Colonel Francis V. Greene OF the Seventy-first
Regiment of New York told the faculty and
students of Union College the other day that
roads and civilization went hand in hand, and
were mutually dependent on each other; the

The spirit of harmony and mutual help
fitness which now pervades all parts OF
California, and has put an end to nearly
all of those local jealousies which once
prevented the progress of the State by
dividing its people, will eventually extend
over all the Pacific Coast, and bring Wash
ington ana Oregon, with Arizona ana New
Mexico, and all the great region west of
the Rockies, into a thorough cooperation
with California in everything that tends to
the advancement of the coast. In the very
nature of things this must be so, for at the
present time the interests of the entire
coast are identical on every issue before
the people. We regret, therefore, to note
that the proposal of the Manufacturers
Association to extend its organization to
Portland has been met by the Telegram of
that city with the assertion "San Fran
cisco should not be either surprised or
panied if this city fails to enthuse over the
proposal. While willing to work for the
interests of the whole coast, Portland can
not conscientiously commit itself TO the
furtherance of any scheme of California
origin and aimed solely to promote Cali
fornia' s interests" This is but a survival
of sectionalism that cannot prosper the
Pacific Coast nor any section of 1t. The
Manufacturers Association is not working
for San Francisco alone. The leaders of
the association have learned that the whole
coast must work together, in order that
any section of it may achieve a complete
prosperity, and if the Telegram would serve
Portland well, it should set about teaching
the same great truth to the people of that

'Now, that is peculiar question to ask me.
1 suppose in moment you will want to know
what the latest news about the war is Let me
tell you a strange thing about the difficulties
between Japan and China. The war has been
going on tor several months now, and the only
news we get IN regard to it is cleaned from the
American papers. That is really fact. In
Yokohama the people know absolutely nothing
about the trouble, and we never see soldier
from morning till night. The Japs who want
to go to war leave the city in citizens dress and
go into the interior, where they enlist, and no
word ever comes back to Yokohama"

chains and screws hooked over the edge of the
boat and fastened below by eyes and bolts.
The bolts are fastened to rods with arms
moved by lever. The boat clamps are of iron
with wooden washers for the protection of the
boat. When the boat is placed in the clamps
one movement of the lever closes all the LASH
ings and fastens the boat to the blocks.
In launching the boat one movement of the
lever and severalErevolutions OF the fly-wheel
are all that is necessary. By these means the
boat is swung over the side. The work OF
lowering then proceeds in the usual way.
There are two of the devices on the Havel.
By one of them yesterday boat was launched
in thirteen seconds.

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS.

The North German-Lloyd steamer HaveI has
on trial an apparatus by which hfeboat can

issue of the New York Herald.
Both of the dayits are connected by an iron
rod so that they always remain the same dis

positions. The after Gavit is provided with a

There is no work in which the CALL is
engaged with more earnestness or with
more pleasure just now than that of giving
every aid it can to the interior press in
making known the beauty, the resources
and the industries of the various counties
and towns of the State; and no words of
kindness that come to US are more valued
than those which show an appreciation of
what we are doing in this way and a will
ingness to help. When the first of our
series of articles on interior towns were
published, some of our exchanges regarded
them as paid write ups" and wrote of
them in that way, but now, we are glad to
say, true knowledge of them has found
its way through the State, and on every
side the interior press is giving US its pow
erful aid. The Livermore Herald, for ex-
ample, notes with cordial words the arrival
in that town of the members of our staff
engaged in this work, and says: Hereto
fore the City papers have charged out
rageous rates for such work, but the CALL
does it all gratis, hoping thereby, of course,
to gain the good will and support of the
people"
This is an exact statement of the case.
We are not seeking to get something for
nothing. We ask for no support where we
are unwilling to give support, and desire
the approval of the Pacific Coast only so
far as by our work we prove ourselves the
true champion of Pacific Coast interests
and Pacific Coast men.

that the enterprising people of that pleasant

avenue to extend five miles out from Kenwood

OUR EXCHANGES.

If the Red Bluff News correctly reports
the sentiment of any great number of
people of Tehama County in saying, ''It
seems to be the opinion of many that a
game warden would be an expensive
luxury to this country these hard times
and ought not to be INDUCED in" the
News should certainly begin at once to
educate those people on the importance of
enforcing the game laws and the necessity
of having somebody to see that they are
enforced. If the man selected for game
warden is competent and faithful, he will
prove profitable economy rather than an
expensive luxury and save to the county
the value of many dollars, and healthful
recreation, whose worth cannot be counted
in dollars

the native inhabitants are separate and apart

easy to follow the process of argument,
which led this sanguine-hearted prophet
to conclude that the climate of Oregon
would be improved up to the California
standard by the enterprises he names, but
the strength of faith is evident in the
terseness of the statement; and if it does
not tend to promote the spirit of enter
prise among the people of Eastern Oregon,
and induce them to subscribe to the Mica
ragua canal, there is no efficacy in fervent
zeal.

Every one who has any appreciation of
the value to California of the beautiful
names which grace so many of her coun-
ties, her towns and her valleys, will give
cordial approval to the plea made by the
Los Angeles Herald for the preservation of
the soft-sounding romantic Spanish names
in that section. AS the Herald well says:
sit means dollars as well as sentiment.
Verdugo Pass means whole lot more,
when spoken in an Eastern State, than
would the Headsman's Pass. San Gabriel
Valley has an added charm by reason of
its pretty name, when spoken of among
those familiar with the language of ro-
nance. Burbank will never be as famous
as Santa Ana nor as attractive to Eastern
ears, though her natural prosperity should
far outreach it" These words are of such
indubitable truth that no one is likely to
gainsay them, and there ought to be a reso-
lutte expression of public sentiment against
any one who proposes to abolish one of
these beautiful names in order to advertise
himself by giving his own name to some
romantic locality or attractive townsite.
