Captain Foster returned yesterday from a
ulp to the upper Sacramento. where he
went TO take look at the growing grain
ana form an estimate of the acreage and
probaole yield under ordinary circum-
stances. He thinks the acreage sown is not
as large as has often been the case, the rain
having been so continuous during the
winter that the farmers in many places
were unable to pillow some of their land I'M
til too late; and in some localities grain
sown has been drowned out by overflow
from the river. There consequently will
scarcely be as big a crop as has been
known, but everything indicates fine
yield, as the growing grain has an admlra-
bic appearance. Considerable blowing is
| now being done by farmers who intend to
| Jet their land summer fallow.

aboard " Men standing near by thought
| be meant an invitation for them 10 get in,
so that they could see better, and the
vehicle was filled in short order by people
who just then believed that the driver was
| one of the best fellows in the world. When
| he could catch his breath, however he
| wanted to know what in Arizona they
| meant by such conduct, whereat they were
| greatly astonished. He explained that he
| wanted to cross the bridge, was in hurry.

| ately. One of them Indignantly responded.
