WATCHDOG OF THE TREASURY County Treasurer Potter was in town on Monday shaking hands with his many friends in this section. Mr. Potter was honored by the recent republican county convention with unanimous renomination to the office, and states he hears the most favorable reports as to his candidacy from every precinct in the county. It is admitted that he will sweep this district, where he is perhaps better known than in any other part of the county. Mr. Potter settled in the Centralia district in 1874, and during a continuous residence in the county for thirty-two years there is not a man who can truthfully say that he ever defaulted a penny or made a promise which was not scrupulously fulfilled. His popularity before the people has THAT ATTACK ON LESTER The publication by the Dealer of the ancient chestnut County Clerk Lester paid a money to secure appointment his office four years ago can construed in any other light an attempted assault upon character. Yet this ill-sight and gray-bearded campaign back has been exploded sensively before that there is but very little left of it, a Plain Dealer’s cock-and-bull falls flatly to the ground—flippant pancake. Our esteemed temporary occupies the anon position of claiming to be a public paper and prints the public ticket at the head of itsorial columns, and yet it imits its harmless propensity for ting its knife under the fifth a republican candidate now then, for what purpose it issible to understand. Its upon Mr. Lester is not the its offenses in the present paign, but while its other have been passed by unnoticed brief denial of its latest may dispel whatever doubt have arisen regarding Lester ness for the office for which republican convention placed in nomination. Stripped of its verbiage, the Dealer’s story is that Mr. paid $1, $600 or $1000—it really quite sure which Mr. Potter settled in the Centralia district in 1874, and during a continuous residence in the county for thirty-two years there is not a man who can truthfully say that he ever defaulted a penny or made a promise which was not scrupulously fulfilled. His popularity before the people has been hitherto tested, and he has always been able to show a clean pair of political heels to the enemy. Four years ago he was elected to the important office he now fills, but his democratic opponent, Mr. Joplin, was so keen in his quest for office that he brought an action contesting the election. He charged no irregularities nor illegal conduct on Mr. Potter's part, but merely demanded a recount in the forlorn hope of possibly landing himself into the office for which the people had decisively rejected him. He put his successful opponent to no little expense thereby, but the courte finally ruled that Mr. Potter's election was entirely legal in every way and he has since occupied the office unmolested, although Mr. Joplin refuses to let go and is again a candidate for the office. Through Mr. Potter's hands a vast sum of the people's money has passed since his occupancy of the office, but not a cent has yet to be accounted for. The public need have no fear for the safety of their funds while in the custody of this faithful watchdog of the treasury. He has served a single term as county treasurer, and is entitled to re-election. Mr. Potter's name adds strength and dignity to a ticket which has none but strong men upon it, and we confidently predict that his majority will be over 1000 when the votes are counted on election day. Stripped of its verbiage, the Dealer's story is that Mr. Potter paid $1, $600 or $1000—it really quite sure which board of supervisors for his pointment to the office made cant by the death of the land "Billy" Beckett. Let us see there is in this absurd yarn. Beckett, it will be remembered died four years ago, after being elected to the office of county office, for as he campaigned through the county the shade the Reaper was upon him. His death several aspirants peared for the place, among Mr. Lester. Here is where Plain Dealer's "graft" appears. Supervisor McMullan, who and still is chairman of the speaking for the four republic members of the board, advised several applicants that it would an honorable act upon the plea the successful applicant to burse Mrs. Beckett for the amount of Mr. Beckett's campaign contribution, which amounted, if any, to not at fault, to some like $300. There was no doubt that the money be paid, simply suggestion by Mr. McMullan re-echoed the sentiments, in writing, of republicans the cover. Knowing that the widow been left in circumstances not too alluring, republicans here at Santa Ana and Orange acceded in McMullan's suggestion the same was made with the knowledge and consent of leading relics in these several sections. The Santa Ana Blade has had a fit because we charged Mr. Joplin, democratic candidate for county treasurer, with naming his son after the assassin of Lincoln. The Blade says this is "mud-slinging," and weeps copious and bitter tears at our reference to this really good man. Mr. McPhee need hardly be taken seriously in the matter—not nearly so much as when discoursing upon the more familiar toptic (to him) of leg-pulling. For ourselves, we should infinitely prefer to have a son of ours named John Wilkes Booth Joplin than Horace McPhee. The republican state convention now in session at Santa Cruz, will probably nominate J. N. Gillett for governor today on the first or second ballot. Orange county's fifteen delegates are for the Humboldt man, with the possible exception of a single delegate, who last night was looking for a soft place to fall into the Gillett band wagon. Re-echoed the sentiments, in writing, of republicans the over. Knowing that the widow been left in circumstances not too alluring, republicans here at Santa Ana and Orange acceded in McMullan's suggestion the same was made with the knowledge and consent of leading relicans in these several sections the county. To the credit of applicants, let it be said all diately consented to the plan. Lester was elected, and he turned to Mrs. Beckett the paign contribution made by her husband. It was an able suggestion on the part of Mullan, and was honorably up to by Lester. The story known all over the county years ago. The Plain Dealer to have just found it out. Lester is now the republican nominee for county auditor. He was supported in his honors efforts to secure the clerk's office. Supervisor Linebarger, a democrat is not at all to Lester's disclo. On the contrary, quite the revered Lester is a capable and well-cared young gentleman, proclaimed the most courteous and objectionable who ever filled a place the courthouse. That he honorably reimburse ATTACK ON LESTER Publication by the Plain the ancient chestnut that Merk Lester paid a sum of his secure appointment to our years ago cannot be in any other light than noted assault upon his Yet this ill-smelling bearded campaign roorbeen exploded so effecre that there is really little left of it, and the Merk's cock-and-bull story to the ground—flat as a Our esteemed contemcupies the anomalous claiming to be a repuband prints the repubat the head of its edins, and yet it indulges less propensity for putfe under the fifth rib of an candidate now and what purpose it is imposunderstand. Its attack Lester is not the first of in the present camwhile its other attacks passed by unnoticed, a of its latest canard whatever doubt may regarding Lester's fite office for which the convention placed him on. of its verbiage, the Plain story is that Mr. Lester 600 or $1000—it isn't sure which—to the Mrs. Beckett for her husband’s campaign contribution is to his credit. It should not, and doubtless will not, cost him a vote. We vouch for this young man’s honesty. There is not a squarer man in the courthouse than C. D. Lester, republican nominee for county auditor. CALIFORNIA can hardly be classed as a manufacturing state. The discovery and industrial use of fuel-oil is too recent to show largely in statistical reports, yet in 1900 California ranked next to Connecticut in value of manufactured products, and showed a gain of 50 per cent from 1890. Today the comparison is made between 1900 and 1905, and the tables show a gain of 42.7 per cent in five years. The census report says that "San Francisco, metropolis of the state and Pacific Coast, reported large increases. The number of establishments increased 503, and value of products $30,764,666, or 28.7 per cent. The number of wage earners and wages increased 18 and 44.9 per cent respectively. The value of products manufactured in this city formed 57.5 per cent of the total of the state in 1905 and 41.6 per cent in 1900." This showing is good enough, but may be expected to be continuously better as the opportunities and advantages of California for manufacturing come to be better known. Given our limitless supply of motive power at low cost, and a climate in which the workman’s energies are kept at their highest efficiency, and in which the cost for buildings with good air and suffic- of its verbiage, the Plain ory is that Mr. Lester 600 or $1000—it isn’t sure which—to the supervisors for his apto the office made vadeath of the lamented Bekett.

And density of population depends upon manufacturers. The fourteenth national irrigation congress is in session at Boise, Idaho, this week, with a large attendance from all parts of the United States. Representatives of every state government, of the govern­ment of the United States, delegates appointed by mayors of cities in all parts of the country, representatives of commercial, industrial and financial organizations, of agricultural and horticultural societies, of the various societies of engineers, delegates representing various irrigation companies, immigration societies, etc., and many other prominent persons interested in the subject of irrigation are among those attending the con­gress, which will be in session until September 8th, inclusive. An interesting program has been arranged for the congress. It will embrace a consideration and discussion of the following main features: Saving the forests, storing the floods, reclaiming the deserts, establishing of homes on reclaimed land.
