HEARST rams IN CALIFORNIA.
Ais Independence Gag Candidate cut
ling No Figure.

SAN Francisco, Nov. According TO
the best estimates of the Republica ma
James y. Gillett will carry California next
Tuesday by 5000. while the Democrats
figure that Bells plurality will be 1900.
Langdon. who has been run by Hearts,
Independence League, cuts little figure
in the contest, and it is agreed Ivy both
regular parties that his vote will be small.
The Democrats are claiming maiorities
in many Republican counties because, they
say. Gillett is merely the creature of the
Southern Pacific Railroad m that popular
opposition to longer railroad domination
has caused an upheaval that will send
thousands OF votes to Bell.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
declare that Gillett il O very popular man
because of his good record in Congress and
his 81 raight cut talks during the campaign.
Chairman George Stone of the Republican

will have pluralities in twenty counties,

ago President Roosevelt received 10000
majority, yet Johnson was elected by nearly
5000, the remainder OF the Republican
State ticket winning by majorities near
10000. There is much dissatisfaction among
the Republicans and the vote on Governor
will lie close. No odds arc offered on
either candidate.

Fighting Mosquitoes.

Times Democrat.
The anti-mosquito fight is being
carried on just now not only in
the South. but in those sections
of the North as well where the
insect prevails. Perhaps the
most radical move made against
the stegomyia is in Lake Provi-
'dence, where not only the els
terms are required to be seemed
against it.. but those houses in
which cases of fever occurred last
summer.
In New Jersey it is simply a
question of comfort, but the pop
ular movement against the
troublesome insect shows more
life and vigor than it does in any
part Of the country. The com
mittee appointed by a recent
anti-mosguito convention has
adopted resolutions declaring
the mosquitoes a nuisance, q
menace to health, a factor ad-
versely affecting the value of
lands and q source of great an
noyance to laborers working out
of DOORS" The resolutions also
declare that the financial aid of
the State is necessary to effect
the adjustment of the breeding
places of the pest and the Cover
nor.and legislators are urged to
appropriate sufficient money
quickly and effectively to remove
the nuisance. The resolutions
and the report accompanying
them have been adopted by the
full committee The committee
reports that it investigated the
assertion of the New Jersey

State EntomolOgist. that all the
salt marsh mosquito breeding
places within the State can be
eliminated by drainage for $315-
$50 and is of the opinion that the
estimate is correct. Continuing.
the report says:
New Jersey contains 1914 square
miles Gland surface), or 1909, 21S
acres. On the assumption that the
mosquito may become a pest twenty
miles inland, we find that more than
one-third of the State, OR 1000, 600
acres, is affected by the mosquito
nuisance. 1t is worthy of note that
these 1000, COO acres are inhabited by
more than 80 per cent of the entire
population of the State. With the
nuisance elimated the value of these
1000, 900 acres would surely increase
to the amount of s. per acre, average.
Thus there would be an addition to
the value of lands in the State Of 3d.
600, OOO. With a tax rate of l per cen
this would add to the taxes payable in
the States 500, 600 every YEAR there
after. Dividing the whole cost of do

named would amou to II cents per

Louisiana Planter.
At this writing, some few
planters, more advanced with
their winter work, have COM
pleted planting their 1906 cane
crop, but the majority need from
one to two weeks yet of good
weather to wind up seeding
operations. Until a few days
ago no complaint was heard of
defective seed, but during the
week we have been informed
that here and there seed cane
condition has lately shown signs
of deterioration. These unfavOr-
able reports are distinctly in the
minority, however, we are glad
to say, for in the sugar belt, as a
whole. seed cane is quite as good
as ordinarily. Taken altogether.
there is no reason to expect any
material reduction in planting,

tanning it's standard for unusual
excellence established earlier in
the season, for allowance is

The weather during the past
several weeks has been very fair
in the parishes, fewer showers
falling than heretofore, and the
land got into fine shape for best
planting and cultivating results.

enjoy it to the utmost, but while
we are doing so we should not

Certain immunity from yellow

upon the success we have in get
