SEED MARKETS-Chcag Oct. H.
The fax seed market was wild Tuesday
because of an extraordinary demand from

the actual cash demand for flax seed and
its products. 1t would appear now that
our prediction of Sl.40 for flax was no
idle dream. Receipts here were SO cars,
81 cars at Duluth, and 43 cars at Mime

Cattle receipts were heavy and mostly
natives. While prices ruled generally
steady on everything except steer calves
and common to fair stock COWS and heif-
ers, there were but few buyers in. and
this made a slow movement. Steer calves
sold off 10 to 20 cents, and fair stock heif-

in other stock and feeding cattle Butcher
offerings were scarce. and mostly COM

Fair Oaks
at the air.

FAIR OAKS, Sept. 6. - The State
Fair of 1899 is worthy of the closing
exhibit of the nineteenth century, The
visitor unaccustomed to look upon Cal
ifornia products is in a maze of wonder
and admiration as he passes along the
exhibits, even as they were shown on
the first day, while the exhibitors are
busy putting on the finishing work of
their respective displays. Fair Oaks
has not all her products in place, and
those who have things to exhibit will do
well to hasten to the Fair with what
they have to show
There is much to claim the attention
of the visitor. Most astonishing of
all is the fact that this display of
products came from land which less
than four years ago was an oak grove,
in which grazed thousands of sheep.
This is an object lesson in itself. The
first things that attract the attention
of the visitor is cluster of grape fruit
from the tree, already famous, grown
on John Leonard's place. This
tree is only two years growth from
planting. and four years from the date
of budding-in fact. not over eighteen
months from the budding to the plant
ing. 1t did have 22O pomelos on it's
branches, but 100 were picked and now
there are left on the tree nearly 120.
This cluster of nine specimens is one
rarely, if ever. before seen.
j. H. Slocum has some orange cling
peaches of the very choicest of this
kind of fruit. The color is perfect, and
lcalled forth many expressions of ad-
miration. An egg plant grown by
Nicholas Froebe arrests the attention
of the visitor by it's size. This plant
measures 70 inches in its longest cir
cumference and Il by the shortest, and
weighs > pounds. A cluster of choice
grapes raised by Mr.. Londonderry of
three varieties is seldom equalled in all
points Mrs. Chapmans fine apples
and Mr.. Testers greetings find no
peers in the exhibit thus far displayed.
There are almonds from j. E. Hoist s
orchard, canned goods by Mrs Buffum,
and not in the least are the products
sent in by Mr.. O'Neil and Mr.. Stephen
son. When the exhibit is all in place
the display will be rare one and each
specimen will claim special interest
Some forty views of places in Fair
Oaks will be in place Just as soon as
the artist has them completed.
Prof. r. V. Dixon has an ornamental
penmanship display giving the names
of the faculty of the Four Gables
Academy. He is also preparing to ex-
hibit some specimens of ornamental
pen work.
Harry Landis has sought out near by
the Fair Oaks exhibit a. place to show
the public how he delivers trees to the
orange growers of Fair Oaks. Many
seeing an orange tree growing in one
of these forms, see only a beautiful
tree, but on examination it will be seen
that this is the way trees are delivered
to customers. Unless there is a de-
scription of the purpose of this exhibit
many will fail to see more than a tree
in pail. supposed to be there for show.
Let everybody visit the State Fair
this year. Mrs. Shields. one of Fair
Oaks best neighbors. has a larger dis
play of her own than all Sacramento
County has as a county exhibit. 1t is
worth going many miles to see.

JUST AS EXPECTED.
No Ground for the Arrest of J. G.
Stevens in Hum mboIdt County.

A couple Of weeks ago a telegram
from Humboldt County was published,
stating that ]. G. Stevens, who keeps
an upholstering establishment on
Tenth street, between J and K, had
been arrested there for horse stealing
while he, with his family, was on a
camping tour. Mr.. Stevens friends
and neighbors in this city refused to
believe him guilty of anything of the
kind. and one, Thomas r. Hunt wrote
to him to explain the matter. Yester-
day Mr.. Hunt received the following
response:
Ukiah, Mendocino County - Dear
Friend Thomas: I received your let
ter to-day, and am glad to hear from
you, and thank you. Here is the story:
I lost one of my horses I knew a
man who had four horses and I went
to him and hired one to hitch up with
mine until / found the lost one I
didn't get back as soon as he thought
I should, and he swore out warrant
for me. I had an examination before
a Justice, and was discharged for lack
of evidence. That is the story I am
on my. way home, and of course in a
hurry. So, with thanks and respects,
I am yours truly,
T. G. STEVENS
