A dry chute has been constructed for about

wood-sawing machine is erected which
cuts the logs hauled to it into four-foot
lengths, which are split and sent down the

Referring to these operations, the Demo.

the good work in our timber last year.
They were soon followed by the new COM

another company is seeking to get hold of

a view to big lumber operations"

many years has exhibited little vitality be-
yond salaried philanthropy. The old
race of noble men of the stamp of Delevan
and Rieley has disappeared and the well
paid reformer appears to be their only
successors General Bidweli is the mo
blest Roman of them all" Honest con-
viction commands respect everywhere and
the Prohibition candidate has convictions
of duty and honor which all must ad
mire. Prohibition tickets succeed best
when strong elements of political control
want to beat the Republican party. Such
was the force behind the candidacy of DR..
Mcdonald. Besides there was money in
the Doctors fight. But that was also a
Democratic year. This is Republican
year and the Prohibition candidacy of
General Bidwell may spread a feeble
smile over the general features of politics,
such as wind collie is wont to do over the
face of sleeping infancy.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY OF POLITICS

The candidacy of Hon. John Bidwell
on the Prohibition ticket for Governor
attracts but little attention. Prohibition
opinion or sentiment is not as strong in
this State as it has been in the past. The
only temperance organization that has any
force or vitality is the secret order known
as the Good Templars, and it has been
for many years without aggressive reform
atory zeal. Its leading spirits appear to
be content with the social features OF their
organization with its feeble-forcible mega
tives. The few remnants of the old
itinerary lecturers on Temperance are
chiefly men without talent and certainly
without personal force on the general
political life of the State. The advocacy
of Temperance as virtue became the
trade or calling OF few professionals and for

How Bogus Ranch Buyer Got the Best
in the Land.
The Folsom Telegraph of Saturday last
in an account of the operations of sharper
named F. Bowers, who recently swindled
number of unsuspecting grangers in this
county, says:
ION Saturday, a man who gave his name
as +. Bowers, and said he was STAYING at
the Golden Eagle Hotel in Sacramento,
called on j. Miller, and asked regarding
some property in the vicinity of Mormon
Island, which be sup osed Mr.. Miller had
for sale. He was informed such was not
the case, but that he had some property for
sale, if he desired to buy. The stranger
said he desired to buy ranch and settle
down. After short conversation he left
the store. As soon as he left, Antoine De-
fari asked Mr.. Miller who he was, and was
told his business. Antoine then told Mr..
Miller that the stranger had been enjoying
the hospitality of his brother, John, with
whom he had been negotiating for the pur-
chase of his place. Miller then warned
him to be careful, as he thought the man
was blk.
"Antone then posted his brother, who
told Bowers that he would have to put up
deposit on the purchase price of his land.
The fellow said be would go up town and
get the money, but never returned. He
was next seen by Mr.. Miller on wagon,
and said, We'll, Mr.. Miller, will come in
and buy some furniture from you Miller
told him he thought he was no good, and
Bowers turned red and slipped away.
Before coming here he went 10 the ranch
of Mr.. Haines, near Salmon Falls, and
wanted 10 buy. He was royalty enter
tanned there, as well as at Defari's At the
latter place he had wine at his meals, and
when he knew they had brandy he used it
in his coffee.
'0ne daY when Defari was coming up
town he told him he needed ne " pair OF
overalls, and asked Defari to buy him a
pair when be went up and be wonld settle
with him for them. In the meantime he
had put on pair of Defari's. These dis
appeared with him. At all the places he
stopped he told the people he was married.
He claimed at every place to be married to
q lady of The same nationality as the lady
of the house.
Two or three days after Mr.. Miller and
Charles Zimmerman went out hunting and
stopped at the Toilet place. There Bowers
was found 10 company with Charles Miller,
for whose place he had been bargaining.
When he caught sight of ] Miller he be.
came uneasy. Miller asked him how many
ranches he had bought. to which question
be did not reply. He coaxed Charles
Miller off with him, however. Miller then
told Toilet to 60 and warn Charles Miller,

THE recital of the punishment of lad
in the Rhode Island Industrial and Re-
form School for an escape is horrible one.
We are 10th to believe that for such an
otiense lad should be confined in dark
cell without furniture or sufficient venti-
lation and fed on bread and water for
thirty-two days. Yet it is alleged that
this severe punishment was imposed, and
that as consequence the boy is now dying
in the hospital. His original offense was
stealing pot of beans from a bakers
wagon, the value of the goods being 10
cents. He was then Is years old, and was
sent to the Industrial and Reform School
for six years. In six weeks he managed
to escape, and after an enjoyment of some
months of liberty he was retaken and at
once placed in solitary cell that is de-
void of windows and is bedless and with.
out any furniture except bucket. Here
he was fed twice day on bread and
water, and these limited in quantity. He
was finally taken out a mere skeleton and
reduced from 1877 pounds to little more
than the weight of his bones and skin. II
this is the method of treating children in
Eastern reform schools there is need for
investigation that will hurt where il
strikes, and that will strike in the right
place and vigorously.

1t had the insufferable bad taste to have
the pyrotechnicists put up huge design
of Sullivan and Kilrain fighting. The
men who perpetrated this insult to the
day and the people should be named and
held up to public odium. That was not
the only bad feature of the day at the
metropolis. What the slave song, "The
| Old Folks at Home" had to do with a
| celebration commemorative of the birth
of liberty in America, and why the over
ture to "William Telr should have en-
| gagged the chief attention of the orchestra
in Fourth of July celebration, we are at
loss to understand. The orator of the
day, while saying some things that are
true and many that were untrue, mistook
the occasion and uttered as lugubrious a
speech, one as full of sad prophecies and
long recitations of political ills that are
supposed to afflict us, and social evils and
defects in legislation, as it is possible to
fancy. The name of Washington was not
mentioned in it from beginning to end,
nor was there reference to solitary event
of the revolution, save a passing word
about the Declaration of Independence
AS an essay, despite the ignorance mani
fest in it, it would have done very well for
magazine or a reform club, but as a
Fourth of July Grafton, it must have sent
its hearers home impressed with a sense
of the mercy of God in sparing such a
nation of grand rascals and utter failures
as self-governors. 1t was perhaps fitting
that such celebration should conclude,
as it did. with heroic pyrotechnic figures

ton of cats fighting on back. yard fence,
presumably typical of the harmony of the
managing committee, which, according to
all reports, was not distinguished for the
amity and peacefulness of its councils.
But there is consolation in the fact that at
the literary exercises America" 9The
Star-Spangled Banner" and few other
patriotic songs were sung, and some good
patriotic recitations given; that in the
parade the regulars and militia were
credit to the day, and that three or four
patriotic allegorical floats recalled the
fact that the "Fourth" was indeed being
