Dan. is a whole-souled, accommodating gentleman and knows how to entertain guests We can return the compliment of our cotemporary the Vidette, for his pretty notice of the Daily Reporter in no better way than by saying that from his position as a mounted senti nel of this lovely valley he has fine opportunity for judging upon which side the jewels are. The plan of giving the Indians land in severalty instead of to the tribes in reservation, thus creating an independ ent nation to be protected and guarded against in every reservation, is work ing well, as the Indian asks for a paper title to his land, and with that in his possession he has some guarantee that the land he improveswill not betaken from him. “Say, Matilda, have you tasted the new tea that A. J. Apperson has just got into his store?” ‘No. Is it good?" “Good! Well, I should just say so. I shall never buy anything else, and I only wonder I did not know it before. Why, its flavor is delicious, and a cup of it does me more good when I am tired out than any tea I ever tasted.” “ I must get some of it." “ Do, and mind you can only get it at Apper- son’s, it was imported direct to this town by himself.” Six years ago, says a New York Sun dispatch of the 8th, Rev. W. H. Harrison predicted that the south At lantic coast would be visited by severe earthquakes in August, 1886.^ He fur ther predicted that at no distant date after the shocks on the Atlantic coast the city of San Francisco would be to tally destroyed. He alleged his pre dictions were made on scientific calcu lations. And nqw the people of San Francisco are anxious, as they have suffered what is locally called “ earth quake weather” for the past two days. On Tuesday the thermometer regis tered only one degree short of the hot test weather ever known. Former hot spells have been followed by earth quakes, so there seems rational cause for uneasiness.
