NEWSPAPER HYSTERIA In the days of the Spanish war, when the good ship Oregon was speeding around the Horn to join the American fleet enveloping Cuba, a certain Los Angeles newspaper whose editorial utterances have lately bordered upon hysteria over the possibility of a Japanese fleet laying tribute upon Pacific Coast cities, was similarly affected at the presence of the Temerario at Montevedeo. We opine most of our readers have long since forgotten all about the Temerario incident, but in order to refresh their memories we may say the Temerario was a Spanish torpedo-boat which unauthenticated reports had it would blow up the Oregon as soon as that and square-rigged American tors. Out upon it! There is very little likelihood a Jap fleet ever entering waters, and so far from their ing troops upon America that is about as idle a threat Weyler's, to land a Spanish in New York and march to Francisco, laying waste the country. A Jap fleet in these steaming three weeks hence Yokohama, would be absolutely our mercy. Without sufficient to make their home trip would be captured or destroyed short order. Let our Los A contemporary calm itself. is in the first place no dark war with the Jap, and in the even if there were, Los Angels Ascot Park would be safe. I contemporary accept our assu to that effect. Meanwhile let work upon Panama canal be pushed with peditious dispatch. In another column will be an article upon the formation the Tri-Counties Refores Committee, which will have object the co-operation with government in the work of esting the mountains of the range. The committee is co-ed of citizens of Orange, Riv presence of the Temerario at Montevedeo. We opine most of our readers have long since forgotten all about the Temerario incident, but in order to refresh their memories we may say the Temerario was a Spanish torpedo-boat which unauthenticated reports had it would blow up the Oregon as soon as that gallant ship drew near the Brazilian port. "Will the Temerario go south to meet the Oregon," queried this hysterical newspaper, "or will she lie in wait in her harbor and destroy our battleship immediately upon its arrival?" About this time this Los Angeles journal printed the remarkable editorial that the American people were "sweating blood" over the fate in store for the Oregon, and it made itself ridiculous in many other ways over the incident. What did Capt. Clark do on entering the Brazilian port? He threw his searchlight down upon the Spaniard, placed her under his ship's forward rifle, and signaled that any attempt at a demonstration on her part would mean her instant destruction. Capt. Clark remained at Montevedeo a day or two taking on coal, and he steamed out of the harbor with colors flying and his guns still leveled upon the Temerario, which turned out to be, like all of Alfonso's vessel, more of a derelict than an instrument of destruction. The Oregon reached Bahia, and taking on added speed in the concluding stages of her world-beating run, was in at the death, so to speak, of the fight at Santiago. Now this Los Angeles paper again borders upon hysteria. It sees a Jap fleet in every shadow, and calls wildly for fortifications bristling all the way from Balboa to Bismarck. "A long fleet could lay off another column will be an article upon the formation of citizens of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties has important work before it question of reforestation is probably the most important note fore the people of these county Reforestation increases rapid denudation produces aridity. Government has adopted a policy of reforestating the mountain it seems the work has been ered by what looks very much fraudulent entries of the public main. For instance, in San Bernardino county a large saw company has been cutting pine trees upon forest reserves we are informed there appear way to stop its destructive Some time ago the mill was stroyed by fire, but arrangements are being made to rebuild it. One mill will work more injurious water supply in a year; the forest service can repair generation, and its re-erasure should be stopped. Orange co-operates fully with San Bernardino and Riverside in this important subject of reforestation. Lieves that instead of permitting lumber companies to denude forests, the policy of the government in reforestering our mount watersheds should be proceed with. The report of the special committee of the San Francisco number of commerce on insurance elements, after the big fire, added speed in the concluding stages of her world-beating run, was in at the death, so to speak, of the fight at Santiago. Now this Los Angeles paper again borders upon hysteria. It sees a Jap fleet in every shadow, and calls wildly for fortifications bristling all the way from Balboa to Pismo. "A Jap fleet could lay off Santa Monica and destroy every building in Los Angeles," observes this oracle; "but they would not necessarily do that. They would send ashore a demand for every dollar in our banks, and we should have to give our money to them in order to save our city from destruction." Indeed! And what would your Uncle Samuel be doing all this time? Having a larger and more powerful navy than that of Japan he would certainly be taking an active hand in the scrimmage. We have no doubt the craven utterances of this Los Angeles sheet are already known in Tokio. What a pusillanimous lot of cowards the Jap must take us to be, to be sure! Small wonder they clamor for war, and give evidence of their hostility, if not contempt, for us in added insults day by day. Let us have an end to this species of newspaper hysteria. It more befits a group of timid women at a tea table than broad-shouldered forests, the policy of the government in reforestering our mount watersheds should be produced with. The report of the special committee of the San Francisco Bay area of commerce on insurance elements, after the big fire, has just been published, says total area burned was about acres, or about 4.7 square miles containing 520 blocks and 25,000 buildings; one-half of were residences. The amount insurance covering property burned district was approximated $235,000,000 (estimated.) This had been written by companies authorized to do business in state, except $6,000,000, which been placed outside of the state some 100 companies. The vast buildings and contents destined in the fire must have been $350,000,000, being an estimate upon the insurance liability known ratio of insurance to [about 70 per cent] and that there was about 7 per cent property that carried no insurance. Hon. Galusha Grow wakely long enough to write a long article on the subject of "The unwritten law."

Congress having assembled the first business taken up was a preparation for the holiday recess. It is apparent that the revised football rules have not hurt the game very much. There were only two less players killed this year than last. After all the preparations that the public printer had been making to take a fall out of Uncle Joe Cannon on the subject of spelling reform, it must have been rather a blow to find himself referred to a stenographer. In the census bulletin issued this week California leads all the states in production of canned and dried fruits. The output of the state for 1905 in these lines is calculated at $21,000,000. Acting under orders issued by Superior Judge West Deputy Sheriff Wilson on Saturday dispossessed Selso Murillo from the property occupied by him for many years on Clementina street. Ownership of the place has been in controversy between Manuel Tapia and Murillo, and the former was last week awarded title to it by the superior court. Shortly after being dispossessed rain fell upon Murillo's household goods, and during the night the same were drenched by the storm.

Ownership of the place has been in controversy between Manuel Tapia and Murillo, and the former was last week awarded title to it by the superior court. Shortly after being dispossessed rain fell upon Murillo's household goods, and during the night the same were drenched by the storm. About midnight several pistol shots were heard in the neighborhood, but investigation by officers revealed the fact that only target practice was being engaged in by one of the parties. George Foltz, a Talbert youth, was fined $50 by Judge Smithwick of Santa Ana on Monday on conviction of simple assault. Foltz was out hunting with a companion, when two Japs passed in a buggy. Foltz fired in their direction and some of the shot lodged in one of the brown men's back. Foltz testified he shot at a blackbird. He paid the fine. A mortgage was filed with County Clerk Lester on Tuesday morning by the Graham-Loftus Oil Co. of Santa Paula on property recently bought from Jacob Stern. The mortgage is for $46,521.24 and covers three notes of $15,507.08 each, payable in one, two and three years. The notes were made out to Thomas R. Bard of Hueneme. This property bought by the oil company is 1315 acres in sections 12, 13, 17 and 18 in the oil country northeast of Olinda. The success of the mining enterprise of the Western Zinc company in the Silverado canyon has caused an increased interest in the mining district about the canyon. Several old claimants have decided to make good their claims in the canyon, though they have done nothing with them for years. Two suits to quiet title to these claims, which had been given up as not worth the suit, have just been filed. The Santa Rosa mining company has filed suit against Thomas J. Flannigan and the Silverado mining company has filed suit against the Blue Light mining company. The western zinc company is sending out several tons of concentrate from the El Modena depot every day. Mrs. L. C. Blake visited with relatives in Los Angeles the for part of the part of the special commission on insurance setter the big fire, which was published, says: The burned was about 3000 square miles, 520 blocks and about one-half of these acres.
