T. /. Thompson in the parade OF the For

went UD TO them and told them to climb out,
as he had paid for the rig and pr0pOset to
have it. The editorial brethren got out, and
as they trudged along in the dust perspir-

ride"

Santa Rosa shows very unmistakable
signs of taking on a new lease Of enterpris-
ing life There are large number of big
schemes working that will result in more
