They are as fine as one need want to
See," answered the reporter, as Mr. Shad-
man handed him the twig, which was
about eight inches long and contained
sixteen large, well-tormed, bright-colored
half-grown olives, which had every ap-
pearancc OF having grown meath ltaly's

How many of those trees have you?'

lust loaded down with them. | will

Georgia, comparatively speaking, who
know that there is an olive-grove in the
State. My grove is the only commercial
one cast of the Rocky Mountains. There
are only two groves in California, but
the finest they bear will compare i'll no
way with those raised here. Mine are
much larger and better"
What do you do with the olives you
raise? ?"
pickle some of them, but make the
larger portion of them into oil. | have
on my place now quantity of the OF
that is as nee and clear as can be made
anywhere"
How does oIive-growing compare
with cotton-raising, from a pecuniarl
standpoint" ?"
"You can make no comparison, there
is so much more profit in the olives
Why, make $50 gallons of oil every
yeyr, that readily sells on an average
OF SO gallon, or the total output for
81 ,25O. That is all clear profit, too, to
| sell enough of the pickle TO pay all en-
penses. What three acres can you pu

81 $50 clear money? Yes, sir; find ;

COUNCIL BUILDING COMMITTEE.

Mayor Clement and members OF the
building committee consisting of Council
men Glaze. Carson and Wright spent
couple of hours yesterday looking around
at the public buildings of the city. Ihey
called at the hose house being erected on
the corner of Fourth avenue and Thlr-
teenth street and observed that the Jolst
for the lower floor are most any where
from two to three feet apart and one OF
them noticed to be only an inch and QUE
eighth wide They reached the conclusion
that was not a good start for IA solid moor
for hose house and will report favorable
to a change in that particular Some OF
the other features of the work are said to
be scarcely admissible and the attention of
the contractor will be called to it.
Over ia the Fifth ward hose house NO.
was more nearly completed and less chance
for observation. The floor had been COM
pieted and they could not exactly figure on
the width aud strength of the under
beams.
There was some attention paid to build
ing stone as preparatory TO dealing with
the city building question Some OF the
new buildings were visited and also some
of the old ones examining the stone USED.
The mayor seemed to think the Carthage,
Missouri, stone used in the Paramount
college building very fine, if not superior
to any they saw for its cost. The question
of the kind of stone that will be used in
the city building, it is thought, may come
up at the next meeting Of the city council.
