Many theories are advanced In ref

among which is one by the Stockton;
Herald's as follows: e., frs
"ours is that Sharon married Althea

ass. It would not To beyond ShAron's

The most plausible theory seems to
be that the so.called contract was writ
ten by Miss Aggie on sheet Of paper
which she found containing the genu-
inc signature Of Sharon, over which
the body OF the document was written.
II Is said that the ex-senator had .
careless and foolish habit OF writing
his name on scraps Of paper, and BY
this means the signature may be Genu-

fair statement Of the situation. a. fol-
lows:
"rhe Superintendent used to be al.
lowed his travelling expenses to go
around through the State and yiLt and
examine the schools and talk to tho
boys and girls at work over their books
and take counsel With the teachers.
de. even then, however, could not act
with any authority. The law gave him
no power to do anything towards cor
reeting abuses or making improvements.
Still. by his visitations once q year,
something might be done in tho way
suggested for the good OF public educa-
tion. But the Superintendent in Office
now cannot even visit the schools as n
friend. 1t costs a great deal to travel
over the State. That he eau travel ON
bis slight salary at his own expense Is
OF course out of the question"
II the latterSclause Of the above is
correct with reference to a salary Of
$1,000. what can be expected Of

Olive Cnltnre In America.

The olive has lately acquired for
Americans new and practical interest
from the discovery that it can be easily
and profitably grown in California.
Residents of California have been
accustomed to consider small bottle
e Mission oil" for their salad as a
MEASURE for it far surpasses in purity
and sweetness any imported oil. But
It is only within few Yeas that
Eivate owners of land in Southern
California have seriously considered the
question whether olive culture could
be made paying enterprise. So many
Possibilities cling to the broad lands
and rich soil of the Golden State that
it is not wonderful if some Of them
have been overlooked. And, though
experiments in olive-growing have
been male on small scale with COOL
success during the last twenty years,
popular interest is only nyw beginning
to be awakened. In the first place
there was the drawback, peculiarly
great to the American temperament,
of the slowness of growth, and irregu-
lar productiveness of the olive in Eu-
rope. The old Tuscan saying is. plant
vineyard for yourself, an orange
grove for your children. and an olive
orchard for your grandchildren"
As a people, we are not fond
of looking far into the future;
and besides, Judging from ourselves, we
are not at all sure that our grand
children will wish to live where we
do. But the olive is good enough to
adapt itself to the rapitity of American
demands. 1t natures much earlier
than in Europe, and bears Oftener and
more plentifully. The system of pro-
pagation from cuttings, as far as can
be Judged at present, gives, in our rich
soil, robust trees; and there is no need
to employ the slow process of raising
them from the seed. Five years is
surely not long to wait for crop; and
after that time, according to the
best California authorities, the
trees will yield a full and in
many cases an annual harvest
At a late meeting of the State horti-
cultural society in San Francisco ii
was stated that one olive farm yielded
- 200 to the acre. These trees bore
every year, and were situated on
." adobe" hillsides, the bottom lands
being found, as in Italy, less favorable
to the fruit. The. variety was the
" Mission olive" which has not beer
identified with any of the varieties
now cultivated in Europe. The olive
was introduced into South America il
1860, by Antonio Ribera; but the
California trees sprang from seeds sent
from San Bias in Mexico by Don
Joseph de Galvez with his expedition
to rediscoyer the port of Monterey
Century.
