We are now well within the
confines Of the golden state of
California, of which SO much has
been written and said that its lead.
ing characteristics have, to a great
extent, become well known to a
majority Of the intelligent people
of the United States. Yet, what a
vague impression do these disorip-
tions convey of the wonderful
reality 1t is no wonder that our
people at home regard the discrip-
tions of California and its products
given by returned travellers as
fish stories" And yet the half
has not been told
Yesterday we arrived from Red
lands and Riverside in Los Ange-
les, the wonderful city of the
southwest, the second city of the
state and the commercial metrop-
oils of Southern California, a city
which has grown with the rapidity
of Jonah's gourd, and is still grow
ing. In 1880 Los Angeles was a
sleepy, semi Mexican pueblo OF
200 people. Its houses we're
mostly of adobe, or sun-dried brick
its streets were unpaved, and few
even graded, its chief commerce
was confined to wool and hides.
Even in 1895 there had been little
improvement. But shortly thare.
after the Santa Fe railroad reached
Los Angeles, in competition with
the Southern Pacific, people began
to awaken to the wonderful re-
sources Of this section and g mar
velous Transformation commenced.
Look at what has been accom-
| plished in these shorl seven years.
The population Of Los Angeles
by the census of of 1890, was over
10000. There are in the city, in
round figures, 80 miles Of graded
and graveled slreetg, 10 miles Of
paved streets, and so miles oi
cement sidewalks. Most OF the
street paving is Of asphaltum. An
internal sewer system, for which
1914 600 was voted in 1890, is
about completed. The value o.
buildings erected in the past ten
years-and mainly within the pas
five-is not less than s20, 900, 900
including a $500, 600 court house
a 5000, 900 city hall, aud a number
of handsome four, five and siS
story blocks, costing from 500, O,0OC
TO $500, 900 each.
There are four distinct Systems
of water supply. For nearly ten
years the city has been lighted en-,
tirely by electricity, there being
250 electric lamps on high masts
with an aggregate candle power o.
100000. Seen by night, from one
! OF the hills which align the bust
ness section Oh the west, these
lamps give the city a fairy-lik'
appearance. The two handsome
theatres seat 400 and 1000 re-
spectiyely, and present most OF th'
leading attractions from the cas-
and Europe. A large pavilion
where fairs, fruit shows and meet
ings are held, seats 1000. The as
sessed value on city property hai

day declared as the law: That all
contracts for the occupancy of the
lands of the Cherokees between
citizens of the United States and
citizens of the Cherokee nation,
unless made in accordance with
the laws OF the Cherokee nation,
were absolutely void and That any

damages sustained by the plaintiff
by reason Of loss of sixty-fve
acres OF wheat.

The suppressed and pent up
wrath Of j. S. Holden, of the Null
drow Register, is being unloaded
upon the righteous head of THE
CHIEFTAIN in a manner that is
growing interesting. This fellow
has had a good deal to say recently
about the teachings of the "Divine
Master" and has been posing as a
moralist generally. Nice bird
to be teaching morals to others.

ONE fact Gov. Sayers made es-
pecially plain in his testimony
before the subcommittee in Wash

one to citizenship on account OF
having Cherokee blood in their

matter of grace on the part of the
nation to do so. The supreme
court of the United States so holds.

IS the time for building and repairing.
The farmer will know by this time tho
extent of the damage done by frost
and will have fair idea of the amount
of improvements he can afford in the
way OF building and repairing. Almost
every man in the county will have to do
something in this line this season. We
would be pleased to meet each and
every one of you and talk with you
about lumber. We would be more
than pleased to sell you your building
material. We have a good dry stock of
all that is needed for building and re-
pairing. We will not be undersold and
will try to make all our dealings pleas
ant and profitable for you.
We will buy barley this year, and
will take all kinds of grain in exchange
for lumber or accounts and will paw
one cent above market price for same.

END OF A CLIFF TOWN,
A Cloudburst That Carried Away the
Only Stairway Leading Up to 1t.

Only Stairway Leading Up to 1t.
About mile from Acoma is La
Mesa Encantada (the Enchanted hilN,
with perpendicular wall rising 40C
feet high from the plain. There is 9
weird tradition of this lofty cliff re-.
lated by James w. Steele, who states
that on this mesa was anciently the
home of the people OF Acoma. One
day in harvest time the whole popula-
ton OF the town-men. women and
children-with the exception of three
ailing women, were in the valley be-
low, working together, according to
their custom on such occasions.
A cloudburst, as the sudden rain
foods of the country are called, &C.
Cured up the valley, and a great
wave swept down, undermining the
sand upon which rested the narrow
staircase of notched rock by which
alone the top of the mesa could be
reached. When the people returned
they found where the stairs had been
the whole side of the mesa had fallen
in heap in the valley below, leaving
the summit absolutely inaccessible.
Ihe three women could be seen above
wandering around the edges waving
their arms and shouting, but no help
could reach them. The skeletons OF
these women lie somewhere on the
summit where still are the walls of
the old city, but nobody has assembled
the Mesa Encantada since the day of
the disastrous food.

blood, and Chinese. Amarried woman
may be naturalized without the con-
currence of her husband.
There are five classes of privileged
persons,
FIRST, MINORS.
Children of naturalized citizens,
under age of twenty-one at the time of
the naturalization of their parents, are
deemed citizens if dwelling in this
country. Minor children of foreign
parents, whose mother, after the death
Of the father, marries citizen, become
citizens. Children of citizens, who are
born abroad, are citizens of the United
States. In regard to the five years
qualification, portion of this time
may be years of the applicants minor
ity; in such case, the previous declara-
tion Of intention is not necessary if he
makes declaration at the time of his
admission, and proves and declares on
oath that for two years it has been his
lntenLl0n to become citizen.
SECOND, WIVES OF CITIZENS.
An alien woman of the race or class
entitled to naturalization, who marries
citizen, becomes by that act a citizen.
1t makes no difference if she is less
than twenty-one years of age. When
an alien is naturalized, his wife there
by becomes citizen. though she may
never come to the United States until
after his death. This latter statement
is. however, questioned in some courts.
n discussion of the three remaining
classes of privileged persons will be
found in our next paper.-Wm. G.

Having q Hobby.

A man who has a hobby is apt tc
have more or less enthusiasm, which
makes labor more endurable and
recreation more enjoyable. On this
point the Scientific American has q
suggestion which Is well worth heed.
ing:
Many young men ride mechanical
hobby, and are often building expert
mental machines. and making
young" steam-engines To such
men. electricity offers most enticing
field. There is no end to the direc-
tions in which thought may be profit
ably turned in connection with cleo
tricity. Well developed as it is, cleo.
tricity is as yet an almost unknown
thing. which will require lifetimes of
study for it's full understanding. Elec-
tricity is the future power of the
world, as it has always been it's life,
although unknown and uncompre-
hended for ages.
That a young man should waste
hours and days of his life in doing
worse than nothing, when he has such
field before him, is scarcely to be
believed. Let young men awake to
the idea that the advancement of the
world depends upon them personally;
that the years to come may be better
or worse as they choose to study or to
be idle, Then they will quit beer
drinking, dice-shaking and card
shutting, to avail themselves of the
privileges before them.
A man may be about what he makes
himself. nowadays. If he chooses to
become a sot the way is open; if he
chooses to become q power in the
land. he can do SO by going to work in
the ri IN and nr at it.

POPULAR TALKS son Law.
STANDARDIZATION,

One may be citizen of a state and
not citizen of the United States
Compliance with state laws of natural
lzatlon do not make man citizen of
the United States. This power is YES.
TED solely in congress, and yet, strange
to say, one may not be citizen of the
United States and yet vote for a -sena-
TOR or member of congress, and should
the power to choose president by any
chance be thrown into congress, as in
deed it may under the Constitution
there is given to persons not citizens
OF the United States, indirect influence
IN the choice of a president. This
comes about by the Constitution de-
claring that electors of members of
the lower house of congress, have the
qualifications requisite for electors of
the lower house of the state legisla-
lures. So that in order for an alien to
vote for member of congress, and in
directly for a senator or president, it
Is only necessary for him to be able to
vote for 1member of the more numer-
Gus branch of the state legislature.
The state may prescribe what qualifi-
cations it may see fit for state Citizen
ship, but congress alone can make an
alien a citizen of the whole country.
1t is difficult, in view of what has been
SAID, however, to see wherein lies the
distinction between a citizen of the
United States and citizen of one of
the states. One privilege at least the
state could not confer, and that is. she
could not give him as citizen those
privileges and immunities of citizens
OF the several states which the federal
constitution guarantees and secures.
We will state briefly who may be
naturalized under the laws of the
United States Any alien friend who
is free white person or a person of
African nativity or descent, who has
made the legal preliminary declaration,
and who has resided for the five years
next preceding his application, in the
United States, and for one year next
preceding such application, in the
state or territory in which the court
sits to whom he makes application,
and who, during that time, has bsen of

principles of the Constitution Of the

good order Of the same, may become q
