valifOrnia Rice

u j Tell man from Philadelphia; Columbus O.
Indianapolis; Springfield H. St. Joseph, Mo,
or Atchson Kan. that California is successfully
growing rice, not to mention oranges, olives and
palms, as far north as he lives. and unless he has
been in California he probably would think the
truth and you were strangers
But rice is being grown successfully in Butte
county in this state, where il bids fair to become a
staple and most profitable crop and one which will
develop the resources and add to the wealth of
that as yet, little exploited part Of this common
wealth
The rice crop OF the world is the largest OF all
the cereals their order being rice OATS wheat corn
barley and rye the total OF rice in 1911 being $780,
100000 bushels. OF this the United States pro-
duced only 22.o34,0O0 bushels, or less than six
tenths of one per cent Of the total
Seventy-eight million nine hundred and eleven
thousand two hundred and seventy-one pounds Of
rice valued s. 046S25, were imported into Pacific
coast ports.
Recent experiments have shown that California
can grow first class rice In Butte county, accord
ing reports Of both federal and state agricultural
experts, the general requirements, soil conditions,
water supply and climatic conditions are favorable
and admirably adapted certain types of rice aud
the yields already had have exceeded those in the
southern rice growing states.
Experiments have been carried on in Butte
county for five years past with complete success.
This year between four and FIVE thousand acres Of
land have been seeded to rice, and the value of the
crop is estimated at than quarter Of million
dollars. AS high as SO an acre net profit has been
had by Butte county growers
Butte county is not the only part of the state in
which land available but not utilized for rice grow
ing is to be found This year will put rice growing
in Butte county beyond the experimental and into
the commercial stage OF development It is already
evident that here is another OF California's many
resources which is worth most thorough study and
development.

WThy the Difference?

W The color of the eyes OF any professional
gambler who would resist a police officer
who broke into his gambling joint would be green,
very green.
What's the difference whether the gamblers
names are Wolf. Fox Rat, Dog or All sin7 II It
were All Sin there is little doubt what methods the
police would use to get in behind doors where they
suspected gambling for money was carried on by
professionals, or even by amateurs, if It was pro-
hibted by law.
Why should there be any distinction by the
police in the departments treatment OF a poor devil
of Chinese who knows no better, and richer
devil of an insolent white tnhorn gambler, who
may have false front store for presumed voca-
ton. but who makes his livelihood by sitting in at
the green baize tables with without the kitty
Right or wrong. it is doubtful if any other police
department in the United States, except San Fran
cisco'ss would submit to such insoent defiance as
that peddled out on Saturday by the propretors OF
so called social club, alias professional gambling
house
Even if these gamblers were within their rights
in defying the police, saying they would refuse to
admit any policemen, the police have ample ways
and means for putting them out OF business il they
want to do so.
The existing ordinances seem to be strong
enough to warrant the police in forcing their way
into these bunk social clubs for it provides that it
is unlawful to expose TO view any cards dice, domi-
noes etcetera. in any place protected in such a
manner as to make il difficult of access or ingress to
police officers. and that fine of $500 six months
in Jail, or both, may be imposed on any person
visiting such place
A good sized placard posted by the police de
IL IL .rb
of their business
The best way to deal with such recalcitrant
dehers OF the law is that proposed by Captain OF
Detectives Mooney
The chief OF detectives is opposed to making
fish ont of one kind of gambler and flesh out Of
another, when they are both the same in law, and
he favors breaking in the doors of some of the bunk
social clubs with an ak.
It's all very well for the gamblers to bluff and
for the chief get scared to death by the gamblers
bluff, but public opinion would support Captain
Mooney If he were to smash in the doors OF the
same bunk social club two or three times, provided
that one dose was not enough it would not be
many moons before Mr.. Tinhorn would hunt an
other hole in which to ply his dirty trade.
Every gambling house in this city can be put
out of business in "a hours by efficient chief Of
police

LOBBY GOSSIP
Boosting For Good Roads

A. L. Westgard, vice president and
director of transcontinental highways
of the National Highways association,
motored into San Francisco yesterday
and registered at the ST Francis. Mr..
Westgard brought with him a letter of
introduction from Mayor Gaynor of
New York to Mayor Rolph. Probably
Mr. Westgard has done more for good
roads in the United States and to build
the great Lincoln highway, which will
extend from the Atlantic coast to San
Francisco, than any other man.
Born in Norway IS years ago, Mr.
Westgard came to the United States in
1888 and Immediately began his career
as surveyor, doing railroad. munich
pal and land work in the southwest,
which included labors as city engineer
of Houston, Tex, and location work
for the Santa Fe. From 1892 to 1905
he had charge, as chief of the work.
of large corps of engineers, making
state. county and town maps and aliases
throughout all of the states east of the
Rockies. In these travels Mr.. West
gard became familiar with almost all
usable roads and was particularly iden-
titled with obtaining and dfssemina ting
Information regarding bicycle tours, in
formation which became of great value
when the automobile usurped the BIZ
cycles place in popular favor.
In 1907 and 1908, as chief of the tour
ing bureau of the Automobile Club of
America, he covered $4,000 miles in
motor cars. Such mileage would be
considered large today, but when it is
considered that then there were dry
batteries and spark coils instead of
magnetos and storage batteries, and
before the demountable rim was
thought of, Mr.. Westgards mileage
might be thought remarkable.
Speaking of the good roads move
ment, Mr.. Westgard said
Wherever you find good roads you
are bound to find prosperity Where
the roads are poor the cost of living is
high and there is not much prosperity.
If the good roads movement is con-
tinued at the rate it is going on now,
in 10 years it will be possible to travel
by road all over the United States on
first class highways. The people are
beginning to realize what good roads
mean.

Pinole S Thoroughfarc

The main thoroughfare in Pinole is
getting to be badly cut up by passing
autos, great numbers of which have
come this way since repairs started
on the tunnel road. The surface grayel
on the streets is Ioosened by passing
vehicles and the high winds carry it
away, leaving the large, rough stones
exposed This condition exists prin-
cipally because the streets have been
neglected in the matter of sprinkling.

Has Dan RYAN given you cigar
lately? # he did and you overlooked
the fact that Ryan is not a good Judge
lof cigars and thoughtlessy put It IN

that It was a bit better than politicians
usually pass out2 If you did this and
are indulging the fancy that Daniel IS

got those cigars and 50 will you IN
minute
Ryan, like + good many other San
Franciscans. is spending the summer as
a member Of the commuter brigade
This year he is bungalowing in Mill
Valley. Former Supervisor Theodore
Lunstedt also is summering in Marin
Ieounty. Lunstedt was the unwilling
provider of the cigars each one Of
which cost two bits.
g g @
Everybody who. has travelled on the
lsausalito ferry has noticed how, before
the boat starts from the other side, all
that can find seats settle down in the
sunshine on the upper after deck. You
have noticed also that as soon as the
boat gets well on its way and encoun-
ters the cool wind that sweeps in from
the ocean the after upper deck is
speedily deserted as the sun bathers
seek the shelter of the cabin. 1t hap
pens every bright morning.
Ryan. strange to say, had not noticed
this, and when the other day. while the
boat was still in the slip. Lunstedt Of
fered to bet is two bit cigars against
81 that within 10 minutes after the
boat started Is people would leave their
open air seats on the after deck and
go into the cabin. Ryan accepted the
challenge.
At the end of two minutes two peo-
pie had surrendered to the fresh breeze.
Four more went in as the third min
ute expired and by the time eight
minutes had passed II of the Is neces-
sary TO win Lunstedt that 81. had
sought shelter indoors At the end of
nine minutes two more left the open
deck
There was another minute to go and
only one more departure necessary to
settle the bet In the ex-supervisor's
favor The wind was freshening and
acquiring something of an edge.
Lunstedt smiled Ryan looked wor-
ried as he noticed several passengers
turn up their collars.
Nobody stirred and when the ten
minutes had expired Lunstedt gave
Ryan his card on the back of which
he had written. give the bearer
1s two bit cigars and charge same to
my account
G G @
s.Do you know what I was doing
during that last minute?" inquired
Lunstedt as he handed over the card.
Il was trying to influence the minds
of those boneheads by willing them,
all or none Of them, into the cabin.
Two of them stirred, but ! guess my
brand Of telepa thy is not strong
enough"
And do you know what I was do
ing?" said Ryan q
Lunstedt didn't

The Southern Pacific crossings in
this city with few, if any, exceptions,
are dangerous ones, and that company
should install bells and lights or
crossing fagmen at once. 1t would

financial standpoint as damages
which may accrue from the destruc-

day be great if the protection to the
public and even to the road itself is
not provided.-Hanford Sentinel.
