Colusa Sun: "There is an iron-bound
canyon just above Red Bluff, and it would
take more than mint of money to get
around it. The steamer Banner, under
| command of Captain William Pierce,
went through the canyon once, but it is
not practically navigable through the
canyon. 1t is entirely practicable, how
! ever, to run regularly to Red Bluff, and
we are glad to see the San Francisco
papers gradually getting some informa-
ton on the subject"
| San Diegaa Sun: "From all over San
Diego County there have come reports of
4 most encouraging character concerning
the fruit and grain crops. The effect of
the abundant rain followed by the warm
weather and steady sunshine is manifest
IN every locality, in every valley and on
every mesa, in rapid and almost tropic

Will be enormous. There never was a
better stand, and never so large an
acreage. And so with fruit. Trees had
no setback during the winter. There was
no frost, while the rain and sun have
! started early growth. The yield of all
KIND OF fruit will be abundant. There
never has been time when so much gen.
eral Improvement was going on at once

Referring to the Capital removal con-
test the Los Angeles Express says: 1T
has been said in some quarters that the
! question should be allowed to come
| before the people for decision, and that,
! should Sacramento win in the courts on
the questions now raised, the next Legis-
! Iature Will certainly take such action as
to surely bring the question before the
voters. This would he the correct view
OF the case ii the late Legislature had
acted after due discussion, or in obedi-
ence to any popular demand. The truth
is, however, that the subject of removing
the Capital had not even been men
toned before the resolution was intro
| duced in the closing hours of the late SEES
sion, and the whole proceeding was .
great surprise to the State. The next
Legislature may take an entirely differ
ent view of the matter. The resolution
did not in fact receive the requisite two
thirds vote in the Senate at the recent ses-
sion, the vote of Sacramento Senator
being recorded in its favor, through a
misrepresentation, and permission to cor
rect his error being denied him. Aside
from the relative merits of Sacramento
and San Jose, it is scarcely likely that
the people would approve the amend
ment, in view of the indecent haste with
which it was rushed through the Legis-

taken of the Sacramento Senator, and the
taxation that would of necessity be in
