Attitude of the Captain of Modern
Ocean Liners Toward Passen-
gers Entrusted to His Care.

New Yurk-Ever since the Titanic
disaster there has been much discus
sion relative to the extent to which
the officers of big liner mingle So
cially with the passengers. The
statement has been made that many
captains of big ships nowadays pay
great deal of attention to the social
side of voyage and spend a great
deal of time promenading with pas
sengers or chatting with them in the
lounge or the smoking room when
their attention ought 10 be devoted to
the ship.
Persons who have been crossing the
ocean ever since the days 5000 ton
ship was called a "leviathan" say that
the amount of general sociability on
ship has steadily diminished with the
increase in the size of vessels. In the
days when there were three long ia
bles In the dining saloon, with the
captain presiding over the middle one.
the purser at the head of another and
the doctor commanding the third. the
captain frequently knew everybody by
name. Anyhow. everybody knew the
captain and said Good morning" to
him, for in those days everybody in
the first cabin got to know everybody
else.

Boosting an incalculabe wealth Of
undeveloped agricultural and horticul'

tain, though unestimated, mineral and
timber resources, the enormous hold

the late Gen. Beale have clung stead
lily to the old regime in their manage

The name of Gen. Beale. scholar,

San Joaquin Valley Acres Now
in Business Hands.
TETON Ranches, With More Than 276,-
900 Acres of Land, Constitutes
One Of the Very Few Great
Tracts Left.

Los Angeles, Cal.-One by one the
great ranches Of old California, the i'm
mense grants Of early days. the lordly
domains Of wheat and barley mag
mates. have melted away before the re-
lentless sweep OF progress. For half
a century and more the change has
been going On, the passing Of each
vast rancho marking swift epoch in
the history of some section of the
state. The subdivision of the first
great rancho in California may be said
to have marked the passing of feud-
alism Of the soil in this western world
for the old California was in truth al
most a land of overlords, and even
supported something like a peasantry
population all its own. And yet some
thing may be justly said in defense Of
the pioneers, both Spanish and Ameri
can, and Of the pastoral system of that
early day. There was then known no
such thing as the system of small
farms and comparatively dense agri-
cultural settlements which marked,
and now more than ever mark, the
east and central west In California
land had to be acquired, if acquired at
all, in immense tracts.
Between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, here and there in the mighty
reaches OF the San Joaquin valley, and
interspersed like exaggerated white
squares on the curious checkerboard
whose black squares, representing
acres of something that perchance may
be called intensive" agricultural de-
velopment, greatly predominant, may
still be found a few of the oldest
ranches of old days. Most Of them, 1t
is true, are more or less under the
sway of the surveyors rod and the
modern idea, but few (you. can count
them on one hand) are almost as they
were a half century ago.
Such a place is the great tract now
known az the TETON Ranches" the
original Cen. Beale rancho, which lies
we'll at the bottom of the San Joaquin
valley, in the elbow formed by the
Sierra Nevada and the Coast range.
The recent sale of this vast pastoral
empire to a group of Los Angeles land
buyers makes the sensation of the
year in California real estate circles.
Forty years ago, in his interesting
volume. California, Book for Trav-
elers and Settlers" Charles Nordhoff
declared the TETON to be the most
magnificent estate in a single hand
in America" And Mr.. Nordhoff, who
was the correspondent of the New
York Herald, had trayersed continents
in the service Of his paper.
The TETON Ranches. with their more
than 276,000 acres of land, constitute
one of the very few great tracts of the
old days which has not through all
the years lost a whit of its identity
