CROWDED PUBLIC SCHOOLS The public-spirited citizens of this school district will be asked this year to vote a special tax of probably $1500 for the employment of another teacher. At present there are 500 pupils in the public schools and ten teachers, each thus having an average of fifty pupils. This is too large a number for good work by the teacher, and places upon children a serious handicap in their effort to learn, which the liberality of our people should instantly remove. The high school, of which we are all very proud, has an enrollment of eighty pupils, for whom seven teachers are provided. This gives an allotment of something under twelve pupils to a teacher, and is doubtless a demonstrable factor in the splendid success which that institution of learn- PRESIDENT AND THE The trouble between the dent and a senate clique discharge of the 25th infadeveloped to a very unusu possibly a serious situation been many years since a pro of the United States was in tion where even a threat peachment would be dared him, and while there idea that the breach betw president and the senate w any such eventuality, still sibility has been hinted a whole thing is a matter of Senators Foraker and Penr have a large colored const and they are bound to tall effect which it will have respective states.

The high school, of which we are all very proud, has an enrollment of eighty pupils, for whom seven teachers are provided. This gives an allotment of something under twelve pupils to a teacher, and is doubtless a demonstrable factor in the splendid success which that institution of learning has achieved in the past. A little of this liberality toward the public schools seems to us an excellent thing to adopt for the lower grade schools. Some of the primary and grammar-grade teachers have sixty pupils, which is just about twice as many as is demanded if proper tuition of the pupil be the object aimed at. Our public schools are growing so rapidly that at least one additional teacher is absolutely necessary, and the principal's duties have become so exacting that he requires an assistant, in order to properly superintend the different grades under his supervision. This is a subject which we shall refer to soon again, and which we think will be dealt with in liberal spirit by our people when it comes finally to be submitted to them. The public schools are the pride of California; and we should not hesitate to give the rising generation a square deal while yet they are at school. People of California are paying tribute to a shrewd little Japanese, Kinya Shima of Stockton. He has cornered the potato market and holds the situation in the hollow of his hand. He will be the virtual dictator of prices until next season; he and the Japanese companies he controls stand to sell their crop for $1,000,000, and Shima will himself clean up $250,000. This is the explanation of the high figures paid Kiinya Chima of Stockton. He has cornered the potato market and holds the situation in the hollow of his hand. He will be the virtual dictator of prices until next season; he and the Japanese companies he controls stand to sell their crop for $1,000,000, and Shima will himself clean up $250,000. This is the explanation of the high figures paid for potatoes for three months past, and explains why they are going higher. They may be "worth their weight in gold" two months hence, so the housewife will require a microscope to find a two-bits' worth package when the grocer makes delivery. The secretary of agriculture says he will be unable to decide for some time to come just what whiskey is. For the purposes of the public it would answer just as well if he could decide what it isn't. The house debated for some time over the proper committees to which to refer the president's message. It finally decided in favor of the committee of the whole. Emperor William has about concluded that the East Africans are a benighted lot of people who don't deserve to be colonized. PRESENT AND THE SENATE Double between the presidence senate clique over the issue of the 25th infantry has fall to a very unusual and serious situation. It has only years since a president United States was in a positure even a threat of impact would be dared against while there is little the breach between the and the senate will have eventuality, still that poshas been hinted at. The thing is a matter of politics. Foraker and Penrose both large colored constituency, are bound to talk for the which it will have in their states. The chances are Foraker and Penrose were they would talk for the the Congressional Record let the matter drop. Most southern members would be the matter drop, because good politics nor to personal liking to keep the action stirred up at fever now is. Moreover, it is they secretly approve the right or wrong. The conservative view of the situat the Foraker resolution passed, and possibly that wittee on military affairs a post-session meeting to the discharge of the a Santa Fe clerk, now in jail on embezzlement charges, furnished the evidence on which the indictments were based. During the period of investigation the grand jury examined many witnesses, and perused records and books of the Santa Fe. Every inch of progress has been contested by counsel for the railroad. It is not known how many indictments have been found by the grand jury, but it is believed a number of true bills have already been prepared, and not only the railroad company is involved, but a number of Los Angeles officials and citizens as well. The grand jury will not cease its efforts to inquire further into the transactions of the Santa Fe, and papers and witnesses will be examined during the coming week. Not many localities afford the panorama of scenic beauty at present beheld in Southern California. The peaks of the coast range north and east are hooded in snow, while beneath the azure line of intervening landscape, the emerald foothills conspire to make as beautiful a scene of natural beauty as one can see this side the Alps. The valley is carpeted with green, and soon the wild flowers of every variegated hue will cover hillside and valley in a panaroma of ecstatic loveliness. Within the folds of the deep green citrus groves nestle the golden globes of fruit, while zanja and mountain creek and river flowing with boisterous streams of water at- now is.

The valley is carpeted with green, and soon the wild flowers of every variegated hue will cover hillside and valley in a panaroma of ecstatic loveliness. Within the folds of the deep green citrus groves nestle the golden globes of fruit, while zanja and mountain creek and river flowing with boisterous streams of water attest the extent of the recent rainfall. Yet all is not given over to the esthetic here in Southern California. All these objects of natural beauty mean money to the farmer, and when the farmer has money times are good. The snowy mantle upon Old Baldy and his associate peaks of the coast range mean water for summer irrigation. It means water seeping into the ground to be later taken up by the hundreds of pumping plants throughout the valley. The green-sloped foothills mean abundant pasturage for cattle, the flowers mean honey for bees. The golden globed oranges bring top-notch prices in the Atlantic market, and the water in creek and river means the replenishment of the underground reservoirs whence our pumps procure their supply. Verily the scene is a lovely one, from whichever standpoint we view it. The Alps may be more entrancingly beautiful in all their scenic splendor, but when it comes to blending natural beauty with the almighty dollar we skin the Swin every time. The annual harvest edition of the California Fruit Grower gives some very interesting statistics regarding the shipments of fruits, vegetables and nuts from California for the season of 1905-06. Putting these statistics into the form of carloads, of 20 tons each, we have the following splendid showing made by the State for the year: Carloads Oranges and lemons...27,610 Canned fruit...9900 Raisins...4500 A Bea In Crocker Goods H.

No other state in the union can come any where near to this output of fruits, vegetables and nuts. California leads and the others follow; and as yet they follow far in the rear. Billy Kretschmer played with the band accompanying the Columbia Marching club of Santa Ana in the Tournament of Roses parade at Pasadena on Tuesday, and helped it win first prize for the best organization in line. John E. Nelson departed last evening for his mine at Kelso, San Bernardino county. He expects to be accompanied by a party of local capitalists who go out to inspect the property with a view to investing. Always Reliable A Happy New Year to all Our Friends and Patrons.
