 | RETIREMENT OF A TROUGH The old Commercial corral was started l sixteen years ago and there was put
 into 1t watering trough made Of two inch redwood blanks. That trough was
 in constant service thereafter until
 yesterday when it was displaced by
 new one. - The horses of most of the farmers in the valley, of most of the
 Mexicans, Indians and cowboys have at
 one time or another slaked their thirst at that old trough. The wood is still in fairly good condition. Some years ago the bottom of the trough began to | split but the crevices were filled with
 putty. The trough might have lasted sixteen years longer, but it
 was permitted to go dry now and then and the cracks widened until it was decided to put in a successor. Even now the trough might have been re- taiIied in commission but the manage ment of the corral has changed. J. D. Houck taking hold of it today, and 1t was decided to make certain improve
 ments- A new trough was one of them.
