A prominent New York capitalist now
visiting in Los Angeles Is interested in a
new steamship line which is to ply be-
tween San Pedro and San Francisco.
Yesterday he said in all probability the
rates of travel will be greatly reduced be-
tween the two cities. 1t is rumored that
one of the ships to comprise the new line
is now en- voyage round the horn and will
arrive In San Pedro shortly. 1t is said
that w. e. Pierce is interested in the
new line and will in all probability be the
general manager of the new company.
On the Santa Fe, between point called
Elmo and the new town Of Corcoran,
where the Pacific Sugar company has
spent over $1,000.0O0 in the erection of its
new plant there lies one of the Oldest
and largest ranches in the state of Cali
fornia. 1t is estimated that over 5000
acres of the richest agricultural land In
the San Joaquin valley is embraced by
this district. and by the provision of the
late owner in his will the trustees Of this
vast estate will place it on the market
very soon, with the provision, however
that only small allotments of land may
he purchased by one Individual, the OBJ
ject being to prevent monopoly Water
can readily be obtained in the San
Joaquin valley by boring from ten to
twenty feet, and 1t is said that artesian
wells are to be found where the soil has
heen pierced to a depth of fifty feet
The soil of the San Joaquin valley is
noted for its fertility.
Tuesday was expected to end the rush
Of colonists to Los Angeles, but on ac-
count OF the numerous requests by their
patrons the various railroad companies
granted at the last moment stopover priv
ileges on the low rate tickets, and as
result the heavy traffic will continue for
several days. Special trains, regular
trains, overdue trains and more trains are
arriving at Los Angeles when they are
due at Salt Lake, and vice versa. COLI
onigts are arriving burdened by heavy
overcoats, fur caps, and in some Instances
rolls of blankets. But the sun shines on
on everyone, in factor 1t did yesterday

DOWNRIGHT, 1907, by p. G. Eastment.

Autumn was dying in blaze of
crimson and gold. Everywhere color
fairly rioted, from the vivid blue Of the
cloudless arcl,ilg sky. against which
the green of scattered frs stood sharp
ly defined, down to the wind blown
leaves through which the old white
horse shuf1led his slow way. Squire
Godfrey, justice of the, peace for the
county and now out riding circuit, let
fall the reins while he gratefully i'll
hailed long breaths of the clear Octo-
Der air. The nuts must surely be
ripening.
From the woods on his left rang out
the merry voices of children, and In
voluntarily the squire smiled. In those
very woods forty years ago he and
Hetty had gone a-nutting Hetty, with
her dancing roguish brown eyes her
plain little calico frock and the deep
sunbonnet always hanging by one
string. How distinctly he could see
the little figure!
Then the shaggy gray eyebrows met
in a heavy frOWn over the Keen blue
eyes, What was Hetty to him but the
girl who had fouted and Knocked him,
driving him away from home for these
wretched ten years! Well, he had
come back and made a success of his
life, and the squire's frown smoothed
itself as he reflected on the prosperity
which was his. And Hetty had mar
ried Johnson Wetherby, who had died
not long after, leaving her with one
boy to educate and care for. She had
done it well, admitted the squire
grudgingly. But that young John
should have presumed to court his

scowl as he whipped up the old white
horse. He would have none of that
nonsense.
Luckily Susie was good girl. She
submitted quietly enough to the thun-
dering pronunciamento launched at
her head by the irate squire. She was
not to see Wetherby, not to write to
him, except the one letter conveying
her fathers decision.
"And you cannot marry him with

Humors of Sculpture,

"When architects insist on decorating
che facades of public buildings with
Bymbolical groups" remarked a New
York philosopher, 'they often add un-
consciously to the humor of everyday
life. Just look at those two cherubs
over the central window on top of the
hall Of records. for example. How can
any one with memory ever forget the
scandals of the construction of that
building in looking at these two fig
ures? One of them is plainly going
over the account books Of the cost,
while the other one is peering down
ward, as if he were trying to get a
glimpse of that imitation marble work
that has been put up on the walls of
the upper stories. And the best of it
is that such stories last Who ever
went to Washington for the first time
that he did not have to listen to that
yarn about the statue of Columbus or
Washington or some one else that
stands in front of the capitol, throwing
the ball up to the Goddess of Liberty on
the dome ?"-New York Press.

would not do that.

he would scarcely have felt safe leav-

Perhaps the squire overlooked the fact

was to be his first hating place the
man was surprised to see familiar

trim wooden shed. The tavern was a
quaint, homely building, white and

WOMEN INMATES OF JAIL
Dealt With TactfuIly, They Are Not
Particularly Unruiy.

Women in prison are often restless
and excitable, and their charge is far
from An easy one to those to whom
the duty is confided. New rules and
different treatment have brought about
great improvement in these re-
spects, and an infraction OF prison
disciples is now infinitely more rare
than it was 80 years ago.
1t is, to be sure, a recognized fact
that the women give more trouble
than the men, yet under a wise and
eftlcacious system they can be just as
easily disciplined. The means en-
ployed are of necessity different. but
the same general principles determine
the control of both sexes.
1t is fallacy to suppose that wom-
en- cannot be subjected to order and
discipline. On the contrary, they fall
into habits of cleanliness and neatness
much more rapidly than do the men,
and by tact and patience they can be
induced to conform to prodent and
wholesome regulations There are al
ways OF course, certain ''irreconcil-
ables," who rebel against control of
any kind. Much of the deliberate
misbehavior of such prisoners pro-
ceeds from the vanity and the desire
to win notoriety. Even in the motley
company that assemblies in . prison
yard they want to pose as '.heroines."

Butter Record.

st. Paul-From total production
OF 100000 pounds of butter in 1887
to an annual increase of about that
number of pounds in the past three
years is the record of the growth of the
creamery industry in the state of Min
nesota. While the figures for the year
ending July 81, 1907, have not been
compiled. the total undoubtedly will
reach 100,000,000 pounds, and possibly
exceed that number.
The annual report of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Edward K.
Slater, which has just come from the
printers hands, gives the details of the
production of butter by the creameries
of the state for 1904. In that year the
total production was 78,455,459 pounds.
In the next two years the increase was
about 100000 pounds a year and the
increase this year probably will exceed
that amount somewhat so that the total
production for the year will be about
1OO,OOO,OOO pounds This relates only
to the products of the creameries and
does not include the dairy butter, the
production of which has also increased
In late years, although the rapid in
crease in the number Of creameries
has put their production greatly ahead
Of that Of the dairies.

Chairman Of House Judiciary Conn.,
mittee Says Supreme Court Is
Final Arbiter Between Nation and

Chippewa Falls, Wis. Aug. Con
gresham Jenkins, chairman of the
house judiciary committee, Thursday
issued statement relative to the
North Carolina railroad rate imbroglio
He says there has not been an event
since the civil war that calls for such
severe condemnation as the "senseless
TRADE on behalf of states against the
nation"
Mr.. Jenkins adds that it is humil-
iating that the matter has been CON-
promised and that the nation has sur
rendered to an extent.
The civil war was the result Of
such agitation, and we may have an
other civil war earlier than we want"
he said. ITO avert such a calamity
and preserve the nation, we must
conform to the law, and have it en-.
provided in the constitution.
Supreme Court Final Judge.
Congressman Jenkins points out
that the supreme court of the United
States is made the final Judge be-
tween state and nation. He believes
the executives of states should keep
cool, maintain their dignity and re-
member they must depend upon the
judiciary of the country to save the
union.
Ever since the civil war; he said,
"other states have had similar trQu-
bles and did not make fools of them
selves or declare war. The questions
involved were decided by the supreme
court and no bad results followed. If
all the state authorities are to usurp
the functions Of the supreme court
and Judge what federal act shall be
nulli1ed no one can tell where it will
end
Mr.. Jenkins says he is opposed to
weakening the powers of both state
and nation and calls attention to the
fact that the state has a remedy in
the supreme court if the nation en-
croaches upon it's rights
May End in 6loodshed.

it's command to prevent such a con-
summatiOn?' he asks. This is an
unlawful attempt to oppose lawful ef-
forts. The continual talk about state
authorities resisting federal power
with armed force will end sooner or
later in bloodshed, and possibly in
the disruption of the union
In conclusion Mr.. Jenkins says the
supreme court OF the United States
may err and may differ with the views
of great majority of the people, but
that however that may be, the con-
stitution says it's decision is final and
must be regarded as the supreme law
of the land.
Better live under a wrong decision
than amidst that anarchy which must
