a crop of English walnuts for four years
from his ninety trees, and says he has
never sold any crop for less than 1920.
He recently contracted to sell his crop
OF the walnuts for exactly $105O. He
watches his trees as carefully as a mer-
chant would his ledgers; he knows all
about them; in fact, he makes a thor
ough business of fruit culture. The
average proceeds from each walnut tree
on his place this season is SLIGO. The
crop was not very large one either.
Then, too, the colonel has 1000 navel
orange trees that have extraordinary
care. His accurate account books,
which he keeps to show how much his
orchards cost and how we'll their prod
ucts pay him, prove that the annual
crop from these trees has for four years
sold for sums varying from 5000 to
$4350. Last year he got the last-named
price. His four acres of prune trees
yielded him 1915 last year, and $143S
this year. Besides there are three acres
of alfalfa, small fruits. vegetables, the
barn and the family residence.
Now, here is still another practical
illustration of what twenty-acre farm
will do in Southern California, under
the management of an efficient, wide
awake man. The property yields
annually gross average profit of $596S,
or net profit of $4S71. The net profit
for the past six months has been about
$4,000. We don't believe that one
farmer in half million east of the
Rocky mountains makes such profits
from the soil of any hundred acres,

WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Big Rumpus Stirred Up in the Base
ball Camp.


CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The American as
had not been in such hurry in getting
and stirring up rumpus. The national
board OF control met here today and de-
clared war to the knife on the American
the board says the published reason for
the secession OF the association cannot
be regarded as more than pretext. The
consequences of its ill-advised action
must rest on that body. By it's own ac-
ton it has annulled the approval OF all
contracts with its players, and it's clubs
have released all the men from reserva-
ton. These players are now free to
sign with any other national agreement
club. Further, a most rigid boycott is
declared against any club playing under
the auspices OF the American association.
In a conference preceding the drawing
up OF this pronunciamento, it was
stated that the Bierbauer-Stovey decis-
ion was only seized on by the associa-
ton as a good excuse to pull out. A
week before that decision, their repre-
sentatives had been trying to sign
Pfetfer, Cooney, and other Chicago men,
telling them the association was about
to withdraw from the national agree
ment; that it could not last; the league
was going to the wall, and the Western
association would join hands with the
American. The men quietly notified
Spalding Of all this. Already many
players reserved by the association have
telegraphed their intention of standing
by the national agreement, and the as
sociation will probably find itself in a
bad way for players when the season
opens.
The International league has tele-
graphed Thurman that it will stand by
the national agreement, and a PROPOSE
tion has been received from gentleman
whose name is kept quiet, to form new
league in the east to take the place of
the association. What will happen
later depends upon whether the Ameri-
can association expresses repentance
and comes back into the fold.

A MANAGES DEED.
AN EXCITING INCIDENT ON AN

A Passenger Shoots Two of His Fellow

and Cuts His Throat.

BAGDAD, Cal, Feb. 22.-As train No.
8, being the delayed passenger train of
yesterday, was approaching Bagdad, on
the Atlantic and Pacific this morning, a
passenger, Edward Noa, of Stella, Neb.,
was overcome by fit of temporary in
sanity, and drawing 80 Smith & Wes-
son pistol, shot Todd Osmond through
the chin and cheek, inficting painful
but not dangerous wound. Noa then
turned his murderous weapon upon
s. Fleming, shooting him very
dangerously in the shoulder and
lung. The maniac then sprang from
the rapidly moving train and ran
short distance into the greasewood and
cut his throat, severing his windpipe,
before the train could he stopped and
the passengers and crew interfere with
him. The three wounded men were
taken to Daggett, where Noa was turned
over to the authorities in dying condi-
ton, and the victims were given medi-
cal attention. 1t is thought both will

THE STORM ON THE BAY.
Rain Falling in Torrents and the Wind
Blowing Great Guns.

Rain Falling In Torrents and the Wind
Blowing Great Guns.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The furious
rainstorm from the southeast, which set
in on Saturday morning, continued with
unabated severity all OF Saturday night
and Sunday. Rain fell in torrents dur
ing frequent squalls, and the barometer
continued falling. The direction of the
wind in the bay changed from southeast
this morning to south, and increased in
velocity at every moment, until at p.
m. it was blowing seventy miles an
hour. Out on the bay the water
was comparatively smooth, occa-
stoned by the direction of
the wind, but strong tide was flowing,
and this, with the heavy wind, made
navigation difficult. No accidents of
any moment were reported, although
small vessels moored to the docks re-
ceived severe shaking up. A barge on
Mission flats, loaded with lumber, was
capsized by the strong wind and her cargo
was strewn around for some distance.
No one was on board at the time. The
ships at anchor in the bay held their
ground pretty well, although they re-
ceived the full force of the wind and
tide. There were only two arrivals dur
ing the day, the steamer Corona, from
San Diego, and the steamer Acapulco,
from Panama. The ferry boats made all
their trips on time, but there was very
little travel either way. The high wind
played havoc with the lumber piles on
Fast street. Towing was dispensed
with during the day, the various move
ments being postponed until the wind
abated. Departures were limited to
three steamers.

three men, tangled in the rigging. He
tried to get some ranchers to help him
get the bodies out, but they refused and
busted themselves in getting out plundel
from the wreck. Smith managed to gel
one OF the bodies, which was that Of a
Chinaman.
The body OF Captain Charles Henry ol
the life-saving crew, who was lost over.
board last night, was found floating in
the water near Tiburon this afternoon.
A life preserver on the body kept it
afoat, and Henry undoubtedly died
from exposure.
Captain Colcord, OF the Elizabeth,
was an old trader and master, and this
was his fourth voyage on the Elizabeth,
in which he owned an interest. The
ship was valued at $4,000, and her
cargo at $125,00O.
w. Charles Barclay, the chief officer,
told the following account of the disas-
ter "We came in Saturday afternoon.
When opposite Lime point the wind
headed us off and we called for
a tugboat, which was answered by
the Alert. She threw us hawser,
which was carried away, and we set
sails to keep our vessel from going on
the shore. The Alert came up again,
and we again took her line, which was
soon parted. While being towed we
-clewed, up the sails and furled them.
AS soon as the hawssr parted, all began
to drift to leeward. The sea was fright
fully high and wild. The wind blew
veritable hurricane from the
southeast. We drifted on a four
and half-fathom bank. We then
launched the second cutter, manned by
three men, for the purpose of getting a
towline from the tug, which hovered
near us. The cutter was almost i'm
mediately capsized, and it's occupants
thrown into the water, from which they
were rescued by the men on the tug. I
then got the dingy over, and with two
other men l took the captains wife and
two children and put them safely on
board the tug Reliance. l then
returned to the ship and brought the
yards about, and tried by every means
known to navigator to save the ship
from it's impending doom. Captain
Colcord was badly hurt during the
afternoon, in being thrown against
the capstan, and was unable to move
without great pain, but he heroically
refused to be sent ashore, and
stoutly protested that he was will
ing to stay by the ship,
come whatever there might. The sea
was breaking heavily over the ships
decks, and at last the angry pillows tore
out the steering gear and left us beyond
the reach of human aid, to battle with
the elements.'
Following are the only names Mate
Barclay could give of those who
were drowned: Captain Colcord, Second
Officer Pendleton, William Redmond.

Garry the iBanner for Meanness.

The man who will carry the banner
for meanness when the great day of
awards comes round is the domestic ty-
rant. He browbeats his wife and bullies
his children, but a sturdy bootblack
could whip him and a year old calf make
him run. He is bird of beauty in COM
pany and hornet at home. His wife is
more afraid of him than she will be of
death when that grim messenger knocks
at the gates and bids her soul come
along with him. One has comparative
respect for such men as John L. Sulli-
van, who go into the ring and fight their
match. But what contempt is too pro-
found to award the coward who vents his
superb resources of brutal meanness upon
women and children-his own wife and
his sons and daughters! If / had the
arranging of such mems funeral services
Iwould shoot them off into space that
no dust from their mean bodies should
deface the honest bosom of old Mother
Earth. Chicago Herald.
