esplanade on Siskiyou boulevard has been kept in fine
condition by a liberal soaking these spring evenings.
hiut tnere is objection on the part of passing motorists
that their shiny cars, too, are included in the
drenching.
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.

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.

according to the report of Manag
ing Director Tom L. 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.
