Against Railroad

The Southern Pacific was ordered to
pay 500 damages by a jury sitting in
Justice of the Peace Lawson's court
yesterday for having misinformed
John D. Gish, the lawyer, as to its
train service. Gish assretained by
Los Angeles client to attend the taking
of a deposition at WILLOWS, Glenn
county, on January II. 1910. In
quiring at the offices of the Southern
Pacific, he was informed that the train
leaving at 11:4D p. m. reached Willows
at 5:47 a. M, and he bought a ticket
and sleeping accommodation for the
night of January 16.
When he reached the Oakland mole
that night he learned, however, that
since the first of the year the train had
been running up the eastern side of
the valley and did not go through Will
lows.
Gish went to Willows by the train
leaving the following morning, but
when he arrived there the witness had
been discharged: and no deposition
could be taken. He sued the corpora
tion for $3.50 damages.

SIGNIFICANT REPORT ON
AMERICAN CROPS.

4 few days ago there was published
in these columns an extract from the
report of the agricultural department
of Michigan, showing that Aliehigan's
fruit crop was in excellent condition,
despite the early belief that it had
been wiped out by frost and blizzard.
Now comes an equally interesting
wheat report, from the financial
columns of a New York newspaper:
It is. perhaps. important 70 recall at
this jUucture the terrifying stories Of
injury 10 the winter wheat crop that
circulated in May Now the indi-
cations are that the winter wheat
yield in the same districts from which
these tales Y. ere sent in the spring
will be the largest on record. Mean
while the promise continues unaitcred
for good crops Of cotton and corn.
Why IS ii that every year every
American crop is ruined-from peaches
in Michigan TO cotton in TeXas-and
that every ear, along about THIS time
or a little later, we find the sane old
stupendous output is assured? Are a
foolish people easily scared, or Is
somebody playing a monstrous joke on
us with a many-sided publicity bureau.
