NOTED OLD RANCHES

San Joaquin Valley Acres Now in Business Hands. Tejon Ranchos, With More Than 276 r 000 Acres of Land, Constitutes One of the Very Few Great Tracts Left. <

Los Cal.—One by one the great ranches of bld California, the immense grants of early days, the lordly domains of wheat and barley magnates, have melted away before the relentless sweep of progress. For half a century and more the change has been going on, the passing of each vast rancho marking a swift epoch in the history of some section of the state. The subdivision of the first great rancho In California may be said to have marked the passing of a feudalism of the soil in this western world, for the old California was in truth almost a land of overlords, and even supported something like a peasantry population all its own. And yet something may be justly said in defense of the pioneers, both Spanish and American, and of the pastoral system of that early day. There was then known no such thing as the system of small farms and comparatively dense agricultural settlements which marked, and now more than ever mark, the and centfaT westr' In California* land had to be acquired, if acquired at all, in immense tracts. Between Los Angeles and San Francisco, here and there in the mighty reaches of the San Joaquin valley, and Interspersed like exaggerated white squares on the curious checkerboard whose black squares, representing acres of something that perchance may be called “intensive” agricultural development, greatly predominate, may still be found a few of the oldest ranches of old days. Most of them, it is true, are more or, less under the sway of the surveyor’s rod imd the

HAS 1,400 ODD SCARF PINS

New York Traveling Man’s Collection Displayed in Indianapolis Jewelry Store.

New York.—J. H. Reed, jeweler, recently had on display part of a collection of 1,400 odd scarf pins collected and owned by A. M. Brinckle, a New York traveling man. Brinckle has been collecting scarf pins for many years and has invested from |28,000 to $30,000 in them. He carried between 200 and 250 pins with him on each trip, and wears at least half a dozen different pins each day. Any scarf pin that is odd can find Ms way into Brfuckle’s collection, whether it costs 15 cents or several hundred dollars. One of the pins that was displayed here is set with an Egyptian scarab, which has been pronounced genuine by officials of the Smithsonian institution and which Brinckle values ats9oo. . .• Another pin Is set with u tiny. “Chinese idol that has been covered with pearl. In China there is a custom of placing tiny idols in an oyster shell; where the idol becomes covered with pearl. As long as the idol lain theshell the person who placed it there is presumed to have good luck. Another unique pin is set with moss agate on which there is a perfect reproduction of a tree placed there by nature, the leaves and branches plainly showing. ’ WF/’* —* —

INTERESTS VISITORS TO WASHINGTON

modern idea, but a few (you can count them on one hand) are almost as they were a half century ago. Such a place is the great tract now known as the “Tejon Ranchos," the original Gen. Beale rancho, which lies well at the bottom of the San Joaquin valley, in the elbow formed by the Sierra Nevada and the Coast range. The recent sale of this vast pastoral empire to a group of Los Angeles land buyers makes the sensation of the year in California real estate circles. Forty years ago, in his interesting volume, “California, a Book for Travelers and Settlers,” Charles Nordhoff declared the Tejon to be the most magnificent estate in a single hand in America.” And Mr. Nordhoff, who was the correspondent of the New York Herald, had traversed continents in the service of his paper. The Tejon Ranchos, with their more than 276,000 acres of land, constitute one of the very few great tracts of the old days which has not through all the years lost a whit of its identity. Today this landed empire, now, as for nearly half a century past, an undivided principality, is in essentially the same condition in which it was when Mr. Nordhoff vidited the spot as the friend and guest of its owner, Gen. Edward F. Beale.

Boasting an Incalculable wealth of undeveloped agricultural and horticultural possibilities, together—with certain, though unestimated, mineral and timber resources, the enormous holding has remained during all the intervening years what it originally was, a live stock rancho. With a fine sentiment that has taken small reckoning of financial exploitation, the heirs of the late Gen. Beale have clung steadily to the old regime in their management of the great estate. The name of Gen. Beale, scholar, warrior, gentleman—the companion of Kit Carson in the lively days of the southwest, and the greatest of,all the surveyors of transcontinental roads — is Indissolubly linked with the his-

Social Side of the Journey

Attitude of the Captain of Modern Ocean Liner* Toward Pa**en- > gers Entrusted to Hl* Care. ? 1 New York.—Ever since the Titanic disaster there has been much discussion relative to the extent to which the officers of a big liner mingle socially with the passengers. The statement has been made that many captains of big ships nowadays pay a great deal of attention to the social side of a voyage and spend a great deal of time promenading with passengers or chatting with them in the lounge or the smoking room when their attention ought to be devoted to the ship. Persons who have been crossing the ocean ever since the days a 5,000 ton ship was called a “leviathan” say that the amount of general sociability on a ship has steadily diminished with the increase in the size of vessels. In the days when there were (hree long tables in the dining saloon, with the captain presiding over the middle one, the purser at the head of another and the doctor commanding the third, the captain frequently knew everybody by name. Anyhow, everybody knew the captain and said “Good morning" to him, for in those days everybody in the first cabin got to know everybody else- - - When marine architects began superposing deck upon deck and the first cabin accommodation of a ship stretched to 200 and 300, and then to 600, and accommodations became so luxurious that one could pay |I,OOO or more for a trip across the Atlantic—-

WHERE BRAINS ARE CHEAP.

Low Range of Salaries Paid to Higher Class of Educators In the United States.

_ New York.—The range of salaries for the heads and faculties of state aided institutions of higher learning in this country is given in a bulletin issued by the United States bureau of education.

According to this authority one can see that Bert Williams, the negro comedian, can ipake a great deal more money than even the highest type of college president. The best paid head of any institution of this class is the president of the University of California, who receives $12,000 a year and a house. The presidents of Illinois university and Cornell university each receive SIO,OOO a year and house, while the president of the University of Minnesota gets SIO,OOO without a house.

From these figures the presidents’ salaries run down as low as $2,400. The salaries of the faculty members range from SSO a year for the least paid tutor to $6,000 a year for the best paid full professor, both extremes being touched at Cornell.

The bureau of education’s bulletin shows that the United States now contains exactly 100 universities and other Institutions of higher education which depend In considerable measure on the state or federal government for their support. Of these, sixteen are agricultural and mechanical colleges for negroes. Four of these state aided institutions have more than 40Q members on their faculties —namely, the University of California, with a faculty of 421; the University of Illinois, with 530; Cornell university, with 652, and the University of Wisconsin, with 486.

the figure has now grown to something like $5,000 —It became impracticable to know everybody. In a ship of the size of a modem liner there are now so many places where a passenger may go Other than his stateroom that if he wants to be exclusive he can readily accomplish his desire. On the Titanic he could have had even a private promenade deck all to himself. Qn the Olympic you have the choice of four decks for your stroll and if anybody is looking for you he may have to vlsit the main dining room, the restaurant, the tearoom, the gymnasium, the two open air cases and the big companionways on the various decks before he finds you. There was a time when besides the one promenade deck one had to go only to the r smoking room or the dining room or perhaps the writing room to find some x one else. One result of the Increased size of the ship and of her passenger list is that nowadays you can cross the ocean without making a single acquaintance, and there are really some who consider this an advantage.

THEIR MOST 1 JOYOUS MOMENT

Of the Trio, Probably Representative Redfield Had the Best Occasion to Smite. The talk in one of the cloak rooms of congress turned to the thought of the happiest moments in one’s life. Senator Bailey said his came the day he wore his first pair of trousers. And Paul Howland of Ohio declared his big moment of joy was when he was permitted once to drive a chariot in 'apony and deg show parade. - Representative Redfield, who is a wise chap, even if he does hail from Brooklyn, said it, was when he was going to school and trying to master long division. Three or four aisles over from where he sat a boy yawned. It was not an ordinary yawn, but one of such genuine expression of feeling toward things in general that it attracted Redfield’s attention. He was fortunate in having a paper wad right at hand, ready for any emergency, and he aimed this at the boy’s cavernous mouth. The wad went right square into the goal and-—well. Fourth of July fireworks are tame to the stunts that/ boy did in the next few minutes. He says he almost smiled once on shipboard when the vessel gave a lurch and threw a platter full of beefsteak, gravy and all, over the open-faced shirt front of a pompous passenger across the table. ■ '

ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

“Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched. “We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child’s face was as fine and clean as any little baby’s face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He har a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Remedies to everybody.” (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed tree on application to “Cuticura,” Dept L, Boston.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped me. For five years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors’ medicines and used local treatments but was not helped, I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride.
