California since 1860. He is a naive of Scotland, and was born at Kelso, October

where he has successfully farmed about 300 acres of the Cooper ranch, producing
chiefly potatoes and grain, and he keeps about forty head of horses, his ranch
being one of the largest in the vicinity.

  Mr. Blakie was married at the little town of Castroville, to a daughter of
