Refreshments were served at midnight and everybody appeared to enjoy themselves immensely as long as the party lasted, which was until 3 o'clock the next morning. SAN FRANCISCO HAY MARKET The following report on the condition of the San Francisco hay market Is furnished by Scott Magner, hay and grain merchants, In a circular under date of Nov. 6: Receipts of hay for the past six days have been 2527 tons. Continued shortage of cars holds down receipts, and has strengthened trading and prices.

This week the San Francisco Hay Association has compiled Its tabulation of the stock of hay on hand available for this market on November 1st. Greatly to the surprise of the local trade, and much to Its consternation, It appears that there Is on hand but 116,850 tons. These figures are significant when compared with the stock of last year at the same time of tons, being a shortage of over tons. This looks particularly serious when the records are examined and show the amount of hay consumed In the San Francisco market between November and May In the last four years, follows: The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years.

Mrs. Nettie Bond, wife of Judge Thomas B. Bond, formerly a resident of Napa, died at Lakeport at an early hour Tuesday morning, November 3d. The following particulars aie taken from the Clear Lake Press of November 7th: Although the end was not unexpected, Mrs. Bond having been seriously ill for eight days previous, it was none the less a shock to the loving relatives and the many friends of this estimable woman.

Her illness was due to digestive troubles, but Mrs. Bond had well reached the allotted span of life, being over 73 years of age. Mrs. Bonds maiden name was Henrietta Siddons, and she was born in St. Louis, July 30th, 1835.

The greater part of her girlhood was spent in Alabama. She came to California in 1865 and was married the same year to Thomas B. Bond, who survives her. The couple lived -in Ukiah for eighteen years, where Mr. Bond held the office of Superior Judge for a time, and other prominent positions.

For nearly twenty years past they have been respected and loved residents of Lakeport. Besides her husband, a sister, Mrs. Margaret Gray, who has long lived with them, survives Mrs. Bond. A sincere tribute is paid the departed woman by her many old friends, who now condole with the bereaved relatives in their and the communitys loss.

She was a faithful and loving wife, and noted for her benevolence and warm attachment for her fi lends Mrs. Bond was a member of the Catholic Church and died with perfect trust in her faith. She was conscious to the last moment and said she was willing to go. Funeral services were held at the family home Tuesday afternoon at 4 oclock, Rev. Father Toepfer of the Mission and the local Catholic Church conducting them.

The remains were taken to Ukiah Wednesday morning for interment there. AT ilk The agony experienced by us is now over. Election day has passed and is a matter defunct, and whether our newly elected government officials will fulfill the many promises given bj them during their active canvass, time alone-can tell; but all we can hope for is to always keep before us requant populi or let the people rule. On the night of the 28th of October a slight stabbing affray occurred at Yountville, a bottle or jug of the ardent being the cause of belligerancy between two veterans, one Saunders and one Connor, who goes by the soubriquet of Gypsy, resulting in Saunders being sent to the hospital for repairs, and Gypsy to ornament the inside of prison bars to await the result of Saunders injuries; but I presume that no material damage resulted, as Saunders is about and around and seems capable of repelling all boarders if he has to shoulder the onus at any time yet future. Wm.

Coleman was buried to-day with military honors. He was an associate of mine while in Uncle Sams navy, aged 68; and another man, a staunch friend of mine, ODonnell by name, who from all reports appears to be in a worn-out condition. A minstrel show was given at the Home on Saturday evening, 31st and to all appearances was received by the old men with great eclat. William Ellitson, late a resident of the Veterans Home, is building himself a small cottage on the grounds owned by Mr. Landis laundry property in Yountville villa.

Business now with Judge Starkey is of the quiet order. Eugene Webber, considering the time, has a good influx of business. Halloweea wfas taken advantage of by some young woulcDbe citizens in removing signs, fencing, ut no material damage resulted, only an noyance. Our death list amounts to three since my last advices.

The largest and most complete biennial report ever gotten out by tht State Board of Health has just lain rendered to Governor Cillelt by Dr. N. K. Foster, Secretaty of the present State Board of Health. The report is a very lengthy one and replete with information.

Dr. Foster recommends that an assistant secretary and a consulting engineer be allowed the board, ptovision to be made by the Legislature foi those officials. According to the report the health of the State is very good. A greater portion of the repot is given over to vital statistics, compiled by Statistician George D. Leslie.

Leslie shows that the births registered in California numbered 24,647 for 1907, against 20,974 for 1906, an increase of 3,700, The per cent of increase was 18.6 for the counties noith of Tcha-chapi, compared with 15 6 for thoe to the south. The 24,674 babies in 1907 included 12,645 boys and 12,029 girls, while of the 20,974 in 1906 10,063 were male and 10,048 female. The per cent of male was only 51.2 for 1907, against 52 1 for 1906, the general excess of male births being less marked in tlu last year covered than in the one before. The marriages registered in California totaled 23,005 for 1907, against 21,317 for 1906, a gain of 1688, or 7.9 per cent. The per cent of increase was 9.7 for Northern California and 7.0 for Central California, or 7.4 for both together, against 9.2 for Southern California.

The deaths In California, exclusive of still births, numbered 31,095 for 1907, against 29,303 in 1906, an increase of 1792, or 6.1 per cent. There were decreases for 1907, as compared with 1906 in San Francisco and in the-coast counties of Central California, on account of the excessive modality from earthquake and fire in April, 1906. The per cent of increase In deaths was 11.8 for Northern California and only 2.1 for Central California, or 3 7 for both together, against 12 4 for Southern California.

LEVINSON Trading Druggist An Immense Region Without Railroads to be Investigated by Government Engineers.

"WASHINGTON, D. Nov. 9. The State of Oregon includes within its boundanes an area almost as large as the State of Ohio untraversed by a single mile of railroad. To the town of Silver Lake, in this area, belongs the distinction of being the postoffice farther away fiom a railroad than any other in the United States.

It is 175 miles fiom the nearest railway station to Silver Lake, and over this distance supplies of all kinds such as hardware, foodstuffs, and, in fact, everything that is not laised in the immediate vicinity must be hauled by team; and yet, contrary to the popular notion, the country about this towrn is far fiom being a barren desert. In the past stock raising has been the principal industry, for lack of transportation facilities has made it profitable to raise only such produce as could be fed to stock that can be driven to market. The soil is, however, well adapted to dry farming methods, and on some areas that can be artificially watered almost any of the ordinary farm products can be successfully grown. Nature of the Country. The country consists of a rather high plateau, in altitude from about 2,000 feet above sea on its eastern border to about 4,000 feet on the west.

It is bounded on the noith by the Blue and Strawberry mountains and on the west by the Cascade Range. The streams draining the northern, eastern and western slopes of these mountains find their way to the sea through the Columbia; those of the southern slopes drain into lakes, from which the wrater escapes only by evap-oiation, and which belong to what is known as the Great Basin drainage. The principal streams flowing to the sea are Malheur and Deschutes rivers, the main tributary of the last named being Crooked River; the principal streams flowing to the Great Basin are Chewaucan River, Silver Creek, Silvios River, and Donner and Blitzen rivers. In addition to the water supply represented by these streams, considerable water for both irigation and domestic use can probably be obtained from artesian wells when settlement makes it necessary. WONDERFUL SURGICAL OPERATIUNS.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9. The wonders of experimental surgety accomplished at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York City, were outlined Saturday before the opening session of the American Philosophical Society in much greater detail than they have ever before been given to the public. Among the latest achievements of science described by Dr. Alexis Carroll, who has accomplished many of the most difficult experiments at the Rockefeller Institute, was the transplanting of one dogs log onto another dogs body.

The fox terrier patient readily assumed normal control of the new leg, hich was taken from a dead dog, and within three weeks the wound showed only a scar and the dog was up and around on all fours, three that were originally his and one of the late lamented other dogs. The transplanting of cats kidneys into other cats, even after the organs have been in cold storage sixty days, has proved entirely successful. Human arteries and jugular veins have been Interchanged and the patients have not been able to tell the difference. Application of the experiments performed on dogs and cats, to the rejuvenating of ailing humanity, is in the announced opinion of Dr. Carroll entirely possible.

THE THANKSGIVING SEASON. Unhappy indeed must be the man who, because of political disappointment, cannot find something in life for which he can express his thanks daily, and his especial thanks upon the holiday set apart for that express purpose. While It is natural that disappoint-merit In politics, like disappointment in love or In business, should create depression, yet there is surely something, somewhere, which will suffice to more than equalize the balance If it Is but brought out and properly enjoyed. For one thing, if you can not rejoice because your plans have not been bettered, you can at least rejoice that things no Cheerfulness is a habit that may be, and should be, cultivated by every human being. It will help you to bear reverses with a smile and face the future with hope.

It is ill Mexico, and Contains 8,000,000 Acres 1.800.000 Head of Stock. The biggest farm if farm It can be called is that owned by Don Luis Terrazas in the State of Chihuahau, Mexico, which measures from north to south 150 miles, and from east to west 200 miles, or 8,000,000 acres in all, says Tit-Bits. On the prairies and mountains roam 100,000,000 head of cattle, 700,000 sheep and 100,000 horses. The farm house is probably the most magnificent in the world, for It cost 400,000 to build, and is more richly furnished than many a royal palace. On the homestead alone are employed 100 male servants.

The gardens are superbly laid out, the stables more magnificent than those of the German Emperor, and there is accommodation for 500 guests if necessary. Scattered over this vast ranch are a hundred outlying stations, each one of which has charge of a certain portion of the estate. The horsemen, cow punchers, line riders, shepherds and hunters number 2,000, and the Terrazas ranch is the only one in the world which maintains is own slaughtering and packing plant. Each year 150,000 head of cattle are slaughtered, dressed and packed, and 100.000 sheep. Don Luis personally superintends the different industries on his ranch, covering many thousands of miles, on horseback during a twelve-month.

Don Luis was at one time Governor of Chihuahua, but public life did not suit him; it was too quiet, and he preferred to spend his life riding over the plains and looking after his own enterprises. He is three times as rich as any other man in Mexico, and has the name of being liberal and generous toward his work people. Don Luis is a very handsome man, married to a beautiful wife. He is the father of twelve children seven sons and five daughters. The sons are all associated with Don Luis in looking after the ranch, while the daughters said to be the most beautiful women in Mexico remain quietly at the homestead All the children were educated in the United States, are highly accomplished, have traveled through Europe and speak several languages.

Don Luis founded his cattle ranch about fourteen years ago, and four years later he sought to import the finest cattle from Scotland and England. But there was considerable difficulty in the way. The import duty on foreign cattle wTas so heavy that It was impossible to bring over the animals in numbers sufficient for his purpose, so Don Luis appealed to the Mexican government, pointed out the absurdity of restricting the importation of good stock and succeeded in getting the import tax repealed. Since that time Terrazas has increased his stock by the Importation of something like five thousand bulls of the best breeds from the famous studs of Europe. Five years ago Terrazas installed on his ranch four big reservoirs, costing 100,000, besides which there are 300 wells scattered over the huge farm, some of them going down to a depth of 600 feet.

These wells, the wrater from which Is raised by means of windmills, cost another 100,000. Every kind of grain is grown, and Don Luis is constantly experimenting in the raising of different foods for supplying the wants of his immense herds during the rainless season. An enemy which has to be sternly fought on this great ranch is fire, and scarcely a Summer passes without great tracts of prairie being laid waste by its destroying- advance. Throughout the torrid months there is a man stationed on the lookout at every station each hour out of the twenty-four, and directly he sees indications which tell him that a fire has started he rings the massive alarm bell, and in an incredibly short time men come riding In.ready to fight the danger with their lives if necessary. The frightened cattle are driven sidewise from the line of the oncoming fire, and then the enemy is attacked from the rear.

It is no good attempting to stop a prairie fire from the front, for its progress is too rapid and too annihilating. Heavy chains are dragged along the ground, which help to weaken and dissipate the fire. Across the prairie long furrows fifty feet apart are quickly made and these also help to stem the progress of the fire. At night the fight is kept up, and not until the last spark is quenched are the men able to take food and rest. In these efforts to subdue the flames Don LuTS and his sons are usually to be seen working like demons and urging their men to greater efforts.

Fighting a prairie fire has all the elements of danger, and for excitement It has few equals. For this reaeon Don Luis takes a fierce delight in combatting the flames, and declares that It is one of the fascinations 'of a prairie life. GOOD ELECTRIC LIGHTS An absolute necessity toward good liglils is that you buy good lamps. The customer who buys low grade, refilled lamps not only does the lighting company an injustice but handicaps himself as well. As a poor piece of machinery consumes more power and renders less service so it is with poor lamps.

For this reason any lighting company will endeavor to furnish customers the highest grade lamps at the lowest possible price. We sell the Edison 1G candle power lamps at 20 cents on 30 days time or 17 cents spot cash. NAPA GAS ELECTRIC CO. 1J) North Main Street. GLOVES Now is (lie season that demands kid gloves.

A La Spirite Corset Reasoning therefore from these figures, the San Francisco market should be bare of hay about the 1st of April, 1909, and unless supplies are received from neighboring States, there is not enough in sight to go around, and there is a possibility of serious hay shortage.

If not actual hay famine. When it is considered that with the figures and normal consumption as above, there have been on hand on the 1st of May for the last five years, at the least 22,500 tons, and at the most 60,000 tons, the gravity of the situation may be appreciated. "While the local dealers have realized there is a shortage in hay, the great deficiency has not been appreciated until now. We learn from the interior that pastures are exhausted, that absence of rain has prevented green feed from starting, and that farmers are already beginning to haul hay out of the warehouses to feed their stock. Should a dry season add its share to the situation, hay consumers of California are facing a very serious condition of affairs.

Trading in the interior has practically stopped, as the farmers are all holding their hay either to protect themselves from a possible dry season, or anticipating a considerable advance in prices through the Winter months. As a result of the above conditions, there Is a marked feeling of strength in our local market, and prices are advancing. Under any conditions, we look for an advance In market prices In the near future, which will become much greater should rain hold off for any length of time. Following Is the range of prices on to-day's market: Choice wheat hay, $21 to $22.60 per ton. No.

1 wheat or wheat and oat, $19 to $21 per ton. No. 2 wheat or wheat and oat hay, $16 to $17 per ton. Choice tame oat hay, $17.60 to $18.50 per ton. Other tame oat hay, $15 to $16 per ton- Wild oat hay, $14.50 to $16.60 per ton.

Stock hay, $12 to $13 per ton. Alfalfa hay, to $15 per Straw, 65 to 80c per bale. Mr. Askitt Do you think marriage Is a failure? Mrs. De Vorsay No; merely a temporary embarrassment.
