FROM CALIFORNIA.
An Old Citizen Of Cedar Heard
From.

| To the Friends IN Csddr County:
have now been i'm California two
years, and have to some extent become
acquainted with the country and the
habits and customs OF the people. l
think this part ofState is the healthiest,
and the best climate here. This county
is very large, extending from the Ne
yada line west to near Sacramento,
over one hundred miles east and west
from perpetual summer to the snow
peaks of the Sierra mountains. A man
can have any kind of climate that he
wants i'm the western part. In the
vicinity of Sheridan we raise all kinds
of fruit-the orange, lemon, peach,
apricot and almond grow well. There
Is no corn raised here except on the
low lands and along the riSer-, and
there they raise az good corn A. they
do in Iowa. The red land j. the best
for wheat and barley, but will raise
anything with irrigation.
We have had avery pleasant winter,
but not rain enough 10 insure geei
crops; but they look well 50 far, and
promise good harvest. The best hu-
sine-s here i. stock raising. sheep
and cattle are raised here without feed.
The foot hills are the best for that
business. Good foot hill ranches can
he bought here AT five TO twelve dol
iars per acre. They are very good for
fruit raising. The grape business i
oyerione. We eau buy the best Cali
fornia wine here for forty cents per
gallon. A. good raisin- are made here
a in any part Of the world. and great
quantities are shipped To the East. l
see a good many fine bearing orange
trees. and as good quality of fruit as Is
raised in any part.
AT this time we are in the enjoy
ment of all the garden vegetables that
are raised. The mining business Is
more profitable this year than il has
been for the last five years, and great
many new leads are being discovered.
The Chinese question is a.itating the
people good deal There is secret
/ society here that l. making war on
t the Chinese. aud i'm some instances
they have murdered FIVE and six al a
time: but they have been arrested and
will be punished to the extent of the
f n
! law. Money is plenty, and gold and
silver il the only currency. Good
white labor command, good price,
| but there are 30 many tratnps in this
/ country that cannot be depended on
| that Chinese must be employed. Fe-
male labor i high-from twenty to
thirty dollars per month.
