Ths second prize in The Bee Booklov erV contest is located in Te.hama county, California. The northern part of Tehama count v is c really enhanced by Its place in the valley. The .Sacramento in the nor'hem extension of the great central valley of California and is about HA mile- Ions by nearly fifty miles wide. It is a great level plain, bloectcd by a river whicn is navigable to Red Bluff. The valley proper i ail alluvial and the set tlers' interest In it turna about its rain fall and lta climate. Tehama county Is the most abundantly watered of any por tion of the central valley, and its cli mate is simply the characteristic Califor nia climate, differing in no essenta! from that of the lower sections of the state, according to the Trowbridge-Bolster company. City National bank building, local agents for the Tehama county land. This valley was once an arm cf the aeii. an arm withdrawn and folded back upon the bosom of the Pacific. That is tiie pootry of it; the prose is that the water waa silted up by erosion; that the chief river pushed its month aouthward until nothing remains of this great tidal estuary but uisun. .-an Pablo and Han Francisco bays, the first two but parts of the larger body. Tributary streams from the two mountain ranges aided in making the valley, but Its central part is the werk ef the Sacramento. Lett Rick Valley. The soil bearing river filled up the head of the estuary and pushed H back ward 150 miles, leaving behind a wide, rich valley. Its center Is all alluvial and in-.the quality of the soil. ih-lepth of It and in the climate, which is over all, it ha ner counterpart in any other coun try. Nature works blindly in such processes, and the great valley haa spots and patches of comparatively poor material, but the very methods of soil making in sures a body of land of the richest kind. A soil survey Is now being made of the vsiiey hy the bureau of soils of the gov ernment. It is said that tebta made at the St. Louis exposition showed, when compared with aoil from the valley of the Nile, from the lowlands of Holland, from France anl Italy that, this alluvial sol! ot California,, held more of plant food than any of the others. In this country on tne east side the soil is a dark 'brown sandv loam, under laid by and and gravel, the rich loam j on top olten many feet deep. On the west ilae tnt tuianie area is rnucn wiaer i and the soil haa a reddish tinge from oxide of iron and the hills are gravelly, but the chief characteristics of the valley are the lua-uiy iand-i and the amazing depths ot the soil, with no difference in appearance, m texture or quality, at the bottom or the top of a deep excavation.

" Fare Boxes Placed on the Farnam Line Fare hexes were placed on thirty cars on the Farnam line Tuesday and the passenger now drops his fare in the box instead of handing It to the conductor. The advantage to the company is that this gives the conductor more time to punch transfers and start the car and the cars can thus mske faster time The fare boxes will take nickels, dimes and pennies. If you hsve no change, the conductor will maka change for you. The money stops on a slide in the box. that the conductor may examine It through the glass to see that no punched dimes or lead nickels are worked off on him. When the conductor turns a crank, the monev drops further down and automa tically registers itself. Five pennies register one fare; a nickel, one far; and a dime, two fares The conductor still rings up tickets as of old by pulling a rope and collects the transfers. Fare boxes will eventually be installed on all the company's cars.
