SACRAMENTO CLIMATE.
Someone Misinformed an Eastern Ed
itor About 1t.
What the Records Show-Cooi In Sum-
mer, Compared to Other In
terror Places.

The editor Of the Bolair, Md, Democrat
was member of the National Editorial
excursion party that recently visited the
coast, and in an article reviewing the
trip through California he says:
California is the proud possessor of larger
trees, longer trrigating canals. better hotels
and a greater variety OF climate than any
State in the Union.
This is all correct enough, but in an
other paragraph he says:
Sacramento is the possessor of handsome
buildings, is the State Capital and enjoys the
reputation OF being the warmest place on the
Pacific Coast The adjoining country is
liberal producer of hops, O crop of great profit.
Mr.. Menke, one of the best of the hop farmers,
placed TO his credit last year from a two hum
dred-acre ranch near hundred thousand
dollars.
The editor has made one erroneous
statement, in crediting Sacramento with
being the warmeSt place on the Pacific
Coast. 1t is true the Eastern editors en-
countered a very hot spell while here
something hitherto almost unknown at
that time of the year; but it was not as
hot in Sacramento as it was in the south
ern counties at the same time.
The visitors were assured that it was
unusual and unreasonable, but their dis
comfort was so great that 1t was almost
impossible to make them believe that the
weather was not the kind we have to en-
dure most of the year.
II these same visitors could read the me-
neurological reports daily they would learn
that there have since been but few DAYS
as hot as those they encountered. In
this city yesterday the highest point
reached by the mercury was but 760, and
the figure for last year at the same date
was about the same. Indeed, Sacramento
does not usually have any very warm
weather until after the middle of July,
and even then it is many degrees cooler
than at any other interior point.
In regard to the climate of Sacramento
the Maryland editor must have obtained
his information-not from authentic data
but from hearsay i'll the southern part
of the State.
The highest temperature ever recorded
in Sacramento was in August Of last
year, when the mercury once reached
1912. But the records show that Los
Angeles has had it as hot as 112o, Spadra
1l5o, Newhall 1l00, Mammoth Tank 1902
and Fresno 1150. In the Sacramento
Valley Redding, Red Bluff and Chico
have records of 110o.
If the Eastern editors, who are now
undergoing their summer broiling, could
have such weather as we are now enjoy
ing, they would be happy. Lightweight
overcoats are quite comfortable of even
ings, and about the same quantity of bed
ding is required that answers for October
and November.

A GREAT WORK.
The Folsom Dam and the Natoma
Water Power.
Engineer Stilwell Speaks Enthusiastic-
ally of 1.-THE Company Ready
to Irrigate Lands.

L. B. Stilwell, Chief Engineer of the
Westinghouse electrical system, who
wentup to Folsom on Thursday with Fl. P.
LIvermore to examine the dam and water
power system there. returned on Satur-
day. He was very enthusiastic over what
he saw there, and declares that he knows
Of but two pieces of masonry in the world
to compare with the big dam. One of
these is the Liverpool dock system, and
the other the public works at Geneva.
As to the water-power, MIR. Stilwell
regards it as simply wonderful, being
equaled in very few places in the Union.
He says it is capable of supplying Sacra-
mento with electric power enough to turn
every wheel within the city.
Mr.. Livermore says his company will
soon be ready to contract with land
owners for irrigating their lands. AS
soon as water is engaged for twenty
thousand acres the company will at once
proceed to lrrigate the same, and then the
extension of its system all over the
county will rapidly follow.
Both Mr.. Stilwell and Mr.. Liver
more said that all that Sacramento City
has to do, in order to double its pOpula-
ton in few years, is to raise aud widen
uCI u6IouSHS akdlllSG lie TlN0rS, anu Ulon,
with her vast electric power system that
is to be introduced, and the irrigation Of
the farming and orchard lands, this
county and city will become the most
prosperous on the coast.
Nothing that can be done will, how
ever, avail the city if it does not at once
set about improving its levees, say these
gentlemen. The Sacramentan who i'm
AGNES that people in other parts of the
State do not understand the situation as
regards the condition of the rivers and
levees, is a victim Of delusion, and the
sooner the sensible and progressive por-
ton Of the taxpayers-those who have
interests at stake-rise and demand action
on the part OF the authorities, the better
it will be for them. Any official who
cannot grasp the situation, or who will
not admit the truth, should step aside
| and make room Tor some one who can
see beyond his nose.
| That the twenty thousand acres for
which irrigation contracts are re-
| quired-before the Nato1na Company
will feel justified in extending
its works-will be secured, there can
be little doubt. Without water
| the high plain lands lying between the
! foothills and the river bottoms are almost
worthless, except for grazing a few
months in the year. With water for irri-
! CATION these same lands can be made
! highly productive, far more so than the
| desert lands of the southern counties
which command such high values. OF
| course the owners will avail themselves
/ of the opportunity at hand.

put, he could credit $40 per day for extra
advantages of buildings and machinery
and his skill as an expert. That would
pay the interest at Topper cent. on Sl46,0
over average dairying. Mr.. Hall is ex-
perlmenting on safe plan, with the pros
pect OF finally reaching that point when
the Increase of his herd will permit.
wILLFUL IGNORANCE.
Yet the silurians of the plains and the
MlcawherS of the mountains are COM
menting every day on the old "fool and
his money soon parted" proverb. They
are the kind that won't go across the road
to visit an experimental station, nor take
an agricultural paper, because they don't
believe in book farming. They know
that farming don't pay, because all other
classes are combined against them. At
the same time they never think of using
their brains In way to make farming
pay, and willful ignorance is their great
est oppreSsor. In the meantime they
nurse their own misery, discourage
others, retard the development of the
country and are stumbling blocks in the
way of general prosperity.
Mr.. Halls money and Mr.. Wells skill
nave demonstrated that dairying can be
carried on profitably in the very hottest
climate of the interior valleys of Cali
fornia. The application Of these princi-
pies to
COOPERATIVE DAIRYING
Is what is needed where families of linn
tied means are settling small tracts of ir-
rlgated lands with view of making fruit
ranches. IL almost always takes more
than was expected to bring fruit trees into
bearing and support the family in the
meantime.
If, instead of planting the whole wenty
acres to fruit, twelve are thus planted and
the other eight put in alfalfa, SO as to keep
adozen COWS, dozen brood sows and
two hundred hens, the farmer who gives
1t careful attention can expect to make a
good living and pay interest on first cost
OF land while his trees are coming into
bearing. To do this the community must
run creamery embodying essentially
the features described in Mr.. Hall's estab-
Ishment. Building thoroughly pro-
tected against changes of temperature,
pure air and water, well-planned ration,
cream separator and modern appliances,

followed by cash trade, home comforts

cities the merchants and business men
were particularly pleased at Harrison's

is eminently fit to be at the head of the

free from financial and other surprises.

a Large Crowd in Attendance and @
Fine Programme.
Although the weather was cool enough
for overcoats and wraps, the open-air
concert at the Plaza last evening was
largely attended. The programme was
an excellent one, and met with hearty
manifestations of appreciation.
The fourth number, "a Scotch Medley"
was loudly encored, especially the i'm
itation OF Scottish bagpipes, which was
very effective, c. A. Neale assisting upon
the ''oboe," in itself a new and interest
ing feature OF the piece.
Number six, ''Potpourri from Father
land" was also loudly encored.
Number seven, "a Grand Fantastic"
from Bohemian Girl,' was perhaps
the most pleasing selection OF the evening,
although many others of the pieces were
strongly encored.
Number eight of the programme, as
published, The Concert Schottische,"
was omitted, and the Grand Finale of
American Airs" added TO by number
OF extracts from popular airs, was given
instead.
Altogether the entertainment was one
