WASHINGTON LETTER [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Washington, D. C., July 14. There were many exciting moments during the closing hours of congress, but probably no incident created more consternation than the disclosure that the appropriation of $3,000,000 for the purchase of the site for the proposed new department buildings had got into the sundry civil bill after it had been stricken out of the public buildings bill. This startling discovery was made by Secretary Root after the bill had been signed by the president and had become a law. No one seemed to know who inserted the provision in the sundry civil service bill, but the news that it was there spread like wildfire from one end of the capitol to the other. As soon as Speaker Cannon heard about it he called a few of his trusty aides and to them he made a few remarks that almost burned a hole in the paper of the Congressional Record. While they hurried about the house the excitement in the senate started. Although every senator was sweltering from the hot weather and pretty much exhausted from the strain of work, they all made plain the fact that they were in no humor to be trifled with. The only way out of the muddle was to repeal that section of the bill containing the objectionable appropriation. No one had time to inquire who placed it in the bill. The thing to do was to get it out. So a joint resolution was quickly put to pass through red tape enough before it reached the comptroller cost the government fifty dollars; the many papers pertaining to it peared much like one of the big titions sent to congress. No will deny that after such great pense it was well that the comptler saved the government the cents. In order to restore public confidence at home as well as abroad the canned meat products of American packing institutions, Secretary Wilson of the department of culture will make a personal tour of the packing plants, starting a week, to see for himself that these spectors are doing their duty that everything is as it should be "I will be on this work until late the autumn" said the secretary. "Not one packing plant, no man how large or how small, will miss inspection. The people may rest assured that the law will be thoroughly enforced. The civil service secured for us about one hundred new inspectors and fifty more coming. Most of them understated their business and I look for results." Secretary Wilson is of the opinion that the new law is fully adequate and will insure absolute purity of cleanliness of meat from pasture package. The federal stamp will upon each can, thus guaranteeing the healthfulness of the animal insuring that the product was pared in absolutely sanitary roundings. Therefore, from now any meat product bearing the government stamp will be fit for work, they all made plain the fact that they were in no humor to be trifled with. The only way out of the muddle was to repeal that section of the bill containing the objectionable appropriation. No one had time to inquire who placed it in the bill. The thing to do was to get it out. So a joint resolution was quickly put together and passed by the house and rushed over to the senate where it was promptly agreed to. The country had been saved three millions of dollars, for a time at least, and all this was due to the watchful eye of the secretary of state. Shall Washington become a commercial and manufacturing center or shall it remain a strictly residential city? These are two questions agitating the tax-payers of the national capital, who are divided into factions on the subject. One side argues that Washington should be like Paris—a residential and manufacturing city combined. The other faction claims that manufacturing plants would mar the beauty of Washington by the placing of unsightly factory buildings, destroy the fine streets by heavy truck wagons and change the whiteness of the public buildings by smoke and soot. Even with the strict smoke law now in force, the many beautiful stone buildings are becoming blacker each year from the smoke of the necessary illuminating plants and the few manufacturing places already located in the district. This is the principal argument used by those who wish to preserve the beauty of the capital, to show what would be the result if other plants were granted concessions to locate in Washington. However, those who want to hear the whir of machinery and see the belching of smoke from tall chimneys are losing no time in doing all they can to make Washington a manufacturing city. Polytechnic School The California polytechnic school is a state institution established San Luis Obispo under an act of legislature of 1901. The governor of the school is vested in a board trustees, consisting of the governor and superintendent of public instruction as ex-officio members, and five persons appointed by the governor for a term of four years. The school is located one and half miles north of the center of city of San Luis Obispo, on a ground commanding a beautiful view of town and valley. The purpose of the school is to furnish to young people of sexes mental and manual training the arts and sciences, including culture, mechanics, engineering,iness methods, domestic economy and such other branches as will the student for the non-professional walks of life. The school aims to supply art which is felt not only in California but also in every other state in Union. That need is an institute which will give boys and girls training in the arts and science which deal particularly with co-operation—the life of the home, the orchard, the dairy, and the farm. In this present day, when science doing so much to unravel their theories concerning plant and animal life, it is important that the provide a school where the fact principles unfolded by science be demonstrated to the boy and girl. is the principal argument used by those who wish to preserve the beauty of the capital, to show what would be the result if other plants were granted concessions to locate in Washington. However, those who want to hear the whir of machinery and see the belching of smoke from tall chimneys are losing no time in doing all they can to make Washington a manufacturing city. If there was ever a government official in Washington who was mad through and through the comptroller of the treasury was that man one day of last week. His wrath was all due to the fact that the American Express company had presented a bill to the government for the sum of one dime to cover the cost of procuring the signature of an army officer for acknowledging the receipt of a package sent him by the war department, upon which the transportation had already been paid. The comptroller put his foot down good and hard when the case was presented to him, and in refusing to consider the claim took occasion to remark in official language that he considered the charge a case of unadulterated nerve, as anyone knows that an express company is in duty bound to obtain the signature of a consignee without the payment of a single cent. The claim for ten cents probably which deal particularly with co-life—the life of the home, the orchard, the dairy, and the farm. In this present day, when science doing so much to unravel the teries concerning plant and animal life, it is important that the provide a school where the facts principles unfolded by science be demonstrated to the boy and who will return to their home make its life more attractive, livable and more remunerative. The age of entrance to the school is placed at fifteen years, because is believed that as a rule children younger than this can not do theious kind of work which the demands, and because students ing to the school must have previous training equivalent to covered by the usual grade course. Moreover, the major children leave school when have completed the grammar gree. The chief reason for so doing they either wish to, or must do thing to earn a living. This is ticularly true in country com-mities where there are no schools teach the things pertaining do to farm life. It is the child the country, therefore, who need an institution of the kind planned; and to accommodate at the most opportune period are admitted at the average finishing the grammar school. School Census Figures A comparison of the school census returns from the larger cities and towns of Southern California, exclusive of Los Angeles, will be of interest. It includes all towns reporting as many as 400 children of school age (5 to 17 years). A comparison of the figures for 1905 and 1906 appears as follows: 1906 1905 Pasadena...5,146 4,549 San Diego...4,379 4,151 Long Beach...4,112 3,324 Riverside...2,926 2,843 Santa Barbara...2,403 2,202 San Bernardino...2,377 2,364 Santa Monica...2,276 1,857 Redlands...2,181 1,909 Santa Ana...1,675 1,656 Pomona...1,670 1,639 San Pedro...916 863 Ontario...863 838 Whittier...814 740 Colton...740 709 Orange...691 622 Ventura...669 664 Anaheim...659 664 Needles...596 443 Oxnard...570 539 Alhambra...566 449 South Pasadena...529 488 Monrovia...521 485 Corona...521 464 Figuring on a uniform basis of four people to each child of school age the population in round numbers would be as follows: Pasadena...20,600 San Diego...17,500 Long Beach...16,400 Riverside...11,700 Santa Barbara...9,600 San Bernardino...9,500 Santa Monica...9,100 Redlands...8,700 Santa Ana...6,700 Pomona...5,700 San Pedro...3,600 Ontario...3,500 Whittier...3,200 Colton...3,000 Orange...2,800 Ventura...2,700 Anaheim...2,600 Needles...2,400 Oxnard...2,300 Alhambra...2,300 South Pasadena...2,100 Big Realty Deal The La Habra Land and Water company has purchased 1700 acres of mesa land at Newport Beach, including one mile of bay front on the northerly side of the beach for a consideration of $200,000. The transfer includes the sale of a considerable acreage of water bearing lands which lie in much the location with regard to Newport Beach as do the water bearing lands north of this city lie with reference to Long Beach. Water will be developed immediately and a system established for supplying water to the whole of this tract as well as to the property of the Orange County Improvement association, which is adjoining. The new company, which is composed of Long Beach people, will take steps to bring in a dredger to dredge out the channel of the Santa Ana river, which lies between the two tracts, making it navigable. The earth removed from the river will be used for filling in the low lands to grade, which will result in reclaiming probably 100 acres of land which is waste land at the present time. Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y.
