CALIFORNIA VINE DISEASE Resistant Grape for Distribution EDITOR GAZETTE.—The work of the Pacific Coast Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated the resistance of one variety of European grape to the California vine disease. A number of acres of this variety have been grown by the department and the cuttings from these vines, several thousand in number, are now ready for distribution in lots of 10 to 100 to individuals who may wish to get a start with a resistant grape. These cuttings may be secured at the Wild Plant Improvement Gardens on Durant street, Santa Ana. (Between West and Ross streets, north of Washington avenue.) The grape here being distributed is the Lenoir, a dark variety with rather small berries and bunches of medium size. The vine is very vigorous and fairly productive, and has rich dark green foliage. The grape is best suited for coloring wines or for making port wines, though the flavor as a table grape is not bad. As a stock to graft upon it will prolong the life of a tender variety though not keeping the tender top free from disease. It is well adapted as an arbor plant. Extensive hybridizing work is being conducted between this resistant grape and other varieties with the object of fairly productive, and has rich dark green foliage. The grape is best suited for coloring wines or for making port wines, though the flavor as a table grape is not bad.

Extensive hybridizing work is being conducted between this resistant grape and other varieties with the object of transmitting this resistance to a considerable number of new hybrid grapes of various qualities, and it is confidently believed the department will thus master the disease which has caused a loss of fully fifty million dollars to the State of California.

Change In Arrival of Mail Afternoon mail from the north now arrives at 4:02 instead of an hour earlier as heretofore. The change is due to an increase of two hours in the running time of all trains between Chicago and Los Angeles, the railroads having come to the conclusion that their former time was too fast. The change makes matters lively at the postoffice at that hour. Northern mail arrives on the Southern Pacific at 3.51, and the four carriers of rural free delivery arrive about the same time. The outgoing northbound mail on the 5.17 Santa Fe train is made up by 4.45, and altogether the force of employees is kept on the jump. The last mail to arrive previous to this rush is the noon mail from the south and the kite-shaped track. The history of the transaction back to the founding of the Water and Power company some ago, when the concern acquired title to the strip of land in quarantining from a point south side down the Santa Ana coast most to Rincon. The commercial stock was $250,000, and floated at the time of its income to put it in a position to carry light and water projects. Theern California Savings Bank Angeles acquired control of issue, and finally foreclosed Riverside company, which was to meet its indebtedness. The sale of the right to ther for the six and a half riparian was made to the two water banks by the Southern California bank. As a result of the Ana and Anaheim control the distribution waters of the Orange county, a few of the six and a half miles of water on the river with experience $50,000. The slight reservation the transaction is for the use river waters for riparian lands. The Pacific Light and Post Company, to which the right of ther waters for generating e has been sold, has succeeded ventures of the old Riverside in the development of electricity along the river. Directors of both companies been in Los Angeles this week pleting the details of the tra which will mean a largely add ply of irrigating water to the copious streams, which are tributed to nearly 40,000 acres ard lands.

BASE OF WATER RIGHTS Irrigators Extending Their Usefulness In the River Above Rincon Important purchase of water in the Santa Ana river has been made by the Anaheim Union Water and Santa Ana valley irrigation, which this week acquired assets of the Riverside Water and Company in the waters of the Rincon. Holdings extend six and one-thirds along the banks of the river. Price is reported to be $100,000.

The company's capi-was $250,000, and bonds were the time of its incorporation in a position to carry out its water projects. The South-Tall-Grass Editors in Annual Outing Hold Business Session in Los Angeles, Visit Venice, San Pedro Harbor and New Beach Towns The Southern California Editorial Association held a two-days' session on Saturday and Sunday and experienced much pleasure as well as gaining much valuable information in swinging around the various old and new beach towns that beautify the southern coast. The association assembled in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, at the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce, and held an interesting business session occupying the entire day. At 5 o'clock electric cars were taken for the new beach town of Venice, which was found to be a veritable wonderland of delight. A banquet was served on the ship hotel, at which 150 editors and their wives sat down. Later a visit was paid the various show places, including the auditorium, Midway and other points of interest.

Returning to Los Angeles at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning a visit was paid the office of the Times, including the press and composing rooms, which throbbed with energy at the hurculean task of issuing a metropolitan newspaper. Gen. Otis welcomed the guests affably and shook hands cordially with the scribes from the rural districts. On Sunday the editors gathered in Mr. Huntington's big railway building at Sixth and Main streets, and under the personal guidance of Advertising Agent Kneedler and his assistant, Capt. Kelly, both of whom were formerly newspaper men, the association was taken to San Pedro in two of the company's private cars. At the harbor town a ride was enjoyed in the steamer Warrior about the inner and outer bay. At 12:30 an elaborate luncheon was served at the rooms of the San Pedro chamber of commerce, following which speeches were made by a number of the party. The addresses of Senator Savage and A. L. Selig of the Edison company, who with his wife was an invited member of the party, were notable examples of oratory. Following San Pedro came trips to Long Beach, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, where short stops were made. At Huntington Beach the party was taken in carriages for a forty-minute ride to the celery fields. The ladies pinned carnations and tiny silken badges bearing words of welcome to coat lapels, and proved themselves, as well as the men folks, to be hospitable entertainers. A number of ladies were taken with the party as guests to Newport Beach and return. At Newport Beach the party was met by Deacon Peabody, himself a former newspaper man, and a committee of welcoming citizens, and shown the beauties of the bay and surroundings. A record-breaking whirl to Los Angeles, thirty-eight miles from Newport Beach, was the next feature of interest.

A record-breaking whirl to Los Angeles, thirty-eight miles from Newport Beach, was the next feature of interest. Arriving in the metropolis, the party broke up, some taking cars for out-of-town points, others going to hotels for the night and a number forming theater parties, attending the various places of amusement. On being called to order on Saturday morning upwards of 100 editors and their wives were found to be present. J. P. Baumgartner of the Long Beach Press, presided; Edgar Johnson of the Fullerton Tribune, the efficient secretary of the association, announced the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies would send messages free to members during the session. Harry Williams of the Whittier News was appointed assistant secretary, and a most interesting and instructive program ensued, as follows: “Science and Ethics of Advertising” —J. P.

Here the government during the past seven years has expended three millions of dollars in constructing a breakwater 9000 feet in length. The task has been a prodigious one, but success is crowning the efforts of the government to here construct one of the great harbors of the continent. The breakwater will be extended 3000 feet beyond its present length. It is a gigantic undertaking, and means much, not only to the harbor town, but to all of Southern California. Returning to the town the members were escorted to the rooms of the chamber of commerce, where an elaborate luncheon was served. The harbor town did itself proud. W. C. Hogaboom welcomed the scribes. Response was made by Mr. Fleming. Senator Savage spoke in his usual spirited style, and then A. L. Selig of the Edison company electrified the throng with an oration upon the Press which will long ring in the ears of its auditors. Henceforth Mr. Selig must take rank with the orators of this coast.

At Long Beach a stop of half an hour was made, during which the association was entertained by the citizens of that city. Huntington Beach was given forty minutes. Here carriages were provided for a drive about the country, and a delegation of ladies presented members with carnations and silken badges. The journey was renewed to Newport Beach, where a brief stay was made, and then the return trip to Los Angeles. Here the party broke up, after two days of strenuous but never-to-be forgotten experiences: A deed has been recorded transferring 160 acres adjoining Modjeska's home, "Arden," in Santiago Canyon, to Mme. Modjeska. The former owner was the Southern Pacific company, and the piece of land will be included in the actress's home recently made to Leopold Moss of Chicago. The committee in charge of soliciting funds for the right of way for the Pacific Electric line between Orange and Santa Ana via Grand avenue has secured pledges to date for $7000. This amount will be inadequate to secure the desired concessions, but the committee has gone to work with renewed vigor to get the remainder of the cash. It is realized that the money must practically all be raised in Orange and the contiguous territory, as it is that section which will reap the benefit from the coming of the trolley. Prof. S. M. Tracy, special agent of the department of agriculture, has been inspecting conditions in the peatlands with a view of determining what kind of fertilizer is best adapted to the needs of that peculiar soil. Prof. Tracy recommends the planting of burr clover, the plant to be plowed under before it seeds. It has been found necessary to commence fertilizing in several sections of the peat country on account of the heavy crops which have been raised year after year without rotation.
