interesting. If every acre of land in

' told how he cheated the railroad by
not using hi return ticket to the east,
but remained right here, where an ac
cident on the railroad had happened .to
laud him. He waa quite eulogistic
over the future possibilities of this
region aud paid Mr. Carton a glowing

matter lies at the bottom of the future
welfare of this country and that its
solution would have much to do with
the nrwth of the grape growing in
dustry. He wanted this yalley to be
the home of the small fanner, who
wonld spend his enrnings here and
help develop the country but did not
want the capitalist to gobble it up
and then take the earnings to spend
elsewhere. Attorney Van Pkye's
toast was enthusiastically received.
Hon. 0. S. Blanchard. in recapitu
lating tho remarks of the evening
touched the keynote of the occasion by
propositig that the city council be
requested to pass an ordinance licens
ing such reputable realty dealers as W.

Moss and the like, but making it im
possible for the curbstone broker to
business to the" detriment ofth
liable firms. This sentiment was

received and by a standing votefr'

the idea. Mr. Blanchard tulivew
