Don't 90 to California

The Rock Island Union saws that
there came to that city, yesterday, ON
his way home, middle aged man,
who left Perryton, Mercer county,
last September, to try his fortune in
the Golden State. He went to San
Francisco, from there to Los Angeles,
and from there through the southern
portions Of the State, looking after
employment of any kind that might
be offered. He says that he never got
but five or six days work all the
time he was in California; that he
spent 5000 in the time that he was
gone; that in the past three months
half the time he did not nave enough
to eat to allay hunger, and that he
tramped on foot 500 miles, most of
the time begging his food wherever
he could get it. He says there are
thousands and thousands of men in
California out of money and out OF
employment, unable to get back
home, and that hundreds are daily ar
irving from the East on the incoming
trains. This man was compelled to
send home for money to enable him
to get back.

Fishing.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
water is worry muddy, fishing is said
to be better here than it ever was be-
fore, or we should say better than it
has been since the dams were built
for the Improvement of the river,
many years ago. This may be &C.
counted for by the fact that the dam
has been partially washed out at Gro
ton for several months, but mainly
from the beneficial effects of the
State fish laws and particularly from

This is the spawning season and
every fish caught is . crime against
the law of the State and subjects the

that it is bad policy to kill the goose

We are glad to see strong signs of
. purpose to revive the old project of
. railroad from Cedar Rapids to
Kansas City by way of Ottumwa, Of
which part was graded several
years ago and abandoned for lack Of
funds. The route is a very feasible
one, and could not fail of acquiring a
large business.
The line crosses Iowa from the
north east to the southwest, through
y region not now occupied by a rail-
road. The Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad Company, which has just
come into possession of the Dubuque
Southwestern, will of course feel an
interest in this practical extension of
their line, and that healthy corpora
ton has doubtless canvassed the chan
ces of just such road. 1t would be
vastly to its interest-and that enter
prising company has not overlooked
the chances of such an extension, al
though the negotiations for a change

may, and probably has, proceeded in
dependent of and without any rela-
ton to each other, yet the different
parties will doubtless find it to their
mutual interests TO combine and
make the most of both lines.
In relation to the extension from
Cedar Rapids the last meeting was
held in Chicago last week, and the
outlook is said to be decidedly en-
couraging.-Du6ugue Times.
