OTHER TOWNS JOINING
IN PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN

For several months FL Centre has
been carrying alone the expense Of the
publicity bureau. Which has accom-
plished a great deal in the way Of ad-
vertising the valley. Displays OF cot
ton made in mercantile houses in Los

and they have been arranged for equal
benefit of the entire valley.
Considering the mutual benefit to all
parts of the valley of this work, Seeley
DiXieland, Holtvillc and CaIexico have
in the last few days been enlisted to

GRAPES KEPT IN SAWDUST
GIVE EXCELLENT SATISFACTION

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-GOvcrnmcni
Expert Mann. who has been in charge
of the experiments in The packing Of
California Emperor grapes in redwood
saWduSt. has Just completed a tour of
the eastern market and is gralificd over
the fine showing made by The three
principal grape packers who are using
redwood packing.
Sales in Buffalo this week ranged
$500 to 1885 a drum of 80 pounds.
The low price at which number Of
shipments packed i'll cork dust We're
marketed early in the season had a
tendency to hurt the sales of Emperors
packed in redwood sawdust. Redwood
shippers, however. had their fruit held
in storage until the market was cleaned
up and the fruit could be offered on its
merits.
Except "A few packages which We're
not properly graded, practically every
thing has brought satisfactory and en-
couraging prices. The fruit has kept
well, and those who were inclined to
be Skeptical last season are now con-
vinced that redwood sawdust packing
has come to stay. While present ship
menlS are being made in a commercial
way by the three leading packers. gov
crnmcnt inspectors are keeping tab on
every package. making complete rec
ords for the future benefit of the in
dustry.
As rapidly as the grapes are gath
cred they are rushed to the packina
house. and after grading are packed
in the dried redwood sawduSt and
placed in cold storage. The pack
ages are then transferred to refriger-
ator cars and on arrival in the east
ern markets Immediately go into cold
storage until the time of sale. In this
way the fruit can be kept from expos
ure to changeable temperatures. and
il is to this method of handling that
Mann ascribeS much Of the success of
The present experiments.
The results 50 far have convinced
both shippers ana receivers that the
redwood saWdUSt is proving a better
packing than The cork dust.

Towns that are doubling in popula-
tion in five or ten years find difficulty
in maintaining schools up to the re
duirements. Then what is city to
do that doubles its population III about
a year and a half?
1t is certain the city must provide
new buildings before the next school
year opens. and to do SO, action should
be taken at once. But the school board
does not know Just what action to take.
and is studying over the proposition.
In one sense this problem in itself
iS highly gratifying. Nothing could
illustrate better the wonderful strides
the town is making cityward. 1t looks
as though the world had discovered FL

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-EX-President
Roosevelt made trip to the east side

dilions among the girl kimona and
wrapper makers new on strike are as
bad as he had been told. He spent
nearly two hours among the girl Strlh-
erS. asking questions, giving advice and
collecting names and facts To be used
in legislative inquiry which he hopes
10 bring about.
The girls had not been told thai
the colonel was coming. but they rec
ogniZed him as he hustled into the
new Henry street hall and gave him a
greeting. There We're several strikers
assembled there. mostly Spanish. Greek
and Turkish girls, who know no Eng
lish.
Roosevelt questioned them through
an Interpreter. but that was slow work,
50 he tried French. and finding many
of the girls partially understood his
French he tried to carry on his qucS-
tiOning in that tongue. He sat on a
table, around which the girls gathered
eagerly to tell their stories. Most of
the girls We're under II years old.
After listening to more stories Of i2-
hour working days, and the weariness
that came to l6-year-old girls who
ran foot machines, Mr. Roosevelt eX-
claimed:
'They are crushing out The lives of
future mothers"
He said other things that his com

REQUIRES SKILL TO
BUILD LIGHTHOUSE

WASHINGTON. June 1O.-Among
the lighthouses OF the country may
be found examples of great engineer
ing skill aud of dignided and simple
design.
Various materials have been en-
ployed in lighthouse construction
stone, brick. iron, steel. concrete,
reinforced concrete and wood; in new
work, however. the latter is now lit
tie used because OF the desirability
of. permanency.
Lighthouse construction on the
land is usually comparatively simple,
except when there is difficulty of ac-
cess to the site But often IL is inn
portant for the protection of ship
ping that lighthouses be erected
either on rocks or reefs exposed 10
the sea, or actually in the water. on
sand or rock bottom Such work has
called forth the greatest skill of en-
ginecrs.
Numerous types of construction
have been used. When the founda-
tion is exposed, even at the lowest
tides, masonry towers have been,
with great labor and often danger,
fitted to the bedrock; otherwise the
structure has been erected on iron
piles driven, screwed or pumped into
the sand or coral, or on cassions
lioated TO the site and set on the bot
tom or sunk deeper by the pneumatic
process, or by the use of coffer-dams.
within which the masonry tower has
been erected; smaller structures have
been placed on rip-rap foundations
The earliest example now existing
Of a sea-swept lighthouse is the
beautiful tower Of Cordouan built IN
1884 to 1911 on a rock in the sea at
the mouth of the Gironde, on the west
coast of France This lighthouse has
since been raised In height The
original structure was elaborateiy
decorated and one floor was occupied
by a chapel
The most famous of the sea-sweDt
lighthouses is the Eddystone. 13
miles from Plymouth harbor, Eng
land This was completed I'm 1893.
after -four years OF work. During
the first year all that was accom-
plished was drilling 12 holes In the
rock and fastening irons in them.
This lighthouse, with the keepers
and the engineer who built Il. disap-
peared IN the great storm of Novem
ber 1908, and since that time three
other lighthouses have been erected
on the fddystone.
Electric lights arc used at a few
light stations only. The expense is
TOO great 10 warrant the employ
nent Of electricity at many import
ant stations
Tho electric hight at Navesnk. on
the Highlands Just south of New
YORK harbor, is the most powerful
coast light in the United States. This
iight shows each five seconds flash

mated at 60,0000OO canS'~-power.
