A Los Angeles publication, discussing matters which will come before the legislature for consideration, refers as follows to the anti-race track gambling bill: "When it (the anti-racetrack bill) reaches the senate the real fight will begin. Senator Leavitt of Oakland has paid two visits to Southern California within the last month for the purpose of getting in touch with the southern senators. Any senator elected this year can have most anything he wants in the organization of the senate, provided he will vote 'right' on the race-track bill; minor things like patronage and chairmanships of important committees figure only as white chips in the game. "Here is the report which has gone back to Oakland on the Los Angeles delegation: Three opposed to race-track gambling—Bell, Thompson and Hurd; one favorable—Savage; and one doubtful—McCartney. "Another disappointment comes to the racing fraternity from the south in the loss of Senator Wright of San Diego, who was friendly last session." Here is the report which has gone back to Oakland on the Los Angeles delegation: Three opposed to race-track gambling—Bell, Thompson and Hurd; one favorable—Savage; and one doubtful—McCartney. Another disappointment comes to the racing fraternity from the south in the loss of Senator Wright of San Diego, who was friendly last session, but this time is now one of the strong opponents to race-track gambling. Before the draw the senate stands twenty-six in favor of an anti-gambling bill and fourteen against. The log-rolling is now in progress." How stands the senator from the Thirty-ninth district on this bill? It will be remembered he made a great to-do over his support of the defeated racetrack bill in the last legislature, but it was well understood during the campaign that he was merely "staked out" by the machine to make a showing in favor of a bill which had no chance of passage. How is it with Estudiño at this time? A creature of the push, he stands ready to do its bidding at every point; and as the machine is vitally interested in preserving the race track, it will be interesting to note how the senator from the Thirty-ninth will align himself on this measure. Also, he will be given an opportunity of voting for or against a reciprocal-demurrage bill, which he will duck as in the last session. The eyes of the district will be upon him, in these two as well as in other matters, and it will be interesting to see which side of the discussion he lines up with. It is dollars to crullers he will be found with the push, as before, every time. SCIPIO CRAIG The death of Scipio Craig, veteran editor of the Redlands Citrograph, removes one of the most widely known and best loved newspaper men in the state. Craig had edited the Citrograph for twenty years, and it was his wish that the SCIPIO CRAIG The death of Scipio Craig, veteran editor of the Redlands Citrograph, removes one of the most widely known and best loved newspaper men in the state. Craig had edited the Citrograph for twenty years, and it was his wish that the paper cease publication at his death. We met Craig first in 1881, years before Redlands was thought of, and found him ever the same genial gentleman as of yore. Once the life of the Southern California editorial association, he had not latterly attended its gatherings, having felt a pique at his ambition to become president of the national association. Letters and telegrams were sent him, asking that he join the association upon its outings, but in many cases these went unanswered. For years Craig's merry voice was not in evidence at these gatherings, and he was missed. Craig was not a great editor, and his knowledge of the printer's art was at fault. He missed his foothold when he permitted first one and then another daily to enter his field and crowd him to the wall. Craig and the Citrograph will be missed. May he rest in peace. Tuesday was the first disagreeable day of the year. A raw nor'wester blew during portions of the day, making it unpleasant. These disagreeable days are so few and far between in Southern California that they are a novelty, and as such we write about them. Yesterday the air was again balmy and being a never-ending delight. POSTOFFICE DEFICIT office deficit for the preyear is nearly seventeen dollars. When the causes of deficit are considered, it is important of a national disgrace. Office establishment ought to government at least sevlions of dollars yearly inringing it that much in rural free delivery does but it is universally known can be made to pay handthe postmaster general resume a limited local parcels from on the rural routes to a self-sustaining as well as to the farmer and the merchant and to that great increasing class of owing to improved translive all or part of the one country. He suggests five cents for one pound ents for each additional pound up to eleven pounds. Nearly all rural carriers use horses and wagons. An average burden of only fifty-five pounds a trip would amount annually to over fifteen millions of dollars, nearly all of which would be profit. No man or concern would hesitate to act on such a plain business like proposition. There are four reasons, however, why the government of the United States does not act. The four reasons are the four express companies, viz.: American Express company, Adams Express company, Wells, Fargo Express company and the United States Express company. They are not legitimate reasons, but they are very stubborn and potent ones. The postmaster general would like a general and unlimited parcels post system and the reason why he recommends a limited system is because he has no hope of getting what he wants and what the country is entitled to and what every other civilized nation in the world has.
