A Marvelous Acre
What Is considered tlie most won
derful acre In the world Is In Cleuu
county, California, and was once a
tiny fraction of a great wheat field,
Samuel O. Cleek bought It nearly :!0
years ago. There was no water for
It, but Mr. Cleek put down two wells
and found water enough for his acre.
Kvery foot of that acre is in use.
Here Is an Inventory:
Cottage and veranda, :!0x30 feet;
barn and corral, 75x7.1 feet; two
windmill towers, ltlxlti feet; garden
4'ix!Mi feet; citrus nursery, !M(x!)s feet,
containing 400 budded orange trees:
a row of dewlierries along the fence,
lonx2 feet; four bearing apricot trees,
two oak trees, six tifi trees, teu lo
cust trees, one paradise tree, four
bearing bread trees, thirty rose
bushes, twenty geraniums, twelve
lemon trees, a lime tree, eight bear
ing orange trees, six tieds of violets,
0x2 feet each, one patch J'lpauese
bamboo, one bed of calla lilies, four
prune trees, six cypress trees, four
teen stands of bees, four huge grape
vines, one bed of sage, one large gar
den and flower seed bed, besides hon
eysuckle and other rare and beautiful
plants and shrubs.
The size of the acre depends upon
the farmer who owns it.

PRE-COOLING RATES
BEFORE COMMISSION
A feature of i he fruit Industry t lint
has tieen occupyb t le minds of en
terprising gro.vei- nceiitly, Is that
of pre coollng. It is claimed by ex
perts who hav r made i study of the
question that fi tlit can be sh'ppe In
better condition if i i.-d down to a
low temperuiurc before being put
Into the car, and shipped without
Ice, than It can by In ing shipped In
an Iced car without pre cooling. The
eont of pre-cooling is much less than
that of shippfng under ire.
Fruit shipping associations have
taken up tlie pre-cooling plan, but
claim they are being charged more
by the railroads than they ought to
pay.
A decision, therefore, recently ren
pcred by tlie Interstate Commerce
Commission in a, case brought by the
California Fruit Exchange against
the Southern Pacific and Atchison,
Tope"ka & Santa Fe Ky. Companies,
is of Interest. Heretofore the rail
way made a charge of $'i0 a car for
pre-cooling and would not permit
the exchange to pre-cool at Its own
expense. The exchange asked tlie
commission to reduce the railway's
pre-cooling charge to f 7.50 a car, al-
I leged to be a reasonable fee, and for
the privilege of doing the pre-cooling
itself if it so desired. It won on both
points. Tlie text of the commerce
commission's decision Is as follows:
"Clearly these growers who have
devised and perfected this system of
shipment should not be compelled to
pay f.r the privilege of using It more
than the fair cost to the carrier of
providing tlie additional facilities
which are not Included lu the venti
lated rate with a fair profit. We are
of the opinion that the pre-cooling
charge of $.'10 per car Is unreasonable
cussed In all Its bearings. At the
close of the meeting a commltte was
appointed to formulate plans under
which the various Interests could be
brought together for future practl-
and that this charge should not ex
ceed $7.50 per car.
"It is urged that to allow shippers
to pre-cool their own shipments will
result in discrimination In favor of
the larire and ncalnst the small shin.
per. but this Is not. apparently, truefl'al al"1 ,ffivt,v eoo.ratlon
under actual conditions at the pres.
ent time."
The decision Is regarded as a blow
to the pre-cooling establishments
that have been erected by the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific roads In
Souheru California.
NORTHWEST NOTES
There is great rejoicing In Olyinpla
because the legislature has decided'
that work shall liegln on the con
struction of a permanent cnpltol
building. This means that (Hympii
shall retain the seat of the state gov
erhment. Often, In the past, has
there been agitation to select some
other city for this honor; but Olyin
pla has always resisted outside
claims. Now a temple of justice Is to
lie erected at a cost of $:50,MK. It
will be the first of a uroup of build
ings on the Sylvester site, owned by
the state, overlooking Puget Sound.
The main building will be built later
on, on the foundation put In several
years ago, nt a cost of $100,0h).
