sumes Cn.-., ..s.-.. -so.-..y
peace is patched up on. the Eastern
question, Europe will, all through
tho year, present the spectacle of
nations sleeping on their swords.
Immense numbers OF men will be
Withdrawn from agricultural and
other production, and the
demand for American breadstuffs,
American arms, ammunition
and other staples, cannot
fail to be heavy. Each nation
which regards itself as menaced by
war will be anxious to keep on
hand full granary and supplies
of every kind. This will be notably
the case with Great Britain. 1t is
notorious fact that the present har-
vest of California will De the largest
ON record. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if it should exceed any previ-
GUS one by sixty or seventy five per
cent. In Los Angeles county it will
certainly be twice that of our best
former year. Good prices are al
most assured from the foreign de-
mand. These large crops will give
employment to labor. All depart
ments of business will be vita!ized.
The thousands of men who have
made a business of agitating in San
Francisco, and the other centers
of population, will be distributed,
measurably at least, through the
rural districts. Those who remain
in the cities will be SO reduced in
number that they will not compete
themselves into helplessness.
Nor is that all. Mining will for
years aud years continue to be a
leading interest of California. The
ample rains which have blessed us
this year, an6 which have packed
the SHOWS high on the Sierras, will
furnish a copious supply of water
for hydraulic ard other mining OPP
erations during the coming Sum-
mer. The yield Of our mines will
be the largest recorded for years.
Multitudes who have been making
the welkin ring with cries of dis
content will be attracted from the
cities to work these mines.
Take it for all in all, in our expe-
riences of California We have not
noted a more suspicious opening of
any year than the present. We
shall profit, besides, by the revival
of business East. California, which
was the last State in the Union to
acknowledge the blighting effects
of the universal panic which began
at Vienna, and eliminated in the
United States in the failure of Jay
Cooke & Co., in September, 1873,
will be the first to entirely emanci-
pate herself from its blight. We
utterly mistake the signs of the
times, or the next four weeks will
witness q splendid revival of conf
dence and activity throughout the
length and breadth of this State.

Land Titles Conn RIM ed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2Gth.-The
Commissioner of the General Land
Office has decided the long pending
cases of the contested surveys of
those portions Of the Aqua Caliente
rancho which were confirmed to
Charles p. Stone, Thadeus M.
Leavenworth and Mariana Vallejo.
The property adjoins the town of
Sonoma and is very valuable, being

Repors on the Chinese Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26th.-Wil-
lis, of the House Committee on
Education and Labor, to-day made
a report on the Chinese question.
1t reviews the history OF Chinese
immigration, discusses the charac-
ter Of the immigrants from eco
nomic, political and social stand
points, and comes to the conclusion
that the material advantages to be
derived from their value as labor
ers are overborne by their undesir-
able moral, social, religious and
race peculiarities and by the fact
that their presence tends to de-
grade the industrial classes. AS
most OF the immigration Is from
the British port of Hongkong, a
change OF treaty relations with
China will not check the evil. The
therefore, recommends that
the President open correspo ndence

FLoURrNG MILL WANTED. The city of
Vancouver receives almost daily from the
Willamette valley considerable quantities OF
Oregon flour, made of Oregon wheat, while
in our own county are all the materials for
the flour, but not mills to make it. Clarke
county raises just as good wheat as is raised
in Oregon. Laborers and mechanics can be
employed here as cheaply as in Oregon.
Steam and water power are both cheaper in
this county than in Oregon We are on the
direct highway to the sea from the Eastern
country, which would afford an inexhausta-
bic supply OF the best OF wheat for merchant
milling. There are several small mills in
Clarke county which supply local trade,
but cannot supply the Vancouver demand
for citizen and army supply. Whaawe want
is some man of means and experience, to
build within the city of Vancouver first
class Touring mill, which we believe would
pay him quite as much as it would rebound
to the glory of Vancouver, and for such a
man there is capital opening.

BOYS BEHAVE. \ Seattle paper talks
about the waywardness of some boys, and
neglect Of them by parents, in 4 way that
applies perfectly to some boys we know OF
in Vancouver, and hoping that it might ben
eft some of them We give the remarks, as fol-
lows:
Yesterday we heard father complaining
of hayward boy whom he compared to a
very satan incarnate. Vet the boys conduct
could hardly be wondered at. Scarcely a
night passes but boys from the most respect
able families may be seen long after night
fall on the streets and alleys OF the city plot
ting mischief with the most vicious hoodlum
element: and the most vicious of these are
not homeless in the sense that great num-
bers of urchins in large critics are. They all
have homes and parents who can provide Tor
them comfortably, and they should he kept
there. There Is nothing like the healthiul
influence of home for a boy. The streets ct
orr city, especially after night, are very hot
beds OF crime Keep Your boys at home;
ii they need out OF door exercise, teach them
to take an interest IN gardening and beauti-
fving the surroundings OF their home. Teach
them TO spend their evenings about the fire
side among the healthiul influence OF books
and papers
