REALLY one cannot have too many
cannon cloth skirts or waists. They
always look nice-and no material Is
more fashionable
WHAT'S THE USE of paying full price
for cannon cloth when it is offered so
much under price? See this Ice. grade

South Side Ditch.

In answer to inquiries from some
recent Subscribers regarding the
south side ditch prospects, we will
say that the Bent and Prowers
Irrigation District has been organic
cd since July, and that it comprises
about $4,000 acres of decided land
besides an immense acreage of gov
eminent lsud, which is being rapid
ly filed upon. The district has vot-
cd bond issue sufficient to con-
struct ditch and reservoir system
thst will irrigate all the available
land in the district, and as capitalists
from all parts of the country have
been sending in inquiries as to the
bond issue, there is every indication
that they will soon be adyantateous-
ly placed. Work will begin on the
enterprise as soon as the money is
secured. Parties wishing informa-
ton as to whether their lands will be
under the ditch, should write the Of
fioials Of the district.

. tacit agreement that the float rep

carried out this agreement the same

BELL IN THE SOUTH

Theodore A. Bell. the Democratic
nominee for governor Of California. is
still touring the southland in the midst
Of the most enthusiastic welcomes ever
extended a gubernatoTial candidate.
In every city and town his dignifed and
forceful addresses meet with hearty re-
sponse and II is now believed that his
election Is assured.
It is a significant sign of the arousal
of public sentiment to the necessity of
throwing or the yoke of the Southern
Pacific machine that prominent Repub-
licans, in appreciable number, are ex-
pressing their determination to vote for
Bell and the state Democratic ticket.
II this were not true, Mr. Bell would
have small hope of election, for the
Democracy must appeal to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the people of
all parties-must be able to convince
Republicans and Democrats alike that
the situation in this state demands
heroic treatment, along non-partisan
lines of action.
Evidence exists in all kinds of form
and shape that California is now
openly ruled and dominated by the most
shameless railroad ring that ever dis
graced the annals of a state and the
people are coming to understand it.
Good partisans are slow patriots. They
their choice can be literally stolen from
them and carried off bodily by perni-
cious rings and combinations. They
prefer to believe, for instance, that the
grand old party of Lincoln and Grant
is still "the grand old party of Lincoln
and Grant" But the evidence to the
contrary has now become so palpable
that they can no longer deceive them
selves and they are beginning to see
that California has reached point that
calls for the highest patriotism and the
exercise of the most unbiased judg-
ment.
The supremacy of the Southern Pa
cific machine must be torn down and
the people must do 1t. This cannot be
done by voting the ticket nominated
at santa Cruz, since tIlal tlckel was
named by the machine, under the whip
and spur-openly employed-of Harri-
man, Herrin. Parker and Abe Ruef.
The only hope of restoring free gov
ernment in this state is to defeat the
Southern Pacific machine ticket and
put in office men who are under no
to Interior and selfish cor
porate interests.
Mr.. Bell has made friends of all the
southland He has conducted himself
and the Democratic campaign con-
vincingly and from the reports already
received from all sections it is conn
ing to be manifest that he will be
elected governor of California along
with the whole state Democratic
ticket

A CLASS BY ITSELF

1t is folly to attempt estimates of
increased population in Los Angeles on
any basis applicable to other cities.
That conclusion by the federal census
bureau places Los Angeles in a city
class by itself. 1t is the only large
American city that is growing too
rapidly to admit Of even approximate
estimates of its population. So the
census computers give it up"
In computing the population Of cities
between census years the rule, as OK
plained by the bureau, is that "hhe
annual increase of population since the
last federal census is equal to one
tenth of the decennial increase between
the last two federal censuses." Now
note how that rule would work in its
application to Los Angeles. This city
had 102, 479 Inhabitants at the time OF
the last decennial census and 5O,395 ac-
cording to the cesus ten years before
The increase between 1890 and 1900 was
52OS4. One-tenth OF that increase is
52OS.
According to the rule Of estimating
increase in other cities Los Angeles
would have a credit of 52OS for It's
expansion in population last year. AS
matter Of fact the citys population
Increased nearly 10000 in the last fsca
year. which is about eight times the
figure allowed according to the genera
rule.
This phenomenal situation is recog'
nized by the census authorities I'm the
last bulletin, as follows: "In the case Of
Los Angeles, Cal, available Information
shows the increase in population much
greater than would be shown by The
application OF the rule set forth above

YOUTH is ACCUSED
OF R0BBING STORE

Detectives Steele and Mccain yester-
day afternoon arrested James Forney
aged 1S, on a charge of having robbed
the secondhand store of Morris Sofsky
$685. East First street. which was en-
tered by a burglar on the night of Sep
tember 20. The back door had been
broken open, and among the articles
taken We're one dozen secondhand
watches, some alarm clocks, purses, a
suit of clothes, two pairs of shoes. five
revolvers, some knives and several
cases of cheap jewelry. Forney has
made a confession to the burglary, and
has delivered large amount of the loot
to the police.

SAN PEDRO

Fairness to the people Of San Pedro
requires that "the sins of few be
not visited upon the many" The
statement of San Pedro citizen.
printed in yesterdays Herald. occa-
stoned some sharp criticism. much of
1t proper and right, and some of it
wholly unnecessary.
San Pedro contains business men and
professional men and citizens gener-
ally, as earnest, honest and patriotic
as exist anywhere. and they are malS-
ing of their city place so safe and
habltable and clean that good people
from everywhere are invited to make
1t their home. T
There is some immortality in eysry
city and town, and even in the country
districts. The fact that a great harbor
exists at San Pedro and that the city
has a certain amount of flotsam and
ietsam to deal with has rendered the
efforts of it's good citizens a little
more difficult than in some other
cities, but their success has been mar
velous and commendable.
The Herald believes that San Pedro
is as safe a place in which to live as
is any other coast city and it sees
every reason why the merchants and
business men should be congratulated
upon all they have accomplished on
behalf of their municipality.
We can understand how an honest
citizen, justly indignant at the acts
of few scamps may permit his in
dignation to get the better of his judg-
ment in expressing himself. But even
the indignant citizen in question knows
that there are some bad men in every
community and that fact rel.ders it
all the more essential that the good
men, who are ever in the majority,
shall be encouraged and upheld.
San Pedro is developing at a won
derful rate and is offering special in
ducemerAs just now to workers and
their families to go there and live.
They can rest assured that peace and
quiet reigns in San Pedro, and. that
no more immortality is to be encoun-
tered there than in any other city of
similar size.
