Is one full of hope that this years trans
actions will exceed all others. An enor-
nous increase in the grain acreage east of
the Cascades is reported, and bountiful

termined that their grain fleet next ason

Bancroft. History or California.

The nineteenth volume OF the History Of the
Pacific States. 10y HUBERT HOWE BANCROFT, is
nominally allotted to an account of the State
OF California between the years lS60-lS30 In
point OF fact however, 1t covers much longer
period, tracing the development OF agriculture
from the first settlement OF tho Pacific coast,
and OF tho commerce and courts Of law from
1s4S. Among other topics here discussed are the
attitude of the Californians during the civil war,
the Indian troubles and the Chinese question.
the extension Of mining aud stock gambling.
the framing OF new Constitution in 1S7S-79,
the railway system OF California and the prog
ress and prospects of San Francisco. In gem
