butter on the market; but plenty OF
creamery butter at 30 cents pei
pound. Some Of the California
papers claim that this state makes
as fine butter as is made anywhere,
it is SAID that during the months OF
December 1904, and January and
| the first two weeks of February OF
this year there were shipped to the
| east from San Francisco alone, near
ly so car loads or about 100000
pounds of butter, 95 per cent went
to New York direct. 1t is said the
dairy industry Of California now
yields 100000 Il year, yet it
falls s5,000,OOO below the home
demand.
At present there is no creamery
here at Corning, but there will be
one and perhaps two, probably
inside of a year.
There are some very unique char
acters that come here and locate in
haywood Colony. Some time last
year there was an old lady, perhaps
IS years old, came here and wanted
to buy land. The promoter Of NJ.
W. Colony, l am told, refused to
sell her land. She insisted and he
finally sold her 10 acres OF very
poor land down near the river.
She built a metal house that looks
something like a small store build
ing, with q water tank under the
entire roof Of the house. joining
the house she had small metal sta
BILE built. She lives in the house
all alone, and keeps a little mule IN
the stable, which she drives to 4 top
buggy to town and back. What an
old, broken-down woman would
want to live away from her rcla-
tives and friends for, in such loca-
ton, would be hard to imagine.
About Christmas "retired"
Spanish doctor and wife came here
from Brooklyn n. Y, and rented
a house near town, but have recent
ly bought 40 acres of very poor
land q miles from Corning and are
planting about 20 acres to figs and
almonds. They ride around in an
automobile, and own a fine spaniel
dog-only three like it in the United
States; W. K. Vanderbilt owns the
other two. Express on the dog
was S65 from New York. He rode
in little house built for him; car
ries 81, 900 life insurance and had a
$500 additional accident insurance
on him during transportation y
The doctor '<bought $4,000 worth
of furniture before leaving Brook
lyn to furnish the house they expect
to build here, had it packed and
sent to the wharf, but before they
were ready to have it shipped the
wharf burned and the furniture was
destroyed; it was insured, however
| Possibly the doctor may build {
house here on his 40-acres as fine a.

Ashville, N. c. Such people will
help build up NJ. W. Colony, so lie
them come.
