DESCRIPTION OF THE LIGHT TRACT
COLONY.

TTNHE TRACT OF LAND To WHICH THE
Il above name has been given is located onIy
4 miles southeast from Newcastle. a thrivinS
Town OF flacer County, a railroad station on
I1c Ine OF the Central Pacific. The towns of
Newcastle and Penryn, both stations on the
same road and the leading fruit shippinu
points OF Central California, are only A miles.
over an excellent wagon road winding
through beautiful foothfll scenery. nassineS
large and thrifty orchards and yineyards
The elevation is $50 feet at Newcastle beinU
above the range of fogs and not too far inland
10 escape the cool evening breeze which comes
so refreshing from the ocean. The evenings in
this locality are delightful The county seat
Is only miles away, at the town of Auburn.
Where hundreds OF people with lung com
p!alnt congfegate every year. This place is
Mighty recommended by leading physicians
SO much for the surroundings and now for
the Iand and plan for selling. The tract
originally contained 476 acres which has
been subd1ylded into lots Of 20 acres with "a
road leading from the county road to each lot
SO all Will have an open drive to and from
their land. The soil is of q dark color deem
rich and easily cultivated 1t is all cleared az
underbruSh, which is great saving 10 a he
ginner, as the usual cost OF clearing land is
not less than $50 per acre. Nearly every lot
mas wood enough for family use for years
Corn grows without irrigation; in fact no irrt-
cation is needed for anything planted save
berries: Orange trees planted at Loomis had
no water except rainfall, grew well and but
one died. Should q person buying need
water 1t can be easily obtained, as a ditch
runs through one corner of the tract
We claim this to be one OF the most desir.
able places in Central California. Several
parties have already purchased and are highly
pleased, which anyone can see upon tracts
now under cultivation.
Our terms were never offered before unon
any tract of land so centrally located aS t6a

They Understand Human Nature.

One reason why sharpers succeed so
well in preying upon country folks who
come to the city seems to be that the
strangers do not know how to say no.
They feel alone and unsupported and
they lose their nerve, so that they may
be led TODD many foolish things which
they would not do at home. This is
well illustrated at the ferry houses.
Little street Arabs stand at the cross
ings in front of the ferries and accost
the strangers who have valises, saying:
Let me carry that for you, sir?" The
smartest of them do not solicit at all,
but rush up and seize the strangers
bags, even using a little force. 1t is
noticeable that in at least half such
cases the countrymen let the boys have
their way. They are able to carry
their own burdens, and really want to
do so, but they seem to grow helpless

ON HE UP GRADE.

Up IN the early mornin' when the sun begins to
Above the gray horizon, and rise up from my
And go out TO do the fccdin' and milk and other
chores
CAnd the airs 50 cool and spicy when oodys
out Of DOORS,
always like to listen TO the pufnn thaI Is
By the locomotive engine a cIimbin' up the
grade.
IT'S a picture worth q painter, the hay morn
The lazy, drifting clouds above, the dewy
The screechin' Of the whistle and the smoke
Above the string Of box cars and fadLn' Gown
the track,
An the wallin' birds all ioinin' in this mOrnin'
serenade
By that pufin', chufiu' engine climbin' up the

How it's like our lives, for sometimes II seems
all uphill work,
An our loads keep gittin' heavy and we feel IN
clined to shirll;
AMI we keep on pullin' ontil we reached the
top,
There's still a weary piece Of track before we
get TO stop,
But we go down track o whtzzin' and think
our fortunes made,
When our air castles are broken and We strike
another grade.
But you want to keep on climbin' and never
gOin' back,
And remember up the incline is piece Of

An when you've done your journey you viii
look back on the road
An think Of the distractions and trials you've

And vor'u thank your perseverance when you
see how it has paid
To keep on pufin', chufin and climoln' up

The County Commissioners,

Mr.. Shallcross, the president of the
commissioners of Kent county, has
addressed a communication to each
of the county commissioners in the
State suggesting a convention in
Baltimore to consult about proper
legislation necessary by the consti-
tuition. This is q most timely and
important suggestion. The legis-
lature will be required to fix term
OF office. and in doing so the ques-
tion Of the proper compensation
and number of commissioners
should be considered. A sugges-
ton has been made that the num-
Der of commissioners for each coun-
ty be reduced to three, and that
one of these go out of office and a
new one be elected biennially. The
position is an arduous and an i'm
portant one, which it is difficult to
properly fill. There is great re-
luctance to serve as county commits
sioner, and perhaps the office would
be made more attractive and the
services of good men could be more
easily secured by offering better
compensation. All these things
should be carefully considered in
advance of the meeting of the Leg
islature.
The Republican., 1891-12-18

prominent place. lie believes
that the Mckinley law is favorable
to low prices, and that it is condu-
Give to the building up and
strengthening of home industry
and is thus beneficial to the people
directly and indirectly. The free
coinage of silver under existing
conditions is declared to be danger
Gus, and the President hopes that
no serious steps will be taken to
change existing laws until they
have been more thoroughly tested
than is now the case.
The various departments of the
government are commented upon
and all shown to be in good condi-
tion. Work upon the census is
nearly completed, the Pension Bu-
reau is we'll up with the cases
brought to its attention, the Agri-
cultural Department is proving an
increasing benefit to the people,
while the national finances show a
favorable state of affairs.
In conclusion, the President re-
fers to the departure Of the State OF
Michigan from the uniform method
of choosing Presidential electors,
which, with the ordinary political
gerrymander, constitutes what is
termed "a national danger. Mr..
Harrison expresses his views upon
this subject with good deal Of
vigor, and what he has to say can.
not fail to provoke healthful pop.
ular discussion upon q manifestly
interesting and important topic.
1t will thus be seen that the mes.
sage is neither commonplace mol
filled with stale phrases, but is 8
thoughtful presentation of live
questions affecting the govern
ment's foreign and internal rela
tions. Ex.
The Republican., 1891-12-18

the Tory organ, as the News is the
Liberal organ, says that sit must
be admitted that the figures he
quotes, although they do not justi-
fly the sanguine hopes of the au-
thors of the Mckinley Tariff law,
are sufficient to cause some surprise
to adverse critics, both at home and
abroad"
Even that malignant organ of
British free trade, the N. Y.
Times, says of the message: "Its
tone is dignified, its arrangement
clear and businesslike, most of its
recommendations are conservative
and sensible, and some of them are
timely and sound"
The message is a document that
should be read by every American
citizen. Its clear, terse and ex-
hsustive summary of affairs leaves
nothing to be desired. 1t breathes
throughout a lofty tone of patriot
ism. Although modest and digni-
fed, it shows a thorough confidence
in the power of this administration
to uphold the honor Of the Ameri'
can name at home and abroad.
