Santa Barbara, Jan. 6.-"The enor-
NOUS crops Of the Middle West and
the abrnomal prices will inure to the
very good fortune Of California this
year in the shape of tourists and pro
spective colonists.
Gravel to the coast will be much
heavier than it was last season--a di-
rect sequence of unequaled prosperity
among the farmers. Hosts of people
will be enabled to visit this state who
otherwise could not have come
This optimism, which has been given
the benefit of being reduced to the
exact science of figures, was given
voice today by f. P. Ripley, president
of the Santa Fe. It sounds like the
prelude of one of Frank Wiggins' cir
culars, meant for country distribution,
but the authorship is as stated.
Mr.. Ripley usually composes jere-
miads, but today, when seen by the
reporter, he vouchsafed the predic
ton with the silver lining given
above.
1t may be said, rather, that this was
the silver lining, fer Mr. Ripley does
not confess any cause for hoping that
greater prosperity is to come to the
country. He disagrees with Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, who has
just gone his prosperity predicting
way over California. Mr.. Ripley says
that the words of Mr.. McAdoo were
those Of the politician.
Nevertheless, the bluff and rugged
genius of the Santa Fe has given this
bit of comfort about California, which
Is at least worth its weight in gold,
because Mr.. Ripley is nearly always
to be found in the bear side Of the
prediction market.
"The farmers of Kansas We're never
so prosperous" he said. "They viii

Sacramento, Jan. 6.-Governor Hi
ram w. Johnson today delivered to
the state legislature his second BIZ
ennial message. The governor was
greeted with burst of applause from
both floors and the galleries when he
appeared. The message was partic-
ularly important in that it is conced-
cd to be the keynote to all legislation
that will be enacted at this session,
the Progressives having full control
of the legislature and accepting the
Johnson program as the program Of
the Progressive party.
Here are the salient recommenda-
tions of Governor Johnson in his mes
sage:
Increase rates of taxation of cor
porations.
Make election of state officials non
partisan.
Create free labor exchanges.
Establish system of rural cred
its.
Prevent abuse of the initiative, ref
erendum and recall.
Immediate consideration of the prob
lem of providing work for the states
unemployed.
Urges most rigid economy in MAX
ing appropriations.
1t is stated that the policy of the
administration will be to continue and
perfect existing laws rather than in
augurate new measures.

products in proportion.
"Two hundred dollars for every
man, woman and child will go into
Kansas in payment for products. This
is without precedent, abnormal. Othe'
sections of the Middle West are simi
Iarly fortunate.

finding themselves unwontedly wei

ton of it by coming out to Califor

find that California itself is bigge.

On the other side of the ledger Mr.
Ripley made this entry:
"The railroads will have to get re-
lief from the competition of the ca
nal or eventually go out of business
This is certain.
"Renewed efforts will be made by
the western roads to have this unfair
traffic condition equalized A ton OF
freight can be hauled from New York
tc San Francisco by water for $6. II
costs twice that much to send it by
rail from Chicago to San Francisco.
"The Middle Western people, whose
geographical misfortune it is not to
benefit from the canal for which they
are taxed, wanted the railroad rates
reduced. A very familiar cry, but it
happens now that rates could not be
reduced without driving the railroads
out of business. In fact, rates must
he increased to keep the railroads in
business.
"The destiny of the railroads, it is
not difficult to foresee. is government
ownership. But WREN the government
tackles the business of owning anc
operating the railroads it will go oul

form could not possibly exist
Mr. Ripley's manner became more
vigorous. He was just in from the
golf course, tanned and with a clea
snap in his eyes. He looked in un
usual good health and was evidentl,
abounding in it both physically anc
mentally. He concluded:

Great Britain's Policy

Washington, Jan. 6.-Dispatches
from London, indicating that Great
Britain will not radically change its
policy regarding shipping because
American cargoes will be certified by
the United States government, caused
little surprise in Washington today.
No administration official expected
Great Britain would surrender the
right of search on the high seas be-
cause of these certifications. There is
feeling, however, that British Off
cials have been at least abrupt in
pointing out this fact so soon after
the announcement of the certification
plan. 1t will be made clear to Great
Britain within the next few DAYS that
the American government, while not
questioning the right of search in
time OF war, will expect the right to
be exercised with moderation, and
that delays to which shipping has
been subjected be guarded against.

EUROPEAN CAPITAL
ASKS PROTECTION

New Orleans, Jan. 6.-Private ad-
vices from Vera Cruz state that En-
ilano Zapata and General Angeles,
The latter Villas aide, have been sur
rounded by Carranzista troops, who
captured Puebla. 1t is added that
the beautiful Puebla cathedral has
been destroyed by artillery fire.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The council of
foreign bondholders whose headquar-
ters is at London, it is understood
here. has now renewed its insistence
on protection to foreign railway propa
trty in Mexico, which has been dem \
onstrated within the past few days toS
be at the mercy of bandits near Vera
Cruz and Dureilles, along the line of
the Tehuantepec railway.
A gloomy view is taken by diplo-
mats in Washington of the present
state of affairs in Mexico, and this
view is accentuated by the constant
reports of the arrest of American citi-
zens and of indignities offered to them,
as in the recent fragrant attack by
two army officers on Mrs. Robert Oh
linger of Mexico City, without any
punishment of the guilty officers or
even an adequate report to the state
department of the circumstances.
British bondholders make their rep
resentations through the British en-
hassy at Washington and it is known
that embassy officials regard the stu
atioR throe5 hout Mexico as worse than
ever, with no end to the chaos and
anarchy in sight.
This view of the British government
does not refer specifically to Vera
Cruz or Mexico City, but it is known
that the British government has called
the attention of the United States
Two or three times to the destruction
Of British 1ailway property on the
line from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
and to British interests which were
hurt in the recent blowing up of tun-
nels on the Tehuant 1pec railway.
The failure of the United States
to protect American citizens in any
emergency in any city in Mexico is
emphasized by news to the British
embassy from the Spanish legation in
Mexico City that the lives of Ameri-
can citizens and of British citizens
during the riots in Mexico City toward
The close of December were saved by
the personal efforts of the former gov
ernor of the Mexican province, Prince
Iturbide This Mexican apparently
was chased at last into the British
embassy and he has since been ha-
rassed relentlessly by emissaries of
Zapata.
Recently President Gutierrez him
self sent a report to the state depart
ment, in which he denounced the "con-
tinuous disappearance" of people in
the night, with the chances of as
:. sassination,' and the lack of protec-
ton to his o-religionists."

the streets until late hour last night,
but finally the Villstas we're driven

Obregon reported that he took more
than 600 prisoners. Unofficial re-
ports say fully 700 soldiers were

INSPIRATION OF
TIE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter RadfOrd.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power--that is the inspira-
tion of the soil You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence Of
the scene-that is the spirit OF the
harvest You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article Of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products Of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment. their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the paTlor of agricul-
ture where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
tion, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many OF you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush

fed to the hogs by the carload last

vegetable-every year rots by the
al ire In the Southwest for want of
mhrket and as a result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ten natures capitalization goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
IL is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
pixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility Of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
It is also we'll to remember that there
is O market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships In the

At the special meeting of Hook

final arrangements were made for the
second monthly dance to be held at

Judging from the attendance at the

even surpass it. Gentlemen will be
admitted for the small fee of fifteen
cents, while the ladies will be ad-
mitted free. The ladies will also be
entitled to a chance on a handsome

in itself, and it is hoped that all the
ladies will attend, and show their APP
