The possibility of the assembly
Keeping the legislature in session be-
yond two months has been realized
by the lower house leaders with the
result that day and night sessions are

All insurance companies, whether
incorporated in California or else
where, are required to file a $4,000
bond, according to a bill by Senator
KehOe, which was unanimously ap-
proved and sent to the assembly. The
law now demands the bond of COM
panies incorporated outside the state.
Judiciary Strengthened
1t is Senator Chambers contention,
and in this he has many strong sup
porters, that the bench will be greatly
strengthened under a system that
provides for appointment and for SER
vice during good behavios, subject to
the recall.
The Crowley bill creating a state

Plant Quarantine Bill Approved
The assembly gave it's approval to
the Alvey bill giving the horticulture
commissioner power to place plants

The federal standard of restrictions
on shipment of citrus fruits is estab-
lished for California in a bill by Sena-

becomes unlawful "to ship or sell ci-
trus fruits in boxes or in bulk, if the

RAIslN DAY BOOSTERS ORGAN
IZE TO AID FRESNO FESTIVAL

FRESNO, Mar. 30.-The big Raisin
Day festival campaign was given add
ed impetus through the announcement
that the recently organized drill team
of the Commercial Club will in a very
few days begin touring the San Joa-
quin Valley in the interest of the great
celebration on April 30 At yester-
days meeting of the festival commit
tee, on the suggestion of W. F. Too
mey, $3.50 was voted the drill team to
aid it in the purchase of uniforms.

name officially chosen for the new
organization. The first drill was held
at the Commercial club quarters last
night under the direction of E. r. Arm
strong. retired captain of the Zouaves,
the once famous organization of San
Francisco. The Fresno team will be
modelled after the Royal Rosarians OF
Portland, and the showing made last
night gives assurance that it will be-
come equally as famous. For the pres
ent it is probable that there will be
twenty-four members, although this
may be increased to thirty-tWo.

RANGER IN TOWER TO
WATCH FOR FIRES

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 3O.-A man in
a glass house on top of a steel tower
fifty feet high on the summit of a
mountain 5000 feet above the sea level
is to be the United States govern
ment's latest method to protect the
Angeles national forest, and particu-
larly the San Antonio canyon.
According to r. H. Charlton, forest
supervisor, who has charge of the for
est, the tower, to cost, with equip
ment, $4,000, will be butt at once It
will be located on Sunset peak, near
Mt. Badly, back of Camp Badly. The
expense of building the tower will be
met equally by the government and
the San Antonio Fruit exchange.
The fruit exchange is supplied with
water from San Antonio canyon, and
a minimum of forest fires is vital to
the water supply for the company's
orchards. A great fire year ago in
the canyon caused a loss of many
thousands.
A forest ranger will live night and
day in the tiny glass house at the top
of the tower. Here he will have an
open view on all sides, while he is
cooking, reading or thinking. The
great stretch of the forest will be open
to him and his powerful field glasses.
Telephone wires will connect him
with Supervisor Charlton's headquar-
ters in Los Angeles and with the doz-
ems of rangers scattered all over the
forest. The telephone equipment alone
will cost $1,000.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LEADS
STATE WITH 63,3OO AUTOS

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 3O.-California
has issued to date 1918 pairs of mo-
tor license tags, these figures being
from figures telegraphed from, Sacra-
mento and obtained from the State
registration branch in South Olive
street. Of the 119,743 cars licensed
$4,000 were handled at the Los Angeles
branch, the remaining 56,443 being
tagged through the Sacramento motor
vehicle division of the State engineer
ing department.
Southern California exceeds the
northern part of the state in all the
figures except that of the chauffeurs.
The north has registered 7191 drivers,
while Los Angeles figures are 1000
less. This difference is accounted for
by the great number of "jitneys"
which now are in operation in the
Northern exposition city.
In receipts Southern California has
paid into the state treasury $977,S5O.
This is $210,003 more than received at
Sacramento. The total receipts are
$1,637,69
In motorcycles Southern California
leads by less than 1000. The total
number in the state are 1909.

AGRICULTURE SHOW At FAIR

EIGHT ACRES DEVOTED TO DIS.
PLAY OF FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Never Before Has One Building De.
voted to Agriculture Covered So
Great an Area-Main Building
Built at Cost of $425 900.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 3O.-Some
idea of the immensity of the depart
ment devoted to agriculture at the
Panama-Pacific international EXposi-
ton may be gained when it is stated
that the floor area of the Palace of
Agriculture covers eight acres. In
addition to this great area, three acres
are devoted outside the building to
displaying the heavier implements of
agriculture; sixty-fve acres to the live
stock section, and four acres of floor
space to the allied industry with agri-
culture, food products, in the beautiful
Palace of Food Products.
Not in the history of worlds fairs
has so great space been allowed for
this particular subject and never has
one building devoted to agriculture
covered SO great an area.
The Palace of Agriculture, one of
the exhibit buildings in the main
group of eight, was built at cost of
$425,610.
Among the most extensive exhibit
ors in this palace outside of the states
of the United States are China. Ar
gentina and New Zealand, each with
space. The United States government
has an exhibit covering a similar
amount of space, as has the Philippine
Islands
To single out any group of exhibit
ors is hardly fair to the others, but
only by few scattered examples
where all are bound to excite admira
tion, can a picture be given of the in
| terror.
The state of Washington has a shin
gle mill installed, turning out finished
souvenir shingles for visitors. Every
thing pertaining to the lumber indus
try of Puget Sound will be shown. A
smaller booth will contain Washing
toms exhibit, including a miniature
farm with machinery at work.
A feature of Missouri's agricultural
exhibit will be corn tower fifty fee
high, topped with corn crown. Al
the columns of the booths are of corr
and the other cereals of the state are
shown as pictorial decorations.
There will be types Of agricultural
factories connected with farming, dai
ries, creameries, cheese factories, etc.;
oil mills, grain elevators and appli
ances; equipment for the breeding o.
birds and the artificial Matching, rails

The Pacific Electric has recently
opened it's new line from Corona to
