DIVIDING THE LAND.
Even Santa Cruz County Feels the EVIL
of Land Monopoly.
[Santa Cruz Surf. April 4

TSanta Cruz Surf, April 4th.
There is noquestion now pressing upon
the people of California for solution that
is of more importance than that of the
subdivision of the large ranches of the
State into small holdings. The evil
presses upon every section of the State
and almost upon every county. Some OF
our leading newspapers, notably the
RECoRD-UNIoN, the Colusa Sun, the Los
Angeles Times and San Diego onion have
made it the subject of special study and
persistent agitation. By statistics care
fully collected by these Journalists it is
made evident that the evil is not only OF
great magnitude now, but is constantly
increasing. The Hon. w. H. Mills.
lending the aid of his influence and his
energy to the cause has recently contrib
uted 10 the subject an exhaustive treatise
dealing in detail, not only with the ex-
tent Of the evil, but with its causes. its
consequences and its proposed remedies.
In this county we are not so much
hampered by great ranches as are some
other counties in the State, but we are
| not wholly free from them, nor is there
any county where the contrast between
| the results of large ranches and the re-
! suits of small holdings are more unmis-
! takably manifest than here. There has
been some notable illustrations of the
! benefits which flow from the subdivision
| OF large ranches In the santa cara Nalley
recently and we agree with the San Jose
| Mercury when it expresses n profound
! qualification in learning that there is to
| be a further subdivision of the great
ranches of that county. The 1IeTcuya
says c. II. Phillips has already subdi-
vided the Morgan Hill ranch and has ar
ranged TO place it on the market, and the
San MARITIME ranch will soon be similarly
| treated. Mr.. Phillips has great expert
ence in this work, having in the last few
years subdivided and sold in small tracts
| above 1000 acres of. land. 1t is a notable
! fact, one which shows how great is the pop
ular demand for small holdings and how
profitable they are to all who buy them
! that out of the vast number he has sold
| Mr. Phillips has never had to foreclose 9
mortgage on single one of them. Tn
| der the influence Of Mr.. Mills the South
ern Pacific road is now to engage in the
work of subdivision.
| All the arguments, facts, statistics and
! proofs, from reason and from experience
are on the side of small holdings. Edu-
cation, culture, patriotism and religion
| itself are on the same side. So long as
/ big ranches stand so long will California;

An Unprecedented Worlds Fair
Offer to the People.
FOR A NOMINAL SUM THE BEST OF CHICAGO
AND CALIFORNIA JOURNALISM.
For Two Dollars the Chicago NTER0CAN Weekly and the WEEKLY
UNONThe Great Worlds Fair History from this day toits
Close Day by Day-Twenty-fOur Pages two Great
Journals Week for less than Four Cents

The REcoRD-UNIoN and WEEKLY
UNION make an announcement which
viii attract great deal of de-
served attention. The management of
ment with the Chicago Weekly Inter
Ocean, one of the largest, best and all
around attractive and valuable news
papers in the world, by which the
WEEKLY UNION and Weekly Inter ocean,
issued from the DdtIg Inter Ocean Office,
will, from this date to the close of the year
ofthe Columbian Exposition and Worlds
Fair at Chicago, be furnished for the
very low price of g year for both pa
pers, or the Weekly Inter Ocean and the
DAILY RECoRD-UNIoN for So so year.
The meaning of this is that the sub
scriber TO the WEEKLY UNION of twelve
pages, and ST columns a week, will also
receive the Weekly Inte1-Oc of twelve
pages, and los columnsa week, or "a pages
in the aggregate for 81 year.
1t must be borne in mind that the activ-
titles concerning the Worlds Fair are al
ready well-advanced. Nearly all the
great buildings are under construction,
foreign commissioners and workmen are
arriving, and constant, and lively and
ever increasing interest is now begun.
To fully get the benefit of all matters con-
corning the great exposition, one should
begin now with its history aud follow it
through all its development and up to its
close.
Now the Chicago Inter Ocean is clean,
nighminded paper. 1t can with perfect
confidence be placed in the hands of
youth with assurance that it will be to
them helpful and elevating. tits splen-
did literary journal, full of matters of
greatest interest to home-kitchen to par
lor-of1ice, business mart, library, studio,
lecture-room, school, church, theater,
shop, harbor, field, orchard-indeed its
great success has been won by reason of
its skill-in acceptably addressing varied
tastes. Every one knows what the
WEEKLY UNION is, it needs in these col
umns no introduction. 1t is proud, how
ever, to associate itself with a journal of
such worldwide reputation as the Inter
Ocean.
That all subscribers may profit by the
arrangement announced, we are able to
say that-old subscribers to the WEEKLY
UNION, on renewal, may avail of the
new offer by paying the few cents addi-
tional, and which really does not equal the
cost of the white paper upon which the
Inter Ocean or the WEEKLY UNION is
printed.
The WEEKLY UNION makes this Column
bian year present to its patrons, new and
old. as a means of gratifying long
entertained desire to afford its readers
full and accurate information about the
wonders and wealth Of the great Worlds
Fair We might have expended large
sum in extra special correspondence, and
we will have special writing and news
from the great fair, but it could not begin
THE USUAL COMMISSION PAID
The record-union., 1892-04-09

to be so extensive, so elaborate, as will be
the matter published on the ground from
day TO day by the Inter Ocean, nor could
any correspondence be one-twentieth so
detailed as will be the reports in the
Inter Ocean.
The offer made, therefore, is one that
we anticipate will be widely appreciated.
1t has been made possible only by great
difficulty and at heavy expense to the
WEEKLY UNION, but it enables the latter
to supplement its own efforts, which are
being constantly augmented, with the
best news and family paper published
in Chicago. The Inter Ocean manage
ment has nothing to gain by the new ar
rangement, beyond the introduction of
its weekly more generally in California.
1t will not make a similar arrangement
with any other paper; it did not suggest
it to the WEEKLY UNION, but it is the
result of the labor and solicitation of the
| management of the latter alone. It will
be realized, therefore, that it is a special,
unprecedented and exceedingly valuable
offer, one we think that has not been
paralleled in the history of journalism.
1t means that for 81 a year there will be
mailed free of postage and neatly wrap
ped. to any subscriber. twentyfour pages
weekly of two of the best general news,
family, business and literary papers in
the world, or 1,2iS pages and 1884 col
umns at cost of less than four cents a
week.
Under such conditions any man or
woman, however poor, can have IL
brary of the news of the times; an elab
crate current news history of the world;
an exhaustive record of all Worlds Fair
clean, deeply interesting mass Of matter
for general reading, embraced in nearly
200 columns every week for very little
oUer half cent day.
We submit this unequaled offer to all
lNSOSio Va ihO 4A-NOhb- " MIN ain
! WEEKLY UNION, and to all others, with
confidence that it will be received with
pleasure and widely availed of. That it
may be made still more convenient and
acceptable to those who profit by the
offer, we have arranged that the Inter
| Ocean shall be mailed direct from Chi
cago to our subscribers, so that all who
accept the 81 otter will twice week, and
on different dates, receive large u page
paper.
To those who wish the daily RECORD
UNION and the weekly Inter Ocean for
the same period, we make the offer to
furnish both papers for So 80 year. The
price of the daily REcoRD-UNIoN is So
alone. Thus this offer means that for SO
cents added to the regular price of the
| REcoRD-UNIoN we will furnish two
| thousand, four hundred and ninety-six
/ pages of newspaper matter for year, or
/ eighteen thousand seven hundred and
! twenty columns of matter printed in two
| distinct sections of our common country.

Electrical Progress.
Rona.a nt1u Ton,n.l

When he had perfected the incan-
descent electric lamp, with its filament
of carbon more enduring than any
known metal, Mr.. Edison told the
newspapers that electrical science was
only in its infancy. Many people
thought the end of its development
was almost reached, but subsequent
events have shown that the wizard was
right. Hundreds Of discoveries have
since been made and hundreds more
are promised.
II is clear that science has so far de-
veloped but a mere outline of the pos
sibilities Of electricity. The latest au-
nouncement of Mr.. Edison is the
clearest proof of this that has yet been
produced. He says "the universe is
full of terrestrial and solar magnet
ism" and that u dynamo lis simply a
machine which pumps out this mag
netism so that it runs in a stream
along a given line, just as one may
pump water out of the ocean and set a
stream running from it," The average
electrical inventor has been in the
dark abOut the source of supply upon
which he has been working. Mr.. Ed
ison has reached a point in his discOv-
cries where he has the whole power of
the subtle fluid at his command, aud
he has already taken advantage of the
knowledge contained in the above sem
tence.
Acting upon the theory named, he
is engaged in constructing a machine
by which he proposes 10 produce cleo
tricity without the use Of anything
like dynamo. And he feels sure that
he can do it at a cost very much below
the present cost Of Harvesting the
power. Heretofore the problem has
been how to generate or manufacture
electricity; but hereafter it will I've
how to concentrate II and control it.
In this direction progress will be pgin-
cipally in the way of cheapening the
supply, and with that accomplished
until the energy contained in ton Of
coal may he transformed into electric
ity and conveyed 4 reasonable distance
without waste, Mr.. Edison's present
homes will he fulfilled.
