 to the continued dry weather, are small.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL. 



A. Mitting met with a painful acci- 

 dent September 28. He had gone out to 

 W. E. King's place, and with Mr. King 

 was going to drive to Soquel. Mr. King 

 hitched up a colt, and while after the 

 whip, left Mr. Mitting with the reins. 

 The horse gave a sudden lunge, throwing 

 Mr. Mitting down. He was dragged 

 some distance and struck against a pile 

 of wood, cutting a gash across his fore- 

 head three inches long and bruising him 

 somewhat. Dr. F. E. Morgan was called 

 and stitched up the wound and restored 

 the injured man to consciousness.

 promoters expect to make will come from 

 the subdivision and sale of the 15,000

 are familiar with the production of flow-

of families from one of the most thrifty 

 peoples in the world and the introduction 

 of a new industry into the state. The 

 information comes from Los Angeles and 

 the proposal presumably originated in 

 some fertile brain in that city, whose en- 

 terprising boomers are becoming import- 

 ant factors in the development of north- 

 ern California. 



The cultivation of flowers in the open, 

 on a large scale, is new, so far as we 

 know, in California. It is probably not 

 commercially possible except in connec- 

 tion with a perfumery factory to utilize 

 the culls and the surplus which the mar- 

 ket will not take at remunerative prices. 

 The industry is extensively pursued in 

 southern France, whose climate is in 

 some respects like our own, but less 

 favorable for this purpose by reason of 

 our freedom from summer rains. It is 

 probably not possible to introduce this 

 industry into California at this time, ex- 

 cept by the importation of the people to 

 carry it on. Much technical skill is re- 

 quired in the manufacture of perfumes, 

 but that is not difficult to provide either 

 by importation or the more costly process 

 of development.
