to the tender mercies of Sheriff
Robert c. Ware.
No matter how many prisoners
there are. the jail must hold them.
Juvenile tank. Women's department
and cell blocks for the men are full
and running over with prisoners
beonging to city. county. state and
federal governments. All but the
county must pay for the privilege
Of packing them in.
The housing problem IS 5oived by
the simple eXpedient OF spreading
the prisoners out on the floor t
night and letting them mill around
Ill the cell blocks by day. Sleeping
arrangements for the overflow con-
siSt OF mattresses lined up on the
ll,or in every nook and Granny not
at the moment occupied by some
thing else. Blankets complete the
bedding down process. The Jailers
always hope there will be enough
to wrap them up as snuggly as
bugs in rugs.
Sanitation under these overcroWd-
ed conditions is of major import
ance. A constant and thorough
"debugging" with super-pluS dis
infectants makes the place practi-
cally germ proof as well as highly
odoriterOus.
While all the PRISONERS booked
there do not make long stays, the
incoming horde is always greater
than the outgoing.
The county plays hosts to the
prisoners at meal time with a menu
that elicts few complaints from
the star boarderS. With a guest
list of 2l6 prisoners, the kitchen
gang prepered and served 487 meals
in one day. The workers on the
chain gang rate three meals daily
and the drones in the tanks but
TWO. Plenty of beans, garlic, stew,
spaghetti bread, coffee and other
delicacies serve to KEEP body and
soul together.
Chain gang prisoners do consid-
cradle work in the county. They
work under gang bosses on the
grounds at the jail and court house,
at the county fair grounds, for the
agricultural department. as jani-
tors and in other places where
needed.

County Executive Charles d

about.
Deterding said lin general the
county IS not opposed to employees

said. however. he was uncertain as
to what policy would apply in the
cases of the deputy sheriffs. who
have taken AN oath of office to
uphold and enforce the laws"
Cox was more emphatic.
Nothing has come to my atten-

said. "Of course, peace officers

THE REAL GOLD OF THE WEST


Editor Democrat:-To think OF
California without its golden Or
anges is almost impossible. This is
the real gold of the west. You may
traverse hundreds of miles of des-
ert, but sooner or later you come to
the we'll. ordered, even spaced
groves of lemon, grapefruit and or
ange. There are 100000 acres
planted to 24,000,000 trees in Cali
fornia, and Arizona has $1,000
acres of citrous fruits. These two
states send out each year $4,000
carloads of healthg giving fruits,
probably 7O% Of the nations cit
rous supply. They pay in wages
100000 and the fruit value is
estimated at $100,000,00O.
While Ohio was celebrating the
settling of the Northwest Territory.
California was celebrating the be-
ginning of citrous culture. We saw
at San Bernardino the mammoth
annual festival where tons Of fruit
are exhibited in fantastic displays.
At Riverside still fiourishes the first
navel orange tree planted by Mrs.
Eliza G.. Tibbets, in 1873, and
brought here from Bahia. Brazil.
The navels are harvested in winter
and spring, and the Valencias from

tinuous year around stream flows to
the markets.
The perfect success of non-profit
cooperative organization is seen
here. There are 100000 mem
bers of the California Fruit Grow
ers' association. The trade name is
"Sunkist. The weather man keeps
close watch, and communicates with
every grower. We saw everywhere
in early spring the smudge-pots, Or
oil stoves. Fruit and blossom ap-
pear together in spring. The or
anges are clipped, never pulled, and
the picking is done with gloves. 1t
is a great revelation to enter pack
ling house, and see the fruits pass
over the rollers, falling into their
respective bins, machinery grading
them perfectly as to the size. Con
|trary to our supposition, they do
not wish to raise large, but only
medium sized fruit, which is desir-
ed by all markets. A box has so,
100, 1875, $50, 176, 200, 216, 252
1888 or 334 by actual count. The To-
cal markets are a thing of beauty
with exquisite arrangement in va
riety and color, crowded with fruits
sold at rates exceedingly reason
able. Living expenses are lower
here than anywhere 1 have ever
been.
In Los Angeles and other cities,
you may find fruit groves right at
the very door, serving both as a
convenience, and as decoration,
contrasting pleasantly with roses.
palms and eucalyptus. This condi-
ton is especially true of the foot
hills, and close up to the mountains,
where the soil is rich alluvial i'm
pregnated with iron and other min

cados, kumquats, loquats grow, with
every variety of garden vegetable,
and nearly all fruits known to the
temperate and sub-tropical zones.
