NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COLONIsTs
Extensive Purchase of Railroad Land
Near Redding.


Yesterday a sale of 100 acres of land
was made by the Central Pacific Railroad
to a body of colonists. The tracts selected
and paid for are "a miles west of Redding,
where some of the colonists have already
purchased land. The final payment was
made by the Rev. Mr.. Hosto. who is at the
head of the movement, and who occupies
the highest position in the religious society
which the colonists form. The families
who are to occupy this land are at present
in st. Louis. There are from 100 10 30
families, representing, probably, about 800
people. The society which they constitute,
of which the Rev Mr. Hosto is the head, is
exclusively religious in its nature. 1t is
allied in religion to the old Lutheran faith,
but in what it is peculiar is not clearly
known here. 1t is known that the families
which are to come will prove to be very
valuable addition 10 the population of
northern California. for they are sober, re-
ligions and industrious, and will probably
do for the northern portion of the State
what similar colonies have done for the
southern part. Already a considerable
quantity of intervening Government land
has been secured by the colonists, and they
will purchase the entire amount, which is,
as in the former case 100 acres. They
also have the control, and will eventually
purchase, 5000 acres lying in an adjacent
township. They will thus have over 10000
in one lot upon which to plant their colo

fish food. Fish should be very much

fish food Fish should be very much
cheaper than they are. There is no rea-
son why this food should cost the con-
sumner so much as it now does by half or
a third-at least no reason that should be
allowed to continue in existence. We are
told by the Fish Commissioners that unless
something of remedial and promotlve
character is done by the Legislature, the
rivers and bays will soon be depleted of
food fishes. Our salmon interest is at this
moment in imminent jeopardy and it is
the duty of Legislators to apply remedy.
The Fish Commissioners give them facts
to which they cannot afford to close their
eyes, and suggest reforms and remedies
which it will be little short of criminal to
ignore.

\ CLERGYMAN CoRREcTEp-A clergy
man, having been indicted into living
in Kent, took occasion during his first
sermon to introduce the word "optics."
At the conclusion of the service a farmer
who was present thanked him for his dis
course, but intimated that he had made
small mistake in one word, softening down
at the same time the severity of his criti-
cism by saying: Yet we all know very
well, sir what you meant" On the clergy
man making further inquiries about this
word, the farmer replied: What YOU
call hop-sticks, in this part of the country
we call hop-poleS."

which owns that town, has decided to

A man got upon a brake-Deaih OF i Pas

desert. Soon after leaving Yuma his coat,
which was quite long, fell upon the axle
and was wound tight around it. Realizing
his danger he braced himself and held as
tightly as possible to the beams above.
His entire clothing was torn off his back
and he was badly bruised, but no bones
were broken. The rottenness of his gar

When discovered he was in a pitiable con-

THERE is much significance in the state
ment of the Berlin Neue P'e,essicEe Zeit,eag
that Germany has u political interest in
the Nicaragua Canal question. That
Journal is supposed to be officially in
spired when it says The day is now
near at hand when the Panama and Mica
ragua questions, which are essentially si
international interest, should be regulated
by an international conference like that
now regulating the Congo. In all that
concerns Panama and Nicaragua Germany
has quite as important interests at stake as
England or France" It begins to look
very much as if the United States will
have early opportunity to put the Monroe
doctrine to the test, and to set up still
other policies regarding the claims of
European powers to interfere in American
isthmian affairs.

The Indian Commission has approved
the plan Of the Secretary of the Interior
to abolish the tribal form of government
among the Indians, give the tribe mem
bers land in seyeralty with the duties of
citizenship attaching; encourage the
establishment of common and manual
labor schools, and teach the Indians the
arts of agriculture and mechanics. This
isdealing with the Indian question sensibly.
Education is better than Indian agents.
the rewards of labor more peaceful than
Quaker peace-missionarics, and accounta-
bility under the law mare productive of
conservatism than Indian-hunting soldiers.
a BILL for the establishment of Home
of Industry for the adult INDECENT blind
has been introduced by Assemblyman Jor-
dan. It IS a proper measure 1t would
seem possible to make such an insti-
tuition largely self-supporting. The State
owes it to herself to found such a home,
and then compel the removal Of the indi-
gent blind from the streets, where they beg
for pittance to keep body and soul to-
gether But whether the institution can
he made seIf-supporting or not, the duty of
the State is none the less clear to provide
shelter for these afflicted ones.

wheat be increased to treble the present
rate, and upon rye to double the amount
now paid, excepting Russia, which could

New YORK, January 14th.--The Times
says: 1t seems probable now that the final
action and claimed triumph OF the Ranney
party will result in the immediate with
drawal of all of DR.. Newman's friends from
the Madison-ayenueC congregational Church.
Two or three of the leaders in the Newman
faction said yesterday that they were sick
and weary of apparently quarreling, and
that it was matter of serious considera-
ton among the Newmanites whether they
would not al once take their hymn-books
and Bibles from the church-pews and
worship some where else until further
arrangements were made. Newman is ex-
pected home from California within "a short
time. His friends say now that before ne
went away he gave the opposition distinctly
TO understand that he would have nothing
more to do with them, but could not be
induced to send in q formal resignation.
The report that he had done so was untrue.

THE GREAT MINING NEED.
Cheap Process to Concentrate
LOvV-Grade Lead Ores.

G.. w. Pomeroy, of the Western Bank
Note Company, Chicago, who is the prin-
cipal owner in several promising pros
poets in this region, has been on Wood
River for a couple of weeks, making a
personal examination of the claims in
which he is interested and looking into
the possibilities and probabilities OF this
region. Mr.. Pomeroy is familiar with
mining operations, and has realized some
profit from mines in Colorado and Mon
tana.
He says that the great need of this re-
gion at present is cheap concentrating
process, cheap reduction, and cheaper
freights. The two latter cannot be hoped
for for some time. The former, Mr.
Pomeroy thinks, may be at hand in a
new pulverizer (the invention of ex-
United States Senator Pomerov of Kan
sas) which is now being tested near Liv-
ingston, Montana, on gold ore Ii it will
work well on lead ores, that pulverizer
will give impetus to mining in all camps
where any considerable quantity of low
grade ore is found.
Mr.. Pomeroy left this afternoon for
Portland, Oregon, where he will remain
day or two, and then proceed to the
Puget Sound country and on to Montana
and home via the Northern Pacific Rail-
way He will return here next summer
