ly mashed up, but he managed to crawl

Says the Fresno Republican: "Hay-
ing is progressing finely all over the
county, and the price of hay has fallen
from the price at which it was held six
weeks ago, s25, to So per ton. The crop
will be very large, but will not be so far
in excess of the demand this fall as some
farmers anticipate. We know of one
baling crew that already has 100 tons of
hay engaged to bale, and will probably
have five months run. Other crews
have much engaged ahead and are at
work, but the rapid settlement of the
plain and foothill lands of our county by
new comers will create home market
much larger than heretofore known
Hay will be worth from So to So per ton
during the summer, and we believe the
price will reach $40 in the fall.
The San Bernardino Times says: Los
Angeles is fast approaching the positit
of second city in California in size and
population, and will probably within a
year be Justly entitled to that claim. At
present Oakland ranks her by a few
thousand, but the phenomenal growth
of Los Angeles, ii it continues a short
time longer, as it undoubtedly will, will
overcome the difference. From town
Of about g. 72S in 1870, it increased only
to IL 1873 in 1880, and from that it has
advanced to over 10000 in 1886; and it
gives promise of still increasing as rap
idly for some time to come. Los Angeles
is the metropolis of Southern California
and always will be, and it will not be
long before she is the second city of the
State III size aud population, as she now
is in importance.
