A LESSON FOR CALIFORNIA.

An incident happened at Cincinnati on
the Doth inst. that has in it lesson for
California of no small importance, and
which we propose to emphasize, in the
hope that it may bear for the State some
excellent fruit.
We have thought and said that Califor-
MIA has in the past placed herself in an I'M
fortunate attitude by the methods en-
ployed in soliciting our Eastern brethren
TO visit the State and examine into its
CLAIMS for greater population and the in
coming of capital and enterprising spirit.
1t has been humiliating to observe the
begging attitude of many California dele
cations. We have sent to the East com
mittees that have had the bad taste not to
only beg, but to offer brides to executive
bodies to fix the sessions of their main
organizations in California. In some in
stances these trumpeters have opened
bars and assaiIed the Eastern men
through the grosser appetites; there have
been drum beatings, banner-floatings
gun-frings and wine-guzzling without
limit, to say nothing of immodest boast
ing of our hospitality and our glorious
climate that could have lad no otl.el

Mrs. Logan is editor and conductor OF
The Home Magazine, now in its
fourth volume, published at the National
Capital by the Brodix Publishing Com
pany monthly. 1t is a large quarto of
forty pages and 1G0 columns, equal to 200
pages of the ordinary octave monthly
magazine.
The Home Nagdzine is profusely and
handsomely illustrated, and in all re-
spects broad-minded, versatile, at
tractive, elevating journal, the influence
of which is widespread and everywhere
wholesome.
The RECORD UNION rarely clubs with
any journal, but its admiration for The
Home Magazine and our belief in its
beneiicent character has induced US to
enter into negotiations with Mrs.
Logan for the furnishing of
our magnificent twelve-page WEEKLY
zine. These negotiations have been hap
PLY concluded, and we are enabled to
announce that for the nominal sum OF
81 75i we will mail, postpaid, to any part
of the United States or Canada the
WEEKLY UNION and The Home Maga-
zine. We are confident that no such lib
eral offer has ever been made as this. II
is unprecedented in journalism, and will
prove TO all readers of these journals a
benefaction of the first order.
We take the opportunity, therefore, to
point out some of the virtues of The Home
Magazine. In the first place it is pa
triotic, American clear through. Next
it is edited with ability. vigor and bril-
liancy, but not over-edited. In the third
place it is extremely varied in contents
and addresses many tastes. Lastly it is
essentially home magazine.

effect upon sensible people than to dis
gust them and cause them to estimate
California as the land of gush, brag and
brazen impudence
But to the California Press Association
it has been left to give the State at least
one example of dignified and modest
procedure in the matter of soliciting visi-
tations. 1t sent to Cincinnati to appear
before the Executive Committee of the
National Editorial Association a commit
tee of sensible men; Woodworking.
straightforward and dignifed newspaper
men representing rural worth in Cali
fornia.
This committee of four went before the
National Committee on the 10th inst. and
extended dignified and courteous invi-
tatlon, in the name of the State Press AS
ISOLATION, the State Board of Trade, the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
and the legislative bodies of interior
cities. The delegation, in a non-efTusive,
dignified and modest manner, expressed
to the National Committee the great
pleasure it would be to the people of Cali
fornia to have the editors of the East
learn something more of their common
country by personal observation in the
chief State of the Pacific Slope In the
name of that great educational process,
n in he % = al
ton triumphed.
From letter by Mr.. Allen B. Lem
mon, one Of the committee consisting of
G. NJ. Francis, Scipio Craig, J. a.
Filcher and Mr.. Lennon, we learn that
there was no beating Of drums, no blow
ing Of trumpets and no bar in behalf of
California. Our delegation had very
warm opposition. Asbury Park was
there by representatives, who were first
upon the ground; they were boomers,
with pictures of their streets and ave
nues, elegant descriptive literature, gen
eral good cheer and stimulants. Atlantic
City made vigorous canvass, and Ash
erville was in the fight with an earnest
ness representative of Eastern vigor. But
California subsidized no newspapers,
maintained no bar, did no hurrahing,
foated no banners, INDUCED in no boom
ing, made no boasts; but in dignified,
invitation of her cities and towns, simply
and plainly stated what would be the
route of travel through the State, and
precisely what expense the trip would be
to each visitor and to what extent Cali
fornia would afford them opportunity to
travel in the State-and California won,
won on the first ballot to the surprise of
all other contestants.
All which proves that the very worst
thing we can do in inviting guests is to
disgust them with profuse promises of
hospitality, to insult their integrity by
offers amounting to brides, and to offend
their manhood by filling their stomachs
to the befuddling of their judgments. Let
the lesson reach beyond even these lines
and teach us that when our guests come
we should not weary them by ringing
the changes upon our bounteous hos
pitality, tireless discourses concerning
our glorious climate and reverend
ing apostrophes to our State, that in nine
cases out of ten testify only to inflated
self-conceit and serve but to expose to
our visitors our limitless vanity.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Nearly All of Brannan Island to be Cui.
tivated This Year.

tlNaCed InlS L ear.
Organization on Brannan Island is now
assured, and before many weeks of the
new year, 1882, have passed into oblivion
the rancherS on that rich body of land
will feel protected to a certain extent
from future floods of the Sacramento
River, says the Rio Vista Meas.
y meeting of the committee of seven,
recently appointed, met at IsletOn last
week, Saturday, and it was there and
| then decided to solicit the signatures Of
| the holders to an agreement TO form an
organization similar to that of the Pierson
District. 1t is believed that if this can be
done-and there is little doubt Of it-that
IN the course OF a few years an OrganiZa-
ton under the swamp land laws OF the
State can be effected.
1t was the opinion of the committee
that it would be advisable to raise the
leVeeS 10 a standard Of four feet above the
high-water mark of two years ago. 1t is
found that all the levee on this side Of the
island is from two to three feet above that
mark, and 1t viii be matter of little eX
pense to build all the leyee required to be
so built-about fifteen miles-to that de-
sired standard.
or the 5000 acres comprising the island,
all but about 500 acres are perfectly dry
! and IN tit condition for cultivation, and
! the ranches Of Hart Smith, George But
Ter, }. Hodapp, Thomas McCort, Louis
Ruble, J. +. Wilcox, 2. Kuhn and others
viii all be cultivated, while large tract
of Robert Zeile's has been rented by
Henry kulper and will be seeded this
season.
1t will be remembered the island was
| flooded two years ago, and but very little
OF it was worked the summer following
or last year, but the water was drained
off without even the assistance of pump,
and to-day the island is found in excel
lent condition for cultivation and the
owners are to be congratulated upon
their valuable possessions.
