REPEAL OF FREE SUGAR CLAUSE The New Orleans Picayune writes hopefully of the prospect of the repeal of the free sugar clause in the Underwood tariff law, before the clause becomes effective May 1, 1916. It is possible that a canvass of the vote of the next House of Representatives would show a decided majority in favor of repealing this clause, or even in favor of restoring the republican rates on sugar, but the question is, will the next chairman of the ways and means committee and the floor leader, Mr. Kitchen, dare to put it to the test by opening up the whole tariff law to amendment. With a majority of but 29 in the House it would be a ticklish situation at best. In an attempt to put a republican president in the hole, and in order to play politics, the democrats in the 62nd Congress brought in several tariff bills to amend certain schedules of existing law—pop-gun bills as they were called. One of these schedules passed the house with little difficulty, but when it got to the Senate an amendment reducing duties on an additional schedule of the law was tied to the House bill and carried through. Like the rest of the tariff tomfoolery of that session, it received the presidential veto. It is hardly possible that with the small democratic majority in the MORE CARLESSNESS IN CONGRESS Congressional carlessness has raised a doubt as to the integrity of the law taxing future sales of cotton and has thrown the statute into the courts. A suit has been brought in the federal courts to test the constitutionality of the act, on the ground that it is a revenue measure originating in the Senate. The title declares that it is an act to tax the privilege of dealing on exchanges, boards of trade and similar places in contracts on the sale of cotton for future delivery. It was introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina, and was first passed by the senate, the house afterwards approving the Senate bill with amendments. Section 3 of the act provides that upon any contract of sale of any cotton for future delivery made on any exchange, etc., there is hereby levied a tax of two cents for each pound of cotton included in such contract. The administration of the law is delegated to the commissioner of internal revenue. Section 7, article 1 of the constitution provides that all bills raising revenue shall originate in the house of representatives. It is on this section of the constitution that the plaintiffs in the suit rely, together with the claim that the Smith bill was in the class referred to in the constitutional requirement and the fact that the law was first passed by the Senate. The courts may or may not decide the case in favor of the government. The fact remains that by the exercise of ordinary care and forethought, the democrats could have prevented all doubt and litigation on this point by the simple expedient of first passing the measure in the house. It is proposed to hospital grounds reef of the lawn. The law done and a goodly mould has been mixed. The question of what automatic system of be installed was reef Smith, of Orange, board of supervisors board favors the insignia sprinklers for matter taken down visors, and it was done into the proposition was a large area left lawn. It is believed of the upkeep of the decreased if automatic same kind were instituted.

CHINESE EGGG FLOODING AMERICAN MARKET In a recent issue of the Commerce Reports, vice-consul Gilbert, of Nanking, China, writes that exporters purchase their eggs at that point for 40 to 42 cents per gross. He states that at the time of making his report the following consignments were arranged for: Fresh eggs, to San Francisco, 102,000 dozen, at $0.046; Seattle, 311,000 dozen, at $0.046; Tacoma, 521,833 dozen, at $0.046. Eggs, frozen, in tins, to New York city, 7,523,318 pounds, at $0.03; Seattle, 656,000 pounds, at $0.03. The territory covered by agents radiating from Nanking produces 75,000 dozen eggs daily for export. The cause for this activity is not far to seek. The democratic tariff law of 1913 took off the duty of 5 cents a dozen levied by the republican tariff, since which time egg prices to farmers on the western coast have been greatly depreciated by the influx from the orient. The Chinese are only beginning to learn the advantage of a free trade market in the United States, and already extensive developments are under way to enlarge and organize the egg industry, while several factories are in process of construction to manufacture dried eggs for the American market to be used by bakeries. If the democratic tariff law concludes with the conclusion of existing law—pop-gun bills as they were called. One of these schedules passed the house with little difficulty, but when it got to the Senate an amendment reducing duties on an additional schedule of the law was tied to the House bill and carried through. Like the rest of the tariff tomfoolery of that session, it received the presidential veto. It is hardly possible that with the small democratic majority in the House an attempt would be made to limit consideration to the sugar schedule alone, and especially would this be true should the request come from the president. The Tammany contingent will have the balance of power in the 64th congress and any bouquet which they may present to the president within the next two years is more than likely to secret a polnard. The democrats will consider it easier to issue bonds to meet public expenditures than to repeal the free sugar clause. BIG WALNUT CROP The walnut crop of this section will be at least two weeks earlier this year than last, according to numerous reports, which means that the harvest will be well under way by the middle of September. In addition to its earliness, the crop will be the biggest one in many years—25 per cent above normal, some growers place it, after deducting losses through blight. Relative to the blight, County Horticultural Commissioner Roy Bishop, who is well acquainted with conditions says the percentage of walnuts affected by the disease this season is not greater than in former years. "Some years there is a less percentage of walnuts affected by blight" said Bishop. "When the dry atmosphere prevails at blossoming the walnuts are less affected. This year there was considerable moist weather during the time when the walnuts blossomed." "The walnuts became infected early in the season. It is not until about this time of year, however, that the effect of the disease becomes apparent. "It is true there is a heavy drop of walnuts at the present time, but the percentage of infected walnuts this year is not greater than in previous years." "The crop is so large that in spite of the heavy drop the county will harvest a greater amount of walnuts than ever before. "I would say at a conservative estimate that the county will lose approximately $300,000 from walnuts affected by blight. This seems startling at first glance, but it must be taken into consideration that the loss will not be greater this year than the average street radiatings will be ornamented with a variety will be started in important improvements will be kept down the trees being obtained and the work being ty's chain gang lected and routes are angethorpe avenue nue west to county pensis, 3 miles.

ORANGE COUNTY FF The Avocado is M San Fran The exhibit of a C. P. Taft, at the S sition, is the best Orange county of made there. Such made to Mr. Taft few days ago by W is in charge of O plays at the great ern city, he also h exhibits made by Los Angeles chamb at the San Diego and Mrs. Taft retu a three weeks' visit. The statement ing after the exh been greatly depreciated by the influx from the orient. The Chinese are only beginning to learn the advantage of a free trade market in the United States, and already extensive developments are under way to enlarge and organize the egg industry, while several factories are in process of construction to manufacture dried eggs for the American market to be used by bakeries. If the democratic tariff law continues on the statute books the American hens will have to declare a vacation. The Federal treasury statement for Saturday, July 17, showed a balance of $71,051,288.96 in the general fund compared with $126,133,585.69 on the same date two years previous, under republican laws. The deficit for the first 15 working days of the new fiscal year was $13,142,587.94, showing that the administration is running behind at the rate of $876,000 per day. The amount of building in Chicago the first half of 1915, as indicated by permits issued, was $37,000,000 against $44,000,000 for the corresponding period of 1914. This is a pretty poor showing for a city which in 1911 ran above $100,000,000 in its building expenditures and in other years has been more than $90,000,000. Real estate transfers for the first half of this year foot up $56,000,000 against 000,000 the first half of 1914. Why does all this prosperity, which the democrats talk about, show, some reflection in the transactions of the Federal treasury. The Government is now running behind in its expenses nearly a million dollars a day. Surely, if the country is so prosperous because of the mushroom development of war orders, that prosperity ought to show itself for the benefit of others than the owners of or speculators in war stocks. At the meeting of the board of forestry County Forrester Grant stated he would have plenty of trees of various varieties ready to make a planting of nearly 90 miles to complete the 100 miles, there having been about 12 miles of trees already set out. It is the intention of the board of forestry to start planting about November 1, or immediately after the first rain. The ground will then be in better shape for digging. At the meeting of the forestry board an estimate was made as to the amount that would be needed to carry on the roadside planting for the next year. The amount fixed upon is $8,000. That includes the care of the nursery, salary for the forester, expenses of planting, watering and cultivating, and the upkeep of the forestry equipment. Chairman Bradford was appointed as a committee to "The crop is so large that in spite of the heavy drop the county will harvest a greater amount of walnuts than ever before. "I would say at a conservative estimate that the county will lose approximately $300,000 from walnuts affected by blight. This seems startling at first glance, but it must be taken into consideration that the loss will not be greater this year than the average of former years. "Few people realize how much more fortunate Orange county is in the matter of blight than some other counties in California. Blight is much worse in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties than it is in Orange. Who's Hazel? Your Druggist? FORESTRY BOARD STARTS PLANTING NOVEMBER 1 The Board Will Need $8000 for Next Year's Expenses At the meeting of the board of forestry County Forrester Grant stated he would have plenty of trees of various varieties ready to make a planting of nearly 90 miles to complete the 100 miles, there having been about 12 miles of trees already set out. It is the intention of the board of forestry to start planting about November 1, or immediately after the first rain. The ground will then be in better shape for digging. At the meeting of the forestry board an estimate was made as to the amount that would be needed to carry on the roadside planting for the next year. The amount fixed upon is $8,000. That includes the care of the nursery, salary for the forester, expenses of planting, watering and cultivating, and the upkeep of the forestry equipment. Chairman Bradford was appointed as a committee to take up the matter of appropriation with the board of supervisors. It is proposed to have the county hospital grounds ready for planting of the lawn. The leveling has been done and a goodly quantity of leaf mould has been mixed with the soil. The question of whether or not an automatic system of sprinkling should be installed was referred to Willard Smith, of Orange, member of the board of supervisors. The forestry board favors the installation of such a system before the law is planted. A Los Angeles firm sent an estimate to furnish the pipe and install patient sprinklers for $890. Later this matter was taken up with the supervisors, and it was concluded to look into the proposition further. There was a large area left for flowers and lawn. It is believed that the expense of the upkeep of the lawn would be decreased if automatic sprinklers of same kind were installed. BUENA PARK ROADS WILL BE BEAUTIFIED County Forester Preparing to Plant Miles of Shade Trees Through the good offices of the county forester, J. M. Grant, and a committee of the Buena Park chamber of commerce, a number of the streets radiating from Buena Park will be ornamented in the near future with a variety of trees. Work will be started in November on this important improvement. The cost will be kept down to the minimum, the trees being obtained at a low rate and the work being done by the county's chain gang. The varieties selected and routes are as follows: Orangenthorpe avenue from Grand avenue west to county line, Pinus Hale- McPHEE ATTACKS HIGH COST OF LIVING FILES CHARGES AGAINST PACIFIC COAST BISCUIT COMPANY OF LOS ANGELES CANS MARKED SIX AND ONE-HALF POUNDS OF BISCUIT CONTAIN LESS THAN FIVE County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee took another whirl at the high cost of living this week when he swore to a complain charging the Pacific Coast Biscuit company of Los Angeles with violation of the State Net Container act, the specific instance being the selling by that corporation of soda crackers in cans that were marked as containing more than the actual weight of the commodity. The line is known to the trade as Swastika crackers and the cans complained of were marked six and one-half pounds net weight, when in reality they contained less than 5 pounds. McPhee located several places in Santa Ana that carried the output of the Los Angeles concern, and after satisfying himself that the commodity was not full weight, as indicated on the containers, he notified the Pacific Coast Biscuit company of his discovery and gave the manager of the corporation the choice of shouldering the full responsibility or he would forthwith prosecute every retailer in whose possession the short-weight goods coal in 1914. In order not to reveal the individual output of these mines their production is grouped with that of the one producing mine in each of the states of Idaho and Nevada, and the total combined production of the three states in 1914 is given at 13,974 tons valued at $39,821. Coal mining and the coal trade generally in California lay little claim to importance among the industries of the state, particularly since the beginning of the present century, when the production of petroleum began to exert so powerful an influence on the fuel consumption of the Pacific coast. From 1910 to 1912, inclusive, the coal production of the state was only a little more than 10,000 tons in each year; in 1913 work was resumed on the Stone Canyon properties in Monterey county, and the production increased to 24,839 short tons, valued at $84,073. The output of 1914, however, showed an appreciable decrease. The only other production in 1914 was from the lone mines, in Amador county. SOUTHLAND GARDEN FOR ORANGE SHOW Georgeous to be Decorative Scheme of Exposition State's Great Fruit A southland garden effect for the decorative scheme of the sixth national orange show, to be held at San Bernardino, February 17 to 24 next year, has been proposed by F. M. Renfro, general manager, to the executive committee. Overhead it is planned, will be the foliage of a veritable garden, with song birds warbling among the greenery and flowers. The scheme for the exposition grounds is worked out in a rustic way with pergolas clad with wisteria and other clinging vines, interspersed with orange hued lights for the brilliant night streets radiating from Buena Park will be ornamented in the near future with a variety of trees. Work will be started in November on this important improvement. The cost will be kept down to the minimum, the trees being obtained at a low rate and the work being done by the county's chain gang. The varieties selected and routes are as follows: Orangethorpe avenue from Grand avenue west to county line, Pinus Halepensis, 3 miles. Grand avenue from Orangethorpe south to Anaheim road, Cedrus Deodara, 2½ miles. Orangethorpe avenue east from Grand avenue to state highway, Cedrus Deodara, 4¼ miles.

Who's Hazel? Your Druggist? ORANGE COUNTY'S NEW FRUIT IS POPULAR The Avocado is Making Great Hit at San Francisco Fair The exhibit of avocados, made by C. P. Taft, at the San Francisco exposition, is the best advertisement for Orange county of any fruit exhibits made there. Such was the statement made to Mr. Taft at the exposition a few days ago by W. D. McDanald, who is in charge of Orange county's displays at the great show in the northern city, he also having charge of the exhibits made by this county in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce and at the San Diego exposition. Mr. and Mrs. Taft returned last week from a three weeks' visit in San Francisco. The statement of the person looking after the exhibits from this inter- McPhee located several places in Santa Ana that carried the output of the Los Angeles concern, and after satisfying himself that the commodity was not full weight, as indicated on the containers, he notified the Pacific Coast Biscuit company of his discovery and gave the manager of the corporation the choice of shouldering the full responsibility or he would forthwith prosecute every retailer in whose possession the short-weight goods were found. "I don't want to prosecute the retailers," said McPhee, "but I am tired of having the Los Angeles dealers play hide and seek with me by challenging my authority on the ground that I have no jurisdiction over sales of short weight commodities made in Los Angeles to dealers in this county, and if the retailers do not get in and assist me voluntarily, they must accept the alternative." Don' shoot and I'll come down, said Manager Morgan, of the Biscuit company, after duly weighing McPhee's ultimatum, and as a basis of settlement the representative of the Los Angeles firm promised to forthwith arrange to have every last can of the short-weight goods sent back to the factory and to come into court and plead guilty as charged. This means that several hundred cans of crackers will be sent back to the Los Angeles factory to be reweighed and properly marked and will incidentally serve as a lesson to those responsible that the law must be obeyed in future or possibly something more serious may happen. McPhee has two cases pending in which the claim is made by the Los Angeles dealers that the Orange county courts have no jurisdiction notwithstanding the fact that the goods complained of were short weight, the contention of he Los Angeles men being hat the sales were made in Los Angeles and are therefore out of the jurisdiction of the Orange county sealer. The biscuit company's manager was as good as his word, for Monday afternoon he called up District Attorney West and asked to be allowed to plead guilty at long range, which favor being granted he was assessed the modest sum of $25 which he promised to remit forthwith to Hissoner Judge Cox. Just to keep the ball rolling, McPhee next turned his attention to the inspection of milk bottles at the county seat and from a shinmenof 47 al orange show, to be held at San Bernardino, February 17 to 24 next year, has been proposed by F. M. Renfro, general manager, to the executive committee. Overhead it is planned, will be the foliage of a veritable garden, with song birds warbling among the greenery and flowers. The scheme for the exposition grounds is worked out in a rustic way with pergolas clad with wisteria and other clinging vines, interspersed with orange hued lights for the brilliant night effect. A pergola will be erected over the entire display of prize fruits that will form the garden wall. Rusc benches will be placed at intervals about the grounds. The plans for the exposition exceed in magnitude any of the previous National Orange Shows which have been staged by the citrus fruit growers of California and the people of San Bernardino to portray the beauties and riches of the orange. The poster design, to be used in advertising the exposition has been selected. With the arrowhead, the famous landmark that is emblazoned on the mountains above the city, as a background transfixed in a field of sun kissed skies, beauty, the queen of the southland sit coronated on an orange throne, the orange being halved, the flaming color of the orange contrasting with the rose tinted cheeks of beauty. On either side of the throne spread orange groves while in the background are the mountains that show the arrowhead. INDIANS TO HOLD GREAT POW-WOW Big Indian chiefs from the government reservations in Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming; college bred Indians of much learning and polish, and a few hundred Indian workers and government officials, will attend the great Indian pow-wow, or convention, which will be held in San Francisco from August 8 to 15, under the auspices of the Panama-Pacific international exposition. The Indian congress has been called for the discussion of problems of national interest respecting the American Indian question relative to his future welfare. Nearly all of the Indian associations in the United States will participate. The northern California Indian association, the national Indian association and the Indian rights association are among the leading bodies which will have representatives In the horticultural palace and in the California building there are on display numbers of avocados. Mr. McDanald said that these fruits cause many inquiries from visitors at the big show. Many of them have heard of the fruit before, hence were eager to learn more about how it is grown, what its fruit value is and in what kind of climate and soil it is most profitably and abundantly produced. Others, who have never before heard of avocadoes, nor seen any of the rich fruit, are also deeply interested in them, hence it is necessary for the man looking after the displays from this county to make numerous explanations.

Just to keep the ball rolling, McPhee next turned his attention to the inspection of milk bottles at the county seat, and from a shipmenof 47 gross that came all the way from West Virginia, he harvested 7 gross of short measure pints, which were confiscated and will be destroyed. POWDER WORKERS GET INCREASE Employees of the Aetna Chemical company and the Aena Explosive company of New York which operate plants at Aetna, a suburb of Gary, Thebes, Ill., and Ishpeming, Mich., have been granted wage increases of 50 per cent, it was announced Monday. According to the announcement of the companies, the employees will be granted a further increase of 50 per cent if the European war lasts beyond December of this year. Effective August 1 the employees were given a voluntary increase of 10 per cent in wages and a similar monthly increase will be made for five montas. If at the end of that period the war still permits and the experiment is a success, monthly advances will continue until June 1, 1916, when the workers will be receiving 100 per cent increase over today's wages.

WILL INVADE FOREIGN MARKETS WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—A flying squadron of government commercial scouts will prepare the way for an invasion of world markets heretofore dominated by Europe. Under plans perfected by Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, agents will be sent to South America, Africa, Australia and the Far East, covering practically the whole world, except the European war area, their reports to be submitted to American manufacturers. Juan Homs and Frank H. von Motz will make a world-wide investigation of the market for agricultural implements, Homs starting in South Africa and covering Australia and probably the far East. Von Motz will cover the South American continent. The investigations will take nearly a year. Special agents also will be sent to study the furniture and wearing apparel markets in Latin America, supplementing work now in progress in the far East. Special Agent Walter Fischer, investigating the fruit markets in South America, now is touring fruit districts of the United States to determine the possibilities of export trade. Special Agent R. M. Odell is in China studying the cotton goods market, with particular reference to Japanese competition, while F. M. Smith is preparing a world review of the lumber industry.
