HIGHWAY COMMISSION It is announced that petitions will soon be in circulation for signatures asking the supervisors to appoint three highway commissioners to map out roads to be paved in Orange county and to prepare plans and estimates of cost of work. Nothing has been heard of the good-roads committee of education for a month or more. At the time of the Buena Park meeting it was given out that meetings would be held in the near future at Garden Grove and Orange for discussing the subject of bonding the county for paved thoroughfares. Since then nothing has been heard of these other meetings, and if any such have been held the fact has escaped us. Now it is stated petitions will soon be out for signatures, and we may expect the matter to be brought before the supervisors at an early date. Only 10 per cent MENACE TO DRIED FIRE The Pacific Coast dried industry represents an annual turnover of more than millions of dollars; that investment which produces the turn is enormous goes without arguing. The Food and Drugs act 30, 1906, popularly known National Pure Food law, other things provided for mission to make rules and tions for the carrying out Act. This commission met York in September, 1906, to regulate such regulations. Priority issuance thereof, the commission invited interested persons to pear and offer suggestions by oral argument as to the merger in which the various provisions of the Act should be covered by the regulations. To facilitate hearing, the commission gated the various questions separate heads; such as branding," "use of preservatives etc. The California grower packers of dried fruits sent sentatives to these hearings expense of which was whole by the packers) who filed, usually argued an extensive question of sulphuring fruits, and asked that the Since then nothing has been heard of these other meetings, and if any such have been held the fact has escaped us. Now it is stated petitions will soon be out for signatures, and we may expect the matter to be brought before the supervisors at an early date. Only 10 per cent of the voting strength of the county is necessary as signatures to these petitions, and this, it is conceded, may be readily secured. The appointment of commissioners, it should be pointed out, is a matter of the utmost importance, and the supervisors should move with cautious discernment in their selection. A number of cheap political grafters in various parts of the county have been exerting what influence may be brought to bear upon the selection, and some of these men have been foremost among the advocates of paved roads. The selection of any such person would merely indicate that the supervisors do not want the bond issue to carry, for their appointment would kill the project beyond all hope of redemption. Our position upon this bond issue is precisely as it was at the beginning of the agitation: We feel the sentiment in favor of bonding the county to permit Santa Ana to pay off her political obligations is altogether too insignificant to put the county to the expense of holding a bond election. But the naming of cheap political touts wearing the Southern Pacific collar to a place upon the commission would practically bury the measure before the voters had a chance to kill it. Had Japan secured an indemnity of one hundred millions from Russia and another so much from thoroughfares. "use of preservatives etc. The California grower packers of dried fruits sent sentatives to these hearing expense of which was whole by the packers) who filed, sally argued an extensive but the question of sulphuring fruits, and asked that the sulphur be permitted as a cide and preservative, provide amount of sulphur dioxide cipitated sulphurous acid) raising in the fruit, did not 250-1000, or 4 of 1 per cent; permits 450-1000; Switzerland 1000. In the arguments made support of this demand, the object was as fully covered possible at a hearing when time given was of necessity restricted. The California Promotion committee has just been informed a ruling has been formed signed by the secretary of state, and is about to be public limiting the amount of sulphur dried fruit to 35-1000 per This decision was to become immediate and hold until 1912. At the earnest quest of a large number of ested persons, the governor State of California telegraphed the president, the secretary, riculture, the secretary of mercy and labor, and the secrethof the treasury, asking th publication of this decision be held until such time as Cal could send a representative heard on the subject. If thecision were to become a would mean the practical dition of the dried fruit industry this state, so far as peaches cots, bleached Thompson bleached Sultana raisins, years and Ruby prunes, Had Japan secured an indemnity of one hundred millions from Russia and another of as much from China, at conclusion of her war with that country, probably the Mikado had tried ere this to pluck a feather from the glorious bird of freedom. But being financially bankrupt, staggering as he is under a colossal indebtedness, the Jap is in no position to sign articles with your Uncle Samuel. Yet this Jingo palaver in the Mikado’s isle does not make for peace, and Uncle Sam may yet have to trounce the little brown man. Bob Evans threatened to make Spanish the court language in an exceedingly hot place, once upon a time, it will be recalled. He may do the same for the Jap before the doors of the place referred to are permanently closed. Alex Wright reports a very pleasant trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, whither he went to accompany his sister on her journey to her home in Lowell, Mass. He visited the petrified forest, and found many interesting sights in that modern wonderland. At Flagstaff snow lay upon the ground, and Alex had a whiff of real winter weather. TO DRIED FRUITS. Pacific Coast dried fruit represents an annual return of more than sixteen dollars; that the in which produces this revermous goes without say and Drugs act, June popularly known as the Pure Food law, amongugs provided for a com-make rules and regula-the carrying out of the commission met in New September, 1906, to form-regulations.

It is believed that the department can be induced to modify this decision if a hearing is granted enabling our representative to make a full presentation of the facts; and as there was no time to be lost, Mr. Griffin, one of the representatives at the original hearing above referred to, has gone to Washington, fully prepared to make such a presentation as will in the opinion of the committee, show that the proposed decision is manifestly ill-advised and unjust, first and foremost from a health standpoint, and second, to this great industry that the fruit growers of California have gradually and at great cost erected. The California Promotion committee, therefore, in the interests of this state would request that growers take this matter up immediately and pass resolutions asking for the careful consideration of this question by the department of agriculture, and that a full hearing thereof be given, wiring a copy of the same to Secretary Wilson of said department at Washington, D. C., and also sending a copy of the resolutions to the headquarters of the California Promotion committee at San Francisco. Prompt action is necessary. "use of preservatives," California growers and dried fruits sent repretent to these hearings (the which was wholly paid bykers) who filed, and oran extensive brief on of sulphuring dried fruit, did not exceed one per cent; France 50-1000; Switzerland 500-the arguments made in this demand, the subs fully covered as was a hearing where the was of necessity greatly California Promotion comjust been informed that has been formulated, the secretary of agricultions about to be published, the amount of sulphur in it to 35-1000 per cent.

C., and also sending a copy of the resolutions to the headquarters of the California Promotion committee at San Francisco. Prompt action is necessary. The honorable Admiral Sakamoto of Mikadoland, rising upon his hind legs, brays as follows regarding the American navy: "Even if the Washington government should decide on a war [with Japan] it is doubtful if the Americans serving in the navy are sufficiently patriotic to fight. American naval officers are brilliant figures at balls and social gatherings, but they are very deficient in professional training and practice. It is too much to expect a burning patriotism in the American naval service in case of war with Japan. It is very likely that most of the crews would desert and leave the ships." Sakamoto's language is insulting and offensive, and will not be tolerated by the American people. The United States has taken little heed of the utterances of these bombastic people, but such words as these can have but one result. If Japan wishes to test the patriotism of Americans, the sooner we get at it the better. Editors are Appreciative The Editorial Association of Southern California at its outing at San Diego and Coronado, June 28-July 1, inclusive, was the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of the members of the association ever held since its organization over twenty years ago. This large turnout of newspaper people is construed as an indication of the general prosperity of all classes of people, representing all kinds of business, now enjoyed by the people of this very prosperous section of our country. On the return trip home over the Santa Fe surf line the members—two hundred and seventy-six strong—appointed a committee to appropriately express their appreciation of courtesies received and through this committee beg leave to issue to the public in such time as California is a representative to be the subject.

It may be seen, therefore, that department of agriculture use of sulphur to 35point, the State of Califorbe compelled to take imicial cognizance of such and every grower in this had sulphured fruit inion, would not only be prosecution, but his should likewise be subject ion, because there is not of sulphured fruit in the On the return trip home over the Santa Fe surf line the members—two hundred and seventy-six strong—appointed a committee to appropriately express their appreciation of courtesies received and through this committee beg leave to issue to the public in general the following statement: First: We have had a most delightful outing. Second: We are indebted— 1. To J. J. Byrne, assistant general traffic manager, to Harold Hart Moore, traveling passenger agent, and to other officials and employees of the Santa Fe Railway System for transportation and other courtesies received. 2.

Owing to the fact of the peculiar construction and operation of the machine, which just skims along the surface of the ground, two horses pull it easier than the hauling of the beet plow usually used in plowing out for topping. These are busy times in and about the big sugar mill, and new men are being employed daily to get everything in readiness to begin grinding beets about August 1. Several carloads of fuel oil are arriving daily, with coke from Durham, Ga., and lime rock from Colton, besides a great quantity of other supplies necessary to the manufacture of diamond crystals from beets.
