When six years ago Joaquin Miller
went tc California and bought tract OF
land mile east Of Oakland people
laughed, writes E. W. Box. And for
number Of years the poet himself al.
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought a. that time what was
probably one Of the most unpromising
pieces Of property in California. The
tract consisted Of 100 acres, and nearly
all OF it lay on steep and stony noun
tain side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to show the hand of progress. But it
required werk Of the hardest kind. And
during all this time tile land was fast
Proving, even the peer almost believed,
the worst type Of sn elephant Now,
however, the lard is almost park Of the
most piet-resque order. Ont the poet
has planted %. 900 fruit trees, hundreds
OF olive trees, and miles OF rare roses.
Springs were introduced; trout brooks
we're stocked; walks and drives were
made. Water is plentiful on the place,
end that counts for everything on a Cali
fornian place. The poet is now, am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den
yer IN the winter, and four weeks ago
one Of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of the
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch Of his possessions
alone It is not unlikely that joaquin
Miller may soon acquire neat little in
come. His place is in the direct grow
ing fire Of 0lkland, aud the city Is
gradually approaching the poets habita-
ton. He does bat little work with the
.pen, but deyotes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation Of his place and

t. the Voters OF Waco:
1t has been impossible for me to

For many Years no one wanted the
position, and | took it as matter
Of accommoda to the city.
T lere was no compensation
tor the service rendered during
these years. aud what | did
was pursly for the pubic good,
Now that the time has come in our
history when some indirect beneht
accrues from the oilice, | do not
feel that it would be Just for you to
displace me. when, TO sag the least,
my defeat would not give a better
officer, or one more III sympathy
with the ci,y's interests. Would
it not be ust after so much
gratuioua service, to give me
the benefit that it may likely
ensure from reelection to the
office. l beg to call attention to the
fact that / have not only taken
care OF the finances of the city, bui
have helped them when they could
not help themselves nor secure hell
elsewhere in the most stringent and
trying times that Texas ever expe
rienced. ] personally endorsed the
city's paper for $40, coo ana secured
tbat amount for the city by my en-
dorsement. Time and time again
l have paid the teachers, the fire
department, the street force, aud
the police force and others when
there was not dollar of the city i
money in the treasury, every dol
lar of the amount came out of my
own pocket. Ask the people whe
has been their friend and find
whether my statements are correct
have NJ words OF disparage
ment for my opponent whom | re
gard as gocd citizsn. l submit tt
the Just minded voters of this cit,
my claims, based on what | hav
done, and upon my fidelity to tn
city's interest in the past. l trus
that you will give my candidacy
, favorable consideration when 20
come to cast your ballots on mex
Tuesday. If I am again honore
I with this position, pledge you tn
same un,iring labor and faithful sel
e vice for the sity's interests that ha
, characterized my entire term @
Off 70. can do no more than this
: and, having said this much, | re'
