railroad conditions In California at
Santa Barbara tomorrow morning. 1t
is intended to hold second sitting at
Ventura on Wednesday and to devote
Thursday. Friday and Saturday to the

1t is thought that the citrus growers
will take advantage of the opportunity
to make public their grievances in the
matter of alleged excessive freight
rates, excessive icing charges by a

parts in the hearing.
The merchants of San Bernardino will
appear with a complaint against the
Eastern freight rates to that town,
which are much higher than to terminal
points on the coast having water COM

Some say there is no friendship in business, and others say there is no business in friendship. At a recent dinner of the London Chamber of Commerce, M, Cambon, the French ambassador, bewailed the fact that, in spite of the warm friendship between France and Great Britain, trade be- tween the two countries was not in creasing. In the last five years. he said, the imports of England into France had increased only about Il per cent. or whereabouts. As to the inportations of France into England within the same period, they had not Increased, Although the motor car in dustry had grown, and they imported great number of vehicles into Eng land, the general total of their exports remained the same. It must therefore be concluded that trade in other prod ucts was on the decrease. It was af- firmed in England that, if British inn portations into France did not increase, 1t was on account of the existence of

w4NrEp, GOOD CooKs.

A London justice who was trying a man for the murder of his wife the other day remarked that if one anal yzed many of the unhappy causes which led to crime one would find the chief of them was inability to cook. The prisoner before him had come home to find his wife drunk, his chil- dren crying with hunger and his meal spoiled, and he had thrown something at his wife and killed her.
 Of course the justice didn't say that a man is justified in killing his wife because she can't cook or wont cook, and very likely he doesn't really think he is. But there is much that can just ly be said against the prevalent and growing disinclination of wives to know how to cook, or to cook. Many wives have got above cooking, or they think they have, but they haven't got above allowing themselves and their families to be injured by poor cooking. They have got above being slaves to pots and pans, but they haven't got above being slaves to pot and pan wall lopers. The situation is sad and omin- ous, and just now no adequate relief is in sight. But perhaps it will come, When Man is reduced to his proper place in the household he will be able to do good cooking If he wants to, and probably he will have to want to.

THE DOCS AND rHEIR FRIENDS.


 The faithful friends of faithful dogs in New Haven, and they are many, continue to feel about as sore as the dogs do over the muzzle order. They do not believe it is necessary to have their well kept dogs muzzled, They do not think it is even useful. They pointout that the tight and uncomfort- able muzzle is enough to upset a dogs nervous system and cause him to get mad or go mad. They say that the situation is the result of a senseless scare, and that 1t Is not improved by such a severe and sweeping order as has been made and is enforced. They believe that it is we'll enough to have the homeless CUTS looked after and niercifully prevented from becoming a danger or nuisance. But they do not believe that good dogs which are well owned are either a danger or a nui- sance without the distressing muzzles.
 The people who thus think know dogs well, and their opinions are en- titled to respect. In the present state of the public and the official mind perhaps such opinions will not have the weight they merit, but the scare will soon be over and then the dogs and their friends will feel relieved.

the French customs tariff. But he beg ged them to note that those tariffs ap- piled to the whole world, and that other Powers knew how to eircumyent them. The French, on their part, had allowed competition to spring up against their agricultural products and all those articles in which the in genuity and the taste of the French workman asserted themselves. AS his compatriots could not complain of a British customs tariff, they said that they were badly informed. and accus- cd their consuls of negligence. No government, however, had done more than the French to procure commercial facilities for it's subjects.
 The real truth is, added M. Cambon'
 that France and England are two old nations, and had got into the habit of
 waiting for customers instead of going to look for them. The Frenchman was notoriously a stay-at home; but one
 might say as much of the English mer- chant. If it was almost impossible to
 find in England representative of
 French commerce, it was rare to meet in France a representative of British
 trade. That was one of the chief req
 sons why mutual trading did not in
 crease.

who is doing contract work along the stream and has been looking for big cottonwood trunks to be used as pill ing in river contraction work.
 He found that the only large trees of
 this sort along either bank of the
 Missouri River, for fifty miles either
 way from Leavenworth, were in the
 Government reservation of 1000 acres
 on the Missouri bank of the river just opposite Fort Leavenworth.
 When the first settlements began to grow up along the river in Kansas and western Missouri the banks were nri- meval forests of willcw and sycamore and walnut, with many oaks, but,
 greatest of all, the giant cottonwood trees. Many of these old trees were
 more than 100 feet tall, with trunks that not infrequently measured i've and six feet in diameter.
 They seemed at once the boon and bugbear of the man who cleared his lot and put up his cabin; the one be- cause of the immense amount of labor it took to bring one to the ground and the other because of the fine, last l ing building lumber which each yield ed. Many of the first residences and business houses in Leavenworth were
 were constructed mainly of blanks and beams sawed from these great l cottonwood logs. In many of the old l houses the cottonwood lumber can be found to this day; thousands of feet
 fit have gone into the construction of the new Federal prison, but now the supply is practically exhausted.
 The Government got is part whicf went into the prison from its 1000 acre
 reservation, and it is in this patch oi wood that the only even partial i'm, l pression of what the big cottonwood forests once were can be obtained.
 Even in this stretch of the woods the larger trees have all been cut out, but
 theGoyernment wisely husbands It's timbers, allowing the younger trees
 growing room and keeping them se-
 cure from the vandal and the profes-
 slonal woodsman. From the Leaven-
 worth Times.
