CALIFORNIA LETTER
Former Resident Of Town OF
FareIy Writes About Thier
New Home

is NOW more than six months since
we said farewell to our friends IN
Warren we Thought that we would
write a few lines to- the SHEAF which
seems like good old friend coming
to us every week We arrived at
Sacramento October 18th, 1904. We
rented a house and started house
keeping till we found a place suit
able to buy for a future home, and
this was notvery easily done, as there
wasso much to seeleet from Finally
alter looking over most OF the prop
erty for sale In five counties, we
concluded to buy a 10 acre tract i'm
the. Orange Vale Colony Saeramen-
to Co. On which was new Z room
house This; colony has it's own
waiter system, with iron pipes, just
like In q city, so we have waiter in
the house, barn, garden and orchard
with about so pounds pressure.
We have Il Rural Free Delivery
Route in the colony so we get the
mail to tine door daily The grocery
Stores butcher and laundry deliver
twice d week, so we think thai we.
have about every convenince that Il
city has and still we live i'm the.
country. 1t was NOT usual for us; in
town OF Farely to be at home talk
ing to our neIghbors through the
telephone. Here the land is all in
l0 acre tracts and almost everybody
raises fruitr such as oranges, olives,
lemons, grapes and peaches We
planted some straw berries the 18TH
OF February and April 18th we picked
a fine lot OF ripe berries ALL kinds
of garden truck seem to do we'll
here The grass was green all
winter and the graTn is mosuIv
all seeded IN the fall, and oats and
barley are about ripe now. The
cherries have just been picked and
the apricots are. beginning to get ripe.
Last winter 1T raIned some but not
SO very much The; roads were
always in good condition We had
a few light frosts last january here
in the colony. Now I wish to saw a
few words about the Climatic in
California as there were. so many OF
our friends in Warren aud vfcinity
that had good deal to say about the
rains, the foggy weather, the hot
sunshine and the sandstorms IN
California, and so of course we
Thought we. would have all these
difficulties to rum up against when
We came here We had a little
foggy weather in December and
january, but not as much as they
had at SOME other places In Sacra-
mento Valley About one half OF the
people living In this colony are from
Minnesota, and most of them saw
that d person don't mind the heat
amy more here than they did there.
But, as you all know California is a
big static and has more. changes in
Climatic ON a short distance than a.
person would imagine. On Nav
2nd was about so miles east of
Folsom City almost in the moun-
taIns, am there. 1T fell about six
inches OF SNOW, and at Folsom CTtv
they had a mice warm rain shower.
SO think that almost anybody cam
find a Climatic to- suit him sone-
where In CALIFORNIA;. We have. had
very nice spring weather, the
thermometer registers about 75 in
the shade most all the time now
days We are, all we'll and feel
quite, contented In our new home.
Very truly yours,
j. T. JOHNSON.

HOLD BACK PART OF
BEEF TRUST REPORT
Most Damaging Portion of
GarfieId's Work Is Being
Kept Secret
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Com-
missioner of Corporations Garfield Is
not at all worried over the newspaper
charge that his report on the beef trust
was whitewash for that unpopular cor
poration. He expected this sort of
criticism, because his report contained
none of the damaging evidence he COL
lected. All this material, which might
have created a sensation If it had been
made public, is in the Office of the at
torney general.
When Representative Martin of
South Dakota, whose resolution re-
suited in the investigation of the beef
trust, saw what Mr.. Garfield gave to
the public in his report, he hurried to
the department of commerce to ascer-
tain why nothing had been said about
certain important matters mentioned
in his resolution. He was not so much
concerned in the capitalization of the
various companies engaged in the beef
industry as he was in the more vital
matter of the alleged conspiracy
among packers to keep down the price
of cattle and boost up the price to con-
sumers. Not a word was said on this
point in Mr.. Garfields report Mr..
Martin was told that information Oh
this question had been collected by
agents of the department and that it
had been included in the report as
originally made up and transmitted 10
the president.
The report of Mr. Garfield was in
the custody of the president for several
weeks. All the time that impatient
members of the house were storrning
and fuming because 1t was not sent to
the capitol. the document was being
reviewed by the attorney general and
Mr.. Garfield. under instructions of the
president. They were culling out all
evidence against the trust regarding
conspiracy in restraint of trade, agree
ments TO control the price of steers and
bargains concerning the cost of meat
and trade. There was a vast amount
of this material, and it was all care
fully cut out by the attorney general
and will be used by him in the prose-
cutions against the trust later on.
No one in official circles here doubts
that the administration has evidence
of damaging character against the
big beef packers. Mr.. Garfield says
the public will have better apprecia-
ton of his work after certain matters
now under preparation in the depart
ment of justice come TO light
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-03-08

For ten days the Japanese and Rus
sian armies in Manchuria have been
engaged in a mighty conflict, the issue
of which has not yet been reached. AL
though the most of the news from the
scenes of the battle comes through
Russian sources and consequently may
be supposed to present the facts in as
favorable light as possible for the
Russian arms, it is evident that the
Japanese made some. gains yesterday.
st. Petersburg has an official report
that Gen. Kuropatkin's center has been
broken and that thirteen siege guns
have fallen into the hands of the Japa-
nese. These guns, which are of and
inch caliber, were permanent en-
placements on the line of railroad
north of Shakhe station, the fact evi-
dencing the confidence of the Russians
that the Japanese could not penetrate
thither
In st. Petersburg it is generally be-
lieved that Gen. Kuropatkin was YES
terday fighting rear guard action to
cover his retreat and that the night
will have witnessed a large withdrawal
of troops toward Tie pass. All of the
commander in chiefs ability, it is con-
sidered, will be required to extricate
his army from its present predicament.
The issue, it is expected, will be de-
cided today, and great deal unques-
tionably depends on the comparative

TIMBER is RESCUED
Iind's Last Work In Congress a
Triumph

WASHINGTON, March Z. = Gov.
Lind is leaving congress happy in hav-
ing accomplished in the closing week
of the session a very important act for
the protection of government timber
Land from the raids of lumber thieves
This bill prohibits the exchange of
lieu scrip issued for relinquished for
estry reserve lands for other timber
lands. About 100000 acres worth of
such scrip is now held by the lumber
dealers and railroads. Ii was issued for
lands which have been denuded of val
liable timber. Under the old law the
holders could locate on new timber.
Lind had to fight Representatives
Lacey and Mondell who were members
of the conference committee consider
ing the bill, but with the help of Sem
ators Nelson and Hansbrough he finally
secured an agreement. The president,
in signing the bill, said IL would pre-
vent very serious raids on government
timber reserves. Walter Z. Clark.
