Journeying southward from the San Joa
quin valley by tbe Southern Pacific Rail
road over the Tehachapi mountains and
through the cactus-covered Mojave desert,
little of importance is noticeable until the
vicinity of Los Angeles is reached. Very
appropriately the " City of the Angels " is
situated in a paradise, or what seems to tho
traveler to be such, after an introduction
from the desert. To give a detailed de
scription of the most noteworthy features
of this section would be impossible in a
single letter, and the writer will. only at
tempt to tell briefly what hesaw'in one
corner of it, Pasadena, situated, as iui In
di- -. name implies, at the " crown oi* the
rail "of San Gabriel. The town of Pas
adena is located seven miles east of Los
Angeles, amidst thousands of acres of
orchards, vineyards and orange groves, and
lies under the shadow of the rugged Sierra
Madre mountains. The settlement em
braces several thousand acres, aud roads
half: concealed under the over-arching
branches of shade trees lead one to Ihe
town or from it through
Tin: ENVIUON3 OF PASADENA,
Among immense vineyards and citrus
groves, where the golden fruit hangs in
tempting clusters from the leafy branches.
Nearer the town most of the places are
small, and are kept in as perfect a state of
tilth and as free from weeds as a flower
garden. The residents arc mainly Eastern
people, who have come to southern Califor
nia to escape the less hospitable climes be
yond ihe Rocky mountains, and as they
came with means, elegant homes were built
and the improvement of the land immedi
ately begun. It. was not many years a.o
that the San Gabriel valley was "like hun
dreds of others in southern California— dry,
dreary and uninviting. And even after the
conversion of the valley land from un
fenced pastures to groves of semi-tropical
fruits began; the barren, slotting mesas that
ski.- the base of the mountains, wiiere now
are some of the most beautiful places on
the Pacific coast, were considered to be
worthless for any and every species of
farming. Water" for irrigation was scarce,
the depth to the first water-bearing sub
stratum beneath tho surface was great, and
th- sandy soil drank up moisture like a
sponge. The Sierra Madre range is not so
well wooded as the Sierras farther north,
and the .-ttr-.i'-iia is.uinf; from it are small.
few of them living through the dry season.
It was found necessary to
UTILIZE EVERY DROP OF WAT-IE
Procurable. Instead of digging ditches in
the porous soil, by which the greater part
of the water would have been lost by pcr
cokuion, small conduits, lined with cement,
were laid on the surface, and later iron
pipes were buried in the ground, ami the
most pc-ri'eet and economical system of
supplying water to the soil inaugurated
that has ever been dcvi.cd. Main pipes
extend in various directions through the
district to be watered, and from thee
smaller ones conduct the water to evciy
farm, orchard or home. No water is
wasted in this way by evaporation or perco
lation, and all is applied directly to the
land to be benefited. The first cost ol* pre
pari for the employment of this system
is heavy, but it is found to be cheapest in
the end, for the amount of water saved is
in itself enough to cover the extra expense
within a few year-'. Piping of various
substances that cost less than iron was
tried, and although it worked very well on
1.-.. . ground, on sloping ground, like
that ol Pasadena, the pressure was too
great', and invariably caused the bursting of
the pipe. Tho source of supply is a small
arroyo, which; in seasons of small rainfall;
fails to perform its full duty. To provide
against such a contingency, some large
cieuegus, or marshy places, near the arroyo
were cleaned out and a heavy steam pump
planted there to force the water into
A LARGE CEMENT-LINED RESERVOIR
On the mesa, which also receives tho water
from the stream when the supply therein
is sufiicient. This is tl.e source from which
the water is distributed in the mains. In
the valley of the Southern Ban Joaquin, the
most important irrigating section of Cali
fornia, it is calculated that a stream run
ning one cubic foot of water per second
will be sufficient for 160 acres of new land;
where land has been irrigated for a few
years, the water will perform a greater
duty. At Pasadena the same amount would
thoroughly wet, by the system there em
ployed, 500 acres of laud; in other words,
would make productive -40 acres more
than the same stream in the ■cat valley
further north — land that would otherwise
be only fit for pasturage; and inferior for
that purpose. But when sufficiently moist
ened to admit of cultivation, there is no
part of the State where a greater variety of
fruits, vegetaoles and farm products may
be grown. In evidence one has only to

well-known »___!»»!» fr,I '' s common to
Northern California: tbegroTMOf orange.

I rolls its spine-fringed covering fold by fold,
while the seasons conic and go; of the fern
clusters from the temperate zone, shaded
by the long drooping plumes of the banana
from the torrid. Every turn in the street,
aveDre or pathway discovers charming
bits of originality and exhibitions of ex
cellent taste. Pasadena is proof that its
tio_ul_tion is prosperous, industrious and
intelligent. '• By their works ye 5" way
know them." So commodious a library
building ami lecture hail would not exist
in t. young community if the people were
less intelligent and prosperous; the records
would not show that m ten years there
have not been as many cases of all kinds in
the local Justices Court if the people were
less industrious. The town ha:, no saloons,
till idlers and no crime. \'\> tti the time of
I the writer's visit there had been but
one criminal proceeding before the Justice
of the Peace — for a petty offense
that would not cause a moment's comment
elsewhere in the West. East of Pasadena;
i;. the San Gabriel valley, are other towns
and settlements whose future is promising,
but some of them, at lower altitudes, are
situated where the citrus fruits, which are at
present the most remunerative, do not
thrive well. The water supply is limited,
and those places nearest the mountains ex
haust the full amount obtainable from
streams and springs.
AT ONTARIO,
A growing place, beautifully laid out, water
is secured hy tunneling into the mountain.
Tho experiment was a costly one, but
proved successful, and a permanent
supply, which promises to be ample when
the tunnel is driven further under the
range, was obtained As at Pasadena, it is
distributed through a system of iron pipes
to all parts of ihe settlement for irrigation
and other purposes. There arc other
smaller tunnels in the mountains along tbe
northern side of the valley, and also a num
ber of basins or reservoirs lined with
cemont, for storing wate .during the rainy
season for summer use. Apricots, peaches
and prunes are largely grown in this sec
tion, as they succeed with lees moisture
than the orange or lemon. Further to the
eastward, in San Bernardino county, and
seven miles from the Southern Pacific Rail
road, south from Col ton, is
RIVERSIDE,
Only less charming than Pasadena because
less pleasantly situated. The climate, too,
.is warmer than at the latter place, which
enjoys the influence of the ocean breezes
.before being deprived of their moisture and
freshness by passage over a wide, verdure
less region. In other respects Riverside is
tho more at tractive place. It is in a
little valley surrounded by rocky knobs
and treeless slopes, and the culti
vated portion embraces between 5,1*K5
and 000 acres. Fourteen years ago the
land might have been bought for a song.
Two irrigation canals were dug, and settle:
lticnt and cultivation followed. An it Pasa- .
deua, the land was bought by wealthy peo- •
pie, and tbe improvement of the place ad
vanced rapidly. -■•-. iaid oui in
square blocks of equal size, bounded by
avenues running at right angles, tho One to
the other. The colony lots art. usually of
ten or twenty acres area, but a few cover
forty acres." Some are smaller. All
are" made to support vineyards of the
leading varieties of ... ...... or or
chards of peach, apricot, almond, olive,
orange, lemon, lime, lip: and other fr nt
trees. The first three fruits do not bear so
well or so regularly as in other parts of the
State, but the others grow to perfection.
The citrus trees are not iiflectecl with the
black smut like those nearer the coast, and
the leaves are bright and the fruit golden
and cleanly and Teady for the tabic when
plucked from the tree.
THE HOMES O? THE TKOTLE
Are elegant and comfortable, and sur
rounded by beautifully-ornamented gar
dens. Fences are an unknown quantity.
Carefu!!y-trii— mod hedges of pomegranate;
osage orange and cypress skirt ihe side
walks and form tho dividing line between
the lols of neighbors. Everywhere is man
ifested a desire to plcasethe cyo, and every
where the effort has been a success. But
Riverside's principal charm is Magnolia
avenue, passing through the settlement in
ii straight line for eight miles, a wide, well
kept drive, divided in tho middle by a row
of pepper trees, and lined on cither side
'by other rows of eucalyptus, cypress,
magnolia; pepper and palm, between which
and the hedges bordering the groves and
gardens extend leaf-shaded sidewalks
from end to end of the avenua. Travel
from many lands have declared that the
world lias nothing to rival it; and certainly
it admits of comparison with nothing that
the writer has ever seen elsewhere.
PBOrUCEn BY IRRIGATION.
Like other charming spots in Southern
California; Riverside owes its prosperity to
irrigation, and although water is scarce,
the system of conveying and distributing
it is wasteful 'in the extreme.
The present supply is ordy suffi
cient to irrigate about 6,00. acres,
and, although there is v large area of laud
that might he provided with wafer and
made as productive is the best, one-half of
the volume in the two main ditches is al
lowed to sink and be lost by pe: eolation
before the settlement is reached. The part
that remains is oarefully husbanded, and
a. stream running a cubic foot per second
irrigates 300 acres. By employing a'sys
tem similar to that obtaining at Pasadena,
Riverside's water supply could be made to
irrigate 15,000 acres. Water rights in this
settlement _re valued at the rate of .1.0.
per miner's inch, or $50,000 per second
100t — i. c., a volume that discharges one
cubic foot each os._-.nd — - _m! no
one possessing a water right cares to sell
at that price. At a like rate of valuation
the canal properties of the San Joaquin
valley would be bonanzas to the owners.
The "largest of these, with a capacity
for 1,300 per second feet, would, if made
to carry that quantity, be worth
the immense sum of $65,000,000,
and would, after a proper system were once
established, furnish an abundant supply of
water for 000,000 acres of land. But water
is a scarce article in the almost timberless
mountains and the dry sandy val
leys of the extreme southern part
of the State, _net will always
he required to accomplish its maximum
amount of duty,' and consequently be held
at the higheet figures. A miner's inch of
water at Rivers is considered to be as
valuable as an acre of land, for without
the former the latter is ... worth lit
tle more than the original Government
price. Unimproved land .sells for $200 to
..100 per acre, the price depending upo;i Ihe
situation as regards the chance of securing
sufficient water for irrigation. Improved
land sells at $760 to $1,200 per acre, and
pays an annual net profit of ten per cent.,
and often more, on that valuation.

A_t___b, May 26 153-5.
Because Carson is its capital, r.nd because
of the mining excitement at Virginia City,
before the bottom fell out of the bonanzas,
those two towns ar. best known of" any in
the Silver State, but Reno? Just within its
western herder, is to-day ing more busi
ness than any town in Nevada. Not on
home capital, however. Its location at the
mouth of a successive series of mountain
valleys leading northwest brings to its
doors nearly all the trade cf northeastern
California! The part of California that pays
tribute to this town is one comparatively
.... Some years ago, during the
litlle unpleasantness between Captain Jack
and General Canby's troops, a few newspa
per reporters described at length the lave,
beds wherein was located the Modoc war.
None of the climatic, agricultural, grazing
or other advantages were noticed, hence an
idea has gone forth that this corner of the
State is worthless and given over to cavort
ing Indians. Let me undeceive you,- as
several years passed in watching its
development : pare mo to speak
understandingly. Modoc county covers
nn area equal to he States of
Delaware and Connecticut combined.
The lava beds are conveniently
placed by kind nature in one remote cor
ner, toward which none of 'the county's
business is directed, and comprise but a
few hundred acres. Though at present re
mote from railroad transportation, stage
lines operate iniall directions, bringing
daily mail and life's conveniences.
THE PRIKCIPA- ROUTE.
Eastern travelers leave the Central Pacific
at Reno, Nevada, and take siege for Cedar
ville, the county metropolis. The inland
trip will cover about twenty-eight hours'
time and twenty dollars in coin. There are
numerous stage stations on route, where
one can rest over and '• ait for the next
stage. Residents of tbe county travel by
their own conveyance, camping or stopping
at night at ranchers' houses ; and the semi
yearly rides to Reno are pleasant enough to
be always looked forward to -is a family
holiday. Impoited supplies are hauled by
huge freight learns for distribution among
various merchants of the county. Of
course, that brings prices higher thairwhen
accessible to steam transp irtation, but
marketable produce and labor are prop'^
tiohatelv high and equalize expenses. iTi
ay el t..rou^li many States I have ever
seen a place where women earned better
pay and treatment than here. The large
surplus of unmarried ranchers/stock men
and " cowboys" supply work and good pay
for seamstresses. To combine heal th, com
fort and economy in an attractive home re
quires that housework shall engage taste,
intelligence and hard work with head and
hands. Perhaps not because their abilities
ere better appreciated, but because thereare
not enough women to go around, their
wages for housekeeping here are well pro
portioned to their services. A good work
ing housekeeper is paid from twenty
thirty dollars a month "and keep," which
is more money than most farmers' wives
get for, their own use. The special advan
tages of our county for homes aro these:
first, we invite immigration and eagerly
extend to newcomers, not the empty, but
the helping hand of good fellowship.
Strangers who come with good-natured de
termination to he "of us," find kind inter
est and practical assistance .known to
old settled, warped anddried-up communi
ties. We do not claim that Modoc county
i- a Paradise, but we ■!•- claim that it offers
a far more agreeable place of residence hy
moderate climate.

ple who havealways lived in prairießtatcß
cannot comprehend the cnann of life in
the mountains. Prairies present so little
variety that there is not! ; about them to
whieli" the mind attaches itself. This is
proven by the history of immigration. The
Mississippi valley was tilled by coast
Italians; Germans, Irish and English from
manufacturing towns. These same people's
descendants comprise a large part of Cali
fornia*, immigrants. The mountaineers of
Switzerland, the Highlanders of Scotland,
French and Spanish hillsmen, live md die
at home. The mountains are ever chang

views present themselves at every turn
to charm the eye. By being secluded
in these valleys, away from' th
hurry and bustle of large towns, th
mountaineer leads a life of dashing, free
and easy independence that enlarges one's
ideas and enables one to see life with wide
views. And why not, when the mind is in
continual contemplation of great objects?
an it be thai they do not unconsciously
influence us to noble aspirations to gener
ous deeds and cheerful lives?
outlook AND O-TOKTU-UTY.
In : .84 the population of this county was
5,600 ; its area is also 5,600, giving each in
habitant a square mile in which, to spread
himself. New England, on a soil far leas
able, with little variety of produce or oc
cupation, with an extreme and suddenly
changeable climate, supports 121 people to
a mile. It is only twenty-five years since
any settlers came into tho county, and a_
we" have never been advertised when com
pared with southern California, and have
10 railroad connections, we are pardonably
proud that we arc receiving more of tb
fate recurring tide of immigration than any
county bordering on the San Joaquin or
Sacramento rivers.
Aside from reasons aforesaid our county
attracts because there are no extensive
tracts of land kept out of market by specu
later.*. Valley lands and foothills were
long ago taken up by actual settlers, but
scattered through the mountains arc hun

green by their ceaseless flow. Warner
mountains cut the country into two parallel
valleys, with tho basin of Goose lake
forming another valley that extends into]
Oregon. Some Blight difference in altitude
exists between them, bat a few hundred
feet up or down are not worth mentioning]
when the average elevation is _,COO feet. >
That is for the' valley plains only. The;

up to Goose I.ake valley past Oiegrowingj
towns of Davis Creek ami Willow Ranch, j
The lower road leads to Ihe county scat, i
Altttras, fifteen miles toward the valley j
center, and Adin. Adturas is divided by j
the north fork of Pit river, and furnishes
supplies to the largest sheep ranches in :
ujioer California. te are in Warm Spring j
valley now, so named from a boiling spring
ten miles 'from town. Somebody will
erect a pavilion out there ere long, and
convert the curious spring into a pleas- j
ant resort. The water being slightly
sulphurous is of little benefit to campers,'
but will boil eggs hard in three minutes, i
At such an al'itude this is an intense heat, i
A creek carries off surp'-us waters that aro j
still too hot io touch and send up clouds of
steam at live miles distance. Large bands j
of cattle en route fur market pass this j
place. Drivers try in vain to restrain them !
from tilling to the spring or creek, but;
never have any trouble with cattle that, j
have once been there. They remember i
their scalded noses. On the western slope 1
most trade goes t.i Red Bluff, Cal. Four j
days are consumed in driving down the
steep grades. Enormous loads of wool are
brought out every fall, but returning trains
Carry only light loads of merchandise, j
lied Bluff is not quite two hundred feet
above sea level ; Alturas and Adin are
nearly six thousand. This route is amid
some of the grandest mountains of the
State,
ia"3OF.D .'.:•: _ .:": '.C
In its views. It passes the junction of two
large streams where one may view the
spectacle of Fall river tumbling over a
precipice of IHO feet into Pit river. The I
vaunted "_._n__ac power" is a tallow
candle to an electric light waterfall like
that. A visitor to Modoc county should
always enter via Reno] as that route is mo
notonous and easy, but after getting some- j
what toughened by life on the frontier, I
don't fail to go out by Adin and Pall River
|; : : raonucTß cr btODOC COUNTY.
Pioneers came into this country merely
with a view to finding stock-raising acces
sories. They budded better than they
knew. Horses, cattle, sheep, Angora goats
find frequent streams, rich native grass,
wide range, long, cool summers, short mild
winter-. raise themselves and carry their
own value to market. Other exports are
wool, fowlsr barley, cheese, butter, hides,
dry and fresh fruits. Grown on foothills'
sunny slope, fruits get just enough cold
weather to give them a superior flavor to
I that grown ou the continual heat of the
plains. Prunes, pears, berries of all
kinds, cherries, apples, grapes and peaches
are stand-bys. Semi-tropical fruit- cannot bo j
grown for profit above the Sacramento
valley. Almost every man has grown
rich who came to this country when it,
open twenty years ago. They serve
small credit, as wealth was here, and
naturally gravitated to them. Their for
tunes wore made on live stock.
WELL-KNOWN NAMES.
When there were not a hundred people
all told in the county there came riding in
from lleno one day a sturdy, good-looking
Chap who, for a long time was dubbed
" Hullo Young Feller." He had not quite
$:"> in his pocket and owed 510 for the
bronco and saddle under him. He took
up a valley claim, gradually got hold
of a few head of stock, took care
of them, and now is taxed on nine
boys and $2_),000 worth of property.
He never thinks it necessary, in reciting his
experiences, to state whether he paid for
the mustang, as all through upper Califor
nia be. is railed " A mighty square man ii
Billy Hudspeth."
In 1865 two young men met at Red Bluff,
scraped together nearly $-1,000 and began
merchandising at Cedarville. One h°s led
a life of strict integrity, far as known. One
■ took to politics and was sent to the Legis
lature, but afterwards reformed and became
as honest as usual, and both enjoyed
tho entire confidence of the com
munity. In fifteen years they put* their
mercantile business in other hands and re
tired to the more quiet business of bank
ing. Now they aggregate $400,000. and
wherever it is known, the firm name, Greas
ier & Bonner, is as good as the greenbacks.
James Hornbeck lit Eagleville, Jake
Sharp, Jake Bidner, Jesse Hieronymous,
John Russell, J. B. Whittaker, N. B. Rine,
the Dorria brothers, and dozens of others,
are names of well known rich men who
started with little or nothing. To be sure,
they bought land at Government rates, but
even at private purchase property can al
ways be bought for less in a new than in
an old county. It is a question of
only a few years when soir,*. railroad |
company will look o^t a route !
across this part of the ijtate a. a con
necting link between, the Central Pacific '■
and Oregon Short Inline. Of all California's I

-O_E OF lIKR CU3IOSITIEB.
Unqnestionably the oldest man in this [
State reside, below Cedatville, and ia an i
example of the longevity given by this !
healthful region; He forgot his nnine i
years ago; or at least piofessed to, and no*
one of this generation ever heard it. jlur
ing the early history of Sacramento valley j
he wes an old man living alone in the tales; |
everyone called him "Dad," and at j
]a._ Tule Dad, and now he knows none j
other. He has a h: ria.ll farm; is .stiii in ac- 1
tive health, and earns a good living by j
poultry rawing. He voted for tiic Lament—] j
Andrew Jackson ou that '.:-'-' i
candidacy, and ior every Democratic ires- j
identiai aspirant since^ Who would not be a
Democrat if they could live to 114 years bid, |
with r. fuir prs..sjiect of continuation ? Tula ;
Dad's recollection of p.t._ events corrob- i
orates his frani :\zo. lie h;_) followed the
frontier across the continent, and thinks
people are almost too thick hero. Ke is a |
human o::e-horae shay, and, seeming to
have no petty ailments, will probably coi
apss as did that famous vehicle.
Along the county's et-sli.-ni cide arc three
oblong salt lakes." On their margins are
numerous geysers, Some of these boil up
spasmodically, throwing water bud steam !

Mii.K Dirt. — Mil i: .hoi „_ enter largely
into the diet of children. It contains caso
ina, or flesh-foncing material^ cream und
sugar, which are heat producers ; minora'
salts, for the hony structure ; and water, as
n solvent for till the other materials neoes- j
Bary in nntrition. It Should be i-3ed with
discretion; however; not drun„ immoder
ately, but taken slowly cj a food; after the
pattern given by nature. Milk as taken is
v fluid, but p.r. soon as it meets the aci.i of
tho gastric juice it is changed to a Boft,
curdy, cheese-like substance, arid then
must bo digested; and the stomach is over
tasked if too much be taken at once. A
i_n;e glass of mi!_, swallowed suddenly,
will form in th stomach a lump of dense, j
cheesy curd, which may even prove fatal to ]
a weak stomach. '-'-. i . the. action of the i
stomach this chec'iy mass will turn over
and over like a heavy weight; and, a. tho
gastric juice can only at/tack its surface, it
digests very slowly. ii': this same milk, |
taken (lowly, or with dry to.st, iip;ht roils,
or soft, dry porridge, forms a porous lump
through which the gastric juice ee.n easily
pass, and which break- np every time trie j
stomach turns it over Milk should be
slightly sailed, and eaten with breadstuff?,
or sipped by the spoonful. Cow's milk
produces less heat than human milk ; a
child would grsw thin upon it unless a lit
tle sugar were aided. Wheat-flour has
such an e_ce_s of heat-producing material
a? would fatten a child unduly, and should
have cow." milk i led to it to re-dace its
fattening power;
