The commissioners of King county
last year bought a fine steam road
roller, paying therefor a good round
sum of the taxpayers money. The idea
of getting the road roller was splendid
and it was of course to be supposed
that it would be put into constant use
throughout the county. A subscriber
calls our attention to the fact that this
machine was shipped down to Au
burn last fall ON fiat car where it lay
out in the open exposed to the storms
all winter When spring came it was
again shipped back and put to work
on the stretch of road between the race
track and Seattle. Our correspondent
INDUCES in little satire when he says
he thinks they ought at least to have
run the roller over the road to and
from Auburn. The King county race
track is the greatest brace game prop
osition ever allowed to exist in the
state. The people who run it are
politicians with pull. Of course they
can get the use of the road roller to
fix up their roadway! But they don't
need it all the time. When they are
not using it wouldn't it be possible to
put it on the county highways in legi
innate roadwork?

The experiment station in eastern
Oregon has been placed in a very un.
fortunate position as the result OF
placing it's appropriation in the omni'
bus appropriation bill that was in the
legislature last winter. In times past
the station has used as its officials
saw fit whatever money it received
from the sale of products, etc., but
this year the legislature passed an act
requiring that whenever public prop
erty is sold at any state institution
the proceeds shall be turned into the
state treasury and deposited in the
general fund, from which all appro-
priations are made. In lieu OF the
revenue thus cut off, the legislature
increased the appropriation for the
station $4,000 a year. A referendum
petition was filed, and this prevented
the appropriation from taking effect, SO
that all revenue for the station has
been cut off, The station will probably
have to close for two years.

FROM THE PRODUCERS VIEWPOINT

The interests of producers are entirely ignored in the
opposition to hauling local market supplies through the
city on freight of the interurban electric lines The
interests of these producers intimately linked with
the interests of the people of Los Angeles however
and they are entitled to hearing in this matter.
AS remarked by the Anaheim Gazette speaking for
its own section, "Orange county berry and dairy
have keen interest in the petty warfare going
against Huntington inasmuch they making prop
osons to ship berries and milk to the city by the
load as soon as he gets his line into operation in this
county" AS to the merits of the issue raised in Los
Angeles concerning market feighage the Gazette
There are miles upon miles of berry in this
county and electric running within short
tance of afford convenient means of transpor-
taton. The city offers inviting market To ship by
ducers by freight and truck is OF the
question Berries and milk perishabe products IL
~ electric communication must be provided Now
are about to have these cars running by our doors 1T
themselves up to break down this industry
In Riverside the electric transport milk berries
and parcels of all kinds The press of that city declares
that 'this arrangement is marked convenience to all
concerned if anybody has objected to this freight traf
hc we have never heard of it,"
Redlands paper says "The trolley running past
the farmers door he will have his truck loaded in good
clean fresh condition and in short time it be un
loaded right at the very door Of the dealer still clean
and fresh Compare this with the dirt and dust and
jolting of the old way There is no comparison"
Many similar expressions from newspapers directly
representing the growers of market products might be
Introduced The foregoing sufficient, however, to
present the matter as seen from the producers view
point

A LONG LOOK BACKWARD

It was an interesting bit of "reminiscences in yester-
davis Herald that related by the papers first sub
scrber Hale and hearty on the edge of three score
years and ten old gentleman looks back to the Los
Angeles that he saw his arrival here ftyone years
ago He did not reach this city from the east after
pleasant journey of three four days in Pullman car
He came by way of what od-timers called Panama rail-
way and chagres fever From the isthmus he came to
Los Angeles in sailing vessel.
How interesting it would be If this old settler could
reproduce for the benefit of others the mental picture
he sees of Los Angeles in 1854 when he gazed at 1t the
first time He says os Angeles then was sleepy little
pueblo" The history of this section published three or
four years ago in The Herald in instaments that ap
peared in the Sunday edition, tells the story Of that
pueblo's appearance.
1t must seem like a dream to this old settler when
he takes a view of the present Los Angeles and COM
mares it with the one in which he first set foot more
than half century ago. When he to California
there was hardly foot of railway in the United States
west of the Mississippi river The Golden state was little
more than mining camp in its middle section, with
redhot nucleus at San Francisco Southern California
w-7 cattle and sheep range in sections and des
oation in most parts
It is different now But how different from the
present outlook it will be few years hence!

FROM SOCTETY'S NOTEBOOK
BY THE CHATTBRER

Mrs. Jared Lewis Of Hilo, Hawaii, is
spending few days in Los Angeles
Mrs. Lewis is famous in the islands
for her musical talents. AS pianist
singer and composer she won fore
most place in Baltimore and other
eastern cities before she left the United
States. Interest in coffee plantations
caused Mr.. Lewis to go to Honolulu
where he and Mrs. Lewis spent sew
eral years. Since 1899 they have lived
In Hilo, which is $50 miles away from
Honolulu. Frequent trips to New York
have enabled Mrs. Lewis to keep in
touch with musical matters and her
enthusiasm for her art has caused her
to devote n great deal Of time to the
music in the Episcopal church at Hilo.
AS organist and choir leader she has
accomplished results which have done
much to keep alive musical interest
in the far off island city.
This is my first visit to Southern
California" Mrs. Lewis said yester-
day, but 1 don't want to see palm
trees and ostrich farms. We have
tropical vegetation at home, you
know. OF course l am delighted with
Los Angeles, which is great city, and
the scenery in this part of the state is
surprise because 1t surpasses what
the advertisements say about 1t. But
before / go to the mountains or the
+ M fn n
organs and I am impatient to hear
some artist play the piano. The ell
mate in the islands is so damp that
we cannot keep our piano in tune. The
wires rust and we have all sorts of
difficulties. Are there many mus-
clans here? And do all the great art
lists come to Los Angeles? We are
cut off from operas and many other
things that mean progress and enjoy
ment to the music lover Honolulu is
fortunate in having the Hawaiian band
but Oahu is so far away from our
island that the band does not do us
much good. The long steamer trip
through the channels is so trying that
we do not make the two days journey
from Hilo to Honolulu often"
In addition to many songs and in
strumental works, Mrs. Lewis has
written the music for an opera, 1.-THE
Miser's MILL" which will be produced
next winter. She is now at work on a
second opera, the book of which is
founded on an Hawaiian legend.

WATER PROJECT KNOCKERS"

howl Of indignation from Inyo county was to be
expected when the Los Angeles water deal should be
disclosed Il to be expected also, that Knockers"
in Los Angeles of kind another would be heard
FROM No public transaction Of such magnitude the
in question could be consummated without protest
ing outcries from some quarter. There is nothing
prsng and certainly nothing alarming in the northern
kick" and in the local sympathetic indication.
The inhabitants Of Owens valley would have legit-
mate of complaint If the water deal really jeopar
died their interests the valley is very sparsey set
tied the land generally is not adapted to profitable ag
riculture and It yields the people only scant return
for their hard labor
Nevertheless, such Of the people in the valley as
have not given sale options their property, and
whose lands endangered by lack Of water, should
be cared for in the DEAL The Herald took de-
cided stand against the proposal to deprive the San
Fernando ranchers Of water by its diversion to the
citys and the case in respect to Owens valley
ranchers is similar in its general aspect.
Therefore, it Is the Judgment of The Herald that the
commissioners should make provision for allowing
sufficient water supply for the few inhabitants OF
Owens valley who have not given sale options Of their
property
With such provision there can be reasonable cause
for complaint on the part of citizens Of Inyo county.
Nearly all the land in the valley that is of agricultural
value is included in the options and the owners were
glad to sell at prices they thought were high Those
owners are we'll pleased with their bargain. The minor
class should be protected in their water interests and
the requirement is relatively small that 1t Will cut
no figure in the city's water supply.
The home knockers are a serious disturbing
element than those Of Inyo county For the sake OF in
dvdua interests they would jeopardize the future OF
Los Angeles by destroying the only chance for making
adequate water provision for the city to be. Another
and more dsreputabe class of knockers those who
having no direct interests at stake oppose the water
proposition on general principles of pure cussedness
There are not many of that class in the city, fortunately
as tho veow journal exponent of such principles
mands few followers.
The situation in respect to the water deal obviously
makes it desirable that the owens valley options be
taken up as quickly possible thus vesting in the city
the title to the watershed Once in proprietary posses
sion the further steps in the matter may be taken more
leisurely

Why was it necessary for the city council TO shift
its responsibilities in the library matter to certain
civic organizations which have power to conduct an
inquiry of that character to enforce their own find
ings? 1t to The Herald that too many oficials
have lodged and -ducked to avoid their duty The
mayor has done the ostrich act with conspicuous hid
ings of his head in the sand. 1t hoped and be-
ieyed that the city council would stand square-toed in
a manly way and take whatever consequences come of
performing public duty fearlessy by referring the
whole subject back to the library commissioners But it
looks though the library commission was the only
Official body concerned in this affair that has thus far
had the courage Of its convictions The whole business
is a mountain evolved from moehl and should have

Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-08

There is plenty of corroboratve testimony bearing
on the essential point that the law regulating the service
of intoxicants to in Los Angeles restaurants
hagranty violated. The Herald has no reason to
change opinion that the about the ex
tent of the violation exaggerated particularly in
regard to the extent of drunkenness the part wo
men, But stated before, "even with liberal allow
ance for overcoming, the report is astounding" No
such scenes have been described, even with large
discount for exaggeraon would be possible if the law
were enforced. And there be no excuse for its
non.enforcement.
