EsPERANZA IMPROVEMENTS.
The Charming Capay Valley Town i.
Coming to the Front

Ihe Charming Capay Valley Town is
Coming to the Front.
The Woodland Mail of yesterday prints
the following letter from its Esperanza cor.
respondent:
Since my last letter improvements in
Esperanza and vicinity have been pushed
with good deal of vigor. The brick work
on the new hotel Is nearly finished. Car
penters are busy on the first, second and
third floors. A. Z. Gardner, the plumber,
of Woodland, arrived yesterday with a
wagon-load of material for plumbing. The
finishing touches, we think, will be put on
the building within sixty days. The new
water works are completed and in opera
ton. The water is being thrown about
through hose with as much force as shown
by the Woodland works. The reservoir is
foot higher than the Woodland tanks.
Mr.. Craft is pushing his brick-making op-
erations vigorously. He will probably fire
kiln of $4,000 the last of next week, and
this kiln will contain enough for the Levy
block. After this kiln is fred he will keep
right on laying up another kiln for the
Howell block. Mr.. Levy has about decided
to extend his block, giving it 110 feet front
on Woodland avenue and 100 feet on Yolo
avenue. Howelps livery stable is COM
pleted and in full operation. The building
is fine one and would be a credit to any
town.
If anyone has doubt as to the quality
of the country surrounding this new town
let them mount to the top of the reservoir
and look out in every direction. The fields
OF waving grain are just commencing to
ripen for the harvest, and the many fine
homes that greet the eye in every direction
will prove to the observer that he is in the
midst of one of Gods most favored locsli-
ties. Enough fruit has ripened in Capay
valley to prove the claim of being as early
as Vaca valley. Colonel A. Stevenson
found ripe peaches at Cadanassa a week
ago-few, if any, have appeared in the SAL
Francisco market yet. Grapes have been
ripe on the Flint place nearly week, and
Cadanassa sent Oft to market ripe tomatoes
about week ago. Colonel Stevenson saws
the Vaca fruitmen are getting $1,000 per
carload for their fruit, and this condition of
things is liable to last till September. 1t
would seem with these facts in view that
the land lately sold on the Bonynge tract
tor $3.50 and $500 per acre was not high. A
Mr.. Harris and wife were here yesterday
from Tulare, and when asked how Tulare
crops compared with the crops about Esper-
ANA, replied "In proportion about as the
contents of that field inside the fence with
what is outside of the fence" The wheat
inside of the field will yield ABOUT fifty
bushels TO the acre, while on the outside
was only few wild oats and foxtail. We
understand the contract for graveline the
graded streets has been let to a Woodland
man.

WATER FOR GAIT.
supply from the Cosumnes Land and
Water COmpany's Ditch.
TGalt Gazette June 5th


[Galt Gazette, June 5th,
The people of this community have little
or no conception of the extensiveness of the
Cosumnes Land and Water Company's
ditch, constructed this spring, from point
near Michigan Bar to the southwest line of
Whitaker & Ray and Miles tract of land,
some mines miles northeast of Gait. II.
Byam, the ditch manager, furnishes US
with this data: The length of the new ex-
tension from Michigan Bar is twenty miles.
In contains 500 feet of tunnel, sixty rods of
hume and 800 feet of twenty-six inch pipe
across Arkansas creek. The capacity of
tunnel, tiume and pipe is 1000 inches. The
present capacity of the canal across the
Whitaker & Ray and Miles tract is 500
inches, but can easily be made to carry
same amount as the other portion of the
ditch. The length of the canal which
Whitaker and Ray and Miles large ranch,
is seven miles. The owners of the ditch say
they will be able to supply Gait with
water next summer and that it is their in
tention to run the canal to this point next
spring. Surveyors will be put in the field
as soon as the crops are harvested, and the
most feasible route for the further extern
sion of the canal selected, with the object
in view of bringing the water as close to
town as permissible.
From the fact that the canal draws its
supply and finds a fountain head in the
elevated lakes of Amador and Ell Dorado
counties, this supply will prove inexhaust-
ible for all time to come. This caual will
prove of inestimable value to this section
of country. 1t will make it possible for
farmers now cultivsting wheat on 16O acres
of land, their chief and only industry, to
branch into the fruit, berry, vineyard, and
alfalfa business, and from the products of
twenty-five acres of the quarter sections
now farmed by the husbandmen of this
community more profits will be realized
each year by the irrigation system afforded
than was possible on their entire holdings
heretofore under the old methods adopted.
The great water supply will enhance the
value of property along its course ten-fold.
1t will stimulate business and encourage
farmers to improve their homesteads, and,
in turn, give more employment to farm
hands and mechanics. 1t will also prove a
boon in many other ways to this section.
1t will be the means of subdividing large
tracts of land into small and profitable

More English As She Is Taught"-A
Sharp Old Father.
The following communication from zone
of the Fathers" is little too severe, prob
ably, and while we do not fully indorse
the writer's statements we publish it, in the
hope that it may cause teachers to consider
how far they may be responsible for the
mental delinquencies of pupils:
EDS SUNDAY UNION: School-room blund-
ering in thought and language is often
given out through the press as subject
for jest or sadness, according to ones point
of view. | do not remember to have seen
anything of the kind more inexplicably
droll (or more painful, as one pleases), than
the following which came into my hands
few days since and which l preface by the
note that accompanied it from a really
bright and gifted lady of Sacramento and
an accomplished teacher.
The lady writes: I'VE have been study
ing butterflies at our school about two
weeks. We do these things thoroughly,

study and discuss, live caterpillars, chrysal-
ide3 by the handful, butterflies dead, diving
and newborn, butterflies chloroformed.
plnioned and caged-in fact, everything
that may shed light on a butterfly life
and way ofliving. As proof that we under
stand it all. send you the inclosed COM
position by one of my pupils
And this is the composition: "The size
of cocoons eggs are not half so large as
marble, the color of the eggs are golden
Chrysalis means golden. The butterfly
stays long time in the shell. When the
shell bursts open the butterfly come out
very slowly, it breaths once year. butter
flies live long time. The cocoons build
their houses under some leaves, so that
they can come out and get something to
eat, butterflies wings are called vans. Co.
coons eat their eggs"
This item would serve no good purpose,
however, without the usual intimation that
such performance is wholly due to bad
teaching, and that limited understanding
on the part of the scholar has nothing at
all to do with it. 1t is given, therefore,
with special reference to maintaining this
view. Indeed, l think it may be
taken for granted that whatever mental
or moral delinquencies may characterize
the next generation, the teachers of to-day
are responsible for them. Let fathers and
mothers, then, stand shoulder to shoulder
by the proposition that the only stupid
and brainless occupants of our school
rooms are the teachers of our children.

MORNING SESSION.
Edward Sanderson.

The death of this prominent citizen of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will strike SYM
pathetic chord among his many friends in
all parts OF the land. He was distinguished
as merchant, public-spirited citizen and
strong Republican leader. He was an earn
est man in everything he undertook, and
consequently could not fail of success. Al
ways refusing public office, no man was
more ready to cooperate in patriotic move
meDts and the advancement of great ends.
His counsel and his purse were always at
the service of his party, and in repeated
campaigns success was often due to his
fortitude and judgment. A warm friend
ship subsisted for many years between Mr..
Sandersen and the great Senator and jurist,
Matthew Carpenter, and along many lines
they had many sentiments in common.
Living unostentatiouslv, without pretense,
he exerted potent influence in variety
Of ways scarcely appreciated in his life
time. Mr.. Sanderson was an interesting
man to meet, with dash of humor which
added zest to his conversation. Milwaukee
has lost one of its strong pillars, and the
nation one of its most loyal sons.

Prospective Withdrawal of One Train Be
tween Here and the Bay.
During the week there will probably be
some changes made in the railroad train
service. The train that runs to Redding by
way of Davisville will continue on to Sis
son, and it will also take the second class
Oregon passengers, in order to relieve the
regular Oregon express that passes through
here at night.
The second-class train that now leaves
San Francisco for Sacramento at 4:3O P. NJ
will probably be discontinued but, if so,
there will be changes effected in the run
ming time of overland trains so that train
will leave there at that hour, and also this
city at the same hour in the morning as at
present. These matters are, however, still
under consideration, and nothing definite
will be known for some days yet.
The contemplated changes would not, OF
course, work any serious inconvenience to
local travel, as there would still be two
afternoon trains from San Francisco 10 this
city and way stations, the 4:30 (or there
abouts) and the Oregon express. These
would be quite sufficient to accommodate

PETTY CRIMINALS,

Was Arrived AT.
1t was afternoon before yesterdays ses-
sion of the Police Court was over George
Gray was found guilty of disturbing the
peace and sentenced to pay fine of $40,
which he paid.
G. w. Otto was held to answer on a
charge of grand larceny, with bail fixed at
$500.
Mrs. Donnelly was acquitted of a charge
of disturbing the peace of neighbor. The
quarrel arose on account of the defendants
chickens running in the complainant's
yard. The case was of trifiing importance,
although at times amusing.
Herman Bowers was sentenced to paw
fine of $50 for petit larceny.
George Borchers was fined s. for disturb
ing the peace.
John Brown, who was convicted by a
jury of petit larceny, was sentenced to pay
a fine of $50. In regard to this case, Judge
Buckley said he understood from one of
the jurors that, in arriving at verdict of
the jury, the low character of some of the
witnesses was taken into consideration. If
the case was a State prison offense, he
would be inclined to set the verdict aside
and grant new trial. AS it was not, he
would let the verdict stand.
The charge of disturbing the peace
against J. c. Donahue was dismissed.
Butch" Vantine will be sentenced on
June 18th for disturbing the peace.

TWO BLACK EYEs-FoRTY DOLLARS,

The case of The People VS.. James Todd,
on charge of battery, was heard yester-
day morning in Justice Henry's Court.
Mention was made of this case in yester-
days RECORD. UNION, in which were de-
tailed the circumstances of row on Friday
between two employees of the paving COM
pany which was laying bituminous rock
sidewalk on l street, between Sixth and
Seventh. A row occurred between L. B.
Felker and James Todd, in which the latter
gave the former a brace of black eyes.
Felker had Todd arrested and the case was
continued until yesterday morning, when
it was called in Justice Henry's Court.
The evidence clearly went to show that
Todd was the aggressor in the affair, and
he was fined $40, with the alternative of
forty days behind prison bars. The de-
fendant filed notice of an appeal.
