JAMES CONLEY RETURNS FROM
AN EXTENDED TRIP THROUGH
CALIF0RNIA-MAKES INVEST

THE best grape lands of Napa

said James Conley this morning, who
has just returned from an extended
trip through California, where he
went with an idea of making some
investments in fruit lands.
1.-THE valley of the Napa river is
the center of the wine-growing dis
trict of California" continued Mr.
Conley, ''and it's vineyards and it's
mineries are noted for the excellence
of their product. The soil is an
adobe and retains it's moisture well
and has no need for irrigation. The
valley is one continuous vineyard,
and grape growing for wine is the
principal industry. Wineries are
found every few miles throughout
the valley, and the grower is at no
great expense to market his product.
The prices of these lands range

THE chicken industry is another
thriving business in this part of Cal

Chickens are raised in great quanti-
ties and are allowed to run unmo-
Tested among the vineyards, except
for few weeks while the grapes are
ripening. 1t is claimed that they are

because they keep down the insect
pests. The great chicken for Cali

can see them everywhere by the
hundreds. These and the white leg
horns are more numerous than any
other kind"
Mr.. Conley has decided to buy
about 15 acres of grapes in Napa

N s4s. ,Sct
There Is now better demand
especially for good municipal bonds
and inquiries concerning. the coming
issue are being received by Con
troller Nickerson which indicate the
issue is attracting wide attention on
the bond market.
The city advertised last, November
to receive bids for issuing bonds in
the amount of $4,000, but owing
to the panicky conditions but one
bid was received, and the terms Of
that were so unsatisfactory that the
officials threw it out and decided to
call for bids on the issue art "a more
opportune time, The new -eall is
dated for March IS, and bond buy
ing centers are already taking no.
tice of the issue.
One of the letters of inquiry
states the present condition of the
bond market in the following tepms,
showing encouragement in the sit
uation:
The consensus of opinion of rep
resentatives of the leading bond
houses of the city is that the general
outlook in the municipal fed for
1908 is encouraging. High-cfass
mun1cipals are cheap enough now to
attract the most conservative invest
oors, and after period of depression
or panic, municipal bonds are usual
ly the first to attract purchasers.
owing to the security back of them.
"While.it is undoubtedly true that
"a large number of municipalities
which failed to placentheir bonds in
1907, and those which have author
lied issues ready. will seek to place
them in 1908, it is thought that the
market will be In a condition TO alb
sorb all offerings at satisfactory
prices.
The steady improvement in bond
market conditions is fast bringing
the municipal bond market down to-
per cent level. The dividing
line may be said to have been cross
ed January 13, when Springfield,
Mass, succeeded in disposing OF
ss95,00o per cent bonds at fri-
ne better than par.
The demand for longtime mu-
ntcipals still continued a feature OF
the general bond market, with the
visible supply much less than the
demand. In the last two weeks saw
1ngs banks have begun to make
their appearance in the market. and
