The County Assessors Quandary as to
How earn ShonId be Assessed

The County Assessors Quandary as to
How Carp Should be Assessed.
Assessor Irvine was down in the
Pocket" below the city, yesterday,
looking around TO get an idea as to the
assessment that should be levied on the
land there. He found on the lands of
Colonel McNasser and others a thousand
acres covered with water from one TO ten
feet deep.
1rvine's piscatorial instincts were
aroused when he saw a barefooted boy,
armed with pitchfork, wading around
on land that was last year assessed at $50
an acre, and throwing out carp two feet
long by the dozens. Had not his sense of
the dignity of his office restrained him, it
IS believed the Assessor would have cast
prudence to the winds, and pulling off
his boots and rolling up his pants emu
lated the barefooted boy in his exercise.
AS 1t was, he procured a sixteen-foot club
and prepared to deal destruction to the
fishes, which numbered many thousands.
frightened by his demonstrations, how
ever, they fled from the shore into deeper
water.
Irvine thinks it is rather hard on the
owners to assess that land this year, but
is not so sure about the injustice of assess
ing the crop OF carp and the prospective
crop OF frogs. He is now studying the
code and the Constitution on the subject
OF assessing crops, in the hope of obtain
Ing some light on the subject.

SPLENDID ISSUE.
A Magnificent Paper-A Library for

The ''Inter-Ocean's'' Birthday-How
That Paper and the Weekly
Union'' Can BE Had.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean is one of the
few great journals of heNage. On Satur-
day, the 25th of March, 1t attained its ma
jority-reached the age of p years.
On that occasion it issued one of the
largest and best papers that ever came
from press. 1t had an edition of 20O, 900
copies. 1t consisted of no less than sixty
pages, including four colored pictures
and the handsomest collection of adver-
tisements ever gotten together. This is
one of the most remarkable runs" ever
made.
The Inter Ocea1's weekly carries all
the matter of the daily that 'lives''-that
is to say, all except mere temporary To-
cal notes and purely ephemeral records.
This great weekly will, during all the
time of the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
ton at Chicago, be complete reflection
of that great affair. Not all can go to the
fair, but the fair can. by good description,
fine illustration, vivid writing, scientific
explanation and so on, be brought to all

complete record of the exposition and all
its activities and knowledge it will be

NThe Los Angeles Express has this on
State division and combines There has
been some talk of combine between
division1sts and those who favor removal
OF the Capital to San Jose, but the Capital
question is still in an exceedingly in
choate condition, and no one yet knows
whether it will be submitted to the peo-
pie or not. There could be no way of
binding or enforcing acompact such as has
been suggested, and if San Jose should
become the Capital it is scarcely likely
that her citizens would be disposed to
vote in favor of division of the State. The
asS laea Is purely visionary, save that for the
San Joseans it might seem a good way to
secure support in Southern California on
the Capital question. 1t may be well for
the people OF this section to bear in mind
the old story Of the monkey, the cat and
the chestnuts. So long as Southern Cali
fornia has only one-sixth of the voting
strength of the State it is foolish to make
any move for State division"

and make butter to supply the grocer:
men who can be depended upon to raise
supply OF vegetables, fruits, eggs for
market, as well as for their own home
use. Such farmers cannot only live well
themselves, but furnish and dispose of
surplus products, and thus keep in the
county money that is constantly sent
away to other localities and distant
markets of trade and supplies"
