Prof Moore's lecture Saturday even
i fOgic vacation f h0 ie dese llas b his
trip to southern California in quite
an interesting manner. He took the
Southern Pacific road. He gave a very
vivid description Of the arid plains
through New Mexico and Nevada, in
some parts Of which ii had not rained
for nearly two years. A ride of sixty
miles in southern California takes one
from the most arid desert and among
orange and lemon groves. California is
the land of surprises, Of fertile and arid
strips, and is geologically the newest
part of our country. He spoke Of the
Santa Anna wind as being very strong
and blowing sand through every chink
into the houses. His description OF his
seaside sojourn and his study Of corals
and anemones was very good. Cali
fornia is also the place where things are
done on large scales. You ride through
orange orchards till you think there is
nothing else in the state, and then you
viii have an hours drive through En-
glish walnuts, and so on through planta-
lions of figs, grapes, wheat and barley.
The professor extended his tour TO
Puget Sound in order TO take in the
beautiful scenery. there which is said TO
rival that Of the famous Lake Geneva
in Switzerland. He gave a description
Of the mountain peaks of the western
Cordilleras, one popularity Of which Is
that all are extinct volcanic cones. Also,
he tried 70 give US some idea of the size
OF California. If il We're put one end on
indianapolis the other would be near
New Orleans, or north of Lake Superior

Before adjournment last week the
board Of county commissioners entered
into contract with the Indiana trust
company Of Indianapolis for the sale OK
eighty thousand dollars worth Of coun-
ty bridge bonds, and more If II be nee
essary. The county, under the contract,
is to receive ST.. 600 and TO pay s per

ana trust company is 10 pay x4O0O0 20
the county treasurer on Oct. 3, $4,000
on Oct. Is and the remainder on the de-
mand Of the county treasurer. The COM
missioners have been aware for some
months that IL would be necessary 70
have this amount Of money, so they IN

to negotiate the sale wherever possible.
The banks Of this city were notified that
these bonds would be sold, the Vari-
Gus bond-buying establishments OF
New York. Chicago and other points
were communicated with. Last Deem
Der $780, 900 worth of county bonds were
disposed Of at 81, 900 premium to Farson,
Leech & Co. Of Chicago. and since that
time have changed ownership several
times. The fact that these bonds were
offered at a sacrifice week before last
to local capitalists did not tend TO i'm
prove the chances for selling the $4,000
bonds. The best bid received was the bid
Of the Indiana trust company, made by
Henry w. Marshall, wlo is a stockholder,
as above set forth. When the records
were about to be signed up a few citi-
zens, who were said to represent capital,
protested on the sale at a discount and
the board held off until the next day
that they might find place to put the
bonds. But at 9 o'clock the next morn
ing-the time appointed-these gentle
men did not show up with money and the
contract with the trust company was
duly signed up. 1t was necessary to have
the money at that time for Craven Smith

would be completed by oct. 5. and the
money must he here.-Delphi Times.
