The Red Bluff Neaps has been

The Red Bluff NeaDs has been in
formed by Mr.. Finnell, owner of a
tract at Richfield, Tehama County,
Cal, that the sale of the land to a
beet sugar company has been prac.
tically agreed upon. The company
is said Co be the same as that which
owns and operates the sugar fac
tory at Alameda. Ifthis transaction
should result in the establishment
of beet sugar factory in Tehama
County it will he great help to the
farmers Of that part of the State.
There is every reason for the multi
plication of such factories in Cal
ifornia, and no danger of OVERRIDING
the beet sugar industry. 1t is an
nounced at Los Angeles that a new
sugar factory had been secured for
Antelope Valley, as the result of
effort on the part of interested land
owners. If the farmers in other
parts Of the State were equally
enterprising there would be many

well be applied to Nevada, too.

such fact can be possible unless
England is coming to the conclusion
that she cannot whip the Beers in
a square fight and is going to try

warfare is just what England and
all other civilized nations howled
against when Spain was trying to
starve the Cubans to death. 1t is a
very weak move for England.

The death of Robert Watson,
cattle man, after drinking the
waters of death Spring in the
Rabbit Hole Mountains, again
brings into prominence this terror
of Nevada stOckmen. The spring
is situated in Humboldt County,
New. Its waters are SO impregnated
with arsenic that death results to
most creatures that drink from it.
Running from the spring is a tiny
stream, clear as crystal, which sinks
into the ground about 100 yards
from the spring. Along the banks
Of this stream are to be found the
bones of hundreds of small animals,
and even of deer, sheep and cattle
that have drank of the water and
died
Stockmen have built high fence
about the spring and, SO far as pos
sible, have enclosed the stream. 1t
seems impossible, however, to keep
stock from drinking the water. Sit
uated many miles from any other
water supply, cattle will get to it
no matter what precautions are
taken to prevent them. Hundreds
of head of stock are lost each year
on account OF it,

Representative Neal is, we believe,
taking the right view of the situation at
Little Rock. He is not wasting any
time drafting new measures, but is
doing good work in committee and on
the floor in perfecting those that have
been introduced. The great trouble
with the average legislator is his mania
for having his name appear as author OF
a dozen or more measures, and he is not
altogether to blame, for in many cases
their constituents expect them to be
such. This, in a measure. accounts for
the large number of measures of no i'm
portance introduced.

abolished. 1t is responsible for much
of the drunkenness prevalent in this

when this very practice of treating
has caused nam to drink more than he
really wished. When you look at ii
right it is only acquired habit. We

worthy of the name, who did not aspire
to be the father and the grandfather of

his name and the fortune accumulated by
the sweat of his brow, from generation to

of welded couples, otherwise happy fall

cause they are childless. In the majority
