Clover of the News of Los Angeles was in close touch with members of the Southern California Editorial association during their semi-annual meeting the past week by fraternizing with them freely, reading a very interesting paper at the business session on Saturday, and responding to a toast at the Venice meeting the same evening. Mr. Clover comes from a school of journalists which has given the country some of its ablest and brightest minds, and which has graduated not a few "country editors" whose names are known throughout the land. Of engaging personality, keen witted and a high order of mental equipment, he not only made stanch friends among members of the rural press, but, what is perhaps more important to himself, stamped himself as the man to make a success of his new been lately putting on the front a libel suit, in which heavy ages are sought to be asked against him, his position in matter will be made clear. Place is held open for him by greesman Smith, but it is doubted whether he returns. Is to be regretted, for his Watton letters had come to be an interesting feature of his paper. By the way, Mr. Clarke brought out an excellent point in his dress at Saturday's meeting, he advised rural editors of the of their acting as correspondence city dailies. Why should a try editor, publishing a paper a week, seek to make of his job a mirror of what he has all written for the daily? That been our position from the We have had many offers to respond for Los Angeles papers our invariable custom has been decline them. We paid a brief visit to Northerthe other day and found H.

Of engaging personality, keen witted and a high order of mental equipment, he not only made stanch friends among members of the rural press, but, what is perhaps more important to himself, stamped himself as the man to make a success of his new journalistic venture, the bright and scintillant Evening News. How often do we find metropolitan newspaper folk looking down upon the lowly rural molder of public opinion! They look contemptiously upon him, belittleing his effort and characterizing him as the latest thing in false alarms; when as a matter of fact many of these rural roosters have themselves graduated from big city shops which would not for a moment tolerate some of these city chaps we have in mind. Whereas they charge the countryman with cribbing his news from their columns, we can prove that some of the pretentious metropolitan dailies not so very far away purloin more news from his columns in a month than he can possibly acquire from them in a year. Far be it from us to deride the puissant virtues of the daily press. Thomas Jefferson said as between a free press and a free country, he preferred the former. The metropolitan daily is doing, and will continue to do, a great work in uplifting mankind, in enlightening the people, and making the world a better and a happier one to live in. What should we do without them? Yet similarly might we add, where would you get off without the country editor, molder of opinion in the tall-grass back country? Echo answers, where? More of the spirit shown by Mr. Clover would conduce to bring in getting his paper to press, as it was with news of momentary his vast body of intelligent realism. Like many another man of his tion, Mr. Truitt is waiting anxiously to learn what is to become of locality when Los Angeles sets itself up in a consolidated city county government. That walk will be set off from the international county, they confidently expect that they will be taken into proposed county of Pomona, doubt; that they will ultimately come a part of Orange county, freely admit. Mr. Truitt pre- however, to remain in Los Angeles county as it is, but as that sort out of the question, in view of coming city and county consolation, he might just as well rise up his mind to annex himself to his people to this gem county on south. It is twenty-five miles Norwalk to Pomona, by way Brea Canyon, while it is only teen miles to the county seat this county. Sentiment throws out Norwalk and Artesia is favorable to coming into this county. The sections resolutely oppose going to Pomona county. Later it may be well for committees of theious chambers of commerce to Editor Trouitt and his people visit with a view to inviting them to join issues with us when Angeles casts them off. Norwalk is a rich and productive section would look well in Orange county. We had the pleasure of last week from G. D. Plato off desto, formerly for many years leading merchant of this city. Plato is on a tour of Southernifornia, accompanied by his new Miss Elias, and stopped at Aheim to visit familiar scenes about and to renew old acquaintances. a better and a happier one to live in. What should we do without them? Yet similarly might we add, where would you get off without the country editor, molder of opinion in the tall-grass back country? Echo answers, where? More of the spirit shown by Mr. Clover would conduce to bring newspaper men in town and country nearer together, would tend to the betterment of the publications, big as well as little, and would free some metropolitan editors of at least one cardinal taint attaching to them. The top of the morning to Mr. Clover and success to his lusty youngster, the News. EDITOR CLARKE of the Riverside Press has come back from Washington, where he went last December to act as secretary to Congressman Smith. He will probably not return. Mr. Clarke accepted the position, in the first place, conditioned upon his liking for the work cut out for him; and it seems that the perfume of the orange blossom appeals more dearly to his heart than the unenviable existence of an overworked secretary at the national capital. Moreover, Mr. Clarke's business is such that he hesitates longer to absent himself from it, and when it is known that he has We had the pleasure of a last week from G. D. Plato of desto, formerly for many years leading merchant of this city. Plato is on a tour of Southern California, accompanied by his mistress Elias, and stopped at aheim to visit familiar scenes about and to renew old acquaintances. He found many improvements, as well as many old-friends who were heartily glad meet with this sterling representative of Central California. Mr. Plato says his section of state has recently completed irrigation works patterned after those of Southern California, are now enjoying a period of widespread prosperity. He lives around the corner from Congressman Naham, whose virtues he extols highly, and who it will be remembered made his first speech at his nomination in this city. Needham was nominated in Oran county and has many friends acquaintances here. Mr. Plato conducted a dry goose and grocery establishment in Aheim some twenty-five years ago and was eminently successful. He still in his prime, enjoys excellent health and looks as if prosperous has been camping on his trail. Mr. he live long and prosper!

THAT NOR- HEAD AND ROBINSON Newspapers at the county seat and elsewhere in Orange county have given some attention to politics of late, and Artist Hollingworth has cartooned one candidate in an active chase of a nomination for supervisor. We believe Mr. Hollingworth has other objects of attack for his facile pen, and they will be produced in these columns soon. But this is not what we started out to say. Mr. Hollingworth's work speaks for itself, and is making a hit. What we desire to say at this time is this: We have noted with no little interest the laudation, in the democratic county paper? Of two office holders who are candidates for renomination, and whose praises are loudly sung in season and out by their partisan press, but who are about as dead politically as men usually get this side of Salt river. Those men are District Attorney Head and Tax Collector Robinson, both of whom are of the cult who never let go. Mr. Head will be remembered by the average Santa Ana voter as the man who assisted his father in holding up the chamber of com­merce of that city for an exorbi­tant price for right of way for the electric railway. His action in the Moeller poisoning case, which he failed to investigate, excites the Mr. Head will be remembered by the average Santa Ana voter as the man who assisted his father in holding up the chamber of commerce of that city for an exorbitant price for right of way for the electric railway. His action in the Moeller poisoning case, which he failed to investigate, excites the caustic criticism of every one at West Anaheim, and his recent side-stepping to evade the prosecution of another felony charge proves him to be altogether unfit to fill the office of public prosecutor. As to Mr. Robinson there is this to be said concerning him. He wears a hand-painted undershirt, and that is enough of Robinson. These two office-holders are slated for a ride upon the toboggan. They will likely enough be nominated by the democratic convention, but if they are not each of them buried under a thousand majority for their opponents, we miss our guess. Let the procession proceed. Potato Blight The identity of the disease that came upon the fields of tomatoes at the close of the last season has been determined by Prof. Smith at Whittier. It is the true potato blight. With a disease attacking the tomato soon after planting and another wiping out the vines and fruit later, the business of tomato growing is truly beset. It is of some value to know the identity of a plant disease, but the difficulty of control remains, and unless an available remedy is discovered for this one, or the climatic conditions become better this succulent vegetable will become very scarce upon the markets. The best means of reducing potato blight is by the use of Bordeaux mixture, and our growers will have to resort to this unless the disease becomes The pleasure of a call from G. D.

The best means of reducing potato blight is by the use of Bordeaux mixture, and our growers will have to resort to this unless the disease becomes less prevalent from natural causes. The ordinary potato blight has not been generally known as an enemy of the tomato. This plant is so closely allied to the potato, however, that there is nothing to prevent its attack. The tomato has at least three fungus diseases of its own and one bacterial malady—the wilt—so common in this state. Indeed the tomato is subject to ills from the time the tiny leaflets appear in the seed bed till the frost gets it in the fall or winter. And they are nearly all killing evils. There is only one consolation to be drawn from the multiplicity of diseases that are attacking certain of our agricultural products and that is very poor consolation. The growers who are willing and able to put up a strong fight against these adversities may expect better prices for their crops. From now on it will be a neck and neck race between science and applied sense on the one hand and disease on the other as to the production of many of our staple fruits and vegetables. The contest will be very one-sided unless the $1 Will Start an We are prepared to carways. FIRST. A non-inwrite your check. SECOND which we will pay 4 perreckoned twice yearly, ading. THIRD.

Houck, Second Vice President John Hartung, Cashier A fight for possession of $30,000 worth of real estate is behind a divorce suit filed by Mrs. Jeanette A. Woods of Huntington Beach against John Woods. The plaintiff alleges cruelty as the ground of her action, making Mrs. Cora Hearn, Mrs. Mary E. Levering and Samuel Hearn co-defendants with her husband. It is charged by Mrs. Woods that her husband until recently the possessor of $30,000 worth of real estate, upon learning of her contemplated action for divorce, deeded the property to his daughter, Mrs. Lavering, and to others. She wants the court to give her a lawful share of the property, as it was held by her husband before the divorce action was commenced. If necessary, she says, she will prosecute the suit against the parties who are now the record owners of the realty. Mrs. Woods alleges that they are merely holding the land until the termination of the divorce proceedings, then intending to deed it back to her husband.
