iMIlGRAT1ON.
Large land holdings in California have been
from time to time severely condemned and
charged with being u serious drawbacl. TO i'm
migration and detrimental To every interest
OF the State.
Many have undertaken the solution of this
question. suggestions have been made and
action urged against the owners thereof to-
ward the dissolution of these tracts.
The right 10 acquire, possess and protect
property is given to all men under our or->
game law, and no arbitrary law or custom
should exist that would deprive an owner of
his property, be il great or small without n
fair and acceptable compensation therefor
and to think Of or suggest any other method
is not in keeping with rights of an American
citizen.
The solution OF this problem is to encourage
the immigration of class of people that are
not spectators in any sense, but home seekers
tnat desire TO settle upon and cultivate the
land, and make for themselves a productive
property. Right here viii be said. s.How is
TINS TO be done upon limited amount of
money? We cannot buy this Ian i that is now
held by these rich owners
But We say TO this class of people with but a
small amount OF money at their disposal you
can buy land from these large holders, and at
such price, too, that will warrant you in so
doing. and the payment for this land can be
SO arranged as 10 cover a period of time that
viii enable you to make it from the land it
SELF You can get this land at rom four to
SIX years, ana the character of the lands are
such as VIII produce in that time their pur-
chase price, and leave to the worker profit
besides.
In no other way, in our opinion, can this
question be solved and the advantages that
VIII come from it to the people in the future,
viii more than pay the State for the imagi-
nary drawbacks it is supposed to have in
CURED upon the community.
BY the system now in vogue for the disposal
OF these large holdings as herein referred to,
we are sure to get an increase Of population of
an intelligent and desired class OF people with
some means, and that will be credit TO the
State
Thus we say these large land-holdings have
not been such a serious drawback as was sup
posed. On the contrary, we argue, they will
be the means of giving to us not only desirable
settlers, but, where required. a thorough sys-
tenn OF irrigation. The extensive and costly
irrlgating systems of this State are the direct
outcome of large Undertakings. These under
ta&ings are OF such magnitude that it is safe

Send q Committee.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: 1t has been an
nounced that next Monday the petition
business will be recOnsidered by the Su-
pervisors, and that they expect to do
away with that part OF the new ordinance
which requires the saloon men to furnish
a petition, signed by a majority of the
resident taxpayers, in order to obtain a
saloon license. 1t is to be hoped that no
such action will be allowed, if the voice Of
the people can have any effect. Elk
Grove Precinct is going to send a COM
mittee Of ten to wait on the Supervisors
on Monday, and ask that the petition be
not revoked. Also all others who are not
on the committee, and who can go, are
cordially invited TO do so, and use their
influence in support Of the petition. 1t
is sincerely hoped that each precinct
throughout the entire county will send
a committee of just as many as they can
get to go, to ask that the Supervisors will
not revoke the petition, as it is by far the
best part of the new ordinance, as the
license is not enough higher to make any
material difference.
We realize that this is busy time, and
few will think they can spare the time,
but remember this is not small matter,
but one which involves the interest Of
each of us, and the prosperity of our
county. Has not low licenses and
numerous saloons been tried long enough?
Why not use every effort within our
power (which is lawful to lessen the sa-
looms. and the evil which is derived from
them? If we have the interest of our COM
munity at heart; if we have any pride in
county and State, let us be careful that we
weigh this matter well, for small as it
may appear to some, much of the future
prosperity of the county rests with the
decision OF this particular part of the
ordinance.
The Supervisors did a grand thing in
passing the ordinance in giving the tax
payers a voice in saying how many Sa-
| looms should be granted permission to
run in a precinct, but have only let us
have the benefit two months, and now it
is said intend to revoke it, before it has
been tried long enough to see how much
good may be derived from it. 1t is very
strange that some of our county officers
always have the interest of the saloon
keeper so much more at heart than they
do the interest Of the farmers and those
in other branches of business. | under
stand that the Supervisors say this re-
quired petition puts such burden upon
the Saloon-keeper. l do not see as it is
any great burden to call with their petit
| ton around among their friends for their
| signatures. They are only too glad to
| have them call at their saloons and
patronize their business.
wonder if the Supervisors ever think
! of the burdens which are laid upon the
mass of the people by the saloons :?
| Heavy taxation, broken of our necessary
rest by the drunken mems noise, and the
Sabbath's quietness broken, our fathers,

sprfnkling-Cart Hydrants.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: l wish to give g
few reasons why the city sprinkling
wagons should not have particular hy-
drants fixed for taking the water, but
should carry from ten to twelve feet Of
hose so as to take water from any fire,
plug whenever their cart is empty.
The present supply hydrants are g
nuisance on account of the stagnant pud-
dies created wherever such is located.
Persons living on numbered streets
suffer in this respect more than others
but also suffer in hearing these heavily
loaded wagons slipping from one $50
called gravel to another, and thereby
shaking the buildings when passing, and
OF course keeping us unlucky dwellers
in the neighborhOod of a supply hydrant
awake most part of the night.
1t might perhaps do away with one OF
two assistant city tappers, as the
sprinkling cart would perform part OF
their duty, and no doubt ottener.
The city would be healthier, and we
forms and Ito covered wagons danger
Gus" supply pipe.
1t might benefit the firemen and their
engines in giving them cleaner water, tol
from some plugs the water might be
drawn daily instead OF once a month as
now.
Again, benefit the fireman in getting to
work quicker, by not being compelled tc
first turn Oft the water as now on q
sprinkling-cart hydrant, where it is al
ways turned on. These sprinkling-car
hydrants have fooled many firemen in
believing them broke because the water
being turned ON. This, of course, often
delayed them formerly in getting to work
quick and causes corresponding loss.
1t will save the sprinkling contractor a
great deal Of time III getting water in the
immediate vicinity Of his work
Now that our streets are nearly all
graveled, the sprinkling carts can take
and horses draw their load from most all
hydrant plugs.
The only objection can be by lazy
cart-driver objecting to making the at
tachment every time, or the owner of cart
being compelled to buy ten to twelve feet
OF hose and one butt. a SUFFERER.

LEN HARRIS.
The Brave Officer Who Was Shot by
Railroad Bandits.
He Was a Peace Officer Here Nearly
Forty Years Ago-A Man of
Nerve and Courage.

The many friends in this city of Len
Harris, the well-known and courageous
detective in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Company, We're pleased to learn
yesterday, by private kilograms, that his
chances of recovery from the wounds re-
ceived by him on the preceding night by
railroad robbers in Stanislaus County,
were quite encouraging.
Len Harris entered the employ of the
railroad company fifteen years ago. He
was selected for the duty of detective be-
cause Of his well-established reputation
for courage. For nearly twenty years
prior to that time he had been peace
officer in this city, with the exception of
few years that he served as Turnkey at
the San Quentin Prison.
In that time Harris had been in many
''hot corner" but his pluck and bravery
always pulled him through He was
member of the police force here at the
time Mortimer murdered Mrs Gibson,
and proved himself TO be just the man to
! deal with so desperate and determined
man as Mortimer.
! Len Harris was a candidate for Con-
stable at the election in 1861, when Leland
/ Stanford defeated Mcconnell and Con-
ness for the Governorship. The election
was held just thirty years ago to-day, and
was one of the liveliest that ever took
| place in Sacramento.
| Political feeling ran very high in those
| days, and fighting was the feature of
election day from the opening Of the polls
till the last ballot was deposited. Harris
was in charge of the special police ap-
/ pointed to preserve order, and was
always in the thickest of the fray.
/ Late in the afternoon he approached a
! group of excited men in the Fourth
/ Ward, and found that carpenter named
/ Whittier was endeavoriug to persuade a
man to vote against Harris, alleging that
/ the latter was rank secessionist.
| Harris had done a hard days work in
! quelling fights, and was not very fresh
at the time, but when he heard himself
/ denounced as a sccessionist his anger got
/ the best of him. With one spring he
! landed in the middle of the group and
| faced his enemy. Finding himself cor
nered, Whittier attempted to defend his
/ position, and in moment Harris sprang
| upon him.
! Whittier was stalwart man himself,
and the crowd fell back to give the COM
| batants chance. The fight waged
/ fercely for time, but Harris finally
! proved too much for his adversary, and
! gave him sound thrashing.
For several years past the railroad
company has kept Harris on duty,
/ chiefly in southern California, Arizona
/ and Texas, the land of desperadoes,
where has been terror among that
| class.
! The hope is earnestly expressed on all
I sides that the brave officer may be spared
! for many years OF future usefulness.
His son, John Harris, went to Alameda
| yesterday.
Later reports last night were to the eff
feet that the wounded man appeared to
! be worse.

dens which are laid upon us to bear by
the saloons. Friends, take the time Mon
day and go before the Supervisors. and
let them know that we realize the benefit
of the petition, and if they revoke 1t they
do so against the wish of the people,
whose servants they are, and that we
will not sit back with folded hands while
they aid the saloon-keepers in their busi-
ness, and do not look at the interest of
the better class. know from experience
that this petition is great help in sup
pressing the saloons. In our county seat
town, Indianola, Neb., we by the aid of
the petition have been enabled to keep
the saloons out of our town for seven
years. as we always send a remonstrance
right after the petition.

CUT IN TWO,
An Unknown Man Throws Himself Be-
fore a Locomotive

TUX q AIJDOIIIUIIFU "a.
About o'clock yesterday morning the
local train from Red Bluff ran over and
killed an unknown man short distance
this side of Vina.
The supposition is that the man was
crazy, or deliberately committed suicide.
The engineer noticed him on the track
when the engine was within 100 yards OF
him. He stepped to one side, but again.
just before the engine reached him, he
threw his body across one of the rails and
was cut in two at the waist. One half OF
his body lay on one side of the track, and
the other on the opposite side.
The'Coroner of Tehama took charge of
the remains.
