Sequel there is a paper mill. The port
land cement plant represents another
important industry.
In its farm products Santa Cruz coun-
~ is particularly fortunate. 1t offers
innumerable sheltered locations. with
warm sandy soil and abundance of
water, admirably adapted TO the rais-
ing of poultry. There is an unusually
productive onion field in the southern
part OF the county. where the crop
avera ges 500 sacks to the acre. Pota-
toes are always heavy crop the yield
ranging from 2o0 10 400 sacks per acre.
LARGE EXPORT TRADE
As many as 500. carloads have been
exported in a season. The export bean
crop is about 80 carloads annually
Corn, wheat. barley and oats are large
and profitable crops, the record yield
for wheat being los bushels TO the acre.
There are between 2.o00 and 1900
acres of bearing vines in the county
yielding from two tons per acre for
choice wine grapes to as high as eight
tons per acre for other varieties. Wihe
grapes can be contracted for for a term
of years at $50 per ton and table grapes
fetch from $40 to 500 per ton The
light dry wines produced in this county
compare favorably with those of the
noted Bordeaux district in France. One

Dairying is another great source OF
profit to the county. Some of the dairies
carry as many as 300 cows Within the
county there are abont 1900 acres de-
voted TO the cultivation of strawber-
ries. raspberries. loganberries - the
beautiful and luscious fruit which orig
mated in Santa Cruz-and blackberries

These fruits yield from three to six
crops year and about 500 carloads are
marketed annually.
Among deeiduous fruits the apple
easily holds foremost place. The apple

world for its market and shipments are
yearly made to points as widely sepa-
rated as London. Australia and Alaska.
The annual shipment estimated by car
loads runs into many thousands Dur

Cruz in the year 1901. In the following
year the yield of the wells was about
1900 barrels daily. and the develop
ment Of the oil fields has barely begun.
A pipe line from the Coalinga oil field
in Fresno county. which produces IL
900 barrels daily reaches tide water
on Monterey bay within easy reach of
Santa Cruz IL viii thus be seen that
Santa Cruz has the benefit not only of
local production of oil. but also of out
side competition. The result is the
significant fact that the price of fuel
oil on this bay has been lower than at
any other point in California having
facilities for transportation by both
water and rail This means a com
bination of cheap power and low
freight rates. which has been taken
advantage of for manufacturing pur-
poses.
Lime rock of quality equal TO The
famous quarries in Maine is abundant
in Santa Cruz county. There are sew
eral companies engag ged in the lime busi-
ness. and the annual OUTPUT is about
300 600 barrels The great ledge is a
mile wide and eight miles long, and
there are 10000 acres of wooded land

this valuable ledge an9 has erected a

BEN LOMOND CHARMING SPOT
Nestled in the foothills of the Santa

Her mother said: aOh, dear! Isn't
that awful? What viii people think 2"
but the people themselves seemed to
think it about the prettiest incident
they had met that day.
She was very little girl, white
frocked, pink ribboned, brown eurled
With her mother she left the. subway
train at the Grand Central station. The
usual confusion prevailed. Tinnid trav-
elers grabbed suit cases and bundles
and exclaimed, ooh, do we change
heref" Trainmen on the platform
shouted out directions for local and
express trains and the guards of that
particular car adjured the passengers
frequently and yehemently to stStep
livelyw and to Watch the STEP Then
al Of sudden there was a lull in the
uproar. The little girl was leaving
the car. She stopped at the door, look
ed back. and waved her hand.
'Goodby, everybody" she said.
The words carried to the far end of
the car. They made every one sit up.
Two or three persons called out a re-
sponsive "Goodby," two or three said
"Bless the child" and all smi1ed.-New

Wakinu a Deaf Person.

ITO waken deaf person who wishes
to be called at a certain hour is about
the hardest proposition a hotel clerk
runs up against" said member of
that genial fraternity. 'To ring the
telephone Is useless because the man
couldn't hear If you rang until dooms-
day. Knocking, for the same reason, is
equally futile. Now and then guest
who has lost his hearing suggests that
he leave his door open all night SO we
can walk right in and shake him, but
even though he does appear to be a
dead game sport there are so many
chances Of somebody else less guileless
than ourselves walking In ahead Of us
that we cannot consent to that. So far
the only satisfactory way found for
waking deaf ledger is to tie string
to his wrist, pass the string through
the keyhole and then tug away at It
at the appointed time. That method,
however, is rather primitive. 1t seems
to me that the man who can patent a
harmless artistic device for waking the
deaf Is sure of fame and fortune, not to
mention the gratitude of hotel clerks"

The Sea Serpent.

When fourteen miles off the coast of
Brazil M. J Nicoll, author Of 'Three
Voyages of Naturalist" observed a
sea serpent which came within about
fifty yards of the ship. "All that we
could see was a dorsal fin about four
feet long sticking up about two feet
from the water. The fin was a brown
ish black color and much resembled q
gigantic piece of. ribbon seaweed. Be-
low the water we could Indirectly see
very large brownish black patch, but
could not make out the shape of the
creature. Every now and then the fin
disappeared below the water. Sud-
denly an eel-like neck, about six feet
long and Of the thickness of a mans
thigh, having head shaped like that
of turtle, appeared in front Of the fin,
lashing up the water with a curious
wriggling movement. . This creature
was an example, consider, Of what
has been so often reported, for want
OF a better name, as the great sea
serpent I feel sure, however, that it
was not reptile that we saw, but
mammal"

Preserving the Balance.

a well known professor Of architec-
ture, commonly referred to as Ham
my" by bis pupils, told a story illus
tratfve Of the remarkable degree to
which certain persons possess the sense
Of symmetry.
It seems that there was once a
Scotch gardener who had charge of a
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry, even the two summer
houses, one on each side of the garden,
being Identical in even the most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one Of the summer
houses. As soon as the Scotch garden
er heard of this his sense of symmetry
was so outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
up in the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance. sHammy' neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike, but it is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

Postage Stamp Gum.

Every time person ticks a United
States postage stamp he gets a taste
Of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is, made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider it the most
harmless preparation Of the sort. All
of the gum used on American postage
stamps is mixed by the government at
the bureau Of engraving and printing,
where the stamps are made. It is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, in a
liquid form, is forced up through pipes
from the basement, where it is made.
These pipes lead to series Of ma
chimes consisting Of rollers, between
which the sheets Of stamps are fed, one
at time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one Of
these rollers. The sheet with it's wet
coating Of sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into long horizontal
due filed with hot air. When it
energies at the other end of the fue
the gum Is dry.-New York Telegram. -

A Famous Story.


Every section has it's famous story.
A famous story that is being retold in
Oregon is about a very rich banker
who got his start by doing work for
the government. His bill was $4,000,
and 1t had to be submitted to congress.
Congress has a habit Of cutting it's
bills In two. To make allowance for
this he jumped his bill to $4,000. He
sent the bill to the governor for his
approval. The governor, having also
heard that congress generally appro-
pr1ated only half as much as was ask
ed, jumped it to $4,000. The bill was
then sent to one Of the congressman.
Being friendly to the contractor, be
jumped it to $4,000 and sent it to an
other Oregon congressman for his ap-
prevail. The second congressman jump
ed it to $4,000. Congress allowed the
whole $4,000, although the contractor
was entitled to only $4,000. This is
told as fact in Oregon. The man
who got the $4,000 got his start on
it and is now millionaire

The Palisades,

To see New York city from the Pail
sades Is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder Of the Palisades them
selves. One Of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur is that they lie so
close to the most artificial, man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip Verrill Mighels
In Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
Is like stepping to the edge of the
world, where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as If it were only
a part Of space, its countless lights
looking like millions Of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base of the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar Of the substantial city.
