THE LIBRARY SITE.
The Commission Waiting to Hear from
Property Owners.

The property owners in both the squares
designated in the new library bill have, as
stated in THE STAR, all been formally served
with notice to submit the lowest prices they
are willing to take for their lots and improve
ments, respectively, not later than May 4th.
Architect Clark, of the library building com.
mission, served these notices in person. Until
the prices demanded are all received the com.
mission cannot make any further progress. 1t
is very evident that there is a decided prefer
ence for the squares north of East Capitol
street, and the property owners there seem to
appreciate the fact that this preference exists.
Since the passage of the library bill some of the
lot owners within the squares have begun to
say that they do not care to sell anyhow, and
to enlarge upon the trouble of moving, etc. In
one case party had included in the plat of his
grounds a portion OF public alley, which he
has been permitted to use for years in order to
make the rear of his premises easily accessible
In view OF the manifest disposition to get high
prices for property in the north square, the
commission regard it as highly probable that
they will purchase the south square. After all
the property owners shall have been heard
from, and their figures shall have been tabu-
lated, the commission may decide to make an
appeal to the owners of the north square to re-
adjust, by mutual arrangement, their prices so
as to bring the aggregate within the limit fixed
by the bill. There is no intention, they say. of
going beyond that limit,and ii the north so uare
cannot be had tor the money, then that on the
south OF East Capitol street will be taken. AS
yet, of course, nothing lsas been determined
with regard to the material to be used in the
building, but STAR reporter was informed
that marble win probably be used. There are
members OIL both houses ofCongress who openly
declare in favor of the purchase of both the
squares named in the library bill, provided the
owners Will agree TO a reasonable figure. Mr..
Hewitt, of New York, has expressed willing
ness to introduce and press a bill for the pur-
chase OF that one Of the two squares which will
not be selected by the library commission but
before doing so he stipulates that all the own
ers OF lots within it shall set forth in writing
the lowest sums they will sell for, and atix
their signatures thereto. He does not care to
proceed upon an uncertainty. He wants to
KNOW the exact amount OF money that will be
necessary, SO that he can fix that the limit to
the appropriation. There is general DISPOSE
tlon to avoid resort to condemnation in order
TO acquire property now regarded as essential
to government uses.

'sThe Very Best Of Them ALL 81

The New York World to-day speaking Of the
return home OF the seventh regiment says:
From the Cortlandt street ferry to the city
hall elevated station the streets were bright
with the glare of red lights, and there was quite a
little crowd to welcome the boys home though
it was after ten o'clock. And at the armory the
stay-at-homes kept their 1uckier comrades talk
ing till after midnight about the pleasentest
trip the seventh ever had. Col. EmmouS Clark
said just one word that sums it all up: ~ have
been to the war, to riots, to scores of business
and pleasure excursions during my thirty
three years of service with the seventh, but
this was the very, very best OF them ALL"

Chicago, fruit could be shipped from Sac
ramento to New York in four and half
days. This would insure its prime condition

In the large and consuming market of
New York the price OF g product in compe-
tition with its ike from adjacent countries
depends upon the best value for the least
money the amount of the production 10
the demand the real intrinsic value of the
commodity in dollars and cents. The world
admits that California fruits have no equal
for flavor and quality Therefore, in COM
petition with Eastern fruits, it should bring
q greater value. Experience has proven
that, with facilities from the railroads, 1t
can be landed in condition. The most i'm
pOrtant item is the price. Eastern fruits
are raised in the warm climates of Florida
the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland Della
ware. The railroad freights from Florida
and Carolina nearly equals two cents q
pound. Those sections produce the early
crop. Virginia, Maryland sud Delaware
freights are less. and we can average it at
one cent a pound. The Pennsylvania Rail
road has q monopoly Of all the fruit grow
ing section Of the South. They give better
apply the anaconda rule to the freights.
At two cents to the grower, one cent for
packing boxes, etc, two cents for freight,
he could land California fruit IN bulk and
in prime condition in New York. at a cost
Of five cents per pound. With this low
price of fruit to retail at eight cents per
pound, an enormous demand could be ere
9ted among the thirty millions Of bread
winners, who are virtually the consumers.
II could be readily supplied FROM the future
orchards Of this State, and give an outlet
TO the over crowded markets Of The Pacific
Slope give an incentive for large produc-
ton and in the end large financial in
come TO those engaged in horticulture.
The whole question boiled down amounts
to this consideration; Quick transit and
low prices for fast freight 1t depends en-
tirely upon the rates and transportation
The railroad authorities shipped last year
over It's tracks to the East, eleven hundred
and twenty carloads of green fruit 1t can.
with a liberal spirit and the positive aid of
low rates on their part be increased to ten
thousand cars q season. 1t would make
Sacramento the greatest shipping point for

quite heavily timbered with spruce, fir and
pine The valley portion IS generously
dotted with oaks. while the water-courses
are bordered with a variety of trees of
smaller growth. Lumber and fuel are con-
seQuently both abundant and cheap.
LAND VALUES. ETC.
Land in the more improved portion OF
the county commands from $25 to 500 per
acre, according to local conditions. For
81 900 q person can purchase all the land
needed for profitable or hard or vineyard,
or both AS proof of this it may be men
toned that one orchard of thirty-two acres
brings its owner an average net income of
about $1,000 per apnum. A twelve-acre
orchard rents for 81 900 cash year. 1t Is
estimated that any well-cultiyaed orchard
or vineyard will return from S40G to $500
per acre. The cost Of purchasing, fencing
blowing and planting twenty -lye-acre
vineyard, including a $3.50 house, would
not exceed g, 900. The third year Gn the

working for his neighbors) the vineyard
will ordinarily return g gross income OF
81 900. and the fourth year will give re-
turn Of $1,000 or more. Land thus i'm
proved will have value of from 800 to
$500 per acre, according to its proximity

mento valley foothill section. There IS =
large winery and fruit cannery at Marys-

can readily find sale for their products.
RAILROAD FACILITIES ETC.
The California and Oregon Railroad
passes through the southH estern portion of
the county, on which line there are four
depots within space of twenty five miles.
The California Northern Railway runs
from Marysville to Oroville, Butte county,
which is great advantage to the section
between these points. 1t is expected that
this road will ultimately be extended
northeastward into the Plumas and Lassen
country. The facilities for river trans
portation are excellent and the rates low.
A line of steamers and barges is maintained
by local capitalists between Marysyille and
San Francisco throughout the year.
Considerable progress has been made by
manufactures in Yuba. There are foun-
dries aud machine shops, wagon and fur
niture factories, one of the largest Touring
mills in the State, etc, while the mercan-
tile trade of the city of Marysville amounts
to some 100000 per year. There are

Highland sheep for Nevada.

4 Nevada ranchman who halls from
"the land o cakes contemplates the inn
portation from the Highlands of Scotland
of small drove of the black sheep of that
region. These sheep are said to be nearer
the original type of the animal than any
breed now in existence. They are said to
be fond of all manner of bitter herbs, and
are so much at home in rugged mountain
regions that they are everywhere able to
shift for themselves, even in winter, when
sheep of ordinary breeds would perish.
They have been known to be buried for
weeks under snowdrifts and come out
alive. The sheep has the bright, quick eye
of a deer or antelope, and both bucks and
ewes have horns. The fleece is large and
coarse, and weighs from four to five
pounds The mutton is said to be the
finest in the world. In the wild mountain
and moorland districts of Scotland this
sheep is preferred to any other breed. 1t is
thought that in this country these sheep
would live and thrive in all the mountains
without any care except occasional looking
after by herdsman, to keep informed as
to the section occupied by them as a range.

YUDA COUNTY.
COMBINING RICH VALLEY AND
F00THILL LANDS.
Some Facts Concerning One Of the
Most Prosperous Districts
in the State.

Yuba county is situated on the eastern
side Of the Sacramento valley, and adjoins
Placer. Sierra, Nevada and Sutter. 1t en-
braces a large portion OF the foothill lands
on the lower western slope of the Sierra
Nevada. Up to about the year 1856 these
foothills were filed with busy miners, but
with the exception of few mines that
have since been worked by the hydraulic
and drifting processes-this industry has
almost vanished. The western portion of
the county embraces some of the richest
valley land in the Sacramento valley, and
Yuba has long been known as one Of the
richest agricultural counties in the State.
The county is finely watered The Feather
river, nayigable stream for some miles
above Marysville, courses on the western
side Of the county, and Bear river, turb-
ulent mountain stream, runs along the lower
line of the county. both Of which join the
Sacramento. The Yuba, which rises in
the heart of the Sierra, courses through
the county il q westerly direction, and
joins the Feather at the point where the
city of Marysville is located All these
streams have tributaries of considerable
size, showing that the water supply Of the
county is well distributed.
IN THE THERMAL BELT.
With the exception of few weeks of
quite warm weather in midsummer, the
climate of Yuba is delightful; and even in
the season alluded to the temperature does
not differ from that Of Other portions of the
upper Sacramento basin. Ia Yuba flowers
bloom nearly every month in the year,
while in the "a re latitude on the eastern
side os the cgnine1t The winters are often
ezeessiye,. colo. and the summers unbear-

several banking houses in the county, and
the rates OF interest are as low as anywhere
in the State.
Stoclk-raising is an important and profit
able industry Of Yuba Building materials
are cheap, and the cost of living as low as
elsewhere on the coast. Bricks are made
in large quantities, the hills abound III
lime quarries. and the local forests and
mills supply the best Of lumber. The roads
throughout the county are good and the
rates of freighting by wagons very reason
able.
The county is well supplied with schools
and efficient teachers. The peopleo of Yuba
as of most California communities-take
a deep interest in the welfare of the public
schools The course of study in the Marys-
Vile schools embraces the fitting Of pupils
for the State University. The several re-
ligious denominations are well represented
throughout the county, Marysyille alone
having seven church edifices.
The principal towns in Yuba are Mays
vile (the county seat, Wheatland, Smarts-
Vile and Camptonville. The former has
population of about 5000, and supports two
daily papers-the appeal and Democrat.
The former is one of the Oldest journals in
the State. The Graphic is the name OF an
excellent weekly published at Wheatland.

SOME OF CALIFORNIA PRoDucTs.-A re-
cent number of the California Grocer and
Gunner contained large amount of statis-
tics and other information relative TO the
production and trade of that State in the
way of eatables and drinkables. A sum
mary of these facts and figures shows an
average annual production on the Pacific
coast of upward of 100000 cases of
canned goods, of an average value of
