ALL indications point to the fact that the great Rock Island railroad system is feeling its way to a point on this coast, and we may reasonably expect that in the very near future to rejoice in the advantages of a third transcontinental railway line. This system has recently completed a road from a point in Kansas down through New Mexico to El Paso, and from the later place to points in Arizona as far west as Bisbee and Benson. Trains are running regularly over this new line, and in Arizona road building is progressing in this direction in an energetic and unostentatious manner. In Arizona it is considered as a matter of fact that the Rock Island is pushing westward from Benson to Phoenix, thence down the Gila valley to Yuma and then across the desert to some port in Southern California. The fact remains, however, that Rock Island trains are now running into the territory and road building is continuing unabated, although nothing definite has been given out concerning their ultimate intention. The system has recently made bids for a portion of the coast trade, and its merits have been extensively advertised in California papers. The Rock Island is one of the great systems of the United States and the officials are among the most obliging in the world. The advent of the road in THE COUNTRY NEEDS RAIN R. G. Dun's Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for November in Southern California. Trade conditions throughout Southern California changed little during the past month. Rain is badly needed and farming operations must necessarily be at a standstill until it comes. Beans are all harvested and market is firmer, limas and pinks showing a slight advance. Celery is being shipped in large quantities. The season is a little earlier than last, the yield about the same. Daily shipments of citrus crop of 1903-04 are now going forward, but at present rate holiday shipments will be only one-third of fruit marketed at same period last year. Florida fruit has been more abundant this year than any previous year since before the freeze and influences eastern markets. Late California Valencias have not realized hopes of growers, the average price returns averaging about one-half of those realized last year. About 50 per cent of Florida crop has been marketed and will be entirely out of competition by the middle of January. Lemons rule easier with large foreign supply. Cured fruit market is dull. Consuming trade is said to be as large as last year, but high prices set curtail orders in futures. There is no speculation whatever. The attitude of buyers makes a waiting market. Apricots went freely at high prices. There is some demand for peaches, but other lines, especially prunes, drag. Holders feel that trade will open up well at beginning of new year and prices be sustained. The raisin situation shows no signs of immediate improvement. Too many growers outside the association forced lower prices, but with prices at normal basis market has not picked up. Stemming and seeding have been discontinued for the present. Growers will not suffer, receiving prices of 3 cents in sweat box as guaranteed. The crop is a heavy one, estimated at about 50,000 tons, and to date less than one-half has been disposed of. FOOTBALL. The Old Fashioned School Game Wherein Everybody Played. There is no such spirit in the school today as in old times. They have a football eleven, it is true, and it holds its head well up among its mates; a little above 'em, too, most of the time—the old school's the old school yet. I tell 'em—but, after all, it isn't the old game nor the old spirit. I go out sometimes to watch them and think, "Well it's a queer game they play now and call football!" They trot out in such astonishing toggery—padded and guarded from shin to crown, welted, belted, strapped and buckled beyond recognition. And there's no independence in the play; every move has to be told 'em. It's as if they weren't big enough to run alone, and so they hire a big stepmother of a university "coach," who stands round in a red sweater and yells and berates them. Not a man answers back; he doesn't dare to. They don't dare eat plain Christian food, but have a "training table" and diet like invalids. I've seen 'em at a game not dare take a plain drink of water. When they got thirsty we sucked at a wet sponge, like babes at the bottle! It was not so in our day. No apron strings of a university coach were tied to us. We were free born men. When we wanted to play we got together and went down to the old pasture, to the big oak tree that stood near the middle of it, and there we would "choose up" and take off our coats and vests and neckgear and pile them round the oak and walk out on the field and go at it—everybody—not a pitiful dozen or so while the rest stood with their hands in their pockets and looked on, but everybody! And it was football; no playing half an hour without seeing the ball in the air once. We kicked it all the time except when we missed it and then we kicked the other fellow's shins. And when we got thirsty we went down to the spring and took an honest drink out of an honest tin cup—G. H. Teeple in Atlantic. THE DANDELION. No More Successful Plant and Nome More Wonderful. Perhaps none of our plants is more common or more familiar than the dandelion, and certainly none is more wonderful. First of all it is not a native, but was introduced from Europe whence have come many of our worst weeds, fitted by centuries of struggle in The California Promotion Committee is now making special effort to obtain all the latest information in regard to the progress in the upbuilding of the state. Those who have important developments on hand are working to furnish full particulars to the committee. There are hundreds of projects in this state of a vastly important nature in developing our resources which are not well known and the publication of them will give a better idea of the great progress which is being made. The committee does not request any information which will be inopportune, and only such data that tells of work accomplished, or being done is desired. Those who have projects under way are requested to advise the committee at San Francisco when arrangements are complete. CALIFORNIA deciduous fruits, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, apricots and cherries dominate New York markets a considerable portion of the year, and the supply of fruits grown 3000 miles away determines the prices which shall be paid for fruit grown close at hand. The Long Island, Staten Island and New Jersey producers get more for their deciduous fruits than is paid for California fruits in auction rooms, and frequently not as much, for whatever may be said of the quality, a large proportion of the fruits offered in New York is sold on its appearance. During the past years, the market for California deciduous fruits shipped fresh has expanded very rapidly in the eastern country and includes 125 cities. MR. DEUTSCH advertises for sale this morning his city property in the Deutsch tract. Liberal price feel that trade will open up well at beginning of new year and prices be sustained. The raisin situation shows no signs of immediate improvement. Too many growers outside the association forced lower prices, but with prices at normal basis market has not picked up. Stemming and seeding have been discontinued for the present. Growers will not suffer, receiving prices of 3 cents in sweat box as guaranteed. The crop is a heavy one, estimated at about 50,000 tons, and to date less than one-half has been disposed of. Grape crushing is over. Every winery has worked full capacity. The crop of wine grapes was underestimated. Olive picking is in full swing. The oil production will be heavy. Lack of rain shriveled olives and materially lessened the amount available for picking purposes. Building continues at no diminishing rate throughout Southern California. It is estimated that the yearly report of the San Pedro custom-house for 1903 will show that at least 75,000,000 feet more of lumber has arrived at this port than in 1902. The month of November saw 649 building permits issued in Los Angeles, calling for an expenditure of $1,183,814. Locally both wholesale and retail dealers in most lines report business for November in excess of last year. Failures for month, seven; liabilities, $7000; assets, $3500. Same month last year—eight failures; liabilities, $7200; assets, $2500. JUPITER PLUVIUS continues to maintain his boycott against this fair land, but we go ahead doing business in the same old way. The Sun Makes Rooms Dusty. There is more dust in the places illuminated by the sun's rays than in those which we call shady. If you look along a beam of light as it streams through a window or a chink in the door, you will see innumerable dust particles dancing about in the light. You will be told by most persons that there is just as much dust in the nonilluminated parts of the room as in the more favored spaces, but you cannot see the particles because the rays do not fall directly upon them. You will think that this is eminently plausible, but it is not the case. The sun falling upon the air creates irregular currents, and these currents stir up the dust and collect it in layers along the line of light; hence there is more dust where the sun shines than elsewhere. A curious experience in a museum gave proof of this. It was noticed that there was always more dust on the glass cases exposed to the sunbeams than on those which were never touched by the rays of the great orb, and this led to an inquiry, with the above result. It will generally be found that it takes longer to clean the sunny parts of a large room than it does to wipe up the dust particles from the shady nooks. One of the dandelion's strongest points is the ability to obtain nourishment under strong competition and in unfavorable situations. A deep, strong perennial taproot draws all available nourishment and moisture from surface face and subsolil stores nourishment during the winter and enables the plant to start far and away ahead of most of its competitors. This same taproot is exceedingly bitter, which very likely protects it from destruction by moles and other animals. At least do not remember having seen a roo that had been disturbed by animals or any kind. But only a small portion of its food comes from the soil. Air and sunlight are just as necessary, for the air in food and the sunshine is digestion for our vegetable neighbors. Note the shape of the leaves. Narrow at the base and widening at the outer end they form a dense rosette that not only gets for the dandelion all the air and sunshine coming its way, but smothers all but the most sturdy competitors. Here lies the secret of the dandelion's presence in lawns and walks and open waste places. In lawns the grass is kept low so that it cannot overtop and shade the dandelion, while its own leaves lie so low and close that they are little hurt by the mower and can smother the grass underneath.—Harper's Magazine. Ancient Child Burial. There was an order in the Church of England up to the year 1552 that if a child died within a mouth of baptism he should be buried in his chrism in lieu of a shroud. The chrism was a white baptismal robe with which in medieval times a child when christened was enveloped. A sixteenth century brass in Chestam Bois church in Buckinghamshire represents Benedict Lee, chrism child, in his chrism cloth. The inscription underneath the figure stands thus: Of Rogr. Lee, gentilma, here, lyeth tha son, Benedict Lee, cry som whos souls thu pdu. —Westminster Gazette. An Expensive Error. The commuter started up from his seat, twisted about, frowned and sat down again as the train moved. "Anything the matter?" asked the chap who had got on at the last station. "Yes," replied the commuter gloomily—"yes, there is." For the second time Mr. Deutsch advertises for sale this morning his city property in the Deutsch tract. Liberal prices have been placed upon this property, which is among the most desirable in this city. The tract has been divided into building lots and at the prices offered ought to meet with ready purchase. Property is cheaper in Anaheim now than it will ever be again. More intending purchasers of town and country realty are upon our streets daily than at any previous time in our history, and investment are of almost daily occurrence. The Deutsch tract has not hitherto been on the market, and its superb location, no less than the low prices asked, should find purchasers without delay. One day last week 4000 trunk were piled upon a Los Angeles railway depot. Seventeen men are employed continually handling baggage at this station. This furishes an intimation of the heavy travel hitherward. More people are coming into Southern California at present than ever before in the history of the country. Scare reports have been sent out this week to the effect that a Colombian army was marching on Panama. The reports have not been verified, and it is presumed that the wrath of the Colombian leaders has been assuaged in harmless threats and the invention of boaxes. When a Colombian army sees the isthmus it will be through a telescope. An Overworked Woman. I stopped to get a glass of milk the other day at a New Jersey farmhouse. Said the commuter, and the female head of the establishment, who had six children playing around, was inclined to repine at her hard luck in having so much work to do. "I run this whole farm," she remarked in a tone which indicated that she was ready to resign. "How many acres have you?" I inquired. "A hundred and forty." "Got any stock?" "Ten head of cattle, two cows, six hogs and work horses for the place." "And you run the whole business?" I asked. "Indeed, I do; every hide and hair of it," she sighed. "Don't you hire some help?" "Of course, but 'tain't hired help that takes the load off one's body." There was some philosophy in that, and I paused a minute. "Haven't you got a husband?" I then asked sympathetically. "Yes," she said sternly, "but, you see, I have to run him too."—New York Mall and Express. Politeness. Little Elmer—Papa, what is politeness? Professor Broadhead—Politeness, my son, is the art of not letting other people know what you really think of them.—Town Topics. Merciful. Man—Oh, yes; she refused me and gave me no reasons whatever.

The commuter started up from his seat, twisted about, frowned and sat down again as the train moved. "Anything the matter?" asked the chap who had got on at the last station. "Yes," replied the commuter gloomily—"yes, there is. For the second time this week the conductor has punched my meal instead of my railroad ticket. I must get glasses for him or for my self!"—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune The Independent Cat. "There is nothing I admire in a cat so much as her absolute independence," said a man as he watched a big Angora sweep haughtily around the room. "You are bound to treat a cat kindly. If you abuse her or ill treat her she cares nothing more for you Now, a dog will lick the hand that beats him, but a cat will have only the utmost contempt for you. This teendeny of a dog to love its master even after it has been kicked may appeal to some, but I like the cat's high spirit better. This independent spirit of the cat crops out in many ways You may slap her for stealing milk but the next time she gets a chance she will steal milk. She will approve the best chair in the room and endure with a supercilious air your poise hints or stern commands to her to get down. But she will never budge until the spirit moves her or you move her by force. If she is crazy to get in the window and you open it for her, she takes her time, stops to sniff a bit and does not allow you to thunk for one instant that she was at all concerned over the opening of that window. They are beautiful animals, and they know it, and if you don't like them they don't care a hang."—New York Times. Not Sufficiently Strenuous. The Friend—and so you don't trust your lawyer? The Farmer—No, sir! He and the lawyer on the other side are too awfully polite; don't call each other names at all.—Kansas City Independence FOOTBALL. Fashioned School Game in Everybody Played. No such spirit in the school in old times. They have a eleven, it is true, and it holds well up among its mates; a lit-ten, too, most of the time—school's the old school yet, I about, after all, it isn't the old the old spirit.

Deputy Clerk. POULTRY POINTERS Stale bread soaked in milk and squeezed dry is a good feed for young ducks. Only medium sized eggs should be set. Extra large or small ones are apt to produce deformed chicks. Turkeys are not so sure to come home as other fowls; hence it is a good plan to mark them in some way. Feed the young chicks often if you would have them growing rapidly, but do not feed more at a time than they will eat up clean in a few minutes. Destroy the old nests as soon as the hens come off with the chicks. The safest and best plan is to burn all of the old material. Healthy fowls pick up their food quickly and relish it. When they go at it lazily, pick up a grain or two and then stop something is wrong. Never shut the fowls up in such close quarters that they cannot take enough exercise to promote digestion. Hens treated in this way will soon become too fat to lay. The Stems of the Prickly Pear. In most plants, to put it simply, the leaves are the mouths and stomachs of the organism; their thin and flattened blades are spread out horizontally in a wide expanse, covered with tiny throats and lips which suck in carbonic acid from the surrounding air and dis- FOR SALE In the city of Anaheim as per an companying plat, property located between Lemon and Palm Sts., about 165 ft.
