Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad.
vantage to the fritgrower Of being in early locality.
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure. The industrious orchardst of Capay Valley
may assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments OF the season. and that
acres OF this rich land when the in bearing,
will yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has agent
siding in the valley whose duty is to show the various
tracts to land seekers
-Four townstes have been laid in different points
in the valley, viz Esparto Cadenasso Gunda and
Rumsey Town lots may be purchased.at reason
able prices and on easy terms.
The enterprsng and Furnishing town of Esparto is
situated the lower end Of the valley, and $I25
worth Of substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine our-story brick hotel, large brick
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the Streets
besides extensive warehouses and residences
The town has postoflce, school-house and weekly
paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express Offices.
Postofces have ase been established at Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place. situated at the head of the
valley, is the present terminus of the railroad The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters well as andsee1ers.
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay VAL
ley may be thus concisely summed up:
soil of great fertility, yielding beautifully of every
crop
soil and climate which will Tipen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
climate perfectly adapted to the curing of rasns and
drying of fruit without the aid Of artificial evaporators

THE FIRST PADDLE-WaBEL BOA
Circumstances Under Which RobeI I
Fulton Built It.


1t was said of the boy Robert Fulton
that he was what might be called a dull
scholar, and once when chided by his
teacher for his inattention to his studies
he replied that his head was so full of Or
| iginal notions that there was no vacant
place to store away the contents Of dusty
books.
One of the neighbors of his father. one
Denter Grumpp, was very fond of fish
Ing, and he had built for this purpose a
fiat-bottomed boat or scow, and he used
/ to avail himself of the labors of his son
Christopher and his neighbours son Rob
ert to AID him in his pursuit, by getting
! them to pole the boat over the waters of
the Conestoga, while he fish-poled the
perch and the bass into the boat. As we'll
may be Imagined this was not much
amusement for the boys, but one of them
/ put on his thinking-cap as he pushed his
way along, and, as usual, pushing and
| thinking won in the end.
firing OF pole-pushing, Robert Fulton
concluded that he would go over the hills
! and make his aunt a visit of week or so,
and 1t was in the garnet OF this aunrs
/ house that he built a small model of Den
| ter Grumpp's fiat-boat, to which he
] planned and arranged a pair of paddle
! wheels on q cross shaft, having on it
! hand -cranks. Coming back home he
contided to his chum Christopher his in
ventIon and, securing his aid, they to-
gether rugged up paddle-shatt with
wheels and cranks for the fiat-boat OF the
/ elder Grumpp. This was so arranged
that the whole machinery could be lifted
Oft and taken to a place of safety while
not in use.
1t was not long before the elder Grumpp
had, as many another since has had, a
longing to try his luck again on the
waters of the ConeStoga. and he sum
moned the before-time reluctant boys TO
help him out What his surprise was,
we perhaps can imagine, as he looked
| back from the boat and saw the two boys
struggling down the river bank with a
/ queer-looking conglomeration of iron
and wood i'll the shape Of cranks and
wheels: on their shoulders, and just how
the boys chuckled together as they saw
the surprise in the staid Old Dutchman's
face we can also imagine. However,
after suppressed giggling, they hung the
shaft in its place, and the wheels over the
side, taking their places at the franks.
and then and there started tie first pad

The sense of the conference was that
unfriendly legislation to the Chinese

the grand lack of enthusiasm. Even the

Mr.. Wanser attempted to make a

JEALOUSY AND GORE.
Probable Murder on a Canal Boat
Fickle Widow the Cause.

John Smith, watchman on the steamer
Canonicus, lying at South Cove. became
involved in a quarrel with George Creech,
alias Nick, at about ten O'Clock last night
which will probably cost him his life.
During the evening Smith paid visit
to Mrs. Mann, a verv pretty widow, on
board the canal boat Oliver A. Payne, at
South Cove. Creech came aboard the
boat while Smith was there and objected
In strong terms to his attentions to Mrs.
Mann. An alteration ensued, which
ended in struggle between the two
men.
Upon seeing that he was getting the
worst OF it, Creech seized an axe and
struck Smith heavy blow on the side of
the head. Smith fell as though dead. and
with fear OF having killed his antagonist.
Creech escaped.
Roundsman F. Connolly heard of the
affair while on duty shortly afterwards,
and going on board the boat found Smith
lying unconscious on the floor. An am
bulance was called and the wounded man
was sent to the City Hospital, where he
lies unconscious from concussion of the
brain. The doctors say he cannot re-
cover.
An alarm was sent out late last night
for the arrest OF Creech, but he Is still at
large.
Creech was employed by Mrs. Mann
last summer. He had paid Mrs. Mann
considerable attention and so had Smith.
The latter was received with more favor
apparently, and the result was that
Creech became insanely jealous.
This is the story of Mrs. Mann, who says
that Creech had wife and family in
Troy, N. Y, where he killed negro
some years ago.
