The numerous lawsuits that are being filed against the walnut growers of Orange county are a part of a plan of a San Jose firm to levy tribute upon the farmers. About five years ago the Anderson-Barngrover company of San Jose began a suit against the Fullerton Walnut Growers' association for infringement on a patent granted to one Daniel Farrel for bleaching walnuts by the use of a combination of chloride of lime and sal soda, together with an acid which the patentee said should preferably be acetic acid as found in vinegar. The walnut growers contended that since chloride of lime had been in use for bleaching, either alone or in combination with sal soda for at least 100 years, and that as all chemists knew that the addition of any acid would liberate the chlorine more rapidly and consequently cause more rapid bleaching, there could be no valid patent posterous suits must end bring victory to the farmer. When this walnut suit begun the threatened assoc came together and agreed one another to defend them and as the result five or ciations and some large are standing together. The ciation at Santa Ana at first to pay the Anderson-Barngrover company a royalty, but a concluded that they were for goods that could not ered. They sent delegates of the meetings of the associations, but with usual Ana style of doing business home and made some kind arrangement with the Anderson-Barngrover company. The Anderson-Barngrover evidently do not think anything of value, as they right to use it to the Good association of Fullerton and sold the right to its us ta Barbara county for a sum. The actual fact while the associations used thing similar, they used acid in place of vinegar ate the chlorine rapidly, and an acid that the patentee e said was dangerous to use. Last year some of the ass used a bleaching solution ing only chloride of lime, have been sued for this as that since chloride of lime had been in use for bleaching, either alone or in combination with sal soda for at least 100 years, and that as all chemists knew that the addition of any acid would liberate the chlorine more rapidly and consequently cause more rapid bleaching, there could be no valid patent on the process. Moreover the application for a patent upon the process was rejected by the patent office, the application amended and again rejected until finally a patent was allowed on the eighth application. It is likely there will be an appeal from the decision, and as there are other suits pending it may be several years before a conclusion is arrived at. The Anderson-Barngrover company does not seem to be satisfied to carry on its lawsuits with the associations, but must annoy the farmers wherever possible, and in doing so are not particular as to whom they enter suit against. Two of the parties to suits at Fullerton are not walnut growers and never had a share of stock in the association. Four of the parties sued in Anaheim have not been connected with the association for more than three years, and two of them not for nine years. There is some similarity in these suits to the course pursued by the "Twilight-Patent" syndicate of the 80's, in which our old friends Wall, Jones and Bishop, with an eye to levying tribute upon the orange growers, sought to make them pay burdensome royalty for the privilege of fumigating their orchards. Our readers will recall the "Twilight-Patent" infamy. The late W. M. McFadden, and R. H. Gilman of Placentia, still alive and kicking led the fight against thing similar, they used acid in place of vinegar to rate the chlorine rapidly, and an acid that the patentee said was dangerous to use. Last year some of the asses used a bleaching solution only chloride of lime, have been sued for this ass. No weight is gained by rine bleaching, and no man can be made marketable to the old sulphur method, can any additional price retained, so it is very difficult ordinary walnut grower stand why such enormous were assessed against the L association when the judge for profits received by method which was decided infringement. The walnut growers stand together, as that is the assurance of safety when by such suits. The recent suits against ton farmers included dam bleaching walnuts last year they sold their nut last year bleaching. The man who the patent does not own thus indicating its present procured it for speculative purpose. Walnut growers thou Southern California have c to fight this odious patent ish.

This makes Our readers will recall the "Twilight-Patent" infamy. The late W. M. McFadden, and R. H. Gilman of Placentia, still alive and kicking, led the fight against this precious triumverate; and while the scrap was interesting while it lasted, the patent was finally dissolved by the United States supreme court, which held that a patent upon the actinic rays of light was impossible. This journal took an active part in the fight, on the right side of the case, as our readers will remember. It was threatened with libel proceedings on the part of the triumverate, which saw millions ahead if their patent could be upheld; but we continued the fight, until victory finally came to the growers. The first named of these two patriotic farmers who fought and defeated the Twilight-Patent has gone to his reward. He is entitled to the everlasting gratitude of the orange growers for his glorious warfare in that fight. The other, yet alive to do valiant service for the farmers, has buckled on his armor for another fight to uphold the right. The outcome of these pre- One of the beneficial reasons for the construction of the Yosemite reservoir is observable in the sive day irrigation now piled in this vicinity, night run been cut out. This makes more convenient for the irrigation while at the same time it brings greater revenue to the company. While the reservoir is as yet complete, it has rendered greatance in the time of scarce supply during the summer. In its completed stage, as hitherto said, it will be of infinite value to irrigators. Nor as well as those upon the Soil We regard this reservoir as the biggest things pulled off water company in recent years. The Orange Post, talking about the cost of paved roads, gives this solar-plexus: "At this price a 16-foot roadway costs $211,200 per mile, or $27,456,000 for the [proposed by Prof. Mills], while a roadway would cost $528,000 per mile 640,000 for the 130 miles." Stop it! Stop it! We have Post will get well! It was rumored in town that W. B. Hutchinson, who rested in Arizona for smuggling been sentenced to twenty prison. its suits must eventually factory to the farmers. In this walnut suit was first the threatened associations together and agreed to help rather to defend their rights, the result five or six assos and some large growers团结 together. The asso at Santa Ana at first agreed with the Anderson-Barngrover by a royalty, but afterwards that they were paying that could not be delivered they sent delegates to some meetings of the defendant cons, but with usual Santa Ana of doing business went made some kind of an agreement with the Anderson-Barngrover company. Anderson-Barngrover Co. may do not think they have value, as they sold the use it to the Golden Beltion of Fullerton for $300, the right to its use in San-ara county for a nominal actual fact is that, the associations used somewhat, they used sulphuric place of vinegar to liber-chlorine rapidly, and this is what the patentee especially dangerous to use. Clear some of the associations teaching solution contain-chloride of lime, and they sued for this as well. THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY Every unprejudiced observer of the present administration must regard with admiration the marked change in administrative methods which President Roosevelt has introduced. The president is a firm believer in the advantages to be derived from personal observation and contact with the people. He has therefore urged the members of his cabinet whenever possible to leave their desks and go themselves to the scenes of their respective operations in order that they might acquire a more practical knowledge of the affairs with which they are called upon to deal than is possible where all information is gained from intermediaries. It is in accordance with this policy that the secretary of the interior has just completed an extensive trip which has taken him into practically every western state. Secretary Garfield has visited the forest reserves, the land offices, the irrigation projects, and has come into the closest contact with the people who will be most affected by his adminisrative acts, and it is certain that the information which he has acquired will be more accurate and trustworthy than that which ordinarily reaches cabinet officers through members of congress, whose views are more than often biased by political consideration and expedi- they used sulphuric place of vinegar to liberate chloride of lime, and they sued for this as well. Right is gained by the chloching, and no more nuts made marketable than by sulphur method, neither additional price be obsolete it is very difficult for the walnut grower to under-lying such enormous damages passed against the Fullerton when the judgment was received by using a which was decided to be an amendment. Walnut growers should all together, as that is their only use of safety when attacked suits. Recent suits against Fullerton included damages for walnuts last year when their nuts last year without. The man who obtained it does not own it now, excluding its present owners it for speculative purposes. Growers throughout California have combined his odious patent to a fight will be taken to the states supreme court if nec-The motto of the growers cons for defense; not a cent ee."

This makes it far most affected by his administrative acts, and it is certain that the information which he has acquired will be more accurate and trustworthy than that which ordinarily reaches cabinet officers through members of congress, whose views are more than often biased by political consideration and expediency. Gifford Pinchot, chief forester, who has been often charged with being a theorist, has also, upon the president's suggestion, spent his summer in the national forest country. Judge Ballinger, commissioner of the general land office, has visited most of the local land offices. It is one of the policies of President Roosevelt that he always wants his in formation as nearly first hand as he can possibly get it. For instance, he asked Secretary Root last summer, to visit the countries of South America in the belief that a more intimate acquaintance and a closer familiarity with the problems which confront our neighbors to the south would make for more friendly relations and greater success in any diplomatic negotiations which may arise. The same purpose actuated the president when he asked Secretary Taft to go to the Philippines and open the Philippine assembly. It is the hope of the president and of Secretary Taft that the Philipinos may gradually be educated to a point where they can successfully govern themselves. To that end they have been granted an assembly, every act of which may be vetoed by the Philippine commission, which will continue to be appointed by the president. This assembly they believe will enable the Philipinos to learn self-government. Mr. Taft goes there first to observe the progress which has been made in the islands since he left there, two years ago, and secondly to impress upon the people the responsibilities which devolve upon them as a result of the measure of self-government which the beneficial results of construction of the Yorba res-observable in the excluirrigation now practiced vicinity, night runs having out. This makes it far venient for the irrigators, the same time it brings in revenue to the company.

The city tax rate stands increased 40 cents on the hundred. This is because the bond issue for the munipal work now under way absorbs nearly everything with which it came in contact. In the first place, it laid its tentacles upon a $4000 surplus remaining in the general fund at the close of last year's business, and it has come near sweeping the general fund clean ever since. The bond issue seems to have been characterized by bungling from the start. Now the taxpayers have to pay for it. We presume the work now in hand will be completed, even though a special tax be necessary. For all of this, we pay the learned expert in charge of the works a salary of $2000. Secretary Wilson is making an extended tour of the western states with the purpose of learning the extent to which his efforts to benefit the farmer have been successful, and how best to direct these efforts in the future in order that they may accomplish the greatest good.
