sand other competitions for place, power or
commercial or industrial advantage, and 1t is
by virtue of this competition that America ana
England are leading the world. Rlvairy may
be bitter and unpityingly strenuous, but II mes

The public schools might with advantage
introduce manual training, and drop some OF

growing West for men who are thorough mas

1t is idle for California ranchers to quarrel
with existing conditions under which they can

but will cost less than waiting for change OF
condition-Stockton Independent

The United States, and especially the West
ern States, needs population, therefore the
immigration of a good class of Europeans
should be promoted and encouraged rather
than be restricted. California furnishes
splendid example OF what can be accomplished

orchards, its vineyards, its grain and dairy
farms, which constitute the principal re-
sources of this State, are for more than one
half owned, controlled and worked by
foreigners who landed here q few years
ago without means, but who have now con-
verted o very large tract of our virgin soil
into veritable Eden, have built fine resi-
dences, have raised nice families, thus adding
