Truckee Republican If Joaquin Mil
ler's story of an interview with Chris
Evans Is not fake" there is something
anomalous in the attitude of the people
OF that section toward these outlaws
Callfornians sympathiZe very strongly
with an oppressed fellow being, but peo-
pie should not permit themselves to be
betrayed into sympathy where none is
deserved. A very pitiful picture is
drawn of Evans family, but let it not be
forgotten that some of his victims have
families whose firesides are desolate to-
day on account of the desperate deeds Of
these men. There is scarcely sufficient
evidence in the tale to convince one of
the innocence of Evans and Sontag.
Guilty or innocent every day that they
are at large adds to the odium which at
taches to California on their account.
Woodland Democrat: Sacramento is
now comforting herself with the reflec-
ton that San Jose cannot raise the
81, 100000 bonus necessary to be pledged
in the event the people vote to remove
the State Capital. Ii the people become
deluded with such an idea there is danger
that they will relax their efforts to defeat
tie removal scheme. Unless the pro ect
is killed by the courts, Sacramento has a
hard fight before her. The money Will
be raised without much doubt. Sacra-
mento's greatest danger lies in the fact
laborers and mechanics that the removal
will insure employment and flush times
for a great many laborers, and for a long
time.
Alameda E1lcjna{: ALAS, poor Yorick
we knew him we'll, Horatio" Edwin
Booth, the eminent tragedian, is dead.
After LIES titful fever he sleeps we'll"
Peace to his ashes. In the early years of
his professional Lille we were Familiarity
acquainted with Edwin (Ted) Booth-so
familiar, indeed, as to say to him on his
inst departure from this coast, "Remem-
Der, led, that you are not finished actor.
Iou have yet much to learn" For
which, with an ardent squeeze Of our
hand, he thanked US, remarking, Il shall
never forget your parting words" and
we believe he never did; for from that
time forward every step OF his stage life
was onward and upward, until he finally
reached the goal Of his ambition, the top
most rung Of the ladder OF fame.
Palermo Progress: There is no doubt
but there is such thing as too much ir-
rigation but there probably has never
been case of it here in Palermo. The
tendency of all, especially inexperienced
orchardists, is to wait till the trees need
water before applying it. By so doing
the trees exhaust what available moisture
there is in the soil to take up into circula-
ton through The medium of the sap and
are lett with SOIL perhaps moist but with
so little moisture that the roots cannot
extract any more tor the tree. AS re-
suit the tree thinking las trees think of
course) that the end of the growing sea-
son has come, 1t at once prepares for a
dormant period by developing the buds
for the next new growth, and then hard
ening up the new growth by depositing
those food substances which are in solu-
ton in the sap and making hard wood
tissues. After the process has gone on if
by any reason wateris furnished in album
dance in the soil the roots take 1t up.
the sap circulates more food, these dor
nant buds start into life and the new
growth begins again, but to accomplish
all this time is necessary and while in
exceptional cases the new growth may
begin in q week, as a rule not less
than two weeks will be consumed in
making ready for visible growth. Thus
it is evident that whenever the soil of the
orchard becomes so dry that the tree no
longer grows. a loss of about two weeks
of valuable growing time has occurred,
and the horticulturist who is wise will
