THAT AUTOMOBILE BOYCOTT We are informed a Los Angeles paper in its issue of Sunday printed the statement that automobilists are preparing to "boycott" this city, because of its speed ordinance, and that drivers of autos are liable to arrest here when making ten miles an hour. Marshal Kellenberger was considerably amused at the item, and says no officer molests a driver going less than 25 miles an hour. The speed limit in the business center, it is true, is ten miles, and it seems proper for motor cars to be compelled to slow down where so many people are continuously on the street. Outside of the business center a speed of 25 miles is permitted without molestation, but drivers making an excess of this speed are placed under arrest. The city authorities find it necessary to fix a speed limit, when so many sprigs of gentility run away with the notion that our paved streets were constructed merely as race courses. For instance, recently a Los An- PERKINS ON FREE LEMONS Speaks in Defense of California Citrus Industry Senator George C. Perkins of California proved himself a friend to lemon growers in the upper house of the national legislature August 1st, when an amendment had been offered by Senator Johnson of Maine to the pending house free list bill placing lemons on the free list. Senator Perkins vigorously combatted the amendment, and was instrumental in defeating it. He caused the following letter from W. L. Moulton to be read: Dear Senator: As representing the citrus-fruit growers of California, I beg to submit for your information the following: The producers of California citrus fruit desire an opportunity of being heard before any action is taken by the present session of congress on the schedule affecting citrus fruit. They are now causing to be tabulated data statistics covering all features and phases of the lemon industry, in both California and Sicily, and from the ground to the consumer. To get this vast amount of data in succinct and intelligent form requires the expenditure of a good deal of time and a large amount of labor, and we respectfully submit that full hearing of all pertinent facts should be accorded to the domestic producers. The output of California citrus fruits this year is the greatest in its history, a total of about forty-odd thousand carloads of oranges and about 7000 carloads of lemons being shipped. The amount of capital invested in the citrus-fruit industry, in been increased 30 per cent stead of supplying only 50 per cent.

Carpenter on Monday morning displayed remarkable nerve vast amount of data in succinct and intelligent form requires the expenditure of a good deal of time and a large amount of labor, and we respectfully submit that full hearing of all pertinent facts should be accorded to the domestic producers. The output of California citrus fruits this year is the greatest in its history, a total of about forty-odd thousand carloads of oranges and about 7000 carloads of lemons being shipped. The amount of capital invested in the citrus-fruit industry in California is approximately $166,800,000. One hundred and fifty thousand citizens of the United States and residents of the state of California are directly dependent on that industry for a livelihood. Regarding California lemons specifically, will say that the production has increased about 25 per cent since the Payne-Aldrich act took effect, with also an increase in planting since the same date of 30 per cent. Before the tariff of 1 1/2 cents per pound on foreign lemons went into effect California was producing about 40 per cent of the lemons consumed in the United States, and since that time about 50 per cent of the entire consumption. The records of the United States treasury department will show that the increase in imports of foreign lemons was about 25,000,000 pounds for the year immediately following the passage of the Payne-Aldrich act. The revenue collected on imported lemons during the fiscal year 1909 was $1,350,738.88, and in 1910, the duty collected amounted to $2,233,526.87, the largest revenue ever collected in any one fiscal year on imported lemons. Without going into this feature extensively, I just wish to call to your attention prices which each and every member of congress can himself readily verify. In the city of Washington, D.C., good quality lemons have at no time for months past been higher than 15 cents per dozen, frequently at 10 cents per dozen, but a general average price would be 12 cents per dozen. These low prices to the consumer have prevailed only since the Payne-Aldrich act went into effect. The yield of apples in the United States last year was 23,825,000 barrels, and, with no import duty on this variety of fruit, they have practically for many months been selling for 5 cents an individual fruit—or, in other words, the cost of two to three apples equals the cost of a dozen lemons. In further confirmation of low prices of lemons since the Payne-Aldrich act became effective, A Men's equal suit league has been formed. Angeles.

Carpenter on Monday morning displayed remarkable nerve and fortitude. He is head operator at the Southern Counties Gas Company plant at Santa Ana. Some other employee had left a valve open, and when Carpenter started the machinery to going he was met with a sudden burst of flames that burned his face, neck, right arm, shoulder and side and left arm. He quickly pulled off his burning clothing, then he walked to the telephone and called up his foreman and told him to send another man to take his place. He then got on his motorcycle and rode over a mile to his home. After examining the burns a physician pronounced them very bad and ordered the patient to a hospital. The burns are not fatal. FIXES A PRICE In response to the request of the city trustees of Santa Ana for prices on its distributing plant and on electricity at wholesale, the Southern California Edison Company Monday evening through its vice-president, R. H. Ballard of Los Angeles, offered to sell its distributing plant for $165,000, and to furnish electricity, wholesale at 2 cents per kilowatt hour. The offer was made with the proviso that Santa Ana, sign a contract to buy all its electricity from the company for a term of fifteen years. The price of $165,000 does not include the sub-station, stables, office furniture and the high-power lines. No action was taken in regard to the offer. The lemon industry was established in California about 20 years ago. In the course of 10 years 6500 acres were planted in the southern portion of the state. The Dingley tariff act encouraged development, and the acreage amounted in 1892 to 15,000 acres. It was then found that the tariff rate of 1 cent per pound was not sufficient protection and the acreage decreased until in 1904 there were only about 9200 acres. At this point in the history of the lemon industry the transcontinental railroads awoke to the fact that it was but a question of time until the cultivation of lemons in California would cease; and they reduced the rate on this product from $1.25 to $1 per pound from points in California to points in the United States and Canada. With this incentive, the acreage increased until in 1909 we had 16,700 acres, with an annual output of 1,585,000 boxes. Since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which increased the duty on lemons to 1-2 cents per pound, the increased out put of California lemons has been 25 per cent, and the acreage planted has the consumer have prevailed only since the Payne-Aldrich act went into effect. The yield of apples in the United States last year was 23,825,-000 barrels, and, with no import duty on this variety of fruit, they have practically for many months been selling for 5 cents an individual fruit—or, in other words, the cost of two to three apples equals the cost of a dozen lemons. In further confirmation of low prices of lemons since the Payne-Aldrich act became effective, will note that the selling price of lemons during the week preceding the 4th of July is generally one of the highest of the summer, and for that week, ending July 1, 1911 (duty 1 1-2 cents per pound), the average f.o.b. price per box for California lemons was $1.47 less than the average f.o.b. during the same period in 1909 (duty 1 cent per pound.)

WOMEN WANT THE BALLOT Notes of the Combat from Political Equality League Editor Gazette.—Editorially the papers of California are standing by the suffrage movement. There are papers, of course, that do not espouse the work nor the workers for Amendment Eight, but, like a certain breakfast food, "there's a reason." Many of those opposing are catering to or are owned by interests which do not favor the introduction into the body politic of more voters. These papers cry aloud that the place for woman is "in the home," or that the women of California do not want to vote or that it will destroy the nation. But the papers that are working for the amendment, lending their influence, their space and their news columns to augment the work that has been carried to the far corners of the state, are representative of the best interests, the highest good and are therefore approved by those people who stand for the best in government. Standing for the best they are supported by the best. A Men's equal suffrage campaign league has been formed in Los Angeles. The entire second floor of a building in the heart of the city has been engaged and the front portion of the headquarters turned over to the central committee, which is composed of representatives of all the FOR SALE Loose Alfalfa Hay of Extra Good Quality IN FIELD OR DELIVERED TIM CARROLL Pacific phone: 413 ANAHEIM, CAL.

He had no difficulty in passing himself off for a native QUEST OF YOUR CLUB FOR MY OPINION AS TO THE ADVISABILITY OF GIVING VOTES TO WOMEN, I WILL SAY: "I believe every citizen, man or woman, should take an active part in the affairs of the city, county, state and nation. Our women are as intelligent as our men; they have as much or more time to study the governmental problems of the day; they are as much, if not more, interested in right doing, and they should have the right to vote. "The elective franchise carries with it a duty as well as a right, and both men and women should be compelled to attend to that duty. Geo. Alexander." Political Equality League. Los Angeles, Aug. 29. ENORMOUS COAL VALUATIONS Under the present scheme of classifying government coal land 56,089,214 acres of withdrawn land had been on August 1, examined in geologic detail and classified. The land found to contain workable coal beds aggregated 16,873,370 acres. These lands, in 40 acre tracts, have been appraised at a total valuation of $711,-992,537., in prices ranging from the minimum figure stated in the coal-law—$10, or $20 an acre, according to whether the land is located within 15 miles of the railroad—to figures of over $400 an acre where the thickness of the coal beds may aggregate 60, 80, or 100 feet, or even more. The government valuations accord in a general way with the market values of private coal lands in the west, although as a matter of fact they are somewhat more liberal to the purchaser. Four hundred dollars an acre may seem a high price for Uncle Sam's coal land, which a few years ago might have been bought for $20 an acre. However, the geological survey's plan of classification and valuation contemplates that the government should receive at least a reasonable return for its coal, admitted- ELUDED OFFICERS, CAUGHT After successfully eluding detection for three years by passing himself off for a Jap, Chia Fuk, a contraband Chinese and a deserter from the United States navy, was captured on Monday night by Immigration Inspector Blee of Santa Ana. Chia will probably be deported. He looks much like a Jap, and can talk the language fairly well. He had no difficulty in passing himself off for a native of Japan. Chia got along very well until the immigration officer learned that Chia was sending his money orders to a Chinese in Hong Kong. John A. Maclin, 24, and Anita Calkins, 21, of Los Angeles, will have to be married over again if they want their marriage to stick legally. They have found themselves in the same predicament other couples have had to weather. They have attempted to be married in one conuty on a marriage license issued in another, which may be all right with Cupid but won't do with the state of California. Maclin got the marriage license in Santa Ana on August 3, and he and Miss Calkins were married in Los Angeles by Rev. Henry Hurley, a Baptist minister. Rev. Hurley sent the marriage certificate to Santa Ana to be recorded. Recorder Peters looked the document over, and when he discovered that the ceremony had been performed outside of this county he wrote a letter to Rev. Hurley telling him that there had been no legal marriage to record and advising him to get Maclin and Miss Calkins married again and married right. FOR SALE—Automobile for sale.

The body of "Triangle Rubber" is tough felt, very flexible, elastic, and strong. This is thoroughly saturated with a secret wafer-proofing compound containing a large percentage of California Rock Asphalt. By this process every thread and fibre of the felt thoroughly absorbs the compound. Both sides of this felt body are coated with a tough elastic shell which preserves the natural vitality of the felt. Where there is no unusual wear and tear on the roof such as walking over it, "Triangle Rubber" will last longer and give better service than any standard ready roofing on the market today. It is weather, water and acid proof and fire resisting. Triangle Rubber Roofing is made in three thicknesses, it is pui up in rolls of one square (108 sq ft) nails and cement and complete directions for laying in every roll.
