IN RELIGION'S REALM.
£xpressions from the Various
Religious Newspapers.
The Religions Thought of the Day as
Expressed in the Sectarian Press-
Some Matters of Interest to Both
Ministers and Laymen.
A correspondent of the Christian Advo
cate (Moth.) wishes to know: "If a Chris
tian physician on Sunday performs
surgical operations or visits patients,
can he consistently take pay for the
same?"
To which the Advocntc answers: "Cer
tainly. Do you not pay your sexton for
taking care of the church, or organist for
playing, if he is a professional, and your
servants for working on Sunday in your
house? Such is human nature that, if
the physician took no pay for Sunday
services, his congregations would ne'er
break up and his Sabbaths would have
no ond."
The Cong regat ion all st says: "The cus
tomary motive urged for sustaining re
ligious services in places where one may
be sojourning lor the summer is the help
which can thus be brought to many a
feeble church. That is not the only rea
son which should make the Christian who
iri on his vacation mindful of his duty.
His own spiritual Life must be kept up,
and he has hardly less need than when at
home of those institutions and ordinances
which feed piety. Indeed, new surround
ings may develop new temptations. We
romember a college mate who used often
to say that ho found it harder work to
keep the faith amid the diversions and
delights of vacation than when he was
steadily engaged in the routine of study.
Your presence in the schoolhouse meet
ing or In the country church will doubt
less be an encouragement to the regular
attendants there, but uo not thither with
a self-complacent air as though you were
conferring instead of receiving a benefit."
The Churchman says : ''The oneness of
Christ's Church is an article of the Cath
olic faith; its preservation where it exists
and its restoration where it has been lost
or injured are Christian duties; yet for
ages both have been forgotten and ne
glected. Now, and in the most different
quarters, that article of Christ's truth is
remembered, and in churches which have
been isolated for fifteen centuries, as in
sects and denominations which have
been wrangling fur generations, the man
iipat wrong ana misery of separation are
rousing men to a sense of the imperative
Christian duty of unity. The'various
\ lews which are taken of the means and
mode of restoring unity are often incon
sistent and eveu contradictory, and then
again views of the most strangely similar
kind are Bet forth by persons of the most
widely different positions. But what is
strangest of all is this, that hardly is a
dispairing word, spoken on any side but
some strong utterance of faith and hope
is sounded from some other side. Thus,
in tho American church there has been
deep discouragement because the Lam
beth Declaration has not been immedi
ately adopted by the Christian denom
inations to which it was addressed; and it
is precisely at this time that Lord Nelson
and the whole school of High Anglicans
aro mos! deeply hopeful of discovering
some feasible plan of 'homo reunion,'
which, if it should lie found, would surely
set a pattern to be safely followed in this
schism-rent country."
Church Hells (P. E.) says: "The tri
umph of Dr. Brooks means, to some, that
t;i. church has passed through a revolu
tion. She has abandoned what is called
her old and narrow ground, and, by tho
of a majority of the Bishous, taken
a new departure. Henceforth, for the
Episcopal Church to enter ;\ town for
mission work where a Christian minister
is already preaching, may be regarded as
an impertinence. The basis once promul
gated for unity, contains no longer the
historic Episcopate. The Episcopal
< 'hurch as a distinctive body in the midst
of the rival sects is no more. It is held
that 'we have nothing to oiler which the
others have not.' Iho brilliant Boston
pulpit orator, backed by the power of the
press an.! public popular opinion, has led
the whole church, by the final voice of
the House of Bishops, into the unbounded
field of broad cburchism, into what a
Unitarian calls a radically inconsistent
n. Consistency now seems to de
mand that our chancels and altars should
witness to officiating ministers of all de
nominations. Those of other oom
munianta expect that Liahop Brooks will
wurn ail barriers away and make this
(■ranch of the church, so far as the apos
tolic fellowship is concerned, like the
Methodist Episcopal Church, leaving the
Roman branch the only witness to apos
tolic succession. Now the practical thing
to do is to merge the P. E. Church into
the M. E. church —let tho mother go
home to her daughter."
The church Eclectic quotes the Living
h <P. X.) as follows: '-In the de
claration of unity of 1886, wo see them
(the Bishops) unanimously concurring in
tatement that both the Catholic
creeds and the Episcopacy are funda
mental to the existence of the church,
and a part of the divine depoaitum. It is
absurd to Buppose that there has been any
guch change of conviction in that vener
able body as would lend even a small
Bmall minority to challenge or deny that
Bolemn statement. And it is to be ob
served that it is an exclusive statement.
It implies that there is no room in the
church for those «ho will not accept it.''
The Eclectic says: "Well, it i-, tome
comfort to know that if that declaration
is to be controverted, its chief opponent
will not have the lower house for its
arena of battle. The Bishops cannot
much longer be a sort of 'close norpora
tion 1 or esoteric society, depending on
Hit ir 'personal influence* with each other.
li may not bea very long time before we
hear the cry of 'bad faith 1 from one side or
the other; for the rationalistic propganda
in'our church'has become a axed tact,
and a most aggressive one, as will soon
be found."
The Fnd pendent says; "The proposi
tion to change Trinity Church, Boston,
from a parish church into a cathedra] is
attracting attention, not merely because
of the interest that must attach to the
place where Phillips Brooks lias done
such noble work, but because it indicates
the hold which the cathedral idea has
gained upon the people of the United
(States of every denomination. When the
first suggestions were made tor the Cathe
dral of M. John the Divine in New York,
there was not a few who looked upon the
:t with somewhat of dread, aa Indi
cating a strengthening of the bands of
eoclesiasticism. .\s. however, th>' plan
< n kept 0.-i'ore the people, it lias
disarmed much of the opposition which
Chiefly from ignorance as to what it
:nvoived. People are teaming that
it is in ti nth very elastic and by no means
bound to the forms that have dlstin
hed it in Europe.
"Call them cathedrals, tabernacles,
what we will, officered by bishops, pres
byters, pastors, deacons, elders, or priests,
what we want and what we must nave
are people's churches, fully equipped,
and permanently provided with all the
i r> means for Christian "work; and
the first to satisfactorily solve the prob
lem will confer a lasting favor on every
branch ol the Christian church. All sue-

thedral."
The Interior (Pres. says: "in s late
number of the independent I>r. [vesCur

of the higher criticism in its relation to
the Old Testament. He shows that it de
nies the Pentateuch to be ia any specific

SACRAMENTO DAILY KECOBP-Uyioy, SATTTRPAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1 SOI.—EIGHT PAGES.
Can bo maintained ?' That reminds us of
a little story concerning a downcast land
lord, who in the days before the war kept
a hotel at the line where two States met.
It was called, patriotically, the Union
Hotel. One day a tired traveler drove
his tired horse to the door with the re
quest, 'Landlord, give my horse a good
dinner of oats, and prepare me a porter
house steak.' 'Stranger,' saia the host,
that is all right, only we don't happen to
keep any oats, and we are out of fresh
meat.' 'Well,'said the pilgrim wearily,
'at any rate, you can give my horse some
hay, and mo some fresh eggs*?' fTrutb is,
friend, we don't keep hay. and just now
we haven't any eggs.' 'Now, landlord,'
said the occupant of the buggy, looking
straight at him, 'will you be so good as to
tell me what you <h> keep?' Drawing
himself up proudly the Boniface replied,
'Yes, sir, I keep the Union Hotel.' We
shall probably be permitted to keep tho
covers of tho Bible, if not the contents."
THE SEFTON BLOOD.
It was very hot and had been ungov
erned so many generations that, to con
sider, it became a necessity with those
having connection with the Seftons. A
passionate, affeetionate,elannish race,very
headstrong, very rich, they had long been
a power in the land, notwithstanding the
characteristic of quick, ungovernable
anger. Not that Ogden Sefton had not
tried to control his fiery temper while his
wife lived—at least lie thought he had—
but if he had been less often angry, it was
rather because of her gentle influence and
tact than that he had really disciplined
himself. And when his wife died, people
said, "And now there will be trouble with
Victor."
Victor, with his handsome Byronic
head, covered by close curling black hair,
his dash and grace ami extra share of the
hot Sefton blood —it was not six months
before there was trouble.
"How dare you, sir."
Father a;id son stood facing each other
in tho handsome library, and it was
Ogden Sefton who had spoken.
"Because lam not a boy. I love Ada
Graudmont and mean to marry her."
"Ungrateful rascal, to defy your lather!
So this is your first step on coming of
age?"
"I am not obliged to sleep another
night under your roof, sir—and I will
not!"
And so Victor Sefton dashed passion
ately from his home, and did not return.
If Victor's mother had been alive!—but
there was no one to interfere with a
word between the two hot-heads.
Tho discovery that Victor was paying
court to the daughter of a man who had
given him offense was the cause of the
trouble, which increased as Victor was
approached on the subject, for he loved
tho innocent girl his lather referred to so
coldly. At the first intimation that his
son differed from him Ogden Sefton flew
into a passion. A lew hasty words, and
his handsome boy he was so proud of was
lost to him.
Victor, on passing out. had said to his
Bister that he would never return—thai he
■ing abroad. A week had passed
and Olive's dark eyes were swollen with
crying, yet not one word had her father
spoken of his secret relenting. She was
like her mother, gentle judicious, win
ning, and yet more affectionate than the
others. To Lose her mother and then her
brother broke the girl's heart.
But her swollen eyes were all the ex
pressions of her grief. She so feared her
lather in his anger, usually indulgent as
Ire was, that she dared not even name her
absent brother until he abruptly broached
the subject.
"Olive, do you know where Victor is?"
"No. lather."
"Have you heard nothing from him?"
"No, .>ir. But—father—l think he has
gone abroad."
"He had no means."
•No, sir; but he could have borrowed
money."
And as the weeks and months went by,
this conclusion was forced upon Ogden
Sefton. Victor had college friends who
were otV for London that summer—prob
ably he had gone with them. Though
cut to the heart, < Hive was right in think
ing that her father would make his in
quiries. So fiery Avas his anger that even
in his grief til- memory ofit made him
angry again, lie had lost his son. Ho
had only his daughter. And by tenderly
loving her he tried to cancel the wrong
done and relieve the secret sorrow of his
heart, lie even met Olive in the street
with Ada Grandmont, yet made no sigu.
Olive liked pretty, brown-eyed Ada,
who had been her school friend. She
had another confidant, Roland Harlow.
He was a young gentleman, reliable as
agreeable, whom everybody had conft
dence in—Ogden Sefton included, and he
very much admired olive. To this con
nection her father was not adverse.
Roland was the son of his partner in
business. His frequency at the house
made him like one of the family.
He had dined one day at Mr. Sefton's
table. There were other gentlemen pres
ent, and (>live presided at tho tablo with
the gentle dignity which made her, in
her extreme youth and beauty, very at
tractive.
It was a quiet family dinner, yet Olive
left the gentlemen half an hour to their
wine,and while the others were engaged
in a discussion, Mr. Sefton bent his head
and said in a low voice to Koland, who
sat next him:
"Watt this evening after the others
I have gone. I want to talk with you."
Roland noticed for the first timeahag
; gard, sunken look about Mr. Sefton's
s, and a look of solicitude came into
; his frank, blonde face.
It was two hours before ho was able to
say. "Now we are alone." The company
had gone, Olive had retired to her room.
They sat by the library fire.
As the young man looked at his friend
sitting in his velvet lounging chair be
fore the glowing anthracite, surrounded
on every hide by luxury, ho thought ho
had never behold a more unhappy
countenance. There were new lines in
the handsome face, and the close-curling
brown hair was whitened about the
temples.
"I have confidence in you, Roland, and
I mu>t talk to some one."
"Thank you, Mr. .Sefton. Can i help
Mr. Sefton covered his face with his
hand*. Alarmed, Roland waited. His
companion could not sit in his chair; but
ros.- and walked the lloor.
"You know- how Victor went away,
Roland. My only son! Ilia mother was
so proud of him—"
lie broke down again.
"1 may never see Victor again. But
< Hive, my little girl, she was always dif
ferent—mild and patient like her mother
-yet nu without strength of mind. I
have based all my hopes of the future on
her oi late. V.'i she—*'
"Dear Mr. Sefton. what can have gone
wrong with < Hive ?"
Roland Barlow's face was anxious
enough now.
"It is impossible for me to think any
harm of my daughter. She has over
been purity and truth itself. It is my
own remorse that makes me shrink from
Becking her confidence."
"\\ bat has happened ?"
"Night after night Olive steals from her
room and leaves the house, she is often
absent till past midnight. And she says
nothing of this nightly babit—evidently
thinks it unknown. v., v understand,
Koland, that 1 cannot force myself to be
lieve any ill of Olive. 1 will not believe
that she seeks bad company."
"No; no, indeed!"
"Then what does this moan? I have
not her confidence. [ have lost my chil
dren's confidence!" and passionate, lov
ing Osden Sefton covered his face and
went In unutterable sorrow.
**Mr. Sefton, if you asked an explana
tion of olive, I think she would give it to
you."
"No, and I have thought of this matter
until lam almost ill. One thing I am
convinced of. If Olive wishes to main
tain uoorecy regarding this matter, she
will do so. M ind, Jtf she does and I
sometimes fear 1 dare not say what ! But
it is killing me thai my child does not
trust me."
"Don't worry so. Mr. Sefton. I will
try to help you."
"llowV '
"It is a delicate matter, but I am sure
Olive does not fear me. Perhaps I can
lead her to confide in me of her own free
choice."
"God bless you, Roland !—try, try. I
would give the world to be relieved of
this anxiety!"
By a thousand ingenious but ineffect
ual ways Roland Harlow strove to sur
prise Olive's secret, bat never succeeded.
The same which was the keynote to it he
never thought to utter, and the girl was
too wrapped in her own thoughts and
feelings to observe the singularity of his.
A fortnight had gone by, when she de
clined to attend a concert with him, and
bidding him good-night in the hall a.;
cended to her room. Koland let himself
out, and, crossing the park, sat down
under the trees in the balmy spring even
ing.
The truth was, he was overwhelmed by
his thoughts, and sat racking his bruin
longer than he knew, for he was suddenly
surprised by the Bight of Olive, wrapped
iv a gray waterproof and veil, emerging
from the door of her house. She eam£
quickly down the high stone steps, was
joined at the corner of the park by Ada
Graudmont, and the two walked rapidly
away. Before he knew what he was do
ing he was following them.
Leaving the aristocratic quarter of the
city, they sought one less pretentious,
and then their step* grow slower. Arm
in arm they paced siowly along, looking
about them and talking in low tones. Be
fore the entrances of stores, theaters and
other public places, they stopped and
waited for a considerable time. At the
door of two or three private houses they
stopped and rang, but Koland dare 1 not
approach near enough to get any c lew to
their business.
They went down one side of the street.
and came back upon the other; at last
when the clocks were striking 11, return
ing home. They reached the park. \!u
Grandmont's residence being near
Olive's, the latter had but a lew steps to
go alone before the door of her house
close.l softly upon her, and soon ap
peared B light in he chamber window.
Twice Roland sought and found oppor
tunity to follow Olive in the same way.
She was always accompanied by Ada.
The temerity which enabled these
choicly bred girls to repeat this walk
night after night, in all kinds of weather,
was equaled only by the wonder o( their
doing it. They did not seem to attract
any attention, though their light gliding
steps carried them past many spots of
peril. Their manner, though observant,
was reserved. No, through all these
strange nightly jaunts Rolond never
doubted Olive's motives to be innocent —
their object pure as unknown, but ho was
lost in perplexity.
He had not yet revealed what ho had
seen to < Hive's father. He wished first to
discover more, and was sure he should,
when, on the fourth night, retracing their
steps precisely over the same route, the
girls overtook a man, and, passing with
him into one of the houses, were lost to
sight. It was rather a poor lodging
house. Here they remained for over an
hour.
The next evening they met and sought
the same house, which they entered.
Then Roland went to Mr. Sefton arid re
vealed what he knew.
"You are sure she went this way, Ro
land—down this common street—and at
this late hour?"
"^uite Bare."
"And went into this poor place—is
there now .'"'
"Yes, Mr. Sefton. Will you ring?"
Mr. Sefton rang at the door of the poor
lodging-house. A shabby maid an
swered the summons.
"You just admitted two young ladies,"
he said. "Where are they?"
"No. .3, sir; Mr. Au).erf's room, sir."
She pointed to a door down the passage,
and unceremoniously left them.
The door was evidently unintentionally
ajar, for low voices within were earnestly
talking.
"Not now, when you are sick, Victor?"
"No, not now, when 1 am sick, Ada.
You cannot say that he has ever ex
pressed ;i wish for my return."
M r. Sefton caught his breath at the two
voices.
".No, but I know father is heart-broken
at your absence, Victor, lie would give
the world if there had beeii no quarrel.
Dear brother, don't refuse! let mo tell
him you are here. Ever since Ada be
lieved .she saw you from your father's
carriage, coming down this forlorn streot,
we have searched for you with that hope
—to urge you back home. We searched
and waited so long, dear! but could not
giver you up, while Ada was so sure you
had come into one of these houses. <>h,
Victor! have you not suffered enough,
trying to gain a livelihood for which you
have no training—almost starving—ill,
now—have you not endured enough, my
dear brother, to comeback home and ask
papa's pardon for your own heat and dis
respect, forgetting his anger? If he were
hard, ho loves you " She broke down
crying.
•'He loves you, my son," adde I th<
father, coming into the room. "Let me
ask your pardon for my—"
"No, lather!" cried the poor, pale Vic
tor Sefton, springing from the bed, and
they were all crying together—all live, 1
believe, but there was no uninteresting
observer to make record.
It waa true, as < >live had said, that Vic
tor had no training for a life of poverty.
He was almost starved as a music teacher.
His first experience of the world's hard
ships had been bitter indeed.
lather and son had learned a lesson.
At lil a tut 51 years of age both had
learned the s.une, and passion no longer
dominates the Seftons. Love rules in
stead, and not one of the large and
increasing family is more dear than
the sister and daughter who brought
about the reconciliation with such
difficulty. Large, because while
Mr. Sefton had never withheld his con
sent for Olive to marry Roland, he as
willingly gave it for the union of Victor
and brown-eyed, faithful little Ada—and
the children of all rise up and call them
blessed.

A. P. Dunlop, writing from New York
City under date of August 29th, says of
the amusements of the various theaters in
the erreat metropolis: M 'Dorothy's Di
lennnu' opened the season at Manager
Dunlevy's New Park Theater on Thurs
day last, and in .spite oi many evidences
of friendliness for Miss llo.se Cogulan and
an excellent company, failed to make a
hit. The comedy has been rather freely
adapted by Leopold Jordan from the
same play by Gustavo Yon Moser which
j gave to Helen Barry 'A Night's Frolic,'
but Mr. Jordan's work is not as skillful.
The humor is at no time rollicking, nor
is this version from the excellent Ger-
I man play ingeniously contrived. The
tale is trivial, there in no real wit in the
'■ text, and even such good artists as Rose
i Coghlan. John T. Sullivan, Thomas
| Whiflen, William Redmond and Helen
Russell will be uuablo 10 whip it into
shape.
"On Saturday the Grand Opera-house
and the Third Avenue Theater throw i
open their doors, the first to 'Captain
Kar!.' the latter to 'Cruiskeen Lawn.'
'Karl'lias been put together by Sidney
K. Ellis for the starring purposes of
Charles A. Gardner, a German dialect
comedian, lately come into New York
view. Karl is a humble vintage worker
; iv Saxony and that's about ail that is new
in the play, the story being old. 'The
Cruiskeen Lawn' is a new Irish play by
Dan McCarthy, but the story is the old
Lthreadbare one <>f scheming villains and
* honest heroism as it appears on the
Emerald ss!e, with the usual mysterious
• documents, which in this play are hidden
in a whisky flank, called a 'Cruiskeen
Lawn.' Paddy Murphy was the hero of
the piece which will 'go'— as most Irish
plays will— at second class play-houses.
"The present week has been a busy
; one, four new plays having been brought
i forward, and New York must be fond of
music, for three of these productions I
were operas. This is rather a good rec
ord at this time of the year, even for the I
great metropolis, and 'the keen demand j
shown by theater-goers, crowding every
house in spite of a tropical heat and a per
fect deluge of rain, is pretty clear cvi- I
deuce that all the people do not 'leave j
town'during the summer as supposed, j
In addition to all these new things offered, ;
Charles I'roiimau opened his Twenty
third-street Theater with 'Mr. Wilkin
son's Widows,' and Hammcrstein his Co
lumbus with George Washington's 'U
and I.' The novelties on Monday were
'Fleurette' at the Standard, and 'The
Black Masque* at the Union Square; on
Tuesday,'indigo' took the place of "The
Grand Duchess' at the Casino, and on
Thursday 'The Khedive* opened Niblo's.
" 'The Black Masque' is awkwardly
constructed, deficient in tho unities, in- I
effective in climax and utterly conven
tional in both theme and dialogue. A i
quick but kindly survey reveals abso
lutely no merit that would justify the [
elaborate production given it. Frederick i
R. Giles is the unlucky dramatist, and
Edward J. Henley, the only one in the j
cast who at any time commanded serious
attention. Forfear of disastrous results,;
I wish to add very humbly that William
Muldoon and Jake Kilrain wrestled
beautifully and in their black jersey sails
and muscular development exposed, !
made the others on tho stage look si<-k.
'Fleurette 1 is an 1
words by Mrs. <'. A. Doremus and Edgar j
Smith (who does the literary patchwork
for the Casino), and music by Mrs. Emma !
H. Steiner, who personally conducted the i
orchestra. Mrs. Steiner is a remarkable
woman, and no doubt deserves g-reatered- j
it for what she has done, but she has at- !
tempted too much, and she has not had
efficient aid from her librettists. A Gou- I
nod or an Offenbach, a Wagner or a Le
coc<{, or any similarly great composer,
would be at a loss to pull such a book as
that of 'Fleurette' out of its slough of !
triviality, and Mrs. Steiner, alas! is !
neither a Gounod nor a Lecocq.
"'The Firo Patrol' is a sensational
drama in live acts, by James W. Harkins,
who locates the first two in Deadwood, !
Col., and the next two in New York. The
plot twists around two men, bosom
friends, in love with the same woman,
and one of them hunts the other pretty
vigorously. The play is well put to
gether, and its many good points aroused
to great advantage. It will no doubt bo I
very successful <m the road.
" 'Indigo' at the Casino is not a sue;- ss,
but Pauline L'Allenand, the new so- i
prano, will in a short time be as great a i
favorite as Lillian Kussell. The opera is j
bright and graceful in most of its musical ,
numbers, in which waltz movements of I
course abound. The English book by
Bdgar Smith and Max Freeman, how
ever, does not rise above the level of con- j
temporaneoua comic opera text. In spite
of very warm weather business in all the j
theaters has been good, with the single j
exception of the Garden Theater."
FIRST FAIB WEEK ATTRACTIONS.
The Australian Novelty Company,
which opens a live nights' engagement at
the Clunie Opera House, commencing j
next Wednesday, September !»th, com- 1
prises some of the most novel and inter- !
: esting features ever introduced on the |
vaudeville stage. The company has been
but a short time in this country, but has
created a profound sensation wherever it

as to show the versatility of the individual
members to the greatest extent. Among
the more prominent features may bo
mentioned Kublai Khan, in his wonder
ful exhibition of "Black Art," Moulton

Basy Fruit-Growers in a Pretty
Yolo Valley—Tancred and Its
Adjoining Farms.
TN THE STOINO OF T.AST YEAB
Kob-rt a. nnd Heal P. Barker assoetate4
themselves with William KoKay, all of Oak*
land, with a view or searching out a suitable
tooatkmm which to engage in the profitable
occupation of Iraltgrowing. After visiting
umny localities, tn.y decided on the Capay
Valley, Yolo County, and the Khodos tract at
ImnereA.
Negotiations were opened with tho (^apay
■^'alley Land Company,owning the tract ia
question. With W. H. BiUls, the Cknieral
Agent of that company, they arranged for the
purchase of about 820 acres of foothill land
Thia being more, than they had thought of
taking for their own use, they spoke to a
number of friends about it. ulth the result
that tho tract was divided am..u-j the loliow.
Ing people: H. L. llk-kok, 4o acres; \\\ r.
Barnett,2o acres; N.T.Qreatnead, 2<> acres;
Mrs. L. Qreathead, 20 acres; w. McKay, 20
acres; N. D. Barker, 20 acres; R. a. Barker,
20 acres; J. P. Urownkr, BO acres; K. H. Ha*.
Lett, 10 acres; Joseph Hark. r. 10 acn s; A. \V.
Kelly' 10 acres, and Frederick Kelly, 10
So far this had ben merely a privi
ture oi the gentlemen above named, but in
talking up the question of dividing the tend
already purchased, it was found that so many
more would like to join it than tho area of the
purchase would admit of, that it wa
{rested on all hands, -why not get some more
land and divide it up in the same wayf
Then followed the idea of a stock company to
take hold of a larger tract and arrange for tha
cultivation of the whole of it. after subdli Mug
it according to the requirements the sub
scribers, a provisional board was itemed, a
prospectus issued, and finally, on tho f.th of
June, 1890, the Western Cooperative Col
onization and Improvement Company was
duly registered and proceeded to hnslnil— .
with the following onVersj President, \vm
iam .McKay; \ ieo-l'reshi. -nt. M. I". Urown;
Directors-H. Q Ellis, Charles Brooks and
15. A. Barker; Secretary and Gteneral Manager,
Neal I). Barker; Solicitor, c. E. Hnook; Trea»
ur.r. 1 in.; National Bank Of Oakland.
The balance or the tract, :tr.i acres, was pur
chased. A contract was entered Into for the
purchase ot a large number of fruit trees,
vines, etc. This early purchase of tn
the means of saving between 98,000 and
$4,000 to the company, the prices in some
cases having more than doubled since then.
The idr;.s which the prospi stua - t forth
haw been but slightly modified and tho
progress of the company has been uninter
rupted. Those who went Into it doubting!?
have become enthusiastic, and almost all the
members arranged to set out all their lands m
fruit trees, etc., the lirst rear. Consequently
in this, the first season, sonic 10,000 trees anil
between 20,000 and 30.U00 vines will be
piantea.
The satisfactory working of this schemo has
had the effect of attracting considerable at
tention to the work of the Colon)! company,
and a number of people are now desirous of
Joining in with them. An additional Loo
acres have been added to the sixty acres
originally purchased.
For the company is predicted a very bright
future, as well as for the beautiful valley In
which their operatic:^ are conducted. How
this marvelous little garden has come to be so
long neglected is a puzzle to every one who
has visit. (1 it. but one thins is very sure, and
that is that this neglect will never again bo
felt in the valley.
The fruits set out arc mostly of the standard
vartetlw pgnehoc, apricots, Bartlett peart,
prunes, tigs, raisin grapes, etc., While along
both sides of the avenues, throughout the
tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade.
AconslderabU'lnumberol «•: ore also
being set out; quite a sulliclrnt number to
demonstrate that these iruits can be success
fully grown in the valley, about which tho
colonists appeal 1 to have no doubt, provided
proper care is given to the young trees. Neal
D. Barker, General Manage* of the company,
resides on the tract, and to his euro is to be as
cribed much of the success of the venture.
Mention should be made of tho town-site,
about which there is a pleasant innovation
which might with protlt be followed by more
ambitious places. A small park of some threo
acres has been laid out right in the center of
thf> town. This pork it is proposed to beautify
by planting in it from ttsoe to time us many
of the beauties an.l curiosities of ti. |
shrub life aa may be obtained by diligent
search ar.d a wise expenditure of money. It
Is not expected that Tuiu-red will ever be a
largo and busy city, but it is thought that it
can be made a very pleasant little place to
dwell In.
A petition has been circulated recently and
very largely signed, asking the county to ac
cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a
county road, and to build a bridge across
Cache Creek at this point, in order to give the
settlers on the cast side of the creek j.*
Tancred Station. Tho Taucred colonists ara
quite willing to give the necessary right of
way, and are very desirous of baying a bridge
there, as the colony lands extend along »joth
Bides of the stream. It is thought that it
would be a very wise expenditure ot public
money to grant them this very necessary im
provement, as the operations of such com
panies arc of widespread benefit to tho whole
county and State. The attractions and com
forts of the cities are well known, but to those
who are willing to settle on the land and show
that the country also affords attractions and
comforts and ways of making money pleas
antly, every inducement should be held forth.
The following is a list of the principal mem
bers of the Tancred Colony, with the number
of acres owned by each, ani a .act worthy of
mention is that in ench contract or deed is
sued by the Colony Company there is a pro
vision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever
be manufactured or sold on the land. The ap
parent soeeesQ o'the enterprise shows that
the idea's and plans of the coiony. as s«t forth
