sOMN FACTS CONCERNING CALL.
FORNIA AND MINNESOTA.

In taking the chair as President of
the st. Paul Chamber Of Commerce,
Hon. Henry NJ. Rice referred to the
tact that tor some time past 4 mild
form Of California fever had broken
out. In order that none should
be deceived in regard to tho two States,
he alluded briefly to some of the stats.
tics as found in the census report of
1870. -.
Area. California has an area Of
$4,000 square miles Minnesota 49,
500.
Populatiou.-In 1850 California had
a population Of 92,597, against 6,077
in Minnesota. In 1870 they stood {:
California, 56o,247 i; Minnesota, 1885,.
7O6. Taking out tho Cinnamon, who
are only transient inhabitants and who
number over $4,000, Minnesota had
nearly as many people as California;
The percentage of increase in popula.
ton in Minnesota for the last 10 years
was 1872 per cent, while in Oalifor-
MIA it was only 54.54 per cent.
Eduostion.- There were l,548
schools and s5,507 school children in
California in 1870, against 2,479
schools and l07 1855 school children in
Minnesota.
Pauperism- For the year ending
June LIST, 1870, California supported
2,370 paupers at an expense Of $685..
247, while for the samo year Minneso-
ia supported only 214 At cost of $780,.
167.
Churches. -532 in California and
5s2 10 Minnesota.
Crime For the same year there
were 1859 criminals in California to
only PA in Minnesota.
These are few, and only few, Of
tho facts drawn from official records
They speak loudly in favor of our
State. Much has been said about the
length and severity Of our winters, but
it should be remembered that the earth
needs sleep and rest, as much q the
human family. Our winters are the
cause of our abundant and never.failing
crops, and to them are We so largely
indebted for the health Of our people.

THE COUNTY FAIR,

The Executive Committee of the
|Stearns County Agricultural Society
met at the Court House on Tuesday,
and after prepariog the premium list
adjourned until next Wednesday. At
chat time the premium list will be
finally passed upon and the place for
holding the next county fair selected.
1St. Cloud can, undoubtedly, offer the
best arranged and most convenient
grounds and buildings, but We under.
stand there is some dissatisfaction With
the terms upon which they are offered
by the Driving Park Association, viz :
twenty-five per cent. Of the gross re-.
ceipts. 1t may be that this is too
much, or it may be that it is not. But
We hope spirit of iberality will be
displayed by the Association, aud the
price for the grounds placed at the low
est possible figures. Very many per.
sons subscribed for stock with. the sin.
Igle idea Of. having the county fairs held
here, and woa'd condemn any action on
the part of the Directors which would
unfairly, as they might deem, interfere
with this. Tbese fairs ate of more ben.
eft to st. Cloud, as town, than they
can be made to any Of its citizens, for
some time at least, as stockholders in
the Driving Park. To encourage and
foster them would be wise and proper
on the part Of the leading town of the
county and its oounty.seat. At the
same time, the officers Of the Agrioul.
tural Society ought to recognize that
some equivalent is due for the use of
the buildings and grounds, and to be
willing to do what is just and right.
We would venture suggestion to
the Society, wherever the fair may be
held. Let horse racing alone. What
ever premiums can be afforded, let
them be given to the farmers of the
county for the best cattle, the best
Idraught horses, the, best sheep, hogs and
poultry for the best grain and vegetables
and the best fruit, and to the house.
wives for the incest bread, butter and
bellies, the finest needle work, knitting,
sto. We have yet to learn how farm
erB are benefited by horse.r racing, and
We know that most of them would very
much prefer that the large purses
which are given to the winners of
races should be used for increasing the
premiums for the products of our own
fields and such stock rs can be raised
here. Powerful draught and quick.
stepping road horses are what a local
fair can lesitimately encourage, not
slightly built and inely.strung animals
that are Of value only 10 = town, and
can be owaed only either by men of
wealth or those who make racing
business. Whatever races there may
be, let them be under tho supervision
Of . Driving Park Association. The
Agricultural Society will do we'll to
keep clear of them.

"Stook.raising is the leading bust.
