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 an arm withdrawn and folded back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.

the crew disappeared and has not been

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.
MARKING OREGON TRAIL
IS TO BE CONTINUED
The marking of the Oregon trail has
been rescued from the brink of discon
tinuance by a contribution of SO sent
by G.- W. Wattles ef Omaha to assist in
the work. The commission has been
somewhat embarrassed because the state
appropriation can be ued only re pur
chase markers for the trail, while many
incidental . expenses have to be met.
"This Is not the first time Mr. Wattled
has shown in a substantial way his in
