not very forward On account of dry jan
uary, but later rains have brought it out
and made healthy growth.
Tehama = Condition, fine; growth,
good.
San Mateo-Looking well; growth i'm
proving.
San Bernardino-Quite promising.
Trinity-Good; better than usual.
Sonoma-Both above the average.
Contra Costa-Good; ground covered al
ready with ample moisture; would make
crop without more rain, but with spring
showers the yield would be increased.
The danger, if any, is from too large a
growth of straw, with a consequent liza
bility to lodge and rust.
Live stock entered the winter season in
poor condition, owing to the drought OF
last fall, but are now generally healthy
and doing well. Some isolated cases OF
CHAMBERS in horses have been reported,
but the animals were promptly killed,
thus preventing the spread OF the disease.
Live stock, especially horses and cattle,
have been very much improved by in
PRODUCTION of better blood. This climate
is very favorable for all classes OF domes-
tic animals, as they need no winter pro-
lection in most parts of the State, and
very little feed outside of natural pastur-
age.

ESTHETIC COOKERY.
An Interesting Lecture on the Subjecl
by an Intelligent Lady.

An Interesting Lecture on the subject
by an Intelligent Lady.
The first lecture of what promises to
be very instructive and interesting
series, was given by Mrs. e. NJ. Hinck
ley. of San Francisco, last evening, in
the rooms Of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association, l0l1 Ninth street. Mrs.
Hinckley is a graduate of the great Bos-
ton school, and a very experienced and
accomplished teacher.
The lecture was not theoretical only,
but accompanied by practical demonstra-
tions. The teacher, arrayed in dainty
white sleeves, cap and apron, seemed the
very ideal of the aristocracy of the
kitchen.
The rise of the modern schools of cook
cry was first briefly Sketched, beginning
with the Boston school fifteen years ago,
and followed at short intervals, by the
schools in New York and Washington,
ID. c., all of which have achieved splen-
did success. The pioneer i'll this depart
ment on this coast is Miss Corsen, who
established Il school in Oakland seven
years ago. The schools now established
in San Francisco and Los Angeles are
gaining rapidly i'll popularity, and now
command ample public attention and
support.
Some few common fallacies in popular
cooking were next touched upon, after
which the subject of the evening, THE
Boiling of Common Vegetables" was
fully explained.
Mrs Hinckley's instructions were e>-
ceedingly clear and practical throughout.
and the ladies in attendance-many OF
whom are housekeepers of many years
xperience-eXpresse themselves as
highly satisfied with the initial lecture.
Mrs. Hinckley's arguments and style
of doing things went far to convince her
audience that, with trained intelligence
in the kitchen, there will be no need of
burned fingers, soiled aprons, flushed
faces, nor soured tempers, and that it
might even have an important influence
on the business of the divorce courts.
The lecture concluded with n practical
test Of the strength and purity of rival
baking powders. The next lecture of the
series will shortly be announced.

PETE OLSEN.
Mr.. Greenwood Thinks He IS Not One
of His Nifa,S SlaYars.

Mr.. Greenwood Thinks He IS Not One
Of His Wife's Slayers.
Mr.. Greenwood, whose wife was so
foully murdered few months ago by
two unknown men, near Napa, came to
the city yesterday to see # he could
identity the man under arrest here on
suspicion of being one of the murderers.
The prisoner was taken out of his cell
into the prison-yard. where Mr.. Green
wood had a good view of him. After
the inspection he said the man more
closely resembled one of the murderers
than any person heretofore arrested on
suspicion, but he, Greenwood, was not
prepared TO say that he was one of those
who committed the crime-indeed, he
was rather of the opinion to the contrary.
Mr.. Greenwood informed Captain Lee
that he would send Sheriff Mckenzie of
Napa up here after the prisoner, Olsen,
to give some persons in that place who
saw and conversed with the two muir
dererS on the day of the crime an oppor-
tunity to examine him.
Olsen is a young, stoutlybuilt man of
medium height. He has a fair complex
ion, hair and moustache, and speaks with
foreign-Danish or SwediSh-accent.
He is rather heavy featured, with square
jaws. When led out of his cell yester-
| day he was nervous, wore downcast
! look, and seemed to be of soft and
| timid nature. This, however, might
| have been due to the fact that he is yet i'll.

volume of such business for January.
All security extended by the Govern
ment to the regular mails is given to the
