SANTA BARBARA GROWS.
On Basis of School Census Population

On Basis OF school census population
Is 10000.
A very satisfactory growth is figured
out for Santa Barbara by the Santa
Barbara Independent, which estimates
the present population to be more than
10000 The substance of the finding is
as follows:
School Census Marshal J. F. r Arrellanes
has filed with County Superintendent Edwards
his report the enumeration of the school
children Of Santa Barbara, and the document
makes a very creditable showing in the in
crease in the number OF children Of "school
age and in the number attending the pub
lie schools q
The total number of children between this
ages OF and II is reported as 2154 On the
customary basis of figuring I y to l to estimate
the population. this would indicate popu-
lation OF 1858 for Santa Barbara-a very salts
factory Increase over the population shown
by the Federal census of 1900. which gave the
city a population of 65S7. But with the small
army OF mechanics who have come here dur
ing the past year, leaving their children in
their former homes until they could get per-
manently established. and the acquisition Of
many wealthy families having no children of
school age II is palpable that the ratio in the
case OF this city should be at least TO l and
that Santa Barbara, therefore, has population
Of more than 10.T0O.
or the 2154 children of school age 46 are
foreign born The different races are repre-
sented follows:
White, 2132; negro 9; Indian 8; Mongo-
lians, 6; Filpinos, g.
There are 715 children under FIVE years of
age. all native born. and all white, except
three Monsoians.
OF the 2154 children 1856 are attending
school-1G54 being nin the public schools and
1872 in private schH pls, while 36S are not at
tending any SCHOOL,
The above indicates a decided improvement
in the condition Of the schools as far as at
tendance Is concerned, as the last report gave
the number of children in the public schools
at 1910, in private schools 172. Although the
DIS -ict was considerably smaller there were
454 reported not attending any school as

OPINIONS OF CITIZENS.
Henry Barkmeyer, who is well known

=
to all people in Fruitvale, said
We have the best climate around the bay.
We have a population ranging from 10000 TO
y 600 as we learn from the results OF the
school census. The tidal canal runs through
the entire length OF the town. At East Oak
land are the steel wire works and cotton mills.
The canal makes IL probable that manufactur-
ing enterprises will be located in Frutvale
Every person in Fruitvale believes in
its future. This is an important con-
sideration when the purpose of the
Board of Trade in advertising the ad-
vantsges of the town is considered. De
Los Pratt, who is credited with having
erected 100 buildings IN Fruitvale,
says there is no question that its growth
is assured and that II is steadily ad-
vancing. So says President Lorsbach
Of the Board of Trade. So, too, urges
H. A Pleitner. In fact, all the repre-
sentative citizens believe that greater
growth and prosperity than Fruitvale
has ever known will soon be seen. No
part Of the State is better situated TO
take advantage of all the prosperity
that comes or that can be invited by
com bined effort and persistent and
carefully planned work, nor is any To-
cation more pleasing as place Of resi-
dence.

also for alfalfa and other field crous. The

CANAL FOR HUMBOLDT.

Scheme of Value to Shipping Men in
Eureka Is Revived.
There is a prospect, so says the Hum
boldt Standard, that canal may be
constructed to lead the waters of the
Eel River into Humboldt Bay of suf-
ficient capacity to accommodate water
traffic between the Eel River section
and the bay. No definite action has
been taken. The Standard says that
this is the revival of a scheme that has
been talked of for years-to dig a canal
around the seaward base of Table Bluff
connecting the Eel River by means of
the sloughs with South Bay. 1t is ru-
mored that the Hammond interests are
back of the plan.

The people Of Fruitva1e naturally ex-
pect much good from the organization
OF this representative body. Lying
some miles from the bay Of San Fran
cisco and shielded by distance from
cold winds, Fruitvale has long been
famous for the mildness of it's climate
and for roses that grow within its bor-
ders. The last few years have given
* a water front on the tidal canal that
connects San Leandro Bay and Oak
land harbor.
With the charm Of fine climate and
with a rich soil adapted to flowers and
fruits as lures TO the people from the
outside TO make their homes in Fruit
vale-which is known all over the coast
for its handsome Fruitvale avenue
the town now has an expectation Of
