warkmen hxye taken up the old gas main
on Elm street sal are replacing it with new
piping. The cid service had been in place
for about thirty years and was but one and
one-half inch pipe. Time and the elements
have acted upon ii until il has become made
quste to convey the amount of gas used by
the residents on the street, aud larger pipe
WAS applied for. The new one now being
laid is four inches in diameter, and will IN
doubtedly be of sufficient size to give most
abundant supply. The Improvements COM
menced in this locality should be extended
to other parts of the city where patrons Of
the company are sadly in need of better
service.

EQUALLY s PLEASANT AND PRODUCTIVE,
Weree either ignored or overlooked. Dur
ing the asst year and a half, Central and
Northe, California have been making
some efforts toward inducing immigration
and settlement. It is coming slowly, but
certainly, a in natural channels for legit-
innate purI ses. The great, warm iso-
thermal helis of California reach TO and
include every valley in the State having
less altitude than 1000 feet. The valleys
Of the Sacramento and the San joaquin
are nat lrslly the first and finest, as they
are the greatest valleys on the coast.
They are the natural home of all citrus
fruits, md in variety, luxury and abund-
ance OF productions will ascend or descend
the scale with any country or countries ON
the earth.
PEOPLE SEEKING INVESTMENTS
Naturally want to invest in good coun-
try and amongst live people. The pros
perity of a town is an index to the country
in which it is located. It's future is deter
mined by its location. Willows is $50
miles from San Francisco, and 90 miles
from Sacramento. 1t is not disturbed
by great central competitive points, but
is world unto itself, possessing all the
requisites necessary for the support of
city of $4,000 people.
The following concerning Willows and
vicinity is from the pen of an enthusiastic
admirer:
WILLOWS AND VICINITY.
Not many towns in this or any other
State can truthfully claim the natural ad-
vantages that Willows can. California
towns are more happily located than those
east of the Rocky Mountains, inasmuch as
the breath of winter, instead of chilling
the marrow of perseverance, only invig-
crates and inspires to unconquerable de-

termination. A thermometer whose lowest
range is 1So to 200 above zero adds but a
new impetus to the will and intellectual
power of man. 1t brightens the picture of
life, and adds glow and radiance to its col
ors. But thermometer whose registra-
tion is in the Arctic regions from zero
downward, saps ambition, perverts de-
termination and adds austerity to the al
ready too gloomy landscape of life.
Not more so perhaps, but equally with
other places in the Sacramento valley,
Willows enjoys a climate as serene as a
dream of luxury. Serene, in that it is
robbed of all severity-balmy, bright and
tranquil as summers sea. The dominion
of Winter is met on the mountain slopes,
where his advance is stayed by the greet
ings of perpetual summer Above, the
hoary garments of the frost king shroud
the forest monarchs, and carpets, with It's
icy breath, peak and plateau, cove and
canyon. But beneath lies
THE SMILING VALLEY OF THE sAeRA-
MENTo,
Carpeted with emerald and bespangled
with flowers. Here the orange blossom
peeps through the glittering green. and,
with the rose and the honeysuckle trans
forms the breath of December into the
gentlest whispers of May The white
and the green, the blue and the gray, the
damask and the rose, the violet and the
purple-these are the colors that glow and
fade on the mountain tops, where the blue

With the gentle waters of the Sacra-

THE COMING STRUGGLE.
Bishop Newman's Remarkable Address
to the virginians.

ROANOKE (Va J. February 20th.-Bishop New
mans address On g Religious dueation in the
South has created q sensation. He said that
the puTest blood in America was to be found in
the South, and he did not know but that the
Soutnerners ought to thank God that they had
been horn south of the Potomac. 1.-The North
would Rave to engage in a death grapple with
the dangerous and antagonistic foreign element
now crowding into her cities and fast domi-
mating Legislatures aud municipalities When
the struggle comes, it may be that the South
will again have to march forth, 10y this time to
the dear o flag of the Republic and preserve
our dearest national institutions from foreign
eneroachment"
he said he could speak by authority and
assure the South that d arrison would know ne
North or South, East or West, in conducting the
affairs OF the Government and his appoint
| ments to Office in the South would be from the
very best people. Bishop Newman repeated
what he recently told the Governor of South
Carolina. that Harrison would solve the race
problem by drawing the line, placing inteni-
gence ON one side and ignorance on the other,
without regard to race or color, and while intel
ligeDce ruled, he would bring the influence ci
religious education 10 bear on the ignorant, ed
ucatiug and eleyating them.
