with recent statements. where the saving
has been made. 1t is sufficient at present
o know that the thing has been DONE
G0sIiHg
Our readers need not wait for the pubIi-
-atiOn of the annual statement as we have
been reliably informed that the saving of
$1,000 was made in the purchase of bull.
The prize Jersey bull at the Worlds Fair
was recently sold for S6,O75. Steward
Hughes, short time ago, took a notion
that the county ought to own a bull and
about the same time Poor Director Jones
concluded that he had bull that he would

have the benefit of his services. There
was good deal of dickering about the
price bat Steward Hughes was watching
the interests of the people, while Director
Jones was (unknOwn to Steward Hughes)
doing the same thing, and between them
they saved the county about 5000 on the
regular price of thorObred stock No pedi-

with the snow manteled peaks of the Sier-
ras upon the one hand, the calm Pacific
with its soft breezes upon the other, and a
Variable paradise of flowers. fruits. and
plants between, man can find ard needs no
lovelier land. To visit such a country is a
privilege, "a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company re-
cognizing the need of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent
tnaugurated a series of annual tours to
California, running through train of
Pullman palace cars from New York TO
the Pacific coast, and stopping at the
principal points of interest en- route. The
great popularity of these tours demon
strates the wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1897 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York. Phila-
delphia an Pittsburg. January 9th, Feb
ruary 24th and March 27th.
The first tour will run direct to San
Diego via st. Louis and the Santa Fe
Route, and return from San Francisco via
Salt Lake City. Denver and Chicago, al
lowing five weeks in California.
The second tour will run via Mammoth
Cave and New Orleans to San Diego, stop
ping at the Crescent City during the
Mardi GraS Carnival. This tour will re-
turn via Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha
and Chicago, allowing four weeks in Cali
fornia.
The third tour will run via Chicago,
Denver and Salt Lake City, allowing pas
Sengers to return by regular trains via off
ferent routes within nine months.
All of these tours, either going or re-
turning, will pass through the famous
Colorado region, GlenwOod Springs, Lead
willie and the Garden of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the PennSyl-
vania railroad system east of Pitts5urg:
