BIGGEST OAK TREE

Gridley, a town near the Feather River claims the distinction of hay ing the largest oak tree in the world. The tree is 25 feet inches in cir conference four feet above the ground. In 1876 a much larger oak stood in the middle of Capay Valley, Yolo County, and if it still stands it makes the Gridley oak look like a sapling The Capay oak, measured by the writer in 1876, was 39 feet in circumference and the spread of its branches covered a circle 125 feet in diameter The tree was perfectly sound and very symmetrical.

HOMES FOR MILLIONS
imperial Valley Compared with the Best Farming Country in
 Europe.

Here is the possibility in this one Imperial county of planting prosper ous population equal to half that in Belgium; but practicing conservatism let us put the figure at a million. Surely there is no exaggeration in stating that this county, with it's i'm mense area, nearly all of good land, so large a part of it under the finest irrigation system in the world and ca pable of the most intense cultivation, with soil as rich as that of any in the Nile valley, and with climate as sim liar to Egypt's as is the soil, may con- fidently look forward, and not far. to the time when a million human be- ings will be supported in affluence up on these rich bottom lands of the Colorado river The products of Bel gium are mostly grass and cereals, with a considerable sprinkling of de- ciduous fruits The products of the Imperial Valley will be six times as uluCn grass per dCIS tS COulSS Ou Ol the best lands in Belgium. crops of corn more abundant than those har- vested on the best prairie lands of H. linois or Iowa, and then, most profi- table of all cotton of the true Egyp- tian variety, worth twice as much as the best sea a-island cotton grown in South Carolina.
 We do not care to look ahead half a century or more when our popula- tion will approximate in density that of Belgium. But judging from the way things are moving in the great Southwest in these days of wonderful progress, in a comparatively short time we may expect to see in Imper- ial valley a million souls, or nearly that, all living in conditions of un- usual prosperity.-LosA Angeles Times

COUNTY ASSESSOR WINS

Judge Franklin ]. Cole has decided in favor of the defendant in the case of Imperial County vs. County As sessor Fred Fuller, in which the county sought to recover money re- tained by Fuller as commission on amounts collected by him before county's yearly tax rate was set and which proved in excess of the rate finally adopted. Judge Cole held that the County Assessor was entitled to commission on all tax money he col lected. It is possible the case may be appealed.

swering this attitude. the Legislature

The State Anti-Saloon League held
its convention almost within stones

there laid stress on the 'martyrdom of

jury, and 1t was necessary to bring
hundreds of talesmen up for examina-

While a large number of talesmen
have been examined and excused as in
eligible, much Of the time has been con-
sumed in passing upon the character
Of prospective jurors, especially as re-

Our State is passing through the

uttered feelingly by Governor VI. II.
Patterson of Tennessee in his second
inaugural address, had reference to the
trial of Colonel Duncan NJ. Cooper,
Robin Cooper and John Sharp, former
sheriff. who are charged with the muir
der of Edward w. Carmack, who repre-
sented his State six years in the Uni
ted States Senate. The sentiment
echoed back from every part of the
State, and more than ever it focused
the mind and the thought of Tennessee
On the stirring drama that hes been
going on at Nashville. The trial is
more than a battle for the forfeit or
saving Of life. In the background is a
great political play, wherein the char
acters clash and tense feelings ere at
odds. What the end may be robody

Patterson here quoted are read Eot only
