INVESTING IN LAND. There ore
securities yielding a constant but
moderate return, the representatives
of real values, IN which it Is perfect
ly safe to invest They can no
longer be bonght cheap, because
confidence in the future has been
restored, and all such securities,
too low i'll price last year, have now
gone up to their natural and proper
place. There is room also for lie
safe and profitable investment of
capitalin new enterprises, demanded
by the growth Of the country; and
there will be an increasing derar3

ventures. Finally, there is land,

In AN article advising young men
to secure homes the Hudson Star
% Times says: "Ofall times in the
world no better than these can be
found for securing a comfortable
home. Labor, lumber ard building
materials of oil kinds are unusually
cheap, and many should be taking
advantage of the times to secure
for themselves at least some small
cottage of their own around which
the fond memories of home may
linger. To be sure wages are low,
and many of our laboling men feel
that they need all they can earn at
present for the support of their
families still by a little wise
economy and calculation something
may he put by daily for this purpose,
especially in view of the fact that
no better opportunity will be offered
for securing home SO cheaply; and
besides, there is no telling when
labor viii be more remuneratiye
than now. Too many OF our young
married men, of limited means are
waiting for something to turn up
which will enable them to secure a
whole fine house at once-some
time i'll the ''sweet bye and bye" "
when salaries will be more inviting
Such desirable turns in the wheel of
fortune do not come to more than
one man in every five hundred
thousand and it hardly y pays to wait
with the vain hope that you are
that man, for, one to five hundred
thousand, you are not. The wiser
way is to go to work on the simple
old puritan plan. Build some kind
of place that you can call home,
even if you have to start in with
one room-the others may be added
as necessity and providence may
dictate-alI the time remembering
that "be it ever so humble there's
no place like home"

KEEP Our Or DRET.-Half the
perpiexity, annoyance and trouble
that men have in the world is in
consequence Of getting in debt. It
seems to be natural for some people
TO buy, and incur obligations with
out measures, SO long as they can
avoid paying ready cash. Give one
OF this sort chance to buy on
credit and the questions Of payment
are matters that he cares but little
about. But what a crop Of trouble
springs up from the seed of debt!
How many gray hairs it brings, and
how often it shortens life, sometimes
leading men to commit suicide or
murder. And yet how easy it is to
keep clear of this terrible monster.
Every young man should form a
fixed and unalterabie determination,
before commencing his active
business career, not to incur one
penny of indebtedness, under any
circumstances. Never buy anything
without you have the mouey to pay
for it at once. Pay no attention to
"splendid opportunities" !" bargains" )"
and the like. Such are only traps
set to catch victims. IF you see
anything that you would like to
possess, look frat at your money
pile and make your answer depend
on that. Always pay as you go. IF
you are short Of money gauge your
demands accordlnrIY.

DAKOTA LANDS TuRowN Open
TO SETTLEMENT.-To prevent the
whites from pressing too closely
upon the Indian frontier, President
Grant withdrew two large tracts OF
land from settlement in 1875 lying
opposite the Great Sioux reservation
northwest of Yankton, Dakota, on
the northeast bank Of the Missouri
river, and comprising tie Dakota
counties of Campbell, Mcpherson,
W alworth, Edmunds, Potter, Paulk,
Sully, Hughes and Hand 1t has
been found, however, that whilo
this prevented pcaeeabla and in
dustrious settlers from taking up
the lands within the precautionary
reservation, it did not deter the
more lawless class of frontiersmen
from making the neutral ground q
base Of criminal operations against
both Indians and whites. thus de-
feating the main subject Of .l,e T., SER
vation. It is has been decided,
therefore, 20 again throw open the
greater part of this region TO settle
ment, and, upon the recommends.
ton OF Secretary Schurz, the presi-
dent has issued an executive order
resorting to the public domain
8,259,20 acres on the northeastern
bank of the Missouri river, cor
responding in general outlines to
the area previously Withdrawn.

ately adjoining the Grand River.

Book FARMIxG.-A reading far
mer, book farmer, is simply ho
who avails himself of facts already
demonstrated by men Of thought
and practice, thus giving HIM great
er strength and capacity of hfe's
work, and saving to him the chagrin
of failure, the loss of valuable time
in laboring to sIove problems by
himself alone. And how shall this
best be 'one? Plainly by reading
standard books and well-conducted
agricultural journals, as well as by
meeting together and discussing
methods of culture aud practice.
The accumulated knowledge of the
world should be utilized as far as
possible by each individual. Man
is superior to the lower animals
mainly from the fact that he can
avail himself of the recorded expert
enoe Of others, who have preceded
him, for his guidance, and hence
does not need to commence at the
bottom round Of the ladder each
time. The man who does not thus
avail himself of such opportuniti es,
signifies his Willingness to be a child
of knowledge, to be a slave Of igaor-
ance, 10 spend his life and strength
in vain battling with natures forces,
which wiser heads have learned to
conquer in far easier manner. The
onward march of thought and pro-
gress has cheapened every other
production, has improved every
other manufacture, Why rot admit
the invigorating life of!nvestigalion
and advance into agricu culture!

LOS ANGELES, SATURDAY MORNING. MAY II 1879.
Two Southern Continental Rail-
roads.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has extended Its line in q
southerly direction 800 miles from
San Francisco and $50 miles be.
yond the Colorado river. The work
will now be suspended until the
hot weather is over, to be resumed
again say in November, when the
work will be pushed on rapidly.
The first objective point will be
Tucson, a town we'll down in South
ern Arizona, and near the thirty
second parallel of latitude. This is
on the line of the extreme southern
railroad. Every mile built on this
line is really toward the
Gulf of Mexico. How far the
present company will build on this
line is perhaps an open question.
But there Is no doubt that the con-
tinental road will be constructed by
way of Ell Paso to Galveston, and
the probability is that the Califor-
mia Company will cover most of
the at present unoceupied ground.
The Tom Scott programme of a
Texas Pacific seems to be held In
allegiance. Some other company
may construct the line from Ell
Paso to Fort Worth, or practically
to Galveston. The two natural
termini of this railroad are the lat.
ter city and New Orleans. The
natural advantages are very great.
In the first place the road almost
touches the border of Mexico. At
Tucson it is but short distance to
the line. At El Paso the border of
Mexico is touched. From the lat.
ter point 1t is said that stages can
be driven over the table lands all
the way to the City of Mexico.
From Ell Paso the more southerly
route will probably find favor,
which would intersect San Antonio
and Houston, reaching the Gulf at
Galveston. That such line of
railroad will be constructed at an
early day there Is now hardly room
for doubt. Practically, the South
ern Trunk Railroad Company have
built 500 miles Of this road, and
will probably build 200 miles more
within twelvemonth. The rail
road Company which is pushing
across the continent from
the Mississippi river is maxi
ing steady progress toward this OBJ
jective point. They will build to-
ward the Rio Grande until they
meet with another road. 1t may
be at Santa Fe, or at some other
point hereafter to be selected. But
that junction makes q continetal
railroad, with San Francisco and
st. Louis as termini. And so an.
other company may possibly build
across Texas to connect with the
Southern Pacific at Ell Paso or at a
point still lower down, but when
the connection Is made there is an
other continental road with Gal.
weston, New Orleans and San
Francisco as termini. Few people
on this side of the country are
aware how rapidly this system of
railroads Is developing. 1t Is by
far the most important undertak-
ing in the United States. IS. r.

More rires In Eastern Russla.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-Con-
hagrations in East Russian towns
cause great distress. Seventy ar
rests have been made In Orenburg
on charges of lncendiarism. Four
male and six female prisoners
are undergoing court-martial at
Keiff. The prisoners include three
mobiles, one Prussian subject and a
daughter of the Privy Councillor.
Among other arrests are a titled
lady and leading Nihilists. The
streets of Keiff near the Court
House will be closed during the
trial. Another fire occurred at
Irbst on the 18th instant. Four of
the poorer quarters were destroyed.
The Turkish Loan-France, Eug-
land ana the Greek Quesiion.
CoNsTANTINoPLB, May 18TH
France has refused to support, by
appointing q delegate on the pro.
posed Customs Commission. the
loan of f2O,00O,0OO, in regard to
which the Porte has been negotiat-
ing with the Ottoman Bank. 1t is
understood that the assistance of
France depends upon the settle
ment of the Greek question, and
that of England upon the consent
of the Porte to apply certain sum
to the reform of the Turkish cur
rency, which it has hitherto re-
fused to do.

AN Excursion Ea Reg le.

In our list of overland passengers
few days ago, we noted the arriv-
al Of an excursion party from Bos-
ton and Worcester, Massachusetts.
The Omaha (Nebraska) Bee brings
us quite an interesting account of
the party as follows:
This morning an elegant coach
arrived at the Union Pacific depot
from the East, and was side. track
ed under the shed, where it attract
ed the attention of Bee reporter,
who, upon inquiry learned that 1t
contained party of gentlemen and
ladies from Worcester and Newton,
who are making leisuroly trip
across the continent.
During the day they took drive
about the city and visited the
Union Pacific shops, the Smelling
Works, the High School, POST
Office, Hanscom Park, and other
places of interest, and were greatly
pleased with the general appear
auce of the city.
They will leave morrow for
the West, aud will make stop of
day or more at Cheyenne, Salt
Lake, Virginia City and other
places between Omaha and the Pa
cific Coast. After visiting San
francisco, they will proceed to
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles,
Iand other places in California, and
may possibly go down into Arizo-
nm IN nh nj y rof,,rn thai mi n M
to Denver and visit all the princi-
pal points of Interest accessible by
railroad in Colorado, and then re-
turn home via 81. Louis. The
round trip will occupy several
weeks.
The car in which they are travel
ing is model of comfort and lux
ury, and Is the first one built by the
"Worcester Excursion Car Compa.
N.Y." of which Mr.. Marble is the
president. Underneath it has six
lockers, for coal, wood, provisions
and baggage. The interior of the
coar is handsomely finished and
conveniently arranged, being di-
vided into various compartments.
The reading room is furnished with
every desirable convenience. The
main saloon Is twenty-four feet
long, and during the day it is used
as drawing room, and Is furnished
with piano, cetre table, etc., and
has twelve beds, upper and lower
berths upon the Wagner plan. The
other compartments are the bag.
gage room, the kitchen, the pantry
and closets. On the rear platform
are a refrigerator, water tank, ETC.,
covered by MI awning which can be
removed.
The car was built as an expert
ment for hunting and excursion
purposes, and If It prove a success,
as 1t doubtless will, others will be
constructed on the same plan by
the company, and will be leased to
any one who may desire them.
They will no doubt become quite
fashionable among the wealthier
people who can afford the luxury Of
making occasional trips all over the
country at their leisure.
The excursionlsts are taking
good look through Los Angeles
county and they express them
selves as we'll pleased with what
they have seen thus far. They
passed yesterday OF Santa Monica.
Next Sunday they will visit Sierra
Madre Villa, and will leave on the
day following for Yosemite.
