ABOUT CALIFORNIA
AND CAL|FORN|AAS
RESIDENT OF THE STATE RE.
LATES AN IMPRESSION WHICH
WAS MADE IN BOSTON,
BELIEVED ALL LIARS

Californians have a wonderful state
and they know it. They are twenty
four hour boosters all the time, rain
or shine. They are proud of their
state and are justified in great meas
ure in their personal elation.
Boston Folk Think Them Liars
A Californian related an amusing
incident which throws some light on
the wonders of the state and at the
same time bears witness of the hesi-
fancy with which the statements are
sometimes received. Years ago a man
who had spent his life in Boston de-
cided to locate in California and in
tiIne became very enthusiastic over
the commonwealth. After residing in
the Golden Gate state for a number
of years he decided to pay visit
to the friends he left behind in the
city celebrated for the flavor of baked
beans, and crossed the continent on
one of the limited trains, in due time
arriving at his former home. When
he reached the establishment where
he had been previously employed, his
former cO-workers gathered about him
and listened to his story of the won
ders of the commonwealth Among
the things for which California is Gel
ebrated he mentioned the following:
He first said that California was
so large that eighteen states the size
Of Massachusetts could be carved
from it and there woud still remain
enough land for another small New
England state.
California has the oldest and big
gest trees in the world
California has geysers, petrifed
forests and other wonderful natural
wonders
California has the largest wine tank
in the world, the grape juice recep-
tacle holding half million gallons.
California grows the best raisins
and other excellent fruit
California has large oil fields some
of the wells being located in the Pa
cific ocean
One county, Lake, has more miner
al springs than all Europe.
San Francisco is recently built
city, the stores being more modern
and more beautiful than those Of
Boston The merchants display finer
goods, the women wear more dia-
monds, the men are better dressed,
and the city as whole has a more
metropolitan appearance.
California pays the highest wages
to teachers, has excellent schools, fine
universities, medical schools of high
standing and the state as whole is
noted for it's health-giving climate.
After the California man had mar.
rated all of the above his hearers
shook their heads and the more they
pondered over the statements the
more they doubted.
In due time another one Of their
number went from Boston TO the
west and he was urged to find out the
truth of the whole matter. After he
had been in California about year
and had travelled extensively in the
state he wrote back to his Boston
friends that all the statements pre-
viousIy made were true, in fact, more
than true. He was curious to know
how his letter was received by all
his former companions and wrote to
Boston to find out. The reply came
as follows: Sorry, but you have be-
come just as big a liar as the rest of
them"
Politics in California
California will no doubt cast q big

.BLUEBERRIES ARE
ABOUT HARVESTED

The blueberries have about all been
harvested, according to reports from
the northern part of the state. They
have been selling in Baraboo at about
16 cents per box. On account Of more
and more of the land being cultivated
it is predicted they will be higher in
price in the future.

way to Milwaukee and Chicago when
death overlook Mr.. Marriott. During
the hot weather Mr.. Marriott stated
that he was not in the best Of health
and his work with the board of re-
view day after day was very taxing.
He was one of the bondsmen for the
former city treasurer and the accounts
of that official being found short about
81 800 caused him much worry. He
desired to clear the matter up as soon
as possible and deeply regretted that
the affairs in the city hall had gotten
into such tangle. The hot weather,
duties as city assessor and worry no
doubt weakened his system and made
him an easy prey to heart disease.
The news of his death was received
by his many relatives and friends in
Baraboo and vicinity with the deepest
regret.

He continued in the shoe business

up the active duties of the store. The
firm was first incorporated with his
two sons as active partners. Other
changes followed and the store is

Mr.. Marriott was a member of the

time it was a village until the present
time.
