California as Erult Producer

Christian Science Monitor: Although
lhe number III farms in California in
1910. aa shown hy the United States
census of that Year. WA. greater by
about 10000 thn in 1900. ana al
/ though mi, ratio If increase has con
,uucl III tho present census 50 far,
yet only q small portion Of the avail
able agricultural and horticultural land
IS cultivated. This is especially true of
fruit lands. At the present time Cali
fOnia stands first. New York second
and Aichgan following in the produc-
. jion oG al tree fruits. In apples and
small fruits California is led by sons
other elolcs, but it ranks as premier in
/ The production of peaches, pears. plums
and prunes. cherries and grapes. IN
peaches it compels Georgia, New York
ana MICHIGAN to follow in the order
named: in pears il has passed New
YORK ana Michigan; it is followed by
| Oregon. Washington, New York, Penn
sylvania. Missouri. Ohio and Michigan
III the production Of plums and prunes; !;
by Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio ano
Michigan in cherries, and by New York
ana Michg7n in grapes.
If California We're cultivated as in
| lon-cly as some Of the smaller fruit
producing states its Yield would be
many times greater than it is at pres
out. As matters stand. it is still looking
for and inviting immigration. 1t must

And lhis may easily become the case

"Methinks" from Wayland

(ROcheSter Union and Advertiser,
The original poetry still comes in.
Here is a swallow flight Of song from
Steuben county:
Oh, woman. why. Oh. why
nost insist man TO annoy
Is there aught anywhere.
HAT can With thy sphere compare?
Man dies for You,
Man tolls for YOU
Man pleads for you.
Is there aught else he can do?
Is there office so rare
rs motherhood, modesty and gentle
ness?
Mother Of a Lincoln. mother Of hero
brave
WOuld'st thou change thy blessedness
For aught this poor world can give?
WUuld'st rather be maYOress Of city?
say truly Would'st thou give
Thy blessed state? Oh what pity
Ne choose woman brave.
Yea q woman brave.
And thereby rob maYh1p.
our land of hero. What If that
on. sad, sad fate:
Mcthinks my heart must break
Woman, frai woman.
Leave not thy happy state.
What tho We gain
This whole earth,

and thus prove disloyal to Gods in 4
tent. Marie Gougler
Wayland, \. T.. April 2S 1913.
This is very good poetry but we
think it is too gloomy. All of our poets
seem to run to that sort of thing. II
IS always the old graveyard, the dark
shadow of the cypress tree, the under
aker sitting on his wagon with tail
Is nothing to it but tears. idle tears.
We wish that our poets would cheer

STAGE LINE BECOMING

\ few months ago an automohl'a

About the same time stage lines We're

WORK OF LEGISLATURE
ICoNTINUED FROM PAGE oNEl

1t is intended that this inventory shall
show how much of the water in our
running streams and lakes has already
been appropriated under the laws of
this state, and has been applied to some
useful and beneficial use, and Incl
dcntally such an inventory will show
lake has not been 50 appropriated and
IS available for such purposes. The
value Of such an inventory cannot be
overcslimated. The people Of this
state own all the water which is within
it. But the people have permitted such
water and The use thereof to go into
private ownership under laws enacted
for The regulation and control of such
taking Of water. Today we have no
idea how much of our water has been
50 taken. No business man would think
Of conducting his business in such
way. We are expecting a very large
influx of population from Europe in the
near future The development of our
arabic lands has just commenced. We
shall need every drop Of water in the
state for this purpose, and it will be
necessary for us to ecOnOmiZe in the
use thereof, in order to secure the
greatest amount Of Benefit to the people
Of the state thcrefrom. In order to
accomplish this result, it is vitally ne
ccssary to learn at the earliest mo
mcut possible how much Of the waters
Of The state are stll in public owner
Ship ana where such waters are 10
Gated, and to what extent such waters
are available for purposes Of irriga-
tion, as we'll as for the development
of power.
THE water commission bill will en-
able the state 10 secure revenue Of

on water power hereafter developed.
This revenue will more than pay the
cost of maintaining The machinery Of

Sudden Death At Ridgeway.

-
E A. Bakken. who for the past twen-
ty years has conducted general store
in Ridgeway, died suddenly At about
three o'clock yesterday afternoon af-
ternoon. He has been suffering for a
few months past with Gastritis or gas
on the stomach, which caused fainting
spells. He-has, however, been around
all the time and apparently in good
health. Thus his untimely death which
came without q moments warning was
great shock to his family and the
community.
He was sitting at his desk when he
felt one of his spells coming on and he
motioned to his wife, who was in the
store, and they went up stairs. He
took off his coat and cap and sat down
in chair. He told his wife that he
guessed he had bad spell this time.
Doctor Kaasa was sent for and arrived
within FIVE minutes. He tried to tell
the doctor about his condition and the
doctor told him he had better lie down,
but death had claimed him and he fell
back, dead within fifteen minutes from
the time he had left the store. Ridge.

No Paving This Year.

At the regular meeting Of the City
Council held Monday evening, their
action Of Jan. 18th ordering in paving,
was rescinded.
It was first proposed to assess cost
Of street and alley intersections to-
abutting property owners, but so much
opposition developed that this feature
was abandoned. A little figuring dem-
-onstrated that the cost Of these inter-
sections If borne by the city would
bring the city debt dangerously near
its legal limit, and as the new reservoir
must be paid for and other improve
ments taken care of. it was deemed
advisable to not incur the paving ex-'
pense at present.
