Cotton In California.


at divers times the farmers of California
have been almost persuaded to embark in
the experiment OF cotton planting, but the
inducements held out have not been so
clearly advantageous as to create any great
amount of enthusiasm for the project 1t
would be a good thing if another Industry
could be probably introduced into Cali
fornia, but cotton planting has not a fasci-
mating outlook. A correspondent of the
Colusa Sun, Endorsed as a gentleman of ex.
perience, says very truly that cotton can
not be grown proftably on land that is worth
500 an acre, and adds: The truth is that
cotton is like wheat, barley, corn or any
of the ordinary crops, there is nothing more
in it for the grower than u bare living. Cali
fOTnia farmers want nothing to do with
cotton. They can make more out Of a hun
dred other productions, and il would be
poor policy to try to- rival the Southern
States in growing cotton when labor here is
double what it is there, yet hard labor is one
of the important considerations in the rails

The bet was made and the money put in
Tedro's hands. The scheme was then con-
summated, for at the moment another man
stepped up and seized Chaplin just as the
third party whispered a warming, Look
out for the cop" Tedro started to run as
if afraid of the bogus cop" Chaplin saw
the point, and started to give chase to the
man who mad his $40. The "cop" fakir
and his pal took the opportunity to get out
of the way. a citizen Intercepted TedrO,
and Chaplin took him to the jail in a wagon
which he hired for the purpose.

LUMBER INTERESTS.
An Important Demand Made By tbs Vancou-
yer Rnar1 of Trade.

An important uemanQ maze Dy lA5 FdHCVu'
yer Board Of Trade.
VANCOUVER ID. c., Feb. 5.-The council
of the Vancouver Board of Trade has raised
a question If considerable importance to the
lumbermen of Canada and the United
States. British Columbia fir pays duty of
50 per thousand feet in the United States,
while Eastern Canadian lumber is only
charged ST. Since the export on logs has
been reduced the Vancouver board de-
mands that fir shall be admitted into the
United States at the same rate as Eastern
lumber, under the reciprocity clause OF the
Mckinley tariff. 1t otherwise asks that
Canada impose duty of 81 on pitch pine
from the Southern States, which completes
for car-Sjlls aud similar work with British
Columbia fir. The reduction of the Ameri-
can duty by 81 or the imposition OF the
Canadian s. will greatly improve the con-
dltion of the British Columbia lumber bust
ness, and at the same lime it Is demanded
that no discrimination is to exist by the
United States or Canada or by the lumber
OF the Eastern provinces against that Of the
Pacific.
