Mrs Guinness. as she was declared Of
ficially dead by the verdict of Coroner
Mack. but in order to vote true bill
against Lamphere as an accessory in

Separate bills were returned against
Lamphere for the murder in the first de-

IRRIGATION BOOMS
DAIRY INDUSTRY
Report of State Bureau Ac-
counts for Rapid Growth
in Butter Business
Small Creameries of the Farm
ers Are Giving Place to
Large Institutions


According to the report OF the state
dairy bureau of California for the last
two years recently submitted to Gov
ernor GilIett, the rapid growth OF this
industry in California is due to irriga-
ton. The report picks out nine coun-
ties as an illustration OF the growth
of the Industry since the work OF ir
rigating the lands was begun. AS late
as 1900 these nine counties made but
4,129,SS2 pounds OF butter. Last year
these same nine counties made 19,I59,-
352 pounds OF butter. or 40 per cent of
the total output of the state.
The change in the relative Import
ance of the different counties as given
in the report shows an interesting fea
ture In the recent development of the
industry. In 1897 the 10 biggest but
| ter counties were all on the coast. They
Were: Marin. Humboldt. san Luis Obs
DO, Sononfa. Monterey, Santa Barbara,
Mendocino, Los Angeles. San Mateo and
Del Norte. Today only four Of these
old dairy counties are in the list Of
the biggest butter counties In place
| OF the others are six counties In the
| irrigated district These are Stanis-
laus, Fresno. Merced, TuIare, Kings and
San Joaquin
The output for the year ending Sep
tember so, 1903, was 4S,4eS,585, as
| against 2s.eef, ,92s for the year ending
| September so, 1898. The report says
/ that there has been a great decrease
in the number of individual creameries
on farms. More than 75 per cent Of
the butter made last year was the
product Of large creameries. The re-
| port advances the belief that within
a few years the making of butter and
other dairy products viii be confined
| to a few large creameries.
| Prices for butter and cheese have
been higher during the last two years
than have ruled for Is years past
Dairymen estimate that the value of
their product for years ending Septem-
ber 80, 1907, and September 80. 1908.
was $24,41e,731 and s25, respect

More than 1000 inspections of dairies.
creanleries and cheese factories We're
made last year. Eighty four cases were
prosecuted last year.
