Throughout the past session of the
California Legislature, the Record

published account of the proceedings of
both bodies. The reports have been
always full and complete. No journal
istic grand stand plays were attempted.
The paper rode no hobbies, had no par
ticular friends for whom it desired to
care and no particular enemies whom
it desired to annihilate and was there
fore at all times perfectly fair. It's ac-
count of the closing hours is in line with
all the rest of it's work 1t would in
deed be of great benefit to the State of
California if the blanket sheets of San

HANDSOME CANES.
Tlade From the Heart of the Beautiful
ManZanita Tree.

NJ. NJ. Harding, whose home is near
East Park. has presented to a member
of the Record Union" staff a beauti-
ful cane made from the heart of
manzanita tree, the prettiest wood that
grows on the Pacific slope In color It
outrivals the richest mahogany, and the
grain is as fine and close as that of
rosewood. and susceptible of the high
est polish.
Manzanita canes are by no means
rare, but they are mostly of the knarled
and twisted type that are made from
the small branches of the tree-or bush,
as it is generally classed. These
branches are dried and seasoned with
the soft velvety bark still on them, and
the bark is of a rich, ruby red, closely
resembling the color of the heart Of the
tree itself These branches are rarely
straight, and near the bark the wood is
light cOlored.
To find & manZanita tree large enough
to furnish a block which can be sawed
into strips which will have the rich.
dark red hue that makes the heart of a
manZanita so beautiful is not an easy
matter, and for this reason canes of
that description are as rare as they are
beautiful.
While spending the summer months
on the headWaterS of the South Fork
of the Costumes River, in Amador
County, Mr. Harding a few seasons ago
found a manzanfta tree in Clearbrook
Canyon, the age of which was esti-
mated at several hundred years, and
yet 1t was comparatively a small tree
He cut a log from the trunk and had
it dragged to the river, where it was
mOOred to the bank and left in the
water for six months. Then it was
wrapped in cloths and kept wet until he
reached home. Here it was sawed
into strips before being allowed to dry,
and these strips placed in a big vat of
oil to prevent them from checking or
cracking open.
After l. ing for a year in the oil they
were proof against the action of the at
mosphere and in condition to be made
into walking sticks. Recently he has
had these strips turned and polished
and the result is a half dozen canes of
the most beautiful wood imaginable.
Mr.. Harding will probably present
one of them to President Mckinley
and If SO the head-also of turned and
polished manzanita-will be studded
with gold nuggets to be supplied by S

matter was referred to Mr.. Curtis and
the board adjourned until April without
further order; that the board had no
idea things were so bad as they are;
that he has no road district control, but
that now he will champion the cause OF
