CALIFORNIA has more potatoes
than she can afford to dig, and
thousands of bushels Of the tubers
will be permitted to rot in the hills,
The Sacramento Bee says that in
what is known as the "Pearson
Reclamation District" no less than
10000 bushels will be thus permitted
to return to the soil as fertilizer.
California is not slow in the matter
of transporting her products, but
potatoes are too bulky aud too cheap
in the eastern sections of the coun
try to make it profitable to s hip
them.
THERE was a queer scene on a
Mineral Point passenger train the
other day A woman traveller had
vacated her seat for a moment when
man came along and proposed
occupying it, He was told by the
other occupant that the seau was
engaged, but he paid no attention
to the injunction. The woman re-
turned and claimed the seat. The
man reluctantly give it up, but not
without expressing himself in
language that caused her to dra V a
revolver upon him. He immedi ateIy
drew his revolver; but neither one
seemed anxious to commence shoot
ing, aud the contest ended in a
violent use of words.--E.c.
WHILE the Ross Bros. were pros
pecting for ore last Wednesday,
with a drill on the eastern limits Of
the r. b. Tregi.gus land, and near
the small creek, about one and a
half miles northeast Of this city,
they struck strong flow Of water
about sixteen feet deep and
about six feet below the bed of the
running water. When cleaned out
the hole threw a stream Of pure
water sufficient to fill two
inch pipe How long it will cou.
tinue to flow time will tell Other
holes will be drilled within close
range Of this one, and il is hoped
that the desired fu4 will be real
