OF THE FAMOUS VALLEY.
A Very Prosperous Looking Country
Land Said to Be Worth $700 per
Acre Sacramento a Favored Town
How It Got Its Name.
Sacramento, Cal.. Jan. 24. Stono
pavements become tiresome after
awhile to feet that are more accus
tomed to the yielding earth, besides
a person's view of California Is apt
to be a very lop-sided one If he spends
all his time in Frisco, delightful as
that town undoubtedly is.
The country between San Francisco
tnd Sacramento is very much of a
mixture. Tho railway runs for miles
through orchards and vineyards, or
ange and lemon trees with the fruit
still hanging on the branches, and
the traveler Is told that this fruit
land Is worth $700 an acre, un unim
proved; he Is also told some very fan
ciful yarns about its wonderful pro
ductive Qualities.
Mark Twain was once standing on
the water front at Sydney. Australia,

that the distance around the harbor,
which only measured a mile across
the entrance, -was over a hundred

ptobably be two hundred when you
measure It. so when a man listens to
some of the stories of the value and
wonderful productiveness of this re
gion, he Is very apt to agteo -with
Mark, that there are liars everywhere.
But it is a very prosperous looking
country in spots, well improved In the
way of houses, barns and fences. The
roads through the fruit districts are
sprinkled with oil. that having been
found more economical than water,
which seems to speak volumes for
the amount of dust that a Rood wind
Is capable of raising here sometimes.
Their Products,
Going from San Francisco to Sacra
mento by way of Stockton, parts of
the San Joaquin and Sacramento val
leys are passed through and a pass
ing glimpse is obtained of the various
productive industries of this part of
the state. Some of them are still ex-'
perimental for the idea of this colin
try that its mission In life was to
raise grain was for a .nng time a
deep-rooted one, but with the advent
of cheap grain, experiments were
made along other lines so very suc
cessfully, that the variety of products
grown on one farm would make the
average schoolboy dlzxy to memorize.
Here is one farm which raises apples,
crabapples, pears, cherries, plums,
prunes, peaches, apricots, nectarines.
quinces, figs, almonds, chestnuts, pe
cans, walnuts, orangey, lemons, per
simmons, pomegranates, loquats, mul-
berries, olives, grapes, currants.rasp
berrles, gooseberries, blackberries,
strawberries, besides an endless
quantities of tomatoes, cucumbers,
green peas and other vegetables.
It takes five years for an orange or
chard to mature, that is the planter
may figure on five years steady out
lay before any income is derived.
The cost of planting and cultivating
the orchard for five years Is estimat
ed at $212 per acre, so It will be seen
that the orange grower needs to be a
small capitalist to begin with, praln

And the worst of all dogmatists are
those doctors vrlio, harking back to some
old dogma 'of the schools, insist that
certain patients are beyond all medical
help, Ix-cause, forsooth, their diseases
are beyond the limited medical know
ledge of the docmatist.
"When the physicians had given me
up I was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. That state
ment, varied sometimes in form but
identical in fact, is one of the common
expressions found in the letters of those
cured by "Golden Medical Discovery."
Sometimes the statement runs; "I was
given up bv four doctors," showing a
desperate effort to find relief in local
practitioners. But however the story
begins, it almost invariably ends with
the statement, "I am perfectly cured by
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery."
Persons suffering from "weak" lungs,
hemorrhages, deep-seated cough, ema
ciation ana weakness, have been restored
to perfect health by the "Discovery."
The philosophy of the cures effected
by this marvelous medicine is not hard
to understand. Life is sustained by
food, digested and assimilated. The
' basis of health is a good appetite and a
sound digestion. In almost all cases oi
disease loss of appetite is an early symp
tom, and this is Promptly followed by a
wasting of the flesh. For some cause
the food eaten is not being converted
into nutrition and the body and its or
gans, being starved, must grow weak.
There is only one way to get strength
and that is by food. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery heals diseases of the
stomach and allied organs of digestion
and nutrition, so enabling the body to
assimilate the needed nourishment.
Thus various forms of "weakness," so
called, are cured by the "Discovery"
"weak" lungs, "weak" heart, "weak"
nerves, "weak" or sluggish liver, etc.,
because the organs are made strong by
food, which is perfectly digested and
assimilated after the "Discovery" has
healed the diseaes of the stomach and
associated organs of digestion and nu
trition. PAIS ALL GONE.

the valley are afloat. It Is still rain-
Inp, and there Is not likely to be any
farther complaint of insufficient mois
ture for some time to come. This is
the bright side or the trip; the other
elde is where the road runs through
miles of swamp and tullles where the
very roadbed on which the rails are
laid is made out of rock and gTavel
hauled there, for the purpose. Expen
sive railroading, perhaps, hut Califor
nians seem to think that the South
ern Pacific is getting all back and
through other miles of hardpan and
rocky formation as, barren looking as
anything to be found in Umatilla
county, and which recalls the Irish
man's not wholly, unnatural exclama
tion, "Be jabers, If I had been mak
ing this country, I could have made a
better Job of it"
A Favored Town,
The city of Sacramento, the capital
of the state and the county of the
same name, is situated at the Junc
tion of the American and Sacramento
rivers, and to its inhabitants Provi
dence seems to have been kind In a
variety of ways.
Chfnook salmon. weighing CO
pounds, are seen hanging In the
butcher shops, caught at their very
doors, and this morning, from the
bridge two boys were seen with a
skiff. They had a piece of telegraph
wire fastened from one of the piers
to a post on the shore, and to the
wire a number of fish lines were at
tached. The boys were drawing In
tho lines and had a smelt on every
hook. It ' does not seem to matter,
though, how fair a country is or what
the inducements are to tarry In It,
there are always some for whom the
temptation to Immigrate are stronger
and from this same bridge last night
a man took a header Into the river
and departed from a country which
to him, at least, seems not to have
been kind.
Wonderfully Productive.
The land along the river Is wonder
fully productive and rents for 20 per
acre annually. Here is one aspara
gus bed of 500 acres. The people
along the river are independent of
the railroad and can float their stuff
down the river in any old kind of
craft. The state legislature is In ses
sion here and are .discussing, among
other things, an appropriation of
$100,000 for the stamping out of bu
bonic plague If It shall be found that
it exists here, San Francisco papers
having all along strenuously dknied
Its existence, also a plan to extract
two or three million dollars from the
federal eovernment which that insti
tution has been owing to the state of
California since some- time In tne
sixties. Senator Shortridge, a gen
tleman of somewhat humorous ten
rienev. was sneaking on the subject
and seemed rather Inclined to advise
the state to sell out Its claim at a
considerable reduction for cash if It
got a chance, because, said the sena
tor, "my experience with the state
of California has been that It will
put off the payment of Its own debts

Why Called Sacramento,
The Padres who first discovered
this valley and the river running
through it, were so impressed with
Its appearance that they named it the
Sacramento, after tho holy sacra
ment, and he who takes the trouble
to climb Into the dome of the capftol
building and views the picture to be
seen from that eminence, Is not apt
to dispute the correctness of the Pa
dres' title, and what a picture of
a prosperous city, of wide winding
river, whose course can be followed
for miles, of orchards, grain fields and
mountains is spread out hero, and
now surely it, rocaiiB mi "wer pic

So to the Jews old Canaan stood
