CELERY GROWERS PROTEST Growers Adopt Resolutions Against "Arbitrary, Unjust and Unreasonable" Increase in Charges The celery growers of Smeltzer are up in arms against the advance in freight rates on the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe on vegetables, and recently an indignation meeting of the celery growers was held at Wintersburg, with the result that strong resolutions were passed, and the celery growers association's selling agent, the California vegetable union, was requested to appear before the Interstate commerce commission in furtherance of the demands for what the growers consider a square deal. About fifty-five celery growers were present at the meeting and the feeling of indignation was unanimous. The following resolution was passed without a single dissenting voice; "First, Resolved, that we, the celery growers of Orange county, in mass meeting assembled, hereby further protest against the arbitrary, unjust and unreasonable advance in freight rates on vegetables from California to eastern points, proposed by Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies. Second, Resolved, that any advance in freight rates, which have prevailed for over ten years, will jeopardize the celery industry of Southern California, which has been built up on the prevailing freight rates." Japan Is Weak The debt of Japan is about 000,000, most of it due to creditors. It draws interest rate of from 4 to 6 per cent. Debt is perhaps about $20 larger than that of the States. It draws two and even times greater interest than the population of Japan is ours, its wealth scarcely our tieth part of ours. Compared with Japan no ing in vain for a little loan 000,000 in Europe, the availi in the United States amounts to nearly $27 This is an increase over a year nearly $100,000,000. Our for the last fiscal year she excess over expenditures of $87,000,000, $37,000,000 more the loan which Japan is va ing to place, or approximately per cent greater increase in cash in our hands than she borrow. Our custom reeves over $330,000,000, and our revenue receipts over $27 That wealth pouring into tury to the extent of over $000 a year, compared with terty of Japan, both as a pe as a government, makes a between the two countries se possible. We are paying in to the soldiers of past w protest against the arbitrary, unjust and unreasonable advance in freight rates on vegetables from California to eastern points, proposed by Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies. "Second, Resolved, that any advance in freight rates, which have prevailed for over ten years, will jeopardize the celery industry of Southern California, which has been built up on the prevailing freight rates. Third. Resolved, that now as the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies own and will control their own refrigerator cars, and with the icing done under their own supervision thereby eliminating the extra expense formerly attributed to the operating under private car lines, and that now all profits in the icing business will accrue to the railroads, we, the growers of about 3090 carloads of celery, demand that the present icing charges be reduced $25 per car. Fourth. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the heads of the freight traffic departments of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe railway companies, and that a copy be also sent to the secretary of the Interstate commerce commission at Washington. Fifth. Resolved, that we request our representatives, the California vegetable union, to appear before the Interstate commerce commission in the furtherance of our protest." The celery crop this year will be fully a month in advance of the crops of previous years in maturing, and every indication goes to prove that the ranchers will reap a golden harvest, particularly those whose celery may be taken for market early in the season. About 5000 acres have been planted. An average crop has been planted, and the growers have succeeded in getting an excellent stand. Weather has been of the kind that is best for celery growing. The product has the bright, waxy color characteristic of a healthy growth and naturally the farmers are elated with the prospects. It is reported that an early market is promised by eastern dealers. Reports from the east are that the Michigan early crop is a failure, with the late crop in fair condition. The Newborrow.

Weather has been of the kind that is best for celery growing. The product has the bright, waxy color characteristic of a healthy growth and naturally the farmers are elated with the prospects. It is reported that an early market is promised by eastern dealers. Reports from the east are that the Michigan early crop is a failure, with the late crop in fair condition. The New York state yield is large and the quality good, but it will be out of the way before the California crop is plentiful. The Colorado output, which is large, will probably all be shipped by Oct. 1. The celery growers association, cooperative, is in a flourishing condition, and reports sent out that a company called the California Celery and Produce company had been formed of members of the Celery Growers association to buck the association seems poorly founded. It is said that but one grower had withdrawn in the last year and that twenty-two have joined the association in that time.

Japan Is Weak Most of Japan is about $1,100,-most of it due to foreign interest. It draws interest at the from 4 to 6 per cent.

The English department will welcome the homecoming of Professor W. Dallam Armes, who has enjoyed a half year at Cambridge. Professor W. J. Raymond, newly returned from an extensive visit among English and German educational institutions, will resume instruction in the department of physics. He returns with a rich store of memories of things seen and heard, and with a strong longing to get back to familiar scenes and tasks. Professor Lawson has spent the past year in work at Washington, D.C., under the auspices of the Carnegie institution, but is now again in Berkeley and is ready to meet his university classes in geology. Several instructors leave this year for other posts. Dr. B. L. Newkirk will become professor of mathematics and mechanics in the University of Minnesota; Mr. J. D. Layman, assistant librarian, will assume charge of the library of the University of Nevada; Professor E. J. Wilczynski will join the department of mathematics at the University of Illinois. A most serious loss will be that of Dr. John Marshall Flint, who has been called to the department of mathematics at the university of Illinois. All the lecture rooms in the Hearst memorial mining building are now ready for the incoming classes, so that the students in this department will be accorded the privilege of studying and experimenting in the finest and most admirably equipped mining structure connected with any educational institution in the world.

The Japanese singly shrewd men in bus-ley understand these matters as we do, and take quite account of these important Coyote Bounty Fresno, Sept. 1—About four hundred farmers of this county have already signed a petition to the board of supervisors, asking that body to offer a reward for the killing of coyotes, which are now doing considerable damage to live stock, especially in the foothill lands. That question will come up before the board this week some time and it is expected that the demand by that time will be universally supported. The statement is made that war upon coyotoes resulting from the general passing of the bounty ordinance in the other counties in the San Joaquin valley has caused the animals to take refuge in this central district, with consequent disaster to the sheep, calves and chickens near here. It is now about fifteen years since there was a coyote bounty offered in this county and the animals have multiplied with little restraint. There is little doubt that the supervisors will take favorable action upon the petition. Those critics of the administration who resent the vigorous prosecution of the Standard Oil company appear to forget that this concern is an old offender whose sins are almost as numerous as the sands of the seashore and whose ability to employ expert legal talent, if not to corrupt prosecuting officers, has enabled it heretofore to escape the consequence of its acts. The purpose of the administration is not to wreak vengeance but to demonstrate to the Standard, and to other great Hospitality Abroad. Hospitality has long been reckoned among the virtues of this nation, but how very virtuous Americans are in this respect is probably not realized even by them till they go to other countries and experience the hospitality offered there. Of course, the Englishman, being our own flesh and blood, is given to hospitality almost up to the American standard, although "come and lunch with me" is apt to be the extent of his invitation to a male American on the other side. The American in Paris knows that foreigners receive few invitations to breakfast or dinner from the Parisian French people do a good deal of entertaining, but it is largely confined to the circle of their relatives, among whom a degree of devotion exists that Americans can hardly understand. In Italy a cup of afternoon tea marks the wildest flight of hospitality that the visiting American is often asked to consider. An amusing story is told of an Italian aristocrat—a very great man—inviting a German nobleman to come and drink coffee after dejeuner!
