This is the the title Of circular laid OH

make oil Of different test, and when he
has call from consumerif he does notin
variably recommend the nee Of high test

cost amounts to nothing as compared to
the safety?
As to his second proposition, he says
that oil manufactured az per the "provis-
ions Of this bill, will lose large share
OF Its hydrogen and carbon" Now ifthat
Is the casc why does he take out any OF the
hydrogen and carbon? cannot help but
admit that by leaving in the hydrogen and
cabron Its explosive qualities arc sustained
and the reverse effect Is had by taking them
out II instead OF using the words hydro

FROM all we can learn the pres.
ent is one of the most auspicious
seasons ever known In Los Angeles
county. 1t has been so poised, so
far, as to advance every local in
terest. The rains came late, thus
favoring our sheep and cattle inter
ests, for they very frequently come
so early in the season that pasture
is started prematurely and then
bllghted by the delayed later rains.
By a happy local dispensation
"dry" plowing-a thing impossible
in the San joaquin valley
is always feasible here, and
our farmers awaited themselves
very extensively of this local pe-
culiarity. We stand now in the at
titude of being able to harvest
abundant crops if not another drop
of rain should fall during the en-
tire remainder of the season. Our
only danger, in fact, lies in very
late rains. We can support heavy
rains during February, but it might
result in disaster for them to con-
tinue late in April. The only peril
to our wheat crop, which is unusu
ally large, lies in the possible ex-
tension of the rainfall to the un.
precedentedly late date of last year.
Our pastures are already on the
way to luxuriant growth. Barring
the loss of a few of our younger
fruit trees, we could not find 1t in
our hearts to modify the season so
far one whit. The indications OF
short crops In the rest of California
promise to our farmers an eager
and remunerative market, in
which the searching demand will
reach to the utmost limits of Cali.

xette, of Lahore, tslsgraphs from
Khelati Ghilzal, January 25th,
that supplies are obtained there
with great difficulty. The arrange
ments of the commissariat in the
roar of the army are in q dsplor.
BILE state and comnissary officers
appear unable to forward stores to
the front. The cavalry and artil-
lerymen and horses are suffering
from want Of clothing and food. The
people of the country are sulky and
inclined to be insolent. All ma
tives suspected Of bearing arms in
Candahar have been searched, con-
cealmsnt Of arms being punished.
Four elephants and 10S bull0eks
died from Geld and starvation. The
movement to Ghirisk and Khelati
Ghilzal are attributed at Candahar
to the scarcity Of forage in that
neighborhood. The eamsls there
are dying daily in great numbers,
the supply Of food having arrived
toe late to save them from the ef-
fects of previous starvation. The
troops are in good health and spir-

the monoteny and hardships of the
