"Ciiliforntn h full of hnrd-lnck stories, but generally the cmw for that condition down there are differ ent from thoe liere.O'he effect of tho war on the situation in Cnlifoinin is the same, of course; but most of that ii fictitious. There has been no true excuse for the banks to hold the money behind tho boltnof their vaults to the injury of those whoso custom it.hns been to do business through thee institutions; but thev have done it: and many business concerns,, including. those. of the .far mers, have been .seriously crippled. ilanv fanners who were driven to get money :u some manner have had to lull up n hij bonus for it.

Thai is sheer lack of enterprise. Hut nianv of them told me, nn the occas ion of my former visit, that they had for year been discouraged by indif ferent trentment by the business men nnd their nrttunirntiuiw of the towns of the vnlley; that, instead of gmng ltfOnl producers a full opportunity to iircatc and maiutaic a local market for thoir pnducts, they appeared over-ready to ie the importing job ber the 'edge' on everything he Iiun dlud. Investigation proved this .state ment to bo luio in many instances. "This is ruinous. It is perilously ho for U10-.0 whoso investments hire pivo them a deeper interest thau that of parsing an etrn pennv oer the vctnilt r!n counter for. nn imported article.
