it snapped. She tried it again, this time

FAVORABLE CRoP REPORTS.

Along with the return OF the good
times, the raising OF wages In the
factories and the opening OF mills
that have long been closed, comes
the joyful news that the Western
crops will be unusually large. Resi-
dents of Kansas, Iowa and other
western states, who have visited the
CALIFORNIAN sanctum the past week
confirm the press reports and are
enthusiastic over the prospect. Re-
ports from the northwest on the
wheat crop are not as goou as from
the central belt which is given up to
oats and corn. All reports, how
ever, agree that our corn crop will
exceed all previous years and the
yield will exceed 2,00O,000,0O0
bushels. As corn is worth nearly. 80
cents a bushel to the dealer, this
crop will add about one billion dol
lars to our country's wealth.
Our western railroads have already
begun to reap the benefits OF the
crop prospects and the value OF their
stocks has advanced several dollars
a share the past two weeks and will
doubtless rise higher as the crop is
moved eastward. Both the western
farmer and the granger" railroads
have felt the hard times of the past
two years and nobody will begrudge
them all the returns they can get
from the great crops of 1895.
