THE LEDOUX CASE.
Stockton Independent.

The legal fraternity not only OF
Stockton but of the state, more so
than any other body of business men,
are jubllant as they witness the
special legal holidays consequent up
on the tumuIt and disaster in San
Francisco in the throes of their last
struggle for existence, and which are
to cease, according to the announce
ment of Governor Pardee, with the
closing of the present week. Many OF
the laity are equally interested in the
resumption of business in the courts
and among them is Mrs Emma LIE
Doux, whose trial upon a charge of
numbering A. N. McVicar at the Cali
fornia House IN this city, will com
mence before Judge Nutter next Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock.
READY AND CONFIDENT.
The attorneys for the prosecution
and defense declare they are "ready
for trial. Each side has full con-
fidence in the merit of its position,
and although we'll versed in the
details of the case which has cost the
county so much and been the subject
of many unpleasant controversies
and accusations, neither side will be
surprised or perplexed it some little
simple unguessed clue-a "Ietter
from tIiend," OF other abnormal
circumstances, bobs up and changes
the whole trend of the case and
offers to the public matter for the
promised sensation. -

At 4 recent Chicago Commercial As
ISOLATION dinner James ]. Hill refoid
the great story of the growth OF the
Northwest since 1850, laying special
stress on the increase in farm vaiua-
tons In the fifty years between lSoo
and 1900, and predicting that, despite
all our manufacturing and commercial
activities, 1t will be to the farm that
this nation must look for solid foun-
dations for it's prosperity In the COM
ing generation. 1t Is interesting In
this connection to consider the facts
about the growth Of farm valuations
In the first half Of the present decade
as they appear In bulletin OF the Ag-
ricultural Department which has just
been made public. The inquiry Is Dased
on correspondence conducted with 90
600 correspondents in the fall OF last
year. The increase in the value of
medium quality farms, buildings and
Improvements included, in the five-year
period is put at 33 per cent. The west
ern group of states and the south CEN
trail group, the latter running from
Kentucky and Tennessee to Oklahoma
and Texas, show the greatest progress,
with increased valuations put at 40
per cent. The south Atlantic group
shows Sc per cent increase. The
north central group, including the mid
die and north Atlantic states, comes
next with IS per cent increase. TAX
ing farms, not by locality but by typi-
cal products, the cotton farms lead
with a 40 per cent increase, the hay
and grain farms "a per cent, farms de-
voted principally to sugar show 33 per
cent, and the tobacco farms 81 per
cent increase. The grand aggregate
Of increase in valuation Is more than
six billion dollars, Of which more than
two-thirds Is attributed to the hay,
grain and live stock farms. Such fig
ures as these show the share of the
agricultural interests of the country
In the general increasing prosperity Of
the country. They do not show the bet
ter utilization of our farming re-
sources as such. Nevertheless it Is IN
questioned that something at least of
this increase in values Is due to Just
such careful nursing of farms as Mr.
Hill urgently advocates. Moreover, this
certainly may be said, that the present
prosperity of the farmers is putting
them In an excellent position to make
the most, collectively and Individually,
of their economic opportunities. They
are not handicapped by their own pow
erty.
