tiana creek, just west Of Mr.. Lobdell's

Of the best quality. Clay from this farm
has been sold to the Diamond State Iron
Co., The Lobdell Car Wheel Company.
The Pusey & Jones Company, and other
concerns for use in their furnaces for
some years, but it was never before
worked up into fire brick. The deposit is
close to the creek and the clay is loaded
on scows with very little handling.
Being close to the Delaware railroad

with all the large cities of the East

Kenealy to the East was graded very
high by the consignees. At the low
price OF twenty cents gallon this yield
of grapes will guarantee $50 an acre
gross receipts. The Messrs. Dillon Il
Kenealy are satisfied that when their
vineyard is fully matured they will net
from $25 900 to $50, 900 year from their
two hundred acres. The original price
of the land was a mere bagatelle, and
they could sell their property now for
sum which would discount the profits OF
any legitimate mercantile business. The
notable circums stances OF their ex-
pertinent are that they make
careful cultivation take the place
of the usual irrigation, the ex-
ceptional health of the vines, the graft
flying results in the quality of the wine,
and the absolut absence of any disease.
Such examples should be made generally

Our city is just now honored with the
presence of Ex-Governor Gray, OF In
diana, one of the most distinguished po-
litical leaders in the United States. Mr..
Gray has made an extended trip over
the Pacific Coast, including Washington
Territory and Oregon. As it is his first
visit to this part OF the Republic, he finds
that the country far surpasses in reality
anything he had imagined it to be before
he saw it. He sees in the undeveloped
and diversified resources Of this Coast the
elements OF future greatness far beyond
anything he could have ascribed to it be-
fore his view had been clarified by
personal inspection. The name OF
Governor Gray has been conspicuously
prominent in the Democratic party for
a number of years, and since the death
of MIR. Hendricks he has been looked
upon bv the people of his own State as
that gentlemsn's natural and legitimate
| political successor. Had it not been for
the craf,ily worked.up hurrah for Mr..
Thurman in the last National Demo
cratic Convention, he would have had
the second place on the ticket. That
would have secured the electoral vote oi
Indiana to the party, for Mr.. Gray has
never been defeated in his own State
He is man of pronounced political sa'
gacity, and his advice as a party leader
is always wise and instinct with success
Amongst the possible men in the party
for the highest offices in the nation, none
stands more conspicuous before the
people of the country than Isaac P. Gray
We hope his visit here will be an agreeable
one, and that he will return home with
pleasant memories of part of the Re
public which we would be glad to see al
our leading men become familiar with by
personal inspection.
