THE MAINE ELECTION Maine has spoken, and the nation has heard. Republicans have swept the old Pine Tree state. This is glory enough for us for one day. Progressives are back in the fold, where they belong. This is no time for dissensions, in the grand old party. We are for the republican ticket, and for Hiram W. Johnson for United States senator. We are for Hughes and Fairbanks for president and vice president, Hiram W. Johnson for United States senator, R. C. Harbison for congress, S. C. Evans for state senator, Joe Burke for assemblyman, and Bill Schumacher for supervisor. THE WHEAT FAMINE "Notwithstanding the war, or rather in consequence of the war," says the National City Bank of New York, "we are reducing our foreign debt, getting our goods into enw markets, developing new industries, paying off debts and accumulating capital." But prudent people should not forget that the longer present abnormal conditions prevail the farther we shall get from the natural state of industry and trade to which we must return when the war is over.

Per "we are reducing our foreign debt, getting our goods into enw markets, developing new industries, paying off debts and accumulating capital." But prudent people should not forget that the longer present abnormal conditions prevail the farther we shall get from the natural state of industry and trade to which we must return when the war is over. Wages are constantly advancing, the cost of living keeps pace with them, and the process of adjustment to temporary conditions continues every day. There is one adverse condition. It the serious reduction in the grain crops. The extraordinary crop yields of 1914 and 1915 have supplied a surplus above our European exports, but the total yield for this year will not exceed the requirements of this country for food and seed. The corn crop has been cut down by drought to about 2,500,000,000 bushels, and this means dear meats. British-grown wheat has been selling in the interior markets of England for above $2 per bushel, and it has seemed possible that that price might be reached in the United States. It has been expected that the entrance of Rumania into the war would open the Dardanelles and bring Russian and Rumanian wheat into the market, but the result of the first conflict, which was that 20,000 Rumanian soldiers surrendered to the enemy, does not seem to promise much cheap what from that country or from Russia. COMPARE THE RECORDS President Wilson has never shown solicitude for the laboring men's welfare—his efforts to settle the railroad embroglio was the first time the President manifested the slightest interest in labor's affairs, and that interest was not due to any love for labor, but to the spur of public opinion which demanded there should be no strike. The dispute had been brewing many months, but the President waited until a little more than sixty days before the national election to summon the brotherhood chiefs and the railroad heads to Washington. Perhaps there was a "psychological" reason for that, if not the reason of political advantage. Labor unions are justified in looking askance at the President in view of his spoken and written utterances regarding labor. In Mr. Wilson's "History of the labor organizations and leaders of the country." Contrast the labor record of President Wilson with the labor record of Governor Hughes. Governor Hughes has never written the election of a re-election president. SCENE FROM "The Daughter of the NEW GRAND THEATRE" Next Mon. & Tues., Sept. 18 NEW GRAND THEATRE Next Mon. & Tues., Sept. 18 labor organizations and leaders of the country." Contrast the labor record of President Wilson with the labor record of Governor Hughes. Governor Hughes has never written or spoken a single word inimical to labor. On the contrary he was the greatest friend to labor taht ever occupied the governor's chair at Albany. Legislative records at Albany show that during his two terms as governor of New York he signed 56 labor laws. In New York state, during 132 years, only 162 labor laws were passed. Of these one-third were signed during Hughes' two terms as governor. With these records known it will be easy for organized labor to select its candidate in the November election. THANKLESS CANADA Pacific Coast fishermen complain that the Canadian government has refused them bait and supply privileges at Canadian ports. It is also reported that Canada has blacklisted American fishing vessels in North Pacific waters. This is an ill return for giving Canada free trade in fish in the American market, as was done in the democratic tariff law, under which Canada has nearly doubled her sale of fish to us, although the democratic party, assuring us that free trade would reduce the cost of fish, is now blaming the high cost of fish to the sharks on the Atlantic coast. The American fishermen can help bring Canada to her senses by voting for the restoration of protective rates on her exports of fish to our market through the election of a re-election president.

Jewelry valued at approximately $25 was stolen. The thief secured about $2 in cash but so far as has been determined, did not disturb the grocery stock. The robbery was the second executed at Olive during the week; the Kusel & Lorenzen store being entered a few night earlier. The Olive Mercantile company was robbed once before this summer, though without the thief securing much of value. The articles taken Monday night consisted of cuff and collar buttons, chains, rings, etc. A number of watches were locked in the safe, which was not disturbed. The thief got about $2 belonging to K. V. Wolff of the First National Bank of Olive, which has temporary quarters in the store. The money taken was Mr. Wolff's personal money. No attempt was made to disturb the bank safe. Mr. Walff's money was in the cash drawer of the store. Entrance was effected by prying open the front door. No trace of the thief was found. IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE ON STATE HIGHWAY One Side of Road From Tustin to Capistrano to be Filled The state highway department is going to take immediate steps to better one side of the state highway between Tustin and San Juan Canis. NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS The official call for the twenty-third annual meeting of the International Irrigation Congress, to be held at El Paso, Tex., October 14 to 18, has been issued over the signatures of President R. F. Burges of Texas; Secretary Arthur Hooker of Washington; J. B. Case of Kansas, chairman of the board of governors, and of James G. McNary, chairman El Paso board of control. The call directs particular attention to the formal dedication of the $10,000,000 Elephant Butte dam by President Wilson on October 14 as one of the leading features of the convention. Details of the program to be followed at the dam have not been worked out but owing to the magnitude of the structure to be dedicated to the service of mankind and the prominence of those who will take part in the ceremony there is every reason to believe that the exercises will be of a character in keeping with the occasion. The first session of the irrigation congress will be held at the dam, at Elephant Butte, N. M., following the dedicatory exercises. At the conclusion of this meeting an adjournment will be taken to El Paso. So far as the congress is concerned, Sunday, October 15, will be a day of rest, though special services will be held in all of El Paso's churches, affording delegates and other visitors an opportunity to worship as their conscience may dictate. An elaborate program for the meetings of the congress which will be held in El Paso, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 16, 17, and 18, is in course of preparation. Men of national and international reputation will take prominent part. Subjects of Something new in Coffee Cowen high-grade coffee.

Per pound 38c IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE ON STATE HIGHWAY One Side of Road From Tustin to Capistrano to be Filled The state highway department is going to take immediate steps to better one side of the state highway between Tustin and San Juan Capistrano, in order to lessen the danger to traffic along that highway. Division Engineer Patch of Los Angeles went over the highway Monday, and after a conference with Resident Engineer Spellmeyer it was decided to put men to work to make a temporary shoulder upon one side of the highway, at least where the condition at the present time is most dangerous. "I regret deeply," said the division engineer, "that there is not money available for putting the rock shoulders upon this portion of state highway at this time. The rock shoulders cost about $2000 per mile, that is $1000 for each side. The funds available for work in this section are so low that we have had to do protective work at other points instead of keeping on with the shoulders. We have rebuilt some road at Trabuco, and unless we do some protective work we might lose the same pieces of road this winter. That is also true at San Juan Creek. I am hoping that we can get the Aliso bridge in before the rains. "It is our intention now to throw dirt along one edge of the state highway where there are bad drops at the edge of the pavement, and keep that watered and rolled with a big roller. That will make it so that there will be more room for passing on one side at least. When there is more money available the first of the year we can go ahead and complete our shoulders of rock, as we had contemplated." DECREASING DEATH RATE Death is being cheated more and more with each succeeding year in California. This is shown by figures of Statistician Leslie of the state department of health. His statistics revealed that the medium age of deceased in California in 1915 was 51.T yars. In 1914 it was 49.6 years. In 1913 it was 49.4 years. In 1912 it was 49.3 years. October 15, will be a day of rest, though special services will be held in all of El Paso's churches, affording delegates and other visitors an opportunity to worship as their conscience may dictate. An elaborate program for the meetings of the congress which will be held in El Paso, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 16, 17, and 18, is in course of preparation. Men of national and international reputation will take prominent part. Subjects of special importance to be discussed are: Rural Credits and Land Settlement; Drainage and Engineering Problems; Irrigation Laws and Legislation; Irrigation Practice; Irrigation Districts and Markets and Marketing. Delegates and visitors to El Paso during the time of holding the Irrigation Congress will have an opportunity to see encamped in and about the city the largest number of American soldiers ever gathered together in one place since the review of the army and navy in Washington, D.C., at the conclusion of the war between the states. During the week of the congress these soldiers will be engaged in working out war problems and in maneuvers on a large scale, affording an opportunity to the ordinary layman to witness a military spectacle which few Americans have ever seen and which those who see it may never see again. Delegates to the Irrigation Congress are appointed as follows: Fifty by the governor of each state; ten by each member of the federal congress; ten by the mayor of any city of more than 25,000 population; five by the mayor of any city less than 25,000 population; five by the chairman of any county board; five by any commercial body or club concerned with public affairs; five by any newspaper or technical or trade journal; five by any irrigation or canal company; five by any college of university.

AND THEATRE Tues., Sept. 18 and 19 the election of a republican congress and president. SUN vs. STRAS AND STRIPES The New York Journal of Commerce calls attention to the fact that there was a notable increase in the value of shipments made under the U.S. flag, June, 1916, over June, 1915. Permit us to call attention to the fact that since the Seamen's law, passed by the last Congress, swept American ships form the Pacific waters, Japan is gleaning a large amount of that freight business. In 1916 we exported to Japan $75,000,000 worth of goods, but she carried out $143,000,000 worth of our exports. We imported from Japan during that year $148,000,000 worth of her merchandise, but she brought $177,000,000 worth of freight to us. She was picking up the trade we had lost along the way. In 1913, we exported $58,000,000 worth of peace products to Japan, and she took away from our ports $27,000,000 worth in her own vessels. We imported from her $92,000,000 worth of her products, and she brought to us in her vessels $58,000,000 worth. With the free trade law and the seamn's lay working hand in hand, it looks as if Japan had us coming and going, doesn't it? Today Japan controls one-half the tonnage of the western ocean. A great many foreign ships are under the U.S. Flag today for the same reason that an American in Mexico wears a British or German flag—"we're neutral." It is better to be safe than be sorry. But those ships certainly have no intention of remaining under our flag after the war is over—not under present conditions. DECREASING DEATH RATE Death is being cheated more and more with each succeeding year in California. This is shown by figures of Statistician Leslie of the state department of health. His statistics revealed that the medium age of deceased in California in 1915 was 51.T yars. In 1914 it was 49.6 years. In 1913 it was 49.4 years. In 1912 it was 49.2 years and in 1911 it was 48.8 years. In both 1915 and 1914 the medium age was highest by far for Northern California, 53.3 and 55.8 and was slightly higher for Central California, 4 and 49.4, than for the territory South. Each year the median age was notably low for typhoid fever, 28.6 and 28.7; tuberculosis, 34.9 and 34.7; miscellaneous violence, 37.5 and 36.6; suicide, 44.3 and 41.8 and digestive aliments 37.9 and 36.4. The median age in 1915 and 1914 was more relative high for other causes. Pneumonia, 55.9 and 47.6; cancer, 61.3 and 60.4; nervous system 61.9 and 64.4 and circulatory system 63 and 67. The median age was practically the same for each sex in 1915, though considerably higher for men than women in 1914. Mme. Petrova will be at the New Grand tonight in "The Eternal Question."

George Ziegler has had some up-to-date electrical fixtures installed in his home, and says his electric lighting system beats the world. When he turns on one light the others go out; when he slams the door they all go out; slams the door again, all the lights are turned on. This oblates the necessity of turning on the lighting switch. George has written his electrician to come and do the job over again. Bully for George! Martin F. Witt is kept busy turning out cement pipe, for which he finds a ready sale. The music section of the Ebell society will meet with Miss Grimshaw next Wednesday afternoon. One unique distinction that Mr. Hughes quickly achieved in this campaign was that of having a cabinet meeting devoted to a discussion of his Detroit speech. Cabinet meeting are supposed to be national councils—but Wilson makes his resemble a conference of political henchmen.

Witt, Phone 42-M, Placentia ton power company, the Puget Sound Traction, Light and Power, at its various water power plants, generated electricity to the amount of about 295 million kilowatt hours. This power was made out of water power, the force of water running down hill. The same amount of electrical power could have been made by burning coal under boilers. To do this would have required 739,000 tons of coal. Prior to the development of water power generation, the coal burning method would have been employed. It to turn generating machinery or not. No man can "save" water power. You can save coal, or wood, or oil or any other fuel, but the water goes right on running down hill. Also you cannot destroy water power. By using it today, you do not lessen the supply of toworrow. Coal once burned, is gone. Water power used, is saved. The talk about "conserving" water power is foolish chatter, on the face of it.
