sacramento,s State Fair ExhibIt,

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: The Supervisors
for this county have made an appropria-
ton Of public money for a county ex-
hibit at the State Fair.
1t seems to me the Supervisors ought
to make public by resolution that this
coming exhibit will not compete for the
first county premium offered by the State
Agricultural Society. | know last year
there was much dissatisfaction in other
counties over Sacramento County being
entered for the first premium. Three
years ago Sacramento County competed
for and received the first premium, and
1t was then generally understood this
county would not again, for some time at
least, enter into competition with other
counties at the State Fair.
SO, when this county was entered last
year for the first premium, the neighbor-
ing county exhibitors had right TO con-
slider it was a hoggish practice on the
part of Sacramento County. 1t should be
borne in mind that this county was tho
only one that had received an appropria-
ton of public money for an exhibit. All
other county exhibits were individual
efforts
Sacramento City and county receives
large share of the benefit of the State
Fair, and it is an easy matter for this
county to make an exhibit as compared
with counties which have to ship their
exhibit here. Il. A. EASToN.

RED BLUFF TO YUMA.
Comparative Temperature and /
midity for the Month of .TuIy.

Comparative Temperature and HUI
midity for the Month of July.
The following data is from the Weather
Bureau Stations for July in the Sacra-
mento Valley and the San joaquin Val
ley. By way of comforting the two ex-
tremes there has been added Yuma, Ari-
zona:
Highest temperature at Red Bluff, 1862;
numb Der Of days above 1902, ten.
Highest temperature at Sacramento,
lO31; number of days above 1902, one.
Highest temperature at Fresno, 1852;
number of days above 1902, fourteen.
Highest temperature at Yuma, 1902;
number of days above 1902, twenty
eight.
The lowest temperatures for July were:
For Red Bluff 560, Sacramento so, Fresno
54o and Yuma 70o.
The mean humidity or moisture con-
tanned in the air was: At Red Bluff 30 per
cent. of complete saturation, Sacramento
% per cent, Fresno 33 per cent. and Yuma
81 per cent.
1t will be seen that Red Bluff and
Fresno have the same, while Yuma has
nearly as much moisture as Sacramento.
The above records put Sacramento in
good light, as far as GOODNESS and dryness
is concerned, but not as dry as Fresno and
Red Bluff.

Thomas Duhite, the man arrested here
the other day for stealing wagon-Ioad of
fowls somewhere in the country near the
city, admits that the birds were stolen.
but he declines to tell in what locality the
theft was committed.
Strange to say, notwithstanding all the
publicity given the transaction, no one
has come forward to claim the fowls.
which are apparently all of choice breed
ing.
The probability is that they were not
stolen on the night preceding the day
they were brought here, but that they
were gathered in many days before. 1t is
not unlikely that they are a portion of
those stolen from George Duden or Geo.
Rich, near the Lake House, on the night
OF July 30th.
There is little doubt that Duhite and his
mysterious partner had place some
where III the foothills where they con-
Quoted Chicken ranch" and where all
their fowls stolen on their midnight raids

to market from time to time
1t would be an interesting discovery for

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 100 and 800 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated by the pay
ment of interest only for three years at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paving the first Of five equal an
nual installments Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual instalments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
making payments extending over q period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that rood
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at SEQ
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandTy.

Chief of Police Rodgers was informed

Miller. the unfortunate inehriate, with
liquor, although every other dealer in

There is law making it a serious Of

to common drunkard, and if anyone
down that way is violating the law Chief
Rodgers should arrest and prosecute
them.
Any person,who wouldlsupply a woman
like Mrs. Miller with liquor deserves the
severest punishment the law will allow.
The woman has little babe which is suf-

of the necessaries of life: and Just as GER
tain as the woman pursues her present
course the child will be murdered, for its

The Journal is the official school publi-

of the public school department. By
law the 3,074 school districts of the State
are compelled TO each take a copy at

Making Car Wheels.

An unusual method of making wheels
for cars has recently been brought before
railway men. Wherever it is desired to
have reliable wheels steel ties are almost
universally used, with paper, wrought or
cast iron centers. Cast iron centers are
the cheapest form of any as regards first
cost, but it is rather difficult to form a
good connection between the tire and the
center. In the new method Of manu-
tacture a stock OF tires is made up COM
plete. The molds for the center of the
wheel are then cut up, leaving space for
placing the tire in the mold so as to form
d part of it. The mold is next opened
and the tire. heated to a red heat, is
placed in position. The mold is then
closed and the molten metal for the center
Immediately poured in. The result is
said to be a practically perfect union,
forming solid wheel which has the ad-
vantage of a durable steel rim and cheap
body.
