THE TROUBLE IN CUBA.

Savings banks have never been a sue
cess in the island. One was tried in
Havana several years ago. but 1T
failed miserably and it's President COM
mitted suicide. Cubans are accustomed
to- putting their spare money in the lot
terry as an investment.
There is a statement and an explana-
ton in one breath. Savings banks are
failure in Cuba, and the people OF
that island are accustomed to put
ting their spare money in lottery as an
investment. Is it any wonder that saw
ings banks are a failure there? The
lottery is the most seductive Skin

the possible exception of the nickel-in-
the-slot machine, which is worse only
because it requires a smaller invest
ment. Let the lotteries be suppressed
in Cuba and a different story will be
told regarding the savings banks.
JUST CRITICISM.
Solano Republican: Assemblyman
Grove L. Johnson has Withdrawn AS
sembly bill ISL, which was intended to
repeal. the Act of 1892, requiring the
plaintiff in libel suit to put up a bond
of 5000 to insure payment of costs
should the case be decided against the
plaintiff. Johnson is reported to have
said that he did not want to injure
the interior press and therefore with
drew the bill" If the metropolitan
press confined their criticism of public
men and events within proper lines and
followed the example of the country
press we would hear nothing of anti
newspaper legislation. There is no de-
nying the fact that the criticism in
dulged in by some of the large dailies
during the present session of the Leg
islature amounts to an abuse of the
liberty enjoyed by the press.

A PROSPEROUS TOWN.
Something About Corning, a Com
munity in Tehama County.

Corning is the name Of one of the
most prosperous towns in the northern
part of the State. 1t is situated in
Tehama County, about six miles north
Of the Glenn County line, in the midst
of a vast and generally fertile section.
1t Is the second town of Importance in
the county, and it's business houses are
up-to-date in every particular
Sixteen years ago the people of what
was then known as "Riceville" moved
their houses about half a mile east to
the railroad and founded the town Of
Corning. On the morning of July T.
1898, a fierce and raging fire destroyed
the entire business section of Corning,
leaving nothing but ruin in its wake.
The business men at once set about
to rebuild, and in place Of the old frame
structures substantial and well-planned
brick buildings have been constructed.
Among the new brick buildings are
two large general merchandise stores.
two blacksmith shops, a drugstore, sa-
loon, barber shop. real estate office, no.
ton store and restaurant, while the
new frame structures consist of two
hotels, a grocery store, Postoffice, sa-
loon, blacksmith shop, two livery and
feed stables and shoe store. A large
brick hotel is expected to go up in a
few months. The town has two weekly
newspapers, and two churches.
The fact that Corning annually ships
more turkeys than any other town in
the State is not generally known. AS
high as sixty tons of the dressed birds
have at times been sent to San Fran
cisco and other places for the holiday
trade Chickens and eggs are also
shipped in large quantities from that
point.
The most extensive industry of the
country around Corning is that of rails
ing grain, and in favorable years the
output is immense. Stockraising is
also an important industry and many
carloads Of cattle hogs and sheep are
annually shipped to the city markets.
Fruit culture is largely practiced.
Many new families are constantly ar
irving from the East and planting or
chards Notwithstanding the severe
season the output last year amounted
to nineteen carloads of dried fruit. two
of which were grown on haywood and
most of the balance along the fertile
land on Themes Greek.
Corning, with her advantage in the
way of cheap transportation, good and
healthful climate coupled with her ag-
ricultural, stock raising and poultry in
terests. as we'll as that of fruit grow
ing, has every prospect of bright
future.
