Plants of Death Valley Not half the plants of Death valley are known to scientists, most of those that are known are little more than names, and will never be more until the prying arm of the railroad shall have laid bare some of the secrets of this Vale of Hinnom. Most beautiful and most plenty, of course, of all these plants that bloom in the desert are the cacti, and the rapidity with which their dry and apparently withered stalks put out blossoms under the touch of the rains is wonderful. The largest and showiest blossoms of them all grows on a short, stocky stem, which during the summer does not seem to have life enough to produce the magnificent wavy flowers, which are often as much as nine inches across. A cactus much larger than this—the barrel cactus—has a very small and insignificant bloom, while the tiniest of all, a low, creeping, round stemmed, jointed growth, has an immense pink flower, beautiful as any archid and rivaling the rarest rose of Persia in its odor. Unfortunately, the names of these rare species are not well known, and the commoner varieties, which are also found on the coast slope, bear no such gorgeous array of blossoms. Old friends greet the traveler on the rim of Death valley, too. There is the cholla [pronounced chovah] which, while large and numerously branched, produces few or no flowers, reproducing itself by "slipping," as our grandmothers were wont to California Polytechnic State University [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GATE] San Luis Obispo, March 9, The registration of the polytechnic has reached the one hundredth mark. The one hundredth sign is Joseph Prandini of San Francisco who is taking special work in ing. The growth of the school been remarkable—the first registration was twenty-two, the end sixty, and now the third has seen an increase to one hundred Local increase in the school has pace within this growth so that including special students, the new from San Luis Obispo could nearly one-half the total reation. It is five years ago the eighth of March that Governor Gage made the bill making the first application for the school and enable to come into existence. The anniversary of this important will be celebrated on Thursday by appropriate exercises. The feature will be an address by Warren M. John who was a member of the assembly in 1901 and has a trustee of the school since its organization. It is probable the bration will grow into an event. Dr. A. R. Ward, director of State Hygienic laboratory at University of California will visit school on the 8th and 9th and liver a farmers' institute upon cattle diseases. Dr. War the commoner varieties, which are also found on the coast slope, bear no such gorgeous array of blossoms. Old friends greet the traveler on the rim of Death valley, too. There is the cholla [pronounced chovah] which, while large and numerously branched, produces few or no flowers, reproducing itself by "slipping," as our grandmothers were wont to say of the choice geraniums. Whenever an unusually long branch falls to the ground it seems almost to work its way into the earth, so soon do the shifting sands cover it. Then a process of rooting takes place, so that soon an entirely separate plant comes up a few feet from the parent. So it is that great beds of cacti are formed throughout the desert. One noticeable thing about all the plants in and around Death Valley is that they grow low to the ground—for no living thing can stand against the simoons that sweep this level floor for 200 miles on over into the Nevada desert. These low growers protect themselves from the drifting sand in a wonderfully ingenious manner. Other plants than cacti are scarce in Death Valley, but two species of mesquite grow from one end of the valley to the other, both blooming profusely and adding their quota of odor to the air. When they seed the beans are gathered by the Piutes and ground up for flour. All in all, there are doubtless hundreds of acres of cacti in this one part of the California desert, and its beauty when in bloom is something indescribable, especially when seen in the midst of mile on mile of barren sand flats.—San Francisco Chronicle. TRAINED NURSE Writes a Letter to the Gazette. To the Editor of the Gazette: "I am a trained nurse of nine years' experience in hospitals and private organizations." Dr. A. R. Ward, director of State Hygienic laboratory at University of California will visit school on the 8th and 9th and liver a farmers' institute upon cattle diseases. Dr. Ward also deliver a few lectures upon teriology to the students in agriculture. Ground was broken on February 28th for the new domestic seeding and construction begin once. The building has been fully planned with a view to make the best arranged building on coast for teaching the subject relating to domestic economy. The first building to be erected in California for this special purpose is 43x102 feet and two stories a basement in height and will about $25,000.

That State Farm Again New trouble has developed over State farm. At least we infer from the following editorial in the Francisco Chronicle: "Among the sites offered was one Contra Costa county, reported as complying with all the requirements of the law and of the purposes which the State farm is desired, the additional advantage that it eleven miles to Berkeley, in a line, and has the promise of the Route authorities that their eleven miles will immediately provide." TRAINED NURSE Writes a Letter to the Gazette. To the Editor of the Gazette: "I am a trained nurse of nine years' experience in hospitals and private cases, and for the benefit of the people of Anaheim, I wish you would publish my experience with the cod liver oil preparation called Vinol. I was completely prostrated from overwork. I had no appetite, could not sleep, my kidneys, liver and bowels became inactive, and as I grew weaker I could not retain either medicine or food on my stomach and raised blood. The doctors said my condition was critical, and I would probably die. As I had seen Vinol prescribed for my patients with such remarkable results, I decided to try it myself. After the first bottle I continued to improve. I continued its use and soon began to sleep and eat well; every organ in my body was strengthened and became normal, until it seemed good to be alive and I was restored to perfect health and strength. I believe Vinol is the most potent and delicious cod liver oil preparation and tonic rebuilder in the world; and it is such a blessing to be able to take into the system all the body-building and medicinal elements of cod liver oil without the nauseating, greasy oil itself. I advise all my patients who need strength for every organ in the body, rich, red blood, and flesh tissue, to take Vinol, as it is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil, emulsions, or other tonics." Elizabeth M. Cremond, trained nurse, Boston, Mass. Our local druggist, O. A. Mullinix, sells Vinol on a positive guarantee to return money if it fails." Among the sites offered was Contra Costa county, reported as complying with all the requirements of the law and of the purpose which the State farm is desired, the additional advantage that it is eleven miles to Berkeley, in a line, and has the promise of the Route authorities that their road will be immediately extended to the farm if it is located on that line. The commission is now visiting site, or is about to do so, and there been much reason to suppose that stood an excellent chance of selection. It appears, however, that the site not been offered by its owner, but middleman who has 'butted in' by curing an option for $300 per year. Now, it is safe to say that there is land in the vicinity of Concord which, with rights to an ample supply of water for irrigation, $100 per year is not a higher price than could be for it by any customer in the world except a state. The college needs farm, and the people desire it too one; but the commission will face short of its duty if it does not even to consider a proposition which involves paying a cent more than land is worth for ordinary tillage the yielding up of a single dollar any middleman. The state had been go without the farm indefinitely to permit itself to be plundered." That is a good vigorous "knocking" Contra Costa. Under these conditions the stock of Yolo county ought to up provided of course the people can stop "knocking" one another. The task of the commission does seem to get any easier as the day by.
