England and Anarchism.
[Seattle Post Intelligencer. |

England has as much to fear from her
combustible elements as America, de-
spite the fact that her little country bris-
ties with the bayOnets of standing army,
while with an area of 100000 square
miles we have but $4,000 Federal bayo-
nets and 10000 State militia, If they were
all called out. Furthermore, the effective
ness of the militia in several States is i'm
paired by the fact that their Governors
are socialists, and ultimate anarchists.
Despite all this. our little standing army
of q, 900 men, and the loyalty of the great
mass of our people to the spirit of Amer
lean institutions is SO firm, North and
South. that Good win Smith is right when
he says that the United States has less to
fear from socialism and anarchism in the
next fifty years than Great Britain, which
in Ireland alone has a standing army of
10000 men in addition to the imperial
constabulary, well-armed and disci-
plined force of $4,000 men. Great Britain,
too, has navy so large that she can cork
up every one OF her seaports in forty
eight hours.
In spite OF all this Great Britain suffers
as much from industrial riot, from social
ism, ana anarchism as we do to-day, and /.
in the judgment of an able Englishman,
is likely to suffer more for the future, since
anarchism and socialism in Great Britain
are native plants, while in the United
States they are exotics that tits most diff
cult, If not impossible, to naturalize.

PROSPERITY IN CALIFORNIA.
How 1t IS Fostered by the Souther
Pacific Company.
From the Portland oregonian.


The New York HeraLd's reports from
California say that nearly all the people
of the State sympathlZe with the strikers
and boycotters. The present uproar i'll
California is described as "a revolt OF
nine-tenths of the people of the State
against the Southern Pacific Railroad"
The people of California are served by
but a single railroad. aud they hate it.
This is human nature, but human nature
is often inconsiderate. They are, in fact,
better served by but single railroad
than they would be by many. The ex-
actions of single railroad protect the in
dustries of California.
The consequence is that California has
good many manufactures. Here in
Oregon and Washington we have none.
The reason is that we have several rail-
roads, and the two that do the principal
part of our business are IN the hands of
receivers, and bring the products of the
East to Oregon and Washington at rates
which completely defeat all attempts to
establish home industry.
So there are two sides to this question.
California has greater prosperity than if
she had several bankrupt railroads; and
if she had several. they would all be
bankrupt, all bringing in goods from the
East for whatever they could get, and
throttling beyond hope all attempts to
establish diversified industry In the
State. But the people of California do
not see this. To them the idea would

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has ro-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for ths
purpose of promoting subdivision and settles
ment. This land embraces lands from first<
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $1O to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 12O, 16O 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 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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 fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 acre. An examination OF tne lanu
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at 81 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishments.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking ~ OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

seem subtle or sophistical, or even para
doxicai, because they have never known
the opposite conditions. So they hate the
Southern Pacific Railroad, on which all
their prosperity depends. and give sup
port to the strikers, boycotters and riot
ers who want to destroy it.
The press of California lacks intelli-
gence and courage, to set forth the con-
ditions as they are. So it labors to ex-
cite and tarre on the dog of popular dis
content and general rage. The conse-
quences are that business in California is
almost wholly suspended: that the Fed
eral Government is invoked and the State
is likely soon to be filled with Federal
troops. and that martial law exists. or is
likely soon to be proclaimed in all the
more important parts of the State.

CLEVELAND, July 26.-All the condi-

Cleveland Driving Park to-day, and the

class made the best of their opportunity.
The record of the Cleveland track was
smashed, and beside. both these events
were won in the three fastest consecutive
heats ever trotted in race. The track
was still spongy enough to be fast, and
was regarded as perfect Eight thousand
people were present.
The 2:20 pacing race was first on the
card, and while that was being disposed
of Alix, the favorite in the free-for-all,
was selling in the pools at $50 against 81
for the field. But three horses started in
the race, but for so small a field the scor-
ing was tedious. Alix went to the front
at the beginning of the first heat, and led
all the way around without break. The

Ready to Sell Lands.

Chairman Seegmiller, of the board of
commissioners to locate university
lands. returned yesterday from the
south where he has been for the pur-
pose of posting notices of sale of lands
in Piute county. The lists of the
lands which are now offered for sale
are being published and copies have
been posted in every one of the four
counties. 1t is now possible for the ac-
tual settlers upon the school lands to
make the purchase at the appraised
valuations. and in order to afford them
every opportunity the Office Of the COM
mission will be kept open from now to
the expiration Of the advertising per-
iods. The rush will be very heavy, if
indications are anything to go by.

The latter have no reason to fear an

Of the Australian f1ocks have been

not reduced the price very materially.
In the letter came some samples of
the several grades of wool raised in
the province. and they are pronounced
by experts to be no better than the
Utah woods. The advantage Australia
has over the United States in the wool
industry is her great numbers of pure
breed sheep. This gives a greater pro-
duct and better all around staple.

Returns From Bingham Expected
Early in the Coming Week.
1t will be another week at least be-
fore the Bullion-Beck people receive
the returns from the test of 100 tons of
ore to be sent to the lead mill at Bing-
ham for the purpose of determining
upon the process best suited to the
treatment of the ores taken out of the
company's mines. The ore is now be-
ing sampled at one of the samplers
south of the city, but probably by to-
day or tomorrow the reshipment will
be made. Three days are necessary to
place the ore in the bins of the lead
mill and one or two more days in the
treatment of the rock. Just as soon
as the results of the tests are received
ii is the intention of the company to
proceed with the construction of
mill of 200 tons capacity. Since the
opening of the mine the low grade ores
have been thrown upon the dumps and
there are now about 10000 tons of the
rock ready for treatment in the mill.
1t is being added to at the rate of 1000
tons monthly. 1t is for the purpose of
utilizing this ore that the mill is to be
constructed.
The output of the mine is now on an
average of sixty tons daily, with the
character of the rock becoming better
almost constantly. Messrs. Beck, Bam-
