He Ilade a rIistake

A couple of roughly dressed men saun-
tered into q kearny street saloon yester-
day and ordered drinks. The proprietor
thought he recognized the one who was
doing the treating as a notorious saloon
beat and he became positive of the
mans identity when he calmly filled his
class to the brim without deposting any
cash on the bar.
"I'll fix him. soliloquized the saloon
keeper. as he picked up siphon of soda
and motioned the bartender to do like
wise.
The men swallowed their liquor slowly
and seemed to enjoy the whole length of
the Jolt. The one who ordered the drinks
drew q dirty bandana handkerchief from
his pocket. wiped his mouth and laid
the rag on the bar. while his companion
attacked the lunch counter.
''Give it to himn' shouted the saloon
keeper, and two streams of fzzy water
struck the man at the bar and drenched
him from head to foot.
70 the surprise of the saloon men
neither of the visitors attempted to es.
cape. The man who tr ed sputtered
awhile and looked indignant. Then he
commenced to grin.
II reckon you thought / wasn't goin
ter pay fer the drinks" he remarked, as
ne calmly united the knots in the old
hano kerchef he had left on the bar, and
emptied out a handful of gold. "Th'
your money, he added, an now you
can pay me fer the damage. Don't dge
man by his o'es, podner."- San tI.--

COME TO CALIFORNIA

The Associated Press dispatches yester-
day told a story which affords food for
thought to every Californian as well as
the farmers of the east:
A special from Grand Forks, n. D..
saws that the farmers of the region of
Minnesota and North Dakota COMPRISING
the ten counties in the Red River valley
are gloomy over the prospects. \ week
ago their wheat promised the greatest
yield ever known in this section some
placing ii as high as forty bushels to the
acre. but it has rained four days the last
week and the weather has been cloudy and
is hot. Smut and rust have developed TO
an alarming degree. 1t is now feared that
thousands OF acres OF wheat are utterly
ruined.
The Red River valley is regarded as onr
of the best sections of the entire country
In which to raise wheat. Not only is the
soil fertile but the climatic conditions
eTs looked upon as about as near perfect
Tor wheat raising as they can be in an
eastern state. From the above dispatch
1t would appear that thetfarmers after
months of plowing and sowing are not 10
reap. In other words, they have nothing
to show for their labor. Their only hope
is to pull through the year somehow, and
try again.
This incident should be an object lesson
to all who think or even dream of coming
to California. 1t Is true that crop fail
ure is possible in California, but in every
instance it is through ignorance or care
lessness on the part of the rancher. The
draw back to farming in the east lies in
the conditions over which the farmer has
no control. In California he may prevent
scale on his orange trees, but in Dakota
he cannot prevent heavy rains, any more
than the Kansas or Texas rancho. can
