LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Our Soldier Boys at Santa Monica. Our Correspondent Tells Us What the Guardmen are Doing at Camp Johnson—Governor Markham and Staff Review the Troops—Proposed Raise in the County’s Assessment—The Twilight Patent Is Dead—Other News of Interest. The second Southern California encampment of National Guards opened at Santa Monica last Saturday morning, and is to last until Monday next. Camp Johnson, as it has been christened, is composed of six companies of the 7th and six companies of the 9th Regiments, 1st Brigade, and as follows: Seventh Regiment—Companies A, C and F of Los Angeles; Company B of Pasadena; Company D of Pomona; and Company G of Anaheim. Ninth Regiment—Companies A, B, C, D, E and F of San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Ana and Pomona. The camp is pleasantly situated on Ocean avenue, on the bluffs, about a mile from the Santa Monica depot. There are about 180 tents, including the guardmen’s, officers’ staff’s quarters, mess tents and kitchens, and there are present about 500 men and officers. Santa Ana has the largest company present, being represented by 50 men out of 52, and Ventura has the smallest company, 18 men. The Ninth Regiment band is present, as is also the drum and bugle corps of the Seventh. In the absence of Grigadier-General E. P. Johnson the Brigade has been under command of Col. 891man, the senior Regimental commander. Our company G went to camp with 27 men, but the number is being increased daily by absentees coming in, and the attendance is good considering the large number who have removed from town or are absent on business. It may be interesting to compare the state of things at Camp Johnson with those at Camp Dimond at Pacific Beach two years ago, so that our readers may see how our boys are faring. Two regiments, comprising 12 companies are now in camp, whereas at Camp Dimond there were only 7 companies (the 7th Regiment.). The bill of fare is much better this year. Colonel Schrieber delivered the presentation address, which was responded to by the Major. All those who visited the encampment at Pacific Beach will pleasurably remember Major Peck and his baton; he is one of the ablest and best uniformed Drum Majors in the Union. The honor is well merited. Measurement of Water. EDITOR GAZETTE.—As I am credited in your last week’s edition, by Mr. Stadtegger, with introducing a new system of measurement for water, it seems necessary to make some explanations. A miner’s inch of water is defined (see Section 1415 of the Civil Code of California) as that quantity of water which will flow through an opening of one square inch, in the bottom of a vessel, under a pressure of four inches above the opening. Fifty of the above miner’s inches is equivalent to the discharge of one cubic foot of water per second. By careful comparisons with river measurements I find where the water flowing through an opening does not exceed six or eight inches in depth the number of miner’s inches can be computed by measuring the head or pressure from the center of the orifice. In regard to the gate in question, will state that when called on to measure the volume of water flowing through it, I found the opening to be 48 inches wide by 61 inches in depth and the head or pressure above the center of gravity, which is the center of the opening, equal to 71 inches by well-known formulas in hydraulics. This would give a discharge of 8.4 cubic feet per second, equivalent to 420 miner’s inches. We are willing for Mr. Stadtegger to call in any competent experts to verify the above measurements. H. C. Kellogg. Mr. Larsen Gives the City Solons a Few Pointers. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Last week I was handed the plans and specifications for the tank and frame for the city water works and in due time put in my bid for the same. As I had not read the advertisement in THE GAZETTE I did not know that it was required to accompany my bid with a certified check, and consequently did not do it, and the City Fathers rejected it, reported to THE GAZETTE that I did not comply with the law, and published the amount of my bid in said paper and the same time advertised for new bids. This was a fine piece of business, worthy of comment, and I shall give the solos a point or two regarding it. (First). That the only law a contractor is obliged to obey in figuring on and complete a job is the plans and specifications. My bid read to that effect. (Second). That if my bid was not excepted then it was simply a communication between the Board of Trustees and myself. THETWILIGHT NOT WANTED IN LAST THE PATH The Los Angeles seem at last to have no appointed a commission patent, and the commission on its purchase, as follows: To the Board of Supervisory Your committee, in Santa Ana for the purpose of the Board of Supervision regard to the purchase for fumigating trees, by W. T. Collins of San Andreas accompanied us therebors of the Board of County, also Messrs. B. Hiram Hamilton missioner of said county ange stated that the facility had not requested patent; that Mr. Trauth thorough, painstaking growers in the country with resin wash and wipe use of gas was much while he could get as far as he would not put use of gas. The result, for conclusive reason, the resin’would have no trees, but on large one would not be effective visors of Orange county not feel justified in such benefit of fruit growers culturalists are not opposed that if it was growers wanted it, they themselves. The result of the unanimous consummation Messrs. Collins and J wise or practicable for unite in the purchase... Proposed Raision: The State Board of Firefied County Clerk Wits: SIR:—Please take care Board of Supervisors of that the State Board examined the assessment book or roll for the county purposes to inspect roll or book for year, excepting proper crease, for the purposes conform to the value of the property containe oral E. P. Johnson the Brigade has been under command of Col. Spiderman, the senior Regimental commander. Our company G went to camp with 27 men, but the number is being increased daily by absentees coming in, and the attendance is good considering the large number who have removed from town or are absent on business. It may be interesting to compare the state of things at Camp Johnson with these at Camp Dimond at Pacific Beach two years ago, so that our readers may see how our boys are faring. Two regiments, comprising 12 companies are now in camp, whereas at Camp Dimond there were only 7 companies (the 7th Regiment). The bill of fare is much better this year than it was two years ago, and there are more conveniences, such as gun racks, washstands, etc., furnished to each tent. The camp is situated much nearer places of amusement, such as are to be found at Santa Monica, one mile away, whereas at Camp Dimond the nearest point of interest was San Diego, 20 miles away. The boys are free from duty from 11:30 in the morning till 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and after supper are allowed to remain outside the camp till 11 o'clock, whereas at Pacific Beach guard mount, inspection, battalion and other drills, dress-parade, etc., occupied nearly the entire day, and challenging commenced at 9 o'clock at which time every man had to be in camp and no lights were permitted. As an offset to those advantages may be enumerated the following "drawbacks": Military discipline is much more strict and more rigidly enforced than at the last encampment; in fact, an attempt is made to conduct the camp on strictly regular army regulations, and woe be to the guardman who disregards or fails to observe the "ukase." The bluffs at the camp are from 75 to 100 feet high and perpendicular, and those who wish to enjoy a dip in the old ocean must march down to the "stepa" a mile towards the depot. There are few, if any stingrays at the beach, however, and no poisonous insects in camp (except an occasional scorpion). The weather so far has been warmer than it was at Pacific Beach; the nights are comfortably cool. No liquors of any kind are allowed in camp (outside of the officers' quarters), but a "lemonade" stand is conveniently located just "across the line;" it is needless to say that it is well patronized. It is to be observed, as usual, that the officers take precious good care to attend to their pleasures, and take good care that the "poor private" attends to his duties. Take it all in all, we suppose the men have no reasons to complain. NOTES: Governor Markham and his staff and General E. P. Johnson were at the camp Monday and inspected the troops. Captain Lewis is easy on his men and is growing in popularity with the boys. He was Officer of the Day Monday, and Lieut. Browning was in command of the company. Corporal Landell is the handsomest "noncommissioned" in Company G. The ladies all cast their eyes in his direction—when they get the chance. Corporal Adams is the best-drilled man in our company. It is a pleasure to see him handle his musket. Lieut. Browning is the "heavy-weight" of the company. He has a commanding presence and also attracts the attention of the ladies. Sergeants Hatfield and Landell and privates Warling and Neippert were the advance detail to put up the tents and arrange the camp. They say they were kept "buyy;" and they enjoyed a rest Saturday while the Gazette I did not know that it was required to accompany my bid with a certified check, and consequently did not do it, and the City Fathers rejected it, reported to THE GAZETTE that I did not comply with the law, and published the amount of my bid in said paper and the same time advertised for new bids. This was a fine piece of business, worthy of comment, and I shall give the solons a point or two regarding it. (First) That the only law a contractor is obliged to obey in figuring on and complete a job is the plans and specifications. My bid read to that effect. (Second) That if my bid was not excepted then it was simply a communication between the Board of Trustees and myself, and not for the public, as the job was not let. (Third), That I suffer a pecuniary loss in having the amount of my bid published, as if I put in another bid, I must go below my former figures, as others now can use them, and, of course, will go below, let alone that I spent 4 hours' good time to come to the result above stated, and that others can reap the benefit of my labors. (Fourth), That if it is required to accompany a bid with a check it shall be mentioned in the specifications, and it surprises me that neither one of the solons knew that. H. P. LARSEN. A. U. W. Co. The Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co. met in regular session last Saturday. All members except Director Botsford were present. Mr. Strain of the Board of Audit reported that the examination of the books of the company would be completed by the next meeting. The Secretary sent bills to Directors Browning and Botsford for fines due for non-attendance, but had received no answers from them. Superintendent Sorenson read his report in regard to work on the ditches, which was read and filed. A warrant was ordered drawn on the Treasurer in favor of Peter Arimond for $200. It was ordered that the zaujeros be required to give bonds to the company in the sum of $500, and the Superintendent in the sum of $1,000; and that they be required to sign contracts as per the by-laws of the company. It was ordered that she declared vacant. Mr. McFadden was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Shepherd was elected vice president. The Secretary was instructed to write to A. Anderson and demand $4 from him for water delivered to C. Wagner, which has not been paid for. It was moved by Director Strain and seconded by Director Shepherd that the board ensure the action of Zanjero Kroeger in giving H. C. Gade water on the stock of Messrs Davis, Bauer, Jordan, Pallegrin and Rumpu; and that a repetition of such offense will necessitate his dismissal. Death of George Horn. Geo. W. Horn, who was well known here, was picked up unconscious at the corner of Alameda and Aliso streets in Los Angeles early Sunday morning, he having fell from a second-story window. He was conveyed to the receiving hospital, where he died two hours later. Horn went to Los Angeles last Saturday for the purpose of closing up a mining deal, for which he was to receive $1,000. He met an old friend of his in the city and after walking around town, they retired at 10 Corporal Landell is the handsome "non-commissioned" in Company G. The ladies all cast their eyes in his direction—when they get the chance. Corporal Adams is the best-drilled man in our company. It is a pleasure to see him handle his musket. Lieut. Browning is the "heavy-weight" of the company. He has a commanding presence and also attracts the attention of the ladies. Sergeants Hatfield and Landell and privates Warling and Neipp were the advance detail to put up the tents and arrange the camp. They say they were kept "buyy," and they enjoyed a rest Saturday while the other boys "worked." Company G's row of tents is the first one next to the mess tent—a rather advantageous position. The boys are always the "first there" at meal calls. The amount of catables which they punish is simply wonderful. There are, apparently, no consumptives or dyspeptics in camp. The first day seven men from Company G were drawn for guard duty, viz: Lieut. Browning, Junior Officer of the Guard; Sergeant Pellegrin, Senior Sergeant of the Guard; Private Crowther, orderly to the Colonel; private Norman and Schaumburger, third relief, and Private Goldthwaite, super-numerary, and one other. Orderly Crowther was excused after a few hours' duty, and he privately informed a guardman that he had a "soft snap" and rather enjoyed being on guard. Comrades Norman and Schau mburger were about exhausted by the time the new guard came to relieve them, and thought it had been the toughest job they had ever been put to. Private Frautz joined the camp Monday morning and Private Strodthoff left for the scene of war yesterday. General Dimond is expected at the camp to-day. A match game of base ball was played on Sunday between the Saventh Regiment's nine and the Tuffs-Lyon Arms Company's club, which resulted in favor of the latter by a score of 10 to 6. The heathen vegetable and watermelon peddler makes his regular daily visit to the camp, but he fights shy of the blanket corps. Experience is a wise teacher. It is said that Major Starin's horses playfully "bucked" his rider off on two occasions while on parade. There has evidently been a "falling out" between them. Company G has the boss cook. He does all his own baking too, and the table is well supplied with fresh bread, biscuits and pies. The darkey is a chef. A. E. Peck, Drum Major of the 7th Regiment, on Sunday was presented by the members of his Regiment with a beautiful sword in appreciation of his excellent services. Death of George Horn: Geo. W. Horn, who was well known here, was picked up unconscious at the corner of Alameda and Alino streets in Los Angeles early Sunday morning, he having fell from a second-story window. He was conveyed to the receiving hospital, where he died two hours later. Horn went to Los Angeles last Saturday for the purpose of closing up a mining deal, for which he was to receive $1,000. He met an old friend of his in the city and after walking around town, they retired at 10 o'clock. The supposition is that Horn laid down on the bed for a while, and getting up went to the window to get some fresh air. While seated at the window he evidently fell asleep, and losing his balance, fell out, striking on his head on the pavement below. Horn owned several undeveloped mines in the Santiago canyon besides several valuable claims in Nevada. His relatives are supposed to live in Missouri. The remains were brought here on Monday evening, and interred in the cemetery on Tuesday morning. Oscar Zeyn Receives the Watermelon Seeds: HERE ARE SOME SEEDS FROM YOUR LARGE MELON.

The Los Angeles Board of Supervisors seem at last to have awakened in the matter of the funigating or twilight patent. They appointed a committee to investigate the patent, and the committee reports adversely on its purchase, as follows: To the Board of Supervisors. —GENTLEMEN: Your committee, instructed to proceed to Santa Ana for the purpose of conferring with the Board of Supervisors of Orange county in regard to the purchase of a certain patent for fumigating trees, beg leave to report that W. T. Collins of San Bernardino county, and James L. Jones of San Diego county, accompanied us there. We met three members of the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, also Messas. Bishop, Wall and Jones, and Hiram Hamilton, Horticultural Commissioner of said county. S. Armor of Orange stated that the fruit growers of his locality had not requested the purchase of said patent; that Mr. Travis, one of the most thorough, painstaking and intelligent orange growers in the country, had treated his trees with resin wash and with good results. That the use of gas was much more expensive and so far he would not pay the extra cost for use of gas. The result, for conclusion, or our discussion there was to the effect that spraying with the resin would have a good effect on small trees, but on large ones with thick foliage, it would not be effective. The Board of Supervisors of Orange county claim that they do not feel justified in such expenditures for the benefit of fruit growers in which their agriculturalists are not equally benefited. They said that if it was of value and the fruit growers wanted it, they should purchase it themselves. The result of the investigation was the unanimous conclusion of your committee and Messas. Collins and Jones, that it was not wise or practicable for the several counties to unite in the purchase of the Bishop patent. Proposed Raise of Assessment. The State Board of Equalization has notified County Clerk Wickham as follows: SIR: Please take notice, and inform the Board of Supervisors of the county of Orange, that the State Board of Equalization, having examined the assessments upon the assessment book or roll for the year 1891, for said county, purposes to increase the entire assessment roll or book of said county for said year, excepting property exempt from increase, for the purpose of making the assessments conform to the true value, in money, of the property contained on said roll, so as to equalize the value of the taxable property of the several counties in the State. Kleinigkeiten. —Vote against the county high school. —Another large crowd was down at the Landing last Sunday. —Attention is called to the new time table of the Santa Ana railroad in another column. —Anaheim has one high school scholar Do we need a high school? No! Then vote against the county high school. —the members of the German Methodist Church will hold a conference in San Jose on the 15th of next month. —Who wants to send his children seven or eight miles to a county high school? Nobody! Then vote "No" on the 29th. —Attention is directed to the advertisement of St. Vincent's College of Los Angeles, which appears in another column this morning. —County Auditor Con Howes of Los Angeles died at his residence on Tuesday. He was well-known here. His large circle of friends will be pained to hear of his death. —Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: C. E. Easton, Leuise Kraemer, Mr. Palmer, E. Passas, S. M. Richardson, 3, Fred Teale, A. H. Wood. —the polls for the special election on the 29th will be held at the City Hall. Read the advertisement of it on the fourth page. And be sure to vote against the proposition. —P. A. Schaumacher, the Fullerton nurseryman, has a fine collection of rare roses and other plants of the most beautiful varieties. Those desiring plants should give him a call. —the Newport Lauding was formally opened on Saturday last. Large crowds from the neighboring towns availed themselves of the opportunity of going down on the new railroad. -Voters who were not registered at the last general election should register to vote against the county high school on the 29th, W. A. Witte is a registrar clerk. —the Escoudeid Irrigation District has made a contract with a New York firm for the development of a supply of water from the San Louis Rey river, at a probable cost of $5,000,000. —It is estimated that it will take two years to complete the new Bear Valley dam. The new structure is made necessary on account of the increased demand for water for California tubers worked in this manner. They would be in demand for consumption at sea and in tropical climates where the common potato cannot be grown to advantage. In this way, and by the establishment of starch factories with increase facilities for the prompt shipment of new potatoes to Eastern markets at the proper season, there need never be any waste of potatoes grown in this section. —The State Board of Equalization have notified the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county that they propose to raise their assessment, and have appointed the 21st inst., at Sacramento, for a hearing in the matter. The Supervisors have resolved to be on hand in a body, with a view of resisting the raise. —The partnership heretofore existed between Profs. Fox & Butler was dissolved on Tuesday. Frank Fox will continue to carry on the business at the old stand. Prof. Butler will leave for his home in Boston next week. He has lived here for several years, and has made a host of friends who will be sorry to hear of his departure. —a complaint was filed in the Superior Court on Tuesday by the Anaheim Union Water Company against J. S. Gardiner, ex-Secretary of the company, and his bondmen, D. J. Krasmer and Leonard Parker, to recover the sum of one thousand dollars, money of the company which is alleged Gardiner appropriated to his own use, and the further sum of one hundred dollars as damages for the illegal issuance by Gardiner of six shares of the company's stock. —Superintendent Sorenson of the water company, and O. V. Knowlton and F.C. Hazen have been rearrested on a charge of disturbing the gate in Yorba ditch. Warrants for the arrest of Hatfield, Abby and Koerner have also been issued, but as they are now serving their country with Company G at Santa Monica, they are exempt from arrest until after the encampment. The first complaints on which these people were arrested were dismissed on the grounds that the facts stated did not constitute a public offense. If the facts stated on the second series of complaints do not constitute a public offense, it is not for the want of trying, as we understand each complaint consists of three pages of type-written matter. PERSONAL MELANGE. Mrs. Adolph Rimpau and family have returned from the seaside. Aaron Anderson took a flying trip to Coquina last week. Tom Hull has gone into the grocery busi- Proposed Raise of Assessment. The State Board of Equalization has notified County Clerk Wickham as follows: SIR: Please take notice, and inform the Board of Supervisors of the county of Orange, that the State Board of Equalization, having examined the assessments upon the assessment book or roll for the year 1891, for said county, purposes to increase the entire assessment roll or book of said county for said year, expecting property exempt from increase, for the purpose of making the assessments conform to the true value, in money, of the property contained on said roll, so as to equalize the value of the taxable property of the several counties in the State for the purpose of taxation. The board will consider all objections which may be made to such increase at its office at the Capitol, at Saeramento, on Friday, the 21st day of August, 1891, between the hours of 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. Respectfully yours, Clerk State Board of Equalization. County Officials With a Finger in the Pie. Orange Post. All the arguments urged in favor of the establishment of a county high school at the county seat are very good as far as Santa Ana is concerned. There is no doubt in the mind of any one that such a school would benefit that city in many ways. The question is: "Will such an institution be of sufficient value to the outlying districts to repay them for the expense which it will entail upon them?" Thus it seems that common sense and common courtesy would dictate that the people of Santa Ana should remain rather quiet and let the outlying districts decide for themselves. The county seat should be satisfied with letting her preference be known at the polls. This like of conduct, though just and proper, has not been followed by those county officials resident of Santa Ana, who while demanding and receiving additional help in the discharge of their official duties, have not sorcupied to spend their own time in canvassing the county in the interests of the high school, thus burning out the candle of public finance at both ends. The Chino Sugar Factory Begins Operations. The big sugar factory at Chino began operations on Tuesday. From last Saturday's Champion we take the following particulars: The past week has seen a larger force and more intense activity in the buildings and grounds than any previous time since work was commenced. There are 166 men on the company's payroll, besides the man employed on contract work. Everything is at high tension. On Saturday the petroleum burners were put in place in the boilers and steam was turned into the pipes. Each engine and machine was then in turn put in motion, slowly at first, and carefully watched and tested. Monday night the electric dynamos were started and the electric current turned onto the 200 incandescent lamps and eight 1,200-candle power are lights. Two more of these and fifty of the incandescent are yet to be put in. The place at night presents a very brilliant appearance. Tuesday night the great spiral elevator and the washing machines were started. The large steam pump was put in motion Tuesday, and its companion, the vacuum pump, was started this morning. The centrifugal machines and all other parts of the plant have been tested, and with a very few minor exceptions, have been found to work satisfactorily. Voters who were not registered at the last general election should register to vote against the county high school on the 29th.W. A. Witte is a registrar clerk. The Escondido Irrigation District has made a contract with a New York firm for the development of a supply of water from the San Louis Rey river, at a probable cost of $5,000,000.

It is filled with valuable data and contains much interesting information. A new process for the rapid curing of summer grown lemons is to lay upon the floor of a cellar or curing house about eight inches of green alfalfa, on which is piled several layers of lemons, which are covered with about eight inches of the same material. By this process, it is said, you succeed in curing perfectly green lemons in from ten to fourteen days. The chemically produced heat of the alfalfa acts as the curative agent. Do not fail to take advantage of the moonlight excursion to Newport Beach on Saturday the 22d. Trains leave Santa Ana at 4:15 and 6:30 P.M. Returning, train leaves Newport at 9:30 P.M. The Santa Ana Railroad will run additional trains on Saturday the 22d. We give below the time table for that date: Leave Newport at 7 A.M., 11 A.M., 3:30 P.M., 5 P.M., and 9:30 P.M. Leave Santa Ana at 9:45 A.M., 12:30 P.M., 4:15 P.M., and 6:30 P.M. Next winter will see an enormous development of the growth of garden vegetables in Southern California for shipment to the East. It has been demonstrated that fresh vegetables can be laid down in the Eastern cities at 3 cents per pound. Of course, between such vegetables and the canned goods there can be no comparison. Perhaps when the next census expert comes out to California he will be able to see that we do something in the raising of garden vegetables. The dropping of twenty-one teachers from the pay-roll of the public schools of Los Angeles, in order to replace them with others, has given rise to a perfect storm of opposition among the teachers and their friends. The board itself has been divided on the question, standing five to four, and, to further complicate matters the President of the board has resigned, having become dissatisfied with the manner in which affairs had been conducted.

A new process for the rapid curing of summer grown lemons is to lay upon the floor of a cellar or curing house about eight inches of green alfalfa, on which is piled several layers of lemons, which are covered with about eight inches of the same material. By this process, it is said, you succeed in curing perfectly green lemons in from ten to fourteen days. The chemically produced heat ofthe alfalfa acts as the curative agent.

The dropping of twenty-one teachers from the pay-roll of the public schools of Los Angeles, in order to replace them with others, has given rise to a perfect storm of opposition among the teachers and their friends. The board itself has been divided on the question, standing five to four, and, to further complicate matters the President of the board has resigned, having become dissatisfied with the manner in which affairs had been conducted. Over in Tucker's saloon at Santa Ana last Saturday night a dispute arose over a game of cards between "Eame" Chilson, who killed a man in Arizona some years ago, and a "tin-horn" gambler. Chilson pulled a gun and was in the act of filling his adversary full of lead when bystanders interfered and prevented him from doing any damage, except shooting a hole in the floor. Two exotic policemen then rushed into the building, but the affair was quieted. No arrests were made. The reported damage from the storm at Redlands was greatly oxaggerated. No damage has been done to any reservoir nor to the Bear Valley Irrigation Company's pipes or canals. The total loss is slight. The houses reported destroyed were nothing but tents along the zanja's banks. The damage is estimated as follows: Settlers on the larton tract, $4,000; Redlands—Orchardists, $2,500; merchants, $2,000; street railway, $50; Domestic Water Company, $3,000; Southern Pacific motor line, $1,000. District Attorney McLachlan of Los Angeles has written an opinion concerning the advisability of the county purchasing the patent for what is called the Bishop "hydrocyanic gas treatment" for infected trees, otherwise known as the twilight patient. He advises the Supervisors not to purchase the patent for the reason that it would be a useless expenditure of money. The District Attorney thinks the patent is defective. An idea cannot be patented, and so far as using the gas at night is concerned, those who wish could do so without much fear of being made to pay damages. It might be profitable to dry the surplus potato crop of Southern California. Of late years a process of artificial drying of potatoes has been perfected, and potatoes so treated are largely used in the British army and navy. Not long ago, says the Express, a contract was let by British army authorities to a factory in Nova Scotia for many tons of dried potatoes. It is probable that a sale could be had for many carloads of Southern ROYAL ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder.
