Of English capitalists who have been
negotiating for the purchase of the
Chino ranch in southern California.
and q. Wilding, a prominent chartered
accountant OF London, arrived from
the southern part Of the state the other
day with Wendell Easton and George
Easton, who had been showing the two
visitors all over the Chino ranch, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
THE deal is about closed" said Mr..
Easton. THE owners. of the property
have agreed to sell and the English
syndicate has agreed to buy. Now all
that remains to be done is for the ac-
%countant to verify the figures Of the
chartered accountant whom we en-
ployed to make a report on the prop
erty. The terms Of the sale have been
agreed upon and the purchase price
Will be about 81, 200, 900. The original
terms agreed upon provided that one
fourth OF the purchase price be paid
cast down, and the balance in one, w
and three years. The syndicate Is
anxious, however, to pay the entire
mount right away. and according TO
present plans the entire 81, 1000, 600 will
be turned over before the 3Ist Of De
cember.
The Chino ranch is owned by Rich
ara Grid. but G. u. Philips has a bond
or purchase on the property which will
nave to be satisfied in the settlement.
The San Francisco Savings union also
mas a mortgage Of half a million dol
lars on the property. The Chino ranch
contains about 10000 acres. and is
situated in Chino valley, in southern
California. Some 1000 acres of the
property are devoted to beet culture,
and supply the big Chino beet factory
with nearly all the sugar beets con-
sumed there. The sugar works are
excluded from the improvements

more said that the syndicate which he
represented would form a corporation
Tor the handling of the property. The
idea Is to place the property under the
management of an English superin-

estimated that the ranch would sup

he tarried tell wonderful tales about
the healer and his white horse. II is
positively asserted that the horse will
not touch food or water except where
his master deigned to accept like hos
p!tal!ty. The appetizing alfalfa and
the cloanest, incest corn failed to tempt
the horse TO partake thereof az the

Peel, was to tell him that she was
sorry to have TO part with her late min
listers. of whose conduct she entirely
approved, but that she was bound to
constitutional usage"
The memorandum which she caused
Lord John Russell TO convey to Lord
Palmerston in 1850 shows that she
thoroughly understood her rights as
well as her obligations. Lord Palmer
ston had acquired a habit of dealing
with foreign courts according to what
seemed best TO him at the moment,
and his sovereign and his colleagues
often only knew of some important dis
patch or instruction when the thing
was done. and could not be convenient
ly or becomingly undone." a habit of
which the queen had several times
complained. Her majesty, in her
memorandum intimated in plain terms.
that she wished to know b~eforehar.O
what he proposed to do in a given col
that she might know as distinctly TO
what she had given her royal sanction.
she further intimated that having ono

as a failure in sincerity towards the
crown. justly to be visited by the exer-
else of her constitutional right of dis
missing that minHter.
Many anecdotes are told, showing
that though punctilioUs in matters of
ceremony and careful to exact the re-
spect due to her exalted position. she
is above all an honest, loving woman
OF simple refined tastes. Prior TO her
marriage the Archbishop of Canter-
bury asked her whether 1t would be
desirable to omit the word obey" from
the marriage service, and she an
swered: II wish to be married as a
woman, not as a queen"
To show how particular the queen
has been in the proper education of
her children. a sailor once. carried one
OF the queens daughters on board the
royal yacht. As he set her down on
the deck he said: There YOU are. my
little lady," The child, who had not
nked being carried, shook herself and
SAID: Il am not a little lady; I'm a
princess Her mother, who over
heard her daughters speech, said
quietly: You had better tell the kind
sailor who carried you that you are
not a little lady yet, though you hope
TO be one some day"
Another anecdote shows the frmness
OF both mother and daughter. Hearing
'heir father address the family physi-
clan as Brown" the children began TO
40 the same. The queen corrected
them, and all called him Mr.. or DR..
Brown except the Princess Royal. Her
majesty heard her. and said that II she
again did SO she would be sent to bed.
Next morning the wilful child said TO

men added, seeing her mothers ewes
on her, And good night. Brown.
ior am going to bed" And to bed she
accordingly went.
