It notes Wallace Stowe’s decline, a half million dollar wedding gift to a Standard Oil heir, and outcomes for copper and other trusts. It covers centennial Washington ceremony planning, farm trust activism, Bishop Foley’s school views, jury instruction reform proposed by Rep. Dixon, and California Valley farming prospects with crops, land prices, and rail access.
