to the
end that California will be in the line
of general road Improvement

The Beet Sugar Industry.

The beet sugar industry bids fair to
be the great industry of our State, and
one which will make California uni
versally prosperous. To-day we find
in California eight large sugar factories
located at or in the vicinity of the fol-
lowing named cities or towns, viz: Sa-
linas, jacksonville, Chino, Hueneme,
Alamitos Alvarado, Crockett and the
Union Sugar Company at Santa MariaA
During the past season QS9S) these
eight factories would have contracted
for nearly 10000 acres of beets, but
owing to the extreme drought three of
the new factories did not attempt to
run, finding it impossible to obtain a
supply of raw material. The balance
of the factories could secure but a
scanty supply, and were operated far
below their stipulated capacity. If the
season of 1899 is favorable to the indus
try over 100000 acres of California's
most fertile land will be devoted to the
raising of the sugar beet.
Land adapted to sugar beet growing
will average fourteen or fifteen tons to
the acre, from which the farmer will
realize about $50. The cost varies with
varying conditions and location, but
will in general range from $50 to $40
per acre. The farmer will thus net $40
to $50 per acre on his seasons crop.
The above is figured on basis of 81
per ton, which was the fixed price for
the season of 1898. With an increase
of 30 cents per ton, the contract price
for the coming season, the outlook is
extremely bright for the beet raiser.
The following statistics represent the
beet sugar output of California during
the past ten years: --s =

The Young Pianist Pleases the
Critics In Canada.

Miss Kittie Heyman, the young Sac
ramento pianist, is winning new vic
tories. She is now in Canada with
Nine. Sembrich, the famous prima
donna, and the people of the cities
there are in raptures over her playing.
The critic of the Toronto Mail and
Empire concludes a long review of one
of their entertainments there as fol-
lows, after discussing Nine. Sembrich's
singing:
The big little pianist, Miss Heyman,
I'M al popular sense, divided honors with
the prima donna. 1t is to be feared
that ths~taste of modern audiences is
becoming hopelessly emotional 1t is
certain that only marvel like Sem
brich can succeed in making norid
mechanical vocalism tolerabfe to the
present day concert goers.
Let me confess it that, dazzling and
delightful as Sembrich's singing was
enhanced, too, by the impression that
one would look back ION it as some
thing rare and marvellous in years to
Gomez, l derived no less satisfaction,
rather more, perhaps, from the magic
fire music of Wagner's Die Walkure,''
which Miss Heyman rendered on the
piano, and which earlier in the week
received a fine interpretation at the
hands of Miss Ruhina Preston.
1t is music that grows on one, and
transcribed from its original vehicle for
the piano, it becomes what is called
absolute music; that exists by virtue of
the pure grace of its ideas, without ref
erence to it's dramatic significance. Miss
Heyman is, indeed, a most exceptional
performer, with a strong individuality,
backed by power, technical equipment
and a fine intelligence. Her rendering
OF the Rachmaninoff prelude, a solemn
and lovely compositionJ was also ex-
quisfte. This, by a. coincidence, was also
played by Miss Prestom.
"Considering Miss Heyman's success,
1T becomes doubtful whether even the
most amazing and beautiful vocal tech

same direction, and over production IS
the result. This WILL however, regu-
late itself, and the State will benefit
accordingly. -
The California Fruit Growers and
Shippers Association has been SER
yiceable in keeping the shippers and
growers informed as to daily shipments
throughout the season. and their report
shows total shipment Of all kinds OF
fruit to Eastern points to be 1924 car
loads, as against 1924 in 1897. The
value of this output is estimated to be
81 .341, 800
We publish in detail the distribution
OF these cars. The prospects at this
writing. are most favorable for an in
creased output of citrus fruits. 1t is
estimated that the yield will exceed T.
OOO carloads, as against 10000 fol
last season.
To more fully and intelligently show
the reason for increased fresh fruit
shipments, we have to present the fg-
ures on the cured pack as estimated for
1898 (exact figures not yet obtainable)

numbers, in the corpuscles of northern

fever
1t WIS also shown that intravenous
southern cattle into susceptible north
ern cattle resulted in the contraction Of
the disease by the latter.
When susceptible northern cattle
were exposed to tick-i infested southern
cattle the northern cattle contracted
splenetic fever, young ticks were found
OF them, and the micro organism was
present In the blood. In the case where
susceptible cattle We're exposed 10
southern cattle from which all the
| ticks had been removed, the suscept-
ible cattle did not contract the disease.
Still more conclusive were the tests
when susceptible cattle We're placed in
a pasture that was infested with ticks
taken from southern cattle. (No
| southern cattle had ever been admitted
to that pasture.) The susceptible cat
tie contracted and succumbed to the
disease
1T has also been demonstrated that
young ticks Matching artifically from
eggs laid by adult ticks picked from
southern cattle, when placed on sus-
| ceptible cattle, would transmit the dis
ease.
1.-The harmfulness of southern Gn-
fectious) cattle after being deprived Of
the cattle tick brings up the very inn
portant question whether such cattle
cannot be freed from ticks.
For a long time it appeared as
4 he oh \,
would kill these parasites without Sc
treated Recently it has been found
that a petroleum product (paraffin OLD
will destroy the ticks without endanger-
/. ing the cattle.
This disease has been seen among
the cattle of most every county in the
State during the past season. An out
break in Solano County resulted in. the
loss of 1900 cattle, and was traced to
infection brought in by San Luis Obispo
cattle.
IT have records of severe outbreaks
of the disease in Los Angeles, San Ber-
nardino. Kings, Tulare, Fresno, sono-
ma, Sacramento, Napa, Sierra, Plumas,
and many other counties.
Total eradication of sp1enetic or
Texas fever in California is impossible,
but your organizations for the protec-
ton of the livestock industries should
be empowered to use stringent means
for controlling tan investigation by
a competent expert should be made to
ascertain and quarantine infected To-
calities,, regulations should be pre-
scribed for the movement of infested
cattle, quarantine oorrals, stock yards
and dipping stations established, ar
rangements perfected for cleaning in
fected cars, and the immediate estab-
| lishment of a State quarantine line.
| We hope the Legislature will pass the
needed laws for the establishment OF
quarantine lines, and regulations for
! the movement of infected cattle.

The Horse Industry.

There is no denying the fact that the
years Of depression just passed through
have greatly diminished the supply of
horses, as practical uses of this animal
have been curtailed to an extent in
keeping with the general business Of
the country, the returns would not JUS
tlfy extension, and the breeders have
governed themselves accordingly. 1t is
we'll they have, as the result will bring
steady demand at good prices. Breed
ers will now follow the markets more
closely, and produce only the character
of animal in demand
CALIFORNIA; record as to advantages
for breeding high-class stock, as we'll
as the achievements of her output, has
been so often published that reference

this class of stock is forthcoming, the
breeders will guarantee to keep the

THE MAYOR on THE CHEMICAL
- 81 ENGINE CONTRACT.
.vetoes the Action Of the Trustees
Says the Sum Allowed Is
1865 Too Much.

Mayor Land declines to approve the
contract decided on by the City Trus-
tees for the purchase of chemical, en-
CINE for 81 $50, for the reason, he says,
that it is 1855 higher than similar en-
CINE made by another company can be
purchased for. The Mayor has fled the
following message, with the Clerk of the
Board of Trustees: 81,
Sacramento, Feb. LIST.
To the Board of Trustees of the City
of Sacramento:-I herewith return to
your Honorable Board, without my ap
prevail, the contract of the City of Sac
ramento with the tire extinguisher COM
engine My reason for disappearing
said contract is as follows:
First-The bid of said fire extinguisher
company for the furnishing of a double
eigEty-gallon chemical engine is not
the lowest sum bid for such an engine;
the price bid by said company being
s., $50, and the. bid of the Racine Fire
Engine Company for a similar chemical
engine being $1,S95, or 1855 less than
the bid of the said Fire Extinguisher
Company as accepted by your Board.
The specifications as set forth in the
bids of the respective companies above
named are substantially the same, and
am informed by letter from Eugene
Wood, general coast agent for the Ra-
cine Company, that there is but little
difference between their double eighty
and the Champion double eighty, or
that offered by the Fire Extinguisher
Company, and his company offers to
give the Pacific Surety Company of San
Francsco as security for the faithful
fulfllment of their contract, should the
same be awarded them.
/ fail to see why the city should ex-
pend $3.50, or any other sum, in excess
of what first-class chemical engine
can be purchased for, and believe the
chemical engine offered by the Racine
Company should be given a thorough
investigation before the one under con-
sidesation is purchased at the price bid.
do not wish to be understood as fur
thering the interest of any particular
firm or company. but do desire that the
city shall expend only such sum as
viii purchase first-class chemical en-
CINE, and no more.
Second-In my judgment the city
should purchase a sixty gallon chem
ical engine, instead Of an eighty gallon
as contemplated. Very respectfully.

Texas, splenetic, and Cattle Fever.

The prevalence in California of Texas
and other cattle fevers during the, sea-
son Of 1898, causing severe losses to
cattle owners, makes 1t necessary that
prompt and concerted action be taken
towards controlling, If not total eradi-
cation of these several diseases AS it
now stands the. entire State is quaran-
tined by the Federal Government
against cattle shipments by reason of
these facts.
The live stock interests are of suf-
ficient magnitude to warrant the neces-
sary movement upon the part of our
State Government to protect them,
otherwise extensive losses to property
will continue.

be empowered to act with the officials
