like great tall trees upon the dried.

Shortly after dawn on FRIDAY morning
We entered, what every eye was anxious
to behold, the orange fields Of California
The entrance to California is great dis

over miles and miles of an arid waste.
Gray, ashy soil between heavy rock and
coarse gravel. One would wonder that
anything could be raised upon it. Indeed
nothing could he produced were it not
for the system of irrigation instituted
in the country. We pass through old San
Bernardino, as ancient IN its civilization
as the valley of the Euphrates in the
days Of Nebopolassar. We get our first
view of oranges on the tree at this point
but we have neither time nor disposition
to stand taking stock of such a place.
Within thirty minutes we are wheeled
into Ontario, a settlement of Canadians
who know how to farm and who are
not afraid to work Our eyes feast on
broad square sections or orange and
lemon groves reaching back to the
mountain and south to the coast, a dead
under cultivation. All forms of fruit are
being raised there. In addition to the
above there are apricots, figs, grapes,
walnuts, plums, cherry, everything. It is
rich sight to see these endless measure
less groves illimitable in production,
yielding up their luxurious products for
the sweetening of American life These
sections now so rich, is the old San Bar
nardino valley of gravel, changed by the
hand and head of intelligence into the
nearest thing to paradise anywhere to
be found on earth. At this depot there
are several warehouses boxing and ship
ping fruit, and a car famine the year
around. One days shipment during last
month amounted to $4,000 for the farm
er, and $4,000 for the Southern Pacific
/ Railway company.
The orange and lemon country prac-
tically lies south of Los Angeles. The
reason why it does not extend farther
up in the state is perhaps because the
system of irriga ton does not reach that
far. Our company separated at Los Au-
geles, or in other words. the family
took leave at the depot Some have not
seen each ether since arriving. but one
thing We are assured Of Is that the hand
shaking by the sea that rolls around one
half of this hemisphere will be renewed
by many of that company, on the shore
of that great ocean that rolls all around
the world. &C. H. H.

CARNEGIE,s LATEST GIFT.

The retirement of Mr. Andrew Carnegie
from Industrial life Is in itself a cir
cumstance of national Importance. Few,
if any, men have accomplished so much
worldly success as has attended the eff
forts Of Mr.. Carnegie in the various pur-
suits which he has followed. The mans
indomitable perseverance and his COM
mercial sense amounting almost to
genius. have enabled him to accumulate
great wealth. His power Of organization
of his career SO as to render the success
of any enterprise in which he might en-
gage as almost assured from the outset.
Mr. Carnegie differs from most men
whose efforts have been attended by cor
responding good fortune in the respect
that he has not only shown his readiness
to devote his surplus wealth to public
uses, but he has demonstrated the good
sense which has characterized all his
undertakings in the making of his pub
lie benefactions. He has not waited for
either old age or death to overtake him.
he has not run the risk, as other bene-
ficent men have done, Of having their
possessions fought over after death. He
has given to himself and to the world the
qualification Of making his bestowals
while yet he lived to observe and appre-
ciate their effect Moneys so bestowed
must be expended with bene6cent re-
suits.
The latest gift of Mr.. Carnegie Is one
on the most stupendous ever made for
public uses. 1t carries with it. too a
recognition ungrudgingly given, of the
great part which his employees have
borne in enabling him to accumulate
such enormous wealth Wealthy men
have not but with very rare executions
shown any disposition whatever to regard
the labor or services of those whose toll
they employ. The exception is all the
more honorable to Mr. Carnegie. IT
carries lesson with it, too which ought
not TO be lost upon other employers. Day
by day our entire industrial system ia
resolving itself into a scheme for the
employment of the many by the few
on the wage system of compensation.
The recognition offered by Mr.. Carnegie
comes on the threshold of what prom
1ses to be an enormous extension of that
sy stem. 1t will be we'll for the future.
rot only of our national industries.
but of our national and social life if
the example thus set by Mr.. Carnegie
is followed generally by those who are
now proceeding along paths marked out
by him in productive energy.
Mr.. Carnegie must carry with him
across the Atlantic the best wishes of
the American people for his future well
fare and happiness. While his most.
recent benefaction will be confined in
operation to the benefit Of a compara-
lively small class his action represents
a principle of conduct which, If generally
followed will go far towards reconciling
the American people to pending changes

! moment they show decided aversion to-

nRurAL AS MEI.L as CRIMINAL.

BRUTAL. AS WE'LL AS CRIMINAL.
The arrest of the poachers who have
been engaged in the slaughter of big
game animals for the sale of their heads
in mounted form is a very important
event. The accused, if they are found
guilty. ought to get the limit of the
law. so that their punishment may oper-
ate as a warning to all miscreants of
their description.
The absence of anything like an eff
cient administration of the game laws of
this and other states is not the fault
of those who are charged here and else
where with the work of game protection.
1t is rather the fault Of the paltriness
Of state authority in refusing to make
anything like adequate provision In that
behalf The prevailing methods are on
par with those in another direction which
have enabled the robbery of our public
timber to be carried on on a gigantic
scale and with comparative impunity.
Public sentiment on both subjects is uni
proper safeguarding of the public inter
ests; but the legislature and public au-
thority generally may be said to have
winked at the crimes committed in each
direction.
When such brutal methods as these
men are charged with having resorted
to are possible there can be but little
wonder at the continued defamation Of
game. And such methods will prevail
as long as there are criminals engaged
in industrial life, and as long as the pub
lie refuse or neglect to take proper pre-
cautions to prevent their depredations.
The very nature of the discovery made
by the game authorities in this case
ought of itself to impress upon every
member Of the legislature the necessity
of taking every precaution possible to
put a stop to poaching operations In
order to do this the game wardens de-
partment ought to be given the amplest
facilities to carry on It's work There
can be no money expended in this direc-
ton which will be lost It is far better
to lose even a good proportion of the
money that may be devoted to the
preservation of our game by paying the
salaries of men, who perhaps, will not
give an adequate return for the money
paid them in salaries, than it is to sane
ton by inaction the shameful decfma-
ton Of game animals which this par
ton
Neither preference nor policy can in
duce the o b e to pay unmerited COM
pliments to the present administration
of the game wardens Office. But the ac-
tivity displayed Of late among the Of
ficials Of that department is In itself
most commendable. Mr. Fullerton is I'M
questionably animated by an earnest de-
sire to discharge the important duties OF
his Office, and he has been successful in
that behalf Of late to degree which en-.
titles him to support. The public have
seen enough of late through the ship
ment of game out of season and in other
directions to understand to what lengths
poachers will go. 1t is the duty OF state
authority to hold up the hands OF the
game keepers in every direction to pre-
vent the prevalence Of this form of
crime.
