PROSPERITY OF THE STATE SUBJECT OF PERENNIAL INTEREST FOR THE PEOPLE National Irrigation Congress to Be Held at Spokane—Co-operation the Watchword for Pacific Coast—Great Demand for Literature Every person in California is deeply interested in all matters pertaining to reclamation, irrigation and forestry, consequently all are interested in the coming meeting of the National Irrigation Congress, which is to convene at Spokane, Washington, August 9th. The primary objects of the Congress are to save the forests, store flood waters of the streams, reclaim deserts and make homes on land now desolate, and at these meetings there is always actual demonstration of the possibilities of the West in development along these lines. California is vitally interested in the work of this Congress, and every organization in the State, as well as individuals, should aid in having a good representation from California at the Spokane meeting. The meeting held in Sacramento two years ago was well attended and its action was not only of interest but of real practical value to the entire State. California, being the pioneer in irrigation matters, should take prominent part in all meetings of the Congress and especially in the coming one. Colonel H. D. Loveland, who has devoted much of his time to the meetings of the National Irrigation Congress, and similar organizations, was selected as vice-president of the congress at the meeting held in Albuquerque last year. This honor was who visit the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, people all over the world are having their attention attracted to California. Owing to this increased interest the demand for literature describing the various parts of the State is so great that it is almost impossible to supply it. The California Promotion Committee has a most thorough method of distribution of literature, so that not a single piece goes to waste, yet the demand upon it has been so great that many counties are entirely unrepresented in its literature files. Quite a number of counties have live commercial organizations that are quick to grasp opportunities, but others do not seem to realize the importance of a constant supply of such matter. Every organization in the State should keep in close touch with the Committee and see to it that there is constantly on hand a supply of up-to-date literature for distribution. There is no danger of sending an over supply, for between the distribution at headquarters in California building in Union Square, San Francisco, and at the Eastern bureau of The Committee, in New York, an immense quantity is required to meet the steady demand. Advance statements regarding the fruit crop have been fully borne out and reports received by The California Promotion Committee from all sources indicate that this will be a very heavy fruit year. There is strong demand for labor in all agricultural districts, with good wages and promise of permanent employment. Demand for women and girls in the canning and drying establishments over the State is especially urgent. Colonization effort is receiving a great impetus, and many desirable settlers are coming to all parts of WORKING FOR THE WESTERN LAND "Hand in hand for the Western Land," was the catch cry of the yell of the hundred Californians who left San Francisco June 12th for a visit to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. This visit demonstrated fully the fact that the entire Pacific Coast region has a community of interest, and it also demonstrated that this community of interest went hand in hand with a friendship and cooperative spirit that means great progress for the entire coast. At every point the Californians met with a hearty reception and the hand of fellowship was extended, not only to those who accepted the opportunity offered by the Promotion Committee to make the trip, but to the representatives of all of the seven states on the Pacific slope. The sentiment of a United Pacific States, which has been developed for the past five years by The Committee, is entitled to representation at this congress, there are individuals who are sufficiently interested to desire to attend as delegates and should any such desire to go they can secure credentials in proper form by applying to The California Promotion Committee, which organization is desirous of having a large delegation from the State, knowing that permanent benefit always comes from these gatherings. Commercial organizations are especially urged to send delegates to the coming session of the congress, to take active part in the proceedings, and obtain the knowledge that is always disseminated by the men who have given their lives to the study of the problems which are discussed. THE AMERICAN PERIL German Statesman Warns Europe Against Us Berlin, July 3 -- Judge Schwarze, a prominent member of the Reichstag and the Prussian Diet, seizes upon America's "eleventh hour use of force" in the Chinese railway scheme as a pretext for warning Europe afresh of the "American danger." "Writing to Der Tag, under the heading, 'Europe for Europeans,' he urges England and Germany to abandon their mutual suspicions, trade competition and naval rivalries, and league themselves without further delay of action against their 'common real practical value to the entire State. California, being the pioneer in irrigation matters, should take prominent part in all meetings of the Congress and especially in the coming one. Colonel H. D. Loveland, who has devoted much of his time to the meetings of the National Irrigation Congress, and similar organizations, was selected as vice-president of the congress at the meeting held in Albuquerque last year. This honor was given to California because of the great interest shown by her delegates and especially because of his active work in the cause. While every commercial organization is entitled to representation at this congress, there are individuals who are sufficiently interested to desire to attend as delegates and should any such desire to go they can secure credentials in proper form by applying to The California Promotion Committee, which organization is desirous of having a large delegation from the State, knowing that permanent benefit always comes from these gatherings. Commercial organizations are especially urged to send delegates to the coming session of the congress, to take active part in the proceedings, and obtain the knowledge that is always disseminated by the men who have given their lives to the study of the problems which are discussed." At every point the Californians met with a hearty reception and the hand of fellowship was extended, not only to those who accepted the opportunity offered by the Promotion Committee to make the trip, but to the representatives of all of the seven states on the Pacific slope. The sentiment of a United Pacific States, which has been developed for the past five years by The Committee, was strengthened by this visit to a remarkable degree, and already steps are being taken to have a gathering where all the organizations interested will have representation, for the purpose of taking initial steps toward forming an effective organization of the United Pacific States. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is a revelation of the vast wealth and opportunity of the Pacific States. It is an educational institution that exceeds in practical value any other educational institution in the West. It is of such importance, and is so skillfully arranged as to be the most attractive display of exhibits, as well as the most beautiful surroundings ever seen west of the Missouri River. Every person living in the Pacific Coast states should see this splendid exhibition, for it will make them better citizens, and prouder than ever of the land they inhabit. GREAT DEMAND FOR LITERATURE The whole world is becoming deeply interested in California, and inquiries are coming in increasing number for information regarding different parts of the State. With the splendid advertising that is being given the State by The California Promotion Committee, and the interest taken in the Pacific Coast by those prominent member of the Reichstag and the Prussian Diet, seizes upon America's "eleventh hour use of force" in the Chinese railway scheme as a pretext for warning Europe afresh of the "American danger." "Writing to Der Tag, under the heading, 'Europe for Europeans,' he urges England and Germany to abandon their mutual suspicions, trade competition and naval rivalries, and league themselves without further delay of action against their 'common enemy across the Atlantic.'" "America," he says, "is a peril not only for England and Germany, but for all Europe, to which the yellow peril is altogether secondary. Our imperial cousins in America are the greatest danger. As the dollar grows bigger it will annihilate the shilling and the mark, unless Europe sets up its own Monroe doctrine." He says the powers must eventually form an economic alliance of all Europe, including England, otherwise America will emerge as the conqueror of the world in the battle, and simply exhaust Europe. "It is high time," he adds, "to explode the cry that England and Germany are the chief rivals for trade dominion, and that whoever defeats the other will attain it. America is not only a competitor of England and Germany individually, but both of them together. If England and Germany fight, they fly at each others' throats exclusively for the benefit of the United States. "What do you want?" asked the lady of the house of the tramp. "Suthin' ter eat." "I haven't anything in the house except some bread and tinned beef. Do you won't some of that?" "No," he said sadly. "I'd better move on. It'd be a pity ter waste sech a fine appetite on sech poor vletuals." ANAHEIM GAZETTE CONCERNING BATTLESHIPS Prevalent Misinformation About An Important Subject Extraordinary stories are current and seem to be given general credence by the press on the subject of the unprecedented speed attained by the big British cruisers, the Indomitable and the Invincible, which are twin ships. We find in the New York Sun, for instance, a statement that the Invincible "averaged over 28 knots an hour on a trial trip," and it is added that she carries a heavier battery than the Dreadnought. In the same strain we quote from the Springfield Republican: "The English navy has been doing some rather remarkable things in a quiet way during the past month. When the Portsmouth squadron of the home fleet was sent to the maneuvers in the North sea the great gray ships were turned loose and told to make time. The cruiser Invincible made the trip at an average speed of 28 knots for the six hours, and reeled off 29 knots during one hour, while the Dreadnought made an average of 21 knots." All this may be characterized as ignorant nonsense. It is not true that such speeds have been accomplished by these vessels, and the statement that they carry a more powerful battery than a battleship is simply foolish. They are not fighting ships in any sense. In reply to a question on these matters Naval Constructor Evans of the Mare Island yard writes: "The Invincible and Indomitable (both from the same design) are wonderful ships, and for this reason there is no need of exaggerated statements regarding them. The statement relative to making 28 knots is absurd. The same statement appeared in the public press regarding the Invincible, and it is known to be untrue. The London Engineering, which is the most responsible engineering paper published in the world today, in its issue of May 29, 1908, on page 704, in referring to FEAR WHISKERS ON JURY Lawyers Have Learned that Bearded Men Will Convict Whiskers on a jury are a hoodoo. Chicago lawyers who try criminal cases will not accept a man with whiskers if they can help it. Long experience has confirmed lawyers in the idea that "his whiskers" will soak a defendant upon the principles embodied in the Mosaic law. Judge McEwen of the Criminal Court says he has the same opinion as his brethren of the law. Whiskers are pitiless. They have no emotion, no sympathy. State Attorney Wayman of Illinois, who prosecutes criminals, says: "It is true that a feeling exists among lawyers to the effect that a man with whiskers is an undesirable juror. I confess I do not know the specific reason for it, and, in fact, must admit that the best case I ever won was one where the foreman of the jury had whiskers all over his face. So did the man who hung the jury for the defense in the first Cronin trial. The ancient Greeks believed that a man with whiskers was endowed with bravery, and perhaps the present superstition, or whatever it is, is traceable to the ancient belief." "All men wore whiskers in the old Bible countries in the days when judgments were unrelenting," said Attorney Erbstein. "A strict adherent to the ancient laws of Moses, might be unyielding and be stern. It is on the principle that a Jew with whiskers is likely to be orthodox. I don't want men with whiskers on juries that try cases for me." ROOSEVELT AND THE DARKY While ex President Roosevelt was on his famous Louisiana bear-hunting trip he passed by an old colored "The Invincible and Indomitable (both from the same design) are wonderful ships, and for this reason there is no need of exaggerated statements regarding them. The statement relative to making 28 knots is absurd. The same statement appeared in the public press regarding the Invincible, and it is known to be untrue. The London Engineering, which is the most responsible engineering paper published in the world today, in its issue of May 29, 1908, on page 704, in referring to the exaggerated statements of the speed of these vessels states as follows: "This opinion, the accuracy of which can easily be established, is, however, based on somewhat exaggerated reports as to the speed attained on her recent official trials, for instead of the reputed 27 or 28 knots the vessel can only be pronounced as easily able to maintain the 25 knots anticipated in the design. It is not considered desirable for patriotic reasons to give details of the trial results, but we may state that they were most satisfactory, both as regards speed attained and economy of steam consumption." Similar testimony as to the speed of these cruisers is given by London Engineering, and Brassay's Naval Annual for 1908 rates the speed of the Indomitable and Invincible at 25 knots. This is not to deny that these cruisers are wonderful ships for the purpose for which they were designed. We have nothing like them in the American navy, and for the present we do not want them so much as we do the fighting machines. The Invincible is not a fighting ship in any sense. Her armor is so light that she would be shot to pieces in a five minute engagement. She was not built to fight, but to run, and her speed will enable her to keep out of the way. The making of warships is a mathematical proposition. If you insist on speed you must sacrifice armor and weight of battery, and vice versa. You can get just so much out of a ship and if you want one quality in abnormal degree you must sacrifice some other. These wonderful British cruisers are built for speed at the sacrifice of protection. They are not meant for fighting, but for scouting. It is true that the Invincible carries heavy guns, but her armor belt is only seven inches thick, as compared with the Dakota's belt of eleven inches. The Invincible has four inch armor at the ends and no protection for her upper works except her gun turrets. With such inadequate protection the Invincible would not last long in a fight.—Call. ROOSEVELT AND THE DARKY While ex President Roosevelt was on his famous Louisiana bear-hunting trip he passed by an old colored man's cabin and saw two fine hounds in the yard. Mr. Roosevelt made several offers for the hounds, each larger than the last; but the old man shook his head. Finally the President said: "If you knew who I am you would sell me those dogs." "Sell you dem houn'dawgs if I know who you is!" exclaimed the man, "Who is you, anyhow?" "I am President Roosevelt," was the reply, uttered in an impressive tone. The old man looked at him a moment, and then said: "See heah, I wouldn't care if you was Bookah T. Washington – you couldn't have dem dawgs!" A FOND FAREWELL This refined cruelty is attributed to a French gentleman who had finished his holiday in England, and had just paid a very large hotel bill. He was indignant, but his native courtesy was unimpaired. "Send ze proprietaire to me," he said to the waiter, and presently the host entered. Monsieur was all smiles. "Ah, let me embrace you!" he cried. "But why do you want to embrace me, sir? I don't understand." "Ah, saire, but look at zee beel." "Your bill! Yes, but what of it?" "Vot of it? Vy, it means zat I s'all nevaire, nevaire see you again, saire." MONUMENT TO POTATOES "When I was in Germany last year," said a man who travels, "I saw some people who like potatoes even better than I do. At any rate they erect statutes to them. "Offenburg was the first city to erect a monument of this kind. The upper part consists of a statute of Sir Francis Drake, who introduced thr plant into Europe. This, as well as the pedestal is draped with garlands of the potato vine, with full grown tubers. "On the pedestal on one side is Sir Francis Drake's name, the second side explains what a blessing the potato has been to mankind, the third records that the statue is the gift of a certain Andrew Frederick of Strasburg, the THRIPS CAN BE CURED San Jose Grower Has Method of Destroying Them Fruit growers of California will receive with much gratification the authoritative information that experiments by the United States government thrips investigators have proven entirely successful and Dudley Moulton of San Jose, under whose direction the experiments have been made, states that the thrips pest can be absolutely controlled by plowing and other cultivation in the fall, followed by spraying during February and March. Heretofore, while many methods seeking to control thrips have been tried by individuals and officials, sufficient success was not apparent to warrant any one in claiming that thrips could be exterminated, and those who found the pest in their orchards faced a particularly vexatious and serious situation because of the fact. To learn that a successful method has been found to combat the insect will cause much relief in all sections. Mr. Moulton expects to prepare a bulletin to be published by the United States department of agriculture within a few weeks in which will be given the results of this year's experiments on thrips. The publication will be anxiously awaited and will be reprinted for the benefit of our subscribers. "Offenburg was the first city to erect a monument of this kind. The upper part consists of a statute of Sir Francis Drake, who introduced thr plant into Europe. This, as well as the pedestal is draped with garlands of the potato vine, with full grown tubers. "On the pedestal on one side is Sir Francis Drake's name, the second side explains what a blessing the potato has been to mankind, the third records that the statue is the gift of a certain Andrew Frederick of Strasburg, the fourth contains the names of the erectors. A statue similar to this is placed in the town of Murz, and I have been told that there are other copies in many small towns." A man who had to leave on a journey before the end of a case begun against him by a neighbor, gave orders to his lawyer to let him know the result by telegraph. After several days he got the following telegram: "Right has triumphed." He at once telegraphed back: "Appeal immediately." "I trust we shall make you feel quite at home," remarked the hotel proprietor. "Don't you try it," expostulated the married man "I'm away from it just to have a jolly good time."
