Crops in Salinas Valley.

A resident of Salinas valley fur
nishes the following concerning the
number of acres of grain sown there,
the prospects, etc.: Sown on John B.
Cooper's ranch, 1000 acres; G. s. Alb
bolts, 5000 acres; f. s. Springs, TO-
600; David Jacks, $4,000; A. & NJ.
Gonzales, 1900; Frank Doud, 1000;
A. WATSON, 1000; c. P. Bailey, 1000;
J. B. Iverson d Co., 1000; F. Sher-
wood, 5000; Santa Rita ranch, 10, 900;
Alisal ranch, $1,000; other parties, 3d.
600; making a total of $4,000 acres
under cultivation. Allowing twenty
sacks to the acre, which is a small es-
innate, 100000 sacks of 100 pounds
each will give the enormous quantity
OF 276, 100000 pounds or 5000 tons,
about one-half more than has ever
been raised in the valley before. From
one end of the valley to the other
nearly 20 miles-the whole surface Of
the country presents almost one level,
unbroken field of waving grain. The
prospects for favorable season have
never been better, and thus far we
have not been visited by cold north
winds or blight Of any kind.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-04-09
Hight of American Mountains.

The highest of the Vermont noun
tains are not all accurately measured,
and no two books give them exactly
alike, but so near as can be ascertained
they range thus: Mansfield, 1850;
CamePs-hump, 4,lS9; Jay Peak, 4,OlS;
Willoughby, $500; Killington, 1915;
Ascutney, near Windsor, 3, 800. Mount
Oxford, the highest Canadian peak, is
but $500, and the famous Owls Head,
on Lake Memphremagog, but 1850.
OF the New Hampshire mountains
Mount Pleasant is little higher than
Mansfield (5,SO0); and Mount Webster,
in the Notch, is about the hight of
Jay Peak, while Chocorua and Kear-
sarge are 1000 feet lower than Mans
field. Jay Peak and the Pinnacle,
standing as they do, far to the north,
and little beyond the fertile region
of Vermont, resemble more the noun
tains OF New Hampshire and the Adj
rondacks. The mountains around
West Point, New York, vary from
1000 to 1000 feet, the highest scarcely
reaching that figure, but the Catskills
are higher than any of those noun
tains named, ranging from 5000 to al
most 5000 feet. The Mountain House
stands on plateau 5000 feet high,
while the South Mountain is some
5000 feet, and the Round 1000 feet
higher than the Mountain House. The
highest of all the mountains in the
Eastern States is, as is well known,
Mount Washington, the summit Of
which is some 6,226 feet above the sea
level.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-04-09
Interest on Railroad Subsidy Bonds.

The Philadelp hia Ledger says: "The
non-payment of debts due the Govern
ment from the Kansas Pacific, Central
Pacific and Union Pacific Railway
Companies is again attracting atten-
ton. The three companies named
owe on principal outstanding $59,421,-
632. They have paid on interest on
the same by transportation 81, 757 1893,
leaving Of interest unpaid 1909, 1914.
In addition to this, the accrued inter-
est on the first of February was $685.
117.56. None of these railroads have
yet paid the Government a dollar in
money on any account, although their
interest is payable semi-annually. 1t
cannot be complained that the COM
panies are poor, for according to Off
cial figures they have made a good
deal of money. The most sanguine
friends of the Union and Central Pa
cific Railroad Companies did not pre-
dict the financial success they have
already achieved. Let us see what it
is: The total bonded debt of the Gen.
trail is $50, AL, 800, and of the Union
Pacific, $76, 1924, or a total of both
roads of $256,607, 1924. The earnings of
the two companies for the last five
years are SS9,S59,S74. The net earn
ings of the two companies in 1873 are
$l3,365, 747, an amount equal to six per
cent on $220,000,0OO. These figures
