a million cans short of the orders re-
ceived. With favorable season next
year, the company will undertake to
put out 100000 cans. This will

that score, as the patrons are so
we'll pleased with the results obtained
that many are already asking to have
their acreage increased.

Humboldt.
Humboldt has secured and stands
ready TO present to the county the
space of ground the supervisors of
Humboldt county have chosen as the
most desirable for the. court house. 1t
is the ground-ten by fifteen rods
sauare-that lies between the Baptist
and Lutheran churches, and just north
Of the Catholic church. It Is undoubt-
edly the handsomest and best location
that could be selected, and Humboldt
holds an option for its sale and the
cash to pay for it and turn it over to
the county If the voters OF the county
decide by their votes to remove the
county seat to Humboldt. Humboldt
has never boasted that she would build
a court house nor has she made any
other silly claims: but she has done
just what she said she would do.
