EATTENING THE HEATHER

Recently the President Of the
Vaca Valley and Clear Lake Rail
road informed the editor of the
Red Bluff Sentinel that during
the year 1885, the Chinese resi-
dents Of Vaca Valley sent to San
Francisco the average sum of $500
per day, aggregating the enormous
sum Of $4,000 in one year. 1t is
believed that about 80 per cent.
of that amount was carried direct
to China, there to remain forever.
The census Of 1880 places the Chi
nese population of California at
about $4,000, and as matter OF
course, only a small portion OF the
whole number hold forth in Solono
county.
If. as the Sentinel asks, Vaca
Valley Chinaman sent $l46,OoO to
China in 1885, what must have
been the amount sent out OF the
State. never to return in any form,
by the entire Chinese population
Of the State? 1t would be inter
esting to know how much money
the Chinese ship annually from
the State, and also the total
amount they have shipped since
the first installment of coolies be-
gan gold hunting in the placer
mines.
Since the Chinese began to fat
ten on California, the State has
each year felt the tightening col Is
Of the Monaghan serpent in hard
times, dull business and the grow
ing discomfort Of the laboring
class.
Nevada is beginning to feel the
same bad effects, and will feel
them more and more as the influx
of Chinese increases. The few
men in the State who have grown
wealthy off Chinese labor will
object to the removal Of the Chi
nese, but their interests will be
obliged to yield to the interests OF
the majority.
Now is the time to move IN the
matter, and with concert of act
ion and a few months good hon
est work the State will be cleared
Of Coolies, and forever.
The State is too poor to stano
the enormous strain upon its util-
ity, which the Chinese are now
subjecting it to.
1t will swamp all of us, and II
time swamp the very men who In
sist that they cannot get alonE
without Coolie laber,
In year or SO from now wher
the State begins to prosper ant
money is plenty, the men who nov
retard the movement will thank
those who are now assisting III
driving the Chinese out.
On all sides we find movemen
against them, and if Carson doe
not take a firm stand, the Chimes
driven out of other places viii

When the many excellent opportuni- ,iesfor investment inArisona are brought ,e the attention of eastern capitalists, they seek cur favored land as surely as the sun rises and sets. There are already many gigantic schemes pro gressing, involving millions of capital, with grea, promise of ultimate profits far more than commensurate with the risk. And still there are equally good if not better opportunities for profitable invest mene al this time than those already inaugura,ed. ard many of them are of such proportions as to command thr attention of large syndicates. There were opportunities for the construction of irrigating canals, with a consequent colonization of large scope of coun- try, to be found in many portions of the southern portion of the territory, and no better or safer investments can be made than in this particular line. The people are just beginning to learn the poss.bil- ties of our country in ar agricultural sense, and it is in this direction that its greatest progress will be made during, the next decade. We do not deprccIa,e the great value and promise of our vast mining interests, for they stand at the head of our natural resources and will probably so remain, but in the ratio of the present condition of the two indus tries. the cultivation of the soil IS destined to make the more rapid pro gress, with the additional advantage of its permanency. We hope to soon wit ness the construction of water condul,s throughout the whole great length of the Santa Cruz valley, from the Sonora line down to its junction with the Glla river, and the cultivation of the hun dreds of thousands of acres of fertile lands capable of producing every species of fruit and vegetable that can be grown in the frosty north or semi-tropical south.

The press loses its influence when it s,oops to this character Of abuse. So far as the accusation against the JoURNAIMINER calling any one hard names is concerned, it is, to use the mild es, language, . mistake. l. will say. that the vilest, nas,iest language ever seen in prin, in this territory was penned by this same man McCarser, as editor of the St Johns Herald and Yuma Sentinel.

Sam Small, the converted newspaper

Sam Small, the converted newspaper man, who IS now endeavoring to exhort Chicago sinners to repentance is almost as great a curiosity as his co-sorker. Sam Jones. His religion has the good old smoky, birthstone flavor that IS deemed most effective for revival work. In recent discourse he held his con- srega,ion spell bound as he talked 70 them in this wise:
 "The devil is a good advertiser He will picture the sort of hell you are looking for. If you are a man obscene m your language. in your home and among your companions, you will get all you want of ths, there. You will wander through the corridors of hell, and the lizards and toads of damnation will never cease to drop from your tongue The gambler when he gets there, will be an eternal gambler, with- out stakes or gains He will forever listen to the roll of the wheel and the flip, flip. flip of the chips. Those who are gwen to dancing here. will dance for ever on the red-crested waves of hell-a delirium of dancing that will never never end And you drunkards, do you think you want to lay and lap the molten lava that runs from the hills foreverf'
