iO cents per inch Editorial Notes DUKE, the millionaire tobacconist, has found out that it was easier to "find" Mrs. Duke before marriage than it is to 'lose" her now. IN CHICAGO the other day the Democratic nomi.iee for Mayor only accepted the honor upon a platform favoring the public ownership of the street railways. THE Attorney-General, Joseph H. Kibbey, of Arizona, is promoted to the Governorship of that Territory, E.

A. Tucker, a noted jurist of Nebraska, is now associate justice. THE Bell bill opening the Round Valle3' Indian Reservation lands in this county for settlement has passed both houses of congress. All it now lacks to become a law is the President's approval and signature. THE former despot Governor Peabody of Colorado boldly asserts that he will unearth the election frauds in that State to the very bottom.

In comparison this makes the digging of the Panama canal look easy. "MAKE Neidringhaus Senator!" yells the St. Louis Globe. "That is the square thing te do." Wonder if that Republican newspaper is trving to work the "innocent purchaser" clause on the people of that State? It much looks like it. IT is recorded that a Pasadena doctor came to his death by mistaking a bottle of carbolic acid for a bottle of whiskey.

The obvious moral of the case is found in the fact that if the doctor had not been a whisky soak he would not have made the fatal mistake. JUST as soon as the U. S. Senator-elect Bob La Follette from Wisconsin takes his seat in the Senate, President Roosevelt will at least have one staunch Republican that will stick to him in the fight against railroad discrimination and extortion. Bob is little but a fighter from the word go.

PLANS are now being formed by the Lewis and Clark Exposition management for an airship tournament to take place during the Fair. Prizes will be awarded to the successful contestants and ambitious inventors from all over the world will enter the competition, and a new era in rapid transit is likely to be inaugurated through their efforts to solve the problem of aerial navigation. The Baldwin airship from San Francisco, which made several successful flights at St. Louis and around the bay of San be entered and much is expected of the craft. J.

B. Paul of Seattle has in vented an airship and has one now under construction which he expects to have ready in time to make a successful flight during the Fair Season, OVER in Oakland last Sunday morning, Edward Koehn took a shot at his wife, a bride of six weeks, because she did not pack up her things quick enough to suit him iind leave him, and missing his aim, she fired at him and did not stop tiring until he It was a case of too much mother-in-law. After it was all over, inquisitive people wanted to know why she owned a revolver, and why and where she got it, and where she concealed it. But nobody asked the question how he became the possessor of the revolver he carried. Hasn't a woman as much right to carry a pistol as man, even if the law prohibits the carrying of such weapons? If more unfortunate or unhappy wives would have a "shooting iron" handy and use it with eflect on similar occasions, we apprehend that it would in time, the cowardly brutality of husbands.

We do not wish it to I be understood that man is always wrong and woman right; but in a case like the above instead of shooting the woman out of house and the got shot out by the woman, the sympathy should not belong to And the law of the land will sustain her. On Thursday, when the Senate voted to deny Seuators Wright, Emmons, Bunkers and French the op- portunit3' to avoid criminal prosecution by testifying before the investigating committee, Senator Sanford was put to a severe test. From boyhood Mr. Sanford had been the friend and associate of Senator Wright. They attended school together, they kept track of each other after they went out into the world, and within a month they had met in the State Senate, one representing a northern and the other a centra! district of the State.

Naturally old connections had been revived, and their friendship put on a firmer basis than ever. But on Thursday Senator Sanford was called upon to cast a vote upon which the liberty of his old-time friend might depend. It was a question which vitality affected the honor of the State on the one hand, and the interests of a friend on the other; a case in which duty and friendship conflicted. But Senator Sanford did not flinch when it came to the test; he placed his duty to the State which he represents above that of all other considerations, even friendship, and voted to hold the Senators accountable in the criminal courts. Mr.

Sanford by his strict adherence to duty has given an example of fealty to the public service unfortunateh' rare in the present day. When men respect the law, and take their re sponsibility as citizens seriously, no matter whether they serve as primary voters or Senators, there will be an end of political Union. Superior Court Notes MORE new fraudulent transactions have been unearthed in Oregon since our last issue. The federal grand jury have investigated another land steal and have returned indictments against U. S.

Senator J. H. Mitchell, Congressman Binger Hermann arid others. They are charged witfi defrauding theGovernment out of 200,000 acres of land in Oregon, and also with attempting fraud in connection with the establishment of the Blue Fountain forest reserve in which they expected to make an immense amount of money. THE people of Cloverdale are preparing to entertain thousands during the citrus fair time next week, and ihe town will be garlanded from end to end.

The Santa Rosa band has been engaged as the official band of the fair, but there will be other bands there, and acarniyal of music, not on the program, may 'result. Promenade concerts will no doubt mark each day in the big afternoon and at night the pavilion will be brilliantly lighted. THE overthrow of the old homestead law and the substitution of a 64-0- acre homestead law is being rapidly consummated, so far as the change "caii be pushed along by the Public Lands Committee of the House of Rep- That body voted the other day to recommend the passage of a square mile homestead bill as applied to about ten million acres of land in Western South Dakota, although a minority of the committee, con- kJsjsting of Chairman Lacey and Representatives Mendell of Wyoming, Milkier of Kansas, and Needham of California, reported against it. The commit Wiee will take up succeeding bills applying the square-mile homestead to the jftqther States. This report of the committee was made in the face ol a Ip 'strong adverse recommendation from the Commissioner of the General pLand office and the Secretary of the Interior.

Under the South Dakota the government is given four months in which to make a complete survey of the. State and withdraw any lands suitable for irrigation. There is Hi'provision in the bill, however, by which the government could withdraw Mds which it might find to belsuitable for agriculture without irrigation less a strong sentiment is developed in opposition to this bill, it is likely ftj'ietly slipthrough Congress, like the demonitiza tion silver bill was. The members of Congress evidently don't seem to care the'snap of the lofjtbe result, rherejseems to be a disposition to let the public lands themselves, no matter what amount of fraud and speculation fihQwn to exist, to pass by the problem and, even as in this iri- laws allowing their more rapid disposal.

"For California," The largest diamond ever discovered was found a few days ago near Pretoria, South Africa. It is valued at nearly $4,000,000. Should it be placed on the market for disposal in all probability it may become the property of a Ukiahan, as number of our citizens, it is said, are very much interested in several "get-rich- quick" diamond oncerns. Rags wanted at THE DISPATCH office. Will pay cash or give old papers.

PIRATING FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAIL the monthlv publication of the California Promotion Committee, is designed to give definite and technical information of a practical and helpful nature on various subjects of interest in California. Each month's issue is a special number devoted to some one subject. The articles in each issue are written by persons of experience or by authorities in-the various subjects but they are presented in a popular way and are easily understood by one not familiar with the topics treated. Perhaps the number for which there has been the greatest demand is the poultry number, there being great interest in the subject of poultry raising in California. Other popular numbers have been the Dairy-Farm number, the Special Opportunities number which gives information about definite opportunities thruout California, the Intensive Farming number showing how good results are obtained by making a certain area of ground produce the most of which it is capable.

The February issue is the Irrigation number discussing such subjects as "Irrigation Regardless of Rainfall," amplifying the fact that irrigation may be profitably employed where the rainfall is sufficient for ordinary crops, "Methods of Pumping and Various jumping Plants," "California's Water Supply for Future Irrigation," "How to Irrigate Alfalfa," "Irrigation and Climate," "Methods of Irrigation for Various Crops," etc. Back numbers are kept on file by the committee and are sent in answer to inquiries. "For California" is not published as a business proposition and it contains no advertising, but it is doubtful if any of the interesting publications which the committee issues on-the State have more fulfilled a definite purpose in fully treating any one topic.
