Fertility of the Land Backed by | a Climate Unsurpassed in California. Redding, the County Seat, One of the Mcst Charming Cities in ths Golden State. REDDING, CaL; March 25.—Shasta County, California, is situated at the head of-the Sacramento Vailey, and is the sec- ond county south of the boundary be- tween California and Oregon. Its great- Mr. Bush hes been a resident of Shasta County forty-six years; County Judge for over ten years; delegate tothe National Republican Convention at Chicago, 1884, that nominated Blaine; Postmaster at Redding for four years under Harrison; organized the Shasta County Bank, now cashier and manager of the same; presi- dent of the Board of Trade of Redding; president of the Republican League of Shasta County. Is now and always has been sn aciive worker in the Republican perty. est lengtn from east to west is ninety miles, and from north to south sixty miles. The mountains of the Sierra Nevada and Coast ranges cover a large vortion of the county on all sides except the south. They are rugged and lofty, rising in places more than 5000 feet above the sea level. In tbe southery portion of the county is a foothill region, balf circu- lar in shape, forming the northern end of the Sacramento Valley proper. The cen- tral and southern portions of this foothill region consist of table lands, varying in altitude from 500 to 700 feet above sea level, cut by many streams of water form- ing narrow valleys. The soil of the valleys is alluvial or sedi: ment, containing a good deal of disinte- grated rock or gravel. Color of soil, light red or reddish bro ich and productive. In these valley raisin and the best F table grape, the peach, prune, g ot grow very rapidly, the land preducing abundantly large and luscious grapes and fruiis. The table-lauds be- tween valleys are mostly sandy clay loam, granite, and clay soils, timbered—scatter- ing ock and pine—and more or less cov- ered on surface with gravel and bowlders. These table-lands or mesas are peculiarly suited such fruits as pear, olive, fig, nectarine, fiz and apri quince and apple and for fine wine grape. | While in the high and mountainous part of the county the winters are cold and snow falls to a great depth sometimes is foothill region erass grows green oses bloom during the entire winter 2 from November to April, the low- est thermometer ever known being 18 deg. above zero, and that oniy for aa hour or 1wo in the morning, the general range for the_winter months being from 36 deg. to to 70 dee. above. No windstorms have ever visited this section. No serious frosts have cccucred in the he average yearly rainfall is 33 is generally distributed monthy of September, Oc- November, December, January, March, April, May and , middle of June, thus render- r fruit trees and vineyards During these months the climate is simply superb. From the mid- dle of June to middie of September the weather is warm. Tuis is the disagree- zble part of the year, but while the ther- mometer sometimes Teaches 110 degrees and does that for several days in Suc- cession the ai~ is dry and pure, the nights charmingly cool ,and men, women and children go on with tueir work of gather- ing, curing, packing and shipping the luscio ruit, which is made so saperior by these very climatic 2onditions and suf- fer no great inconvenience from heat. The rnia and Oregon Railroad (San Francisco 1o Portland) passes through the county, and freight and pas- senger rates to and from points east and northeast are the same as they are to San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose or Los A es. The population of the county is 20,000. Schools and churches are ample far the accommodation of all who desire toat. tend. Our chief industries are agriculture, fruit growing, siock raising, dairying, mining, quarrying and lumbering. For heaithfulness the county generally is unsurpassed, and some diseases, such as asthma, catarrh, bronchitis and all kinds of lung diseases, are benefited by residence here. The market here is the best. The min- ing and lumbering interests of thisand adjoining counties create a home market for a very Jargs proportion of our pro- ducts, while the railroad carries the sur- plus east, by way of Portland and Sacra- mento, going at once into the cooler cli- mate of hbigher altitudes, reaching the market twenty-four hours in advance of shipments from central and southern por- tions of the State. The scenery here is of the grandestin this grand State. Health-giving springs sbound in every portion of the county. There is no county containing so many and such farge streams of water. Fishing and hunting may be indulged in to the heart’s content. . Redding, the county seat, is on the Cal- ifornia and Oregon Railroad, eighteen miles from the south line of the county. It is the geographical center of that por- tion of California north of the thizd stan- dard line, inciuding the counties of Siski- vou, Trinity, Bbasta, Tenama, Coln: d Atte, the larger portions of Modoc, Las- sen, Plumas, Del Norte and Humboldt, and smaller portions of Lake, Mendocino and Yuba, a territory 194 miles in diame- ter. It is also the center of population of the to the growth and perfection of | same territory—the trade center and_dis; tributing point for an immense area in al directions, and will continue t0 be so for many years. Redding is without doubt one of the most charming gems in Cali- fornia. Snugly nestled in the lap of the northern Sacramento Valley, with the beautiful Sacramento River at its very feet, gliding through the rich valley land, the location of this flourishing city is renowned for sublimity and picturesque- ness. The business buildings are mostly brick, and some of them are ‘very hand- some structures. The city is supplied with electric lights and excellent water works. Population 3000. Two magnifi- cent bridges span the river between. the city ana tbe country adjoining on the east, which for about eighieen miles east- erly is a table-land, twenty-five feet above high water in the river, and is cut north and south by three beautiful valleys. There are & number of new buildin gs contracted for this spring and everything indicates more than usual activity for the ensuing season 1n business circles. The men prominently connected with the | town for a number of years past and who take an active interest in the deyelopment and growth of the city and country sround are: C. C. Bush, now manager of the Bank of Shasta County, president of the Board of Trade and the pioneer resi- | dent of Redding: William Gillespie, man- ager of the Railroad Hotel and eating- houses; H. Clineschmidt, proprietor of the Temple Hotel and now a member of the Board of City Trustees; O. E. Nash, engaged in general merchandise and also member of the Board of Trustees. Many other citizens are noted for theit liberality and enterprise. Among other towns in the county are Anderson and Cottonwood on the rail- road, both situated in the fruit-producing | belt,’ and both good shipping . points. | Much bas been done the past three years in the development of the mining indus- tries of the country in the immediate vi- cinity of Redding, and many thousands of | dollars have been spent in the buildinz of | railroads, erection of smeiters, stamp- mills, etc. The largest campis the Mountain Copper Company (limited). The mines are about fourteen miles from Redding, the smelters VICTORY FOR PIO PICO'S DAUGHTERS Win Their Suit forb the Spanish Ex-Governor’s Property. Will Now Lay Claim to Lands Not Included in the Distribution. Abila Tract in Los Angeles One of the Secticns They Aspire to ] Possess. LOS ANGELES, Can., March 26.—An interesting bit of litigation has been oc- cupying the attention of Judge Clark in the Superior Court here for many days. 1t is the determinate action in a long series of litigations respecting the disposition of the estate of ex-Governor Pio Pico. It is believed that the case now concluded marks the end of this lengthy litigation, or rather one phase of it. Ina manner, however, it 1s a preliminary to another series of suits, which may involve vast sums of money and the titles to large tracts of land and valuable improved property. Pio Pico wes the last Spanish Governor ratus for the use of the local Fire Depart- ment. Men who have taken little interest in the affairs of the town before are now putting forth their energies to make the meeting of to-morrow night a success, and prominent citizens have agreed to address the assemblage. 2 I 1] NEW SAUSALITO CLUBHOUSE. San Francisco Yacht Club Members to Erect a Twa-Story Structure on Water Street, SAUSALITO, CAr., March 26.—At a San Francisco Yacht Club it was decided to build a new clubhouse on the site of its building whic was burned on Sunday morning on Waterstreet. Thenew structs ure will be two stories in height and con- tain billiard-rooms and lockers for the menbers of the club. It bas been defi- nitely decided mot to have a bar or a kitchen 1n the new building. The first story will'be arranged in such o manner that boats owned by members of the club can be stored thergin, and a complete set of lockers will be built. In the second story the -billiard and club rooms will occupy the entire available space. The boats:which were stored in the old building_ before. the fire are now teing cared forat the cluphouse of the Pacific Yacht Club in Ssusalito. Upen the completion of the new structure the boats will be taken t5 the new quarters. One feature of the mew clubhouse will be a ladies’ room. The sides and front of the building will, according to the pr intention, be of glass, affording the visitor a view of the bay and the surrounding country. The pians are to make the building art- istic as well. as specially suitable for the purposes of the ciub. The directors have not decided as to the date when work will be commenced on the building, but they realize that without a clubbouse and meeting-place the members would sooa become dissatistied, and they_intend to fiumpieu arrangements with all possible aste. — FRESNO'S LAND SWINDLES. Hundred Thousand Club Defers. Judg- ment Upon the Action of Agent Griffith, FRESNO, Car., March 26.—The Hun- dred Thousand Club last night investi- gated the charges against one of its mem- bers, S.

A railroad, built two | vears ago, connects mices and smelters | with the main line. About 500 men are employed. The ore yields copper, silver and gold in the order named. The Hart (or Texas and Georgia) mines are about | | six‘miles north of Redding and employ | | from 75 to 150 men. There are many other smaller mines, employing from five to twenty men each, within a radius of a few miles from Red- ding. East of the town about forty miles are the timber lands of the Shasta Lumber Company, connected by flume and rail with the main line at Anderson. Many men are employed in connection with thisenterpriseduring the summer months. | Stock-raising is confined principally to | the foothill region and elevated plateaus | in the eastern and northeastern portions | of the county, where good range is found | | and soil and climate are adapted to the growth of nutritious grasses, both wild and cultivated, cereals and corn. The lower valieys are the fruit-producing sections. Natore seems to have exhausted her vocdbulary ia fitline Shasta County. While there are no great bodies of what is termed acricultural or wheat-producing lands there is enough that with proper | cultivation will produce 20od crops. There is fruit land, grape land, grass and corn lands, timber land, cosl and stone lands, gold, silver, copper, iron, limestone, granite, sandstone, everything. An empire ‘arger in area: than Rhode Is- lana and capable of supporting its popu- | lation independent of any other section. The Sacramento River passes through the county from north to south. The Pit and MecCloud empty 1nto it. A few milesnorth of Redding there are numerous beautiful falls on thess streams. The couniy abounds in health-giving springs. Taken as a whole, Shasta County offers many in- ducements to home-seekers and capital- ists. Labor in these days is abundant everywhere and the supply in this county is fully equal to the demand. San Disgo Kailway SAN DIEGO, Can, March 26.—John Staley, a teamsater in the employ of James Riley on the new Schaeffer block, was in- stantly killed this. afternoon in the Southern California Railroad yards by s switching train. Staley was crossing tbe track with a load of sand, when the train, going fifteen miles an hour, struck the forward trucks of his wagon and threw him under the cars. Two cars passed | over him.

He died in poverty, and his sole estate con- sisted, according to the administrator, of an old silver watch and two or three horses, with- some other minor personal property. But this wasnot all. He had two daughters—Griselda Pico and Joa- quina de Moreno. These daughters contested the distribu- tion, but the personal property went to his son, Alired Pico. The daughters claimed there was more, including some valuable city property and a one-fourth interest in several large ranches. They also claimed the Abila Tract in this city. Some months ago there was organized in San Francisco a company of wealthy men, whose purpose was to secure for these daughters the money and land they clsimed. The best legal talent was en- aged. Horace Appel, a luent speaker of the Spanisi: language, of this city, was employed, and entered suitin behalf of the two daughters, Now he has won the case, and this mforning’'s decree declares the two daughters the children of Pio Pico, and solely entitled to the property distributed. Having established their m in this suit the daughters will begin a legal fight for the valuable property which they allege is theirs by right. e AN BSausalito Mass-Meeting. SAUSALITO, Car., March 2, — From every indication the mass-meeting of the citizens of Sausalito to be held at the Town Hall Saturday evening promises to be a big affair.. The recent fire, destroying five buildings on Water street, has aroused the pevple to the necessity of devising wavs and means for obtaining proper fire appa- of the club savored very much of the former. A resolution was adopted defer- ring judgmaent upon the condition that Mr. Griffith provide immediate employ- mont for the five men already here and agree to care and provide for such addi tioual men or families as may come bere under his represeatations. The immigrationist refused to accept this action of the ciub, demanding a full vindication. This was not forthcoming, and if Mr. Griffith does not Kmnnre work for the men by next week the club may | take furcher action. 3 The only thing that saved Mr. Griffith from expulsion from the club was an in- geniously worded letter from C. B. Shaver of the Fresno Fiume and Irrigation Com- pany saying that “forty men couid beem- ployed at the mills’’ at Clovis, where the agent had lots to sell at $150 apiece, or about $130 more than they were worth, In Chicago Mr. Griffith represented to the five men thatthey could get employment immediately upon their arrival in Fresno provided they woul!d ech sign & contract to take a town lot at $150. . The work was not forthcoming when they arrived. Dur- ing the investization the land agent ad- mitted that he might have been too “neglectful” of the men.

Passengers and Baggage Landed at Campbell Island, Two Miles Away. The Steamer Dora Goss Ashore Near Port S:mpscn, but Was Got Off and Beached. NANAIMO, B. C., March 26.—The steamer Barbara Boscowitz, which ar- rived this morning from the north, brings news of the wreck and total loss of the steamer Willapa on Regatta Reef, near Bella Coole, last Friday. The steamer struck during the snowstorm early in the morning, and when it was found that the pumps had no effect, the passengers and baggage were landed on Campbell Isiand, two miles away. On Sunday last they were picked up by the Boscowitz and re- moved to Bella Coola, where they now are. The Boscowitz also brings word that the steamer Dora went upon the rocks on Green Island, near Port Simpson, last week, but was got off and beached. BLOWN ASHORE BY THE GALE. Steamer Cyrus Walksr Aground on Fox Island and Its Log Tow Scattered. TACOMA, WasH., March 26.—Reports from near-by Sound ports are beginning to come in, telling of the damage done to shipping by yesterday’s gale. The most serious disaster fell to the lot of the steamer Cyrus Walker, with a big boom of logs in tow. The steamer is now hard and fast on the beach of Fox Island, while the logs are scattered along the shore line for miles. Tue boom which the Walker had in tow consisted of fourteen sections, which were cut at Sheltun and destined for Port Gamble. Wkhen the blow came on the steamer was not only not able to make any headway with its tow, but was itself blown upon the beach, where it was left by the receding tide. When the boom struck the beach it was the work of a very minutes for the waves to break it up and destroy all resemblance to a rafr. The steamer Favorite left this morning for the scene of the disaster, where it will endeavor to release the Walker from its uncomfortable position and then proceed to gather up whatever of the broken boom can be recovered. The Walker is a side-wheel towing steamer, about 38 feet wide and 180 feet in length. It was built on the Sound rs ago and contained heavy machinery, which will increase: the difficulty of get- ting it back into the water. The Port Gamble Mill Company owns the vessel. WANTS A SAN JOSE ESTATE. Woman Cla:ming to Be a Relative of the Late Miser Dreitus Denounced as en Impostor. 8AN JOSE, Car, March 26.— What bears the semblance of an attempt to steal an unclaimed estate by means of forgery was brought to light to-day in Judge Hy- land’s cogrtroom. This was the time set for hearing the claim of Mrs. Mary J. Friend of Phcenix, Ariz., to the estate of Frank Dreifus, an old.iser, who died in this city about a year ago. Dreilus, or Draves, as he was sometimes known, left property valued at $4455. No relative could be found and the estate was about to be distributed to the State when a few days ago a petition was filed by Mrs. Friend, who set up the claim that she w; a cousin of the deceased. When the claim of Mrs. Friend was filed Judge Hyland appointed Attorney F. B. Brown to repre- sent the State in the matter. Mrs, Friend was in court to-day and pre- sented, in support of her claim to kinship, a number of letters nurported! to have been written by Dreifus about ten years ago. The letters were put under micro- scopical examination by District Attorney Herringion, who was invited by the court %o take & hand in the affair. They all bore evidenceof having been tampered withasto the signatures, and the sentiment of them appears to be that which a son would ex- press toward a mother and not as passing between cousins. The siznatures were bad imitations of Dreifus’, and the court and Attorney Brown pronouncea them as the rankest kind of forgery. Mrs. Friend was not represented by counsel, and the court continued the case fora week. It is not believed that she will again put in an appearance. sl sk WANTED IN OAKLAND. ‘Captured Burglars to Bs Surrendered to Chief Lioyd. SAN JOSE, Cav., March 2.—E. J.

The handwriting of Hess and Hammil! bas been identitied as that of two men who pawned a quantity of goods ob- tained in several burglaries committed bere. The Oakland police have a much stronger case againstthe men than can be made out in this’ city, and Chief Kid- ward has consented to let Chief Lloyd of Oaklanc take them. The msn are also wanted at Santa Cruz. In the past few months Hess and Ham- mill made six visits to this city, and on each occasion a number of robberies were committed. It is certain that they en- tered W. 8. Irish’s residence on March 14, but the police bave been unable to pro- duce sufficient evidence to insure a con- viction. e TO HONOE MOEEHOUSE.

Lucius Fairchild Post Organized by Sur- v:vors of the Civil War of the Sixties. PACIFIC GROVE, Can, March 26.— The organization of a Grand Army post at.this place has long been agitated, and the talk has at last ended in something substantial. On ‘Wednesday evening Special Mustering Officer I. Manning Kipp came over from Salinas to institute the new post and to muster in the members. D. J. King and D. J. McDougail, both of Steedman Post No.. 56, Salinas, assisted in the work, and twenty-eight charter members were sworn in. ‘When the new organization was_first contemplated and a name was being chosen for it that of John C. f'remont was selectea as being the most appropriate be- cause of General Fremont’s connection with the early historical events of this locality; but word was received from headquarters that that name bhad been used 1in all its variations, and could not be given to this post. Therefore the post at Pacific Grove will be known as Lucius Fairchild Post No. 179. The post having been organized and mustered in_the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: L.

STOCKTON, CaL, March 26.—Judge Budd this morning took a whack at the Supreme Court. In the case of the People against De Force, one of the all-;;d Lodi burglers, bis Honor yesterday raisedjthe point that inasmuch as thedefendant was charged in the information as *:John Doe’ and committed to jail by nis true name, the proceeding was not proper, and the information should be set aside. T}m court stated then that he desired to give the matter further consideration, and he ssked the District Attorney to show him any Supreme Couri decisions bearing upon the point. The District Attorney found a ruling of the higher tribunal up- holding the information in a similar case. Judge Budd this morning said that he was therefore constrained, much against Ins better judgment, to uphold the infor- mation in this case. He further remarked that the prisoner Lad been held to an- swer without probabie cause. He re- viewed the evidence, and said that there was nothing but the confession of a “‘seli- confessed thief and burglar’’ to warrant De Force's detention ; but the court added that the matier could not be reached by the present proceedings. “I intend,”” saia Judge Swinnerton for the prisoner, *'to bring this case before t:.e Supreme Court squarely on this point— whether s man can be deprived of his con- stitutional rights; whether the guarantee that ‘no man shall be deprived of his liberty without probable cause’ means anything, or whether 1t is merely an idle phrase? It the Supreme Court has made such a ruling, it is high time that it should be changed.” g i MOUKNING IN GILKOY. Ex-Congressman Tuliy’s Body Borne to its Last Kesting-Place.
