lines.
There is also an oval-shaped area COW
ering the eastern half OF Wasco and west
ern half of Clackafnas counties in Oregon
That usually has a rainfall Of eight inches,
and a like amount generally falls in
aha and Nevada counties, and in the
northeast corner of Mendocino County,
Cal. In the interior Of San Diego County,
IN Southern California, there is a circular
area OF some fifteen miles in diameter
that usually has a March rainfall of from
eight to ten inches.
Along the Sierra Nevada range in
Northern California the precipitation
ranges from / to inches; in the Sacra-
nento and san joaquin valleys from 10
I inches, and usually less than an inch in.
Nevada and in the southeast portion OF
Northern California and northern and.

A Question OF CITIZENSHIP settled

First Deputy Attorney General Lay
son, in response to a query propounded
by the Chairman of the Republican City
Central Committee, gave the following
opinion:
I'm reply to your inquiry I have to
state that a son born in foreign country
Of alien parents, whose father dies before
coming to this country, whose mother
moves to California and marries citizen
Of this State and Nation while said son is
a minor, becomes citizen by virtue OF
the naturalization of his mother Sec
tons 2l72 and 1894, Revised Statutes of the
United States, are to be construed to-
gether. The fact that one assumes the
name of his stepfather is of no signifi-
canoe. He derives his citizenship

Of consultation regarding the matter OF

The Governor received his visitors with
warmth and cordially that assured
them they were welcome, and an exceed

sued, during which his excellency re-
TERED to the time when he earned his
living as wood-chopper, and had to ac-
cept very small wages at that.
de assured the members of the COM
mittee that he had not been unmindful
of the request made last year, to have
Labor Day declared q legal holiday, and
had concluded to do so this year. The
Governor talked freely on subjects OF
interest to laboring men, in the course OF
which he paid a neat compliment to the
Sacramento Federated Trades, which he
believed to be capable of accomplishing
much good for its members.
Before the committee retired they in
vited Governor Mark ham to visit the
Council of Federated Trades at an early
day and participate in its deliberations
on labor matters, and he promised to do
so after his return from Los Angeles.

GOVERNMENT FOOD TESTS.
The Royal Baking Powder Declared ST.
perior to All others.

The fact as to which is the best Baking
Powder in all respects, would seem to be
established beyond question by the Off
cial tests.
Prof. II. A. Mott, when employed by
the u. S. Government to analyze the vari-
Gus baking powders of the market TO de-
termine which was the best and most
economical, after an extended investiga-
ton reported in favor Of the Royal, and it
was adopted for Government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examina-
tons of baking powders, and af1irms il as
his deliberate Judgment, arrived at after
thorough research and a careful examine
ton Of the principal brands of the mar
ket, that the Royal is superior to every
other. Prot. Mott, in his report, says:
1.-The Royal Baking Powder is abso-
lutely pure, for l have so found it in
many tests made both for that company
and the u. $. Government.
Il Will go still further and state that.
because OF the facilities that company
have for obtaining perfectly pure cream
OF tartar, and for other reasons dependent
upon the proper proportions of the same,
and the method of its preparation, the
Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder
offered to the public.

Il.
The report goes on to say that IMAM
ayers OF any commercial enterprise are.
of course, justly entitled to all they can
honestly make, but building and loan
associations, unlike ordinary companies
are entirely mutual concerns, all partic-
ipants sharing in all benefits. 1t is here
that the nationals utterly fail; for
notwithstanding their pretentious an
nouncements, their calm TO be Coop
erative is entirely mythical Their
methods of advertising are misleading
and deceptive, for it is the custom to
cover their circulars with the names of
prominent and wealthy citizens who have
no connection whatever with the associa-
ton, but whose name ut once inspires
confidence in the unsuspecting investor.
The advertisement stating that they are
under the direct supervision of the Bank
Commissioners is
AN ILLEGIT4MATE WAY OF CATCHING
TRADE.
Some also use the words savings
banks in large and conspicuous letters,
which is public misrepresentation One
Of the unjust features of the nationals
seems to be that, through their advertise
ments and agents, they offer the public
great inducements for investments but
through the bylaws the withdrawing of
any funds is surrounded by so MANY de-
ductions that all who do not constantly
contribute for the period of seven wears
or longer are subject to great loss, and
these losses are mainly profits to the
managers, for the reason that probably
not over half the original subscribers can
or desire TO continue their payments for
so long period. The agents receive 81
or more for every share they get, and
they are consequently careless OF what
inducements they offer TO intending pur-
chasers, while the bylaws are seldom
seen or read by the confiding share
holders.

KING OF THE RUsTLERs.
Tom Riddle Is a College Graduate and a
Gentlemanly Stock Thief.

From the san Frnnrisc" Evening Post. I
Among the ruStlers of the present
day Tom Riddle stands pr--eminent.
Tom Riddle is not supposed TO be his
name, hut it is the name he goes 10y in
this country, the one he is known by
ami the only one he will answer to.
Tom Riddle comes nearer to realizing
the ideal picture OF the thief and des-
perado met in novels than any OF the
gang who have ever left the country
or died with their boots on. All of the
others have been, AMI are, dirty, i'll
favored and ill-mannered, and in
whom, to paraphrase Shakespeare,
the elements were so mingled as to
give the world assurance of n horse
thief.
In Riddle, however, the rule is re-
versed. He is said to be n graduate
OF AN eastern college. At any rate he
keeps a toothbrush and his shirts
changed occasionally. He is of fine
appearance, and Is, in short, typical
crook as we see them in yellow-backed

about him. He is like all other horse
thieves i'm his methods, doing his work
ut night and having his home in some
| secluded and unknown place of which
the vigilantes know nothing as yet.
About all that has been seen of him is

the Union Pacific road as the head oi

On all such occasions the gang gets
out of town as quickly as it came

made to bring herds to the track after
dark and as short a time before the
east-bound freight arrives as possible
| Usually there Is no time left for ascer

made it is not likely that it would re

They know from past experience

DELEGATES ELECTED.
The Anti-Hill Democrats of New Xork Hold
n Convention.

SYRACUSE, y. V, May 31.-The con
vention to protest against what has
been called the ''Snap" Democratic
state convention of last winter was
called to order in this city at noon to-
day by ex-Secretary Fairchild, who
was chairman OF the provisional state
committee. He introduced John ID.
Herman rs temporary chairman and
the latter delivered a strong speech,
in which an eulogy of Cleveland was
one of the chief points.
The platform as reported declares
for radical reforms in the administra-
ton of the federal government; charge
the Republican party with extrava-
gance, tyranny and fraud during the
past three years; reviews the charges
against officers in all departments OF
the government; denounces the Nc
Kinley tariff because enacted for the
oppression of the masses OF the peo-
Pile; opposes free coinage at the exist
ing ratio; declares that the usurpa-
ton of party control by committee
of the party is illegal and should be
overturned; retains unshaken conf
dence in Cleveland and his devotion
to public duty; pledges support to the
Chicago candidate; lnstructs TO vote
as a unit at Chicago according to the
decision of a majority of the delega-
ton.
The resolutions were received and
carried with burst of cheers.
Pease of Saratoga, a member of the
resolutions committee, presented as
supplementary to the platform the
following resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That this convention APP
prove, indorse and point with pride
to the administration OF Grover
Cleveland and we recommend him to
the Chicago convention for nomina-
ton and to the Democratic party and
patriotic people of the country for his
election again to the presidency.
Judge Sunderline of Schuyler county
read the list OF district delegates and
delegates at large chosen by districts
and by the commit tee on delegates to
the Chicago convention. The work of
the committee WAS approved, and
thus the question OF protest or con-
test has been determined and the
course of the contest and the demand
at Chicago for the seventy-two seats
seats of New York have Teen fixed
upon. The delegates at large will be
r. f. Coudert, OF New York; Alex. +
Orr, Brooklyn; Charles +. Bishop
Buffalo, and Edward Fitzgerald, ex
mayor OF Troy.
