LA VIVA. Feb. 26. 1892.

LA VIVA, E0D. 20, O
EDITOR JOURNAL:-Since I last wrote
to you, 1 have seen many changes, and
have laid up lots Of experience, and
could discourse philosophy in big
chunks. I have paid literally for what
I know about colonies, cheap homes, and
the poor mans paradise. California is
q great country for fruits and flowers, it
has its thorns and briars, it has it's
health spots and its sickly~ places.
Wherever irrigation can be secured,
plenty crowns the laborer's toll. but, O
my! No matter how good the coil, tits
but a parched and barren waste without
TIE fructifying rains Of heaven, or bub-
bling stream from mountain heights.
In my last letter We were hopeful that
the rumors about fraud on the part of
the men who organized this colony, and
the questionable title to our purchases
would prove unfOunded, but alas, for
trusting humanity! The fraud did ma
terialize to our detriment financially,
and our title to our ten acres has gone
"where the wOOdbine twineth." The
Pacific company of San Francisco, are
trying to unravel the tangled thread,
twisted into CALLING knots, by Brown and
Baird, how far they shall succeed time
will tell. I believe the Pacific Co. are
men of character and will do what they
can to establish clear titles for US, but
possibly at the forfeit of what We have
already advanced; wife and I were fortu-
nate to secure employment at the camp
of the new deal. With economy, and our
health, We may W fifty dollars a
month. We have just finished planting
300 acres with grapevine cuttings. 1t
requires 1900 to each five acres, making
10000 cuttings planted. I put them
all in with a gang of ten Cinnamon. The
rainy season is about closing, and every
thing looks beautiful. The hills are clad
in emerald hue, and the flowers are fill
ing the air with odors and perfume that
the senses, and make us for
get the dreary wastes that lie along the
dreary alkali deserts, and volcanic for
nations, SO utterly destitute of all veg
life.
La grippe has been cavOrting around
among our people, after the Nebraska
fashion, as I gather from The JOURNAL,
and while it touched us lightly, it leaves
reminders of it's visit in aching bones
and stiffened limbs. Apart from this,
our health has been very good and 1
have no desire to give the shake to
glorious climate.
If I had invested my money in lots at
MADEIRA, it would have been a good
stroke instead of swapping at the decoy
successfully displayed by the John
Brown colony scheme.
But, MI. Turner, the old saying, "yOu
must kick around in the dust where you
dropped your nickle, if you expect to
ind it," holds good right here, and when
you are apt to put it where it
will do the most good.
This 1 shall try to do.

Mr.. A. N. Briggs a former citizen Of
Columbus, was in the city Friday. He
is now q resident Of Deer Lodge CO., Mon.
tana. His locality is 1900 feet above the
sea level, and the thermometer some
times for a few days reaches IS to g. de-
grees below zero. In summer the nights
are always cool and sleep invigOrating.
Horses pick their own living during the
winter, flourishing finely on bunch grass,
when SNOW is not more than two feet
deep. 1t is always light and fluffy, and
not fit for sleighing. Mr.. Briggs's resi-
dence is within q mile and a half Of
Georgetown, a considerable mining
camp. Mining and ranching are the
main industries OF Montana. MI. B.
tells of some of the fortunate finds" in
mining, notwithstanding which he has
eve had the gold fever: II. S. Clark,
who fifteen years ago invested his last
$75 in a sack Of flour, is now worth $l6,-
100000 above ground, and has twelve
hundred men working for him under
ground; Marcus DAILY, thirteen years ago,
couldn't raise 50 cts. to pay for q meals
victuals and now is worth $13,OOO,OOO.
A man who worked for Bert Briggs at
s. a day on the rancho, got restless and
said that was too slow a way for getting
rich. When told that he might do IDEAL
worse prospecting, he replied: bigger
fools than 1 am have got rich that way"
He bought him an outfit, went prospect
ing and within three weeks no sold his
find for $75,O 600 ::but, az Mr. Briggs says,
where one is successful, there are dozens
Of failures.

THIS MORNINGS TEACHERS MEETING.

THIS MORNINGS TEACHERS MEETING.
The preparations for opening the Alexandria
city public schools were begun this morning
at the Peabody building. Superintendent Carne
called the white teachers together At 10 O'Clock
and after giving directions for the orcaniza-
ton OF the schools. the blanks, registers, &c
were delivered TO the teachers. At IL O'Clock
the coiored teachers were called together and
the preparations made for the opening Of the
colored schools. The permits will be issued
next week and the public schools open the week
following. II is thought that there will be a
considerable augmentation Of the attendance in
the public schools and that some new schools
will be needed.
LIBRARY AND READING ROOM MEETING.
A meeting Of the committee on the free
library and reading room was held at the Pea
body building last night The attendance was
small, but the committee made an organization,
eiecung Mr. John r. Zimmerman chairman,
and having visited the library room and seen
its present condition adjourned to meet at the
call Of the chairman. The chairman suggested
during the meeting the migrating of a new
reference library the present Alexandria
library. and said that only comparatively
small sum would be required for this purpose
He said that on consulting Mr.. Spoford
the librarian Of Congress. that gentleman had
warmly recommended the plan as especially
suitable for smaller cities. where no other
libraries could be gotten up, and had
| offered his services to forward any move
ment in the matter. Alexandria has already a
comfortable room in a convenient location al
the Peabody building. on King street. and The
gathering of small fund is all that is need ed C
put the plan in operation.

An Ounce of Preve ntiou.

To the Editor q The Evening Star:
Your note Of warning in Friday evenings edi-
ton on the cholera question was, TO the point
and well timed. Without posing rs an alarmist
it is necessary to face a probable danger with q
little more activity than we appear 10 be doing,
and ii should be appreciated in all seriousness
by our sanitary officers and Commissioners that
epide mic cholera, not only in one but several
OF the largest European seaports, indicate al
side of the Atlantic. All experience 80 far in
Europe goes to show that our boosted
Quarantine system and sanitary cordons
have failed as a barrier to cholera, and this al
most axiom should suggest the necessty OF
taking immediate steps to prepare for ii even
before il reaches this side. 1t being q "flth
disease" it very naturally nourishes most in To-
calities where the sanitary conditions and sur
roundings are below par, where the
water supply 10 contaminated, where
alleys are dirty with accumulated Nth
and garbage and where people are overcrowded
houses, in narrow, crooked and dirty streets.
1t would be folly for us to sit still and depend
upon New York, Boston, Baltimore and New
Orleans to fight of the disease by their quaran-
tine systems, but We must be In such Q condi-
ton that should they fail We may present .
choleraic germs to thrive in and multiply.
In overhauling city under such . state Of
affairs rs now confronts us il is often the case
that the main efforts are made in the most
fashionable and sanitary quarters. This will do
no harm, Of course, but il il Of the utmost i'm
portance that the alleys should be looked after
and those quarters Of the city which in ordinary
times give the largest morbility, mortality and
death rate. In Q nut shell, Asiatic cholera re-
4uires for its development but two things-
specific germ and Q congenial soil In which to
multiply. Europe may probably furnish NJ
the germ. but it 10 to be hoped that We viii not
furnish the second essential We can do great
deal by proper cooperation Of the different
District officers and citizens. 6AxrrAs.
