honored butt of so many boarding house
jokes has quite an experience to go
through before it makes its bow at the
table. Wild prune lands sells for $3.50 to
$4OO an acre, but when set to trees is
worth s40O to $500 an acre, which is
about half what orchards were worth a
few yearsago Green prunes sell to the
dryers for $40 to s35 ton. Santa Clara
county produces one fifth of all the
prunes grown in the state.
Vineyards at this time of the year are
very odd looking. Except that they are
planted with great precision, you would
think they were the very much gnarled
roots of trees that had been thrown out
to dry. No attempt is made to train the
branches when they appear and it seems
almost ungrateful when, after they have
borne their loads of fruit, for the pruner
to come along and cut all of them of.
There are quite a number Of wineries
Scattered through he valley and in the
RESTAURANTS you get your choice of tea,
coffee, milk or Vine at the same price.
That's not remarkable however, when
native wines sell at 20 to % cents gal
lon. "A great many peaches and apricots
are dried here and Los Gatos also has a
canning factory which gives employment
to 400 or 500 hands during the busy sea-
son, mostly women and girls. They
come here for miles around and live in
tents.
On the 18th inst. we went to Pacific
grove for brief visit with MIR. and Mrs.
J. K. Musselman, who had a cottage
there. Here we had our first ramble on
the oceans beach, the remembrance of
which will linger for many day. Pacific
Grove Just now has 1900 to 1000 people
but in the summer its population is
swelled to 10000. 1t is very popular
resort. "For Rent" and ''To Let" signs
are all over town and no matter how
small the house it is plumbed for water
as there is not we'll in the town Pm
told. Here Gala lilies were as common
as golden rod in North Dakota. There
were clumps and hedges of them every
where and all in bloom.
.aWe enjoyed the II mile drive through
the pine woods and skirting the beach,
winding up with visit to historic old
Monterey which is only 3 miles distant.
On the 10th party of 8 of us, includ-
ing Hazel Kneeshaw, visited Big Trees,
where we met Mr.. AMI Mrs. Musselman
and enjoyed an Illinois North Dakota
picnic. l couldn't begin to describe the
trees. you'll have to go see them your
selves to appreciate them. One old tel-
low, who had the misfortune to lose his
top knot-a matter of Is feet in length,
still towers 306 feet in the air and is
about 25 feet in diameter at the base.
secured several fine pictures of our party
which will show comparative size OF

me SO I'll stop for now. We start for

Let me turn to Granville county. next
door neghbor to Wake. and refer to a
truly great bar in the past. The late
Hon. Abram w. Venable, a native of
Prince Edward county, Virginia, at my
request, furnished me for the war maya
zine l edited in 1S74-75, called Our
Living and Our Dead" with his impress
sions of the Bar of Granville as he saw
it in 1925 He dictated it to his grand
son, my own lamented nephew, named
after him, the distinguished and aged
lawyer being unable to use the pen by
reason of palsy. 1t is too long to be
copied here. The inquisitive reader can
find it in the bound volumes of the
magazine. l suppose the State Library
contains a copy of these volumes, as all
weu-appointed college libraries should
contain. Mr.. Venable said that the Su-
preme Court of the United States could
have been taken from the Granville Bar
as he first knew it. He gives the names
of the leaders then. 1t is not inappro-
pirate to recall some words from the
greatest Greek petitioner: Master OF
persuasive speech, whose tongue dropped
words more sweet than honey. But
that tongue is forever silenced. so far
as this life is concerned, for to quote
another Homeric line: "He fell and death
involved him in it's shade" 1t is not
out OF place for the living to recall the
memory of the dead and to tell of those
men Of might, character and influence,
who once "fulmined GER assemblies,
and were leaders in thought and achieve
ments in their day. With such able,
scholarly, widely read and distinguish
ed resident lawyers as Mr.. Venable and
his friend, Hon. Robert G. Gillian, an
alumnus of the University of North
Carolina, taking the highest honors, 1
