Neither Maj :r Bonebi-ako nor Mr. Glllalan would admit this, however. M-.

Jouu»o:i*a retirement from ihe directory. Mr, Johnson had b3Oll one of the strongest supporters of hi i po Icy on the hoard, and as the Johnson stock wis purchased with the evident desire of reorganizing tho bank ln the Interest of a fact ou th it aspired to control its destln*', In mad--fiem an offer of hia stock, aUo. and it was aco spied. While he felt proud of the record he had male da lag his two incimb'mcy as prosi lent aad manager ol the institution, it was with a so isj of relief that he laid astdo the r jspousibiiity and retired from work that was too confining aud exacting to suit his tastes.

NEVER IN BIVtBQ SHAPE. ''You can say," Eaid President Cochran, "that the bank was never In better shape than it is today. During tho two years of my adraluls- tratlou tho business of every department, in- cluding income from ravings vaults, clearing houso and d-posits has increased about three- fold; and during my entire incumbency 9433 will cover all thedoub'ful loans that navo been made. There is a record. I thiak, which ho other bauk in the city can eXv?ol. "3omethiug has beeu sal 1iv tho paners about tho concern, undor my management, having changed from a savings bank to a ragttltW com- mercial bank. It &s tho latter in tho strictest sense of the word. When I took charge a law suit was pending to prove that it was not a sav- ings bank and the suit was won. Itis '.rue that the bank pays interest oudapodtsat tiie same rate aud under th-j same coudi lio is as regular eavings banks, but italso doo;a r.jgular com- morcfal and assumes tru <ts for estates, etc.; In fact it has a hr.oader scope than almost any other financial ins ltutiou in the city. "It is tho cooimorcial dep-a-lmjat taat haa developed moH under my manaiemeut.

Oeeda 49 Nominal 25 Total * 18,523.50 A Daslrabl) Plant for Alkali Landa Uural Californium The reclamation of alkali soils to render them suitable fc«r cultivated crops la a matter of more than p'lssin* mom :nt to a larre number of soil tiUers in diff irent pinions of tbo state. A re- cent bulletin ol the agricultural experiment station at Be-keloy gives an ac: mm of a forage plant fo-alkali soils commonly known as tbe Australian salt huh. b nanically as A triplex S 'lnlba catum. Baron Yon Mueller aays of it, in bia excellent work on B>iect Extra Tropioal plants that it is ' a perrenlal herb, raueh liked byahtip, and considered among the best of aa ma herbige of ihe salt bush country." Au- otiier autliorltypronouuoes It as "wonderful for its produc;ive:ioss, and Its drouth-reslstlng power. It 1b a native of extra-tropical regions of Amtralin. Experiments made with it at the Tulr c stuiou iv some of the worst alkali spots give ex tallent ro.uits, single, piauts reaching a dia- meter of 10 feet in one season. luhab.titls prostrate, covering tha ground lo a dopt.h of 8 1010 Inches. Tha yield Is about 20 tona of gre iv mateliaL or about 5 tons oi dry to ihe nore. Tin bulletin m question gives tho fol- lowing summary of practical advantages of the salt bush: 1. It can be grown successfully on arid aud alkali lauds. 2. Soils where the perc intages of alkali aro near tho limit of tolerance cau no doubt bi sensibly relieved by p anting the salt bush and permanently removing each cutting from the land. 3. Tho yield is large, abo it the same as tbat of alfalfa or the flat pea. 4. The composition Is, aside from ths ash, such as to m ike it an excellent food for atock; it su >ms to be readily eaten by them. Inconnluslon, the budoiiu Intimates that the only quostion remaining of solution is whether tai largo amount of ssllue ingredients will prove h irin.es; 10all kluds of slock, and especi- ally milch cows. Obviously no sailing will be :equ red: mid if no purgative ertecte are noted, no other uisaivautages naed be feared. We suggest to our leiders troubled with alkali to send 10 ins experiment station at Berkeley for seeds or plants for trial culture. Oleomargarine vs. Butter. [Rural Californlan.] Xh<s increased aula of oleomargarine, butter- ine and Ovherdec jctlotw under thj guise and nam -i ot creamery batter iv Southern iJaiifor- Btn U a matter that demands attention, and ?tgiiln emphasizes the need of strm<ont na- tional and state legislation ln the interest of pure food products. The Injury of this nefari- ous business i»t mt ao much in tho inanufac tote of bjgus batter, as in the deception pr*c- ticed upon Ihii public in placing It on aale as the genulue article. We understand that most of the hotels, boaiding Uou esnud restaurants hereabouts are now usiug oloomargiriue almost exclusively. Its fain and consumption is in- crewiug dtily, and the dairy iutyrosis are of course Buffering proportionately. A consulta- tion of the lawreiuUtlun the sale oi oleomar- garine in this state shows that in ao far as legislation is concerned, all users of bogus but- tei In public places are subject to punishment unless the fact ia announced ln a conspicuous phtco in large letters, not less than two inches iv diameter. It is ol course needless to add that so far tbe law hai proved a dead letler on tho statute books, Tne aw should be enforced to provent frauds in this direction as weil as other*. It la no crim-i to Bell oleomaigar.ne or serve It at table as such, and If the public knowingly pitnm'zes restaurants and hotels where it is put upon tho table there is no wrong-doing: but we submit that to serv) or sell hogun butter for the pur« creamery article U not only a deception, but a swindle that should be stopped.

NEVER IN BIVtBQ SHAPE.''You can say," Eaid President Cochran, "that

the bank was never In better shape than itistoday. During tho two years of my adraluls-tratlou tho business of every department, in-cluding income from ravings vaults, clearinghouso and d-posits has increased about three-fold; and during my entire incumbency 9433willcover all thedoub'ful loans that navo beenmade. There is a record. I thiak, which hoother bauk in the city can eXv?ol.

"3omethiug has beeu sal 1iv tho paners abouttho concern, undor my management, havingchanged from a savings bank to a ragttltW com-mercial bank. It &s tho latter in tho strictestsense of the word. When I took charge a lawsuit was pending to prove that it was not a sav-ings bank and the suit was won. Itis '.rue thatthe bank pays interest oudapodtsat tiie samerate aud under th-j same coudi lio is as regulareavings banks, but italso doo;a r.jgular com-morcfal and assumes tru <ts for estates,etc.; In fact it has a hr.oader scope than almostany other financial ins ltutiou in the city."It is tho cooimorcial dep-a-lmjat taat haa

developed moH under my manaiemeut. Therato of lut?rost onßavlngs d"piaitsis less thauwhen Icamo lv, and makes a saving Ivthe ex-penses of thebvikof $100 a mouth ut loist.The ratea now paid are 5 per cent ou turm de-posits, 4par c;nt on U-mouth curtificalcß aud 3per ceut on ordiniry deposits.

AN ACTIVK rUESIOC 'T,

"Whoa Major Bonebrako resigned the presi-dency two year.* a ;\u25a0>. il was to make room forau active president, as his time was fullytakenup with his many Ovhcr interest?. If ny fau'tcan bo found with mo as president, I think Itmust be thai T have been ton active. Ido notknow wbo my cuccsssor wilt be, but th 'ro are anumber of good men to lalaoi from, and 1 haveno doubt that the iuterents of the bank will bawell looked after, whoever may b? at the h?im,With its central location aud exoollont rooint*.I!ee no reason why the bank mi- uld not con-tinue to prosper and be orue ono of tho largestaud btst banking Institutions iv the city."

grangers and most of the usually active stockswere without important changes. At the de-livery hour the temper of speculation under-went a changj for tho bettor, with little trad-ing. Prices continued to advance to Hia close

A Daslrabl) Plant for Alkali LandaUural Californium

The reclamation of alkali soils to render themsuitable fc«r cultivated crops la a matter of morethan p'lssin* mom :nt to a larre number of soiltiUers in diff irent pinions of tbo state. A re-cent bulletin ol the agricultural experimentstation at Be-keloy gives an ac: mm of a forageplant fo-alkali soils commonly known as tbeAustralian salt huh. b nanically as A triplexS 'lnlba catum. Baron Yon Mueller aays of it,in bia excellent work on B>iect Extra Tropioalplants that it is ' a perrenlal herb, raueh likedbyahtip, and considered among the best ofaa ma herbige of ihe salt bush country." Au-otiier autliorltypronouuoes It as "wonderful forits produc;ive:ioss, and Its drouth-reslstlngpower. It 1b a native of extra-tropical regionsof Amtralin.

Experiments made with it at the Tulr cstuiou ivsome of the worst alkali spots giveex tallent ro.uits, single, piauts reaching a dia-meter of 10 feet in one season. luhab.titlsprostrate, covering tha ground lo a dopt.h of 81010 Inches. Tha yield Is about 20 tona ofgre ivmateliaL or about 5 tons oi dry to ihenore. Tin bulletin m question gives tho fol-lowing summary of practical advantages of thesalt bush:

1. It can be grown successfully on arid audalkali lauds.

2. Soils where the perc intages of alkali aronear tho limit of tolerance cau no doubt bisensibly relieved by p anting the salt bush andpermanently removing each cutting from theland.

3. Tho yield is large, abo it the same as tbatof alfalfa or the flat pea.

4. The composition Is, aside from ths ash,such as to m ike itan excellent food for atock;it su >ms to be readily eaten by them.

Inconnluslon, the budoiiu Intimates that theonly quostion remaining of solution is whethertai largo amount of ssllue ingredients willprove h irin.es; 10all kluds of slock, and especi-ally milch cows. Obviously no sailing will be:equ red: mid if no purgative ertecte are noted,no other uisaivautages naed be feared. Wesuggest to our leiders troubled with alkali tosend 10 ins experiment station at Berkeley forseeds or plants for trial culture.

Oleomargarine vs. Butter.[Rural Californlan.]

Xh<s increased aula of oleomargarine, butter-ine and Ovherdec jctlotw under thj guise andnam -i ot creamery batter iv Southern iJaiifor-Btn Ua matter that demands attention, and?tgiiln emphasizes the need of strm<ont na-tional and state legislation ln the interest ofpure food products. The Injuryof this nefari-ous business i»t mt ao much in tho inanufactote of bjgus batter, as in the deception pr*c-ticed upon Ihii public in placing It on aale asthe genulue article. We understand that most

of the hotels, boaiding Uou esnud restaurantshereabouts are now usiug oloomargiriue almostexclusively. Its fain and consumption is in-crewiug dtily, and the dairy iutyrosis are ofcourse Buffering proportionately. A consulta-tion of the lawreiuUtlun the sale oi oleomar-garine in this state shows that in ao far aslegislation is concerned, all users of bogus but-tei In public places are subject to punishmentunless the fact ia announced ln a conspicuousphtco in large letters, not less than two inchesiv diameter. It is ol course needless to addthat so far tbe law hai proved a dead letler ontho statute books, Tne aw should be enforcedto provent frauds in this direction as weil asother*. It la no crim-i to Bell oleomaigar.ne orserve It at table as such, and Ifthe publicknowingly pitnm'zes restaurants and hotelswhere it is put upon tho table there is nowrong-doing: but we submit that to serv) orsell hogun butter for the pur« creamery articleU not only a deception, but a swindle thatshould be stopped.
