1t seems as if the rejoicing over the
fall in the price of beef might be pre-
mature, at least in California. There
may be, and probably is, cheaper beef
in the middle west, but California is
passing through a transition stage
that for the present seems more likely
to raise than to lower the price of
meat. The elimination of the big stock
ranges has reached stage where the
home production of beef on the old
plan has become commercially un-
profitable. That is to say, the owners
of the best ranges find they can do
much better by dividing them into
tracts for fruit-growing or other agri-
cultural purposes. By consequence
we find that the McHenry Meat COM
pany, the most extensive slaughterers
in the San Joaquin valley, has an
nounced an advance of IL cents a
pound in the price of meat simulta-

Here Is a great state united for ohe
object. That alone, to say nothing OF
the argument offered, has it's effect.
All petty jealousies and rivalries are
forgotten while this fight Is on. Los
Angeles has entirely lost sight OF its
determination to wrest from San Fran
cisco the honor of being the state me-
tropolis while San Francisco is strug-
Cling with New Orleans for this great
prize.
Here is wholesome example Tor
other states to follow. In older states,
where country communities are ar
rayed against the large city or cities,
the example might be taken home. In
states where 1t is anything to down the
metropolis the California spirit should
be emulated. Does anyone imagine
that the benefits aecruing from this
exposition, II 1t goes to the Golden
Gate, can possibly be confined to San
Francisco? Does anyone presume that
they will not overflow into every por-
ton of the state? And just so the
benefits or advantages that come to the
metropolis of any state like those of
the middle west or far west-they are
bound to be felt in some proportion all
over the state. What helps the city
cannot but help the town or country,
and vice versa. 1t is sheerest folly,
the most shortsighted policy, for people
to imagine otherwise. 1t is not worth
while to stop and try to weigh the
relative good that comes to the city
from the country. Intelligent people
know that their prosperity is mutual,
that the way to build up one is to
build up the other.

value of the output of all the mines is
not equal to that of the states poultry

Some idea of the extent and the pos

neously with the cut made in Chi
cago. The conditions that affect the
interior valley market are likely to
prevail in other parts of California.
1t is not likely that meat will ever
again touch the level of former prices
in California. The pastoral age has
passed never to return. We are pro-
ducing more profitable commodities,
and every day we are working in the
direction of intensive agriculture.
This Is a tendency that must increase
constantly under the application of
irrigation methods, on which the fu-
ture of this region may be said to
depend Something, of course, will be
done in the way of cattle feeding on
alfalfa, but although the product will
be much higher in quality than range
beef it will be expensive in like pro-
portion.
The most effective cure for the high
cost of living is to produce commod-
tiles that bring the highest prices.
We believe California is able to meet
the conditions of that contract.

Personality Versus Politics

name OF the person thought to be best fitted for the office. Take tn
case OF Taker l.. Oddie, for instance. Time and time again IN voting
precincts of Tonopah and elsewhere oe the state, a Democratic ballot
would be read as it would register a vote for Oddie. Then take Gilbert

WOMAN DRESSED IN BLACK
APPEARS IN ALTORRE CASE
Attorneys for Convicted Man viii
Probably Appeal

A mysterious woman, attired in
black, entered the United States dis
trict court room yesterday where
Judge Wellborn was in readiness to
pass sentence on Orlando Altorre, the
former postal clerk found guilty Sat
urday on a charge of perjury. The
woman handed Altorre book and
then approached each person in the
room except Judge Wellborn and for
several seconds there was a deluge OF
religious tracts. The black-garbed
woman handed several tracts to each
man and then departed.
Altorre hurriedly glanced through
his pamphlet and after again resuming
his conversation with his attorneys,
informed the officials that he would
not receive sentence at that time.
Monday afternoon the defendant noti-
fed the United States marshal that ne
would be in readiness on the Following
morning to take his medicine"
Upon going TO the county jail 1or
Altorre yesterday morning, Deputy
United States Marshal Durlin informed
the prisoner that he would have to
place handouts on him. Mrs. Altorre
was in the Jail office at the time and
grew quite excited when she saw the
"bracelets'' on her sons wrists. She
protested against Altorre being hand
cuffed, but quieted down when re-
ouested to by Altorre. 1t is likely that
his attorneys will enter an appeal

CHAIRMAN NELLIS WANTS
THE REQUISITI0NS READ
Found Highway Commission Buys
Cheaper Than Supervisors

At yesterdays session of the super
visors Chairman Nellis placed in effect
the order made by him last week that
all acquisitions for supplies from the
highway commission must be read on
being brought before the board. Yes
terday Supervisor Eldridge had passed
on the highway acquisitions in the reg
ular manner and said:
IT have here thirty-five acquisitions
from the commission, and l move that
they be approved"
Before any of the other members had
time to second Supervisor Eldridge's s
motion that they be approved, Chair
man Nellis ordered the clerk to read
them. The reading of the various items
proved monotonous, and when the clerk
was nearly finished Supervisor Eldridge
again moved that they be approved
without further reading. No second
came to his motion, and Clerk McPher-
ron continued.
When the bill for groceries was read
one of the supervisors requested to
know why 1t would not be a good idea
to have the board purchase groceries
for the commission. z. b. Spears, the
requisition clerk, then informed the
board that the highway commission
buys groceries direct from wholesale
houses and obtains provisions at a low
er rate than the board.

WITNESSES TELL OF
MOORE'S DEATH
Accuse Defendant Hardy in Story
of Shooting of TamaIe
Seller
TRAGEDY FOLLOWED QUARREL
Alleged Murderer Threatened to
Kill Them, So They Fled,
Is Testimony

Eyewitnesses to the killing of Will
liam Moore, a tamale seller, on Decem-
ber 8, 1909, by Hal e. Hardy, who is
being tried for murder in Judge Will
lis court, testified as to the shooting
while on the stand yesterday.
The examination of Orin Ebinger and
Tom Devin consumed the greater part
of the day. They were closely ques-
toned as to what they heard and saw
during the few minutes before and af-
ter the shooting,
Ebinger said he and Devin were Sit
ting at the lunch counter of Moore s
wagon and that he had been served
with a tamale. He said Hardy came
along and bumped into Devin and NUT
tered something about giving him a
chance to get something to eat. Hardy
asked Moore for a tamale and the
latter said that he had no more. Eb-
niger told Moore that Devin was not
eating and then Moore said he had
one more tamale left and gave 1t to
Devin.
This made Hardy angry, said Ebin-
ger and he had few words with
Moore. Finally Hardy left and re-
turning in about five minutes de-
manded of Moore q bill of fare. Moore
then repeated that he was sold out
and had nothing left. He wanted tc
close up and go home, according to
Ebinger. Hardy then cursed him and
Moore cursed back and ran around
the wagon to drive Hardy away.
I'VE saw the flash of a pistol and
heard the report" said Ebinger. Then
Moore ran to US with his hand on
his chest. He shot me in the chest,
he said with groan. Go and get him,
boys
Hardy then began to call us all bad
names, as Moore fell to the sidewalk.
He said he would kill the whole ID
bunch Devin turned to me and said:
He's hogwild. Let's beat it. Then
we ran. Hardy kept backing up the
street facing US, with the pistol In his
hand and we did not stop"
Did you run very fast?" asked Dep
uty District Attorney Ford.
Eyes, and then some," interrupted
Ebinger fervently, as a laugh was si-
fenced by the bailiff.
Attorneys for the defendant, who
are seeking to show that Hardy COM
mitted the act while insane from the
long continued use of intoxicants,
seized on the "hogwild" expression as
an Illustration to show that Hardy
was crazed when he did the shooting.
The trial of the case will probably
require the remainder of the week.

SNAKE POOLE WANTS TO
PLEAD GUILTY TO SMUGGLING
Prisoner Will Be Brought from
Prison at LeavenWorth

Snake Poole, now serving a two-year
sentence in the federal prison at Leav-
enworth, Kas., for having participated
in the smuggling of Chinese into this
country from Mexico, has written to
the United States attorney in this city
requesting that he be allowed to be
brought to Los Angeles and plead
guilty to a charge of smuggling opium
into the United States. The prisoner
wishes to have sentence passed on him
now, so that he can serve both terms
concurrently. His request will be
granted.
Snake was arrested at Cotton last
January, and the officers found opium
valued at $25,000 in his possession. He
was brought to this city and turned
over to an officer from Ell Paso, Tex,
who held warrant for his arrest on a
charge of smuggling Cinnamon from
Mexico. The opium case is still pend
ing against him, and hearing of this,
Snake is desirous of taking his medi-
cine.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Horton and Stewart will handle Snake $
case for the government.
