one Of the most misleading and
misrepresenting articles that has ap-
peared in print recently is the "Ap-
probation Of Chris Evans" written
by Joaquin Miller, which was pub
lish last month by the Pacific Month
ly 10 Is the most sentimental and
silllest twaddle that has ever come
from the pen OF the Poet of the
Sierra" which is saying consider
able. The article is being copied
quite generally by the press through
out the state, and might be taken
seriously II not refuted in Evans
home town. The Times considers 4.
Ia duty to brand Mllier's story as
almost entirely false and misleading.
In another column OF this issue we
publish a short summary of the
crimes for which Evans was sent to
the penitentiary. prepared by pres
ent county oficial who had stated
the facts as they we're and are. Taken
away from the romantic setting In
which they we're placed by Miller,
they show Evans as he was--qulte
the opposite OF the tabled Robin
Hood.
We are aware that Evans still has
many friends In this vieinity-men
who could never believe him guilty
OF the crimes with which he was
charged before he became a bandit,
and who. after he began his outlaw
life, admired him for his pluck and
his ability 90 pull himself out OF
eight hole" All OF which is ac-
cording to human nature. However,
even Evans friends realize that he
was lucky in getting on with life
imprisonment, and will recognize the
justice In keeping him where he Is
AZ present. On the other hand, there
are a great majority OF his former
nelghbors here who will insist that
he be kept In Folsom. They do not.
as Miller says they do. "love and be-
lieve in him entirely" Their feel
ings toward him are quite the oppo-
site.
Chris Evans Is not the feeble and
heartbroken old man that he Is said
10 be He Is minus one eye and an
arm. but is otherwise strong and
hearty for a man OF his age. When
he left Vlsalla for Folsom he made
the boast that he would some day
get out OF prison and come back AMI
get" few local people who had
incurred his hatred during his bat
ties with the police officers. lie Is
still capable OF carrying out this
threat n released. for we do not be-
lieyo that thirteen years at Folsom

kept there. Visalia Times.

that the official bulletin of the Span
ish department of agriculture pub
fishes the following indications con-
cerning the prospects of the olive
crop in other countries:
Italy-There will be a good har-
vest in the south (Sicily. Calabria
and Pulla) and medium one in the
north (Tuscany and Genoa).
sAlgeria--There will be very good
harvests in Algeria, particularly al
oran and Constantine. The trees
are already full of fruit in good con-
dItion, and oil of fine quality may
be calculated upon.
France-on account of the ex-
treme drought there will be but a
scanty crop this year.
Crete-The harvest will be abund-
ant. The oil produced in this coun-
try is generally used for lubricating'
and there is but little comestib|e
oil
Moroceo-According to the scanty
Information obtsinable. a good har-
vest is to be expected. The oil OF
this county is principally used for in
dustrial purposes.
Corfu--A good harvest, but liable to
be exposed to accidents. Oils here
are mostly used for lubricating pur-
poses. Only one-fourth of the pro-
ductions Is suitable for human food.
Stocks of olive are at present In
significant. both In the countries
where they are produced and in the
principal centers of trade.
