PLUNGED DOWN STAIRS
INSTEAD OF INTO POOL
Pennsylvania Boys Dream of Swim
ming Comes Near Costing
Him His Life.

CHESTER. Pa, Aug. eddie Cross.
an eight-ycar-o boy, of Upland, is a
frequent visitor to the swimming pool,
and his thoughts must have been on
that subject when he retired last night.
During a dream he imagined that he
was at the pool. but when he came to
his senses he found that he had left his
bed and dived headforemost down a
flight of stairs. Eddie is a good diver,
and he had held his hands out the same
as he would have done had he been
going into the water.
This probably saved his skull from
being fractured, and he escaped with
slight injuries.

ter of fruit production, the seven counties south of the Tehachapi are compared with the forty-fve counties north of that line. The county of Kern is called Northern California county for the purpose of showing that the north produces more petro- leum than the south. The statement is made that there are no lumber industries south of the Tehachapi Mountains" Should the president of the State Board of Trade visit South
 ern California he would find some lively lumber interests in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mount aims; to be sure not to be compared with those of the north, but important nevertheless. The secret of the matter lies in the confession that "the per sistent and commendable energy and local pride and loyalty to their own region of the people of the south have created the impression abroad that the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers, the California of sublime and inspiring scenery, the California where the physical comforts of living find their best expression exists only south of the Tehachapi Mountains" Then would it not be well for the north to exhibit some of that persistent and commendable energy and local pride and loyalty" for themselves be- fore the entire working machinery and
