TO THE VOTERS OF Los ANGELES:

tect the rights of all of the people
Of Los Angeles, and am glad to
observe that business conditions
in our city have again become pros

interests are thriving.
My office door always has been
open to any citizen who desired to
meet me on the city's business or
to proffer advice, which have
been glad to receive from every
citizen who had it to give. When
critical questions have arisen !
have listened to suggestions from
all sides, but, in the final analysis,
have formed my own conclusion
and acted upon my own Judgment.
have been mayor of Los Angeles
In fact as we'll as in name. No one
has dictated to me or attempted to
dictate to me, or could do so.

pie of Los Angeles by being elected

AborieInes of klspiox Already Have
Burned Home of Missionary
and Stolen Household

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. S.-Fear-
ing that an organized attempt may be
made by the Indians of KispioX and
other nearby tribes to rescue eight of
their number who were taken prisoners
last Friday night, the police at Hazel
ton have erected barricades and other
temporary fortiflcations to assist in the
defense of the place.
Several trenches were dug today ana
guards posted. The people of Hazelton
fear for the safety of ranchers in the
country, who may be murdered in re-
venge for an attack by the police upon
the village of Kispiox last Friday.
Recently a missionary of the Church
of England was SO harassed by the In
dams that he was forced to make
preparations to depart. Before he could
move his house was set on fire, and
what was not burned was stolen by the
natives.
The Indians object to the coming Of
white settlers, who occupy land over
which they have roamed and hunted
The Indians do not have legal title to
this land, but assert ownership. Lately
their attitude has become to threaten
ing that the dominion government has
ordered the mounted police to take
stern measures. There has been no
bloodshed.

Boys no Lonpar Criminals

Crime other than murder in the first degree when committed by a child of less than sixteen years is no longer crime in the State of New York. IL ceased to be the other day, when the new Wilkin law went into effect. It is now officially termed juvenile delinquency"
 The new statute, which was drsughted by Judge Robert J, Wilkin, of the Chil- dren's Court in Brooklyn, provides. in a nutshell, that no child less than six teen years old can be declared a criminal, and in spite of conviction for the most serious offences while under that age can enter the adult period with clean record.

A HAPPY SOLUTION.

One of the great problems which confronts those who are interested in the introduction of the highest and most profitable type of agriculture among American farmers has to, do with making available for the tiller of the soil the results of the research work which is being carried on by state and federal agricultural stations and departments. This may be accom- plished in part by the publication of bulletins, by the running of demonstra- tion trains, by introducing the study of agriculture into the public schools, but with all of these only a partial use is made of the great fund of in formation referred to- The province of Ontario has evolved a plan which is doing much to accomplish this good work, one that should be adopted in other portions of America-namely, through the organization of what is known as the Ontario Agricultural Experimental union among the farm CTS of the territory. Last season this union had APO members, on the farm of each one of which experimental work was carried on under the direc- tion of the government station officials. The chief merit of this plan would seem to lie in the fact that under it farmers put into actual practice on their own farm the improved methods which have been worked out by the specialists, and by so doing are not only benefited personally, but by car rying on a miniature experiment sta tfon in their respective neighborhoods give an object lesson in a better type of farming the value of which can hardly be estimated. Such practical local demonstration is infinitely supe- rior to the most Illuminating exposi- tion of the results of like experiments at the college. Such a plan would seem to be entirely feasible for any state agricultural college to carry out and should be looked into thoroughly

GOOD ROAD WORK

An enterprising road supervisor we read of the other day is using the tele- phone as an aid in securing good roads. After a heavy rain he calls up the farmers in his district who have the dragging of the roads in hand and specifies just what stretches of the highway they shall go over. They get on to the roads before there is much traffic, and the result is that the road district is acquiring a reputation which reflects a good deal of credit upon the intelligence of the supervisor and the energy and good sense of it's residents.

THE STORY OF THE WEALTHY.

The Wealthy apple, which is one of the finest of the fall varieties both in color, texture and flavor, has an in teresting history. It is said that in the year 1853 Peter Gideon, at that time a nesota, settling in the vicinity of Lake Minnetonka. He had been in- terested in horticulture and his first experiments along this line consisted in planting some thirty varieties of apple trees together with a few pear, plum and cherry trees, as we'll as a considerable quantity of apple seeds and peach pits. By 1863, in spite of good care, the severe winters had killed all of his fruit trees but one seeding crab. With the labor of years gone for nothing, MT. Gideon found himself with a large family, a COW, a few chickens and only $S with which to finance affairs, and that in the face of hard winter. This money that by good right should have been spent to replace the tattered rags which GOV cred his body he sent to Bangor Me, for seeds and scions of apples. The old suit which he patched up to last over winter and the sacrifice he made at the time were not in vain, for 1t was from this purchase of Maine seeds that the Wealthy apple came, the growing of which in the interven- ing years has meant millions of dol lars to horticulturists over the coun- try. The apple was named from MT. Gideon's wife, whose maiden name was Wealthy Hall. While it is be- lieved by many that this splendid apple was a cross between some con- mon apple and the cherry crab, 1t is thought by others to have been a chance seeding of unknown parent age.< MT. Gideon did no scientific work, yet he can only be viewed as a benefactor of mankind. The prize of $1,000 offered by the Minnesota Horti- cultural society for a winter apple which is as hardy, as beautiful in ex- ternm appearance and as full of juice and fine of flavor as is the Wealthy for its season is still unclaimed. Horti- culturists of a scientific turn of mind have here not only a chance to win a substantial financial reward but the everlasting gratitude of their own and succeeding generations.

Some of the most entertaining and Illuminating reading which agricul- tural papers have contained of late has been the very spirited gabfest of charges and counter charges which has been going on between the cream separator fellows.

It is expensive business-this feed ing thirty-five cent butterfat to calves when some grain ration with the skim milk will answer the same purpose, and it is right here where the repu- table hand separator comes in with it's perfectly clean skimming. The use of it also means that less storage cans will be required and that the milk can be given to the calves warm and sweet instead of, so often, warm and sour.

Some one has found the following to be an excellent method for poison ing cutworms: Stir one pound of paris green thoroughly in ten gallons of water; soak punches of clover or al- falfa in the solution during the day and in the evening scatter between rows of vegetables in the garden on clean cultivated places. The cutworms will swarm to these punches and get fixed during the night. This method is especially effective if the grass and weeds on which they usually feed are not allowed to grow.

Experiments which have been con ducted by several experiment stations show that the value of fresh manure per ton as shown in increased crop yields is about $2.25. When it has leeched two or three months it loses one-thind of it's value, or 75 cents. These figures should contain a very direct suggestion to the thoughtful farmer as to the best way to handle his farm fertilizers.

The controversy between Secretary Wilson of the department of agricul- ture and Speculator Patten as to who was responsible for the high prices of May wheat, an actual crop shortage as claimed by Patten, or an artificial and temporary corhering of the supply in sight by Patten, as claimed by Mir. Wilson, does not seem to have been settled to the satisfaction of the large body of consumers who are now pay ing excessive prices for their flour. If the crop reporting department over estimated the 1908 crop 5OOOO,0OO bushels this should be looked into, and if Patten was able to boost prices and thus levy a tax on the poor mans loaf when there was not a wheat shortage spectators of his type should be sup pressed. The eaters of bread would like to have the colored man located.

The residents of Zoar, O., have de- cided on a novel method of supply ing the people of the community with cider next fall. A 100 barrel cement cistern, built years ago by the Zoar Communistic society, is to be cleaned out and when apples are ripe will be filled with fresh cider. A pump is to be installed, and any one who has the will to work the handle may have a swig. If this fact is generally adver- tised it is safe to assume that the thirsty tourists from the four winds of heaven will light down on Zoar next October "when the frost is on the punkin'.''

Very rarely does titled soil have an excess of humus or decayed vegetable matter which gives looseness and some fertility to the soil and makes it work nicely. It is for this reason that the small grain stubble should, as a rule, be plowed under and not burned, as some are in the habit of doing. This may save some work, but it is really {, handicap to the soil.
