WashOe as il Is,

This is favorite subject cf newspaper
correspondence to California journals. We
notice the Sacramento Union gives space,
and large amount of it, to some swelled
head who writes under this caption. What

hour would write California as 1t !st Ana

and from the moment they strike the country
they see many funny things and subjects OF com
ment, which In fact are nothing more than ordl'

never DO until cold or hunger moves them.
These correspondents being OF the latter class,
