A NICE EXAMPLE TO SET.

Some 81 the members of the board of
education, in regard to the purchase OF
property in Rowlandtown for school,
denied that the committee closed the
deal by authority of the board. Trustee
{. W. Morrison. as told in the Sun sew
eral days ago and denied by "a member
of The board" in another paper. bought
thc property, and did il pursuant to in
.luetions of the board. Since his right
and authority TO purchase it were dis
putod he went TO the records and found
that the board of education's minutes
of June show the following:
Chairman Morrison reported recon-
mending purchase of block VI ground
on North Side for $1,000, payable once
third cash, balance in one and two years.
This was recommended as the best deal
that could be made. Vote: Seven
yeas. two nays. Carried and committee
authorized TO close deal in every way
"Clerk was ordered TO give check for
$1,000 when everything was fully closed
and demand made by the committee for
same.
(SiWed.) FRANK d. MAY,
CLERK, Board of Education
Now that Trustee Morrison has vim
dicated his position and his action, the
members of the board who went back
ON their word are left in an unpleasant
light. Their action in repudiating the
purchase and "ruing back" after every
thing had been done except the actual
formal transfer of the property, shows
how little some of them know about
business matters of this kind
If the board didn't want the property.
il should never have authorized its pur.
chase in the first place. II it decided
later that il would not be advisable to
purchase it, however, the members

that was raised on by-products had a value of $1 ,SSl ,264.
 The coast counties, excepting Los An geles, showing 40 per cent. increase, and San Diego, which made a gain of 30 per cent, have just about held their own Humboldt county, the largest butter producer in the State, shows slight de- cline. The gain is therefore confined almost entirely to the counties in South ern California, the San Joaquin and a portion of the Sacramento Valley. Dur ing the season two more counties passed the l, LOCO, ,000-pound mark ill butter pro- duction. They are Stanislaus and Tu lare. making nine in the State with an annual output of over 1,000,000 pounds. In the case of both these counties the increase amounts to almost 60 per cent. Kings and Merced counties gained each approximately 30 per cent, and Fresno 25. Five counties in the San Joaquin Valley-Fresno, Kings, Merced, Stanis- laus and Tulare-made total gain over the previous year of over 1.500,OO0 pounds, or approximately 40 per cent. In the Sacramento Valley there are only two counties in which dairy devel- opment is as yet conspicuous. These are Sacramento and Yolo. The former gained little over 10 per cent. and the latter l5. The production of butter in the State shows steady increase from 23, ,69l OPS pounds in 1898 to 34,676,3ll pounds in 19O3-[ California Fruit Grower.

BARLEY HEADING OUT
Many Beautiful Fields of Grain Near
 ing Harvest

There is grain near Imperial now standing between four and five feet high, which is heading out and will soon be ready for harvest. This is the case particularly with field of barley on Holland & Farnsworth's ranch. It is volunteer crop, and experienced farmers estimate the yield at four tons of hay to the acre, so dense and high is the growth. A parallel of this is found on the ranch of w. A. Woods.
 F. F. Of the 60,000 acres of grain growing in the valley, there are all conditions of crops, and seeding still continues on a large scale. But there are a number of crops which will be ready for harvest by April l. Grain harvest will be continu- ous from that date to about September 1, period of five months.

tho stage was ID feet, inches.
Ihe forecast was the most accurate
III years and there was never more
time for preparation. AS a result
the damage here was kept down to
the minimum.
Nevertheless fully one third of
the homes in the city we're wholly
or partially inundated, and the
sharp fall i'll temperature. with re-
Sultant formation Of ice, accom-
panied by shutting of of natural
gas Ill the flood districts, has caused
a good deal Of suffering. On the
island very few streets are ont Of
the water and many second stories
are invaded but the residents are ac-
custoned to floods and have made
arrangements accordingly. Nearly
all the mills and factories are on the
river front and the damage to them
Will be the most severe. In manv
instances resumption Of work will
be delayed for days or weeks, and
