with the San Francisco Savings Union
for 5000 a;res of land at Rialto has evil
IDENTIFY secured some claim to the ground,
or they are investing some money at a
venture.
When it was announced week ago
that the actual work of cultivation had
begun. soms people about town shook
their heads knowingly and said it must
be a mistake; that the Chicago syndi-
cate, represented by ]. II. Carruthers
hau no title whatever to the land, and
that they would not begin to cultivate it
until the title had been passed to them.
Be that as it may the fact romans
that men and teams are plowing and
narrowing the wild lands aboont Rialto
which are included in the proposed pur-
chase, and which have not been dis
turbed since wheat and barley was har-
vested there by the early Mormon set
.lers many years ago, and somebody is
furnishing the money which is paying
for all this work.
People about Rialto have become con.
WINGED that the Chicago people have
some sort of deal with the San Fran
cisco Savings Union, and have not taken
the public into their onfidence. 1t is
known that Carruthers has made several
trips to San Francisco. and though moth
ing may have been put on record, it is
now considered mare than proba Bile that
a contract of some sort has been nego-
tiated and the purchase of the land is
assured, if not aleady consumm ated.
When Carurthers went east ten days ago
he lett word that he would return to
Southern California about October 18th,
and when he comes definite information
may be given out.
THE ROWELL IMBROGL1O.
The notes given for $1,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively purportng to have been
signed by Sarah G. Hinokley, payable to
Josephine Hinckley, and which figured
so prominently in the discussion of the
difficulties in which e. E. Rowell has
been involved, will really be of small i'm
portance so far as the settlement of the
claim between the Hinckleys is concern
ed. and ii the notes are forgeries it will
not devolve upon Josephine Hinckley to
prove it.
1t will be rememb ered that E. E. Row.
ell, as attorney for Sarah G. Hinckley,
made settlement with E. r. Anna BILE,
which the latter's claim of $4,000 was
liquidated. Rowell paid Annable $1,000
in cash, and gave him two notes bearing
the signature of Sarah G. Hinckley, one
for $1,000 and one for $4,000. 1t is these
notes which have now been presented for
collection and the signature to which
has been pronounced a forgery by Mrs.
Hinckley.
She claims that she gave Rowell $4,000
in cash with which to pay the claim,
an of course refuses to have anything to
do with them. But that will not alter the
fact that the claim must be paid. Attor-
ney Annable says his client Will simply
stand on the ground that neither she nor
any authorized agent received the money,
and if the notes are forgeries it amounts
to nothing. The money must be paid. II
there IS any question as to the notes, or
what became of the $4,000. it is a matter
between Mrs. Sararh G. Hinckley and
her attorney.
AT THE CREAMERY.
The first "clean up" at tho creamery
was made yesterday. and the people who
have been selling milk are today receiv-
ing their checks in payment.
TIE milk has tested little better than
4 per cent, which was the basis originally
taken. On that basis so cents for 100
pounds was to have been paid. The re-
suits show that 81 per 100 POUNDS can be
paid, or 81 cents per gallon.
opened about 1400 pounds of milk has
been brought in each day. The manage
ment has announced that during the
next month this will be increa sed to
from 1000 to $500 pounds, and when this
amount of milk is handled it is claimed
that not only will expenses be paid but a
little will be left for stockholders. They
say it is not the expectation that the
plant will begin to pay any dividend un-
til it has been running three months.
The butter is of excellent quality ana is
in goodfd demand at 271a cents per pound.
Indeed, the demand exceeds the supply,
which enables that figure, which is above
market quotations, to ne OBJ tanned. The
recei pts from butter sold during the last
seventeen days is sufficient to pay all
demands of milkmen today.
NOTES OF THE DAY.

Fiesta expenses shows that there is de-
felt of 81, 1856. 81. This will necssitate an
