The sprinkling seems to occur at an hour most inconvenient for traffic these balmy spring days and the thought has occurred to many that perhaps some later time, when cars are off the street, might do just as well for the watering. Perhaps public expression here of the sprinkling nuisance might attract attention of the powers that be and result in elimination of what must be an un necessary irritation. Vriass HlUbt ★ ★ ★ CALIFORNIA’S MERCIFUL GOVERNOR! GREYHOUND What Other Editors Are Saying! 1’0011 TO YOU TOO! DOWN in Morocco there is a town named Metlui which gets our vote for the best place to run a picture show. The town has a population of about-2000 but hall' of it changes every week, going out or coming in with caravans. An itinerant exhibitor landed there with a film, "The Plains man,” intending to work on down to Timbuktu exhibiting as he went but he has been in Metlui for two years and so far has never had to change his program due to the constant turnover in population. However, the permanent residents, some of whom have seen the show 20 times, have registered a protest and the operator has a new show, “Union Pacific,” coming for fall delivery. Following three years of reprieves, Governor Olson of California has commuted to life imprisonment the death sentences of John and Coke Brite, who killed three members of an officers’ possee who sought to arrest them in their Siskiyou mountain camp. Olson’s action has caused some criticism in and near Yreka where the murdered men had lived but many are there who will receive the governor’s action with a feeling that the ends of justice have best been served. The Brite brothers, former residents of Jackson ville and the Applegate country, are half-breed Indians ana given to peaceiul ways unless urged by firewater. 1 1 1 ■ Tney Decame involved in a quarrel with a neignbor For some others television wno ran for the law and urgeu tne officers into taking t here but only for those within is a unusual action unaer questionable circumstances, in 50-mile radius of New York City.

Stanley to the Shasta-Cascade Exposition commission at a business meeting held Saturday. Total registration of visitors at that time was 9,400 and requests to be supplied with specific information about the sce nic, recreational, cultural, agricul tural and other resources of the Wonderland region and its nine member counties totalled 17,237. The commission’s finance com mittee reported receipt of approxi mately $5,000 in operating reve- nues during the past 30 days, aud ited and ordered paid current op erating bills, and discussed routine business in connection with opera tion and maintenance of the build ing and county exhibits. Manager Stanley reported all individual county exhibits now complete with the exception of Jackson and Kla math counties which will be fin ished during the current week. More than 1,500 people from the nine counties of the Wonderland have already registered at the Shasta-Cascade building. Visitors who have registered from foreign countries total 157. With the ex ception of California and Oregon, Washington leads Pacific coast states with 277 visitors registered. Illinois leads middle western states and New York leads Atlantic coast states. Those who register represent only a small percent of the total number of visitors in the building.
