whereas vessels drawing close on to eighteen
feet can cross the bar now at low water.

option TO purchase the. supply whenever
it wishes, or continue to buy the water
and retail it to the people.
These propositions have been outlined
in proposed ordinance prepared by
members of citizens committee that has
given the subjects great deal of attention.
The propositions DO not relate to any pet
source Of supply; they leave the city
open to receive bids for subterranean or
mountain supply, and free to make the
best bargain it can with either of the four
or five combinations of capital standing
ready to bid.
There is, therefore, not a great deal to
talk about tonight. We need new sys-
tenn; it can be had-these are facts about
which there should be no dispute. All
that really remains to consider is, does
the proposed ordinance cover the ground
properly? That being determined the
meeting should advise the Trustees to
receive bids. and urge them to accept
some one of them very soon, before an
other month swings into the procession
Of the past.

The methods of the agitator Wiley of
San Francisco. backed by Fry, his Secre-
tary, to raise the wind by appeals to the
East for the unemployed of the metrop-
oils, have been checked by Mayor Ellert
of the city. The means employed by
Wiley are very suspicious. Even if it
were true that there are ten thousand. or
one thousand unemployed workers in
san Francisco, willing TO labor, the APP
peal of Wiley, if it brings money, will
leave him free to do with it as ne pleases.
There is no check provided by his
scheme; no provision made for an ac-
counting; nothing, indeed, to stop him
from such disbursement of contributions
as may be prompted by his greed or bad
judgment. The appeal sent out by Wiley
is bad for the State; it does not represent
honest labor; it has not the sanction of
organized labor; it is not indorsed by a
single responsible person. While it is
with the greatest difficulty that men can
be secured to work in field or railway
construction, Wiley sets up the plea that
thousands of men willing and able to
work are starving in San Francisco.
While Oregon and the Northwest clamor
for men to work in the timber fields and
the clearing of lands comes to q stop for
lack of willing laborers, Wiley and his
gang send abroad the most exaggerated
and pitiful pleas for money to support
unemployed men in San Francisco. That
city, whatever its faults, has not been
chargeable with uncharitableness nor fail
ure to fairly provide for the really sober
needy IN its bounds. The act of the Mayor
Of the metropolis in bringing Wiley up
with round turn, is praiseworthy. The
agitator is not representative; he is not
himself worker; he is not commissioned
by any respectable body of workers;
labor worthy Of consideration does not
hold itself responsible for him. Organ
lied labor in its own interest and the
interest of the State should publicly de-
nounce and repudiate the fellow.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural A Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land In the heart Of Teha1na County for tho
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per scre in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 16o and 500 acres
The terms upon which these lands are ofHarad
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay-
ment of interest only for three years, a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal ans.
nual installments. Thus no part of the prtn-
cipsl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which To
pay five equal annual installments. with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum.
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
cured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE.
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit growing, cannot be-
bad in California for less than from SEQ to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land al SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers a result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlenent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligsnt husbandry.

with the RECoRD-UNIoN upon the sub
ject of the drift of women into business.
They, too, hold that marriage and
motherhood are falling into disuse among
wage-earners, as result of the drift; that
for the normal woman the home life is
easiest and best, and for the good Of the
race ought to be fostered more and more;
That as woman becomes unwomanly men
less seek her for wife; that since woman's
highest office in life is motherhood, what
ever tends to unfit her for it is bad for
society that the girl in domestic service
occupies higher plane, one more valu-
able to society, than the girl in the shop,
soliciting as drummer, or engaged in
cold, hard and callousing commercial
pursuits; that there is occupation in
plenty for women suited to them, with
out their crowding out the natural care
taker and home-builder and underwriting
his wage; that, finally, the drift of young
women into business is destroying their
fitness for the home, exposing them to
temptations to which the many yield, and
is destructive of chivalry and gallantry
among men towards women.
The Mail should not do itself the inius-
tice of manifesting inability to grasp a
subject and handle it with becoming dig

motives to those who take positive posi-
ton upon great social questions that may
happen to be opposed to the views of the
Mail
