A Letter From California
Middletown, Lake Co., Cal.
March 8, 1910.

March 3, 191O.
Dear Editor:
I guess you think / am a long
time dead but 1 am as full of
ginger as a two year old. 1 went
to Madeline Meadows, that irri-
cation proposition, and counted
it big fake. l am now located
in Lake county in Long Valley,
one mile out of Middletown, a
place of about $50 population.
We have 4SO acres of land here,
$50 of which is perfectly level
bottom land, good alfalfa land
and about 5000 cord of wood.
There are 80 acres of wheat
about one foot high and it looks
fine. We will have about 100
acres of natural grass hay to cut
and will begin haying about the
Doth of May. Hay is $50 per ton
here.
We got 10 head of horses with
this place, mostly young; also
some cattle, two new moving
machines, three gangs, one is a
disc pillow, ten set of fine heavy
harness, a complete blacksmith
shop, good new six room house
and three big hay barns.
We have spring water in the
house, piped springs one mile
away over on the hills.
We have a five-acre oak grove
in front of the house, some trees
of which some are five feet tall
and over. We have running water
in every direction on the place..
This is all fenced and cross
fenced.
The agent, today, asked me if
I would sell at a gain of $4,000, so
you see, Shorty, I am not a dead
one. Ha! Ha! Mother is delight
ed with the place. We just got
moved in. Ben is here with me.
1 see lots of fellows here from
Kansas and more coming and
some going back to die in Kan
sas. They can't die here. We
are within twenty miles of about
twenty different spring resorts
of all kinds of minerals. We
have a petroleum spring on this
place, which they claim to cure

Well, 1 can't think of much
more only the weather is fine

Chicago Coal Famine Averted.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Executive heads
of railroads entering Chicago forgot
that yesterday was Sunday, and don.
ming old clothes went into the yards
of the different roads and worked with

enough coal into the city to place the
recently passed crisis beyond any
chance OF return.
About zoe, 600 tons of coal we're de-
livered in Chicago as q result of the
work done yesterday. This is enough
to add another days supply to the
small surplus gained the latter part
Of the week However, all danger Of q
coal famine gripping the city has not
passed. Three or four days of favor.

Packers Control Meat Supply.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-Coincident
with the disclosure of the mean by
which the price of milk to "the ulti.
mate consumer" in New York was
advanced November first at a secret
meeting of the Consolidated Milk ex.
change from eight to nine cents a
quart, comes a report that the western
packers are taking a fresh grip on
the control of the local supply of
meats.
1t is alleged that Armour and COM
pany. Swift and company and other
affiliated packers have obtained q
dominating interest in a half dozen of
the largest independent local meat
wholes alers, including the company
organized by local retailers, to fight
the so.called "meat trust"

have been ordered to report exhaus.
lively on the cost Of production and
"the returns of sales of all sorts OF
food products"
The secretary gives it out as his
opinion that there is "ample excuse
for some of the increased cost of liv-
ing over what it was years ago. The
farm area, he says, is not keeping
pace with the demands for foodstuffs.
BE recognizes the fact that the cities
seem to have more attractions for the
laboring men than do the rural com.
munities. 1.-THE horde of immigration,
as we'll as the ever-increasing popula-
ton, must be fed, and the farm is ex-
pected to furnish the food"
That 10 all in the nature of talk
which has been repeated SO frequently
that 1t has become commonplace. But
there Is q remark made by Secre-
tary Wilson which deals with an az.
pect of the case in q way worth notic-
ing. "We have already discovered"
he Gays, that that farmer Is not get
ting the exorbitant profits" of which
go much Is said. The secretary spe-
CITES beef, but makes his remarks ap-
plicsble to other farm products. An
intelligent man having q fairly good
idea with respect to farm conditions,
need not be q secretary OF agriculture
In order to know what the secretary
Of agriculture says Is true.
There has been more nonsense In
circulation, within the past year or
two, concerning the farmers profits
than with respect to any other aspect
in current industrial life in this coun-
try. Beyond Q doubt q large part Of
the talk started months ago, in re-
marks about the overstated rich re.
turns from farming, was of jocular
intent. A peculiar thing is that it vas
repeated and passed on and on until
1t was taken seriously by the very
large public, which has no accurate
idea of the facts about farming.
In large percentage the current com.
ment has dealt with Q myth. In many
of the old, large states. where the
centers of population and of con-
sumption are, farming has been es.
sentislly prof1tless in recent years
and the tendency of prices for farm
lands has been q steady decline, but,
of course, it has not been the same
with regard to new conditions on
western lands.
1t is probably true, as has often
been charged by those having knowl.
edge OF the subject, that there is too
much careless farming. But, even At
that, taking the country at large, there
is q great deal of mondern-day talk
about the profits of farming which,
by a generous margin, isn't so.-Ana-
cOnda Standard.

THE HUDSON RIVER.
Il Has Been Known by at Least TWEEN.
ty Different Names,


In the course Of the past 400 years
the Hudson has been known by at
least twenty different names, and even
today-in New York, at any rate-it is
indifferently referred to both as the
Hudson and the North river.
While Henry Hudson is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer of the no
BILE river which bears his name, it is
well known that nearly a century be-
fore Hudson's successful exploration
John da V%errazano, a Florentine, en-
tered the mouth of the Hudson and re-
ported that he had passed up the river
about a league in a boat. not %venturing
to sail his vessel. the Dauphine. up a
river with which he was unfamiliar.
A sudden squall impelled him to re-
turn to his ship. Verrazano called the
Hudson 1.-THE river Of steep hills" This
was in 1924. Some years later Verra-
zano's brother made a map Of the re.
gion. and he named the mouth Of the
Hudson "San Germano."
In 1926 a Spaniard named Gomez.
who came to America on an exploring
trip, made a chart upon which he des-
ignated the Hudson as "San Antonio"
When some eighty years later Henry
Hudson in his efforts to reach the East
Indian possessions of the Dutch East
India company by a northwestern
route accidentally ran into the Hudson
he promptly dubbed it the "Manhattes."
from the name Of the Indians who
dwelt at its mouth.
Hudson sailed slowly up the river as
far as Albany, and his experiences
with the Indians and his observations
of the surrounding country were so
gratifying that he returned home with
glowing reports Of the new found
country.
The Dutch at once realized that great
commercial advantage might be gained
in the new territory, and various COM
panies We're organized to %colonize and
exploit it.
In 1916 a charter was granted to the
New Netherlands company, and the
river was there referred to as Ode Ri
Were van der Worst Mauritius" in hon.
or of Prince Maurice of Orange.
In various other charters granted at
this time and public documents in
which the river was mentioned it was
spoken of as the "Groote Riviere," the
"Noordt river" the "River Of the Man.
hattans" and the 'Rio de Montague"
In addition to these names, the In.
dams had a number Of others for it,
among which may be mentioned "Sa'
natatea," "Shawnatawty," "Cahohata'
tea' and "Cohongorontas."
AS late as 1854 the river was referred
to by a French writer as the "Rivel
Orange"
When the English took possession OF
New Netherlands they persistently
called the river "Hudson's river" and
despite the many other James by
which it was known that name finally
"stuck." although many Of the early
colonists spoke of it as the North river
in contradistinction to the Delaware
river, which was commonly known al
the South river Cincinnati Enquirer.
