mia division of the department of agricul-
ture has issued the following summary for
the week ending May %:
Rain fell In generous amounts over the
northern portion of the state on the 22d
and light showers occurred on other dates
in the northern and extreme southern parts
of the state. From San Francisco north
ward the rainfall was much above the
normal from San Francisco southwark to
the Tehachapi, below the normal. The
week has been unseasonably cold, the av-
erage temperature, with one exception, be-
ing from three to nine degrees-below the
normal. The cold weather and rain In
terrupted haying and some damage was
done to cut hay, but the benefit to wheat,
feed and fruit more than compensates for
damage to hay and cherries. Some grain
that would have been cut for hay will
now be saved for grain Summer fallow
will yield fair crop In some sections.
but winter sown Is generally failure
Alfalfa Is doing well. Cherries were not
damaged as much as expected and Ship
ments are now being made. Fruits gen.
ehally are In good condition. Grapes,
prunes and late peaches promise a full
yield. Oranges and olives are doing we'll
Apricots, almonds and ounces will give
but scant yield. Fair crop Of barley on
bottom lands. Hops are thrifty and prom
ise we'll. Beans and beets will now be
planted. Walnuts will make fair crop.

Machinery and Modern Farming

The smallest implement upon "a biz
wheat farm is pillow. And from the
pillow to the elevator-from the first
operation in wheat farming to the last
-one is forced to realize how the spirit
OF the age has made itself felt here and
has reduced the amount of human labor
TO the minimum. The man who plows
uses his muscle only incidentally in
guiding the machine. The man who
operates the harrow has half a dozen
levers to Tighten his labor. The "sower
VINO goeth forth to SOW, )" walks leisure
ly behind drill and works brakes. The
reaper needs a quick brain and ouick
hand, but not necessarily a strong arm,
nor powerful back. He works sitting
down.
The thrashers are merely assistants
TO machine, and the men who heave
tine wheat into the bins only press but
tons. The most desirable farmland is
not the fellow who can pound the

The Public Schools
Begin the Winter
Term.
Training School Not Ready
IL was Intended 20 Have This school
Completed at This Time Hut All
Are Again Disappointed.

The public schools will open for the be-
ginning of the winter term tomorrow,
alter a two weeks vacati n. The high
school will meet as heretofore in the
old school hall. The school authorities
had intended TO have the new manual
training school building in such shape
that the high school could occupy the
third floor at the opening OF the next
pushed for all there is in it, the new
building will not be ready for at least
amonth and Supt. Cooley does not ex-
pect TO be able to get the high school To-
Gated in the new building much before the
first OF February.
Supt. Cooley plans to have fine
school out of the upper floor OF this i'm
mense building which has been in the
course OF erection the greater part OF the
summer. Some changes had to be made
in the arrangement OF the rooms 80 as
to be better fitted for the high school.
The room which will be used az the
main assembly room is in the southeast
end OF the building on the third floor.
1t is fifty feet in width and seventy
long, and was made out OF the two
rooms which occupied that corner OF the
building by removing the partition. In
mediately adjoining the assembly room
is the spacious Office for the principal OF |
the high school, Miss Sanborn. Her Office |
opens into the assembly room. The
seating capacity OF the new school room
will be 90 less than $50.
There will also be four fine large class
rooms on the second floor. Each OF
these room are 29x32 feet in dimensions
and in close connection with the main
room. The chemical and physical labor.
atories will be on the second floor and
very large rooms.
All these rooms are well lighted by
many windows and the building will be
heated throughout by steam. The men
are now at work laying the pipes in the
building.
Special means OF ventilation will be
provided and this important part of the
OF the school room will be
q good time attended to.
SuDt. Cooley expects to have a large

THE SMILE OF A CHILD.

The smile of child to a weary heart.
Like dew on the thirsty earth,
L. springing well whence teardrops start
In flow Of Joy from living worth.
The smile of child is a gift from heaven,
Frightening the way of toll;
Like golden clouds floating at even,
Bathing with beauty Gods flower gem

Like incense as its fragrance waves
And floats on the air the while
Meath richly sculptured architraves
Or thickly peopled aisle.
Give me knowledge, give me health.
But in grief and sorrow wild
Give me the wealthiest known OF wealth
The artless smile of a child.

Compared with what was expected of it last nights meeting of the city council was tame affair. It may do better this afternoon at ? o'clock, to which the meeting was adjourned on account of the sudden illness of Coun- cilman GarZ.
 After auditing the usual monthly accounts a petition was received for the opening of South Second avenue from Harrison to Buchanan street. This will involve the purchase of a strip of land twenty feet wide and 250 feet long at cost of s250. A reso- 1ution was adopted ordering ."e water company to abate that rid5 U!

It is also ex- pected that a project for the remova of the perennial and ever green DutcE ditch will be presented. The ladie; of the W. c. T.

TO REMOVE A MANS STOMAH.
Daring Surg cal Operation to Be Per
 formed in Detroit.

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 3.-Dr. H. o. Walker will probably remove a mans stomach as the last effort to save his life some day within the next week.
 The patient is suffering from can cerous growth in the stomach, and ua- less it is cut ont the man will die. Should the doctor find, when he per forms the operation, that the entire stomach is affected by the growth he will remove that organ entirely. It is a daring operation but Dr. Walker says that with death as sure penalty if it is not done it will be humane to attempt t.
 He has already experimented upon two dogs, and one of them survived the operation successfully. He fast ened the intestines to the lower part of the oesophagus with a Murphy but ton. In the case of the dog that died he sewed it with silk.

 He left today for Mississippi county the home of relatives. The penften- tiary physician says he cannot live until spring.
 Allen claimed that he was associated with Holmes when the latter built his famous Fort Worth, Tex, castle with the money of Minnie Williams, whom he afterward murde cred. Allen always contended that Holmes did not kill Miss Williams, and that he knew where she could be found.
