velop the manifold resources of our country
lands by maintaining Eastern offices and dis
tributing literature with regard to this State
are deserving of consideration at this time.
Spencer c. Buckbee OF Shainwald. Buck bee
& Co., which firm is about to open up some
extensive tracts in California for colonization
purposes, has the following to say in recen mt
interview on the subject of colonization:
"Under proper management the successful
colonization OF the large holdings of desirable
California lands can be carried out. But it
must be done through a different medium
than that generally engaged in at The present
time. In the first place we must offer to those
who really want a nome in California that is
attractive, sef-sustaining and profita BILE, lands
on which such home can be made. This
means that we must offer them our hest lands.
"lf we do this there will be few disappoint-
ments, for there are but few places in the
world where the homemaker can get such a
reward of fruit, flowers and vegetables for his
Ia Dor as in California. Then again, if we sue
ceed in this great movement we must take q
friendly interest in those who come among us
to make their homes, and see that they have
the benefit of our experience, at least. This
will enable them to get the best results of their
efforts by having all their development work
done in the proper time and proper manner.
In short, We should be just anxious to see
our colonlsts succeed as to sell them our

AURORA AND 10 BELOW ZERO.

Is Only Four Hours Long.
During the winter months the aurora on
the Yukon is very brilliant and intensely
beautiful. 1t commences early in the fall,
and lasts, with more or less brilIiancy,
throughout the long arctic winter. 1t

sun, although in midwinter it has some.

noon while the sun was shining brightly.
The rays of the light first shoot forth with

the heavens. 1t glows for an instant like
a eirdle of Furnished gold, then, unfold

These royal mantles of bright orange

A strange pamphlet has just been issued

"Shekinah or THE Story of the God OF

From study of Scripture and series OF
rules and reasons the author predicts the
overthrowing of the Ottoman empire on
March 20, 1897. Friends of this society
meet every Tuesday night and discuss the
various evidences of the dissolution.
The pamphlet contains many quota

MARKET REVIEW
Prospects Much Brighter
Than They Were Twelve
Months Ago.
Confidence Is Better Restored and
There Is a General Desire
to Do Something.
The Present Year Will Probably Bring
Forth a Steady Market on Rscog-
nized Value Basis.

The first week of a new year always partakes
of a holiday character in business circles and
the present one is no exception 10 the rule.
At the same time pros poets all round are much
brighter than they were twelve months ago.
Confidence is better restored and there is
general desire to do something in almost all
directions and avenues OF trade.
In the real estate line the opinion is nearly
unanimous that much greater movement may
be expected. There has been some overhaul
ing Of values. but no serious decline has oc-
CURED anywhere, while in some spots values
have not only well held their own but
actually scored trifing advance over the
figures obtainable during the financial furry
period of 1890
Still, the idea seems to be to go slow and
sure. Money is plentiful, it is true, but in

SETTLEMENTS OF COUNTRY LANDS
Statistics show that nearly seven-twelfths of
the increase OF population TO the United States
during the past ten years have congregated in
the cities, and this tendency TO flock to the
city mas been increasing for many decades
The ratio of inequality is increasing with
such degree of rapidity as 10 be alarming.
1t is estimated that while the population of
this country has editwelye-iold since
the year 1900. the Inhabitants of the cities in
creased ninety-fold. This problem is perhaps
more perplexing in California than elsewhere,
as more than so per cent of this State reside in
the cities.
1t is claimed that this extensive proportion
OF the population of the city indicates an ex
cess OF non producers. The fact that the in
equality is becoming greater all the time
shows the necessity of using every legitimate
means OF settling up the available farming
lands of the State.
For this reason if for no other. the efforts of
those land companies which are inducing i'm

The Location of Eden-

The ancients were as much at variance
as the moderns as to the location of the
Garden of Eden. ST. Jerome records a
Hebrew tradition that the garden was
created before the world came into ex.
istence; therefore, it lay beyond its
present limits. Moses Bar Cepha places
1t midway between the earth and the
armament. Another idea prevailing in
the old days located Eden on top of a
mountain which reached nearly to the
moon; another that it was situated in the

vestors want full equivalent, so that it is
hardly posi- bic for anything in the shape of
irflsted quotations to develop in real estate
transactions A steady market on a recog-
nized value basis is best for all concerned,
and it looks very much as if this would be the
situation during the year just entered.

ANOTHER LETTER.
GRASSLAND, LEXINGTON, MASS

GRASSLAND, LEXINGTON, MASS,
Nov. -, 1897.
To Joseph Battell, Esq.
MY DEAR SIR have read with
great deal of interest and pleasure the
discussion your circular Of Oct. y has
brought out from the breeders and lovers
of the Morgan horses and | agree with
Messrs. Larrabee, Dorsey and Grattan.
Mr.. Dorsey Is in my opinion correct
when he advocates the acceptance of the
produce of trotting bred mares, even
though not registered in the National
Trotting Register, if sired by a stallion
carrying proper percentage of Morgan
blood, and | would also suggest that the
produce of mares carrying Morgan blood
when bred to a stallion bred i'm trottlng
lines, leaving 1t to the breeder to select
such stations as in his best judgement
are of the proper conformation and
breeding to improve the progeny being
accepted. 1t being understood that no
breeder would employ stallion, no
matter how well bred, that did not in
himself possess these qualities and liable
by the general character Of his ancestors
to transmit uniformly. This | admit is a
delicate proceeding, but believe that it
can be done. There are mares possessing
a large percentage of Morgan blood that
are not near Morgan stallion, and these
particular mares if properly mated are
/ liable to produce desirable qualities.
The National Trotting Register refuses
to accept thoroughbred lines as standard.
For example one of my best brood
mares was sired by Lexington Golddust
l2O5, by Golddust $50, out of the
thoroughbred mare Eugenia by LeXlng-
ton. Her dam is by Eclipse Gold
dust, by Lexington Golddust, out of a
daughter of Vermont Morgan (the sire
of Golddust 1900 "a dam daughter of
American Eclipse, thoroughbred. This
mares second dam is by Jehu Morgan by
Sherman Black Hawk l42, his dam being
by Clifford Morgan. Her third dam is by
Booker's Boston, a thoroughbred son of
Boston. This mare, while not standard,
is rich in Morgan and thoroughbred lines
and worthy to be placed on any stock
farm in the country. Were this mare
bred to a standard trotting stallion, even
though he should carry no Morgan blood
should not her produce be entitled tC
registration: 1t seems so to me.
believe in certain amount of lnbreedine
under certain circumstances as was done
by l.. l.. Dorsey and others, but l also
believe it can go too far, and that breed
ers should be allowed such freedom as
will in their judgement add to the size
elegance and other qualities as it is posi-.
BILE the celebrated Morgans may not
always possess.
Very respectfully yours,
EDWARD S. PAYSON.
