HARvEsT.-This has been busy week with
our farmers, who have about finished harvesting
their wheat The crop saved is fully up to the
average in amount, but this is due to the incrras-
ed acreage, the yield per acre being at least one
third below the average. Some fields of wheat
have been severely injured by the fly. In some
localities the yield per acre, it is believed, will
turn out larger than usual.
The crop of oats will be short and the grain
probably light, The hay crop will also he short.

not collect my senses, but l was perfect

with entire truth this charge. Il had
not yet noticed the bill in her handy

never 'ffered man drink, or paid for
one Tor him.. in the whole course of nv
life:"
She turned slowly toward me, and
situated as was with plastered wall
on the one side, and no escape except
over my wife on the other, felt the
might and majesty of woman. "Mr.
Witherton," she again said-and she
was wearing at the time her triple
frilled night-cap, and her black-rimmed
spectacles to assist her eyes in decipher-
ing the document she held in her hand
tam l to understand that you, and
you alone, imbibed one dollar and fifty
cents worth of drinks on the 18th De-
cember. Then, if 50, thank Heaven
that there are such places as inebriate

Itoo then rose up from my pillow, as
the nature of the charge began to dawn
upon me. l took the bill from her hand
and pretended to inspect it, although 1

and then what could l do but make
clean breast of it, and confess all? and

You would understand how difficult if
you knew Mrs. Witherton personally;
but still my Maria listened composediy,
only breaking the silence once, and that
was when l came to the part where l
had insinuatcd to the hotel clerk that I
vas willing to make up any deficiency

pleasant, condensed in two words. 1t is

her emphasis, though, which, after all,

with a wonderful prolongation of sound,

But l too have at last story to tell,

I 4. TheFeconomy with which business may
be carried on here the lowness of rentals /;
the extensive ground-room available by all
prominent business concerns the many lines
of rail transportation east, west, north and
south and by river; the ease with which
| goods may be here handled and stored the
| fact that goods may be shipped to fully half
| the State several days in advance of ship
ments from the bay; that Sacramento is
! nearer and more convenient to all the trans
mountain section all these things are advan-
| tages which accrue to the business house I'M
| der consideration. Many others may be
cited, but they will suggest themselves to all
| thoughtful minds.
| The firm of Huntington, Hopkins & Co.,
as now constituted, consists of G. 7. Hum
tington, Albert Gallatin, w. r. S. Foye and
| Charles Miller. The first-named has his res
idence at the East, the next two manage the
| Sacramento house. and the last named the
| San Francisco house.
G. T. Huntington is Q native of Hawinton,
| Connecticut, where he was born October %,
| 1921. He was early taught the necessity of
| hard labor, and by force of circumstances
was made self-reliant. He early removed to
| Otsego county, New York. He entered upon
| business life before he reached his majority.
He was possessed of great caution, indomitable
| perseverance and uhtiring patience, and had
| a natural love for commercial pursuits. He
came to California in 1S49, in the old
ship Humboldt, and very soon located
at Sacramento, forming a partner
| ship with Mr.. Hammond, his brother
in-law and a Mr.. Schultz, and they
conducted first a general variety and soon af
ter hardware business at what was then 81
K street. In 1852 Hammond and Schultz re-
tired. In the spring of 1853 L. A. Massol
| and Henry Merwin united with Mr.. Hunt
ington in the hardware business. By limita-
ton the partnership expired in two years, and
Mason and Merwin retiring went into bust
ness on J street, between Third and Fourth
streets. immediately Mark Hopkins formed
partnership under the name of Huntington
& Hopkins, and the business was continued
at what was then 81 X street, a place yet
popularity known by that number and which
is still retained. Mr.. Huntington earned
his first dollar when about II years of
age working on the wood-pile of neighbor.
From that time on he
MADE HIS OWN LIVING.
When he became merchant he was early
and late at his store and always ready for
hard labor.
1t is said that Huntington and Hopkins,
when in the infancy of their business, were
compelled to practice the most rigid economy,
and it is believed that at no time did they
ever speculate in mining stock, or carry upon
their books bills necessitating forced collec-
tions. They were not ouly dilligent in busi
ness, but far.seeing and cautions and at the
outset agreed and resolved that they would
attain business success and achieve wealth
only through legitimate business methods.
The firm soon had liberal credit, and its
name early became the best guarantee for
promises to pay. The business grew slowly

which are secured for display the numbered
and priced samples of an endless. variety of
shelf goods.
Cut off by an arched brick wall there is
beyond, and to the rear of this section, a
store-room, 40 by co feet in size. Here are
to he found on floor, shelf, terrace,
and in stacks and racks, great quanti-
ties of heavy hardware, gas fittings, wire
cloth, brass goods, tools of all grades and
classes commonly in use by builders, machin.
lists, trimmers, carriage builders, and in
nearly or quite all other trade vocations.
Here also are to be found betting stock and
rubber packing, hose, blacksmiths' sup
plies, axles, springs, carriage fittings, in vast
variety and supply, Manila and Sisal rope,
picks, pumps, blacking, stove polish, horse
and mule shoes, etc.
IN THE BASEMENT
Beneath the 40 by 16O section is the storage
warerooms for heavy goods in cases, pack
ages and bundles, ready for shipment, such
as nails, spikes, and handles for all kinds of
tools.
Upon the third floor are to be found lighter
tools and handles, traps, agricultural hand
tools, kitchen appliances and novel imple-
ments, light cordase, shears, house cutlery,
etc.
IN ALL THESE DEPARTMENTS
Every inch of space is utilized. There is no
waste room whatever. So vast is the stock
and so varied that the neatest and all possible
devices have been availed to store it, and
hence elevated platforms, false floors, double
counters and elaborate racks are to be seen on
every hand. Even the ceiling space is
brought into use, and from it hang suspended
goods capable of being thus stored.
The alley of the block traverses it at the
rear of the frontage thus described. The X
street front main floor is on the street level,
while the alley declines by easy grade to the
level of the basement floor. This proves
great convenience, as it will be seen at
glance that goods can be through the medium
of the elevators conveyed from any part of
the establishment to the trucks in the alley,
or lifted therefrom to any desired position.
AS nearly all classes of goods dealt in in the
heavier lines are kept in cases ready for quick
shipment, the alleyway gives great facility
for rapidity in filling orders. On the south
of this alley is the second lot of buildings &C.
cupied by the firm, and to which the passage
way named bears like admirably convent
ent relation.
THIS SECOND GROUP
OF warehouses is known as the L-street
division. 1t is connected with the k-street
front by neat bridge spanning the alley In
no brief space can the reporter describe this
section, which embraces the iron and coal
warehouses of the establishment. The sec
ton covers space 100 by 16O feet, and in
cludes two brick buildings, which occupy the
whole area. The first of these buildings,
upon the east is fitted up with racks of novel
and latest pattern for the storage of iron, and
along their fronts run railway tracks mounted
with cars having tops revolving upon swivel
joints. The racks mainly stand at an
acute angle to the tracks, so that long iron
rods and bars can be discharged from the
