fruit culture is prosecuted under such dis
advantages as arise from billiards, heavy
frosts and widespread freezing weather.
That it is actually necessary in this sec
! ton to wrap fruit trees in cloths, and bank
about the trunk heavily with manure to
prevent the cold from killing them. That
oranges and lemons are grown but
sparsely, never ripen, ard are not pro-
duced in sufficient quantity to take place
in the market That ague, fever and
malarial diseases generally prevail and
render the northern California almost
uninhabitable-and 50 on, through a long
chapter of malicious misrepresentation.
At the very moment when these falsehoods
were penned, carloads of northern Cali
fornia oranges were rolling Eastward, and
on every market stall Of our cities northern
California citrus fruits were displayed.
Though the thermometrical and barometri-
cal registers for long series of years were
published, showing the absolute falsity of
the charges the same sheet persisted in
their repetition.
We submit that the good people of
southern California cannot afford to coun-
tenance the course of such journals. They
owe it to themselves and the truth to put
the seal of their expressed condemnation
upon these vicious methods. The people
Of northern California rejoice over the
rapid growth Of the south. They are
more than pleased that property values
advance, and the States roll of wealthy
communities increases in length. They
are gratifed that population phenomenally
augmeuts in The south, and that prosperity
and rich promise sit upon the walls of
southern California. They believe their
own section to be greatly favored, to offer
unsurpassed advantages to the homeseeker,
and to lie altogether the most desirable
section Of the State. But they have not.
and viii not prefer their claims before
iurie5 of peoples abroad, by the employ
ment Of ridicule, misrepresentation or in
yiduous comparison with those of the
south. Let our southern contemporaries
continue TO f;,lsify, if they wish; the folly
Of that policy will reveal itself presently.
In the meantime The representative press
Of the north will content itself with Civ
ing the denial-it will not bemaan itself
by retorting in like. 1t has nothing to
say against southern California; it has
everything in its praise, ard an earnest
desire to aid it to the attainment of its
Hottest possibilities.

speaking of the pay of Congressman, says
A memb Der is allowed s. 600 year, twenty
cents mileage each way, or forty cents q
mile one way. and he can check for the full
amount of both trips when he takes his
seat. He is allowed 1925 year for station

The members draw their money in differ
ent ways. There are probably twenty
members of the present House who let
their salaries run into nest eggs. Among
them are Scott and Everhart of Pennsyl-
vauia, Powell of Illinois, Boutelle of Maine,
Henley of California, Stewart, Jones and
REAGAN of Texas, Eilsbury of Ohio Stone
of Massachusetts, and Wakefield of Min
nesota. Scott has over years salary
owing him - about $500. The others
mentioned have from 81 COO to So ZOO to
their credit. There are 4 couple of dozen
members who always oyerdraw; or rather,
borrow from the head of the bank They
borrow or get advance sums ranging from
$40 TO $500 and at tie end of the month
have nothing. The great majority of the
members draw all that is coming TO them
al the end Of each month, particu-
larly those who have their families with
them. Some Of them never see an outside
bank, but let their monthly salary remain
and draw it out in small sums. Others
take out their salaries and place them in
other banks. But this is not done 50 much
as formerly. \ number of them got caught

Huntington's visit to this coast will be the
building of a great number of brauch roads
to serve as feeders for the Southern Pacific.

that the Southern Pacific people will pay
particular attention 10 that section in order
TO anticipate any branch roads that may be
advantageous 10 the Atlantic and Pacific
Company.

SPLENDID PROSPECTS. = Fine develop
ments continue to be made in the Grass
Valley mines. The 11dingS says blast
was exploded in the bottom of the Horse
shoe mine and the very best kind of mill
ing ore was shown. The depth is about $50
feet, and the ledge in the bottom averages
about two feet. 1t is thought that blast
has opened up the main and permanent
ledge, which the company were sure they
would strike some time The rock which
came out Wednesday is the same in char
acter as that taken some months ago from
the mine, which paid the round sum of
500 per load. Some splendid rock was
slse taken out of the Pennsylvania mine,
which in the estimation of miners, is the
best ore ever taken from the mine, as re-
CARDS forerunner of the permanent gold
producing ledge. The ore is full of min
eral, and would be pronounced good
without the appearance of free gold, which
latter is plainly discernable throughout the
large chunk of quartz taken from the ledge.

THE THIRD PABTy-Francis Murphy
the great temperance apostle, recently ut
tered most substantial truth when in
speaking of the Prohibitionists he said
" their business is to organize party to gel
elected to Office by denouncing Democrats

true temperance everywhere, and says that

SAYS the Humboldt Times: "The Re
publican party challenges comparison with
any other party in regard to its principles,
its long and bright catalogue of names of
statesmen, heroes and scholars, its achieve
ments in the past for the good of the
country, and what it proposes to do in the
future" Very true. But no party can
live upon its past or its promises for the
future. 1t must show by present life and
action, by faith manifest in works, that it
adheres to principle and is grounded upon
the right. The past may illumine the
present and cast its rays far up the path Of
the future, but in political life the party
that does in the present, and gives reason
for its declaration of faith and promise, is
the party in which the people will ulti
mately place their trust. Such party we
believe the Republican to be. We can
hardly conceive of citizen adhering to
that party, except he is so attached be-
cause he believes the principles Of the
party to be vital, living and essential to
the highest degree Of prosperity and hap
piness for his countrymen. If mere greed
of Office; if mere desire to be upon the pop
lar side; if the attachment to party that
comes of heredity, actuate any man in his
choice of political faith, he is sincerely to
be pitied, for such falls short of true
conception of American citizenship, free
government and the sovereignty of the
elector. 1t is 4 grand thing to be free
man. with the right to pos
sess and enjoy, TO worship at will or not at
all, to chose official agents and determine
the rule of the land but ii is a nobler
thing to have faith in a definite policy for
the country, and to entertain such faith |
from sincere conviction, since these should |
all the rest, and determine their
measure.
