HOLIDAYS IN THE SNOW VALUABLE BOOK The Sentinel thanks Senator Perkins for a copy of the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture for the year 1907. It Is the last volume off the press and Is even better than the year book of 1906. The public generally In years gone by have been ac-custiffhed to sneer at public documents, and In many cases they had a right to do so, but the publications ot the Agricultural Department now-n-days are certainly great works of information and In the splendid compilation of facts as established by experience and the work Is valuable to every farmer and student. CHANCE IS OUT. Los Angeles, Dec.

18. Frank Chance, the distinguished baseball artist, and the first man in the game to make California famous on the diamond, is reported to have purchased an orange grove In the southern district, and he has declared that unless the baseball interests accede to his demands, he will quit the baseball business and retire to the orange groves and spend the remainder of his life in ease, comfort, and outside of the many trials and tribulations which accompany me career of a baseball crank.

Dr. W. P. Byron left Thursday afternoon for Oakland, where he will visit among relatives fur a few days. Mrs.

Gus Merz and son Spencer arrived home Wednesday evening from Fresno, where they have been on a visit. Albert Levy, the Coalinga butcher, was transacting business here Thursday. C. G. Johnson of San Francisco arrived in this city Thursday evening and will remain here for a few days and transact uslness.

Word reached here Thursday from San Jose that Mr. Marion Helnlen was very ill at his home in that city. He was stricken down with appendicitis and was In a very critical condition. But a phone message received by the aTiter Thursday evening, reports him resting easier, and his many friends in this locality will be glad to hear of his bettefed condition. Dr.

S. H. Tolhurst of Los Angeles is in this city looking after his landed Interests in the Empire tract Ed. Goodrich of Wheatville was a business visitor in this city Thursday. HE PREFERRED A LICKING (By United Trees) Union City, Dec.

22. John Shaw, one of the witnesses in the night riders' case latt night testified that thirty masked men threatened him with punishment, two methods ot which were proposed, 1. to hang him, or lick hlmN He preferred to be licked and they, administered that punishment. GOODS FOUND AT ARMONA HAD BEEN CONSIGNED TO McCOURT NEWPORT OF THIS CITY. The knowledge of a mans handwriting, and the writing of a letter to San Francisco by Sheriff Buckner has established the fact that the underwear, socks, and comforters found at Armo-na last Monday by Constables Bernstein and Ilall, had been a shipment to the firm of McCou'rt of this city by the firm of Murphy, Grant Co.

of San Francisco. Newton Leggett, who came here to identify the property but could not, was indirectly the cause of the important discovery, for he told the sheriff that in the handwriting on one of the tags on the underwear he thought he recoguized the handwriting of a clerk in the employ of the above mentioned firm. With this clew Sheriff Buckner communicated with the San Francisco firm, asking them if they had made a shipment of those go. ds to any one in this city, and he enclosed a tag giving the shipping number. Last Friday he received a letter from Murphy Grant saying that they shipped the goods to McCourt Newport on December 12th, and they gave a list of the goods which tallied with the stolen plunder.

Last Friday the sheriff went to the store cf McCourt Newport, and there Mr. Newport looked up the stock numbers and found that they tallied exactly with the numbers In the letter, and Mr. Newport states that they had been looking for the goods which should have arrived here the fore part of the week. There is now no doubt but that-the three men, Chas. Williams, F.

E. Man-ley and Monique Davis, who were arrested at the time the goods were found, were concerned in the robbery of the car, which it is now certain to have taken place. As yet no robbery has been reported by the railroad company, and further developments are sure to come out soon. Chas. Williams, F.

E. Manley and Monique Davis, who were arrested at Armona on December 14th, and have been held at the county jail on suspicion of being connected with the theft of the goods consigned to McCourt Newport, of this city, have Deen charged with burglary in a complaint sworn to by Geo. Armstead, agent for the Southern Pacific company. It is now reasonably certain that the goods were taken from a box car, presumably in this ciiy, as a car was reported short" at about the time the robbery occurred. The men have not yet been taken into court.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL (From Thursdays Daily) Chittenden, Flory Co, real estate dealers have sold west quarter of the former W. S. Porter tract, south of Grangeville, to F. M. Silveria.

It is a fine tract of land. It is reported that Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lewis, formerly of Hanford but now residing at Porterville, are parents of a charming daughter. (From Fridays Daily) Arthur Anderson of Coalinga, one of the practical oil operators in that celebrated section, was a visitor in Hanford this week.

Mr. Anderson reports progress In the new well In which he is interested, but had no special Information to give out R. Justin Miller, who is a student at Stanford University, arrived here last night and will spend the holiday vacation with his father, RobL W. Miller. Young Miller has been making an excellent record at Stanford.

HAS TROUBLE OF HIS OWN A country weekly newspaper not far away, has started a society page, and It is a dandy. It tells all about Mary Anns tea and such things all In one department. The fun of the thing is that in the last issue the publisher, through a boble, inserted a horse advertisement between rules in the society column. The publisher has had troubles of his own ever since, and it all tends to prove that all the ways that arl dark and tricks that are vain and mistakes that are made, those of the newspaper man are seen of all men (and women), and he can't bury them. He can't turn them over to the coroner.

He cant put them In Jail. He cant preach their souls to Heaven. He has to stand up and take his medicine. DIVORCE CASE FILED. action entitled Sarah Alice Covert vs.

Chas. G. Covert was filed In superior court Saturday by J. V. Fef-guson, attorney Tor the plaintiff.

A decree of divorce is asked for on the grounds of habitual Intemperance. Plaintiff demanus the custody of'one minor child. DECREE OF DIVORCE GRANTED In the superior court last Saturday Judge Covert granted an Interlocutory decree to the plaintiff in the case of Mary J. Hale Alvord vs. J.

F. Alvord, the grounds of action being extreme cruelty. H. Scott acobs was attorney for the plaintiff. FINAL DECREE GRANTED A final decree of divorce in the case of Nellie Iverson vs.

George E. Al-verson was granted Dec. 17 by Superior Judge Covert. The cause of action was desertion, the Interlocutory decree having been granted on December 16th, 1907. J.

W. Ferguson was attorney for the plaintiff. Sacramento, Dec. 22. If experiments to be made are successful, the Southern Pacific company will install wireless telegraph apparatus on all locomotives, says the Union.

The passenger trains will be equipped first, and later the freight locomotives will have the most modern apparatus for receiving aerograms. One of the locomotives will be equipped with a wireless plant within a few days, and after the experiments have been made to determine what system and style of plant is best, all the trains will receive the new safety device. The engineers engaged by E. H. Harriman have, after months of experiment, evolved an apparatus which will send messages only to the trains tuned to receive them, thus preventing all other trains from receiving the message and preventing confusion and possible damage.

If two locomotives are speeding to a collision, each will have a warning message sent to it by the wireless station. A small metal box in the cab will flame red through its glass case as the warning reaches it, and a gong attached to the box will be set in motion. A small semaphore attached will point to danger. The engineer will be put on his guard, though he will not know the actual source of danger threatened. It is planned to establish sending stations every hundred miles in connection with the regular telegraph stations and depots.

The danger signals will be sent out according to the train numbers, not the looomotive numerals It is announced that the work of installation will begin as soon as patents on the new features of the apparatus can be secured. MANY INVESTORS IN REAL ESTATE County Recorder J. M. Bowman stated Tuesday the business of his office was on the increase, and that there were at present many investors from the southern part of the state making investments in Kings county lands. This would show that people still have faith in this section of the country, and are willing to place their money in lands here.

The office of the recorder is at present rushed with the many documents being filed. THE REAL HIGHEST UP It is reported that the Smithsonian Institution is going to put an observatory on the top of ML Whitney in Tulare county. That's good. When the telescope gets up there they will have to protect It from the lightning, and look ouL The top of old Whitney is where the tall of comets trail and where a telescope should be able to count the teeth of the man in the moon. CHRISTMAS-AT GRANGEVILLE It is reported from Grangeville that the church people and others will devote their energies toward making Christmas an enjoyable day for several transient families in that locality who are needy and no extensive celebration will be held at the church in the way of a Christmas tree.

BOYS ARE ARMED A report comes from Grangeville that several of the small boys in the neighborhood have procured pistols and cartridges some where, and that some of the youngsters are very careless. It ought to be learned where the children get the supply of the danger and the remedy applied. LANDSLIDE AT SANTA CRUZ (By United Tress) Santa Cruz, Dec. 22. There was a landslide at the plant of the Portland Cement co.

quarry at Davenport this morning and three men were bady injured, one of whom is unknown, the others being Jako Parkoo and Putro Sotano. THE BUTTER BUSINESS It is quite natural that good butter should go down and that poor butter should come up. Perhaps thats the reason that the price of the product sent from Kings county to Los Ange-less has a slight downward drop in the market GOVERNORS CONDITION. Sacramento Union: Governor Gil- lett arrived In Sacramento from Redding Thursday morning, and was hurried to his residence. The governor will not be able to take up official duties for a week or ten days or probably two weeks, for, thougu he was able to make the trip from Redding, he is still in a very weak condition.

He will see no visitors for a week or more. Secretary E. C. Cooper, who is now in charge oi the office, communicated with the governor Thursday, and was given some instructions. At that time the governor expressed a desire not to be bothered by Although not confined to his bed, the governor can take nothing but a light nourishment, and will have to subsist on this diet for a week or more.

FOR THAT DULL FEELING AFTER EATING. I have used Chamberlains Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating. David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion.

They also regulate the liver and bowel? They are far superior to pills but cost no more. Get a free sample at Cousins Howland's drug store and see what a splendid medicine it is. DAIRY INSPECTION AND SANITATION At the ninth annual convention of the California Creamery Operators Association, in San Francisco, there was a committee on resolutions appointed by President Jensen, consisting of E. It. Stowe of Stockton, W.

B. Cartmlll of Tulare, F. W. Johnson of Marysville, C. E.

Gray of Eureka and A. Lundy of San Francisco. Among the resolutions embodied In their report was the following, which was adopted by the convention, as the result of the deliberations of that hotly: Whereas, There Is a growing sentiment among the consumers of all classes of tood products which demands that their purity shall be above suspicion and that the sanitary conditions surrounding their production shall be such as to insure their whole-someness; and, Whereas, The production of dairy products is of a nature that too often tends to abuse as to their purity and toward low sanitary ideals unless controlled by proper legal regulations; and, Whereas, The existence of improper sanitary conditions surrounding the production of dairy products, even if their existence is only in exceptional instances, has had the effect casting reflection upon the dairy Industry as a whole, including the great and growing creamery industry of California; and, Whereas, Those identified with the creamery industry recognize the fact that improper sanitary conditions, both on the dairy farms from which the raw product of their Industries originates, and in the creamery plants as well, are responsible for heavy losses tnrough low quality in the product turned out, the discussions of this convention having clearly shown that faulty sanitary conditions are the primary cause of law quality in butter, as well as in otuer forms in which the products of dairy cows are consumed; and, Whereas, There is on the statutes of California a law which would be an effective remedy for improper sanitary conditions were it possible to enforce It properly; and, Whereas, The State Dairy Bureau, an institution having for its object the improvement of our dairy conditions and to aid in the development of the dairy resources ot Calnornla, has not during the past and present fiscal year been in a position to enforce the law relating to sanitary conditions surrounding tne dairy business, through the failure of the legislature at Its last session to renew the appropriation made by the preceding session which enacted the law, to provide an appropriation Tor Its enforcement, a failure that has been deeidy deplored by those familiar with the need for its enforcement; therefore, Resolved, that the California Creamery Operators Association, assembled in its ninth annual convention, again renews Its petition that the legislature at its coming session provide an appropriation that will enable the State Dairy Bureau to employ a force of inspectors ample to enforce the law referred to in the foregoing preambles. Resolved, That we approve and support the State Dairy Bureau, in its work in behalf of the betterment of the dairy industry of the Btate, and in its efforts to have the dairy Industry deal fairly with, the consumers to the extent that its limited financial support permits. AT THE ALTAR vM KECK-BADGER Married, Dec.

15th, 1908, five mlb's north of Hanford, George W. Keck and Miss Maud Badger. ihe scene of the nuptials of the above couple was at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.

A. Badger, five miles north of this city, where on December 15th, Rev. C. II. M.

Sutherland, pastor of the Kings River M. E. Church, spoke the words that made the couple man and wife. The wedding was a quiet affair there being about 20 of the immediate families of the contracting parties present. The bride was charmingly dressed In a gown of white crepe de chine.

The principals to the happy event are well known in Rings River circles, both being active workers in the Kings River M. E. churchi The groom Has rented the ranch cf Geo. H. Rogers, north -of this city, and there the newly wedded pair will reside.

Mr and Mrs. Keck will receive the hearty congratulations from their host of friends. IIENDERSHOT LACKEY Married, December 19, 1908, in Hanford, Emmett D. Hendershot and Miss Mattie L. Lackey.

Mr. and Mrs. Hendershot will reside In Oil Fields, where the groom is employed. NEW DELIVERY STAMPS. The new special delivery stamps which have lately been authorized by the government are a little smaller than the common-sized stamp and of a dark green color.

It will not absolutely take the place of the present practice of using 12 cents worth ot common stamps marked special delivery, but will be substituted for the present special delivery stamp. When the present supply of special delivery stamps runs 011 the new ones will take their place. RAIN AND SNOW IN THE NORTH (Hy United Tress) Marysville, Dec. 22. A warm rain Is falling anil the long cold spell Is broken.

The farmers are rejoicing. Chico, Dec. 22. Snow is falling here this morning. The Yuba and Feather rivers are rising slowly.

Snow Is also falling today at Red Bluff and Redding. Merced, Dec. 22. The fact that the railroad transportation has been completed to the entrance of the Yosemite National Park, has builded up a sentiment for a holiday time in the snows of the great wonderland of the west. During the week between Christmas and New Years, there will be hundreds of Californians who have never witnessed a snowfall or seen the earth under the beautiful, go into the valley from El Portal, the end of the railroad, and roll in the snow and revel in the great wonderland ot the earth.

Many parties have been organized to invade the valley during the coming ten days. INGERSOL ON MUSIC. In response to the toast, Music, noblest of arts," at the Liederkranz Stanton-Seldl banquet, New York, April 2, 1891, Col. R. G.

Ingersoll said: "Knowing nothing of the science ot music, 1 ain not always looking lvr defects, or listening for discords. As the young robin cheerfully swallows whatever comes, I hear with gladness all that is played. Music may be divided into three kinds: First, tne music of simple time, without any particular emphasis and this may be called the music of the heels; second, music in whica time Is varied, in which there is the eager haste and the delicious delay, that is, the fast and slow, in accordance with our feelings, with our emotions and this may be called the music of the heart; third, the music that includes time and emphasis, the hastening and the delay, and something in addition, that produces not only states of feeling, but states of thought. This may be called the music of the head ype music of the brain. "Music expresses feeling and thought, without language.

It was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. Beneath the waves in tne sea arove the clouds in the sky. Before man found a name for any thought, or thing, he had hopes and fears and passions, and these were rudely expressed in tones. "Of one thing, however, I am certain, and that is, that music was born of love. Had there never been any human affection there never could have been uttered a strain of music.

Possibly some mother, looking in the eyes of her babe, gave the first melody to the enraptured air. Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to express all that we feel; and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into musie. Music is the sunshine climate of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect June. 1 am also satisfied that the greatest music Is the most marvelous mingling of love and death. Love is the greatest cf all passions, and death is its shadow.

Death gets all its terror from love, and love gets Its intensity, its radiance, its glory, and its rapture, from the darkness of death. Love is a flower that grows on the edge of the grave. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. The spraying time has come, and as is the custom of the Sentinel to an-oually print the instructions of how to mix the material and cook it, we will do so again, only asking the reader to clip the formulae out and scrap it where he can have it lor reference. Put it in your cook-book, bible, phonograph, clock or piano put it any where where you can keep it for reference.

Here is the dope: Fresh lime, 5 pounds. Water, 50 gallons. Copper sulphate (blue stQne) 5 lbs. Dissolve the copper sulphate (blue stone) 1b a barrel containing 10 or 12 gallons of water. Slack the quick lime, and thin tp a creamy whitewash; pour the whitewash very slowly through a wire screen into the solution on blue-stong.

Stir the mixture thoroughly, and add enough water to make GO gallons in all. Stir occasionally while applying as spray to the trees. In the preparation of the Bordeaux mixture it Is inecessary that the Ingredients should be mixed In a wooden vessel. If an Iron vat is used the copper will go to the Iron and the effect of the spray will be largely neutralized. Apply the remedy cold as soon after it Is prepared as possible.

Never allow it to etand over night. Trees should he prune! before spraying if possible, and when the spraying is done every twig should ibe sprayed. It Is the new wood that bears the fruit and mo part ot the tree should be left uncovered. The mixture should be applied during the month of December to secure the best (results. TRAMPS BOUND FOR THE DESERT The tramp of feet seems to be toward the desert.

The Fresno Herald says: The police court was well packed Monday by a crowd of vagrants and drunks, the result of the efforts of the police to keep the citys streets clear of objectionable characters over Sunday. The drunks were an uninteresting lot, and in most cases were allowed to go with the payment of a nominal sum as a fine. About the only noticeable feature about the whole crowd was that most of the vagrants stated that they had arrived In Fresno from the north on their way to Mojave, where they expect to find work. This fact led Judge Briggs to remark that there must be 10,000 workmen In Mojave at present. During the last two months about two-thirds of the men who have been arreBted for vagrancy upon appearing in court have stated that they were on their way to Mojave to work.

SEND YOUR FRIEND THE SENTINEL When selecting your Christmas presents remember that a subscription to the Daily or Weekly Sentinel for six months or a year makes an especially appropriate gift, and one that will always be NEW RAISIN SCHEME J. D. Biddle sprung a new scheme for the marketing and cleaning up of raisin ciop niesday. which is to torm a pool and let all the raisins be delivered at the packing houses, and there to screen out all the small goods, leaving only the large sizes to be placed on the market. The disposal of the small and inferior goods he says could be used for hog feed and the proceeds from the sale of the hogs divided pro rata among the growers.

He is of the opinion that the grower in this way would realize as much as if the whole crop was placed on the market, which would not he glutted with the inferior stock. THE LAKE LEVEL. One gets the realization of the immense mass of water in such a lake as Erie by a study of the levels, the figures for which have just been Issued by the government. In spite of the long drouth, the period when rain did not fall for forty-two days any where along the southern watershed, Lake Erie is only one and three-fourths inches below me mean November level of the last ten years. It is twelve inchs higher than it was in November ot 1895.

The lake is eight and one-half inches lower than it was at this period last year. It is expected to fall about two inches in the month of Ncvember, but because of the dry spell it lost seven and one-half Inches. When it is remembered that October was an unusually warm month, that it had few days when rain fell that was measurable, and that the sun beat upon the lake almost continuously, it seems strange that so little water was lost. An entire year of drouth might make so little difference in the level that it would be less a danger to navigation than an inconvenience. Toledo Blade.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE Thomas, a gentleman who has for several years had interests in the Coalinga oil fields, and who has had experience ks a newspaper man, has purchased the Coalinga Oil Record, and will take possession of that paper on the first of the coming year. He will put in an entire new plant. The old Record plant will be taken over by purchase by tty; Brown Bros. who will conduct a job office. Mr.

Thomas was a visitor here Tuesday, attending to some business matters. The Sentinel sees a bright future for the Oil Record, and with the continued growth of Coalinga, it will become an important newspaper of this valley. COUNTRY SCHOLARS IN HIGH SCHOOL Prof. II. Rode of the Hanford Union high school, in speaking generally of school matters stated that about 50 per cent of the pupils of the high school come from the country districts.

This fact shows that, in proportion to population, the people of the country districts are taking more advantage of the high school than the people of this city. Another item of interest in connection herewith, Is that the people of the city are always relied upon when it becomes necessary to carry a special tax or bond issue. SALE TABLE A SUCCESS The members of ihe Young Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church, are more than pleased with the result of the sale table held at the home of Mrs. J. D.

Biddle Saturday. Many visitors were present and the many beautiful and useful articles on sale caught the eye of many customers, and when the receipts were counted it was found that the amount reached beyond $100. The sum will be used where needed in the work and improvements of the church. BARGAIN OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHOPPERS AT LE-MOORE FURNITURE STORE Messrs. Bryans Kennedy, the furniture dealers at Lemoore, have a large stock of furniture, carpets, rugs, especially suitable for Christmas presents.

Their stock is all new and moderately priced. Watch their advertisement in this paper for announcements. TO ISSUE DIFFERENT CERTIFICATES State Superintendent of Public In-structh Hyatt has received an opinio front Attorney General Webb, declaring that hereafter he will have to issue different types of certificates to high school teachers, and not the same kind as has been given grammar school teachers. Sacramento Union. EARTHQUAKING AGAIN A report was received here Tuesday -that a severe earthquake shock occurred in San Francisco at 1:49 p.

and office men and girls were in many instances frightened from their stations and buildings swayed to and fo. The press service and the San Francisco newspapers are very careful not to send out or publish these demonstrations, which are of almost dally occurrence. HEN MEN IN CONVENTION (By United Press) Santa Cruz, Dec. 21. The California Poultry Institute convened here this morning, and Prof Jaffa, director of the pure food and drug laboratory, and Dr.

Sheward, HEALTH OFFICERS PERFECT ORGANIZATION Dr. N-. K. Foster, secretary of the state board of health, returned Thursday from Portland, where he attended a meeting the health officers of the coast, state, proviacial and and was elected president of a permanent organization of those officials, says the Sacramento Union. The meeting was called at the instance of Dr.

Foster, and was for the purpose of organizing and acting As a unit against invasion of Asiatic diseases. Dr. Foster said that the meeting was entirely a and it is well that the organizations were effected, because some of the Portland people had already begun to censure the San Francisco bay cities for alleged neglect In the fumigation of Incoming and outgoing steamers and ocean vessels, as was the ease when the bubonic plague agitation was et its height Dr. Foster said some of the Portland people consider San Francisco is not taking the proper safeguards against tho disease. However, now that the entire Pacific coast is organized under the head of a health officers society, it will be possible to get unity of action, and one part of the coast can give a point for the benefit of another.

We thought. It would be better for us to work in harmony Instead of pulling in different directions, Inasmuch as our Interests are kindred ones, said Dr. Foster. The coast, he intimated, has not only to protect Itself against Asiatic plagues, but also against the slander of the east, a sample of which was recently published when a weekly said this state, and especially San Francisco, Is a breeding place for the plague. Besides discussing the Asiatic disease proposition, the health officers, after they had perfected their organization, passed several resolutions regarding suggested changes In the general municipal laws against disease.

The tuberculosis situation was also discussed, and not a little attention paid to smallpox.
