A PROMISE FULFILLED.

n little more than year ago we pub
lished in these columns notice of the
discovery of Sheridan's Condition Pow
der to make hens lay. In making that
announcement we relied wholly upon the
character and reputation of the manufac-
turers. TO our own mind, at that time,
the idea of making hens lay the year
round by artificial or any other means,
seemed absurd, but we have since learned
that it can be done. The notice alluded
to above attracted universal attention,
and thousands of people, while not be-
lieving that Sheridan's Powder could
accomplish all that was claimed for it.,
thought it was at least worth a trial,
The trial was made during December,
January and February. No other months
could have been selected which would
have given this Powder so severe test,
for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these
months except in rare cases. But the
result of this trial was most satisfactory
and conclusive. Hundreds of those who
made the trial received from Is to "A
eggs per hen per month, while many one
egg day from each hen. The price of
eggs during December, January and Feb
ruary last, averaged 80 to 80 cents per
dozen. Thus it will be seen that a very
few hens each laying an egg a day would
support a small family. |. 5. johnson Il

THE Supreme Court has disciplined a
member of the bar of considerable promi-
nenee by two-years' suspension for I'M
professional conduct. The act gives en-
enlargement to the hope that lawyers are
to be held to stricter accountability in this
State. At the very best the professional
ethics of the class have been at loose ends
for long time, and the self-respecting
members of the bar have long been shamed
by the unprofessional conduct of some prac-
titioners. Since lawyers are officers of the
Court, and in them is rerosed of necessity
great trusts and great interests they
should be held to responsibility of the
sternest kind, and standard of conduct
set for them and attainment required, that
will place the profession, as it sh.uld be,
beyond reproach.

A GOOD REASON.

The old Constitution contained this pro-
vision:
Article ", Section 81. No lottery shall be
authorized by this State, nor shall the sale of
lottery tickets be allowed.
The new Constitution, adopted in 1879,
contains this clause:
Article ", Section &c. The Legislature shall
have no power to authorize lotteries or gift
enterprises for any purpose, and shall pass la VS.
to prohibit the sale in this State of lottery or
gift enterprise tickets, or tickets in any scheme
in the nature of a lottery.
The people of California have thus very
clearly defined the policy of the State re-
garding this very vicious form of gaming.
Yet our Third street contemporary, with
sheer at the sentiment OF the people en-
grating these prohibitions upon the funda-
mental law, asks; "Why not obtain per-
mission from the Legislature to start
lottery by means of which we can make
money enough to be enabled to snap our
fingers at our creditors?" The question
answers ITSELF There is no accounting for
the ignorance of some people,

UTAH.
He Came Honestlx INV n.

SALT LAKE CITY, December 5th.-In the
First District Court. on Saturday, the
Grand Jury appeared before Judge Hen
derson with a refractory witness, boy,
who, with his mother, had appalled, the
jury. The boys name is Alfred Stowell.
He said he did not know his name could
not read nor write, did not know who his
father was, nor his mother He had not
seen his father for twenty-five years; then
he was with his aunt Maria. These an
swers had completely paralyzed the jury.
The Judge received unsatisfactory answers
to number of questions. The boy pro-
tested that he did not know his mother.
AT last the Court asked if he knew the
nature, of an oath. The boy said he guessed
he did, and in reply to the query of the
Court if he knew be could be sent to prison
for not telling the truth, informed the
Judge that he did not care what he did
with him. The boys mother was then
called, and said the boy was IA years old.
When asked why she did not tell the Jury
so, she said that when she was asked be-
fore that body she told them the bow was
II, and that was true, because if he was
IA he must be u. The Court said such a
subterfuge would not work he also re-
marked that evidently the boy had come
honestly by his propensity to lie They
were dismissed, with an admonition that
they must tell the truth to the Grand Jury,
or be punished, and it is presumed that
both did so, as nothing more was heard
from them

But the picture stands alone, and our
contemporary knows that it represents. no
scene in any part of agricultural Califor-
MIA; that not in all its history has there
been any such event as the cut falsely por-
trays that its illustration would not even
be true if representing the great attitudes
of the Sierra Range, for there no such farm
scenes are known. 1t is possible that it
could seemingly justify, by saying that in
some of the high attitudes of the Sierras
there are cattle ranges, or here and there
small spots cultivated where snow falls
heavily in winter. But that it is fair or
honorable for such a journal to print such
picture without explanation, and with
out locating the spot represented, is not
true In Siskiyou and Modoc, and some of
the mountain counties, it can search out
snowfall, and houses with snow-shedding
roofs, and here and there small ranch
where cattle need shelter But it does not
do this. 1t knows that the words northern
California include the great Sacramento
valley, and the snowless, warm and semi
tropic counties of Tehama, Butte, Colusa,
Sonoma, Yolo, Suffer, Yuba, Sacramento,
Solano, Napa, and lower Placer and ANA
dor, where in midwinter the orange ripens,
and the farmer knows neither snow nor ice
as constituents of the climate, and where
he turns the soil and may gather produce
from it every day of the whole round year.
Knowing this the journal named presents
picture that will be taken by the world
as typical of northern California generally;
of northern California as commonly named
and understood.
As all action must be fortified by motive,
we are wholly at loss to account for this
strange action by the Resources upon any
other hypothesis-which we are 10th to
entertain-than that it is intended to mill
tate against this section, and to minister to
the unfair and disreputable policy of some
southern California agencies. 1t certainly
will be received at the East as representa-
tive of agricultural northern California. 1t
will be quoted by the southern California
press as an evidence of the undesirability
of all the northern section, and the widest
possible circulation will be given to it, and
for all this misrepresentation the San Fran
cisco paper will be responsible.
To be perfectly fair with the paper
named, it must be said that in the same
issue it has two articles on the citrus fair
to be held here next week, and warmly
gives denial to the story that in northern
California citrus fruits will not grow, and
states of its own knowledge that what we
claim for northern California is verify, and
advises home-seekers TO come to this sec
ton. But this inconsistency between its
printed and its pictorial expression is
made thereby the more unaccountable. 1t
owes the people of northern California an
explanation which it would appear to be
exceeding difficult to make.

Centennial Celebration of the Founding
of Santa Barbara.

SANTA BARBARA, December 5th.-The
four days celebration of the Santa Barbara
Missions centennial began to-day under
