The Piute Indians have a tradition
that extends back they know not how
far into the long ago Of AN Indian Of
giant stature who gave them trouble.
They say that the giant warrior came
from the north He took up his abode
near Pyramid lake and made war on
the Piutes. killing many of their men.
The giant was finally slain by a Piute
David. who crept up behind him and
drove a poisoned arrow into his body
between the shoulder blades. Two or
three of the giants tracks and his grave
are shown to this day. The tracks are
nea the Truckee river, between Wads-
worth and Pyramid lake. They are in
soft sandstone, and are still kept clear
of sand and soil.
Every Indian that passes that spot
stoOps and sweeps out any dirt that
may have lodged in the big tracks.
The giants grave is not Ear from where
the tracks are seen. The grave is al
ways kept clear of vegetation; any
grass or weeds seen growing uponit are
pulled up by the roots. In this way
the spot has always been kept marked.
The Indians also have a tradition of
huge animals that roamed the country.
They say these animals had horns with
which they were able to uproot trees.
To rid themselves of these great beasts
the whole Piute tribe turned out, sur
rounded the herd, and drove them into
Pyramid lake, where all were drowned.
Even now, when the lake is seen roll
ing about far out from shore, the In
dams point to the waves and say they
are the backs of the monster beasts

In 1890 there were sixteen persons with
holdings in excess of 10000 acres. the
smallest being 10,39S, and the largest
1928 acres. The aggregate of the hold
ings in 1890 was 493,3 1853 acres, valued at
S2,72l ,79s, being an increase of l2S,O3
acres; or in other words, the sixteen
largest holders had covered into their
ownerships l2S,0O0 additional acres of
land in five years. The difference be-
tween the aggregate for 1880 and 1890,
covering period of ten years, was 397. .579
acres-nearly 100000 acres-which had
been taken into holdings of 10000 acres
and upwards. In ten years Tehama
County land owners had thrown under a
monopolized state 100000 acres of land,
which would have given to four hundred
families 1000 acres each, to 500 families
800 acres each, to l,600 families $50 acres
each, and to {, 200 families l25 acres each.
That there shall be no misapprehensioh,
we present the table for 1890 from the
official records as follows:

tions of the county. hit is not only driv-
ing out the entire incoming population,
but it is driving out the existing popula-
ton and particularly it's increase. The
Sacramento Valley, as whole, is being
depopulated by large land holdings, as
will be shown in the progress which the
REcoRD-UNIoN is imaking in the way of
collecting official statistics on the SUBJ
ject. The ranting demagogues who are
asking for additional overland trans
portation in order to increase the popula-
lation Of California will find in the statis-
tics herein presented food for reflection.
Some twelve years ago the RECORD
UNION took this subject in hand, intend
ing to make complete exposition of the
existing condition relating to the hold
ings Of land in this State. It was diverted
from its purpose at that time by other
matters of more pressing importance.
The abuse has grown apace until
to-day there is nothing of greater
significance than the condition of
the land holdings in this State and it
will be necessary to begin an agitation
on this subject which will result in leg
islation that will absolutely prevent the
further aggregation of the real property
of the country. To that agitation the
RECORD UNION will persistently devote
it's best energies. 1t will require but
ten years more to have all of Tehama
County in the ownership of sixteen men,
perhaps less time, and unless a remedy
can be found, the rest of the population
may as well take notice that they are ex-
pected to move.
1t remains to be noted that for pur-
poses of taxation, the 90, ,774 acres held by
the six largest holders in 1880 was valued
at S706, 400, or about 81 so an acre; while
the 1885, acres held by the sixteen
largest holders in 1890 was valued at
S72l ,79S, or a little less than S5 80 an acre.
By the same ratio of valuation obtaining
in 1880, the large holders in 1890 should
have paid taxes on the lands held by
them upon $3,697 200. Thus it will be
seen that the assessable value of property
decreases as the acreage of the holding
increases.

Let it be understood that this showing
exhibits six persons holding 10000 acres
and upwards in Tehama County. The
largest holder owned 81, ,167 acres and the
smallest of the six lO,602 acres.
In 1885 there We're sixteen persons
holding 10000 acres and upwards, and the
aggregate of their holdings was 365, 800
acres, valued at LII, ,2O3. The smallest
of these holdings was I0,473 acres and the
largest 1888 acres, an increase in the
largest holding of 41,S26 acres. The
increase in the aggregate holdings
Of those owning in excess of 10000
acres was 269,54S acres. Thus the
vast area of 269,5 acres had passed
into large holdings, being aggre-
gated from holdings of less than 10000
acres. Again, that there may be no mis-
take as to the detail of information which
discloses this alarming state of progress
made by land monopoly in California, we
present the table for 1885 from the official
assessment roll of Tehama County, as rol-

RETARDING THE GROWTH OF
THE STATE.

In recent issue Of this paper we
printed some statistical facts relating to
the progress of aggregating land holding
In Tehama County, which were sufi-
clently startling to justify the earnest and
thoughtful consideration of every we'll
wisher ofthis country.
Since then we have received additional
official data on the subject, of far reach
ing significance, which we desire to pre-
sent herein. In 1880 the assessment roll
OF Tehama County shows but six persons
possessing holdings of 10000 acres and
upwards. The aggregate holding by
these people was 95,774 acres, valued at
S706,4o For greater perspicuity we
present below tabulated statement of
the owners, the acreage and the value of
the six largest holders.

The significance of all this is not far to
seek. Large land holding is depopulat-
ing California. The population of Te-
hama County not only made no gain
from 1880 to 1880, but made an actual
loss. The young men of that county are
being driven out to find employment and
homes. The young life generated by the
population of that county is banished for.
want of profitable employment, driven
out by the absence of opportunity TO live
at home. Large land holdings are abso-
