The WAY 1t WOrke.

Prior to the establishment of Il protec
tive duty on tin plate the annual impor-
tation of the article into the United
States ranged in the vicinity'of 65OOOO,-
600 pounds. for which we paid over $20.-
UN.OOO Il year. When the Mckinley tar
if law took effect. Oct. l. 1880. there
was not Il tin plate factory in the United
States. and Democrats declared there
never would be. Ry 1892 the production
OF American tin amounted to over 49,
OOO.OOO pounds: by 1894 to 139.OOOON
pounds. by 1896 to 3O7. 100000 pounds.
hy 1899 to 79l,O0O,O00 pounds, since
when it has largely increased. Now, in
stead Of sending millions of dollars
abroad every year for tin we make the
tin and keep the money ut home. That
is the way protection works.

S. M. Douglas, Democratic
Nominee Was the Only
Man Who Failed to
Accept

The Prohibitionists held two con-
gressional conventions yesterday and
legally nominated candidates for con.
gress. Rev. Hiram Gould, of New.
berg, was nominated by an assembly
of 100 electors to fill the vacancy
caused by the illegal nomination of

fled. This completes the ticket, ex
cept in the case of S. NJ. Douglas

appears on the official ballot it will
be necessary for him to be renomi
naten by petition within the next IL
days.
1t is understood that the Prohibi
tionists intend to place M. Kelsay OF
the ticket, Mr.. Gould resigning in his
favor. as the central committee Is EN-

SOME DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.
Present Candidate for District Attor'
ney Was Elected Twice Before.


]. j. Whitney, Democratic candidate
for district attorney, and ex-represen'
tative from Linn county, is in the city
today looking after his fences. 1t is
recalled that he vas nominated in
1874, at the state convention held in
Albany. for that Office, as he o rec
o%llects, over a man from Salem by
name of Tilmon Ford, who had the
marion county delegation back of him
for that nomination, but afterwards
ran as an Independent. Napoleon b.
Humphrey was the Republican nomi-
nee. and Whitney thinks Ford ran in
dependent, but he may be mistaken
about this. Anyway, Whitney was
elected. and If Ford was not before
that time. he has ever since been q
Republican, and Whitney thinks that
made a Republican of Ford for the
rest of his life. Whitney served two
terms as prosecuting attorney, anC
was succeeded by Geo. II. Burnett
and in turn succeeded Burnett agar
in 1878, and then, as he recollects
Burnett was elected circuit judge
Whitney has not yet decided to accep
the nomination, and will canvass tn
situation with his friends, realizing
that the district is now strongly Re
publican, and that he has a prett
strong and popular man to ruI
against.

John COghlan, a LabOrer, Re-

on Car at Cliff House
THREE MEN TURN TRICK

John Coghlan, a labOrer living at 607
Third street. was robbed yesterday aft
ernoon of $500 by pickpockets. The
light fingered gentry, three in number,
made good their escape.
COghlan and his wife and children
went to the Cliff House yesterday to
spend the day. With him he had tied
in a leather pouch his entire savings
He thought the money would be safer
on his person than if left in the house
The laborer and his family took the
blue car line TO the beach. Starting to
return about 4 D. m, he made his way
through a large crowd waiting for seats
on the cars. Three men jOstled him, two
of them attracting his attention while
the third deftly went through his
pockets and filched the coveted coin.
Coghlan's wife saw the men acting sus-
piciously. When they were seated in
the car she asked her husband if the
money was safe He felt for the sack.
but it was gone.
With a cry he jumped from the car
and vainly endeavOred to catch sight
of the thieves. His noise attracted the
attention of the police at the beach.
who made a search for any known
characters in the pickpOcket line. but
did not make any arrests. COghlan
reported the theft to the captain of de-
tectives and Detective Thomas Gibson
was detailed on the case.
Coghlan feels his loss keenly. For
many years he has been saving his
small earnings to build a little home.
He never intrusted his money to the
banks, but always kept it in his home
and generally took it with him when
he went out. His wife gave the police
a good description of the men who she
believes robbed her husband and a gen
eral roundup of the pickpOckets known
TO be in town will be made with a view
to having the culprits identified by
1 their victim and his wife.

MAY PRODUCE MATING.
W. S. Green Discovers Swamp Grass
Adapted to Use in Industry.

General W. S. Green of Colusa is
probably on the eve of introducing into
California an industry of value. This
is nothing less than the production on a
commercial scale of a grass suitable
for the manufacture of carpet mating
and consequent development Of a great
mating manufacturing business
For several months the Sacramento
Valley Development Association, of
which General Green is president, has
been in communication with a firm of
mating manufacturers of Maine. The
purpose has been TO learn the nature
of rushes used in making mating and
whether or not they may be success
fully grown in the low lands of the Sac
ramento Valley. The facts developed
have warranted the belief that a mat
ting industry could be built up in this
State.
General Green has secured a large
sample Of a rush which he believed
would answer the desired purpose. This
was forwarded to the mating COM
pany by the association and a letter
just received in response offers splcn-
did encouragement to the Sacramento
Valley investigators.
The sample was sent to the Goodall
Mating Company of Kennebunk.

yer, manager of this company, states
that this is the finest looking grass he

PROBLEM FOR GROWERS.
Orange Producers Need Aid to Reduce
Percentage of Fruit Lost in Transit.
The adara Press finds that

Orange Producers Need Aid to Reduce
Percentage of Fruit Lost in Transit.
The Pasadena Press finds that
problem worth considering is before
the orange growers of the State and
says that something may be done TO
diminish the percentage of loss on
oranges on their way to the Eastern
market. In part the Press says:
The orange growers who read the reports Of
sales in the East cannot fail 10 note the
frequent recurrence OF items like this: Seven
to 10 per cent decay" or 10 70 20 per cent
decay; much fruit sold low because 1t ar
Now any fruit that reaches the market in a
decayed condition is than a dead loss

It reduces the average returns from car Of
fruit when on even 10 per cent of X We pay
out 81 so TO 81 80 per box and get absolutely
no return whatever. And If the decay runs
Is or 20 per cent that is Just so much worse
In part this decay in transit IS probably
due 70 slow service by the railroads and cl-
matte extremes through which the fruit passes
en- route But that explanation cannot be ac-
cepted as adequate TO fully cover the case.
There must in many instances be something
wrong with the fruit before il starts; and. II
is uD TO the growers and the Department OF
Agriculture TO find out what the trouble is.
Fruit grown in climate like ours, with an
air that is pure and dry and notably free from
germs, ought not 70 decay easily. We in
chned to think some Of the decay Is due to
careless handling in picking, hauling and pack
ing Too much emphasis cannot be placed on
the importance Of care in preventing the fruit
from being bruised or contaminated with dirt
that may contain the germs OF decay. Nothing
short OF the highest cleanliness and the most
careful handling should be allowed in the mar
keting OF a product so valuable ana so perish
able as the orange crop.
But a considerable per cent OF the decay
which the oranges suffer in transit may be
due 10 causes which we do not yet understand
Ard lust here we need the help of the Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture. We hope for important
results from the Investigations which are to b,
made under the direction of Mr.. Powell: and
the growers should cooperate fully with any
expert or experts he may send here, so that
this problem may be thoroughly studied. We
cannot afford TO lose any 10 per cent Of our
fruit in transit by decay, which may be due
ID preventable causes.

bureau which are contributing to-day
to the prosperity of American farmers
are new and improved varieties OF
wheat. oats, barley and other grains.
During the past few years the depart
ment has introduced macaroni wheats,
which by reason of adaptability to
semi-arid conditions, have added ap-
proximately a million acres TO the
wheat-producing area of the United
States and at the same time rendered
possible the upbuilding of a macaronl
manufacturing industry. Macaroni
is consumed extensively in this coun-
try, the importations in a single year
amounting to 100000 pounds.
THE WHEAT PROBLEM.
California is very much in need of
a good milling wheat that will retain
its properties here. The State Board
of Trade and the University of Cali
fornia are working together on this
problem, and, in view of its import
ance, and OF the very great resources
of the National Government, it seems
most fortunate that there is now To-
Gated in this State department farm,
the purpose of which is the solution of
just such problems.
Among the plants which have been
introduced from abroad is the alfalfa,
which comes to us from Turkestan and
is probably the most valuable plant in
California to-day. the one which prom
ises most to the future prosperity of
the State. The Washington navel
orange was introduced through the De-
partment Of Agriculture, as were many
of our most valuable fruits.
Among the introductions of the de-
partment which are now growing into
great industries are rice culture and
tea culture in the south. Rice has
proved a profitable crop in Louisiana
and Texas and the rice fields are con-
stantly growing in extent. Tea plan
| tations are also proving successful.
/ It is impossible even to mention any
! considerable portion of the many evil
/ dences of the value of this work. and
/ it is utterly impossible TO forecast what
! the future may bring forth. Explorers
! are working in many portions of the
| world and their efforts will undoubt-
edly result in vast benefits to agricul-
/ ture and horticulture in America. There
are valuable food and forage plants
without number which may be success
1 fully and proftably grown in this coun-
try and of which we know nothing.
! The introduction of plants which may
/ be profitably grown by American
! farmers means the addition of millions
to their wealth. California, by reason
/ Of her inviting conditions, varied to-
/ Biography and climate may be expected
/ TO reap the greatest benefit, even were
( the testing gardens located elsewhere
/ but with the gardens situated in e
/ favored district of this State our tillers
/ Of the soil viii certainly reap ever
! greater proportionate advantages. The
