SAN FRANCISCO'S VOTE San Francisco, Aug. 16.—Fine weather brought out a heavy early vote at the primaries here today, many of the workingmen voting before going to work. From the size of the vote cast during the first two hours, the total promises to be as heavy as at a regular state election. It was stated at democratic headquarters that contests for local, district and congressional nominations in that party were bringing out most of its registered strength. No disorder was reported from any of the polling places, although the workers were more than usually active about the booths. The day was sunny but cool, and it was expected the influence of the pleasant weather conditions on the size of the vote cast would be considerale. The 215 polling booths which had been provided for today's primaries proved inadequate. In the city and county primaries last fall only 149 booths were used, as against 310 for the general election. But the increase made for today's primaries was quickly proved to be insufficient and the registrar of voters stated at an early hour that hereafter he would provide as many polling places for the statewide primary as for the general election.

Black to Jay Sternberg, consideration $5000 PLEASANT PROSPECT The dark world had become rosy and sweet. A new dawn had entered into Harkaways' vision, and it was all gloriously golden. Mabel, as they paced the sands on that wonderful moonlight night, had yielded to his passionate entreaties, in which he had voiced all the aspirations of his ardent nature, and had spoken a soft yes to his question. "Yes, Harold," she had murmured, with a shy glance at the pale moon—"yes, dear, I will be your wife." For a long while Harkaway was silent. He feared to break the spell of the moment with ordinary human speech. So far and away beyond his real expectations had her answer been that it was difficult for him for the time being to realize that it was not all a dream, and who could tell but the sound of his own voice would awaken him to a lonely reality? Thus they walked on for a brief period, and then summoning his courage to his aid he ventured: "Say it again, Mabel—let the enchanting assent come once more to my devoted ears that I may know it is true." "Yes, Harold," she repeated, "yes, dear, I will be your wife." He folded her in his arms, and a kindly cloud obscured the moon for a second, as though to hide her blushes. "Tomorrow I shall go to New York." they walked on for a brief period, and then summoning his courage to his aid he ventured.: "Say it again, Mabel—let the enchanting assent come once more to my devoted ears that I may know it is true." "Yes, Harold," she repeated, "yes, dear, I will be your wife." He folded her in his arms, and a kindly cloud obscured the moon for a second, as though to hide her blushes. "Tomorrow I shall go to New York," he cried, his heart elate. "What is your father's address, my sweetheart?" "Father?" she repeated. "Oh—father's address—why, it is steen-hundred and two Wall street. What do you want daddy's address for, dear?" "I am going to ask him to smile upon our"——he began. "Oh, no, Harold," she remonstrated, "I wouldn't do that. Dad's very busy, and we never bother him with little things." "Little things?" he cried. "Yes, dear; they annoy him very much indeed," she replied. "I don't think I'm engaged to a single man now who's been to see popper—it always makes him so mad when the fall comes and I break it off." But why do you talk of getting a divorce; you told me yourself that I make biscuits just like your mother used to make. That's the reason. I see you have an actor employed on the farm. Yes, I put him on. He is a whaling good actor, too. Thought he was working the first week he was here. Tell me, sir, why you have so utterly failed to get a clew to this crime? Detective—Taint my fault. The reporters are down on me, and they won't tell me nothing. "Charity soup," said she. 'Bosh, I'll tell you how they concoct that. They just take a quart of water and boll it down to a pint to make it strong.'" Last year there were approximately 200 less deaths from typhoid fever than there were in 1906. As not more than one case of typhoid fever in ten ordinarily results in death, it is computed that there were 2000 less cases of typhoid last year than in 1906. The expenditure for the services of nurses and physicians in a case of typhoid fever is seldom less than $300, and sometime amounts to many thousands of dollars. Without taking account of loss of time and impaired earning capacity, and taking the very low estimate of $300 as a basis, it will be seen that the 2000 less typhoid cases represent a saving of $60,000. This saving of lives and expenditure of money is due in a large measure to the installation of sewage disposal plants that prevent the hardy typhoid bacillus from passing into the streams that supply California towns with water. I went to the phrenologist's last week. Oh, what did he tell you? I can't understand; he coughed a little and then gave me back my money. Camping wagon and team for hire; to responsible party.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE SOIL CONSERVATION How to restore and maintain the productivity of the soil is the most important phase of the conservation problem. We are no longer a new nation. We have deluded ourselves with the idea that we have unbounded resources in land, in forests, in mineral wealth. We have been prodigal in the utilization of these resources. We must now pay the penalty of this prodigality. In many of our older communities soil fertility has been reduced below the point of profitable production. Nation-wide effort at the present time, through federal and state agency, is directed toward the restoration of fertility in these localities. We must cease abusing the soil, says W. J. Spellman, in a recently issued bulletin of the department of agriculture. The renting of land on short leases for the purpose of growing grain for market is one of the surest means of reducing the productive power of the soil. The domestic animal, with well managed pastures and rational systems of crop rotation, is preeminently adapted to the development of permanent systems of profitable farming. Landowners must realize this and must take steps to improve renting methods by stocking farms with a full complement of domestic animals, where the renter is not able to do this for himself, and by giving longer leases, whereby the renter may reap the reward of intelligent management. Land owned originally by the government has, in the main, been wisely given into the hands of millions of small owners, each of whom manages his own holdings as an independent proprietor. This method of disposing of the national domain has led to the rapid creation of well-distributedency of those agencies that in recent years have been built up in this country with a view to meeting the problems of soil conservation and agricultural readjustment. At noon yesterday the following nominations were announced: For governor, Hiram W. Johnson; for supreme court, H. A. Melvin and M. C. Sloss; for secretary of state, Walter D.

Keep Cool complement of domestic animals, where the renter is not able to do this for himself, and by giving longer leases, whereby the renter may reap the reward of intelligent management. Land owned originally by the government has, in the main, been wisely given into the hands of millions of small owners, each of whom manages his own holdings as an independent proprietor. This method of disposing of the national domain has led to the rapid creation of well-distributed wealth. It has meant conservation by utilization on the part of a maximum number of private owners. But the very magnitude and richness of this heritage has led to such prodigality in its use that now, when the period of settlement is practically past, we find ourselves confronted with increased demands for food, which must be met by solls that have been depleted of much of their yielding power. This is an important factor in the recent increase in the cost of food. The problem of cheap and abundant food is a fundamental one in all industrial development. It was the abundance and cheapness of food that made possible the marvelous progress witnessed in this country during the past century. During the last sixty years we have brought into cultivation the largest and richest body of agricultural land in the world. While this land was new and rich the production of abundant crops was accomplished at little expense and with little knowledge of the principles of conservation of soil fertility. This period of exploitative farming is now past. The cost of production is now enhanced by low yields, or the use of expensive methods of maintaining the high yields. Whether the era of the cheap and abundant food is past depends on our ability as a people to develop cheaper and better means of production than now prevail. We no longer have unlimited undeveloped agricultural resources. Future increase in production must come largely from better methods of farming. Whether we, as a nation, shall attain these improved methods after a long period of depression, accompanied by slow adjustment to new conditions, as has been the case in older countries, or whether we shall attack the problem resolute and intelligently and adopt improved methods as soon as the situation demands, depends on the efficiency.
