culiar Will

SAN BERNARpINo, Jan. 6.-The San
Bernardino creamery proposes to put its
butter on the home market, 10 the extent
that the entire output shall be sold in San
Bernardno, and is devising means to &C.
complish this result.
The first annual meeting of the stock
holders in the creamery association was
} cid this morning, for the election of Off
GERS and the transaction of other business,
and among the most important of these
items was the resolution with reference
to the sale of the butter in the home mar
ket.
The directors we're instructed to make
definite arrangements with local grocers,
and if matters could not be satisfacto rily
adjusted, then the directors are author
lied to put a butter wagon on the road,
and sell butter directly to the consumers.
The creamery people are in earnest in his
proposition. They m aintan tina, butter is
shipped into town from other places, and
money paid out for it, when the butter is
certainly no better than that which can be
manufactured at the creamery, and in that
case they feel that the home institution
should be given the preference.
The outcome of the war will be watched
with interest. If the groceis refuse to
take the entire product, then an out and
out butter war must be the inevitable re-
suit in which event the commodity may
be slightly cheapened until peace is de-
clared.
The stockholders reelected the directors
who had served since the association was
formed. and the directors organized by
electipg A. S. Davidson. presidenf, J Ohm
E. Light. secretary, and the Farmers Ex-
change bank, treasurer.

This is the last will of me, Robert Haynes
Pile.

my executrix.
I direct that my executrix shall not be re-
Quired TO give bonds.

executrix.

PEAsE GETS THE PLACE.
S. A. Pease of Ontari was elected horti-
cultural commissioner today by the board
of supervisors, and at the same time a res
olution was adopted confirming tine former
action with reference to a one man COM
mission.
The board has taken several precaution-
airy moves and one of these assures Pease's
reten ion in office, even though a commits
sion consisting of three members should he
forced on the board. Mr.. Pease was elected
to fill out the unexpired term of Commits
sioner Collins. whose resignation was ac-
cepted week ago. There remains one
year of Mr.. Collins term, SO the selection
of Mr.. Pease for that place not only in
sures his holding the position whether the
board consists of one man or three, but it
also gives The board of supervision an OPP
pOrtunily to make an experiment of a one
man commission.
But there il some doubt and good deal
of questioning as to the action of the board.
By electing Pease to fill a vacancy the
board seemed to realize the existence of
the old board, regardless of the resolution
adopted.
If there is a suspicion that the former
board is in existence, Cnmmissiontr Mus
colt holds until his successor is cleo ed,
under a general principle of law, while the
status of DR.. Pierson Is yet to be deter
mined. Altogether some interesting COM
plications are promised.
BROKE A RECORD.
Clyde King smashed all bicycle records
between this city and Riverside yesterday,
making the run of 2 miles in 80 minutes,
and going without a pace maker. The
roads are in very bad condition, and the
time is therefore more remarkable.
The best record previously m de was in
the neiRhborhood of so minutes. Three
weeks ago two Riverside riders succeeded
in making the run on tandem in 3S min
utes, but King equaled their time Oh his
own machine.
