construct Ball boa avenue than in making Q
forty centuries.
Our carnival is ahead Of that of Los
For il. hab
While ours is sill to the front and vanish
ing in the distance.
1t is just as well to rem ember that Beat
rice Harraden's California story is avow-
edly work of fiction. She was not

That's nothing - the north wind here
raises other things besides wheat

ing more and more serioua, and the dan
gers have not vet passed. 1t would be
better for those people to strike out for the
arid districts and irrigate as they need it,

Politicians who take an interest in CO.
nundrums are trying 10 guess what the
Populists will do when they assem- BILE in
the proposed convention at Nashville next
July. 1t is believed that none but the
middle-of-the-road men Will be present

to the road.
The Tulare Register observes that the
pure food investigation made in San

we have in San Francisco is pretty good,
what there is of it, and there is plenty OF
it such as it is.

until he dies, and candidates Tor his seat
will have TO wait for funeral.
The 0roville Mercury. in announcing the
opening of a local creamery this week, de-
clares that in order for it to succeed q
preference must be given its product over
any imported article. We should say that
If the people of that section fail to show
this preference the only way that the
creamery can get even will be 10 send its
superior product abroad. 1t will be them
selves and not the creamery that the
Orovilleans will injure by their failure TO
take advantage of the home production.
