NOT NATIONAL BUT PARTY DEFENSE Secretary Garrison has hitherto been recognized as one of the two strong men in the cabinet. The secretary is in danger of losing this reputation. Whether the call of the wild of his party followers in New Jersey who want Garrison to run for governor has turned the secretary's head or whether the dire necessities of his chief are the moving cause, may not be stated with positiveness. But the fact remains that, for some reason or other, Mr. Garrison has laid aside the atmosphere of efficient silence in which he has heretofore been doing his work and now bursts into print with absurb and petulant criticism of all who venture to express an opinion contrary to that held by the administration. His rebuke of Gen. Leonard Wood is a case in point. And more recently has come another in a published rejoinder to a letter from the American Defense League in which the league accused the Wilson administration of opposing practical efforts to put the nation in a state of military preparedness. This letter, Secretary Garrison says quite obviously, was prepared to cause me embarrassment. If that is the result of the letter it is only because the secretary had put himself in a position to be embarrassed by it. fact that this country has no duty upon lumber while Canada has a duty ranging all the way from 7% to 20% per cent. On the Pacific coast, also, three of our witnesses before the commission referred to the removal of the duty as having some depressive influence upon the shiagie business and upon business through the Panama canal. No purpose is here intended to enter into a discussion of the dirt in any general way as it relates to lumber, but since the question of our coastwise laws is inextricably entangled with lumber competition between the United States and Canada and complicated by the Panama situation it seems well to outline that proposition. Until the Panama Canal was opened the coastwist trade of the United States was confined to one coast or adjoining coasts. It was coastwise trade from Savannah to New York or Galveston to Boston; it was coastwise trade from Seattle to San Francisco, from Portland to San Pedro, from San Francisco to Hawaii; but no coastwist trade existed between San Francisco and New York except as an occasional vessel might go around the Horn. With the Panama canal opened, however, a dozen vessels a week are going between American ports on the Pacific and American ports on the Atlantic. Now it so happens that the coastwise trade in the United States is by law confined to vessels of American construction and American registry. The additions to our merchant fleet made since the opening of the European war of vessels built abroad are not entitled to enter the coastwise trade, for that privilege was extended to increase our trade abroad. Our coastwise laws produce the situation that anyone wishing to ship coal or steel rails from Newport News to San Francisco must employ a vessel built in the United States and registered under the laws of the United States. The coal miner of Nova Scotia and the steel rail maker of Ontario can ship in a vessel flying any flag—that is, they enjoy the shipping competition of the world—whereas the American shipper has to enter a closed market for his transportation. The same is true in reverse as between the Pacific nation by the pass men's bill. Sixtn: The constructions of labor, we of everything grown in America is largely part of the public offence, national state and ministering the affairs, whereby we are debts, to bear the burden make the individuals erations hump-backed. Eight: The practice ofernment, national and into competition with itzen in business ventures ploneer spirit which ships and developed A killed. Ninth: Paternalism whereby we are cremendicants and incipitating $30,000,000 without interest, for the Southern cotton example of paternity. Tenth: The gradual government itself morality, notwithstanding of history which such a form of invariable led to the people who adopt tion of a system of tax equal and uniform thrifty are being robbed and vicious element preaches the de government owes it. Eleventh: The movement known as when not the off-spring is the result of misgery a desire to intermedio of others. By the mean work of various women, largely support of business men, can, by law, reform late morality, and just honesty and integrity to do by force that training and educational complish. Such are the hands have been working unbusiness interests of survive. That there some lines is due to ly has come another in a published rejoinder to a letter from the American Defense League in which the league accused the Wilson administration of opposing practical efforts to put the nation in a state of military preparedness. This letter, Secretary Garrison says quite obviously was prepared to cause me embarrassment. If that is the result of the letter it is only because the secretary had put himself in a position to be embarrassed by it. The fact is that the administration has set back the program of preparedness for more than a year. The president himself discouraged any discussion of the topic at the last session of congress, and, at a time when there was pending before the senate a proposal for the construction of an adequate under sea flotilla, he insisted upon wasting six weeks of the senate's time in a vain attempt to pass the iniquitous ship-purchase bill. It is no wonder that the administration is sensitive on this point, and the secretary's letters and interviews contribute largely to the general belief that the accusations of neglect are well founded. The president himself has also joined the lists and has made public the letters which he wrote to the War and Navy Departments last July. In these letters he tells of the quantity of though which he has devoted to the subject of preparedness. But in December last he told Congress that national defense had not been neglected and that the country had been misinformed. The fact is that he has not departed from the position he took last December and his party leaders in Congress have not departed from it. Senator Kern of Indiana, majority leader of the upper house, and Mr. Kitchin, of North Carolina, who holds an analogous post in the lower house, have lately come out in opposition to any adequate increase in either the army or navy. The party's flock will largely follow these bellwethers—and the president will be well content. A brief respite from the tension which has existed with Germany serves to turn the party's mind to ship purchase legislation and to pork barrels. If anything is to be accomplished for national defense next winter it will be by the sturdy advocacy of republican senators and representatives, with the aid of a few loyal democrats who do not echo the thoughts of Olympian superiority which emanate from the white house. At present it is plainly trade, for that privilege was extended to increase our trade abroad. Our coastwise laws produce the situation that anyone wishing to ship coal or steel rails from Newport News to San Francisco must employ a vessel built in the United States and registered under the laws of the United States. The coal miner of Novd Scotia and the steel rail maker of Ontario can ship in a vessel flying any flag—that is, they enjoy the shipping competition of the world—whereas the American shipper has to enter a closed market for his transportation. The same is true in reverse as between the Pacific and the Atlantic coast. The shipper of lumber from Seattle or Portland to New York must ship in an American built and registered vessel, costing more to build and more to operate than a similar vessel under any foreign flag. The lumber producer of Vancouver can ship to New York in any vessel chartered in the open market under normal shipping conditions—not war conditions. This means a large advantage to the British Columbia lumberman—it means somewhere from $2 to $3 a thousand in the transportation of lumber from Vancouver to New York as against Seattle to New York. It was because of this discrimination against the American coastwise shipper that the original Panama bill gave free tolls to American vessels in the coastwise trade, and it said coastwise trade and not export. The tolls on lumber through the canal are equivalent to about $1.25 a thousand feet board measure; the old import duty was $1.25 a thousand, the two together—the duty and the Panama tolls—just about offsetting the transportation advantage held by the British Columbia lumberman. But first came off the duty, and then the Panama bill was amended so that American vessels in the coastwise trade must pay the same tolls as any other. It is a mathematical certainty that when normal shipping conditions are restored, unless the impossible should happen and the absorb Seamen's bill should be fully enforced, the British Columbia lumber shipper will supply fir to our Atlantic coast and Gulf states to just such an extent as he is prepared, and cares, to do so. Now who will say that the lumbermen of Washington and Oregon have not a just and double ground for complaint since the little duty of $1.25 a thousand was taken off from lumber and the free coastwise clause of the Panama bill was repealed? WHY BUSINESS RUNS ON A FLAT TIRE As the months go by and the seasons pass without the general awakening in business long promised by the national administration; as the country accumulates gold in an amount which it never before dared dream of, the question naturally presents itself why we have had this complete par- of others.

The old catch words are used—sky high lumber tariff, lumber barons, timber monopolies etc. The facts are that there never has been a high tariff on lumber or its products, that the lumbermen in tariff matters have made less fuss than almost any other interest affected by the tariff, and that their concern has been as much for the public welfare as for their own. Apparently the new interest of the free trade press in the lumber question arose in part, says the American Lumberman, from the very brief remarks of Edward Hines of Chicago before the Federal Trade commission when he described the situation of eastern Canada lumbermen in relation to the markets of the eastern part of the United States as giving them a decided advantage which would be in part offset by the low duty that prevailed before the present tariff went into effect. His attitude was a very modest one. He stated a few transportation facts bearing upon the present condition of the lumber business and referred to the WHY BUSINESS RUNS ON A FLAT TIRE As the months go by and the seasons pass without the general awakening in business long promised by the national administration; as the country accumulates gold in an amount which it never before dared dream of, the question naturally presents itself why have we had this complete paralysis of American commercial activity? Why are the great masses of a nation which is rolling in wealth not purchasing freely in our home markets? In other words, why does business continue dull, or move in fits and jerks, running nine-tenths of the time on a flat tire? The answers to these several questions are: First: The initiative of the business man has been destroyed by long-continued assaults by the press, politicians and public officials upon his methods of doing business, his honesty and integrity, that is to say: we are now feeling the full effect of ten years of muck raking which finally led to destructive legislative action. Second: Government interference with business, government persecution and prosecution of business men, government regulation of all lines of commercial activity, the uncertainties of the Sherman Law and the threats of the Clayton Act, have created an air of insecurity, which prevents the average man from risking any part of his capital in new ventures. Third: The continued regulation of railroad earnings by the Inter state commerce commission and the various state railroad commissions, until the roads are not left with a sufficient revenue to meet fixed charges, much less make extensions and improvements, and the resultant unemployment of a vast army of railroad men. Fourth: The passage in 1913 of our present tariff laws, which reduced our government revenues while allowing imports of foreign made goods in competition with our manufacturing industries, and which again resulted in the unemployment of a large army of skilled laborers. Fifth: The destruction of the last remnant of the merchant marine of Following the organization Garden Grove Bean Grain店, the growers of the Wintersburg territory up to the greater part of there. The San Joaquín also extremely anxious and this resulted in a number being held and an accruage being signed by growers, however, did affect an orgination over that the movement was late in the season. After were soon in the midst cutting, threshing and moving it impossible more time to the work. In spite of this is was far good had been done. Majority of the lima sell while the price was kept soon begun to impress. At present the prices from $4.50 to $4.55 per being even understood growers have sold at a price appears to Predictions are being quarters that this year to $6 per 100 pounds. In order that the local be still more benefitted and Harry Hazeltine owe W.C. Jerome of Irvine hard to confer with C president of the Venturers' association, and will growers of Oxnard and learn what the Venturers of the present situation they are intending to h till better prices prevail. Spurred by the results been attained this seasoners of the county are double their efforts at tween now and next year. GAME BIRDS ARE BECOMING SCARCER NUMBER IN COUNTRY ALREADY DIMINISHED NINETY PER CENT FEDERAL LAWS ARE NOW PROVING EFFECTIVE IN SAVING THE REMNANT Formerly migratory waterfowl frequented the United States in enormous numbers, and the supply appeared to be inexhaustible. During the last 75 years, however, the growth of population and the vast increase in the number of hunters, combined with greatly improved firearms and an extraordinary increase in the facilities for rapid transportation to the most remote haunts of wild life, have resulted in an appalling reduction in their numbers. It is believed to be a conservative estimate that the gross number of migratory game birds of all winds existing today in the United States does not exceed 10 per cent of the number which existed here 75 years ago. The decrease has been especially rapid during the last 25 years. During this period some species have become extinct, while others are nearly so. Thoughtful sportsmen and others interested in our wild life have long laying the cement foundation for asphalt pavement at the rate of about 600 feet a day and the work is being well done. The cement is being laid on four inches thick on a solid rolled bed. It is planned to continue the boulevard, twenty-three feet wide, to the front entrance of the hospital building; thence the asphalt pavement continues entirely around the main building, eighteen feet wide, with a lateral leading to the nurses' dormitory. From the back of the main building two eighteen foot driveways lead to the back street fronting the two rows of cottages and on either side of the chapel and clubhouse in the rear. Cement sidewalks will line the driveways and will also connect all of the out buildings with the hospital. As soon as the rains set in it is proposed to seed the large square between the main building and the club house to lawn. The front on either side of the twenty-three-foot driveway as well as the circle in the park on the north side of the main building will also be set in lawn. When these improvements are completed and time is given for the shrubbery and ornamental trees in the park to mature the Orange county hospital grounds will be one of the most beautiful spots in the state. "A special effort is being made to establish a library at the county hospital for the benefit of the patients and old people at the poor farm," said Dr. Harry Zaiser. "Shelving is being put up in the club room to accommodate books. About a ton of magazines and a number of books have been donated and are being classified and catalogued. All persons having books, especially fiction, that they are through with, are requested to donate them to the county hospital library. If not too far distant the books will be called for. No more of others. By the moral uplift we mean the work of various orders, societies and associations of men and women, largely supported by the charity of business men, who think they can, by law, reform the world, legislate morality, and judicially establish honesty and integrity. They attempt to do by force that which teaching, training and education alone can accomplish. Such are the handicaps that we have been working under, and yet, the business interests of the country still survive. That there is a revival in some lines is due to circumstances over which the government has had no control, viz: the European war. LIMABEAN GROWERS GET BETTER PRICES Attribute the increase to the Organization Recently Effected. Confident that the recent raise in the price of lima beans is due in a considerable measure to the organization of the growers of Garden Grove district, the Smeltzer-Wintersburg district and the tentative organization of those of the San Joaquin ranch, bean men are more determined than ever to perfect a close-knit body which will result effectively in getting a fair price in seasons to come. Growers are positive that this year's price on limas would have remained at $4 per 100 pounds, the price of about two months ago, had it not been for the recent efforts on the part of the growers to form a cooperative body having its object the getting of reliable information regarding output and general market conditions. Following the organization of the Garden Grove Bean Growers' association, the growers of the Smeltzer and Wintersburg territory met and signed up the greater part of the acreage there. The San Joaquin growers were also extremely anxious to organize and this resulted in a number of meetings being held and a considerable acreage being signed up. The Irvine growers, however, did not really perfect an organization owing to the fact their numbers. It is believed to be a conservative estimate that the gross number of migratory game birds of all winds existing today in the United States does not exceed 10 per cent of the number which existed here 75 years ago. The decrease has been especially rapid during the last 25 years. During this period some species have become extinct, while others are nearly so. Thoughtful sportsmen and others interested in our wild life have long realized the impossibility of saving what was left of this great national asset by state action. The rapid progress of our waferfowl toward extinction under state laws was too obvious. To save the dwindling remnant, in 1913 the Federal migratory bird law was enacted. The law has now been in effect about two years and an extended inquiry has been made by the biological survey as to its effect on migratory game birds. A large number of reports from state and Federal game officers and private individuals in nearly all of the states of the Union have been received. The replies from a small number of states have been doubtful, usually owing to a lack of definite information on the subject. From 40 of the states, extending from Maine to California and from the Gulf states to the Canadian border, is given unimpeachable evidence of an extraordinary increase in water fowl during the short period the law has been in effect. The increase is commonly stated, according to the locality, to be from 10 to several hundred per cent, and includes such important species as mallards, black mallards, widgeon, sprigtails, blue winged teal, green winged teal, wood ducks, canvasbacks, Canada geese, and swans. Many of the reports are to the effect that the number of waterfowl remaining to breed exceeds anything seen during the past 10 to 25 years. The results indicate what may be expected from a long period of adequate protection. The importance of our wild fowl as a national asset is evident when their great aggregate value is considered. The state of Maine estimates the annual income from its game resources at $13,000,000, of which about 5 per cent, or $650,000 can safely be allowed to the returns from migratory wild fowl. Oregon values the annual returns from its game resources at $5,000,000. Of this amount about $1,000,000 may be attributed to migrators. POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS OVERHAULING R.F.D. Will Probably Establish Many New Ones in Orange County Frank Trout, postal inspector, arrived in this county Tuesday, and began a systematic investigation into the rural routes of the post offices of Orange county with a view to making needed adjustments and to adding territory to that already served by the country carriers. It is believed that Trout will make recommendations that will add several hundred families to the rural list of the county. Trout is going to do his work thoroughly. He is already familiar with the Orange county offices and most of the routes in a general way, his official duties having called him often into this county. He has already discussed with postmasters in a general way the needs that are likely to be presented to him. At present Trout is making his headquarters at Santa Ana, and from there will work out over the county. Trout not only studies the maps, but he also goes out and sees the country to be served. Following the organization of the Garden Grove Bean Growers' association, the growers of the Smeltzer and Wintersburg territory met and signed up the greater part of the acreage there. The San Joaquin growers were also extremely anxious to organize and this resulted in a number of meetings being held and a considerable acreage being signed up. The Irvine growers, however, did not really perfect an orgainzation owing to the fact that the movement was started too late in the season. All the ranchers were soon in the midst of the work of cutting, threshing and hauling beans and found it impossible to devote more time to the work of organizing. In spite of this is was found that much good had been done. Because a large majority of the lima men refused to sell while the price was down the market soon begun to improve. At present the price on limas is from $4.50 to $4.55 per 100 pounds, it being even understood that several growers have sold at as high as $4.60. The price appears to be advancing. Predictions are being made in some quarters that this year's price will go to $6 per 100 pounds. In order that the local growers may be still more benefitted George Moore and Harry Hazellline of Smeltzer and W. C. Jerome of Irvine will go to Oxnard to confer with Charles Donlan, president of the Ventura Bean Growers' association, and with prominent growers of Oxnard and vicinity, to learn what the Ventura growers think of the present situation and whether they are intending to hold their crops till better prices prevail. Spurred by the results which have been attained this season, lima growers of the county are certain to redouble their efforts at organizing between now and next year's harvest. MANY IMPROVEMENTS AT COUNTY HOSPITAL Will Be One of Most Beautiful Spots In State When Completed The contemplated improvements at the county hospital grounds are now progressing in earnest. Grading, making curbing, hauling sand, rock and cement has disturbed the usual peaceful quiet of the place for the past few weeks. The mixer is now at work protection. The importance of our wild fowl as a national asset is evident when their great aggregate value is considered. The state of Maine estimates the annual income from its game resources at $13,000,000, of which about 5 percent, or $650,000 can safely be allotted to the returns from migratory wild fowl. Oregon values the annual returns from its game resources at $5,000,000. Of this amount about $1,000,000 may be attributed to migratory wild fowl. It is evident that the actual annual returns from this source in the several states reach a very large amount, and the value of this resource to the nation amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. The benefits of the migratory bird law in conserving and increasing the wild life of the country is not confined solely to the game birds. This law also portects at all times throughout the United States our insectivorous birds which inhabit every state. The bureau of entomology has estimated that insects injure agriculture and farm products to the amount of $652,000,000 annually. When it is considered that insectivorous birds constantly prey upon and devour mylads of injurious insects throughout, the country, the exceeding value of these birds in maintaining the balance of nature and in limiting the increase of our insect enemies is of untold value. Garden Grove has no rural route at present, but is anxiously seeking one. It is pointed out that Santa Ana rural carriers pass through the town, and Garden Grove believes that the federal authorities ought to allow the route to be started out of the Garden Grove office instead of out of the Santa Ana office. Adjustments in service are to be made in the Anaheim routes out toward Stanton. Growth in population and the development of the country in the north end of the county will necessitate an increase in the rural route service. Just how many routes will be added, if any, cannot now be stated.

He has already discussed with postmasters in a general way the needs that are likely to be presented to him. At present Trout is making his headquarters at Santa Ana, and from there will work out over the county. Trout not only studies the maps, but he also goes out and sees the country to be served. Many of the residents of the Fairview and Harper sections have been insistently asking for carrier mail service and it is more than likely they will get it. That section has grown rapidly since the last adjustment of rural routes was made out of the Santa Ana post office. Numerous minor changes are proposed in the Santa Ana routes. It is likely that a change will be made that will increase the number of residents reached on the San Joaquin ranch. Huntington Beach and Garden Grove post offices have long been urging attention. Huntington Beach has claimed that it has plenty of territory for a second route without overlapping any other route. Garden Grove has no rural route at present, but is anxiously seeking one.

These are 50's to 96's, from the orchard of G. W. Sherwood. The fruit is not wrapped, but is regraded and repacked in the presence of the purchasers at the exposition. There are salesmen on the grounds who take orders from tourists for cartons, half boxes and boxes. The buyers go into the packing room and watch the fruit packed as ordered, and so assure themselves that they are getting the finest Valencias grown. The car shipped contained 650 boxes.
