STATE CAPITAL REMOVAL Another constitutional amendment which should not receive the vote of a single self-respecting citizen in the state—republican, democrat, socialist or prohibitionist—is that which provides for removing the state capital from Sacramento to Berkeley. Indeed, as we have already pointed out, not one of the proposed constitutional amendments now before the people is worthy of their support, save that providing for primary elections, and while we have no doubt it will carry, we pin very little faith in the subsequent enactment by the legislature of a primary law which will do away with the political illus the people are now burdened with. But of all the amendments perhaps there is not one which exhibits such petty spiteful malice on the part of the railroad machine as is contained in this effort to wreak a petty vengeance upon a people who darred to stand up and assert its manhood at the last state election. The reason for this projected removal of the state capital is mere responsible for the non-Whereas, Certain delegate to the 39th district senatorvention disobeyed their instructions by voting for the tion of M.

The record of this man is a consistent supporter of the and he takes orders from histers. In the most important fore the last legislature, the cal demurrage bill, he dodged making a specious pretext or been engaged elsewhere.

We submit that he is a man for the place, and should feated. HISTORIC FOREST FIRE The terrible work of the which have burned over and eed hundreds of thousands o of timber and property to thof millions in the Lake sta calls to memory other great fires which have attained importance. But of all the amendments perhaps there is not one which exhibits such petty spiteful malice on the part of the railroad machine as is contained in this effort to wreak a petty vengeance upon a people who dared to stand up and assert its manhood at the last state election. The reason for this projected removal of the state capital is merely because Sacramento polled a majority vote for Bell for governor two years ago, whereas a majority of 4000 was confidentially counted upon the machine for Gillett Only that and nothing more. The county of Sacramento is to be made to suffer the ill-will of the machine for its disobedience, and incidentally the state is to be made to foot the bill, for it will cost $10,000,000 before we get through with it. Four years ago Sacramento, which is a stronghold of republicanism, gave Roosevelt 6666 and Parker 2,372, a majority for the president of over 4000 votes. In the late state election Sacramento gave Gillett 3,345, and Bell 7074, a majority for the democrat of nearly 4000 votes. The vote showed that 4000 republicans refused to support their party's nominee for governor, and the machine deliberately planned to administer chastisement to the county. That is the sole and only reason for the attempted removal of the capital. Of course this amendment, like the other atrocious propositions submitted voters for their support at the November election, will fail of its object. Not a single self-respecting republican should vote for it, and it is to be doubted very much if a single democrat in the state will support it. During the past two years repairs and alterations have been made to the capital at Sacramento costing a quarter of a million dollars, and yet the railroad machine coolly tells us this money is to be thrown away, and added millions of burdens placed upon the backs of taxpayers in order that the capital might be removed. Let no one doubt that an effort—a great effort—will be made to carry this amendment, for machine forces feated. HISTORIC FOREST FIRE The terrible work of the which have burned over and eed hundreds of thousands of timber and property to the of millions in the Lake state calls to memory other great fires which have attained importance. One of these was the great michi fire of 1825. It began greatest destruction about one year in the afternoon of October 7th year, at a place about 60 miles the town of Newcastle, on the michi river, in New Brunswick fore ten o'clock at night it miles below Newcastle. In hours it had destroyed a belt cost 80 miles long and 25 miles Over more than two and o million acres almost every thing was killed. Even then were afterwards found dead in on the river banks. Five h and ninety buildings were burna number of towns, including castle, Chatham and Douglas were destroyed. One hundred sixty persons perished, and a thousand head of stock. The from the Miramichi fire is ed at $300,000, not including the use of the timber. In the majority of such forests as this the destruction of therber is a more serious loss, less than that of the cattle and things, for it carries with it the poverishment of a whole regi tens or even hundreds of years wards. The loss of the stu value of the timber at the time the fire is but a small part damage to the neighborhood. wages that would have been o in lumbering, added to the valuethe produce that would have purchased to supply the l camps, and the taxes that would been devoted to roads and other lic improvements, furnish a mu er measure of how much, soon later, it costs a region when it ests are destroyed by fire. The Peshtigo fire of October was still more severe than th During the past two years repairs and alterations have been made to the capital at Sacramento costing a quarter of a million dollars, and yet the railroad machine coolly tells us this money is to be thrown away, and added millions of burdens placed upon the backs of taxpayers in order that the capital might be removed. Let no one doubt that an effort—a great effort—will be made to carry this amendment, for machine forces from one end of the state to the other have been lining up for it for more than a year. Be on your guard, and vote No on this amendment. ESTUDILLO'S CANVASS Miguel Estudillo, candidate of the machine for senator in the Thirty-ninth district, has devoted some time recently to going over Orange county campaigning in his own behalf. Mr. Estudillo will find objection to him here, as much for the manner of his nomination as for his past political record, which proves him to be a creature of the railroad push. Republicans of Orange county have not forgotten that the thirteen delegates elected to the joint senatorial convention were instructed not to support him for senator, but that by unfair, not to say corrupt means, his nomination was hatched out after a secret ballot and a muzzled vote. That the nomination is distasteful to republicans here was strikingly evidenced at the indignation meeting assembled in Santa Ana last month. This meeting was attended by nearly 1000 republicans, who, without a dissenting vote, adopted the following resolution condemnatory of the action of the slippery delegates who responsible for the nomination: Mrs. Certain delegates elected with district senatorial consobeyed their explicit invoting for the nomination of the said M. therefore be it and, That we condemn the loss of said delegates as imfair and un-republican; we call upon the republirange county to protest and actions.

Huntington's plans for the extension of electric railway service in Southern California comprehend, in conjunction with E. H. Harriman, interurban service between Los Angeles and San Diego by the way of Elsinore lake and Escondido, tapping as well a rich series of valleys. Since Harriman's title has been perfected to the Cuyamaca railway, which runs out of San Diego through El Cajon valley to Lakeside and Foster's, that road has been available as part of the plan for conneceting the two cities. It offers an excellent terminus in San Diego, and Lakeside Inn and numerous other points make it a favorite tourist route. This would fit in very well with the Huntington plans for a successful inter-urban line. This side of the present terminus of the Cuyamaca line the proposed route will tap the rich Escondido territory and run through that town. From Escondido the road will bend westward so as to take in the large holdings which Mr. Huntington controls in the San Luis Rey section, which his railroad will develop on a large scale. Thence it will probably run to Elsinore, and then, follow-ing east of the Temescal mountains, great fires, the loss of life and property was very heavy. Hinckley and six other towns were destroyed about 500 lives were lost, more than 2000 persons were left destitute, and the estimated loss to property of various indsk was $25,000,000. Except for the heroic conduct of locomotive engineers and other railroad men much greater. COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE ANAHEIM, CAL.

Thence it will probably run to Elsinore, and then, following east of the Temescal mountains, the line will join the network which is planned for Orange county by the Huntington system. Cars will probably run into Los Angeles by the Whittier line. PLACENTIA Miss Ellen Mead, who spent the summer at the Bradford home, has gone to Los Angeles to teach school.

Alvin Nowotney and wife of New Braunfels, Texas, arrived on Sunday and will take up their permanent residence in this city. Mr. Nowotney is an uncle of Frank Tausch. He has taken a position at the Griffith lumber yards. They arrived on the 6:30 Chicago limited, and at 7:30 Tausch went to Los Angeles to meet them. He looked for them on every incoming train from the east until late at night, and returned home on the midnight flyer. This sounds pretty bad for Tausch, and he is not through making explanations yet.
