 For sportsmen, hunters and trappers there is a large field to work in and ss varled kinds of game and animals as will be found in the United States. The sportsman who wishes to hunt with 8 dog can find plenty of quail, English snipe, rabbits and large variety of wa ter fowl to practice on with his breech- loader shot guns For the old-fashion- ed hunter with his rife, the opportuni- ty to distinguish himself is equally good. He can commence on grey squir- rels and jack rabbits in the valley and by going through the foot hills to the mountains can get larger game, such as coyotes, badgers, deer, the mountain wolf and brown, black and grizzly bears. There is also species of panther, or California lion as it Is called, but these animals are very rarely seen. The rivers abound with muskrat, mink, raccoon, and in some localities otter and beaver. This gives the professional trapper a chance to show his skill, although Cali fornia furs do not command as good prices as northern or eastern fur does, on account of the warm climate, stil what is lacking in quality is general, made up in quantity.
 California represents almost all na- tions, as has been said before, but a kinder hearted or more hospitable peo ple do not exist than those you flu, there. Almost all have undergone pri- vation and danger, especially the pio- leers, to get to this favored land aud nave but to look back to their own ex- periences to sympathize with those who gre unfortunate or needy, giving freely to all, not stopping & great many times to discriminate between the worthy and unworthy.
 California has been infested with pro- fessional tramps, or blanket packers ss they are called, much to the discredit of many an honest but poor man, but measures have been taken to rid tho country of the tramps, on 8 similar prin. ciple to that used in the state of Con. necticut at the present time. There art too many of these strong, able-bodied fellows around the country always look ing for work and praying they ma. never find it. There is almost alway, plenty of work for thUse who wish t, work and the wages for all branches C work or trade are very good. Earn hands get from 886 to $50 a month ant board and the trades command from 5( cents to &1 8 day more than is paid il the East. This makes that state Q Root .,lace for young, enterprising men, anC government land is plenty and easil. got.
