spondents:
Edgar L. Wakeman has been.termed
''the second Dickens" and his highly in
teresting letters from Europe prove the
truth OF the designation. Every lover of
the English language undetled and
graphic descriptions of persons and
places in the old country. cannot fail to
read his missives with admiration and
absorbing interest. His knowledge of
the Romany people, or gypsies, is not
equaled by any other writer for the
press. The byways of London and
suburbs, and the romantic highways and
country places OF England are familiar
objects to him. With the Imagination of
Dickens, as he has the descriptive power,
the literary world would confidently ex-
pect a series of romances on the order of
"Old Curiosity Shop" Nicholas Nick
elby," "Dombey and Son." "Our Mutual
Friend" "Bleak House," 'Pickwick."

Employ White Men,

EDS. RECoRD-UEIoN There are several
fruit orchards and vineyards that still
employ Chinese around Davisville, not
withstanding the fact that there are many
idle white men in the country that will
work as cheap as any Chinaman. The
excuse that the Superintendent of the
Oak Shade makes is that they haven't got
the accommodations for white labor. The
result is that white men have to go I'M
employed because it would be little
trouble for the orchard men to board
them. 1 think that it is pity that there
is no clause in the Geary Act to deport
such men as this along with the Chinese
They are really more of drawback to
the country than the Cinnamon are. If
they would not hire the Chinese they
would soon leave the country without it
costing Uncle Sam anything for deport-
ing them.
There is not much work in the country
now, and what there is should be given
to white labor. The winter is coming on
and the chances are that it will be hard
on the labOring man and verybody else,
and we should keep the money among
ourselves, and not pay it out to the

A Possibility That the Railroad Shops
VIII Soon Run on Full Time.
1t was rumored around town on Satur-
day that it had been determined to start
in on the first of the month and run the
railroad shops on full time in all the de-
partments-that is, six days in the week.
Inquiry yesterday developed the fact that
this welcome news is only partially true,
and that though an effort is being made
to so arrange matters it is not yet settled.
Ii. J. Small, superintendent of Motive
Power and Machinery, has gone south on
tour of inspection with the officers of
the road, and will return the middle or
latter part of the week, when the course
of action will be definitely determined
upon. 1t is said, however. that the
foundry department, having just received
a large order which will require all the
hands to turn it out, will probably run
all this week in order to complete it.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
pIrpose 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 $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal 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 z per cent. per annun,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO 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-
pecialiy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers 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
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Federation Hall yesterday afternoon.
The attendance was fairly good.
The Union listened to an oral report
presented by committee Of the Fedora
ted Trades, who urged the assistance of
the printers and all trades unions to
make the coming Labor Day exercises
which will consist Of a picnic, literary
features and grand ball in the evening
"a social as well as a financial success.
The Union accepted 100 tickets, with the
object in view of disposing of them
among their follower craftsmen.
Among the numerous communications
read there were few that received the
hearty Endorsement Of the Union, such as
Government control OF all the telegraph
lines to be operated in conjunction with
the postal system; also, that the work on
the proposed Government Printing Office
at Washington should be under the
supervision OF the supervising architect,
and the same TO be constructed on time
work, instead of the usual contract sys-
tenn.
a. D. Martin, who was recently sent to
the CHILDISH reXel Home for Printers, at
Colorado Springs, Col, forwarded
lengthy communication to the Union
here expressing his appreciation and
thanks
An official circular was ordered issued
to be sent abroad, notifying sister Unions
Is to the state of trade here. The suspen-
sion Of the NeWS and the large draft of
men at the State Printing Office necessi-
tated this procedure.
The usual communications on the sill
yer question and the enforcement of the
Chinese deportation law received some
attention.

The following preamble and resolution,
introduced by e. NJ. Harrison, was unani-
mously Endorsed
WHEREAS, At 1915 o'clock this morn
ing Sunday a most terrible outrage was
perpetrated in San Francisco in the
blowing up Of nOn-union sailors board
ing-house with a dynamite bomb; and
whereas, under the bitter antagonism ex-
listing between the non-union and union
Sailors it may be claimed by those op-
posed to organized labor that this diaboli-
cal affair is the outgrOWth of the under
lying spirit Of uniOnism; therefore be it
ResOtCed, That we most emphatically
oenounce said inhuman conduct, and
hope that whoever participated in its per-
petratiOn, or connived at it in any way,
will receive the severest penalty that can
be imposed upon them by law.

How Sacramento Appears to Visitors
OF the Present Day.
Mr.. Lang. the turf editor of the Breeder
md Sportsman, who Represented that
paper here during the State Fair, thus
wrote of Sacramento and her surround
ings:
1.-THE weather was delightful, the sun
shOne warm, ana everyone was dressed
in light, airy costumes, In keeping with
the warmth of the day and place. Far
away to the east could be seen the snow
capped peaks the Sierra Nevadas, their
whitened crowns piercing the skies and
seeming to hold in check the coming of
the cyclones, thunder-Storms and biz
yards that are devastating the great plains
on the other side. Around the course are
fields of evergreen alfalfa, rye grass. corn
and wheat. The harvest is over, and
great stacks of golden grain gladden. the
eye of the farmer. The orchards have
borne wonderful crops, and trainloads of
grain are seen moving with lightning
rapidity along the northerly line OF the
race course on their way to the Eastern
market.
Sacramento itself has undergone
thorough renovation, something it has
been in sore need of for many years. The
principal streets are traversed by cleo
IrlcdI cars which convey passengers lar
out on the suburbs; the old streets are
being torn up and the bituminous pave
ment laid on concrete foundations viii
make this city second to no other.
The great bug-a-boO about moving the
Capital to San Jose had a tendency to
awaken the sleepy Sacramentans, and as
they contemplate the stability and beauty
of the improvements they are paying for,
they are glad to know that when the next
attempt to move their great magnet is
made they can refer with pride TO the
beauty of the streets and the spirit of en-
terprise that is not dormant, but lives,
yes, lives, to make the people axe more
pride in their city than they ever did
