SAN DIEGO STATES ITS CASE NOT A PARTY TO THE CONFERENCE CALLED AT SANTA BARBARA Was First to Announce An Exposition Commemorating Completion of Panama Canal In 1915—Plain Statement of Attempt on Part of San Francisco to Eliminate Southern City from an Impending Contest The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of the following manly and straightforward communication from the Panama-California exposition company at San Diego, relative to the proposed Santa Barbara conference, which seeks to eliminate San Diego as a factor in the exposition contest between that city and San Francisco: To the Commercial Bodies of California: The chamber of commerce of Santa Barbara county has seen fit to call a conference which assumes the right of decision in the pending controversy between San Francisco and San Diego. The directors of the Panama-California exposition, representing one of the parties in interest, were neither consulted nor notified prior to this action and must therefore decline to participate in the proposed deliberations. Furthermore, we refuse to be bound or obligated in any way by the action of a self-constituted tribunal. San Diego, first to make definite announcement of an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal, has purposely refrained from asking outside assistance. There is no law, written or unwritten, that required the issue of a franchise for this purpose by the State of California or any other constituted authority. Neither was it had in the method proposed for settlement of this dispute was destroyed by the action of a northern California arbitrator who offered to defray the expenses of the gathering. If this action of Santa Cruz was altogether disinterested, we cannot refrain from congratulating that city upon its prodigal generosity. If, on the other hand, the outcome is so clearly foreseen that Santa Cruz considers this a good investment, it would be folly for San Diego’s friends or representatives to anticipate any advantage from this conference. We ask that you accord this matter your earnest consideration and we hope you will join us in a protest against domination of outside affairs by any city of the State. It may happen that some cherished enterprise of your own will be endangered in the future and we request that your interpretation of justice be such as you would rightfully demand at our hands. Trusting that your body will decline to send representation to the conference at Santa Barbara, we are, very truly yours, (Signed) Grant Conard, Mayor of San Diego. D. C. Collier, Director-General, Panama-California Exposition. George Burnham, President Chamber of Commerce. W. L. Frevert, President Merchants Association.

San Diego, first to make definite announcement of an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal, has purposely refrained from asking outside assistance. There is no law, written or unwritten, that required the issue of a franchise for this purpose by the State of California or any other constituted authority. Neither was it necessary to secure San Francisco's permission to engage in such an undertaking. A preliminary fund of $1,000,000, completely subscribed, and a pledge that San Diego alone will expend more in this undertaking than was required to make a success of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition are hereby submitted for your consideration as a guarantee that the Panama-California exposition will be a credit to the state. Participation to any reasonable extent by the counties of Southern California and the nations bordering on the Pacific ocean will provide a demonstration such as never has been witnessed in Western America. Having proceeded thus far, we cannot, in justice to the thousands of people who have given their support, abandon the preparations already made. We stand ready today to enter into any reasonable and honorable compromise that may be offered, but we are determined not to be made ridiculous by participation in this conference, the result of which is too plainly foreshadowed. It is the hope of this body, and of every citizen of San Diego county, that your consideration of this question will justify our position. In those sections of California where San Francisco's commercial relations have not extinguished the last spark of civic independence there is a balance of power that might be wielded in a battle to achieve local progress and prosperity, and it is to these communities that this communication is particularly addressed. We do not believe that any action taken at Santa Barbara will be accepted by the people of California as justification of the sectional feeling that undoubtedly will follow. The attempted humiliation of San Diego is without precedent in California history, and a trial before a questionable jury, with the lesser contestant unrepresented by friend or counsel, cannot fail to bring about resentment and retaliation. Truant Dems With Laughing Eye, Chasing Wings of Butterfly From the columns of the sprightly Santa Ana Bulletin the office cat selects the following as the prize political story of the week: "Thus the Anaheim Gazette: 'A loud wall of lamentation comes from Santa Ana to the effect that democrats are registering as republicans, and that the wicked republican machine is to blame. . . Is not this a job rather of the democratic machine than its political opponents? Are not these democrats registering as republicans in order to nominate weak men for office, so that their defeat may be compassed by dyed-in-the-wool democrats in November?' "We presume the above refers to a recent paragraph in The Bulletin, since nowhere else have we seen a similar statement. And if any man can show in that paragraph even an intimation that the republican machine is to blame the writer will agree to vote the straight republican ticket in November. [Hear, Hear.] That aside, however, the reason assigned by the Gazette for the false registration is undoubtedly the correct one in many cases. And as we have said before, we consider such proceedings bad politics. For one thing, a registration below the normal will give both candidates and workers a false basis to start from, and will deter them from putting their best efforts in the party work.Again, it is certain the republicans willresent the efforts of democrats to butt into their family affairs, and as a result we are likely to lose help we would otherwise get from them in cases where we have the best man to offer. Moreover, probably in very few cases will the result at the polls be changed by democrats voting as republicans. "If you are a democrat, say so.The state committee is exerting itself to get out a full party vote, and we hope to see the faithful of Orange county do their share." AHOY THERE, SHIPMATE Capt.

The attempted humiliation of San Diego is without precedent in California history, and a trial before a questionable jury, with the lesser contestant unrepresented by friend or counsel, cannot fail to bring about resentment and retaliation. San Diego is willing to expend a very large sum of money to exploit home interests, and it is readily apparent that every portion of California must profit to some extent. San Francisco's ability to hold a larger fair is not altogether proven by this effort to throttle the enterprise of a sister city, nor is such an attempt an incentive to further examples of municipal activity. Before the Panama canal is completed San Diego will have added millions to the assessed valuation of California property and no city with an assured commercial future should be permitted to restrict California immigration to advance her own ambitions. We readily grant that San Francisco is rich enough to finance an international exposition, but we assert, at the same time, that no citizen shall ever have cause to blush for San Diego's performance. We shall seek to impose no heavy burden on the people of California in order that our own exposition shall be more glorious and we have demonstrated our financial solidity as a people before seeking aid at the hands of the state or the federal government. Whatever confidence we might have FROM THE STATE CAPITAL INTERESTING BUDGET OF NEWS FROM NORTHERN CITY Bulletin on Destructive Insects and Their Control—Governor Makes Appointments—Child Desertion Test Case—State School Land Scrip Sale Sacramento, March 21.—The amount of street improvements in the various cities and incorporated towns of the State during the past fiscal year, done under operation of the Vrooman Act, is nearly $5,000,000, according to report prepared by State Controller Nye. The amounts given are not complete as the cities record only the work done by public contract, while a considerable part of street improvement is done under private contract, saving property owners considerable. Destructive Insects O. E. Bremner, secretary of the State Horticultural Commission, has prepared an interesting and instructive bulletin on "Destructive Insects and Their Control." The bulletin contains formulae for the prevention and removal of each class of insects. It also contains valuable data on fumigation practice and the inspection of nursery stock. Governor Makes Appointments The following appointments have been made by Governor Gillett: Reappointed Frank Mattison of Santa Cruz and W. C. Little to membership on the Monterey Custom House board. Professor E. J. Wickson of the University of California on the board of directors of the San Luis Obispo Polytechnic School. George W. Reed of Oakland on the board of directors for the California in person, or be represented by a duly authorized agent. Indemnity certificates contain forty or eighty acres each, but a less amount may be taken by the purchaser by making his desire known at the time the bid is accepted. Persons qualified to purchase state land and holding certificates of purchase embracing lieu lands, the selection of which had been canceled by the U. S. General Land Office, may bid for scrip and re-select the same land (if not withdrawn by the U. S.), assign the certificate, surrender the same to the state, and obtain a return of all principal and interest paid thereon. Primary Law and Women School Superintendents Whether women can be elected to office under the operation of the new primary law is a question that is vitally interesting to the twenty-two women who are now county superintendents of schools in this state. Under the former law the candidate for this office had to be a bona-fide resident of the county; under the new primary law, the candidate must be a qualified elector. As women do not hold the electoral franchise the change in the tree wording of the law has given rise to doubt as to whether they can be nominated under the provisions of the new primary legislation. How the change in wording—so innocent that it apparently escaped every one's notice at the time it was made—came about no final explanation has been given. The members of the legislature who were responsible for its passage all aver that they had no intention to place any obstacles in the way of the re-election of the women school superintendents, many of whom have served a goodly number of years. The cause of the women has been re-enforced by a recent unofficial opinion given by Judge Peter J. Shields of the Superior Court of Sacramento mining in the nineties, the prominence of silver coinage as a political issue, and the final exaltation of the white metal to a dominating place in a presidential campaign have become a part of an important chapter of the history of the United States. After a long period of neglect prospecting was energetically resumed in Elko county in 1906 and 1907 and resulted in the establishment of several new camps, like Gold Circle. In 1907 the mines in the area surveyed by Mr. Emmons produced metals valued at $350,000. Mr. Emmons describes the geology of the region, the general character of the ore deposits, and the features observed at the mines visited. The report covers 130 pages and is illustrated by five lithographed maps and numerous figures. It can be had without charge from the Director of the United States Geological Survey at Washington. ANSWERS EVERY CALL Anaheim People Have Found That This Is True A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench. A little cause may hurt the kidneys. Spells of backache often follow. Or some irregularity of the urine. A certain remedy for such attacks, A medicine that answers every call, Is Doan's Kidney Pills, a true specific. Thousands of people rely upon it. Here is one case: A. B. Houston, 263 E. Ninth St., Riverside, Cal., says: "I willingly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. About three months ago I had more or less trouble from my back and finally the pains became so severe that I could not sit down without suffering acutely. I could scarcely turn over in bed and for three days it was impossible for me to move my arms without having sharp pains in my back. The doctor said I had muscular rheumatism and told me he could only give temporary relief by injecting morphine. At that time a friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills and I The following appointments have been made by Governor Gillett: Reappointed Frank Mattison of Santa Cruz and W. C. Little to membership on the Monterey Custom House board. Professor E. J. Wickson of the University of California on the board of directors of the San Luis Obispo Polytechnic School. George W. Reed of Oakland on the board of directors for the California State Institution for the Deaf and Blind. Child Desertion Test Case The first test of the law enacted by the last legislature making it a felony for a man to desert his children will come up in the Superior Court of Sacramento county when the trial of Howard E. Goslin is called before Judge Price of Alpine county. Judge Hughes will be a witness. State School Land Scrip Sales At the last public auction of state school land scrip conducted by Surveyor General Kingsbury at his office in the state capital there were sold certificates aggregating 3123 acres, bringing a total of $23,588.60. The average price per acre at which the scrip sold was $7.55 being a considerable advance over any previous sale. The law under which scrip is sold has been in operation nearly a year and six sales have been held under it. The average prices obtained have been as follows: May 3, 1909, $3.27; July 6, 1909, $4.43; September 7, $5.55; January 3, 1910, $6.73. The new law is giving general satisfaction, judging from the numbers attending the sales and the prices paid. The bidders are mostly farmers having small farms to which they desire to add small tracts of adjoining government land. Under the old law the State received $1.25 per acre for lieu land, while the land cost the purchaser from $5 to $6 per acre, the difference between the $1.25 per acre received by the state and the $5 and $6 paid by the purchaser going into the pockets of the self termed land attorneys who by devious methods controlled the right to select lieu lands. The net gain to the state under the new law now amounts to $94,700. The next sale of scrip will be held May 2d, under the following conditions: The purchasers of scrip are entitled to have selected for them an equally notice at the time it was made—came about no final explanation has been given. The members of the legislature who were responsible for its passage all aver that they had no intention to place any obstacles in the way of the re-election of the women school superintendents, many of whom have served a goodly number of years. The cause of the women has been re-enforced by a recent unofficial opinion given by Judge Peter J. Shields of the Superior Court of Sacramento county, in response to a request for some information upon the subject by Mrs. Minnie O'Neill, the county superintendent. Judge Shields takes a broad view of the situation, brushes aside technical legal objections, and holds that women may eb elected to the office of county superintendent. There were twenty-three women superintendents when the law was passed, but one, Miss Nellie Jordan, of Trinity county, has since side stepped the issue by marrying, and now there are twenty-two left. State Capitol Notes A meeting of almond growers will be held in Sacramento March 18 to form an association. J. P. Dargitz of Acampo is taking the lead in calling the meeting. Governor Gillett has denied the petition for the pardon of George D. Collins, sentenced to San Quentin for 14 years for perjury in connection with his trial on a charge of bigamy. This marks a point in this case, famous for the efforts of the man's attorneys to secure his freedom. According to the report of Secretary C. W. Gates of the California Board of Charities and Corrections there were at the close of February, 11,263 persons under care of the state in its institutions. Of these 6707 were inmates in insane hospitals; 2869 in the state prisons; 745 in reform schools; 115 in the home for adult blind; and 827 in home for feeble minded. There were only 30 women prisoners in the state prisons. Half of the reform school enrollment was on parole.

Emmons, geologist, has just been published by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin 408. The report contains descriptions of the geology and ore deposits at twenty-nine mining camps. The area surveyed comprises about 7000 square miles and includes the famous Tuscarora mines, which, even before the well-known Comstock lode had reached its point of highest production, had yielded gold and silver having a value of millions of dollars. Nevada has long been a great producer of the precious metals and has also contributed to the world's metallic wealth large amounts of copper, lead, and zinc. The fame of the Comstock lode became world-wide as long ago as 1860, and in those days prospecting was the principal business of the rapidly increasing population of this region. Many valuable ore deposits were discovered during the ten years following, and the mining of silver in Nevada reached its highest activity in the seventies and eighties. The decline of silver Under a ruling of the committee on high school text books, of the state board of education, all classics in the languages, such as Shakespeare, Tennyson, etc., are construed as supplemental or illustrative material, and not as text books. They therefore, should be bought by the school and furnished without expense to pupils. This means another relief to the book-buying parent. The purchasers of scrip are entitled to have selected for them an equal amount of unappropriated and non-mineral government land in California by surrendering the same to the surveyor general and filing an application for the land desired. Indemnity certificates are not transferable. Land withdrawn for any purpose by the U.S. government cannot be selected. For information relative to vacant land, address the U.S. Land Office in the district where the land is located. Each person qualified to purchase state school land is entitled to 640 acres of land not suitable for cultivation or 320 acres of land suitable for cultivation. If a person owns government land, that fact will not preclude him from purchasing scrip and obtaining 640 acres of government land as school land. A citizen of the United States or one who has declared his intention to become such, a resident of this state and of lawful age is qualified to purchase scrip. Bids for scrip are not received by mail. The party bidding must appear Steinmesch Chamberlain And West Coast CHICKEN FOOD and Other Poultry Supplies AT H. H.
