VALENCIA ORANGE
CROP WILL BE SHORT

According to H. A. Linn, manager
OF the Riverside-Arlington (Cal.)
Fruit Exchange, the outlook for the
orange crop during the next year is
SO per cent.
In the Pomona section the yield Is
about the same as in Riverside. The
Clarmont crop is from 40 to so per
cent less than normal and in Porter
vile 1t is the smallest in a number
CT years. Estimates there are for
about a 40 per cent crop.
Reports from Orange county, which
grows the bulk of the valencias, are
that the dropping of oranges contin-
ued until the latter part of July and
that the next years crop is profile
NAUTICAL. 1t is understood that the
crop OF Valencias is not going to be
over $4,000 carloads, which is less
than was anticipated. The drop of
this variety is the heaviest since the
beginning of the industry. Porter
vile orange growers say the valen-
cha drop there is the worst yet exper-
fenced. In this district and Redlands
where there are not so many grown
the growers are not so concerned ov-
er the matter.
The Navel crop is practically as
sured for next season, unless damaged
by frost and the establishment Of
orchard heaters has lessened that
danger considerably. The Florida |

SOME KEY WEST
CITIZENS WITHOUT
FOOD 2 DAYS

A Miami dispatch to this mornings
Tampa Tribune has the following to
say of the distress at Key West as a
result of the hurricane:
More than six hundred people stood
in the breadline at Key West this
morning when one of the bakeries
opened the first time since the hur-
ricane swept over the island Tuesday.
Some had not eaten since Tuesday
and some had eaten few scraps
gathered here and there. This tale
was brought to Miami by passengers
on the first train between Miami and
Key West since Monday. One Miami
ian said he had eaten only three
times, a few bites each time, in three
days.
Passengers on the train said the
wrecks of four large vessels were Wis
sible from the overseas railway, two
off Long key, one north of Long key
and one at Spanish Harbor.
The people of Key West are show
ing wonderful spirit, it was said,
and were rapidly clearing away the
wreckage of their city and preparing
to rebuild. Mayor Allan B. Cleare
said he thought it would not be nee.
essary to ask for outside aid
Private kilograms to Miami rela-
tives of Key West citizens say it has
been impossible to purchase food in
Key West up to and including today,
as stocks of grocery stores were de.

several feet Of water in them. 1t is

and then for brief moment lit on
the spar. Again the big bird circled,
following the craft for many miles.
Such was the story told tonight by
F. Addison, supercargo aboard the
liner, who, with eight others of the
Corydon's crew, was brought to this
city Thursday afternoon by the
schooner island Home after being
adrift on an upturned lifeboat for
fifty-three hours without food or
water. Although terribly bruised and
battered, Addison and the other were
able to tell their experiences during

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Little Montana Town Of Willow Creek
Has Something of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
Of an ordinary small town in Montana,
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Creek is q typical little West
ern town in spite of its name. 1t is
so in the midst of a vast tract Of clean
prairie land that it cannot be measured
b. the yard-wide rule Of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
a paternal watch over it.
Even when the early morning mists
hide the mountains and prairies, VIII
low Greek stands out spunkily-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
ton near the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux
uriant groves of trees flll the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A road that looks clean
swept shows to all Corners a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
AS the train from the west stops a
few minutes at Willow Creek, in the
early dawn, a middle-aged man swings
off and starts down the road at good
pace. One would know him anywhere
for a mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon-
tinental trip may smile at little Willow
Creek from his comfortable Pullman,
but there is one thing here of which
the East cannot boast-elbOw room.
The great reaches of space are some
thing unknown and bewildering to the
Eastern strap-hanger and cliff-dweller.
AS the mining man swaggers down the
road toward his great outdoors, there
is something about him which spells
domain

"PICKED UP" HIS EDUCATION

Judgment that he is, altogether, the

'IIe went to Europe one summer
with q party of people" the writer con,

back a very confused notion of what
Europe contains. She was sure OF
only two things she had seen Venice

as to which is which. My friend,
whose means have not permitted him
to make second journey, knows Eu-
rope like a man who had lived there
for years. He prepared for the jour

lions increasingly at every point; he
formed friendships with learned men
in various countries and has kept up
a correspondence with them ever
since. Confined as he is to a com

less a citizen of the world; and moth
ing that happens in it, no experience
or chance acquaintance fails to yield
its full measure of interest and added
wisdom to him.

ture authorizing an adjustment of tax
matters and at the same time to I'M
cover much or all of the hidden wealth
of the state. Work is being pushed
in this way with energy and zeal and
indication DON point to very ma
tprial reduction in state taxes next
year as result Of this adjustment.
Every CITIZEN of limited means
should be strong for this work. Many
of the wealthy are expected to be
against it for they are the ones who
have been taXdodgers and they natur-
ally wish to continue to dodge.
There is not a newspaper in the
state that does not favor the real
justment, unless it is controlled or
influenced by taxdodger. When any
newspaper or individual talks against
this movement it is safe to put him
down as q taxdodger or person who
is being Influenced by taXdodger.
There is no escaping this position, let
people say what they will.

COURTS CUNVENEi
WAGE INCREASE.

For many years there was constant
cry: Competition is the life OF
trade" That theory Is exploded and
no one any longer believes in that.
The cry has been prevalent with the
laboring element. "ShorCer hours and
higher wages" We have seen that
neither or both of them bring relief or
safe conditions to the country.
How long it will be until the aver
age person realizes that shorter hours
and higher wages will not bring relief
to the present disrupted and distressed
condition Of the world, 10 one can say,
but the real truth Of the situation is
change must come that will bring
longer hours and lower wages. BY no
other means can this great unrest be
satisfied and removed.
Most persons DO not relish their pay
being cat off, bat that, agalo, is only
a relative condition. Longer hours Of
labor means more production and more
production is what is needed worst of
all if the statements Of those best in
formed are to DE accepted. More pro
dution means more Of everything and
that-on the imlnutable law of supply
and demand-wil bring down prices.
10 continue to reduce hours of labor
will continue TO reduce production
at time when production is far below
present needs. That condition cannot
fail to increase prices. Prices of
goods always increase a little faster
than wages, hence the safest course is
to increase hours of labOs and reduce
wages SO ueedful things can find a
reasonable basis,
Russia is just now feeling the effects
of inflated prices and shorter hours
and every one knows that Russia is at
this time in the worst condition of any
country in the world. Do we want
this country to become a second Russia?

Mr.. w. W, Ball, Jr., Secretary of the

county made a wonderful record dur

is due the managing committee and its
splendid corps of precinct workers
throughout the entire county.
Very few precincts in the county
failed to reach their apportionment
and more subscribed much more than
had been assigned by the committee
as their proper share of the county's
whole quota. Every precinct in the
city of Maysvile more than subscribed
the amount allotted them and the city
was far above its total apportionment.

RIVER FREIGHT RATES

nouncement was made from Cincin-
natl that the recent reductions in Ohio
river freight rates put into effect by
the Liberty Transit Company OF
Wheeling would soon result in sharp
and general reduction in Ohio river
freight rates, greatly stimulating the
use of steamboat lines generally for
heavy freight transportation instead of
Ohio valley steam railway lines where
all river routes could be used. The
progressive move by the Wheeling
steamboat men has been most heartily
praised by large manufacturers of the
Ohio valley, friendly to waterways de-
