Good Roads at Riverside San Bernardino Sun. The good roads movement in Riverside county seems to have struck a very disagreeable snag, that is likely to do no end of harm before the craft gets afloat again. By reason of the fact that the city of Riverside is larger than "all outdoors," it comes about that the incorporated cities of the county constitute nine-sixteenths of the assessed valuation. The outside territory constitutes only seven-sixteenths of the wealth of the county. As a result, the city folks are bucking the bond issue, at least there is fear they will, because they will pay such a large percentage of what will be spent on county roads. As a result of the situation the commissioners have held a conference and a public meeting will be called by the chamber of commerce in Riverside to develop sentiment in the city, and ascertain whether bonds are likely to be sandbagged at the election. The commissioners have been over Riverside county and estimate that from 105 to 120 miles will be necessary to construct the main highways that will be required, and that the cost will be from $500,000 to $700,000 for a 16-foot macadam road. Shooting At Buena Park. Charles I. McComber, a well known resident of Buena Park, was shot in the face at his home Thursday night at 6 o'clock, by George White, a ranch hand who had previously worked for McComber. White got away and efforts of officers in the northern end of the county to catch him have failed. The trouble between the two men arose over difficulties concerning wages. Constable Jaynes of Buena Park, informed Sheriff Lacy that he had been out after White, but could not locate Prize for Design and Maker The California promotion offers a prize of $25 for the best of an emblem, and an addition of $10 for the best motto, to more than three words, express the pre-eminence of California committee desires to obtain active and significant emblem catchy, epigramatic motto California's chief character same to be used on letter publications of the committee.

White got away and efforts of officers in the northern end of the county to catch him have failed. The trouble between the two men arose over difficulties concerning wages. Constable Jaynes of Buena Park, informed Sheriff Lacy that he had been out after White, but could not locate him. It is believed that he made his way to Los Angeles. A warrant for White's arrest was taken out at Fullerton. The story of the shooting as reported by La Habra officers, is that McComber was the agressor in the beginning of the fracas. White was formerly employed on McComber's Buena Park ranch, which lies partly in Orange county and partly in Los Angeles county. When he left McComber's ranch to go to the branch ostrich farm in La Habra valley there was some difficulty over the amount of pay. White used some strong language toward McComber and the two came near coming to blows at that time. White returned to the ranch on Thursday evening, when McComber paid him, an altercation ensued, and White shot his former employer. He escaped, and at last accounts had not been apprehended. Taft Talks to Japs. Washington, Oct. 6.—According to reports published here and understood to be based on information from a high official quarter, Secretary Taft, while in Tokio, put squarely up to the Japanese government the point that the government of the United States is resolute in its purpose to accomplish the exclusion of Japanese coolies. He is said to have urged strongly upon Minister of War Terauchi that only by exclusion could dangerous friction be avoided and the perpetuation of the peace be assured. President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Secretary Taft had a thorough understanding as to what Taft was expected to convey to the Japanese government, and it was the President's desire that he make it clear, with a tact and firmness that the decision of this government as to exclusion was unal- upon Minister of War Terauchi that only by exclusion could dangerous friction be avoided and the perpetuation of the peace be assured. President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Secretary Taft had a thorough understanding as to what Taft was expected to convey to the Japanese government, and it was the President's desire that he make it clear, with a tact and firmness that the decision of this government as to exclusion was unalterable. It is further declared that the Secretary of War was instructed to say that a treaty of exclusion was desirable; otherwise that this government would be compelled in self-protection; and to avoid friction on the Pacific Coast, to exclude laborers by act of Congress. The political situation continues to be fraught with interest. No Republican candidate can make that headway because of the feeling that the President may be induced to run again. The President is enjoying this situation to the utmost, both because there is only one candidate whom he desires to make headway and because he foresees an opportunity at the proper minute to turn his own popularity to the good of that candidate. When the proper time comes, Mr. Roosevelt will "sidestep" but he will do it in such a way that the mantle of his strength will fall gracefully onto the broad shoulders of William H. Taft. The baseball season is practically over and the football season is at hand. Parents should take time by the forelock and lay in ample supplies of splints, arnica and sticking plaster.

State Briefs Wesley M. Walden, defaulting county treasurer of Fresno county, was sentenced to seven years in San Quentin. Emotion displayed by the defendant showed that the sentence was far heavier than he had anticipated. The verdict marks the close of one of the most sensational cases in the Fresno courts. Despite the arguments of the counsel for the defense, and an appeal for clemency, the court stated that he could accede to no demands for probation. The fact that the money appropriated by Walden had not been used for himself was advanced as an argument in favor of clemency toward the defendant. The defense stated that the sums taken had been used to cover moneys not accounted for through errors, or loss of stubs. At the close of the trial, Walden was taken to the county jail and in a few days will be taken to San Quentin. A forest fire near Geyser Springs, Sonoma county, burned itself out after raging fiercely over a wide area for two days. The flames came within half a mile of the famous geysers, but owing to the veering of the wind, the well-known resort was spared. The fire started near Anderson Springs in Lake county, and owing to a fierce wind burned with fury, sweeping everything in its path. Anderson Springs, the Eureka and Socrates mines and also the camp at the Little Geysers, were burned. Camp Duchey, on the Mullen place, was burned down. At the Socrates and Eureka mines, everything was destroyed, including buildings, equipment, and even the horses on the place. One of the worst north winds in years has been raging in that section the past few days, and this fact is doubtless largely responsible for the fierce ravages of the fire.

Camp Duchey, on the Mullen place, was burned down. At the Socrates and Eureka mines, everything was destroyed, including buildings, equipment, and even the horses on the place. One of the worst north winds in years has been raging in that section the past few days, and this fact is doubtless largely responsible for the fierce ravages of the fire. Many miles were swept over and everything was burned clean. So far as known no farm houses were destroyed. A special from Sonoma, Cal., says: The forest fire that swept down into Camp Relief, the Union Construction company's high Sierra settlement in Tuolumne county, early on Friday morning, has not been checked. The fire has now covered a stretch of country seven miles wide and fifteen miles long, reaching Eagle Meadows, a well-known stock ranch. No lives have been lost, but the latest report is that the only building saved at Camp Relief was the company's sawmill, which was on Saturday reported destroyed. The loss is now estimated at $40,000 in camp buildings and supplies. The principal buildings destroyed were a large warehouse, a bunkhouse, and the company's offices. The sawmill was some distance from the other structures, and was valuable property to save, as new lumber can be sawed at once for shelter buildings for the approaching winter. The company saved also a lot of sawed lumber and declares the loss is not above $2000, but other estimates are much higher. County Auditor Lester has computed the taxes of this county for the fiscal year 1907-1908. According to his figures County Assessor Scott has collected $7623.90 in personal taxes, and County Tax Collector Lamb will collect $237,268.71. Including the Fullerton city taxes, the special school taxes, the Talbert Drainage district taxes, and the Newbert Protection District taxes, the county will collect $349,158.-78, of which about $81,000 will go to the state. SIMON MAGUS. The Legend From Which Was Born the Story of Faust. Almost every renowned man of antiquity in the middle ages was believed SIMON MAGUS. The Legend From Which Was Born the Story of Faust. Almost every renowned man of antiquity in the middle ages was believed to be attended by a spiritus familiaris and not a few were suspected of being in direct league with the devil. Probably the oldest legend of which the Faust legend is a continuous thread is that of Simon Magus, mentioned in the history of the apostles. According to Justin, he was a native of Gitton, a village in Samaria. He was, no doubt, a man of great intellectual powers. He was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It is also reported of him that he could make himself invisible, that he could pass through flames unharmed, could transpose matter, make gold and exorcise demons—in fact, he laid claim to all these powers, and his name lived in the mouths of the people as a sort of demurge through many centuries until some other miracle working personality took his place at the popular fireside. Unusual accomplishments, great erudition, were attributed to the supernatural influence and the general disposition to superstitious assumption was strengthened on the one hand by dogmatic affirmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Satan, with his numerous household, and, on the other hand, by incorporating the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and alchemy occupied no mean part.
