THAT EXPERIMENT STATION AGAIN The Riverside Press comes valorously to the defense of Senator Anderson, as was to have been expected, in the matter of his action relative to the Estudillo bill providing for a state experiment station for Southern California. Editor Clarke avows himself to be of the following solemn conviction: Ever since the citrus experiment station was located at Riverside and the pathological laboratory at Whittier, the Anaheim Gazette has been in a chronic condition of grief because Anaheim was not selected by the state university authorities as the site for one or both of these institutions. In a recent article it utters one of its periodical walls on this subject and incidentally lattacks Senator Anderson because he did not have the bill "fixed" so that Anaheim would have been sure to get this station. When Editor Clarke accuses this county of attempting to "fix" the bill in question, he purposely misstates the issue, and seeks to place upon this county blame which rightfully belongs to Riverside. As he well knows, the Riverside contingent at Sacramento in the days immediately antecedent to the passage of the bill, sought to include in its provisions a clause The Santa Ana Bulletin paragraph from this journal concerning the execrable conduct of the Olive road, and pre-question the propriety of sition to that $600,000 bond. Yet it occurs to us that road was not included in prepared for the "communication" boosting the bond we doubt very much if was ever considered by the mittee as entitled to consider during the progress of the concerning the bond issuance road was as bad during the cussions as it is today, but included in the mileage tendered. We prefer the road the bonds, rather than thoroughfare unimproved colossal bond issue upon that of taxpayers. There has been a good deal called for discussion aboutirement of Admiral R.

The contains under him will have experience by the time th county of attempting to "fix" the bill in question, he purposely misstates the issue, and seeks to place upon this county blame which rightfully belongs to Riverside. As he well knows, the Riverside contingent at Sacramento in the days immediately antecedent to the passage of the bill, sought to include in its provisions a clause to the effect that the station should be located "in the representative citrus-growing section" of Southern California. That does not sound as if the Riversiders sought to "fix" the bill so that they might walk away with the station, does it? Orange county men at Sacramento at this time demurred to this attempted grab by Riverside, and suggested that if the word "walnuts" were included in the clause referred to, they would approve the measure. So it was that the bill as it passed the house provided that the experiment station should be located in "the representative orange and walnut growing district" of Southern California. The bill met with approval of the governor, and it encountered not a particle of opposition in the house. What the Riversiders could not do with the governor, nor with the Orange county men at the state capital at the time, they found no difficulty in getting Anderson to do in the senate. He coolly struck out the provision relating to walnuts, and now Editor Clarke accuses Orange county of attempting to "fix" the bill. Editor Clarke is a funny little cuss. He proceeds: Incidentally we might add that the Gazette is not posted on the varied resources of Riverside. We can grow fine celery here in the river bottom lands and have shipped that succulent vegetable by the carload. And we also grow some good walnuts, though we do not claim to compete with Orange county in that matter.

Editor Clarke is a funny little cuss. He proceeds: Incidentally we might add that the Gazette is not posted on the varied resources of Riverside. We can grow fine celery here in the river bottom lands and have shipped that succulent vegetable by the carload. And we also grow some good walnuts, though we do not claim to compete with Orange county in that matter. Orange growing is more profitable, but we could raise walnuts on a large scale if we chose to do so. The fact that there is not a walnut orchard in Riverside county, and that the wild celery growing along the river bottoms is hardly to be recognized alongside this county's product, again attests the amusing qualities of this funny little chap. Riverside's walnut output is confined to the crop of a few trees along the roadside and amounts to but a few hundred pounds. Its wild celery is not commercially important, while Orange county has 3000 cars about ready to ship to market. In this view of the situation, it seems idle to pursue further the natural advantages of these two counties when it came to selecting a site for the state experiment station. Virginia dispatches announce that the Pall Bearers' Union is about to give a benefit ball. This ought to be about as hilarious a performance as a morgue keepers' festival. Santa Ana Bulletin quotes a report from this journal concerning the execrable condition of the road, and proceeds to the propriety of our opposition that $600,000 bond issue. Occurs to us that the Olive Road is not included in the map for the "committee of men" boosting the bonds, and very much if the road considered by that committee entitled to consideration, the progress of the debates along the bond issue. The reason as bad during these disasters it is today, but was not in the mileage to be pavement prefer the road without it, rather than the same safety unimproved and a bond issue upon the backs of others. Has been a good deal of unrest discussion about the re-entry of Admiral Robley D. Before the battleship squadron for the Pacific. This has rest by Admiral Evans' decrement that he is not going till he is placed on the re-entry by operation of law. Admirals is not one of the youngest of the navy, but he is not treated by any means. He has experience in fleet commander the big squadron. It will not be a light undertakings any means. The ship captain him will have had the time by the time the Pacific reached and probably one this class of women know why they are coming and are no worse off here than they would be at home; and as for their effect on the native population, it is a question whether it is any worse than that of the native product. But the slavery of the Greek and Italian boys is even worse. They are put out to work under padrones who treat them a little worse than animals and fatten off their wages. They grow up as a rule to be very undesirable citizens, and we have enough undesirable citizens as it is already. If Secretary Straus can do anything to break up the traffic, he will have done something to render his service as a cabinet officer notable. Chamber of Commerce A number of important matters were discussed by the Chamber of Commerce Monday evening. Directors Williams, Walker, Wickett, Quarton and Howard were present. Secretary Walker read the following communication from the committee formed to procure a silver service set for the new armored cruiser "California": U.S. Armored Cruiser "California" Silver Service Committee, San Francisco, Cal., October 12, 1907. To the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir: The U.S. Armored Cruiser "California" is completed and ready for sea, and has not as yet received from the loyal people of the state that expression of good will which has been given by the people of every other city or state to the ship which bears its name. This committee has been appointed by the governor to secure for the "California" an elegant silver service, and it is desired to obtain that which will be equal, if not superior, to any service borne by any ship which floats. We therefore ask you to interest yourself in by operation of law. Admits is not one of the youngers of the navy, but he is not related by any means. He the experience in fleet comhandle the big squadron will not be a light undertakany means. The ship capder him will have had the time by the time the Pacific reached, and probably one will bring the squadron when it comes, if it ever does But Admiral Evans has the distinction of the comany man in the navy has, so be hoped that his health out to take the squadron the Horn, and thus crown of a long and honorable by a notable achievement. there is so much discussion ists in this country it is interesting to note that we attended with an invasion by a trust. It is the sulphur of Italy. The sulphur there is very thoroughly and it has been working in the importing agents in entry to entirely crush the union of the native American is bad enough to be robbed of home origin, but when to being overridden by a trust, it is a little too much. Sulphur trust has tried to make with American consumers of which they would not all with American firms. A clause in the Sherman law that provides for conand disbarment from the of any foreign trust that game. We do not happen as a sulphur trust, so that g out the foreigner we will thing anything to foster home It would seem a very to invoke the operation cause of the Sherman law never before been pressed To the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir: The U.S. Armored Cruiser "California" is completed and ready for sea, and has not as yet received from the loyal people of the state that expression of good will which has been given by the people of every other city or state to the ship which bears its name. This committee has been appointed by the governor to secure for the "California" an elegant silver service, and it is desired to obtain that which will be equal, if not superior, to any service borne by any ship which floats. We therefore ask you to interest yourself in this cause to secure for us all the contributions possible in your vicinity. That none may be barred from contribution, subscriptions may be made in any amount, and all sums of one dollar and upward will be recognized by a return illustration of the "California" ready for sea. Assuming that you will be glad to assist the committee in this good work, we enclose to you herewith a poster and subscription blank, with return envelope, and ask your good offices and the return of the list, together with the funds collected, within thirty days. Make checks or money orders payable to "Crocker National Bank, Treasurer," and remit to Horace Wilson, Secretary, 1233 Merchants' Exchange Building, San Francisco. Yours very truly, FRANK J. SYMMES, Chairman. HORACE WILSON, Secretary. The chamber discussed the propriety of soliciting funds for this laudable purpose, and will probably comply with a liberal donation. The report of the committee appointed to confer with Col. Pillsbury relative to electric railway matters was filed and the committee discharged. Col. Pillsbury informed the committee, as has been already stated in these columns, that his road would build into Anaheim—not now, but soon. The secretary submitted a proposition from the Santa Ana Register offering a page write-up of the town for $125 on a forthcoming edition. On motion of Howard, seconded by Wickett, the chamber agreed to purchase $100 worth of boosting. A committee composed of Walker and Resh was appointed to procure a photograph of the city. The chamber discussed the sewer and disbarment from the of any foreign trust that game.

A committee composed of Walker and Resh was appointed to procure a photograph of the city. The chamber discussed the sewer situation and will probably at an early day take the matter up again and push it to a successful consummation. A committee will go before the city council and lay before that body such data as has been procured upon the subject from a number of Southern California towns. The question of street-paving can be deferred until the city is properly sewered. Mr. Wickett asked concerning merry-go-round's interfering with divine worship. Chairman Williams, who goes to church every Sunday, observed Bro. Wickett, had not yet become accustomed to the manner of doing things in California. Wickett said the merry-go-round should be stopped when operating under the church window, at least during the pastor's sermon. The Y. M. C. A. was given permission to use the hall of the Chamber of Commerce twice a month for its meetings. A. W. Fhelps is constructing a $2500 residence upon his finely improved ranch north of this city.

CENTER AND DINA STREETS A. NAGEL This is the fifth year of the contract of the California Vegetable Union as the selling agency of the celery growers' association, and Smeltzer growers and dealers in the east are speculating on the likelihood that another contract will be signed with the vegetable union by the celery men. All indications are that the California Vegetable union will be given another contract, for the reason that it is likely that better terms will be offered, that the growers are pleased with the arrangements under which the selling agent has operated, and that the California vegetable union is one of the heaviest celery growers in the celery growers' association. For several years the selling agent has grown from 450 to 500 acres of celery, which is about one-tenth of the total acreage, and it does not seem likely that the association would care to split itself by the loss of the union's acreage. Under the present contract the growers are put to little trouble. The union furnishes the crates. Its commission is 2½ cents when celery brings less than 18 cents per dozen bundles, and 3 cents when celery brings 18 cents or more.
