four men charged with murder With
such an outrage TO refer 10 thore is no

States as examples OF barbarism. The
courts are certainly not SO corrupt in any

DRESS REFORM,
Modesto News.
Elderly people may just as well make
up their minds to the fact that dress re-
form has come TO stay. The reform, how
ever. may not go the extent OF conform
ing itself to particular style in dressing.
| There viii, in all lik eiihood, simply be
greater latitude given wearers. People
will very likely in the near future wear
the style OF clothing suiting their own
convenience, conditions and tastes. 1t is
not lmpro bable that within less than ten
years the bloOmer, or perhaps some still
more convenient costume, will attract as
Iiltle attention on the public streets, or
tor that matter IN parlors, as do the most
graceful and becoming skirts of to-day.
our people are fast becoming more cos

THE STATE LINE SURVEY.
Inyo Register
A. W, Cuddeback, who is connected
with the coast survey party now at work

toward the end of last week. From him
we obtain the following details OF interest
concerning the work being done: The
survey party consists of twelve men, VINO
have with them twenty-siX head OF ami
mails, the expedition being in charge of
c. II. Sinclair. The party works III sub
divisions OF four men each. one of these
being led by Mr.. Sinclair, another by w.
Is. Fairfield, and the third by y. l.. Bald
win; the three named are from Washing
ton. st present the parties are all to-
gether, at Piper's upper ranch in Fish
Lake Valley, but will at once move on
toward the Colorado River. They Will
cover about i0J miles this season, and
will not then resume work until late next
summer, so as To get down in tie hottest
desert toward winter. The distance now
surveyed from Tahoe is about I56 miles.
While California gains some territory at
the upper end of the line, more than as
much viii be lost further south. Ihe
new line will be ABOUT one-third of mile
east OF the old one at Lake Tahoe; will
cross ii near SweetWater, in Esmeraida
County, and directly east of here will be
half a mile west of the former stakes.
This Will put the camp of SyIvania en-
tirely in Nevada, instead of partly In one
State and partly in the other, as 1t has
heretofore been supposed TO be- The
present survey may De termed prellml-
nary, as any errors will Do corrected
when the monuments are set, and the line
bc considered established only when ac-
cepted by California and Nevada. The
line is now marked by holes drilled an
inch or two into rocks in place, at the eX-
act point fixed by the party.

NOT CORRECT POLICY.

Zone of the funniest things that could
happen in this state would be a meeting
OF real estate agents trying to sell land to
home-seekers where farmers and Assess
ors were telling The State Board of Equal
| izatIon why there was a falling of in tax
values this year"
The foregoing. taken from the Oroyille
Register. presents for consideration a
matter OF far greater importance than it
appears 10 be. The statements made be-
lore the State Board of EQUALIZATION
places land in the counties OF Sutter and
Iuba uudor cloud. And il Will take a
great amount OF advertising 10 regain the
confidence of home-seekers who read
these stories. The land in these counties
is the best in the State, having continu-
ously produced valuable crops OF grain
and fruit every season during more than
twenty years. And this has been accom-
plished without irrigation or the expense
! of applying fertiiizlng ingredients, as is
! the case in many places. The history of
| majority OF the farms during twenty
/ years will prove couclusively that it is
! not the fault of the land that the produc-
! ton has not paid the farmer and fruit
grower during this time. But we con-
] tend that there has been profit, and in
many Instances the owners have become
| quite wealthy during these years.
Many of the farmers shaye accumulated
wealth and have bought more land. while
others have invested in other business,
! including loaning money. These storle 8
are libel on The lair name OF the coun-
| ties and should not be permitted TO 60
unchal llenged, because they are not true.
! Point out the farm that has not produced
! a fair crop and we agree to prove that the
! fault is not in the SOIL Make public the
names of the men who declare that they
/ cannot make sufficient money on their
farms with which TO pay taxes and we
will prove that the land is not properly
! titled, or that there is a screw loose in
some part of the management. There is
a reason for the low price OF wheat and
there is reason why only eight sacks OF
wheat is TAX EN- from an acre of ground
where there should be fifteen. Six years
