Letter from One of 81 Dorado's Most
Resnec cfed Pinnears


Respected Pioneers.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Thirty-eight years
ago Sacramento and vicinity presented to
the vision of the pioneers only rough
board buildings and cloth tents. Then it
was robad principally in the beautiful gar
menIs Of natures wild scenery, but now,
by the hand Of her energetic and industri-
Gus citizens here, rough board dwellings
and canvas tents have been changed 'nto
palatial residences and public buildings,
while churches, school houses, and orphan
asylums mark the liberality of her citizens,
who can point to her beneficent institu-
tions with pride, not only as splendid or
namenfs but also as showing the munii
cent iberality of the citizens of the beauti-
ful Queen City of the plains Sacramento
stands to-day the peer of any city ON the
Pacific slope. She is unrivaled in her COM
mercial facilities, and by her water and
railroad system she can control the inland
trade of the Pacific coast, together with a
large share of our Eastern commerce.
Thirty eight years ago, south and east OF
the city, large bands of wild cattle, ante
lope and deer roamed over the open plain.
On the wide expanse south of Brighton not
a solitary building could be seen but Sac
ramento's pioneers by their energy have
changed the naked landscape into bloom
ing fruit orchards, vineyards and gardens,
surrounded by fertile fields and numerous
happy homes. The plains south and east
OF the city now present beautiful scene oi
rural thrift and prosperity.
The vigorous growth and prosl eriiy ot
the city, aud the rapid settlement ana In.
ptovement of the surrounding country
carrie with it the best evidence of the put
l C spi it which marks the energy of h ]
citizens. The people of Sacramento have
| always shown themselves to be ready and
willing to aid in pushing forward every en-.
terprise that would promote the general in.
ttrest of our citizens. 1t is to her pio: GERS

growth and prosperity. Strike out the
names of only five of Sacramento's pic.

Il IS an ancient and sacred custom Of
the natives to eat these insects. Tradition
has it that at the first appearance Of the

the great prophet noticed on the wings
ofone Of these insects an inscription in
Hebrew characters saying We are sol
liers Of tod We lay ninety-nine egg.
Whenever we shall lay one hundred the

Horrifed at this sacrilege the prophet
straightway interviewed the Lord and re-
ceived the order that as punishment Of
the lccusts the faithful should Kill and eat

morsel." The Moran prohibits the flesh
0fanimals not born, but the MOhamme-
dan doctors Of law, as becomes wise and
dutiful guardians Of their fiocks, denied
that iocusts were fish. that as such the
common people might eat them, while
the men in holy order should deny
themselves this sweet niorsel in order 10
avoid the temptation to gorge Themselves.
