companied by mild display of thun-
der ahi lightning. The rainfall was
0.O1 Of an inch, being that much for
this season, as against a trace of rain
to an equal date last year.
This makes twice in twenty years
that an appreciable amount of pre-
cipitation has been measured in Au-
gus, and five times in a record of forty
eight years, reaching back to 1850.
The following shows the years in
which an appreciable amount was
measured, giving the amount and also
the total seasons rainfall, following the
Augusts which gave an appreciable
amount:

terday was Il degrees, being 26 de-
grees cooler than the dry thermometer
at the same hour.

at , p. m. was % per cent, as against
A per cent. on Wednesday at the same

even non-mineral, would unless set
aside and amended by direct proceed
ings, estop the Government from con-
tending TO the contrary, and as we have
already said, in the absence of fraud in
the offices Of the department would be
conclusive in subsequent proceedings
respecting the title"
In the case Of Courtwright VS.. The
Wisconsin Central Railroad Company,
10 L. D. 40, the Honorable Secretary
Of the Interior after referring to the de-
! cision of the Supreme Court in the case
Of Borden VS.. n. P. r. r. Co.. says:
I am therefore of the opinion that
the department has no jurisdiction to
determine the character of the land in
controversy after issuance of patent. If
/ it be true that the lands in question
contain minerals in paying quantities.
and that this fact was known to the Off
GERS or agents of the company at the
/ date of selection or date Of patent, and
they failed to make the fact known to
/ the department, such conduct was a
| fraud upon the Government and the
courts can grant relief"
! In the case Of the Butte and Bostah
| Mining Company, II L. d. 133, the Hon
| orable Secretary of the Interior says:
1 The Government should not attack
/ its own patents, duly and regularly is
sued. without a clear and convincing
showing that fraud was committed upon
it in procuring the issuance. Especially
! is this true where, as in this case, many
years have elapsed since the issuance of
patent"
As already stated, the petitioners do
not allege that these tracts of land were
known to be valuable for the mineral
| deposits contained therein at or prior
! to the issuance of patent to
the railroad company in 1876.
! but base their claim upon
/ locations made in 1891 and 1892, nor do
they allege any fraud on the part of the
company in obtaining the patent or up
on the part of the officers of the Gov
ernment in issuing it.
From the decisions of the courts and
Of the department herein cited it will
be seen that in the absence of fraud or
mistake if the mineral character of the
land be not known or established at or
prior to the issuance of patent the Gov
eminent will not attack it's patents duly
and regularly issued
I am accordingly of the opinion that
the showing made by petitioners in this
case does not warrant the institution of
a suit to vaeate the patent to the rail-
road company, and 1 respectfully rec
ommend that the petition of Gushing ct
al. be denied. Very respectfully,

RARE FRUITS FOR THE FAIR.

CAL PRODUCTS.
A horticultural Exhibit That Can
not Fail to be an Attract
i've Feature.

B. NJ. Lelong. Secretary of the State
Board of Horticulture. is busily en-
gagged in the work of preparing the
State horticultural display for the ~
Fair
Secretary Lelong proposes to make
the display, as far as possible. an ed
ucational one, and will make special
exhibits of tropical and other fruits,
which, until a few years ago, it was
thought could not be successfully
grown here, but which, he thinks, are
destined to become revenue producers
in the near future.
One Of the exhibits that Mr. Lelong
expects Will attract attention is a
bunch ef palm dates. grown in Santa
Barbara by c. F. Eaton The bunch
weighs about forty pounds, and the
fruit is rot over halfg grown at that.
The individual date greatly resembles
the olive, but the bunch. or cluster,
hangs as thick as tokay grapes.
Another of the tropical fruit exhi-
bits also furnished the Board of Hor-
tieulture by Mr.. Eaton, is the mango,
which grows in such abundance in the
South Sea islands. The fruit is a lit
tie larger than a hens egg, and when
ripe is Of a deep yellow color.
A cluster of St. Johns bread fruit.
grown by Mrs. r. r. Stevens of Mon
tecitO is another speciment of tropical
fruit which will attract attention. The
tree which produces the bread fruit is
a tropical species of locust. and the
leaves are similar to those of the To-
Gusts growing in this city, and the pod
is also similar though larger
There will also be a branch Of the
jujube and its fruit, which is the prin-
cipal article of food when made into
a paste, of the Hawaiian Islanders. The
plant takes readily in California soil
al is being cultivated with success.
Twelve varieties of tree citrons will
also be displayed The culture of this
fruit has already become an established
fact IN the State. The rind of the fruit
is largely used in making jellies
Then side by side. will be displayed

with this arrangement, as every num-
Der of the entire programme was warm

antly responded after their first selec-

tracing the concert beyond the proper

Mr.. Barwick has complied with both
requests, and has sent a complete set OF
the weekly crop bulletins for 1886 TO the
