CALIFORNIA NOW EXPORTING
TURKISH TOBACCO AUSTRALIA

A shipment of approximately a car
load of Turkish tobacco from Califor-
MIA to Australia is announced by the
department of commerce. This is the
first expectation of tobacco ever made
from California, that is tobacco grown
in the state.
If this shipment proves satisfactory,
there is doubt, but new field of eX-
port will be opened up for this coun-
try thus enlarging the commerce be-
tween this country and South Ameri-
can countries.

A few minutes before the Shriners'

corder of Alec Temple, hesitated long
enough to pay tribute to the wonderful
entertainment which Americus afford

Noble Leby was one of the most en-

arduous clerical duties were disposed
of in such a manner as to allow at
tentions to be paid in other quarters.
Late last night '"Val," as he is af-
fectionately termed, said that Alec
Temple had never been entertained and
so thoroughly enjoyed ceremonial as
that held here yesterday.
A hearty amen" was given these
sentiments by L. NJ. White, the director

the federal government will be empowered to enforce

ONCE MORE THE POST OFFICE SITE.

It is just possible that question has arisen for
long time which has caused much real feeling and
contention as this post office question.
There are three sharply defined classes of opin-
ion on the subject. First there are those who say
that the Benn site is the only logical se the whole
proposition has been centered in it for over five years
and that it will be highly dangerous to tamper with
it now
Second, there are those who say we ought to
get busy and arrange for another and better SITE but
this faction is mighty slow in showing how this can
be done, suggesting site worth $60000O and
offering it for 100000, with 81 100000 subscrip-
tion is quite too foolish to consider this better site
talk is principally "hot air."
Third, there are those who are going clear down
the line to stop post office being built in any place.
in any location, at any price, They do this so as
to obtain the rent of s120000 year for the present
post office: The most unworthy part Of this third
party is that they play the gum shoe" racket and
secretly do great injury to the city, They do not
out in the open and give business for
their conduct but they do get in their 'fne work.
where it will do the most harm to the city.
It would be interesting if the stockholders of the

arrangements are all made and the appropriation

It is undoubtedly true that Congress during the
present session will have more important business on
its hands than before in the history of this
try. Among the great matters that it may consider
better preparation for national defense, tariff
revenue, aside from the tariff, the
plan for government merchant ships, cloture in the
Senate, the regular appropriation bills conservation
modification of the new seamans law, the Philippine
situation, suffrage, prohibition, bills that grow
out of the report of the Commission Industrial Re-
latons, and rural credits legislation, &c., &C. There
is thing sure that state never better rep
resented in Washington D. c., than now. Our rep
resentatives be relied to give good account
of themselves.
