Schindler California's Cereal Warehouse Forty-eight counties of California have sent in statistical reports State Agricultural Society for 1906, as required by law. This total cereal acreage and value as follows: Wheat, 1,458,284 acres, yd., tons, or 24,000,767 bushels, $13,289,904; barley, 1,750, yield 849,490 tons, or 33,979,600 valued at $16,987,575; oak acres, yield 131,126 tons, $3,331,980; corn, 71,879 ac., 65,106 tons, valued at $1,533,211,158 acres, yield 6,629 tons; $286,255; buck-wheat, 400 acres; 300 tons, valued at $7,500. This gives a total grain of 3,616,984 a total yield of 1,750 of a total value of $35,425,734. The same forty-eight counties the hay crop for 1906 as follows: Alfalfa hay, 338,788 acres, 1,400,822 tons, valued at grain hay, 1,822,380 acres, 979 tons, valued at $21,628 hay, 54,633 acres, yield 75% valued at $570,230. These give a total hay area of 2,215,801 a total yield of 4,112 of a total value of $30,912,422. These figures show the total hay and grain to be $66,338 acres will be noticed as was the value of the hay crop is considerably more than the grain crop. In other words the grain shows an average return of $13.95 an acre the greater yield and value which enlarges this difference not altogether as it will that the average value per acre hay is $10.80 which is $2 an acre than the average value of grain often a problem with the farmer to cut certain foul grain not. The showing here would be in favor of cutting every hay that will not make goo- Finance—Sherwood, Hale, Drake. Pumping—Bradford and Sherwood. Reservoir—McLauchlin, Bradford, Kraemer and Drake. On motion the rule regarding the measurement committee was so amended that it should consist of three members instead of two as heretofore. The president appointed as such committee Drak, McLauchlin and Kraemer. A communication from C. Schindler et al. asked that a ditch leading to their ranches be cemented, they agreeing to do the hauling. Referred to the ditch committee to report at next meeting. A communication from A. B. Annin calling attention to a ditch which causes flood-waters to flow upon his lands, was referred to the ditch committee. A communication from the Female Religious Order of St. Dominic asked permission to construct a bridge across the ditch where it crosses the church property. Referred to McLauchlin. An assessment of two dollars per share was levied upon the subscribed capital stock of the company. Engineer Kellogg asked that an engine be furnished for use at the reservoir dam for constructing the same. The matter was referred to the reservoir committee and the engineer. The engineer was instructed to construct an arch under the railroad at Richfield. On motion of Bradford, seconded by Kraemer, the superintendent was instructed to get the necessary tools and put in a concrete pipe under the supervision of the engineer. On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H. KRICK, Secy. HOME TELEPHONE USERS For an infant organization the Home Telephone Company is proving itself phenomenon.

Heying, Proprie California's Cereal Wealth Eight counties of California at in statistical reports to the Agricultural Society for the year required by law. These show cereal acreage, and yield and follows: 1,458,284 acres, yield 720,023 2,000,767 bushels, valued at 94; barley, 1,750,756 acres, 490 tons, or 33,979,600 bushels, at $16,987,575; oats, 314,507 yield 131,126 tons, valued at 90; corn, 71,879 acres, yield tons, valued at $1,532,520; rye, years, yield 6,629 tons, valued at buck-wheat, 400 acres, yield valued at $7,500. Gives a total grain acreage of a total yield of 1,772,674 tons, value of $35,425,734. Same forty-eight counties give crop for 1906 as follows: Hay, 338,788 acres, yield tons, valued at $8,713,903; Yield, 1,822,380 acres, yield 2,636,-valued at $21,628,294; grass 633 acres, yield 75,376 tons, $570,230. Gives a total hay acreage of a total yield of 4,113,177 tons, value of $30,912,427. Figures show the total value of grain to be $66,338,161, and it noticed, as was the case in 1905, of the hay crop acre for acre marably more than the value of the crop. In other words, while shows an average return of acre,the hay crop shows an return of $13.95 an acre. It is over yield and value of alfalfa charges this difference,and yet neither,as it will be noticed average value per acre of grain 0.80 ,which is $2 an acre more average value of grain. It is problem with the farmer wheth-certain foul grain for hay or showing here would seem to fear of cutting everything for which will not make good,clean sources indicated. BEANS AND POTATOES Returns from the same forty-eight countles, with one-sixth added as an estimate for the products of the nine counties that failed to make returns, show the total bean crop of California for 1906 to be 256,751,714 pounds, valued at $8,060,948; for the same year the total crop of Irish potatoes was 355,794,507 pounds, valued at $3,772,446,and the total crop of sweet potatoes was 34,351,835 pounds, valued at $4,171,-139. The total value of all potatoes and beans is $12,250,532. This amount added to the value of cereals gives a total of $89,505,053 as the total of California's leading agricultural staples (exclusive of products of the tree,vine,and garden),for 1906. SIMON MAGUS. The Legend From Which Was Born the Story of Faust. Almost every renowned man of antiquity in the middle ages was believed to be attended by a spiritus familiaris and not a few were suspected of being in direct league with the devil. Probably the oldest legend of which the Faust legend is a continuous thread is that of Simon Magus,mentioned in the history of the apostles. According to Justin,他 was a native of Gitton,a village in Samaria. He was,nodoubt,a man of great intellectual powers.He was the father of the school of the Gnostics.It is also reported of him that he could make himself invisible,that he could pass through flames unharmed,could transpose matter,make gold and exorcise demons—In fact,his laid claim to all these powers,and his name lived in the mouths of the people as a sort of demiurge through many centuries until some other miracle working personality took his place at the popular fireside.Unusual accomplishments,great erudition.were attributed to the supernatural influence and the general disposition to superstitious assumption was Robinson Crusoe, Economist. When the average boy spends the delighted hours of imaginative youth in devouring the pages of "Robinson Crusoe" he has, like most people of more mature years, no idea that he is perusing a work of profound philosophy written by one of the greatest political thinkers of the English speaking race. Taken with a knowledge of the facts of the career of De Foe, "Robinson Crusoe" can properly be considered a story intended to illustrate the heavy burden of trouble placed upon any single individual isolated from his fellows and compelled to maintain his existence without their aid. The tale shows in an inimitable way how all civilized men are interdependent. Regarded from this point of view, the author of the most widely read work of fiction ever written becomes an object of particular interest to all thinkers upon politics.—William N. Hill, M. D., in Watson's Magazine. Augustin Daly's Delightful Comedy, A NIGHT OFF By the Class of '07 Anaheim High School At OPERA-HOUSE, on Friday Eve., Feb. 8, 1907.

MILLER'S A Resistant Grape The Lenoir grape when ungrafted is resistant to the California Vine e. The vine is very vigorous, a good bearer when mature, while the vine is very dark in color and rather small of size. The Lenoir is strictly a variety. It is hardiest when ungrafted, but will prolong the life of a tento variety though not preventing the latter from infection as the disease es all parts of the vine. I have carefully selected Lenoir cuttings for sale at $10.00 per thousand Boston B. Pierce, Santa Ana, Calif. For Hardware Call and see us. Our stock is complete.
