TALK rs CHEAP.

Last week we printed COM
munication from 200 bbl. Wild
ner. He has also written to Sam
Goldstone, assuring him that
the mill would be completed and
running by Jan. /. Mr.. Wild
ner will not down, but bobs UP
serenely with more soft soap to
suit the occasion. In his letter
to us he gays "a matter Of great
importance to lis occurred dur
ing the same week, and Of which
| then had no knowledge, which
prevented our commencement of
work as stated" Well bet ten
cents any man in Cottonwood
can guess what this IMPORTANT
MATTER was, the first time. Last
Spring, while the windy promot-
er of colossal enterprises was
softly pouring his $4,000 re-
hearsal, into victimized ears,
Mr.. Rhoads wrote to foundry,
in st. Louis, for their prices on
the machinery for a mill of 200
bbl. a day capacity. Instead Of
costing $4,000, as the oleaginous
Widner would fain make us be-
lieve, the price quoted was
$11 ,760 delivered on board the
cars. A little arithmetic will
approximate, for any one, the
cost of such a mill ready for
business,
Brother Windy (Widner) is
advised to wipe off his chin and
ponder over the wisdom contain
ed in the following:
cts not sign a mans a horse
Tho, he's born in stable;
Nor is it, when his clothes
look coarse
There's nothing on his table;
It's not sign barking dog
A bitter is, or may be,
Cause talk is cheap, but that
wont keep
A wife and nineteen babies"

We sit in our den at midnight,
when the clock is ticking away,
and we think Of the cash subscri-
bers who have wandered in today.
We ponder for all the good things
dollar'n a quarter will buy,
and the Joy which the thought
brings to US gashes forth from
our pale blue. How often oh,
how often, in the days thatare to
come; no we wish the cash sub
scriber w6uld hustle themselves
and come. How often, oh, how
often, as the days 90 moseying
past, we would long, if longing
would help it, this cash down
business would last. But, alas!
our heart is weary, likewise our
pale blue eyes, for a few and far
between meals, cciyne to us such
glad surprise. Yet we sit in
our den at midnight, and scratch
with steady pen, and long for
each cash B'u4tscriber to wander

by like ambition. So it happens that
from the general proposition new issue
mas been evolved, and northern San Diego
IS now divided against itself. Whether
the proyerbial result shall follow this di-
vision OF opinion and interest it remains
to be seen.
The section Of which San Jacinto as
pres TO become county seat is bounded
by line commencing at a point on the
second standard south of San Bernardino
meridian and crossing the southwest
boundary of Orange County; then run
nlng IN westerly direction along the
present boundary of San Diego County
10 the intersection Of the first standard
south; thence running TO the southwest
corner OF section 81, township 2 south,
range 4 west; thence northeast to the
southwest corner of section IA of said
township; thence east to the southwest
corner of section Is, township 2 south,
range west; thence southerly to the
southeast corner of township south,
range east, San Bernardino meridian;
thence to the Colorado River; thence
down said Colorado River to the inter-
section of said standard south; thence
west along said standard to place OF be-
ginning.
The Perris proposition is to include all
territory within the boundaries as given
above, together with the towns of Ales-
sandro, Beaumont and Banning, with
PERKS as the county seat.
A third proposition is in the interest of
Riverside and contiguous territory. This
measure is broader in its scope than
either Of those mentioned, including a
much larger and more valuable area, ap-
peanng to greater number of people
and presenting greater number OF rea-
sons for the desired separation.
Judging from the situation at present
1t Is more than probable that when the
question comes to a final test the three
propositions will gracefully merge into
one, and that the dividing house will
rally as unit in supporting the River
side Dill as measure promising all the
advantage that could be derived from the
SUBDIVISIONS as now promised. This
seems to be the programme.
San Jacinto will fight Perris to the bit
ter end, and Perris is equally antago-
nistic to the San Jacinto scheme. Both
VIII favor Riverside rather than see
county division defeated all around,
~ leading citizen of Elsinore, who. by
reason of his location, would naturally
favor either the Ferris or San Jaclnto
measures, did either possess the merits Of
the broad-gauge proposition, some time
ago In an open letter thus gave expression
on the question of division, which prob
ably echoes the sentiment of large num-
Der OF people in Northern San Diego.
After thorough review of the situation,
showing the great disadvantage under
which the section labors in the matter Of
taxation and the transaction of county
business, the letter concludes as follows:
Il believe it to be the very best interest
OF every taxpayer in this end of the
county to work earnestly for the forma-
ton of Riverside County, provided, of
course, that this end Of San Diego is to be
included in it. By joining Riverside we
will belong to county whose reputation
will be worldwide, a county we will
have no occasion to be ashamed of. We

satisfaction.
Fortunately, there was not an accident

be, however, the players Of the AMIGO

the personal prosperity of few fortunate
individuals.
In April last the citizens voted for a
second time on the matter and second
time defeated it. Then it was that the
astute county fathers got angry and
registered VOW that San Bernardino
should have a Courthouse whether il
wanted one or not, and that the voice of a
majority of her citizens should be smotb-
cred under the cloak Of personal aggran-
basement. Accordingly another heavy
increase in the tax levy was made. an
other 100000 raised, and the work con
unued. This structure, if the elaborate
plans now laid out are followed, will cost
not less than $500, 900. 1t will he a mac
ncent building, of which any CITY in Cal
ltornia might feel proud-a prospective
present to the town of San Bernardino

tons OF the county.
The situation of Oranpe Cornt,,

become OF late tavorite and Differentiated
argument with the anti-divisiOn 0rgang
OF the south. With such persistence have
these statements been iterated and reit-
Grated since the proposed discussion as
Sumed definite shape that many who
nave peen unable TO make personal in
Vestlgatlon really believe that ORANGE
county Is houndering about in the role of
a prodigal, who feign would rest aoain
under the protecting arm of inperiaI rs
Angeles. There is not word Of truth in
the statement that Orange County is nm
prosperous or that her people murnur
because Of the Act that took them from
the parent organization, and if facts are
to count for anything the history of
Orange County since its separation is the
very strongest argument that can be ad-
duced for county division in the present
controversy. The Orange County bill
passed the Legislature and was approved
by the Governor March IS, 1890. Imme-
diately the tax rate was lowered. This
year s, 900 jail was erected at the county
seat and the sum of Sl7, 0lS 46 paid over to
Los Angeles as a portion of the Joint
county debt due at the time of separation.
The pay OF the various officials have been
substantially increased, and Orange
County Is without debt with $50, 900 in
the treasury. She has assessable property
to the value of S10,0OO,00O, a bright out
look for the future and no desire to re-
turn to the old condition of affairs. So it
IS, and II Riverside seeks to follow the
example of her sister county, who with
any sense ofjustice shall say nay?

PLAYED IN TEE MUD.
An Interesting Game Of Football at
Snowflake Park.
The High School Kickers Defeated by
the Amicos-Good Material for
Football Teams.

The first exhibition game of football
that has been played in this city since the
craze died out many years ago, took place
yesterday afternoon at Snowflake Park,
and despite the foggy and disagreeable
weather. there were nearly four hundred
spectators in attendance. About one
fourth of the number were ladies, and
they all wore ribbons of blue or yellow.
Those who favored the High School team
wore the yellow, and those whose hopes
were on the other side wore the sky-blue
ribbons.
The latter color predominated, and the
result of the game made the wearers
jubilant. The opponents of the High
School team have not yet selected name,
but they were designated as the
"Amicos," nearly all the members being
connected with the well-known social
club of that name in this city.
The exhibition was an excellent one
and the comments passed by several foot
ball experts who went out to see the con-
test, were quite fattering to the young
men who took part. Newt Wachhorst.
the weIl-known player of the Berkeley
team, acted as referee during the game.
and he stated at its conclusion that the
science displayed by both teams rather
surprised him.
1t could readily be seen, before the
game had progressed far, that the AMIGO
boys had the better team. Their code of
signals had been learned by heart and
their work was more systematic The
High School eleven were plucky lot and
some very fine individual plays were
made, but they seldom had possession of
the ball and very rarely gained ground
except by punt. The rush line of the
AMIGO team was sthe more powerful of
the two, and in the wedge plays they
were always certain of making a gain.
Birdsall of the High School eleven and
Merkley of the AMIGOS were the center
rushers, and both played their positions
well. The latter proved to be an expert at
Swapping the ball back, and as leading
man in the wedge everything in front
had to give way.
There was hard, earnest playing by
everyone, and though the work of the
rush-line players was not as snowy as
that ofthe "half-backs'' and 'full-backs,"
it was nevertheless very creditable.
Al Trainor played quarterback for the
AMIGOS, and VIII Flint and VIII Schaw
were the ." half-backs." One or the
other of the latter two generally did the
running with the ball and were ALWAYS
the men first foored in the scrimmages.
The half-backs of the High School
eleven were engaged almost continually
in tackling, and they did some very neat
work.

some of the richest mining territory in
the State. Of the remaining 5000 square
miles which, since the division question
arose, the San Bernardino people called a
desert" a large portion can be made
productive through irrigation by reser-
volrs, and also by utilizing the waters OF
the Colorado and Mojave Rivers. This
so-called "desertn has already an assessed
valuation of nearly s., 600, 600.
So it will be seen that there are little
reasons for the complaint that San Ber-
nardino will be financially crippled by
division.
In 1880, with an assessed valuation of
only -, SIC, 927 and tax rate of 81 So per

have only four Of greater area. Only

valuation and twenty-nine have less. AS
a matter of fact the only strenuous oppO-
sltion to the conSummation of this county
division proposition, which was actually
forced upon Riverside and tributary ter
ritory by unjust discrimination in as
sessed valuation, and a cut-throat policy
in general, comes from q political clique
in San Bernardino, which has long ma
nipulated county affairs from mercenary
motives alone. 1t would be easy to fill
columns with these palpable violations
of the will of the people, but one example
will suffice to show that the grievances of
the citizens now asking separation are
not imaginary ones.
In April, 1891. the Board of Superyis-
ors called a county election on PROPOSE
ton TO issue bonds in the amount of
S350,O00 for the purpose of building
Courthouse, which was promptly de-
feated by heavy majority. Notwith-
standing this fact, and in direct opposi-
ton to the expressed will of the people, a
substantial increase was ordered on the
direct tax, 100000 raised, the contracts
let and work on the new Courthouse
! commenced. 1t subsequently became
generally known that architects were at
work on the plans tor the new building
three months before the election was
called-a piece of political trickery that
| has proved a potent factor in winning
| sympathizers for the divisions. The
| legality of their action being called to
| question and the protests getting more
numerous and severe, the Supervisors
decided to call another election. In this
contest money was freely used, and the
influence of a powerful political ring

Bernardino the most costly Courthouse
in Southern California, and rebound to
