BARRON ESTATE IS
DEFEATED IN SUIT

The third complaint of the b. Barron
estate company against the Woodrun
construction company, claiming $780,
900 damages for alleged fraud in con-
nection with the building of the Bel
Ievue hotel at Geary and Taylor streets.
was knocked out on demurrer by Judge
seawen yesterday and Judgment en-
tered for the defendant.
The Barron estate alleged that 5. H.
Woodruff. president of the defendant
compafy. agreed to erect the building
for $500. 600 When all the bills came
in il was found the structure cost $500
900. and the owners sued for the di1-
ference.
The court held with Attorney Walter
Linforth. representing the Woodrun
company. that even assuming that
Woodruff said the cost would be only
$500. 600. il was a mere expression OF
opinion and, whether right or wrong.
was not actiOnable Woodruff said
that after the contract was signed. tn
price of labor Increased enormously and
in order TO completes the building as
required the mechanics worked at
night, necessitating the payment OF
double wages. Besides this, an extra
floor was added to the plans.
E. 5. de Wolfe. now manager Of the
Granada hotel, had a contract with the
Barron estate to lease the hotel. but
his rent was prop0rtiOned to the cost
of construction. The amount he was
called upon 10 pay increased so heavily
over the first estimates that he drew
out of the contract.
A suit against the estate by the
woodruff company for $4,000, as the
balance due for the erection of the
building. is pending in Judge Muras-
ky-s court.

Nearly a third of all the manufac-
turing plants in California in 1906 were
in San Francisco. and the gain in num-
her Of plants for this city in FIVE years
was SOB. On this basis OF gain, if the
investigation undertaken by the Mer-
chants association shall show the In
crease to have equaled that between
1900 and 1905. San Francisco will be
found TO be the seat Of more than
200 factories of various kinds. which
statement is of great Importance.
In FIVE years Los Angeles made an
increase in the number of its manu-
featuring plants. as compared with
1900. amounting to ESQ, or 52.4 per cent.
with an increase Of $19,6SO,7T9 or 1870
per cent increase in the value Of manu-
factured products. San Francisco's
gain IN value of products was $780,

Cottonseed meal is fine for putting

The cheap ram is heavy handi-

A few good animals Of any kind

Do not undertake to winter unpror-

Autumn leaves are too valuable to

Wood asnes, especially those from

The hired man who is rough with
the farm stock should be invited to
look elsewhere for a job.
There is still a whole lot for every
farmer to learn about corn. We have
not found the ideal yet.
If the working hours are reasonable
from your farm give it the kind Of
care that will make it produce large
crops.
Don't stop work just because the
crops have stopped growing. Get ready
for next year.
Saving the seed corn so as to get
the best yield next year is an i'm
portant task just now.
From four to six loads of manure
to the acre, put on with a spreader

In many instances the crops this
year are outclassing the much adver-
tised estimates.
Fall blowing usually works up in
a more mellow and friable shape in
the spring.

EVENING
-CH1-CHA1

There is one subject over which
have held my pen poised for some
months in doubt whether l dared at
tack it and whether you had not
heard too much about it already.
Most of the great pens of the last
decade have settled down upon 1t at
one time or another, and almost every
body, from the age of II up, has dis
cussed it more or less.
Have you guessed what it is
Why, Platonic friendship, of course.
What Ebert Hubbard says of debts
of honor a great many people will echo
of Platonic friendship.
LAS for debts of honor, they are
not"
To me it seems a sad thing to be-
lieve that it is impossible for any man
and women to be sufficiently high
minded to take pleasure in each
others society without any thought of
sex, to feel for each other "a pure
spiritual Notwithstanding the
mind only" which is the dictionary
definition of Platonic friendship.
But I'm not going to try to- prove
it's existence, because you might as

friendship an impossibility, change his

What I want to say on the subject,
what I have been mediating about so

Sheep profits are sure and readily
obtainable.
Cold air will not injure sheep but
a wet coat often proves dangerous.
Sheep will eat brush but they will
not get very fat on such a diet
Even the farmers are getting fond
of burning the gasoline along the
highway
Lice are a pest no matter where
found upon the farm Keep them off
the poultry, hogs, COWS, sheep and
horses.
The country is the right place to
raise chickens. That's why the city
must depend upon the country for its
brains.
Why, certainly the machinery should
all be under shelter by this time.
Some men take care Of all the tools
but the wagons and sleighs. They
need shelter as much as the mowers
and plows.
Keep the land free from weeds by
burning the seed
The census takers will be glad to
find the men who have been keeping
account of their farm work
The income should always outclass
the outgo if you would keep on the
safe side.
The successful farmers capital will
be rs per cent brain.
New Blood is a stimulus in all de-
partments of farm work, new seed,
new stock, new energy.
Winter is the season when we
store up thoughts, plans and energy for
next years work. Nothing will help
you like good paper
A few more conveniences and COM
forts would do much to keep the young
folks interested in the farm.
The uses Of the automobile upon
the farm are many, especially upon
the dairy farm.
Beginning small is the right plan In
all farm operations.
Fine poultry netting can be used to
keep away rats from the buildings.
The feed grinder on the farm is
great economy. Ever figure it out?
There is no danger of OVERRIDING any

All this must be corrected with time,
