Truth concerning califOrnia.

So much has been said recently con-
corning the immigration and tourist
travel to California. that A J. Pcston.
who has charge In Washington OF the
sunset excursions, today made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the Golden
State.
California has long been synonym
Of gold. sunshine. fruit and flowers. but
II IS only within the last three or four
years that people have begun to appre-
ciate the fact that she IS indeed a big
reality. and not some mythical fairy
land from whence come tales of won
drous wealth and lndescribable beauty;
but a real country, a state OF our Union
with resources SO vast. and natural ad-
vantages so great as to earn for those
who have in measure endeavored 70
describe them. the universal and unde-
served name Of California liar.
Just imagine yourself trying TO de-
scribe the beauty OF our Congressional
Library 10 some backwOOdsman. who has
never seen anything more artistic than
a log cabin. and you will realize. in a
measure. the task OF the much-abused
California liar. when he endeavors tc
explain to you the wonders OF the Golden
State.
when he says to you Of the East
who are proud of your forests. that the
trees OF his State have limbs bigger
than the trunk Of your largest oak
you feel sorry fer him. When h- tells
YOU who toll six months for one scanty
harvest, that CALIFORNIA; harvest lasts

It as an attempt 10 discredit your in
tenigence; and when he grows enthusi-
astic over other wonders OF her prOduc-
ton. you simply shake your head and

the ownership OF two sets OF photo

May Rests. Tax.

1t is probable that the Yazoo g.
Mississippi Valley, the Gulf & Ship
Island and the Canton, Aberdeen &
Nashville roads will resist the col
lection of the special privilege tax
levied on all roads which claim an
exemption. These are the only three
roads in the State which claim an
exemption. This law was passed
by the last legislature and the roads
took the case TO the courts. 1t was
decided against them by Judge
Powell some time ago, and the case
was appealed to the State Supreme
Court, where it is now waiting its
turn. Until the case is decided by
that tribunal it is probable that the
roads will refuse to pay this tax next
year. On the assessment blanks
sent to the collectors of the eoun-
ties through which these roads run
there is a column in the assessment
blank for this tax.

Replies Are Coming In.

The State superintendent of edu-
cation is hearing from the county
superintendents in regard 10 the ex-
tension of school terms in the yari-
Gus counties. Recently he sent them
a circular asking for information in
regard to the schools of the county
and how long they had been extend
ed. He is receiving replies right
along now and he expects to be able
in short time to give out table
showing the extensions that have
been made in each county. This
table will be a surprise to the people
of the State and will demonstrate to
what an extent the people of Missis-
sippi are interesting themselves in
education.

Electric Plant Sold.

The Aberdeen electric light plant
and franchises have been sold and
transferred by J. +. Enderlin to
Messrs. E. NJ. and J. X. Jones, re-
Gently Of Corinth. The lights have
heretofore consisted of forty-fye arc
street lamps and about 900 incandes-
cents. These will probably be in
creased, and the entire system is to
be oyerhauled and repaired. Messrs.
Jones are stockholders in the new
clothing factory at Aberdeen, and
the electro light deal is one of the
results arising from its establish
ment. An unusual demand for
dwellings is another noticeable re-
suit.

No Sincerity.

Mississippi Republicans, Or large
majority of them at least, can see
no sincerity in Mr.. Roosevelt. His
much yaunted friendship for the
brother in black is i'll violent con-
trast to the patronage policy, and
the men who are party leaders for
revenue only, aided and abetted by
those for whom they think by con-
tract, and the vast body of disgrun-
tied office seekers, would take keen
delight in seeing Terrible Teddy
hoisted by his own petard, as it were,
which in substance means that they
want the props completely knocked
from under him in the convention
next year.

sale Of State Lands.

Land Commissioner Nall makes a
report for the fiscal year ending Oc-
tober l, showing a total of $751;
647.39 collected and paid into the
State treasury during the year. This
is an admirable showing. The re-
ceipts which 60 to make up this
amount come from various sources,
including land sales and fees. These
figures do not quite come up to the
receipts of the two previous years,
but then it should be considered that
the State lands are gradually becom-
ing exhausted and the sales are
growing less every year.

RATES FOR WORLDS FAIR
Cheap Fares viii, Railroad Men Say,
Depend Upon Coalitions.
Passengers Agents Demand Protec-
tion Against scnipers' Trafhc
In Excursion Tickets.

st. Louis, Oct S.--lmportant among
the subjects considered by the passen-
ger officials of the ST. Louis lines at
their meeting, which has just closed.
was that of protecting Worlds fair
excursion tickets from the operations
OF "scalpers. The attendance at the
fair will admittedly be largely infln-
enced by the final adjustment of this
matter, since the railroads insist that
they can not make low rates unless
they are given proper protection.
With such protection a half-rate or
one even lower is expected
At the meeting of the passenger
agents A committee was appointed TO
devise means OF protection and re-
port October 25. The committee Ia
composed of l.. w. Wakely, general
passenger and ticket agent of the Bur-
llngton: c. s. Crane. general passen-
ger and ticket agent of the Wabash,
and A. II. Hanson. general passenger
agent of the Illinois Central.
The chief problem Is to find a means
of preventing the manipulation by
"scalpers" of the return coupons of
low-rate excursion tickets, such ma
nipulation, 1t is said inflieting heavy
loss on the railroads every year. The
loss would be particularly heavy. 1t
is said. during the Worlds fair. with
low rates in force from all points.
Passenger officials say the manipula-
tion of these return coupons amounts
TO forgery. In their efforts to stop IL
they began prosecutions under the
laws of Missouri for forgery. The cases
they made were thrown out OF the
courts ON the ground that the Missouri
statute covering the crime of forgery
did not specify forgery of railroad
transportation as an offense, whereas
is mentions forgery of checks, bonds
and such papers.
