DAVIS CASE UP AGAIN
Bound Over to Grand Jury but Sam
Will Likely Escape Sentence
if he Does the Right
Thing.

Petite little Mona Anthony, the if
teen-year old waitress at Van Camps
boarding house, between Eighth and
Ninth on Main, states positively that
she will no longer stand the abuse and
insulting words nc )ed upon her
head by Theodore Sanford, the fifty
one year old orphan boy with the chin
wniskers. Stamford has been filling
the exalted position of dish washer
and it was regarding duties attached
to his position that is said to have
caused. the recent abusive words. AS
| a result of this conflict, which by the
way came to mar the /, .bbath of the
boarding house, Sanford is the de-
| PENDANT to an information filed in the
superior court.
Little Miss Anthony and the orphan
boy as he dubbed himself in court
during trial In which he was lead
ing figure some time ago, have botn
been employed at the boarding house.
/ 1t seems as If several disputes have
| taken place between the two of late
and the one Sunday resulted in a
breach which may prove interesting
before the trial is brought to a close.
The girl charges Sanford with abus-
ing her by using insulting language IN

COTTON IS KING.
(Long Beach Press)

(Long Beach Press)
 California papers are now full of the old Southern legend that cotton Is king This has come from the pos abilities of the Imperial Valley as a cotton growing district. Bales of I'm perial grown cotton are now stacked high in a show window in Los Ange- les. It is stated that this is of as fine quality of the product as can be found in the Southern States, and can be raised with equal advantage and will yield a greater average. An other cause for the recent publicity given to this new industry is that the first direct shipment of cotton by water to mills in California, has re- Is located the only cotton mill in the State. This consignment consisted of twelve tons of raw cotton from a Texas port and was brought across the isthmus via the Tehuantepec rail road and to Oakland by steamer of the American Hawaiian line. This mill has been in operation for several years. but it's shipments have been by railway and it has been placed at a disadvantage in the matter of freight rates. It has had to compete with the lower rates by water granted to the New England cotton mills. It now has been placed on an equal footing with these mills. With water carriage, it is possible to place the California mills in a position to con- mand the trade of the Pacific Coast, and also to work up an export trade, and if the cultivation of cotton in the Imperial Valley is successful, 1t gives Southern California the decided advantage, and will give her the con- trol of the cotton manufacturing in- dustry.

THE NEW COTTON STATE
Los Angeles Examiner.)

A1OS AHSSISS GAdnllHCi'J
 And now California is cotton State. The lands of the Imperial Val ley are producing cotton at the rate of a bale to the acre.
 There Is an infinite possibility in California as cotton State. With cheap cotton within it's own bound aries, cheap fuel, in the shape of oil, close at hand and cheap ocean freight at her doors, California ought to develop a great cotton manufactur- ing industry
 The Orient wants cotton goods by the millions of yards. New Egland and Southern cotton mills are slow in getting a foothold in the Orient because they do not know what the Oriental people want. They cannot or will not make the quality and style of goods the Orient demands.
 California understands the Orient better than any State in the Union China, Manchuria and Japan are Cali fornia's- nexdoOr neighbors. California mills. built and managed with a view Of supplying the vast Oriental de- mand, could and would manufacture the kind of cotton goods the people of the Orient want.
 The time is coming when Califor- nia will become great manufactur- ing State, capable of supplying the Orient with cotton sheetings and cloths. wooden goods. and clothing boots, shoes and leather goods, meats preserved friuts. oils and wines. They are are all native products. The raw material for all save cotton is here n abundance-and now California is producing cotton.
