SALEM MAN HAS A
DOCBLE-HUMPED HORSE

Mr.. r. Hargraves, who lives on
one of the Smith Fruit Tracts, has
a perfect specimen of double
bumped horse, or mare rather, and
The animal Is as strong and we'll as
other horses. and can pull big
load. The rump makes the animal
more nearly resemble a camel than
a horse and in some menageries Il
would be quite the great attraction.
The peculiar formation was the re-
suit of a railroad accident not to this
animal, but to her mother. An Inn
igrant was bringing carload of
stock to the country, and in passing
Salem a cardoor came open and a
fine mare heavy with foal either
jumped or was thrown out the open
door. When the train stopped the
newcomer went back to find his ami
NAL, and expected to discover only
the remains. But to his surprise he
found the mare apparently we'll and
sound. But when she had her colt
later 1t had this deformlty, and new
er got rid Of the double-hump. The
mare with the hump is a familiar
sight on the streets, weighs 1900, is
10 years old and can pull big load
Her backbone has nearly the per-
feet shape of a dromedary.

COMING ORANGE COUNTRY.

If indications count for anything and "coming events cast their sha- dows before" the next extensive de velopment in the planting of orange and lemon trees will take place in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. By reason of climatic conditions the or anges grown in these valleys will be off the market before the regular crop of Southern California will come on. The Navels of the Imperial Val ley will probably come into market as early as November, thereby com peting with the early crops of Central California-Rural Californian.

MAGIC OF WATER.
Changes a Desert Into an Empire of

There is nothing more surprising
 than the development of agriculture under the magic influence of water in
 the Imperial. Valley, says the Rural Californian. But yesterday a desert, today an empire yielding annual crops of soil products aggregating over a million of dollars. The basic crops at the present writing are the cereals, live stock, dairy products, alfalfa hay and cantaloupes. For the most part these aggregate nearly million and a half of dollars, divided approximate ly as follows: Barley $450,000, hogs
