PLACER'S CLIMATE.
Newcastle's First Steps in Orange
Culture.

The mountainous section is covered with
snow during the winter, but in the foothill
region, where the altitude ranges from 200
to 20O0 feet, there is an almost wlnterless
climate. The temperature 10 this most
favored region seldom falls below freezing
point, and, except in low places, is free
from damaging frosts. In the winter, when
the inhabitants of the Eastern States are
shivering within doors. the busy farmer of
Placer is comfortably engaged in preparing
for the next seasons harvest. Rains are
the only interruption to labor, as the cold
is never so intense as 10 make out-of-d oors

DRUGS Go UNDER.
The Richards Drug Com=
pany Suspends.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT THE CAUSE
Liabilities Are Placed at SOS, 900,
but the Creditors viii
Be Paid.

Quite ripple was caused in commercial
circles yesterday by the report that we'll
known firm, the Richards Drug Company,
had been forced to suspend business.
The company was established about two
years ago as wholesale and retail drug
firm, in succession to C. F. Richards. who
had carried on the same business at the
same spot for twenty eight years. Mr..
Richards held the bulk of the stock in the
new concern, among the other incorporators
being S. Middlemas (secre,ary), Paul Lohse
and C. Carpy.
NJ. L. Ogburn, the manager of the con-
Germ, resigned about the first of the year.
The failure is attributed chiefly to the
effort to carry on too large business with
an insufficient capital.
1t is stated that the failure Of the
Richards Company will have no effect on
the drug war now In progress.
Leon Guggenheim of the firm of Mack 81
Co. was appointed 10 take charge of the al
fairs OF the defGnct firm for the benefit OF
all the creditors. He said the liabilities
would amount to between $4,000 and $685.
geo. with assets placed somewhere in the
neigh borho0d Of S75. 600. All the creditors,
he claimed, would be paid in full, but the
stockholders of the concern would realize
very little, and most likely nothing at ali.
Lie OIOCktT-N OOlWOItH NdtlODhl Dirk
was the heaviest creditor, being involved to
the extent of somewhere pear $4,000. for
which amount they are said to have very
little security. Mack Il Co. are creditors TO
the extent OF about 5000, and numerous
local and Eastern firms come in for the
balance.
1.-THE managers OF the ruined company
acted very honestly In the matter" said
Mr. Guggenheim. "They could have
struggled along for considerable tine yet,
but business was so dull with them that
they would have sunk deeper in the mire.
and they deemed it best for their creditors
as well as themselves to have satisfactory
settlement before 1t became too late"
Mayor Ebert was interviewed by a re-
porter last night with reference to the failure,
and said: THE only thing l can say is that
