BROUGHT MORE THAN ONE AND THREE-QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN LAST YEAR CORN IS STILL KING, WITH COTTON SECOND AND WHEAT IN THIRD PLACE All records for value of the country's important farm crops were exceeded this year despite the smaller size of the crops. Their value was placed at $7,541,-609,000 by the department of agriculture in its final estimates of the year. That is $1,750,000,000 more than the same crops were worth last year. Higher prices, due partly to reduced production and partly to the demands for American food from the warring nations of Europe, were responsible for the vast increase in value. Four crops each were worth more than a billion dollars. Corn, with a total value of $2,295,783,000, showed the greatest increase, being worth $573,103,000 more than last year's output. Cotton, the second most valuable with a total of $1,079,598,000, increased $475,3780,000 over last year. Wheat, the third, was worth $1,025,765,000, or $83,462,000 over the year before, when the production was almost 400,000,000 bushels more. Hay was fourth, with a value of $1,008,894,000, an increase of $95,250,000. Compared with last year's values other crops showed the following increases: Oats, $96,673,000; potatoes, $95,071,000; tobacco, $72,727,000; barley, $41,362,000; rye, $12,774,000; buckwheat, $1,521,000; flaxseed, $13,940,- the department, showing the corn crop to have been 2,994,793,000 bushels last year, a reduction of 59,742,000 bushels from previous estimates, and wheat for 1915 was placed at 1,025,801,-000 bushels, an increase of 13,296,000 bushels over estimates made last December.

MYSTERIOUS MAN A PUZZLE TO OFFICIALS Declares He Wont Drink in California, But Will go the Limit in Mexico Hints at a mysterious tragedy in the life of a man who gave his name as Dr. John Livingston, but who says that is not his real name, marked a hearing Friday in the Superior court. A stranger here, Dr. Livingston was taken to the county hospital two weeks ago from Anaheim suffering from a severe attacks of delirium tremens. As he was recovering, it was learned that he was a physician, well educated, evidently of refinement and standing. Friday he was taken before Judge Thomas on proceeding intended to result in sending him to the inebriate. "No, I will not say that I am never going to drink again. That would be falsifying. I will not drink again in this state, however, but after I get to Mexico I shall do as I please." Only after being urged did the man tell where he was from. He finally gave his home as Bowling Green, Ky. "But I do not want to, and I shall not drag any other person into this unhappy affair," declared he. Judge Thomas took under advisement the disposition of the man's case. Livingston was arrested by the police of Anaheim and taken to the city jail, where he attempted to commit suicide by hanging. He was rescued by one of the night policemen and sent to the county hospital. ORANGE COUNTY GAS FOR SAN BERDOO COUNTY Four Cities Preparing to Pipe It From The Brea Field The commonwealth handles more money, with few exceptions, than any bank in California; franchise taxes in this state for two years have exceeded $28,000,000; interest rates on state deposits have increased in the face of low commercial rates and large bank reserves; the state's net bonded indebtedness is less than $20,000,000. These were the outstanding features of the biennial report of State Treasurer Friend W. Richardson, made public Friday. The state's policy in accepting irrigation district bonds as security for state deposits has increased the market value of these bonds, the report said, and placed the districts on a firmer financial foundation. The report covers the business of the treasurer's office for the 66th and 67th fiscal years, from July 1, 1914 to June 30, 1916. Gross receipts for that period totaled $67,732,218.32 and the disbursements amounted to $71,970,226.1. For net costs of government the treasurer refers to the report of the state controller and the budget of the state board of control. The treasurer's report shows that there is more than $9,000,000 of state money on deposit in banks of the state and he advocates an amendment of the state deposit act which would permit the treasurer to put practically all the state funds on deposit—and earning interest. "The fact that all the banks," the report says, "both state and national, are now so carefully managed and so rigidly examined reduces danger of loss to a minimum. The Federal Reserve act has also had a stabilizing effect upon the banks."

A stranger here, Dr. Livingston was taken to the county hospital two weeks ago from Anaheim suffering from a severe attacks of delirium tremens. As he was recovering, it was learned that he was a physician, well educated, evidently of refinement and standing. Friday he was taken before Judge Thomas on proceeding intended to result in sending him to the inebriates' home at the insane asylum at Patton. "I never pleaded with a man before in my life," declared Dr. Livingston, who is a big man, aged 28, of genial nature, one who makes friends instantly, "but I plead with you not to send me to any asylum. I am not insane. I do not imagine that by body is charged with electricity, that there is a conspiracy against me, that I am Christ. None of those usual things is the matter with me. I am an unhappy man, and that is all. "It would do me no good to be sent to Patton. Nine out of ten of those you send there come back and go to drinking. Besides I am not a habitual drunkard. I went to drinking deliberately, knowing the effects. I was in one of the biggest hospitals in New York, and I saw many men with the d.f.'s. Three months ago I began drinking to excess, and I went through to the bottom. I saw snakes. I'll never see them again, for I do not intend to ever again drink until I am unconscious of what is going on around me." "Why did you enter upon this period of hard drinking?" asked the Judge. "I absolutely refuse to answer that question," responded Dr. Livingston. At a meeting of the Four Cities' Natural Gas committee held in San Bernardino, Chairman Hickok of Riverside, made the startling announcement that a company headed by Mr. Whiteside, a Riverside capitalist, has contracted for 45 miles of S-inch steel pipe to be laid from the Brea canyon natural gas field to Colton which is to supply natural gas to Colton, San Bernardino, Riverside and Redlands. Representatives of the Southern California Gas Company were there Mr. Williams, who is the company's supply expert claimed that natural gas is not, at this time, available as the supply is limited. He admitted, however, that if Mr. Whiteside is connected with the Southern Counties' Gas Company, and it is rumored he is he may be able through this connection, to secure enough gas from the Brea field to supply the four towns in that section. Mr. Williams estimated that 17,000-000 cubic feet of natural gas per month would be ample to supply the upper end of the San Bernardino valley. C. E.
