The attendance at the country
fairs, state and county, this year
was smaller than usual. Why was
this ? It was because there is less
money than there was among the
farmers. Yet we are told that this
is time of agricultural prosperity.
1t is not anything of the kind.
Wheat may ripen and corn may
fgrow, but that counts for nothing
unless there is demand. Hoard
ing wheat and corn for fair price
is always a losing business.

SHERMAN HAS PLACED US
 IN THE JAWS OF THE LION

of the 5th inst. before me in which you speak of accepting the $400 600 for our Los Angeles bonds and the difference of opinion between you and Frank on that subject. In answer ] will say cannot consent to the giving .of an opinion on so important matter as the one involved.
 Frank has been giving that matter a great deal of thought and attention and his opinion on the subject should be duly considered and appreciated, think. We have our heads in the lions jaws just now. Let us be very careful. thoughtful and considerate in getting it out or we will certainly be crushed by the animal.
 What you say about Sherman fully believe and appreciate, but~dont forget that he is in the pen with us and IS full partner that cannot be ignored aI the present time. And we must make common effort and common battle to- gether or all is lost and we must go down together. And it will not do to offend or kick him just now as our business matters stand. We will only the more injure ourselves in doing so, in all probability. This whole matter from the start was steel trap set to catch the Pacific Bank in. We have taken the bait and the trap was sprung and We are fast in it. The question Is how to get out alive and if so with as little injury as possible. If we can get back on a solid business basis tor a . loss of one-half of all my business in- terests in the Pacific Bank and one half of all my personal property out side of the bank, I will feel quite well satisfied. taking into account the losses by the John Brown colony, Cedar .Riv- CT Coal Company and other losses upon us and likely soon to come upon us.
 The question now is how we may save ourselves from utter ruin and dis graceful bankruptcy. The whole Of these matters are now in the hands of and under the control of you and Frank and they will go up in safety or down in ruin out of your hands and you are much more interested in your success than what l am, as you and Frank are to live good while yet. in all proba biiity. with your reputation at stahe. At most I have but 8 very few months or years to live and all my ambitions have zubsided except for my good name, wh/ch l am very desirous to preSSrve.-r%t so much for myself as for my ch111ren and my family.
