ALL day yesterday procession Of
Angelefos and strangers to the scene
OF the floods devastation was the
leading feature Of our streets. Now
that the river has subsided a more
temperate and better balanced esti-
mate of the losses sustained may be
made, the most appalling feature, loss
Of life, Of course remaining, but the
actual pecuniary damage proving not
to have been so great as at first as
sumed. The settlers on the river
bank in many cases lose all they pos
sess, and in many other cases grounds
have been damaged and the work of
restoring gardens and vineyards to
their normal beauty and attractive
ness will take months. There are
some offsets to the debit side of the
account. Mr.. I. w. Hellman, whose
vineyard was represented as having
been damaged to disastrous extent,
has inspected it and considers that he
is benefited rather than injured. Mr..
Goodwin expresses similar view
with regard to his property. The
most unpleasant circumstance about
the whole matter, after the lamenta-
bile loss of life, is that the loss falls
upon poor people who can ill-afiord
to sustain it. The injuries TO the
bridges may be quickly repaired, the
loss falling upon the city and corpora
tons, all of which can very well af-
ford to foot the bills. The Southern
Pacific is the heaviest pecuniary suf-
ferer by the storm, its bridges and
road-bed in the Soledad canon having
been used as though they were card
board in a children's parlor play.
The great iron bridge above Lang's
station was twisted completely around,
the many hundreds of thousands of
dollars expended there by the eompa-
ny two years ago in relocating and
improving its line seeming to have
guaranteed no immunity from the
freaks of the weather-clerk. The
probability is that at rare intervals,
owing to the coniiguration OF the
country, disasters in the Soledad
canon will occur to the crack of doom.
Fortunately for Southern California
the Southern Pacific Railway is in
very strong hands and can stand up
TO the work OF protecting its road-bed.
The next modification OF this latter
will be on even more thorough plan
than that of two years ago. While
the disaster of day before yesterday
was a grave one from every point OF
view no useful purpose can be sub
served by exaggerating it.

WILLoN cULTuRE.
It opens "A Large Field for Useful
and Profitable Industry


Considerable attention has been turned
Of late. in this country, TO the cnltiva-
tion of the basket willows and their
manufacture. That n desirable and
promising industry is opened to us In
This direction is indicated By the fact that
we import willow rod and baskets ready
made TO the amount Of more than $500, :
O00a year. The cultivation Of the viii.
lows and their manufacture is sim
pie and easy, and may be carried on
with hardly any capital on any scale,
large or small They are readily propa-
gated from cuttings about foot In
length, taken from well-ripened shoots,
and set in the ground In slanting direc-
tiou, and to such depth as TO be nearly
or quite covered with earth. Cultivat.
ors differ in opinion as to the distance
apart as to which tho cuttings
should be set some saying two
feet each way, others eighteen
inches one way bv twelve the other.
The closer they are set the less is the
tendency to throw out side shoots, which
are undesirable. The ground in which
thoy are set should be we'll pulvorized,
and should be kept free from weeds By
CULTIVATION, Tor year or Two, untll the
plants arc we'll established, and send up
shoots vigorous and numerous enough
to shade the ground, so that weeds will
not grow. The shoots should be cut
close to the ground soon after the leaves
fall Ia autumn.
A large field of useful and profitable
industry is here open TO MS. Basket
work may be carried on upon thousands
Of farms and in thousands Of dwellings
without interfering with other and nee
essary labor. No machinery is needed.
In the long. leisure evenings OF winter.
in many farmhouse, while pleasant
talk or profitable reading is taking
place around a cheerful FIRE, the fingers
Of one or more could be fashoning the
plant twigs into forms Of usefulness and
beauty; and the product, if more than
sufficient for home needs, would find a
ready and remunerative market. Why
should we send three thousand miles
over the ocean for willow twigs when
we can grow them as easily as we do
corn And why hire fingers in France
or Germany to weave them into baskets
for us when we can do the work equally
