OLIVES AND ORANGES.
Raised in Northern as Well as in
Southern California.

When one recognizes the fact that
olives can be grown protitably from
Mount Shasta to San Diego, on lands
that are now used for sheep ranges,
and that can be had per acre for a $5
gold piece; when we note that large
portion Of the European emigrants
are OF the Latin races, bringing with
them their tastes and habits, and
transmitting the same to their chill
dren; when we know, as we do now,
that ever since civilization began to
make headWay, and perhaps before
that, olives and their products was
largely the food supply Of nearly all
the children Of the Orient, as it is des-
tined to be in the near future that of
the Occident, with such prospects for
market for olives and their products,
there does not seem to be an immedi-
ate likelihood of OVERRIDING the olive
culture in our state. Thirty years ago
tomatoes We're looked upon with SuS-
picion. Now more are consumed than
any other vegetab bic, except potatoes.
1t will be the same with olives thirty
years hence. The great industries of
our Northern neighboring states Of
the Pacific coast are lumber and min.
ing, and to a great extent the foods
consumed by the men Of muscle and
Drawn engaged in such pursuits are
of the strongest character. Take a
man who works at those laborious pro-
fessions, feed him on bacon and beans
and suddenly present him in the early
part Of the winter with one of our
rich, juicy Porterville or Oroville or
anges, and note the avidity with
which he will accept it.
This taste and desire holds with all
the people of that section until their
vegetables are in the market, and be-
fore that happens our Central Califor
MIA oranges are gone, and they are big
consumers of the Southern California
product.
Last year California produced few
lemons. All told there were shipped
East 800 car loads, or 10000 boxes.
The United States imports 2,500,000
boxes. This fruit enters into every
part Of our life, from the culinary de-
partmeDt to the sick room, and from
the circus lemonade to the "long
drink over a f1rst-class bar. There
are some sections of our state that
produce a lemon equal to the best i'm
ported-notably Tulare county, Ven
tura county and about Ontario Los
Angeles county. The value Of the i'm
portation of lemons into the United
States last year, as made by the GUS
tom house, was upward of $4,000, 900,
and there is no reason why California
should not keep a large portion Of that
money at home by growing great
many more Of them than it does. AS
an evidence of their priftableness4 to
the grower in Tulare county, if he can
set 5 cents per dozen they will yield
him $500 per acre, and doubtless the
other favored localities mentioned can
show like results.--San francisco Call.

THE VALLEY OF SILENCE.

Out far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech,
And l have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And I have seen thoughts in the Val
ley
All, me! how my spirit was stirred
They wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be
heard;
They pass down the Valley like vir-
gins
Too pure for the touch of a word.
Do you ask me the place of this Val
ley,
To hearts that are narrowed with
care?
It lieth afar between mountains,
And God and His angels are there;
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of
Prayer. Father Ryan.

Good Rules.

Shut every door after you without
slamming it.
Never shout in the house.
Never call to persons up stalks OF in
the next room; it you wish to speak
to them, go to them.
Always be kind and polite to the
servants.
When told to do or not to do thing
by either parent, never object, but
obey cheerfully.
You may tell Of your faults and mis-
doings, but not of those of your broth
ers and sisters.
Carefully clean your shoes before en-
tering the house.
BE prompt at every meal hour.
Never sit down at the table or in the
parlor with soiled hands or disheveled
hair.
Never interrupt conversation.
Be equally polite at home and
abroad.
P. S.-When you observe all these
rules you will be little angel, instead
of little boy or girl.

This is the age of psychical research.

Within us is the power, sleeping.
once in awhile some sensitive soul has
1elt 1t stir, but there was no known
law that governed it, no logic with
which to convince others of it's being;
so 1t was buried deep in the inner con-
sclouness, where hide ideas that dare
not seek light, because they are in ad-
vance of their age.
Long ago, at the house of a friend,
saw q photograph of a mans head.
AS picked it up there came over me
sense of having known the original;
1t was the face Of a "friend!' When
my hostess entered I asked about the
photograph, and she told me who it
was. The name meant nothing to me,
put the face meant all things that I
knew. Several times in the next week
looked at the photograph, always
with the same sense of '*having
Known Then eight years elapsed,
during which no memory of that face
came to me. One day, at the theater,
there flashed over me that same curl
Gus sense of ''having known" In
stinctively I turned and caught full
the glance Of the original of the pho
tograph. What he was doing there
have never found out.
Several miles away from me lived a
! friend. Days would elapse without
our meeting, but if I sat down and
wrote her note she would come, al
ways crossing the note. 1 became so
certain about it after awhile that T
would write the note and tear it up.
The thought would stir in her the de-
sire to see me. There was no use in
mailing it.
The sight of a certain handwriting
would always make my heart sink; it
was something that I could not reason
myself out of, yet the letters were
pleasant and the words fair. One day
found out that my instinct was
right. l trust it now.

The Royal Baking Powder is the
purest and strongest baking powder
made, and has received the highest
award at all the great International
and State fairs wherever exhibited in
competition with others.
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1895-09-21

The grocer sends the new brand of
baking powder simply because it costs
him so much less and he can
make more profit by selling it than he
can on the Royal. The Royals made
from the very finest materials and
costs much more than any other brand,
which accounts for it's superiority, al
though it is sold to consumers at the
same price

Der OF cases were passed on account OF

lows: "Since last meeting of the COM
mission l inspected the Lula branch of
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail
road, from Lula to Jamestown. found
the tract of this road much improved
since the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
took charge of it. However, the people
OF Jamestown are DESTROYS that the
schedule of this road be changed, so as
to have the train from Lula to Jones'
town leave said place at $3.50 p. m,
thereby enabling people at Jamestown
to make the roudd trip to Memphis in a
day. | therefore recommend that the
commission cite the Yazoo & Missis-
sippi Valley Railroad Company to ap-
pear and show cause, il any it has, why
said change in said schedule should not
be made"

Tho right of the State of Mississippi
to select lands within the limits of
abandoned naval reservations within
her borders in satisfaction OF grant to
the State for the benefit of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi has been considered
In decision just rendered by Secretary
Hoke Smith. BY act of congress ap-
proved June 20, 1894, the State was
granted 23,040 acres to be selected out
OF the "unoccupied and uninhabited
lands Of the United States within the
State" by another act approved May
2, 1895, the naval reservation in Missis
sippi was restored to the public domain
with provision that SO much Of the
reservation as a was situated on Back
Bay, near Biloxi, should be disposed OF
under the town site law, and not as ag-
ricutural lands. Secretary Smith holds
that the State may select any Of the
land OF the abandoned reservations now
unoccupied and uninhabited, except
that named in the proviso. This latter
he considers has not really been fully
restored to the public domain, being re-
served especially for town site pur-
chases. lie argues that if the grant
passed this land it would also pass min
eral lands, although it has been repeat

working that would be profitable for
other counties TO follow. 1t has con.
tracted for the purchase of two of the
most approved road working machines.
The machines have been thoroughly
tested and will do all that is claimed
for them. They do the work of seventy
five or 100 men, and in much better
and more satisfactory manner than is
possible without a contrivance of their
character. The price paid for the two
machines is about $40, and it is be-
lieyed that they will far more than pay
for themselves in a years time. There
are 700 miles Of roads in Kinds county,
and it is estimated that in one year
they can all be put in good repair,
After this they will easily be kept in
good condition,
