from the early days of Indian occu-
pancy UP to the present date. No one
section is exploited at the expense of
any other section; all are treated fairly.
Chapters are devoted to the develop
ment of California's great industries.
Everything possible has been done to
hold the interest of the young reader
The author has gone largely to orig
inal sources for her material and has
had unusual advantages for the study
of old manuscripts and for the gath
ering of the recollections of members
of the old Spanish families.

double page map of the state, showing
the political divisions, forest reserves

it, to San Franciscans at least is the
fact that one of the illustrators is a

The subtitle of the book is "The
True Chronicles of a 'Diddy Box" and
to the landlubber that may be con-
fusing, but he soon learns that a diddy
box is a chest or box which each
sailor has for his possessions.
The book purports to be the true
story of a San Francisco boy who ran
away from comfortable home and
enlisted in the navy. He was taken
in just in time to CT Dss the ocean on

IN THE ORCHARDS or GARRETT.
Visit Of Officers of the State HOrtiCul-
tural Department.

The visit to Garrett county last week
of the officers of the Maryland State
Horticultural Department was one of
pleasure to the visitors and what they
observed is recounted in the following,
published in Sundays American.
The officers of the Maryland State
Horticultural Department, Prof. T. B.
Symons, State Pathologist; Prof. c. 2.
Close, State Horticulturist, are making
a tour of Garrett county in the interest
of fruit growing in that section and to
aid in their respective lines the persons
now engaged in horticul,u re.
Meetings with the farmers have been
arranged principally in connection with
the local oranges, this agricultural
organization being in Furnishing con-
dition in the county.
Farms and orchards are found to be
in a fourishing condition in Garrett
county. Fruits grow readily and with
proper care would be successful.
Very little San Jose scale or other
dangerous insects or diseases are pres
ent. The serious abundance and rapid
progress of peach yellows Is the main
drawback to peach culture.
While large part of the county is
mountainous and devoted to mining and
numbering, one not familiar with condi-
lions would be astonished at the num-
Der and beauty of the th,ifty farms
which cover the valleys and hillsides in
the most picturesque manner. The
members of the State Horticultural
Department were surprised at the eX-
tent of the agricultural land in districts
not before visited. They state that the
opportunity for orchard development in
this part Of the State is very encourage
ing.
Besides Hoyes meetings were held at
Bittinger, Swanton and Mason school
house. The speakers dwelt on the con-
troll Of injurious insects and diseases,
also told of plans for determination Of
mosquitoes and house flies.
