CALIFORNIA HARD UP.
A Feature Not Mentioned in the
Gold State Papers.

Rev. w. H. Knowlton, the new rec
tor of the Episcopal Church of the
Holy Communion, made his first
pleasant call at The GAZETTE Office
last Thursday morning. The new
minister resembles Bishop Gilbert in
stature and partially in facial appear
ance. He is an interesting converse
tionalist and dwells on subjects from
the student standpoint.
Naturally, in the course of con-
versations, lasting for over an hour,
California was considered. Mr.. Knowl-
ton has made it's climate and it's pro-
duct study while occupying the po-
sition of rector at San Luis Obispo.
AS result he entertains no kindly
remembrance of California as State
in which a livelihood can be gained.
His membranes of the people are
kind and always will be and to it's eli
mate he expresses the kindest of senti-
ments for having restored him to per-
feet health.
But it is the boomer that Mr..
Knowlton is after. The railroad shark,
the 100 men who practically own oil
of the agricultural land in the State
These are the people who swamp the
east, he claims, with flaming misrep-
resentation literature through which
medium the happy fastener, con-
tented with his Eastern home and a
snug little sum of 1,5OO to $500 to
his credit, is beguiled into going to
California, investing and shortly af-
forwards is on the point of starvation
"There are many cases of extreme
poverty there" continued the rector
poverty different than here. Poverty
whereby fathers starye themselves tc
death in order to save food for their
children. | know several such cases
within the borders of my old parish
One case in particular I want to re-
call. An Englishman, with a charm
ing wife and two small children, had
been misled by one of these railroad
sharks of land seller posters into com
ing to California. The poster tolc
him that he could build a certain
house for $40. It cost him and would
have cost anybody else $3.50. The
posters told him how cheap other
things could be secured. He invested
and paid nearly twice as much in ev
cry case. The Englishman came
there with $500 ready cash. It wa
all he had. In year or two he waG
practically without cent and in or
der to keep bread for his wife ane
children he starved himself to death.
afterward secured the wife position
as music teacher in one of the cit,
schools and placed the children il
two different homes, the complet

When the Moose Sheds His Horns

Very few neople have ever seen Il
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
Jan. 1 and Jan. 5, during which time
the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the late mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and jump at everything
in his way, butt trees and fences, and
his mates were driven by the big fell
low hither and thither. A kicking
bronco was turned into the park, and
for a few minutes the fight vas terrific,
the bronco coming out winner with his
heels. Finally the moose backed away
and made a run for the horse. This
was too much for the bronco. who fled
for dear life, with the moose in full
pursuit. The az was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enraged animal, which
was accomplished with no little trou-
BILE and danger.-Minneapolis Journal.
