LANDS Editorial Note and Comment An item has been going the rounds of the press (I think it started with Statesman Melick of Pasadena) which contained a brief reference to the Eighth Congressional district, and included Kings county therein. I some time ago wrote an item about this new congressional district, giving the probable number of delegates each county would be entitled to in the convention. In this item, it may be recalled, Kings county was omitted. The reason why it was omitted was because it is not in the district. It is in the Sixth district—the new Sixth. As our readers know, California has increased in population so that it is entitled to another Congressman. The last legislature redistricted the State. Los Angeles is in a district by itself (the Seventh), and the counties composing the old Seventh have been divided up into the Sixth and Eighth districts. The Eighth district is composed of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Inyo, Tulare, Kern (all of them having been in the old Seventh), and Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo (formerly in the Sixth district with Los Angeles). The Republican and Democratic and People's party vote in the counties forming the Eighth was at the last election as follows: | Counties | Rep. | Dem. & P. P | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Orange | 2,186 | 1,691 | | Riverside | 2,389 | 1,101 | | San Diego | 4,030 | 2,392 | | San Bernardino | 3,181 | 2,110 | | Inyo | 357 | 549 | Francisco Call comes to the surface with a repetition of the following bit of rot: The politicians who are telling the Governor that he is sure to get a solid delegation from Los Angeles are filling his Gageship with hot air. The anti-Gage sentiment in the south is widespread and vigorously expressed. Los Angeles county gave McKinley 4800 majority. Republicans who are pretty well posted assert that Gage, if nominated, would lose the county, provided the Democrats put a fairly good man in the field. The indications are that San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties will send to the State convention delegations opposed to the nomination of Gage. This bit of "news" may be all right for consumption among the sea-gulls of Antioch, but here in Southern California, where conditions are known and appreciated, it reveals the hollowness of this paper's political boasting. So far from these counties sending anti-Gage delegations to the State convention, I do not believe the result of that convention will be otherwise than to nominate the present Governor, who has given the people a wise, statesmanlike and economical administration, by acclamation. And these counties of the south will have delegations there in line with this sentiment. There is not a particle of doubt in my mind about that. This bit of Call rot may do for Antioch, but here in Southern California, where conditions are known and appreciated, it proves one of two things—either that the Call is a bughouse jackanapes, or that it is a vicious prevaricator. One of the intricate problems to OUT-OF-THE-WAY P In Naples.* BY REV. FRANCIS E CLARKE Out-of-the-way places in Italy are not hard to find. The native-born American and the boot-like peninsula seem and as utterly unlike his home another planet would seem to trial being. The steamer swims the beautiful Bay of Naples, spite of the extravagant prose has been lavished upon it by writers for a hundred years admits has not been over-praised he sees it for the first time on winter morning. Capri with its blue grotto right, Ischia on the left, and Suvius, belching out steam and sand and scorce, in front of most every one feels on his chest that he has been there before in a previous state of existence millar is Vesuvius to every school-boy. Little has been lain imagination; little except the bright-hued, ragged, saucy, noisy as they are. These observations cannot be put into a written in a book. They must be appreciated. Of course mean to say that there are sedate and reputable peopleern Italy, but the traveler is to see them on his arrival. Before his steamer has drawnchor in the beautiful harbor shot from the quay, she is setby a swarm of little boats showthe characteristics I have deceived belonging to the Neapolitans. Boat a man twangs a guitar oathand a dancing girl on thaithwarts displays her agility same time holding up an invenbrella to catch the pennies wAmericanos” are sure to thaether. Another man will haveload of oranges and figs to s times their real value, while The Republican and Democratic and People's party vote in the counties forming the Eighth was at the last election as follows: Counties Rep. & P. P. Orange 2,186 1,091 Riverside 2,380 1,101 San Diego 4,030 2,372 San Bernardino 3,181 2,150 Inyo 1,957 1,949 Tulare 1,829 1,981 Kern 1,617 1,816 Ventura 1,645 1,793 Santa Barbara 1,852 1,570 San Luis Obispo 1,662 1,685 Republican plurality: 4,211. The plurality, it will be seen (and it's a prodigious one), comes. I was going to say, all of it from the four southern counties. Without these votes the district would have Democratic leanings; as it is, it is overwhelmingly Republican. The fight for the nomination is, to my mind, as it was last fall, when I referred to it first, between Senator Nutt of San Diego and Senator Smith of Kern, with chances, I believe, in favor of the former. Smith is an able campaigner, and makes one of the best stump speeches in the State. But he hails from a Democratic county and Democratic section, and is not thought to have, as was some time ago supposed, the undivided backing of the north. City Attorney Boothe of Santa Barbara has announced his candidacy and will have considerable support in the coast counties. Nutt has opposition in his own county, Judge Luce, the recently deposed postmaster, having come out for the nomination, and Collier having announced his candidacy last summer. Of course, with three San Diego men contesting for the honor, the plum would inevitably go to Smith. But Nutt is confident of his ability of coming up with an undivided delegation back of him. He counts upon the support of San Bernardino, which will undoubtedly swing with it its mountain satellite, Inyo. Being a property-owner in this county, his candidacy is naturally looked upon with favor, especially as Orange county will have no candidate for the honor. Nutt has been campaigning in the coast counties, and returns with hopes of no little support from that section. Whether this support counts for much or little, certain it is that he is strong in the three southern counties mentioned—San Diego, San Bernardino and Orange. With proper handling of his canvass, I should pick him a winner, were I guessing by acclamation. And these counties of the south will have delegations there in line with this sentiment. There is not a particle of doubt in my mind about that. This bit of Call rot may do for Antioch, but here in Southern California, where conditions are known and appreciated, it proves one of two things—either that the Call is a bug-house jackanapes, or that it is a vicious prevaricator. One of the intricate problems to be solved by Republican politicians in the coming State campaign is what to do about the Supreme Court. Justice Beatty and Associate Justices Garoutte and Harrison go out this year. Judge Beatty wants a renomination, and Judge Garoutte would also like to be Chief Justice. The ambitions of these two candidates have resulted in a bitter fight, which promises to involve the entire ticket. Beatty has the Republican organization behind him, and hopes to ride to victory on the shoulders of the Gage forces, while Garoutte, who is a shrewd politician, is building up an independent organization and is antagonizing no one. However, Garoutte's and Flint's fight will suffer the same fate—either both will win or both will lose. In filling the two associate justice positions, geography is the most important question to be considered. Van Dyke is the only southern member of the Supreme Court, and as he is a silver Republican he does not figure, and politicians are looking toward Southern California for a man to fill one of the places on the ticket. Among those considered are Judge Torrance of San Diego, who was beaten by Temple when he ran for the same office; Judge Oster of San Bernardino, and Judge Noyes of Riverside, all of whom are acknowledged to be splendid material, and any one of whom could bring considerable strength to the ticket. In Northern California Judge Sweeney of Shasta, Judge Edson of Siskiyou, Judge Ellison of Tehama, and Judge Angellotti of Marin, are all clamoring for recognition, and the fight promises to be exceedingly warm before convention time. Judge M. A. Luce of San Diego is the latest aspirant for congress from the Eighth district. Judge Luce has been prominent in San Diego for many years. He recently turned over the position of postmaster to his successor and is now willing to serve his country in a somewhat broader capacity.

There are now seven candidates in the field and the convention promises to be a decidedly interesting one. The candidates are: Judge Luce, A. E. Nutt and D. C. Collier, all of San Diego; Capt. M. J. Daniels of Riverside, Mayor Prescott of Redlands, S. C. Smith of Bakersfield, and District Attorney Booth of Santa Barbara. Tangle Over Library. An interesting legal tangle has arisen at Santa Ana over the disposition of the gift of $15,000 by Andrew Carnegie for a public library. The matter of the selection of a site for the building had been delegated to the Board of Library Trustees and the selection made by them before it was discovered that the Board is probably an illegal body, having been elected in April, 1901, under the Act of 1880, which was repealed in March, 1901, just a month before the election took place. The question arises as to whether or not the Board itself has power to act. The question is being investigated by the City Attorney. C. C. Chapman has purchased the Lefflingwell place of forty-one acres, and the Rudd place of ten acres in Placecia, paying for the two orchards $40,000. There is a residence and other substantial improvements on the Lefflingwell property. Adding this $40,-000 to sales already reported for this week, runs the real estate sales up to $192,000 for the week. The way in which everyone ried on in the open in so amuses and interests them.

MARCH 20. 1902. OUT-OF-THE-WAY PLACES In Naples.* BY REV. FRANCIS E CLARK, D. D. Out-of-the-way places in southern Italy are not hard to find. In fact, to the native-born American any spot in the boot-like peninsula seems strange and as utterly unlike his home land as another planet would seem to a terrestrial being. The steamer sweeps into the beautiful Bay of Naples, which, in spite of the extravagant praise that has been lavished upon it by travelers and writers for a hundred years, one admits has not been over-praised when he sees it for the first time on a bright winter morning. Capri with its blue grotto is on the right, Ischia on the left, and fiery Vesuvius, belching out steam and smoke, sand and scorce, in front of him. Almost every one feels on his first visit that he has been there before, perhaps in a previous state of existence, so familiar is Vesuvius to every American school-boy. Little has been left to the imagination, little except the people, bright-hued, ragged, saucy, dirty and noisy as they are. These characteristics cannot be put into a picture or written in a book. They must be seen to be appreciated. Of course I do not mean to say that there are no clean, sedate and reputable people in southern Italy, but the traveler is not likely to see them on his arrival. Before his steamer has dropped anchor in the beautiful harbor, a pistol-shot from the quay, she is surrounded by a swarm of little boats showing all the characteristics I have described as belonging to the Neapolitans. In each boat a man twangs a guitar or a banjo, and a dancing girl on the narrow shawts displays her agility, at the same time holding up an inverted umbrella to catch the pennies which the "Americanos" are sure to throw down at her. Another man will have a boat-load of oranges and figs to sell at ten times their real value, while still an ample supply of delicatessen upon him to sign the patent, if conditions prescribed by the United States laws were first complied with. Sections 3519 and 3520 of the Political Code read as follows: SEC. 3519. Whenever final payment has been made for any tract of land, the selection of which has been accepted and approved by the United States authorities, or when the tract finally paid for or reclaimed is swamp and overflowed salt-marsh or tide lands, the register [a Federal official] * * * must prepare a patent for the land and send it to the Governor. * * * SEC. 3520. The patent must then be signed by the Governor, attested by the Secretary of State, sealed with the great seal of the State, and be counter-signed by the register. Here is the whole thing in a nutshell. The Governor's act was, as we say, purely ministerial; he had no judicial discretion in the premises whatsoever. He could have been impeached had he declined to obey the law. If Byram and his crowd of shouters desire to get at the root of this matter, let them take it up with the United States government—which has, as we have said, already passed upon it. His argument is fallacious, and fails to the ground. He must look elsewhere for shells for his poultry. Rural Free Delivery The bill to classify rural free delivery service and place carriers under the contract system, which was debated in the house for ever a week, was passed last week, but in a form that completely changed the purpose for which it was framed. Before it was passed, the bill was altered radically by its opponents. All the provisions relating to placing carriers under contract system were stricken out, and the salary system not only was continued, but the maximum salary of carriers was increased from $500 to $600 per annum. A motion offered by Mr. Williams (Dem.) of Illinois to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment providing for the dismissal from the service of carriers who should use their influence in favor of any particular party or for any particular can- Before his steamer has dropped anchor in the beautiful harbor, a pistol-shot from the quay, she is surrounded by a swarm of little boats showing all the characteristics I have described as belonging to the Neapolitans. In each boat a man twangs a guitar or a banjo, and a dancing girl on the narrow chwarts displays her agility, at the same time holding up an inverted umbrella to catch the pennies which the "Americans" are sure to throw down at her. Another man will have a boatload of oranges and figs to sell at ten times their real value, while still another will tie a frayed and delapidated bouquet to a long pole which he tries so thrust into the faces of the passengers leaning over the rail. Yet another man with a load of mandolins holds up one to the view of the passengers, crying out with extravagant gestures the one English phrase which he has learned by heart: "What a fine mandolin! Oh, what a fine mandolin!" Soon the little boat carries us to the shore, and here the varied and picturesque panorama which began to unfold itself upon the water increases in vividness, sauciness, squalor and vociferousness. Every man, woman and child is a picture to unaccustomed eyes, but often a picture of filthiness and poverty, relieved by a few touches of color and grotesque raggedness. Beggars swarm on every hand. Some display frightful sores that lead the stranger to give them as wide a berth as possible. Children playing merrily one minute upon the sidewalk with their marbles, when they see an American coming, whom they can "spot" as far as they can see, drop their marbles, pull a long face, and with an inexpressible whine, meant to be most sad and pathetic, recite their woes as they have been carefully taught to do. Pretty little girls come up with a bewitching, irresistible smile, and ask for just a penny in so fascinating a manner that they often get more than they deserve, simply because of the smile. At every step one sees something new to his unaccustomed eyes. The herds of goats interest him, especially if it is early in the morning, for each one knows its own milk route, and stops at the appointed door that its owner may fill the bottle that is passed out for the daily supply. Most of the people of Naples, however, live in the third or the fourth story, and the goats very accommodatingly mount the stairs and stop at the right door to be milked. The cows that furnish part of the milk of Naples are unable to perform these stair-climbing feats, and wait patiently below while the pail or bottle is lowered from the upper story and filled by the milkman before the eyes of the buyer. It is very evident that the people of Naples have learned that the only way to get their milk fresh and undiluted is to have it delivered at the door in the original package. The way in which everything is carried on in the open in southern Italy amuses and interests the American. In some of the narrow streets, where a man's outstretched arms can almost touch the houses on each side, every water inside the dock is several feet lower than that outside, and much land previously overflowed and worthless has been reclaimed and set to crops. When Meyler met the Committee of Agitators he asked was there any one present who was injured by the existence of the dock. For some time no one spoke. Then Bryam said: "I have been damaged by the existence of this dock. For twenty-four years I have been coming to this beach and gathering shells for my poultry. Now that these people have come here and fenced in this land I am shut out from gathering any more shells." "Anybody else damaged by this dock?" asked Meyler. "I have been," quoth McCoy. "I have been coming here to gather shells for my poultry for twenty-six years. I can't do it any more. Since these people have come here and bought the land and fenced it, they have shut us out. I consider it a great injustice to the people." "Anybody else damaged?" "I have been," spoke up Bos'n McDonald. "The stench arising from this body of stagnant water has upset my stomach so that I have vomited up three of my breakfasts." These breakfasts, the Bos'n explained, were heaved up at different times—not all in one day. That was the whole sum and substance of the complaint about the dam, except statesman Hazzard's harrangue about its "navigability." Captain Meyler pointed out the fact that the government would scarcely undertake to improve the body of water and create a harbor, even admitting the waters were navigable, in view of the fact that it was expending a million dollars at San Pedro, which is in plain sight of Bolsa Chica—not more than a dozen miles away. The question of shells for poultry was hardly of sufficient gravmance to warrant bringing it to the War Department. Meyler reviewed the whole subject at length, his words being reprinted in these columns at the time. Mr. Cole, a farmer living next the land company, said that seven acres of his overflowed land had been reclaimed by the lowering of the plane of saturation, consequent upon the existence of the dam. He said he had gained several thousand dollars. The reclaimed land had been plowed for the first time in its history. As he expressed it, "a year before a snake couldn't get across it, now I have plowed it, and can drive across with a heavy farm wagon." Capt. Meyler referred the whole matter to the War Department at Washington, which approved his recommendation that no steps be taken to molest the land company in the peaceable possession of the property. Br. Bryam has recently taken the matter up with Gov. Gage. In his mad determination to be permitted to go across private land, reach the beach and gather up shells for his poultry, he seeks to bring the Governor into the controversy, as follows: WESTMINSTER, Cal., Feb. 25, 1902. HON. HENRY GAGE, Governor of California—Dear Sir: Some months since A motion offered by Mr. Williams (Dem.) of Illinois to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment providing for the dismissal from the service of carriers who should use their influence in favor of any particular party or for any particular candidate, was voted down by 141 to 96. As passed the bill classifies the rural free delivery service and fixes the compensation of employees as follows; Special agents in charge of divisions, not to exceed $2400 per annum; special agents, four classes, graded, from $1300 to $1600; route inspectors, four classes, from $900 to $1200; clerks, four classes, from $900 to $1200. The compensation of carriers is net to exceed $000. La Habra Land Deal. One of the biggest real estate deals in the history of the county was closed Tuesday week by W. J. Hole, agent of the Stearns Ranchos company. He sold outright 218 acres to F. Records and others of Los Angeles. The land is in the east end of La Habra valley, south of Brea canyon. Most of the land will be set to orange, walnut and lemon trees, and will be sold off in ten-acre improved and unimproved holdings, an inch of water going with each ten acres. The new owners have contracted for the delivery of 200 inches of water, which will come from the Edgmont Water company of East Whitier. Adding to this other land sales Mr. Hole has made the past week, his total sums up to $152,000. William J. Wickersheim and Miss Emma R.

It is very evident that the people of Naples have learned that the only way to get their milk fresh and undiluted is to have it delivered at the door in the original package. The way in which everything is carried on in the open in southern Italy amuses and interests the American. In some of the narrow streets, where a man's outstretched arms can almost touch the houses on each side, every possible occupation and handicraft seems to be carried on. The barber is shaving his customer, the shoemaker is tapping his old soles, the vender of fried fish is cooking his savory morsels in a pot of boiling oil over a brazier on the sidewalk. The tailor is using his goose, the cabinet-maker mending his furniture, the tripe-seller cooking his viands, the pig's-feet man displaying his wares, all upon the same stretch of sidewalk, and each within elbow-distance of his neighbor. The street cries of these itinerant vendors are interesting enough to call for a whole article devoted to them alone. There is nothing like it, to my knowledge, in any other part of Europe, though the far East rivals the cries as well as the smells of Naples. I can give but a few of these street calls, which one hears at every corner in Naples, as they have been translated by one who knows them well. "Cry, children; I have cherries!" is the call of the cherry-man, as he presents his little bundles of cherries when they first arrive. This, translated into still more intelligible English, means, "Be seech your parents, children, with tears in your eyes, to buy some cherries!" The fig-man walks along the street apparently soliloquizing, though in a stentorian voice, for he cries out in rapt admiration as he looks at his wares, "But what a fig! what a fig! How beautiful they are!" Chestnuts play an important part in the kitchen economy of Italy. Upon Capt. Meyler referred the whole matter to the War Department at Washington, which approved his recommendation that no steps be taken to molest the land company in the peaceable possession of the property. Br. Bryam has recently taken the matter up with Gov. Gage. In his mad determination to be permitted to go across private land, reach the beach and gather up shells for his poultry, he seeks to bring the Governor into the controversy, as follows: WESTMINSTER, Cal., Feb. 25, 1902. HON. HENRY GAGE, Governor of California—Dear Sir: Some months since a committee of our Farmers' Club reported that they had found on record a patent signed by yourself conveying a certain tract of salt marsh State land to a gun club; also that said patent included the bay of Bolsa Chica, a body of water several miles in extent, eight and one-half feet deep at extreme low tide and five hundred and four feet wide, and open to the ocean by a fair channel and clearly navigable. Further, at about the same time our Farmers' Club submitted to you a numerously signed petition in relation to this matter, which it seems you did not deign to answer or acknowledge in any manner. Now, it seems to us that your action in signing a patent to navigable water was a violation of the provisions of our State constitution, consequently a violation of your oath of office; and that your failure to acknowledge a petition of citizens of our State was practically a denial of the right of petition, a violation of the constitution of the United States, and a blow at the foundation principles of free government. We trust that you may be able to show us wherein our conclusions are at fault, as such explanation will have a modifying effect upon the instructions given our delegates to the Pomona Farmers' Clubs Institute. Very respectfully, Westminster Farmers' Club, O. B. BRYAM, Secretary. Let us see what the Governor's connection with this matter is. That he signed the patent to these tide or swamp lands, which were first purchased from the United States government, was an act incumbent upon him by the laws of the State. It was a ministerial act; he had no judicial discretion upon the subject whatever. As Governer of the State, it was obli- Never thought of such a sign for a medicine did you? Well, it's a good sign for Scott's Emulsion. The body has to be repaired like other things and Scott's Emulsion is the medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out from worry, from over-work, from disease. They get thin and weak. Some of the new ones are not well made—and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott's Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best materials are used in the patching and the patches don't show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn. You can do it yourself—you and the bottle.
