NJ. l.. Doll, travelling salesman for
one Of the eastern machinery com
panies, came in from Marble last
Tuesday evening and was a guest at
the Harvard hotel until Wednesday
evening when he proceeded east
ward.
Mr.. Doll was interviewed briefly
by Mail reporter Wednesday when
1t WAS learned that there is much
activity in that section of Gunnison
county, several hundred men being
engaged in taking out marble for
the big public building to be erected
in Cleveland. The contract award
ed the quarry owners near Marble
this time by the Ohio city will call
for something over half a million
dollars and is certainly of sufficient
size to warrant Colorado people in a
pride in this new industry.
"lou cant find a place to sleep in
the busy little camp at this time. -
saws Mr.. Doll, And it is extremely
difficult to get something to eat.
The people of Marble were not pre-
pared to handle the extra business
occasioned by the increased forces
in the quarries, and it looks to me
as though they didn't have the
slightest idea what the number of
extra men needed for contract of
that size.
II can tell you that Marble will
be a lively camp for the next seven
or eight months at least"

Members of the Grocers' trust
have always insisted that advertising
did them no good, because their
prices were absolutely fixed for
Colorado by the association and no
one could buy cheaper anywhere.
However, they are now getting some
free publicity, which may convince
them that a combination in restraint
of trade is illegal and that advertis-
ing has value. After all. Attorney
General Dickson seems to be actual

THE GRADUATES TRANSITION

Greater than an army with banners
is the army of American youth that is
Just starting out to fight the battle Of
life. 1t is an army equipped with edu-
cation, animated by laudable ambition
and inspired by hope. The last look
backward to the seat of learning has
been given, the books with their wealth
OF knowledge have been closed for the
last time Henceforth the stern reali-
ties of life are to be confronted, and up
on the mettle of each individual in the
host must depend the issue of victory
or defeat.
1t is a momentous period in life
time, this graduation time which marks
the end of scholastic education and at
the same time marks the beginning OF
the great struggle involving the natural
law of 1.-The survival of the fittest.'
But "in the bright lexicon of youth
there is no such word as fail,' especially
IN the lexicon of American youth.
In passing from the threshold OF
the school to the threshold of the wide
world, however, it is well for the gradu-
ate to bear in mind the fact that text
books contain only part and compare
lively small part of the knowledge
needful in the broad field of activity
that lies ahead. This is an important
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-01
uP no SAN PEDRO

1t is useless to discuss the merits of
a new method for linking San Pedro
and Los Angeles together without first
demonstrating that the majority of
San Pedro's citizens desire the connec-
tion. There is hardly doubt that the
substantial interests of the port city
are largely in favor of jointure with
Los Angeles. The political interests,
however, are adverse to the proposition
for reasons readily understood.
The plan for making San Pedro
legally eligible for union with Los An
geles, despite the setback by the legis-
lature, seems to be feasible. 1t hinges
upon the question whether San Pedro
is legally a city of the fifth or sixth
class. A sixth class city, being only
an urban fledgellng, may flock with an
other community without legislative
authority, but not so with a chartered
city of the fifth class.
That is the nub of the present issue.
So reliable an authority as the city
attorney of Los Angeles has expressed
the opinion that San Pedro was not
legally incorporated as city OF the
fifth class. for the reason that the
election indorsing the change was of
special character instead Of occurring
at a general election.
But before starting upon this new
tack for union of the two cities the
question should be fully determined, as
remarked before, whether p majority
of voters in the port ciI desire the
union 1t was rather Ldmiliating for
Los Angeles to be jilted'on the previous
occasion when it ofrered its hand 70
San Pedro, and no'risk should be taken
of repeated offense.
1t is up to the people of San PEDRO
to decide, by signature or other de-
cisive method, whether they now de-
sire to consummate the jointure with
Los Angeles. If the decision be affrm-
ative Los Angeles will be pleased to
assist in paving the way by the method
pointed out in the written opinion given
by City Attorney Hewitt to a commit
tee of San Pedro citizens.
Los Angeles is as earnest now as II
has been at any time in its desire Tor
union with the harbor city. But no
risk will be taken again of having the
advances of Los Angeles turned down
by order of the politicians who are
allowed to control San Pedro's official
affairs.
The substantial citizens of San Pedro
should settle the question by the sigma
lures of voters whether they desire TO
reopen the jointure issue. On the re-
sult of that test will depend the course
to be pursued in the matter by LOS
Angeles.

GREATER ORANGE PROFITS

Inventive genius will add immensely
to the profits of the orange industry
and the gain will be in evidence with
the marketing Of the next crop. There

that promise. The practicability of the
method underlying it has been fully
demonstrated to the satisfaction of all

| The promise is based on the invention
of a preceding device whereby oranges
in transit will be substantially imper-
vious to decay. The Santa Fe Railway
company is now constructing an extern
sive plant for this purpose at San Ber-
nardino and the Southern Pacific COM
pany is preparing to follow the ex-
ample.
The Santa Fe officials declare that
they will be able "to lay down fruit in
the eastern markets with from only
one to one and half per cent decay"
The process has been practically tested
not only in the pre-cooling of oranges,
but in transportation and sale in the
east. The percentage of loss from de-
cay always is the factor of greatest
anxiety to the grower and sometimes
it absorbs most of the expected profits,
particularly in the latter part of the
marketing season.
Another important element of saving
thus promised will be in the cost of
refrigeration. 1t is said that from 25
to 40 per cent will be saved in that
expense by the preceding system.
The plant now under construction at
San Bernardino will be duplicated at
other central points of shipment. The
cost of installing and operating the
system is comparatively so light that
no extra charge will be made by the
railway company for the preceding
service.
Although the Santa F'e company has
the start in the innovation, the South
ern Pacific company is moving in the
company being credited with saying:
"The installation of the plants will
work to the advantage of both the
growers and the road; it means a
great saving to the growers and we
will benefit by the increased business
which will result from the encourage
ment it will give for heavier ship
ments."
Truly, ITO him that hath shall be
given" Southern California orange
growers are now envied by all agricul-
turists elsewhere, but still larger golden
profits in exchange for their golden
fruit is promised them for future crops.
