MODESTO.

The city of Modesto and county of
Stanislaus have been important factors in
the history OF the State. Stanislaus
County has a trinity of rivers, the Tuolumne,
the San Joaquin and the Stanislaus. There
are two great irrigation projects partly
completed, the Modesto and Turlock.
There are at present legal difficulties in
the way of the completion of these sys-
TENS. But the people are hopeful that
soon the vast sections of land about Mo-
desto will be watered. In the meantime
the farmers keep right on producing
wheat In certain sections of the county,
however, attention is paid to diversified
farming, including Embarrassing. 1.-The
immediate remedy for hard times in the
San Joaquin Valley" says Professor E. W.
Hilgard, 'is diversity of crops, less atten-
ton to specialities, more to productions
that will supply the family, or find local
market"
To this end o. McHenry. the president
of the First National Bank, has planted
1900 trees-prunes, apricots and fgs-77,-
600 vines, and about 1000 acres in wheat
and corn. And over in Paradise gardens,

MERGED.

MERGED is one of the best-advertised
places in California. W. II. Mills, who
has had charge of the Croker estate in this
county, is not only shrewd but liberal
advertiser. The people have heard of the
splendid canals, the fertile soil, the rapid
growth and the adaptability of the irri-
gated soil of MERGED County for great di-
versity of products. 1t is all true. The
marvel is that honest settlers have not &C.
cepted by thousan DIS the advantages in
the colonies about MERGED. There are
grain ranches of 100000 acres in this
county, and water enough in the MERGED
River to irrigate the dry lands; There is
land and water enough for all. What IS
wanted is people who will use the land and
water MERGED County, through the popu-
lar and earnest work of Mr.. Wilson, won
the first prize for the best exhibit at the
Midwinter Fair.
The Croker Estate Company spends up
ward of 100000 per year in improving
and maintaining its lands. MERGED
fruit is becoming noted for it's fine flavor
and the figs from the ranch of J. A. Mac
kenzie command the highest price In the
market Mr. Mackenzie has an orchard OF
thirty acres planted with Smyrna figs,
prunes, appricots, pears and 400 orange
trees 1t is a model fruit farm and is a
good example of what can be done in Mer-
ced County. Wherever you locate in the
San Joaquin County you will find schools
and churches The schools of MERGED
rank high in this State. The present

THE SHIPS BARBER.
His Berth on Board of Man-of- War
Keeps Man Busy but
Pays Well.

"There's lots of money in the barbering
business on board of man-of-war," said a
blue jacket on whose cap was black band,
bearing in letters of gold the name of the
hoodoo ship, Olympia, and who was in a
barber-shop on Geary street yesterday,
waiting for his turn.
"How's that?" asked the man at the
second chair who works on commission,
and is always on the look out for an oppor-
tunity to do better.
'Why that's easy" answered the blue
Jacket. "Take the Olympia, the ship be-
long to, she's got 400 men on board, they
all get shaved and have to have their hair
cut"
''But how can man get iob?" asked
the man at the second chair. "He's got to
have pull, hasn't her'
''But YOU need not pull the hair out by
the roots" said the customer in the chair,
'it strikes me you've a pretty good pull
already"
cali you've got to do" responded the
blueiacket, sis to ship as landsman for
three years and be assigned to the barber
shop. Your pay from the Government
will be S36 month and you will rank as
petty officer. Then you'll get 81 so from
every man on the ship every three months.
That makes $3.50. Add TO that S3o
month, which is sos a quarter, and there
you have $55S quarter. That's not bad
for barber"
The man at the second chair, who was
making an up-stroke on the customers
face, almost cut off portion OF his ear
when he suddenly turned around to ask,
washing thrown imp"
mo, the barber gets another landsman
to wash the towels and other fxlns for $40
a month. but, I'll tell you what, the barber
has to hustle"
The man at the second chair. turning to
the one at the first chair, said: BOSS,

for ship-$166 a month at sea Is better
than SIS week on land"

pause and think. During the past
few years Fresno has followed the
advice of wise people and is now
producing wide diversity of crops, cereals
fruits and vegetables to consume and to
export. The railroad through Fresno is
lined with great warehouses, and at
seasons of the year are well filled. 1t is
the great diversity of crops that add
materially to the wealth of Fresno County.
A crop OF some kind is almost continually
ripening, and an income from some source
is always assured.
On the east side of the valley is the
noted Thermal belt that runs down to Por-
terville in Tulare County-a warm belt
that is adapted by nature for the growth
of oranges and lemons. This industry is
just becoming known in the district
Thousands of young trees have been
planted during the past few years, and the
culture of the lemon and the orange will
be both popular and profitable. Fresno
County ranks third in the production of
wheat, while cattle, sheep, swine and the
wool industry are important factors in its
industrial wealth.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains are COW
cred with an almost inexhaustible supply
of timber. This has led to the develop
ment of large lumber interests and as a re-
suit great fumes to carry the lumber from
the mountains to the valley have been
built. Planning mills, sash and blind fac
tories, sawmills and box factories have been
established, giving employment to hun
dreds of men.
The greatest industry, however, is the
culture OF the raisin grape. In single

MERGED City has a population of about

1t is well supplied with churches, stores,

now two railroads and is anxiously waiting
for two more, the San Francisco and San

the present mining DEVELOPMENT is now in

to bestow on new road it points with
pride that the Southern Pacific receipts at

reap it's share of any benefits that will
come from increased activity in the devel-
opment of the country.

A WOMAN HERMIT.
Her Only Companions Are Five Dogs
and Cow.

Her Only Companions Are Five Dogs
and Cow.
At Lookout Pass, on the Oniqui Range,
about $50 miles from Salt Lake City and
thirty miles from the nearest ranch, where
no one save stray miner ever passes her
cabin, lives Elizabeth Rockwell, widow of
Horace Rockwell, a brother of Porter Rock
well, who achieved fame in leading Brig
ham Young's band of Destroying Angels,
or Danites. Aunt Lib is the name by which
she is known. Her only companions are a
quintet of snarling cur dogs and lone
some COW. For nearly fifteen years the old
woman has lived there. She is extremely
averse to having any one inside her door,
refusing to furnish travellers with food and
charging them with the water their cattle
drink at the rate of 10 cents drink, says
the Saginaw Courier Herald. She is we'll
TODD, her husband having left her COM
Portable property.
One story told of her is that on one oc-
casion, when one of the pups was i'll, she
managed to get message to physician
living eighty miles away that he was
wanted at once. He came post-haste,
thinking that it was herself who was i'll,
and was so disguised when he learned that
he had been called to prescribe for the dog
that he charged her $500. For this.act he
never received ner forgiveness, aitHougH
she paid the bill.
About ten days ago Aunt Lib had an adj
venture which plainly demonstrated her
force of character to take care OF herself,
although about 70 years of age. The i'm
preston has prevailed that she has been
boarding money somewhere about her
cabin. Two would-be bandits endeavored
to force the secret of her treasure from her
about week ago, and the result is that
one was so badly wounded that it is ten
to one shot that be is now dead,
