 Senator Manning offered an amendment to Senator Cazort's amendment inserting the words after settlement" after the word "con- tract.
 Senator King side-tracked his speech and opposed Senator Manning's amendment.

 Senator Morton said it seemed to him that Senator Cazorts amendment cured some of the defects of the bill. The more he att e-npts to abridge the rights Of corporations you legislate against the interests of their em- ployes If this amendment adopted it would shut down all the sawmills in the boundaries of his county. Their lumber in- terests are wholly confined to the limits of their own and surrounding counties. The sawmlll men are dependent on home con sumption, consequently they receive very little cash. Men go to work in the sawmills under contract to take their pay in lumber Then they exchange the lumber with the farmers for provisions. It seemed to him that this was the most unwarranted most un- reasonable and most unjust bill ever presented
 Pending further discussion on the bill the senate took a recess.
 Immediately on reassembling, upon motion Of Senator Manning, the sawmill bill and amendments were referred to the committee on corporations.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

Santa Rosa Press: Sonoma County
farmers, orchardists and vineyardists
are feeling greatly encouraged at the
prospects for this season From all
indications this encouragement is we'll
founded for it is very doubtful II there
ever was a spring when the various
lines Of agriculture gave brighter prom
lse of abundant returns than they do
this year. Unless all signs fail Sono-
ma county will produce the biggest
crops of hay, grain and fruits in it's
recent history. It is too early to base
any predictions in regard to prices, but
it is hardly likely that they will be any
worse than they have been during the
past few years. They should be bet
ter because the demand for many
things has materially increased. With
the Sonoma County canneries and dri-
ers in operation, with the big wineries
ready to crush all the grapes that will
be taken to them, with energetic fruit
buyers huStling for the privilege of
shipping cur fruits to Eastern mark
cts, prices should be firm and some
higher, here. The Sonoma County
farmers are all ready to take off their
hats to the boom of prosperity and it
cannot make its appearance any too
soon to please them and all who asSo-
ciate with them

Nortfumbrian and Scotch Rustics.

The NOrthum brian peasant is not at
all Scotch. On the contrary, the an
cient animOSitieS between England and
Scotland We're keenest on the borders,
and are still alive there. AS soon as
You cross the Tweed the difference be-
comes apparent First there is the dia-
lect. To q Londoner it is all Scotch,
and there's an end of the matter, but
there are several important points of
difference. You find one exemplified in
words such as home, stone, one, etc.
The Scot says hame, stane, ane, but
the Northumrian hymn, sty'n, yin-I
fear those who have heard it will be
able to give that "" its proper sound.
And then the inimitable burr. One
has to give up in despair all attempts
to represe Mt it phonetically, just as one
cannot n letters represent the pronun-
citation Of me" and similar words. But
it is ali English of a sort, and not
Scotch. Still more striking is the diff
ference in facial expression. The typ
ical Scot is naturally reserved. not to
say sly and self-controlled, his face is
something of a mask through which
the true man peers at his neighbor A
southern peasant is polite, civil, re-
spectful, touching, in awe of the
squire and the quality. In Northum-
berland you will find the peasant frank
er than the Scot, Of more independent
bearing than is common south of the
Ouse, his faults rudeness and brusque-
ness.
Again, the difference in the church
arrangements has a considerable effect
upon the character. The parsons in
fluence OIL the great body of rustics is
small. Episcopalianism attracts prac-
tically only the gentry, their depen-
dents and retainers and large tenants,
the binds, bondagers, small tradesmen.
and jobbing laborers attending the
meeting houses of the English Presby-
terians. The ministers of both denom-
nations are more straight-laced and in
some resTe superior to their prede-
cessOrs. Many a curious story | have
