ANNOUNCEMENT TO ONION
 GROWERS

We, the California Seed Growers Co.,, have grown for Texas Onion- growers several carloads of Crystal Wax Onion Sets We shipped one carload, withholding the balance for instructions when to ship. No in structions arrived; we sent our rep resentative to Texas to ascertain the cause. He has just returned with the surprising information that on ac- count of the drought, comparatively few onions have been planted, and with little prospect of a crop from what has been planted. We there fore believe it wise for the onion growers in the Imperial Valley to plant sets at once. They will ma ture by May first, which is early enough in a bare market. As an in ducement we will offer Crystal Wax Onion sets on orders of 800 pounds and over, at six cents per pound, the same price the Texas growers paid for their sets two months ago. or seven cents per pound on orders less than 800 pounds. One pound of sets Is now equal to one and a half pounds two months ago, on account of the shrinkage, Samples will be furnish ed upon application, Decide at once, and order immediately.

Of the death, ct his home ia jackson,

suffered some time. He not long ago
went to the hospital At Rochester,

surgeons there decided was useless and
hopeless.
MIR. Mallahan began his work on the
COURIER In June, 1872, before the paper
was year old. He remained editor
and proprietor until January, 1891,
with the exception Of one year when
Gebrge Hass0n, Ira l.. Nichols and
Gift Collins presided over its destinies.
For seventeen and one half years he
was the active editor OF this paper, q
longer period than any other editor
and almost half OF the existence of the
COURIER. During this time he served
as postmaster, county clerk, and sever
al legislative clerkships. He has
many and warm friends here,
where he passed the best days OF his
life and his death is deeply mourned
by many friends here.
