"We hnve nil classes of criminals ninutii; thc-o workmen," continued Mr. Kilt radge, "life-tenners for mur der. Iilphwnyincn of the bad const type, and on through the vnrious grade down to the lareenist. Wo arc U"ing them to construct thirty miles of highway between San Francisco and Crescent City, for building which the state commission has no money. It will prove to be n very valuable highway when completed, but it jvisses through n rugged, rough, mountainous country and would re (liiire a huge expenditure of money in its I'liiif-truction if done under the or dinary contract system. - Costs the Ktufo Nothing t "llcing done by tho convicts, it Vots the statu practically nothing. They ate paid nothing for their work. They do it willingly to obtain t'tcir lilieitv. They spent to regard it as n special privilege to escape the pri-'.-jti walls and the wretched prison lilc. We feed them well and house them in tents or wooden shacks along tiiu route of work and they arc content. "There Ls not a prisoners' guard on the job. Wo have two camps of sixty mcu each, with 0110 foreman and tin ec Mib-forenien for each camp. On (Sundays the men arc permitted to .'loiiiii about the 'mountains and enjoy .sightseeing without an attendant. We have been working them three months in this manner and have had no ser ious tiouble. A few had to be sent back to prison because they refused to work tegularly and really became a distui bing element at times. Tliev weie agitators of the I. W. W. type.

Woik "Theie are no attempts at running away, riioy know they arc not guarded, but they piefer hard work to the sordid, wrecking life of the peni tentiary. They speak of this phase of their liberty frequently. Some of them expect commutation of sentence for good behavior, while they all ap parently yearn for entire 'freedom again. There are many thoughtful, serious-tninded men among them. .Some of them arc married men and sinceiely hope to he nblc to reh'r: to their wives nnd little ones. "In the spring I will have about -100 convicts in camp under the same con dition. We hnve had thirty inehft. of ruin during the past three months, but we have lost only one day on ac count of bad weather. "That kind of employment fits the prisoners for the prolitablc use of their t.me when they nic jeleascd to pursue civil life again. Ft serves to protect their health and keeps them in better temper to take up their law lul citizenship responsibilities. "The honor system is one of the special features of Governor John son's sceitnd administration. It will prni an economic success, as well as a tiicnph from uu humanitarian point of view. Governor West of Oregon applied it with success, also. In Washington the convicts aie woiked on the more expensive guard system." CHINESE PROVINCE OPPOSES CHANGE SA.V FRANCISCO.

In response to telegrams 6ent to military leaders In the provinces by the Shanghai head quarters, It was said, active support of the revolution was promlsod.

DANES REFUSE TO HEAR FORD PEACE PARTY COPBNIiAUE.V, Dec. 2S The Danish government will prohibit the members of the Ford poace expedl ' (Ion from holding meetings under a dceUIon rendered after the recent Mult of Hrling lljornson, son of the lute Norwegian dramatUt, who en deavored to deliver a lecturo on the Kuiopoan Mar.

Cute Is now In charge of the fruit Inspection In this county and as pathologist Is ready and willing to aid you at nil times In any questions relating to agrlculturo or horticulture. Mr. Cate wishes that you will consult hi in freely and that you would bring to his notlco any thing which might provo of Interest to the farming or fruit growing In dustries In tho valley. At a meeting with tho county In spectors It was decided to Immediate ly start a vigorous campaign against our old enemy, tho blight. The In spectors have been given orders that all cases of blight which may come under their observation must bo promptly eliminated. Under the Joint orders of Mr. Cato nnd myself, the Inspectors have no alternative but to enforce the prompt cutting out and burning of till blight Infected wood. Ituportnnco of Action It seems heedless for mo to dwell nt any length on tho Importance of Immediate action in this matter so I will only say n few words on this subject. Spring Is comparatively u short ways off. Tho weather, be tween now and the blooming period Is uncertain and In order to accom plish much every opportunity must bo taken advantngo of. In a short tlmo wo will all bo rushed with our spring work and unless tho blight la removed now there is a grent chanco that In tho spring rush a great deal of It will be overlooked. It seems to bo a mistaken idea among somo fruit growers that tho only source of Infection from blight In spring Is from a hold-over. This Ih not tho case, as each Infection in ado from the hold-over Is In Itself a now source of infection. So that an Infection originating from a hold over Is only u starter, after that every Infection Is another sourco of trou ble. Therefore, In order to prevent on outbreak In the spring, It is our de sire to ellmlnato every known Infec tion before the sap begins to flow. UJI.OOO Acrrs or Orchard We have about 23,000 acres of trees in the county nnd we havo but four Inspectors to look after these It must also bo remembered that these 23,000 ncres Is only orchard acreage and means that, In order to go over them, a greater part of tho entlro county must be covered. Tho county court has shown itself to bo perfectly willing to aid us at all times and I havo no doubt that we can havo ns many more inspectors as wo may need. Hut It Is our desire that wo hold tho cost of Inspection down to tho last cent nnd wo aro firmly con vinced that, for the present nt least, our Inspection force Is amplo. This, however, Is truo only In as far as you, iih growers and tax-payers, care to make It. Tho state hor ticultural laws requlro you to keep your orcnaras, snane trees, etc., rreo from diseases and it Ih mandatory upon tho commissioner and inspectors to carry out tho law. Now, if we re ceive your hearty co-operation, we can handle tho situation economically and efficiently and without trouble or friction. Therefore, It Is up to you to get behind this movement and mako It a success. In order to accomplish this wo now appeal to you immediately to out out and bum all blight Infected wood In your trees. DO IT NOW. Want to lxi Drhcu Tho other day a man, In another county, came to me and said: "You havo been after me to clean up nnd I havo done It. Now, I inn after you to see that you make tho others do the same." That Is what wo want every one of you to say to us. We want you to drive tisj wo don't want to have to drive you. In conclusion I wish to say that it Is the desire of Mr. Cate and myself to servo you at all times to tho best of our ability. As I have six other counties in my district tho nctual handling of tho inspectors must ho with Mr. Cate. You will find him a man who is vory anxious to please you and an Intense desire to make a succhj-8 of his work here. Ho is not only versed In horticulture, but also In agriculture, and he wlsho the furmer to consult him as well as the fruit grower. I therefore urgently request all fruit growers and farmors to give him, not only our moral sup port, but work with him personally to the end that wo may attain kiiccosh for us all. A. C.

We were the only coffee roasters on the coast to take the public into our confidence and share our saving with them. The public has saved thousands of dollars as a result. Now we must raise the price of our ROVAC CLUB brand. The high grade Central American and Sumatra Coffees from which it is blended have gone up are still going up. We have every reason to believe they will stay "up." UNTIL JANUARY 1ST YOU CAN BUY ROYAL CLUB COFFEE AT THE REDUCED PRICE.
