We never howled single howl fol
the Democratic nominee. We did
not use the columns of the Oil Re-
view for Columbus Allen or any
body else. This Is true for the very
good reason, If not for no other,
that In 1896 Joseph P. Sweeney Of
this city, was the Democratic nom :
inee for clerk of the county court
aud not Mr.. Allen. Mr.. Allen ran
for Circuit Clerk In 1906.

fee of Clerk of the County Court of
this county, against our present

open letter In the Star last week
addressed to "John H. Mccoy, Esq
Ed, which shows that our friend

us many questions which we will
proceed to answer. After saying
few little sarcastic things which we
will give Our personal attention to
later, Mr.. Long begins his ques-
lions which we will number for him
and answer them. His first ques-
ton Is this:
70 II want to ask you In the
the first place; what have you In
the matter? Do you think the Re-
publicans of this county will allow
you as Dem ocrat to dictate the
nomin atom"
We answer No to all of this. The

dent paper and as such has the
right to advocate the election of
any man be he Democrat or Re
publican.
20 "Do you not do nearly all
the JOB work which Is done for
the Clerks Officer"
No sir; If we have done dollars
worth ofJOB work we cannot recall
1t and our books show no charge
for JOB work from Mr.. Hickman.
If we have ever done any JOB
work for him 1t was very small
and triflug job.
40 "Is 1t not this which makes
you open your mouth so many
times concerning this matter?"
As we have done no JOB wo rk
that could not be the cause of our

question Is to the same effect and
the answers given settles the above
questions so conclusively that Its
not necessary to 60 any farther. II
any person has any doubt about
this JOB work Our books are open
for inspection and we challenge

show different from what we have

The MiSIeadin0 Census.

A few days ago the Arizona Repub lican alluded briefly to the surprising revelations made by the census fig ures in the matter of the dispro- portion of marriageable men and wo- men in the several States. According to the figures, says that paper, the proportion of single men to single women is as B to 21. That is to say, twelve out of thirty-three bachelors must go unmated, or wait for widows to become available for matrimony. And in some States the situation is apparently worse than this. Tn Cali fornia, for instance, the census re- turns show 239,504 bachelors, and only 88,755 spinsters of twenty years of age or older; in Oregon the pro- portion is four unmarried men to one woman; in Washington the ratio is over five to one, and in Wyoming nearly ten to one while Arizona is about four to one-which is not far from correct.
 That these figures as rule are mis- leading there can be no question. One explanation, possibly, may be found in the inability of many ladies to speak with definiteness on the question of age-their memories often are at fault. But the true solution of the whole puzzle is to be found, with out doubt, in the explanation put forth by the Philadelphia Record. Says that paper:
 "That there is fallacy somewhere in this enumeration is self-evident; and it's source is easily found. The census office took no account of the fact that women, as rule, marry earlier in life than men, and erred egregiously in adopting the same age as starting point for both sexes. Boys of twenty who marry are few, while maids who are welded in their teens are many. The figures quoted simply go to show what needed no demonstration-that the unmarried boys of twenty or whereabouts outnum- Der the madens of corresponding age in this country by three millions or so. If twenty-five years had been fixed as the beginning of bachelor hood and all unmarried females of the age of nineteen or over had been counted spinsters the results of the enumeration would have been less as- tonishing, perhaps, but more in har- mony with actual conditions The young men of the country know bet ter than the census officers that every swain can find a maid and every Jack Jill. The census office yarn of bachelors and spinsters is merely another verifcation of the assertion that untruths may be divided into three classes-lies, d-- lies and statistics"

Recent Decision in Bear Valley Suit
 Explained.

A representative of the FactS called upon Receiver Spoor this morning and requested that he give in detail an explanation of the decision rem dered by Judge Ross on Monday in the Bear Valley litigation.
 In reply, Receiver Spoor submit ted to the Facts a copy of the letter which he had just received from his attorney, Hon. Wm. J. Hunsaker, of Los Angeles, referring to the decision. The letter reads as follows:
 Los Angeles, Cal, July 21, 1902. E. H. Spoor, Esq, Receiver, New Bear
 Valley Irrigation Co.,, Redlands,
 Cal.
 Dear Sir:-In the United States Circuit Court, Judge Ross this morn ing filed an opinion in the suit of Savings and Trust Company, of Cleve- land O., vs. Bear Valley Irrigation Company and others, sustaining our exceptions to the second amended answer, and our demurrer to the amended cross-bill of the Bear Valley Land and Water Company, without leave to further amend the answer or cross-bill. This puts the Bear Val ley Land and Water Company out of court, so far as this court is con- cerned. When the case has been finally heard, and the decree entered, the Bear Valley Land and Water Company can appeal from the final decree and thus review the action of Judge Ross in the premises.
 The foreclosure suit is now finally at issue, and after the summer vaca- tion, we will proceed to take testi- mony. Yours very truly,
 VIM. J. HUNSAKER.
 The Bear Valley Land and Water Company" above referred to, is repre- scented by John G. North of River side, and the case finally disposed of, as far as Judge Ross court is con- cerned, is what is known as the North case.
 John G. North of Riverside came into possession of the stock of the old Bear Valley Land and Water Com pany after the Bear Valley Land and Water Company has sold out all it's assets to the Bear Valley Irrigation Company. North, as the owner of the stock, set up the claim that the sale and transfer of the assets of the Bear Valley Land and Water Con- pany to the Bear Valley Irrigation Company was illegal and therefore null and void, the purpose of North's claim being to obtain for the Bear Valley Land and Water Company, which at present is North, all the assets transferred by the Bear Val ley Land and Water Company to the Bear Valley Irrigation Company, which is in effect the Bear Valley plant.
 The result of Judge Ross final decision in this matter as intimated in MT. Hunsaker's letter, eliminates the North case entirely and clears the atmosphere in the Bear Valley litigation very materially. y.-Redlands Facts.
 It is to be hoped that the final foreclosure proceedings of the holders of the Cleveland bonds will soon reach a decision so that this long drawn out case can be closed. If no appeal is then taken the end is reached. If an appeal is taken pos sibly few years hence the final end will be reached, and some one can then take hold of that property and utilize it for the good of Redlands and vicinity.
