STATE CAPITAL REMOVAL. A constitutional amendment to be voted upon in November, which should be everlastingly snowed under at the polls is that providing for the removal of the state capital from Sacramento to Berkeley. Apart from the amendment which seeks to exempt railways and other public-service corporations from their just burdens of taxation, and which we have hitherto referred to, this capital-removal measure is probably the wickedest ever submitted to the people of California for their approval. The scheme is nothing more nor less than an attempted slap at Sacramento by the Southern Pacific political bureau for the non-support of Gillett for governor two years ago by that county. Gillett confidently expected 2000 majority in Sacramento, but was defeated by 4000. Three thousand Republicans refused to support him, and long before election day wise ones knew Sacramento would be in the Democratic column when the votes were counted. At the recent primaries these Republicans were denied the right of suffrage, as they would not subscribe to the outrageous machine test whether they had supported Gillett in 1906. THE PISTACHIO The planting of pistachio in Southern California and considered more important the recent introduction of that territory. The pistachio now grows in Arabia, Persia and Turkey. It is about of an almond. The mean and of delicate and delicious The Arabs, Persians and Tahitians a rare delicacy, Europeans who have eaten dishes pronounce them untry. It is, however, used sively as an ingredient of sherbets, sundaes, ice cream try. It became known given this country at the World Chicago, when it was introduced one of the ingredients of nougat candy. It is the priced nut in the American costing twice as much as the west Louisiana paper-shell three times as much as the months. The advantage of the pistachio is, that it is a desert sends forth a long tap strikes deep below the soil moisture underlying deser. The introduction of dates put miles of waste land to use, but the date will not far from streams or wells. tachio tree will grow in the regions, and will yield a return. In getting these nuts for the bureau of plant industry superior variety with kern as large as those of ordinary pected 2000 majority in Sacramento, but was defeated by 4000. Three thousand Republicans refused to support him, and long before election day wise ones knew Sacramento would be in the Democratic column when the votes were counted. At the recent primaries these Republicans were denied the right of suffrage, as they would not subscribe to the outrageous machine test whether they had supported Gillett in 1906. Immediately after election the machine set about to finish Sacramento and the capital-removal bill is the result of this political conspiracy. It will cost the state $10,000,000 to move the capital and erect necessary state buildings at the new site. There is no good reason why the people should vote to saddle this colossal indebtedness upon themselves. Let the amendment be defeated. Of course there is no possible chance of this scandalous amendment receiving the approval of voters, but this should not deter them from waging vigorous warfare against it. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. The railroad has already wreaked its vengeance upon Sacramento, which has felt in various ways the effects of a possible removal of the capital from its present site. Every Democrat in the state should, and doubtless will, vote against the amendment, and every machine-free Republican should do likewise. Let us see if we can not make it unanimous against this infamous measure. Miguel Estudillo voted in favor of the capital-removal bill. He also dodged a vote on the reciprocal-demurrage bill. Let us not forget these things as we go along. The Orange News, speaking of the petitions for mandatory primaries, says it is not "pushing" the movement, and that it "does not believe in primaries." Let's see; doesn't Johnny Morrison live in Orange? Wm. E. Smythe of San Diego, is mentioned as the Democratic candidate for congress in the Eighth district. Inasmuch as the district is normally Republican by 8,000 majority Mr. Smythe is confronted by a petitions for mandatory primaries, says it is not "pushing" the movement, and that it "does not believe in primaries." Let's see; doesn't Johnny Morrison live in Orange? Wm. E. Smythe of San Diego, is mentioned as the Democratic candidate for congress in the Eighth district. Inasmuch as the district is normally Republican by 8,000 majority, Mr. Smythe is confronted by a condition and not a theory, which prospect must be altogether pleasing to Mr. Smith of Kern. Gen. H. G. Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, leaves this week for Baltimore, to undergo a slight surgical operation in the Johns Hopkins hospital. He will be accompanied by Harry Chandler, his son-in-law. General Otis has been ill for some months past, and has practically relinquished editorial control of his newspaper. The State Capitol at Sacramento has been remodeled after two years and four months of labor, at a cost of $350,000. The railroad machine desires the capital moved from Sacramento to Berkeley which would entail an expense to the taxpayers of probably $5,000,000. The state buildings at Sacramento costing many millions, would, in event of removal, have to be abandoned. The direct pecuniary loss to the state would probably not be less than $10,000,000. There exists no good reason for removal. Machine bosses throughout the state are lining up for removal. Let voters be on their guard and see to it that the removal amendment is defeated at the polls. A press dispatch of A states that "Mr. Bernard G. has arrived at Mecca, Cal., car of 700 choice date park the Sahara desert. He left government experiment Yuma fifteen different varieties Mr. Johnson who owns THE PISTACHIO NUT. Planting of pistachio trees in California and Arizona is more important even than the introduction of dates into territory. The pistachio nut grows in Arabia, Persia, Egypt, Turkey. It is about the size of almond. The meat is green delicate and delicious flavor. Jobs, Persians and Turks think it duck, chicken, turkey or roasted and stuffed with pistachia rare delicacy, and those who have eaten of such pronounce them unequaled. However, used more extensively as an ingredient of candies, sundaes, ice cream and pastry became known generally in country at the World's Fair in 1908 when it was introduced as one of the ingredients of Turkish candy. It is the highest nut in the American market, twice as much as the choice-siana paper-shell pecans and ones as much as the best advantage of the pistachio nut it is a desert growth. It thrives a long tap root, which sleep below the soil to the underlying desert sands. Production of dates in Arizona is of waste land to profitable the date will not thrive too streams or wells. The pistachio will grow in the hot, arid land will yield a handsome ing these nuts for planting,au of plant industry found a variety with kernels twice as those of ordinary almonds. mercial date orchard at Mecca, made his first trip to Arabia a little over five years ago, has made a thorough study of date culture both at home and abroad, and therefore is as well equipped for the successful production of dates as any man in America. The conditions in the valley where Mr. Johnson's orchard is growing are decidedly better than they are in the majority of the groves to be found in the Sahara region, from which he obtains his suckers, for comparisons show that young dates of the same age look at least 50 per cent better here than in Algeria. This young California orchard has already produced a small quantity of fruit of a very superior quality and everything augurs for complete success. There is no question now but dates should be more extensively planted in our desert regions, something the rural Californian has, from time to time, persistently advocated. The varieties brought over by Mr. Johnson have all been recommended by every specialist and investigator who have studied the date in its native land. Of these, the Deglet-moor is the best known and considered a fine date. It is not without its drawbacks, however, and we predict the Mecca orchard will produce finer dates than the imported ones of the above variety. Friends of Bert J. Huyber of the North Light cigar works for whom a warrant was last week issued on a charge of uttering worthless checks, say he will return and settle up. We stated last week our solemn conviction that Mr. Huyber was going south but if he returns and squares up, all will be forgiven. Up to the time of TREE PLANTING California has always taken interest in tree planting. It has been not only the reason of much land not cultivated, but also the origin of many ranch homes and vast stretches of rich irrigable lands. Interesting experiments have just been reported by Dr. Henderson of the United States Service in Southern California. He about twelve acres of hill two miles from the coast. Static conditions are very unstable—the growing sea-deciduous trees — is without soil is poor and rocky, Japan eighteen inches below sea level. These conditions only such as eucalyptus, conifers and drought-resistant hardwoods planted with prospect of ulti-cess, and trees which grow in semi-arid regions are to feed. Correspondent referred to, beat a forest cover on bare ground would make the locality active, has commenced plantation with prospect of ulti-cess, and trees which grow in semi-arid regions are to feed. Orange County Will Produce Greater Part of State's Output. Orange county's claim to being the most diversely productive of any area of equal size in the world is attested by statistics supplied by outside and authentic sources. A forecast of the celery crop by the Chicago Produce News, a recognized authority, gives this county credit for four-fifths of the celery crop of the state. The article is as follows: "The celery crop around Holt and Northern California is in fine shape. This section is in no danger of flood. The California Vegetable Union has a large crop in this section under contract. "Celery growers in Southern California are busy planting. In the seed buds the plants have been sprayed a number of times, and everything is in excellent shape.. At no time since celery has been grown has so much care been exerted as during this season. Last year's celery growers learned that it paid to grow good stock. Even considering the loss..." active, has commenced plantation great variety of trees from and elsewhere.

In the seed buds the plants have been sprayed a number of times, and everything is in excellent shape.. At no time since celery has been grown has so much care been exerted as during this season. Last year's celery growers learned that it paid to grow good stock. Even considering the loss which the flood of the Jersey Island celery crop will cause, it is estimated that California will have plenty of celery for everyone. There are 3000 acres in Orange county in Southern California, which should at least produce 2,000 cars. Added to this 500 cars from Nortnern California, the output this year should reach 2500 cars. The California Vegetable Union is looking forward to a good year." Fred T.
