The ablest paper of the session was pre-
sented by S. S. Boynton of the Oroville
Register. 1t was admirable in style and
strength of composition, showing that the
writer had ideas and also the newspaper
sense of bzevity.
''We are here" he said, ''to protect each

situation, to build up our respective papers,
to increase their circulation and to extend
their influence. We have many Interests

that has been going on all these years and
must be guarded and protected; we must have
the small independent farmer. The great
ranches must go. The robbery of the soil must
stop, and in its stead must come its replenish-
ment. The water must be put upon the land,
and, when put upon it, it must be the province
of the press to see to 1t that that water be-
longs to the land; see to it that no man shall
have it in his power to take the profits of agri-
culture to pay for water he shall claim as his.
We must encourage manufacture, and es-
pecially that kind of manufacture that will use

OF the past must not discourage US. but rather
let US view those years as an incentive to
meeting an era from which to date the onward
march of prosperity through the length and

pated actively in the discussion.
The generous hospitality of the citizens
of Marysvjlle was the universal topic of
comment among the editors to-day. The
welcome was not expressed in professions
heralded by brass bands, nor IN arches and
elaborate street decorations; yet in the
hall where the business was transacted
social greeting followed flowers. flags and
evergreens deli GIFTED the vision. The sim
cerity of the welcome was attested by ex-
amples of individual kindness from all the
people of the city-the merchants, profes-
sional men and the ladies.
The spirit of enterprise is active in
Marysville. AS an illustration of the won
derful vitality of the place the simple fact
may be cited that the property-owners
have been taxed as high as per cent per
annum on their holdings, yet their faith in
the city as a business center has never
weakened, and the fact is now cited that
the $4,000 of per cent bonds recently
voted to improve municipal drainage sold
at par. Unbounded confidence in the
future greatness of Marysville prevails.
The place for the next semi-annual meet
ing of the Sacramento Valley editors will
be designated in due time by the executive
committee of the league.

BACK FROM BER|NG SEA.
Patrol of the American Fleet
In the Sealing Waters
Ended.
Stories OF IndiscrIminate Killing by
British Crews Classed as
Canards.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. s.
The United States revenue cutter steamer
U. S. Grant, returning from the north,
where the feet has been maintaining a
patrol against the ravages of pelagic seal
ers. arrived in port this evening from
Whatcom, at which place she stopped to
replenish her coal supply, which had be-
come entirely depleted on the long run
down the inside passage. This route, while
protected from the severity of the ocean
storms, is particularly dangerous, even to
an experienced pilot, and to avoid against
all possible accidents, the feet came under
half-steam in the daytime and anchored
at night. The vessels which came to What
com were the Grant. Rush, Perry and Cor
win. in the, order named, only the first
having pilot.
Officers of the Grant aver that the patrol
just ended has been the most careful ever
made, not a single locality escaping the
vigilance of the vessels under Commander
Hooper's direction. To this fact is as
cribed the few seizures that were made.
Every vessel of the sealing fleet was
boarded one or more times, and the laws
governing their actions explicitly told.
This left no excuse for violation, and those
who did break the laws were promptly
seized
The Grants officers denounce the stories
about indiscriminate shooting of seals by
British schooner crews as a tissue of false
hood without single fact for origin, and
say that the ill luck which pursued some
of the vessels was due. at least in part, to
the laziness of the hunters.
The Perry, now at Whatcom, will not

how prosperity and success in all lines havefol-
lowed these, will we not go home and labor
with untiring zeal to see the great land hold
ings of this valley subdivided? And shall we
not strive to impress our citizens with the idea
that force, energy and concentration of effort
as exemplifed in Sutter County will every
where command success and prosperity?
We are here to-day to know something of
Marysville and of people who prosper under
taxes that many of us would deem ruinous

wine, yet in this single valley can we surpass
them all. Mark that wonderful variety of
Italy's products Sugar-cane and cotton, null
berries and silk, oranges and lemons, figs and
chestnuts. Search every dell and dale and
valley, hunt over mountain and along the sea-
coast of that rich and prolific country, yet we
can match the boundless wealth of cereal and
fruit and vegetable products of all Italy within
the province of our league.
To.accompllsh our objects we must combine
our efforts, for as application and perseverance
are the secrets of success among individuals SO
combination and thorough organization will
enable the most discordant forces to win vic
tory over all opposition.
He cited some of the greatest achieve
ments recorded in history as examples of
what thorough organization had accom-
plished, and mentioned that in life the
man who won concentrated his efforts
upon single purpose; the man who failed
scattered his efforts over wide field.
]. A. Woodson of the Sacramento Rec
ord Union read a paper. He consented to
comply with the request of the executive
committee at late hour, and therefore
did not depart from the suggestions en-
bodied in the resolutions of that commit
tee, He took position against large hold
ings of land, and vigorously advocated
the improvement of public highways.
Mr.sWoodson regarded with great appre-
hension the drift of population to cities.
He produced statistics representing that
20 per cent of California's population was
urban. He regarded this inclination OF
people to dwell in cities as serious men
ace to the building of the State.
Will S. Green of the Colusa Sun spoke
Of his long residence in the Sacramento
Valley and the editorship of one paper for
thirty-two years. The grandeur of the
valley as he first saw it was dwelt upon
and the poor use that had been made of
natures prodigality was recognized. He

STOPPED BY A BULLET.
A Futile Dash for Liberty
When His Pursuers Came
Upon Him.
RAN THOUGH BADLY WOUNDED.
The Outlaw VIII Be Taken Back to
His Cell In Eureka's
Jail.

CAHTO, CAL, Oct. SC. A. Russell,
alias George Ferrin, alias Charles Moran,
the bicycle thief and jail-breaker, who es-
capped from the County Jail at Eureka on
the morning of August 81 with fifteen
round Oregon boot on his leg, was cap
tured near here this afternoon.
After his escape, nothing was seen of
Russell until last Sunday. He entered the
house of ]. F. Cummings, station-keeper
on the Hum boldt road, fifteen miles north
of here, at an early hour and stole provis-
ions and cartridges. When the occupants
of the house arose and discovered the theft,
two men tracked the thief about two miles
south of there, and came upon him sud-
denly where he was camped. Russell
raised his Winchester, and advised them
to keep away and return home. They
withdrew and notified Constable Rufus
Wilson.
Constable Wilson to-day discovered
fresh tracks where Russell had passed
through this town at an early hour this
morning, and Immediately started with
Constable Grubb and two deputies on the
trail, following it to point FIVE miles
south of here, on. the road leading 10
Ukiah. About 200 yards from the road,
in a deep. canyon, they suddenly came
upon Russell, who was skinning deer he
had just killed. Russell grabbed his rife
and bundle and started to run. He was
ordered to halt, but did not stop. One of
the deputies fired a shot into the air. but
the fugitive disregarded the hint. After
firing three shots to intimidate him, with
out avail, fourth bullet was planted be-
tween the runners shoulders near the left
shoulder blade, the bullet ranging upward
and lodging above the left nipple. Though
badly wounded, Russell ran for some dis
tance, but finally threw up his hands and
surrendered.
Russelps wound is not thought to be
fatal, though it is dangerous one. He
was brought to Cahto to-day. Sheriff
Brown of Humboldt County has been
notified and the prisoner will be held here
pending the arrival of a Deputy Sheriff
from Eureka to take him back to the
prison from which he escaped.

MERGED, CAL, Oct 8.-Colonel Fuller,
Paris Kilburn and Judge McGee, the Bank
Commissioners, were served with war;
rant of arres to-day, the document being
sworn to by Attorney V. G. Frost, and
issued from the court of Justice Read of

true condition of the Merced Bank at the
examination made by them soon after its
suspension of business in October, 1894.
The trio were released upon their own
recognizance, and given twenty days to
appear. Another warrant has been sworn

but will proceed direct to San Francisco,
orders to that effect having awaited her at
Whatcom, portending that she and not
the Grant will be detailed on the San
Diego station. Both the Corwin and the
flagship Rush will come here and pay off
crews before proceeding to the Mare
Island Nayy-yard to lie up for the
winter.
The health of the crews this season has
been particularly good. owing to the fur
nlshing of each vessel with fresh meat and
vegetables twice month, as they called
on the headquarters at Unalaska for or
ders. The prices of these priced supplies
have been very high, but the total does
not reach the medicine expense bill OF
last year, when some of the fleet went for
months without fre sh food.

mento Valley urged his fellow delegates
to join in formulating plans of action and
to stand together in sustaining the organ
lied plans. The large accession to the
mbership of the league, the promptness
with which the new members paid the
initiation fee, the earnest spirit manifested
in the discussions, the determination of
the convention to complete the work of
organization before participating in the
pleasure which Marysviile had provided
for her guests, gave ample proof that the
newspaper men were in session for busi-
ness as the first proposition and festivity

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. s.-The Indians
in various parts of Wallowa promise to
create no little trouble before the winter is
well advanced. They have been paid a
large sum of money which they are spend
ing very freely for liquor. A letter received
here to-day from that quarter says:
'The Indian scare on Prairie Creek may
possibly develop into serious trouble.
Should it do so the blame will be with those
who are selling whisky to the Indians. II
any one is laboring under the delusion
that there is no violation of the law in do
ing so they are mistaken. Even if Judge
Belinger's decision permits it under the
United States law the State law absolutely
prohibits it. We are informed only by
rumor who the parties are, and while the
business is no doubt a paying one it may
prove to be dangerous one.'
