MASO.V Editor Many lumber merchants have adopted motor trucks to speed up the work and have accomplished this result, in mauy cases, however, they have found that motor trucking is more expensive, dug to the idle time of the truck while loading and unloading. Various expedients have been adopted to avoid this standing time. It is common practice to fit rollers to the truck bed so the load can be dumped as a unit instead of being taken off piece' by piece by hand. Again, a few lumber companies have used yard wagons for making up the loads and provided means for rolling the matte-up loads from these yard wagons to the motor truck. In more recent years there has been a return to the time-honored and efficient system in use with teams, by which several wagons were left in the yards to be loaded while the teams were hauling loads for delivery.

But instead of teams and wagons, tractor trucks and trailers or semi-trailers are This combines the advantages of the old system with the speed aud greater delivery radius of the motor truck. The trailers or semi-trailers are disposed about the yard and loading proceeds while the tractor Is on the road. Thus the tractor to kept moving a maximum number of hourc of the day, which Is necessary to insure eeo-nomy of haulage. Truck manufacturers generally realize the special nature of the lumber business and the peculiar adaptability to it of trailers and semi-trailers. Some of them build special tractors for the sole purpose of hauling those auxiliary vehicles.

This would seem to be a good law, especially in those counties jwhere the wet Influence may remain hostile to the law after It goes Into effect It la1 the history of law that a bad one is rarely vigorously enforced, but the people have decreed that prohibition la a good law and must be enforced.

And the legislature would make it impossible for a district attorney without backbone and spine before the wet interests to thwart the enforcement of prohibition. 1 We believe there will always be guf- fleient sentiment in Kem county to force the election of public prosecutors -who will not be Indifferent to the star tutee, especially the one ratified by forty-seven states, and approved by toe majority- in Kem county, We do aot believe that the selfish private Interests would ever again have sway in Kern against this predominant sentiment, though there will not be lacking those who would connive at breaking the anti-liquor law. District attorneys must more than ever stand by their declaration to en- eutire distance. MONTRIEY, Aug. 25.

Monterey, where the first American flag was raised ia California in 1846, today surrendered unconditionally- to Admiral Hugh Rodman, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet-aud group of vessels header toy the super-dreadnaught New Mexico, which anchored In the bay of Monterey. They were acclaimed by a great display of patriotism. The portion of the fleet which, arrived here today left Santa Barbara yesterday afternoon. It was scheduled to drop anchor at eight o'clock this morning, but it was not until 12:15 p. m.

that the anchors were cast- The delay was caused by a fog. Shortly before noon the fog cleared and a swarm of small sea crafts made its way to the fleet. One ot the launches held P. J. Dougherty, mayor of Monterey; Edward Berwick mayor of Pacific Grove, and A.

P. mayor of Carmel. They went aboard the flagship and greeted Admiral Rodman. Shortly after the admiral came ashore with forty officers to return the call. A rehearsal of the historic ceremony of July 7, 1846, when Commodore J.

D. Bloat raised the first American flag in California over' the old adobe customs house hire, was an outstanding event of toe day. Admiral Rodman raised an American flag to the top of the same staff. Governor William D. Stephens spoke briefly at the ceremony, praising the navys part in the world war.

Man for man, ship for ship, there Is no other navy on earth that can defeat it, he said. Admiral Rodman responded by saying: Sailing a ship is easier than making a speech, so I have brought Governor Stephens here to speak for me. An official banquet, attended by 125 officers and a ball were features tonight. Among the vessels here were the New Mexico, Mississippi and and the cruiser Birmingham, the flagship of ten destroyers which escorted her here. All will sail from I here on August 31 for San Francisco, Another group, the dreadnaugbts Wyoming and Arkansas, the destroyer repair ship Prairie and six destroyers went to Santa Cruz to-remain until August 31, when they also will go to San Francisco.

The New Mexico and Mississippi tomorrow will visit Santa Cruz, to participate in a special program. The dreadnaughta Idaho, which sailed later than the main fleet, and the New York, which took Secretary Daniels to Honolulu, are scheduled to join the fleet here on or before August 31. 'It was announced aboafdthe New Mexico 1 today that because of changes, Secretary Daniels has proposed for the fleet, its movements north of San Francisco are uncertain as yet. The reviews announced for Seattle On' September 12 and for Tacoma. on September 15, will toe held, according to present plans.

NOME, Alaska, Aug. 1. (Correspondence of The Associated Press. )v Storms in the Arctic ocean upset the plans of twenty-nine adventurers who sailed from this- port last month aboard Robert Louis Stevensons old! schooner, (he Casco, bound for some mysterious gold country believed to be ia northern Siberia. Shortly after the Casco picked its wqy through the Ice in Bering straits and anchored in the Arctic ocean, the party lost its leader, S.

L. McGirk, a mining engineer of Hamilton, Texas. McGirk and another member went ashore when the vessel anchored, presumably to hunt, and while they were Inland a storm -came up and forced the Casco to put to sea. Nothing has been heard of it since. McGirk and his companion castaway were forced to live on the diet Of the northern Siberian natives for a time.

In a few days the United States coast guard cutter Bear hove in sight and picked them up. The two men arrived here today on the Bear. Their future plans are uncertain. They do not fear for the safety of the Casco and the twenty-seven men aboard as the schooners master, Captain C. L.

ESCAPED PRISONER IS RETURNED HERE After an absence of 17 months Robert Morgan was brought back the Kern county jail by Deputy Sheriff Dan Cornwall, who made a special trip to Omaha, with extradition papers. Morgan was convicted of grand larceny on March 25, 1918, and with two other prisoners he made his escape from the third floor that night while committment papers were being made for the transportation of the trio to San Quentin. One of the nven'has since been captatired and is now serving his term of from one to ten years. Morgan will have to fulfill a similar term when he Is taken to San Quentin in the next few days. Morgan was arrested In Iowa for the abduction of a child '4n Iowa and later held for the previous crime committed In Kern county.

It was with this in mind that the Tulare Board of Trade hailed the meeting. The' hearty responses to the- invittations, from all sources, show how deeply interested In the matter are the thinking citizens of the valley and how much thought has been given to the, water question for the past few years. The discussions will -be informal, and open to all, the representative of special department, being present to give such authentic data as may ibe called for. Aft phases of the situation are to be discussed so the representatives will have at hand all tha information necessary to launch some organization to- complete the (work of securing further details so (that all possibilities for increase to tk water supply may be a hand before any definite plan is adopted, TEN YEARS AGO -o The P.

(Correspondence of the Associated German deficit in food, the difference between the amount produced in Germany and Germanys, normal needs, amounts to 3,600,000 tons of wheat, one million tons of meat and one millloni tons of fats, says the Imerpial Food Ministry.

Aug. 25. Shipping facilities connecting thi3 city with the western ports of central and south America will have to be Increased very materially in the near future. If the businessmen of the Pacific coast expect to maintain their trade supremacy in the western section of the countries affected, according to a statement given out today by Benno Schoch the Latin-American representative of the American Finance and Commerce company. Mr.

Schoch says that Great Britain and other European nations are now entering that field with a very strong competition. "The market on the western coast of South America logically belongs to concerns doing business through the port San Franqisco, says Mr. Schoch. And if we desire to hold our share of it, we must provide immediately the tonnage in ships to properly supply the product that market demands. Several district lines between Japanese and South American ports recently have been movement to secure more ships for South America through the Federal shipping hoard Is advocated by Mr.

Schoch. OBJECT TO V. S. FILMS. PARIS, Aug.25.

French anti-clericals appear to he taking alarm at the frequent appearance of bibles and pastors In American moving pictures. M. Aulard, the historian, in an article decrying the far west films, says enough has been seen of the sentimental bandits, and appeals to Americans to keep them for themselves along with their pastors and their bibles. He adds that they give a false idea of the American people. Justify any reasonable expense In securing water.

There are many thousand acres of good land now Under Irrigation which receive only one irrigation per year, and the money expended to secure that one irrigation was well spent. The time will come, and at no far distant date, when these lands will be subdivided into small farms, but the system will have to he abandoned, and a more intensive one installed. with better service and more prater before these lands will make much of an appeal to the careful farmer who to looking for a place to buy and build 'a home. The land on the whole is high class, some of the 'best land In California wDl be found within the boundaries of Kern county, hut without water is almost valueless. The difference in price between land without water, and that which is well supplied with water rune from one to two hundred dollars per acre on the land "alcme without improvement of any kind.

This would show that in many instances one hundred and fifty dollars per acre would not be an enormous sum to spend to secure water. As i9 the amount of water that would be available, only such data as has been gathered by these people who have been using it for the past years I obtainable at the present time, but this data to of great value, for the work generally was taken care of by very competent men. By storing this water ia toe mountains we have the advantage of less heat and greater depth, leaving less water surface exposed to the elements, thereby lng the loos by evaporation. What this saving will amount to in actual water la hard to determine, hut Judging from the experiments in other places, the saving would be very great Pot instance, on the west side of Merced county Miller Lux operate a canal 16 Miles long which at ita head has a capacity of about 900 second feet In some experiments made about twelve years ago, the water was measured Into this canal, and measured out at all points of diversion, and it as found dial the loss as anywhere between 50 and 70 per cent over the '-p HE facilities of our liberty Bond Department will prove, of value to those who find it necessary to dispose of their bonds.
