The following letter from Jacob
Marhoffer, of Crescent City, under
date of November %, was received at
the telegraph office here to-day: We
were visited by terrible earthquake
last night at S:45, which lasted about
thirty seconds and did considerable
damage. The shock seemed to pass
from southwest to northeast. Nearly
all the brick buildings in the town
sustained some injuries. Among the
most serious were the American Hotel,
the Express building, Savill & Derbys,
Hobbs, Pomeroy & Co.'S store, Della
hayd & CurtchelPs store, and HOdg-
kin's store, and there were quite a
number of chimneys toppled over on
frame buildings. Crockery, etc., suf-
fered severely. No lives were lost or
accidents occurred. J. &. Wall, of
Crescent City, who resides in jack
sonville, reports that the ground is eX-
tensively cracked in some places for
over 100 feet.

unImproved Lands.

In all directions going from the city
one comes upon large tracts of wild,
uncultivated lands, which are lying in
the hands of spectators, waiting for a
rise. 1t Is the undisputed interest of
the entire country, that these lands be
occupied; but the owners, understand
ing little their own interest, will not
sell except at exorbitant rates. Settlers
are thus kept out. lands untitled, and
the entire country damaged.
BY the present system of assessment,
owners are encouraged to keep
their property in an uncultivated state.
Custom offers premium to the man
who does not cultivate his land. Be-
tween here and Gallatin are 1900
acres of beautiful land, now lying a
desert waste, because there is no one
to till. In this ruinous proceeding,
the owner is encouraged by the assess
ment. Thirty dollars per acre is the
valuation when buyer comes; but
the assessor is told that the property
isworth four dollars. This is no iso-
lated case. The same thing occurs,
time and again, throughout the coun-
ty and all Southern California.
There should be remedy. The sell
ing valuation and the tax valuation
should be made one; the assessor
should see that this is the case. Then
these large unwieldy ranches would
gradually be broken up, for owners
would find it more profitable to sell al
reasonable rates, than pay the accru.
ing taxes. Settlers would cover these
lands, now uninhabited and desolate,
and they would blossom with all the
varied verdure of this country.
