An Ideal Place Of Residence.

The California coast presents an unsur-
passed combination of advantages for
health, pleasure and profit. There are forty
places offering relief for ones favorite dis
ease; you can make money raising fruits
and vegetables, and you can have a good
time by ''side-stepplng, as they say out
here. 1t is not land of lotus-eaters, how
ever, by any means. although it lies in eter-
nal sunshine and the air is charged heavily
with ozone. A large and fortunate proper
ton of the population are RENTERS,
who toll not, neither do they spin. but get
their living through the post Office. The
money to pay their bills comes in registered
letters usually from the east. But he who
has no Investments elsewhere to bring him
dividends Is not emancipated from the curse
OF Adam. He Is compelled to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow here as elsewhere.

cap.

One of the largest crowds that ever gath
cred at the New Orleans track was present
yesterday afternoon. 1t was ladies' day at
the races, and thousands of the fair sex,
owing to the warm weather, were enabled
to wear summer costumes. The card was
an attractive one. and favorte players had
much the better of the argument with the
layers.
The mile handicap was deprived of a
great deal of interest on account of the
scratching of Rams Horn. Coruscate was
made an odds on favorite and was heavily
played. Monaco Maid was the only one of
the others that was thought to have a
chance and she was also we'll supported
All the way Monaco Maid and Coruscate
fought it out. and in the final furlong Mo-

TOBACCO FROM CUBAN SEED.
Gratifying Success Of Experiments in
Eastern Texas. -.. ~

Eastern Texas.
Experts Of the bureau Of soils of the De-
partment Of Agriculture have been for some
time making a study Of the new tobacco in
dustry in eastern Texas where. 1t was re-
ported to the department, considerable
progress had been made in growing a do
mestic filler from Cuban seed. Near Villa.
Montgomery county several warehouses
and cigar factories have been for some time
In operation and an examination of the to-
bacco grown and used there showed that
1t was of an excellent quality. 1t Is said to
surpass in aroma any domestic leaf exam
ined up to that time, but the crop was not
such as to warrant the prediction of a phe-
nomenal growth OF the industry as it was
being then carried on.
The 1903 crop is now being sold and dis
trfbuted among the principal cigar manu-
facturers of the country. who express sat
tsfaction with the leaf. 1t Ia the general
feeling OF the trade that this tobacco will
fill an important place in the market, if
produced in sufficient quantities and at rea-
sonable prices. The tobacco being an en-
tirely new product and having at the pres
emit time no fixed status in the market il is
to be expected that its introduction will be
more or less slow and tedious, and the
growers of this Texas leaf must not at first
look for the highest prices. On the other
hand. Judging from the character of the
leaf grown and cured under the supervision
OF the bureau. the prices should increase
considerably as the trade becomes ac-
quainted with the tobacco and channels for
Its distribution become established
The value Of this tobacco. as far as the
bureau has informed itself to the present
time varies considerably, the prices for the
finished product ranging from 25 to 40
cents pound. according to the grade and
quality OF the leaf. but the grower cannot
expect to obtain at the outset more than
u OF 20 cents for the unfermented leaf.
From computations based on the past work
OF tho bureau 1t Is estimated that the cost
OF growing the tobacco. under normal con-
dltions. should not exceed 10 cents a pound.
The average yield Is estimated to be GOO
pounds or more per acre:

Treasurer's Report.

IreaSuCerS NopOTC.
The annual report Of the treasurer, Major
Ourand, was then read, and showed that
the association had expended something
like hundred dollars during the year and
now has over $50 remaining In the treas
ury. 1t also showed that after recent
removal from the rolls of those who were
delinquent in the payment Of their dues
the association has a total membership OF
125 active and seven honorary members
An amendment to the constitution was
adopted providing for the admission Of all
clergymen as members Of the association
without the payment of admission fees or
annual dues.
The association then listened to addresses
from Wilton ]. Lambert. president OF the
Brightwood Association, and Louis r.
Shoemaker, recent president OF the same
association.
President Lambert's strongest plea was
that Congress should be urged to provide
for bonds to help the District In securing
better water better streets and sewers and
many other needed improvements. and thus
compel the coming generation to help pay
for something that will benefit them more
than it will the present generation. These
and many other things SO much desired by
Washington can. he said. only be secured
by the hearty cooperation of all the ctti-
Zens' associations In the District Of CO.
lumbia.

the world boasts. and in which we all have
