Senator Sargent has written letter
to Judge Mcfarland, stating positively
that he will not be q candidate for re-
election to the u. S. Senate. He says:
~ doubt not that I can be more useful
to the State during the next four years
when it is known that by the advocacy
of its interests am not seeking to ad-
vance my own; and I wish to make
the fullest return in my power for the
honors the State has conferred upon
me-"

It is stated that James N. Barton,

SENATOR SARGENT has essayed the
role 80 unsuccessfully played by
SCHUYLER CoLFAx. SCHUYLER al
ways wanted, though he always de-
MED that he wanted any office within
the gift of the people, from State Sem
ator to President of the United States.
So of the Quaker Hill Statesman. He
was a persistent office seeker at the
hands of the Republican party of this
State, until he was elected to the
United States Senate, and now, when
his term is little more than half out,
he begins writing letters in which he
assures his admiring constituents that
he is not candidate for reelection.
Like SCHUYLER, he will probably be
taken at his word.

That City by the Sea.

In another column will be found q
communication, written on text fur
nished by the San Francisco Post. We
give place to the article, not because
we entertain the fears expressed by
the writer. but in order that our read
ers may learn the means resorted to
by San Francisco newspaper, and
one. too, which it is known could not
exist but for Senator JoNEs's money,
to depreciate Los Angeles real estate
and otherwise injure business in this
locality. For one, we do not accept
the Posts insinuation that it is the
purpose of Senator JONES to move Los
Angeles to Santa Monica, or build a
city at that point which shall destroy
us, as emanating from the Senator,
nor do we believe that he authorized
the publication of such statement.
That the Post intended it to injure
this city, we have no doubt. Being
partly owned by Senator JONES, the
Post probably assumes to speak for
him; and unless he positively denies
that it expresses his purpose in the
paragraph quoted at the head of the
communication, many people will ac-
cept its assertion as official. We re-
peat that we do not believe it makes
this statement on infor nation given
by the Senator himself. But it is we'll
for our people to know what is said
about them, and to know who it is
that is sending broadcast reports In
tended to affect their prosperity. We
are aware that town will be laid of
at Santa Monica, but we do not appre-
hend that 1t will seriously affect Los
Angeles. A town was laid off at Will
mington some years ago, but the place
is not regarded as dangerous rival Of
this city. Wilmington is as fine a
location, and offers as many induce
ments for city building as Santa
Monica. Senator JONES and others
associated with him own some thirty
thousand acres Of land at Santa Moni-
ca, portion of which 1T is understood
will be laid off in town lots and the
remainder divided up into small farms;
but that we shall ever have a town at
that place of five thousand, or one half
that number of inhabitants, no one
familiar with the locality will for o
moment believe. It is true that the
Southern coast is remarkably Pacific;
but city building on the open sea

Talking About It.

Nearly every journal in the State
outside of San Francisco is discussing
the irrigation proposition. All agree
that some means should be devised by
which the millions of gallons of water
now running to waste may be used in
rendering productive the vast area
which is now yielding nothing, or
next to nothing. But various plans
are suggested. Some favor State
system and others hold that only the
localities benefited should be taxed to
defray the expense of carrying out the
irrigation system. The proposition is
one of vast proportions and should be
well considered before practical opera
tions are commenced, and these dis
cussions will lead to an exchange of
opinions and call out suggestions
which will help US toward the desired
end. All admit that a careful utiliza-
ton of the water will increase the
value of our annual products millions
of dollars. The only question is how
1t can best be done. When our farm
ers learn to plow deep and SOW early
they will have taken step which will
double the products Of the State, and
when to this we have added an irriga-
ton system that will turn the waters
from their natural channels over the
broad grain fields we shall hear less Of
drouths and more of average crops.
When this is done we shall record no
more failures among the farmers, and
California's wheat export will aston
ish the outside world.

One of the finest Improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has a very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottOns, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building OF
the Lafayette Hotel. al6

New Dangers - Large ships ON the

WASHINGTON, May l1th.-The fol-
lowing important notice has been is
sued from the United States Coast Sur
vey Office: Lieutenant Wiedam of
the Corps of Engineers, in making a
preliminary examination of MONDAY
rock by means of diver, for the pur-
pose ultimately of removing this rock,
discovered in its immediate proximity
two piEnacles, over one of which there
are but fourteen feet of water at low
tide, and with deep water between
them; these dangers forming one with
Neonday rock, the position of which
has already been determined by the

marked by buoy. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that an irregular ridge may con-
meet this peak of rock with the North
Farallones. Large vessels are warned
not to pass between these points until
a more thorough survey has been exc
cuted." The notice is signed by G. p.
