The states ami territories of the Paci
fic const are receiving a booru this year
that has not been equaled since the ilnya
of '49. The pursuit of gold will draw
men anywhere, and a statement to the
effect that the metal may be picked up
or dug out of tho earth in its virgin
purity, with very little trouble, will at
tract multitudes to the spot.. It was
such a state of affairs that attracted to
the coast thousands of men in the year
referred to and subsequent years ; but
the attraction of to-day is not gold, in
the sense of forty years ago. They are
coming because of the salubrious cli
mate, the productive soil and the gen
eral heaHhfulness of the country ; they
are coining now to build up homes to
live and die here. Then they came ex
pecting to make a fortune in a few
months and return to the scenes of
their childhood to spend the remain
der of their days in peace; now they
come to build cities, and factories,
and workshops, and to tickle the soil
that it may laugh a harvest; to create
a new community and expand the do
minion of our grand and free govern
ment. Progressive and wide-awake
towns will now shoot ahead of their
more slothful neighlors and "knock
the persimmon." It behooves us to
make the future prospects as attractive
as possible, consistent with the truth,
that out of the thousands of people
peeking new homes, some may lie in
duced here to alight and here to build
their nests.
The people of Texas are to vote on a
prohibitory amendment next August.
A self-constituted committee has re
cently been inviting prominent demo
crats to attend a meeting on the 30th
for the purpose of calling a democratic
convention in May to oppose prohibi
tion. Bcnator Reagan has made a reply
to such Invitation. After picturing the
wretchedness and dishonor to be en
countered in every community result
ing from the use of liquor, the distin
guished senator says: "I must express
my regret that any effort has been made
to make a party question of prohibition,
and especially do I regret that demo
crats would seek tc identify that great
and historic party with the fortunes
and fate of whisky shops, drunkards
and criminals. AYe now have an oppor
tunity to promote sobriety, thrift and
happiness without endangering the suc
cess and the perpetuation of the prin
ciples of the democratic party, and I
ani in favor of doing so, and at the
coming election shall so vote, not be
cause I believe prohibition is the most
effective remedy which could be adopt
ed by those evils, but because it, in my
judgement, favors a policy which will
do much for the improvement of the
condition of our people, pecuniarily
and socially, and towards placing them
on a higher and better plane of civilization.
STATE NEWS.
Referring to the Haddock murder,
the Portland World says: "The trial
of John Arensdorf, the brewer, at Sioux
City, Iowa, for the murder of Rev.
(J to. C. Haddock, over a year ago, is
going on and commands great atten
tion throughout the whole country,
but particularly in that state, where it
is recognized that no matter who act
ually shot Mr. Haddock, the crime was
the result of concerted plotting against
him by the saloon and brewery men of
Sioux City, their deep-seated animos
ity having been engendered by the ac
tive part taken by him in prosecuting
violators of the prohibitory law. The
tragic death of Mr. Haddock has had
more powerful influence in closing sa
loons and curtailing violations of the
law since that oceurrance than all else
combined."

San Francisco, April 20. Coal im
porters are now feeling the effect of the
corner in the wheat market. Altough
freight on cereals to England has lneii
reduced to 20 shillings, t.hlpa In the
harbor cannot get cargoes, owing to the
high prices for wheat. It was formerly
the custom for vessels to take wheat to
Europe anil return with a load of coal,
but as there Is no foreign demand for
wheat at the existing exorbitant llg
nres, and as vessels cannot a (lord to j-o
one way without a cargo, no European

Mr. C. 1j. Smith, in a lecture to the
farmers In Moorhea-I, Minnesota statetl
that (i,i00,mpoui d of hutter of the
product of lvs soll for nn averapt of
six and one-fourth cent ior pound.
He stated that he ha wnt out two
hundred Inquires anions farmers in
Minnesota asking what wan the yearly
average product of hutter jer cow, and
found hy tho replis that it wiw uUml
one hundred pounds per anv. SupjKe
he pot thiity cents er pound for it,
which was a hiph average, the product
of each cow was only thirty dollars.
Xow, he claimed that it costs not less
than thirty-six dollars a year to keen a
cow. Here was a direct l-s of six dol
lars per head on each cow that did not
produce over one hundred pounds of
(utter a year. Hut if we improve our
stock and keep cows that produce two
hundred pounds of hutter Instead of
one hundred pounds, the product
amount to sixty dollars a vear and
leaves a profit of twenty-four dollars
per head. He stated that Holmes' and
McKinstry's cows average twelve
pounds a week for forty weeks in the
year, or four hundred and eighty
IKMinds per head. These cows wen
profitable. Common stock, kept in a
common manner, as is customarv
among ordinary farmers, were not pro-litabla.

Food From the Earth.
The chemistry of the earth requires a
year to produce "bread. All food bread
and meat and fruit. in fact comes
from the elements stored by od in the
earth, air and water. Edison thinks he
has discovered how, Instead of letting
Dame Nature occupy a year in the col
lecting of these elements he will make
all food within an hour by combining
these elements organically. His meat
compounds, for instance, are claimed
to be formed by exposing the three ele
ments in a red hot state to nitrogen gas
though using different flavors, which
he gets also from the earth. "I can
make wine, and havemadeit," he says,
" with New Jersey cart h and water t hat
no man can tell from Chateau Yquem."
Edison is reported to have further re
marked that "no change of food is con
templated. Every man can have food
of the kind to which he Is accustomed
or which he prefers. It will be as easy
to produce cabbage as oranges, or pork
as partridges. We shall actually pro
duce these very thinps but in a new
form. It will le cabbages that have
never felt the rain, and pork and part
ridges that have never leen alive. We
merely take a short cut and snatch the
food from the earth, w ithout giving it
the trouble of growing. It will lack
i filier, which is the only perceptible dif
i fvrance.
