ion was handed down by the Supreme

den (plaintff), respondent. VS.. A. G. Dietz

Opportunity Presented to
Owners of Land in
California.
Figures Submitted by Secretary
Smith of the State Beard
of Agriculture.
This Safe Cou,d Supply the Entire
Country and Reap a Golden
Harvest.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 1.-The an
culture was held to-day, with Directors
Boggs. De Long, Terry, Cox, MackeY,
Land and Chase present.
The annual report prepared by Secre-
tary Edwin +. Smith, under the directi on
OF the board, was submitted and adopted.
1t comprises about 10, 900 words and is in
teresting as well as Instructive in show
ing the possibilities in the extension. of
California's productive interests.
The principal subjects treated were
wheat-growing, meat products, dairying,
horse breeding. the sheep industry and
the growing of sugar beets. Much
space IS given to the latter SUBJ
ject, showing that California had suffi-
cient land that would produce twelve tons
OF beets to the acre, of Is per cent sugar
and 80 per cent tineness, TO supply the en-
tire United States, and calling the atten-
ton of the farming com munity to the
Sl25, ,000, ,000'sent out of this country every
year for this necessary food product-a
sum they should receive for the produc-
ton of sugar.
The wheat crop for 1896 is placed at
%, 655, ia bushels, exceeding that of 1895
by 100000 busheles. The price at the
close of 1896 was 81 5215 per GENITAL at tide
water, as against oS cents i'll 1894 and
81 OH in 1895.
The causes for the raise were the de-
creased yield in Russia, Australia and
India. which countries must now look to
the United States for this important
article of food. 1t was shown that Cali
fornia, by reason of its location, was
the first to receive the benefits of
the advanced prices and the crop of 1885,
together with the stock on hand, was
speedily exhausted. Regret was expressed
that large portion of the wheat had lett
the farmers hands before the advance in
prices.
1t is believed by the board that the
raising of wheat from this time on offers
special inducements to the soil " orkers.
The prices OF the past few years have not
encouraged extension ana lands have
been put to other uses, while inventions
have greatly reduced the cost of harvest
ing.
TIis condition will for the next few
years be most bene eficial, as lands that
have been used for other cereals will now,
when returned to wheat prod uction, yield
some of the old time crops that will bring
handsome returns under prospective
prices.

The licenses issued by the city
all expired last night, having
been taken out to that time in
anticipation of the going into
effect of the new law. No re-
newals were applied for, and
nothing more will be done until
a case can be arranged that will
decide what the law is.
There many allied questions
coming up for determination,
among them the status of nickle-
in-the-slot-m machines. The city
has not required licenses of
machines in which the play is for
cigars. Those where money is
played for undoubtedly come
under the new law, and probably
the others also. Then there are
the solo and other games played
for the drinks. The status of
these is a matter upon which
opinion differs widely.
The law prohibits the playing
of any game of faro, monte, roul-
cite, lansquenet, rouge etncir,
rondo, or any game played with
cards, dice, or any other device,
for money, checks, credit, or any
other representative of value, and
renders the player and owner or
lessee of the building in which
the game is played liable to a
fine of not less than 5000 or i'm
prisonmant in the county Jail CT
not less than four months.
The law also provides that any
one winning or acquiring to him
self or another any sum of money
or anything of value or represen-
tative of value is guilty of a mis-,
demeanor.

The great piece of tariff legis-

that our manufacturers suffer be-
cause the markets for manufac-
tured goods have been captured
by the manufacturers of Europe,
when, as a matter of fact, they
suffer because the markets have
dried up, can, therefore, profit
our manufacturers nothing. Its
enactment into law cannot bring
them the longed-for prosperity.
for prosperity can only follow an
increased and sustained demand

culturists, getting more money

will have more to spend. And
our farmers and planters never
will get more money, save as the
result of abnormal conditions, so
long as they are obliged to com
pete in the European markets,
where they must dispose of their
surplus products, with competi
tors enjoying a bounty on ex-
ports to gold-using Europe, in
the shape of premium on gold,
bounty equal to the divergence
in value of gold and silver.

A few months ago a wealthy
Baltimore lady of fashion became
quite prominent because she kept
a couple Of young pigs about the
house, and dressed them and
cllddled them and put them to
bed with the same care that a
mother would her own child.
Only few weeks ago the female
portion of the upper crust mon
eyed element of New York gave
a dog banquet at a cost of sever
al thousand dollars, and in all
the splendor of wealth and fash
ion, and dogs were the guests.
The latest thing, however, in
hog and dog social events among
the millionaires is a dog we'd
ding that recently took place at
Paris in tie palace of Nine
Ephrussi, the married daughter
of Baron Alphonse Rothschild.
The band played the wedding
march, the marriage ceremony
was performed by dogs, and a
diamond wedding ring was given
the dog bride, and all the guests
and dogs sat down to a sumptu-
Gus banquet at the same table.
And all the while that these
thousands of dollars of wealth
were being squandered on hogs
and dog banquets and dog we'd
dings, human beings-women
and children-were starving
right in the very cities where
these denominations were taking
place. If the fate of Sodom and
Gomorrah does not overtake
some of our modern cities it will
not be because they have negl-
ected to tempt the wrath of the
Almighty.

Boise Statesman, May 9Th: At
IL O'Clock last night the games
closed in all the places where
gambling has been carried on in
this city. That was the hour
when the law of the last session
prohibiting gambling went into
effect.
There is question about the
applicability of the anti-gamb-
ling law to this city, as we oper-
ate under a special charter one
section of which gives the city
authority to regulate and re-
strain" to license and tax" sa-
looms, billiard tables, ETC., and
gaming and gambling houses"
1t is held by some good lawyers
that this provision of the char
ter, which was Incorporated in
the amendatory act of the last
session, suspends the general
law against gambling so far as
this city is concerned.
The men engaged in gambling,
however, after a careful survey
of the situation, determined not
to attempt to proceed until a de-
cision could be reached on the
point involved. They consulted
District Attorney Hays and were
informed by that official that he
would consider it his duty to
prosecute all cases brought to
his attention.
This would involve continued
arrests until a decision could be
reached, and il the case should
be decided against them the
gamblers would have to pay the
accumulated fines,
