The buds on some of the early-bearing vines have commenced swelling, and should the coming week or two be warm, the buds will be far enough advanced to be in danger from frost, should that dreaded April visitation appear this winter. If the cool weather would continue a week or two, it would suit the people in this bailiwick very well. The item copied into the Gazette from a Kern county paper, in regard to alfalfa growing luxuriantly on soil so impregnated with alkali that no other crop could be raised on it, is said to be misleading. It has been found that alfalfa will grow very well on alkali soil the first year from the seed, but as it gets older and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil, the alkali kills them and the crop dies. It may be set down as a fact that alfalfa will not grow on alkali soil. The common pepper tree, which from its great size and beauty receives the admiration of visitors here, is a native of South America, and is known botanically as schinus molle. The question has been asked us a dozen times whether it served any other purpose than that of shade tree. It is stated in a newspaper paragraph that in Chile an aromatic wine is distilled from its berries, and a dentifrice is also manufactured from the white gum which exudes from its branches. We were shown the other day by Mr. F. A. Gates a small can of sugar which had granulated from syrup made from the Minnesota Early Amber cane. This sample he has sent to the refinery in San Francisco, for the purpose of learning what they can afford to pay fer it in large quantities. We will duly publish their reply when it is received. The sugar is in the same "mush" condition on the Sandwich Islands sugar when shipped Governor Perkins has signed the Revenue Bill, but he accompanied his approval with a message in which he pointed out as "manifestly unjust and inequitable" those provisions relating to the taxation of savings banks deposits. He expresses the hope that the Legislature will take prompt measures to remedy the wrong. The following very accurate synopsis of the bill is taken from the Sacramento Record-Union: WHAT PROPERTY IS TAXED.—All not exempt under the laws of the United States, and except growing crops and governmental property. WHAT IS PROPERTY.—Moneya, credits, bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other matters and things real, personal and mixed, capable of private ownership. Real estate is possession, ownership and all claims to possession of lands, and includes mines, quarries and timber, and all rights and privileges appertaining; also all forms of securities for which land may stand pledged. Real estate and improvements are separately assessed. IMPROVEMENTS.—All things affixed upon or artificially growing on land. PERSONAL PROPERTY.—All things not embraced within the definition of reality. VALUATION.—Assessable value of property is that at which it would be taken in payment of a solvent debt. CREDITS SUBJECT TO TAXATION.—They are unsecured solvent debts. In case of banks, it is not required to show debts in detail or to whom owing. DEBTS TAXABLE.—They are unsecured liabilities. CAPITAL STOCK.—Capital stock of corporations in the State is assessable at its market value to individual stockholders after deducting the value of property assessed to the corporation of which the capital stock is representative. Stock of corporations outside of State is assessable at its market value to individuals. CULTIVATED AND UNCULTIVATED LAND Shall be assessed equally. [Note. The law is silent as to whether the standard value by which the equality is to be reached shall be that of the cultivated or the uncultivated lands.] MORTGAGE INTEREST.—Mortgages and deeds of trust are taxable as an interest in Correspondence THE LIGHTHOUSE. The Woman of the Period—Farming on the Sea-Coast. From the salt works (of which I wrote last week) to the lighthouse is nine miles by land, but if the sinuations of the coast are followed (by boat), it is just fifteen of 'em. The light is a revolving one, showing alternately white and red every ten seconds. The white light can be seen twenty-five or thirty miles away; the red one eighteen. The glass part of the lantern is three feet high, and revolves by clock-work. The weight differs (but it was eighty pounds the day we saw it), and is attached to a cord eighty feet long, and runs down, down through little circular trapdoors with iron lids like dinner-pail covers, towards the ground. The cord is never allowed to unwind its entire length. The slight clicking of the clock work is the only sound to be heard as the great lens, upheld by brass wheels, revolves upon its horizontal plate—the closest proximity of the ear to the little lantern utterly failing to detect the slightest sound. A new burner has laterly been placed in the lantern, so that kerosene is now used, which, it is claimed, gives a stronger, clearer light than the oil formerly burned. The burner is removed at midnight and another put in; the clock being wound at the same time, although it runs ten hours with one winding without running entirely down. The lantern is sixty feet from the top of the bluff, which is just one hundred feet above sea level. "Can we descend to the beach here?" "Oh yes." "How shall we go down, and where?" "Just here at the foot of the lighthouse, those who possess a preponderance of romance descend by means of a rope; a few rods farther on you will find a path leading right down to the beach." "All right, we will go where we do not need a rope." So valiantly and cautiously—yes, very cautious—we begin the descent over crumbling We were shown the other day by Mr. F. A. Gates a small can of sugar which had granulated from syrup made from the Minnesota Early Amber cane. This sample he has sent to the refinery in San Francisco, for the purpose of learning what they can afford to pay fer it in large quantities. We will duly publish their reply when it is received. The sugar is in the same "mumah" condition as the Sandwich Islands sugar when shipped from the plantation to the refinery, and it would seem as if it ought to bring as good a price in San Francisco. Although the Island sugar is admitted free of duty, the difference in the cost of transportation, in favor of growers here, would give them an advantage over Hawaiian planters. Farmers here are very hopeful of this industry, and the cane will be planted quite extensively this season. There is another of the American States which, as a producer of oranges, will soon distance all other competitors upon the Western Continent. California, taking its name from the Spanish words "caliente fornalla," or hot furnace, is said to be unrivalled in the deep black alluvial soil of its valleys, and in the suitability of its climate for the production of fruit of all kinds. If travelers are to be credited, Los Angeles, in Southern California, will, sooner or later, be the centre of the richest orange-growing district in the United States. The number of oranges which are said to hang upon a single branch of the trees in and about Los Angeles surpasses belief, and the quality, moreover, is finer than that of any fruit of the kind grown in other parts of the North American Continent.—London Telegraph. Mr. Olden has an interesting letter in the last number of the Rural Press, anent the prospects for the sugar beet and wheat crops. His letter concludes thus: Wheat raisins in the northern part of the State, who are now obliged to be content with diminished crops on worn-out lands, will find here abundance of land at low prices, that is so inexhaustibly fertile that it will produce better crops of grain after 20 years of successive crops than it will at first. This excessive fertility has been the difficulty heretofore, but with Anaheim wheat we are safe. It delights in heavy fogs, in fact they saved the late-sown grain last year. Our farmers are greatly encouraged, now that they have something to grow that will pay a certain profit, and not bring them into debt as barley has done for two years past. We will not this year raise more than enough barley for our own consumption. Odessa Wheat in Minnesota. Editors Press:—Your letter of Feb.28th, with sample of Odessa wheat, has come to hand. The sample appears to be the same as the Odessa with which we experimented, with no greater difference than might be expected from one or two years of cultivation on different soil and in different climate. The Odessa certainly did rust worse than several other varieties in our experiments, but not so badly as to condemn it utterly, were it superior to these in other respects. It has also the reputation of rusting in other trials. However, while it rusted worse than our standard varieties, it rusted far less than a newspaper paragraph that in Chile an aromatic wine is distilled from its berries, and a dentifrice is also manufactured from the white gum which exudes from its branches.

EDITORS PRESS:—Your letter of Feb. 28th, with sample of Odessa wheat, has come to hand. The sample appears to be the same as the Odessa with which we experimented, with no greater difference than might be expected from one or two years of cultivation on different soil and in different climate. The Odessa certainly did rust worse than several other varieties in our experiments, but not so badly as to condemn it utterly, were it superior to these in other respects. It has also the reputation of rusting in other trials. However, while it rusted worse than our standard varieties, it rusted far less than any variety received from California or Oregon. Hence I am not surprised that you find it desirable. Our millers demand a hard, finty berry, and this fact alone would condemn the Odessa, which, as it grows here, is soft, though the sample you sent is hard enough.—CHAS. Y. LACY, Professor of Agriculture, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minn. The above is in answer to a letter which we wrote Prof. Lacy for the purpose of securing more definite information concerning his experiments with Odessa wheat, which we saw published in one of our exchanges. Prof. Lacy's letter gives the Odessa rather a better standing than the published account, and we are glad that it is so. The fact that it succeeded to a certain degree while all varieties he received from this coast failed utterly, is good so far as it goes. The wheats which he tried from this coast were Australian Club, Chile Club, Oregon Club, California Club, Siberian, Australian and Sonora. "The results from these varieties," the record says, "are so uniformly unfavorable as to discourage the expectation of receiving anything valuable from them." The fact that the Odessa did rust to some extent in Minnesota shows that the variety cannot be called absolutely rust proof, although it has so shown itself in all experiments in this State of which we have heard. It has stood tests here which would have ruined any other variety of wheat which we have yet tried. Concerning the milling quality of the wheat there is also a variation in favor of California-grown Odessa, as Prof. Lacy notes the hardness of the specimen sent him as compared with that grown in his State. These facts we put on record where they may be in mind if the Odessa should show any signs of departing from the good behavior which it has thus far maintained in California fields.—Burial Press. The right of persons of those nationalities to support themselves by their labor stands on no other or higher ground than that of the Chinese. The latter have even the additional advantage afforded by the express and solemn pledge of the nation. That the unrestricted immigration of the Chinese to this country is a great and growing evil; that it presses with great severity on the laboring and operative classes and that if allowed to continue in numbers bearing any considerable proportion to that of the teeming population of the Chinese Empire it will be a menace to our peace and even our civilization, is an opinion entertained by the most thoughtful persons in this State. The demand, therefore, that the treaty shall be rescinded or modified is reasonable and legitimate. But while that treaty exists the Chinese have the same rights of immigration and residence as are possessed by any other foreigners. Those rights it is the duty of the Courts to maintain and of the Government to enforce. The declaration that the Chinese must go, peaceably or forcibly, is an insolent contempt of national obligations, and defiance of national authority. Before it can be carried into effect by force the authority of the United States must first be not only defied, but resisted and overcome. Savannah Items. Mr. J. Cavanaugh, from Contra Costa Co., is visiting here. He says that crops here look fully as well as any he has seen in the State so far this season. Some of our older heads say that the cold weather will be a detriment to the barley crop, but we beg leave to differ with them on that point. Mrs. Aa Ellis, after a very severe spell of sickness, is now convalescent. Hay is a very scarce article here, and E. J. Baldwin holds the bulk of the hay in our part of the county. Rev. Hardin Wallace, the Evangelist from Los Angeles, is to preach here this Thursday night. He will soon be at Westminster, to preach to the people. We have known Mr. Wallace for twenty-five years. Those who fail to hear him preach will miss a treat and a feast. All trainees going by here are heavily loaded with railroad iron for the front. The Savannahites want to organize a literary union. They need one very much. J. H. B. A mile or two towards the lighthouse (which is seven miles from Wilmington and four from Sepulveda's), are a couple of ancient adobees, one of which was used as a hide and tallow storehouse by the Spanish Fathers. This is called Old San Pedro, and was a landing and shipping place. The client are year by year crumbling away, rapidly encroaching towards the ruins themselves. At this point was fought a battle, and the Americans killed were buried upon a west island near by, which from thence forward took the name of "Dead Man's Island." The island has suffered severely in past winter storms, its shores being washed out sometimes to the denation of the bones or cords of those buried there; kind hands and warm hearts; however, carefully collected and re-interring them. The new work upon the breakwater, it is hoped, will effectively anchor the islet so that it will not soon be thing of the past, as was greatly fearing judging by the depredations of the sea during the stormy winter of two years ago. Old and New Points San Pedro form a triangle with Timms' Point, which is a little towards Wilmington; old name, Fayette modernized, Linnaville. Timms' Point war house and five acres of land have been sold by Captain Timms to the Steamship Company, and a new warehouse is now building Twenty-three feet of water are now measured at the new warehouse at high tide, which is sufficient to allow the largest steamer to reach the new building, thus doing away with all lighterage, and greatly lessening the expenses of shippers. The brave Captain has been fighting single handed, the hydra monopoly for thirty years and avows his determination to die "so soon give up the ship." He also owns half of the adobe property above mentioned five hundred varas—and is making preparations soon to begin shearing of his sheep upon Catalina Island, where he has a aboriginal. Upon being interrogated concerning the number of sheep he possessed, he averred that it was an utter impossibility to give estimate; they run wild, and it is probable that all of them are never seen. Captain Johnson lives upon the opposite extremity Catalina, Captain Timms pleasantly reminding: "We are just as near neighbors when we are living upon Catalina, as we are when one of us lives upon mainland," (just twenty miles.)

Y., make many sizes and kinds of mills. The American "Croucher" No. 1 weighs 1700 lb.; heavy horizontal sweep for two horses; capacity ten to twenty acres of case per season. M. C. Hawley & Co. of San Francisco have these mills for sale, and furher particulars as to price, etc. can be obtained of them. The Victor mill is manufactured at Cincinnati. The Los Angeles papers mention the immense business done in eggs there. It is enormous all over the county. The store in this place has received already this month over three thousand seven hundred (3700) dozen. The proprietors find it almost impossible to obtain cases sufficient for the business. The people here are somewhat afraid of the frost, and some are going to make preparations to smoke their orchards. We all hope that the people of Anaheim (the only place with a town government in this portion of the county.) will make arrangements to give an alarm when there is danger of frost, so that not only the good people of that burg may be up to protect their property, but an alarm loud enough to be heard several miles, that all the surrounding country may be aroused. We had a sociable on Tuesday evening at the church, which was well attended and which all seemed to enjoy. The proceeds were over ten dollars clear, which is doing very well considering these hard times. At the next social it is designed to give considerable "Pinafore" music. Our school is progressing finely and all unite in saying that we have one of the best teachers in the State. The children all love to go to school, and all learn while they are there. Fortunately, our school will not close until June. The crops are looking finely, and the farmers think the barley and wheat crop is assured. Owing to the cold weather, farmers have not commenced to plant corn yet. Taxing Flat Property. [N w York Tribune, March 8] One of the most extraordinary features of the new Constitution of California was the system of taxation by which the statutes of the Sand-Lots school undertook to mallet the bloated bondholders and capitalists. The demagogue, as a rule, has a profound contempt for political economy, and thinks it is the simplest thing in the world to equalize public burdens by taxing "all property," and reckoning as property everything which can be said to have value and can be transferred from one person to another. As there is a tendency in many parts of the country to extend the operations of the taxgatherer somewhat recklessly, it will be instructive to watch the progress of the experiment on the Pacific Coast. The Legislature at Sacramento is now trying to embody in statutes the rules laid down by the Constitution; and the same wild eagerness to tax which presided over the framing of that fundamental enactment seems to animate the present assembly of law-makers. The Constitution, besides imposing a poll tax of $2, makes it the duty of every adult inhabitant, male or female, to attend at the Assessor's Office once a year and submit a sworn statement of all the property in his or her possession at noon on the list of March. Nothing whatever is exempt from taxation—not even the rags on a beggar's back. If a man owns nothing but a shirt, the Constitution commands him to pay taxes on that "All property" is taxable; and the Constitution declares that property means "all stocks, "dues or other matters or things capable of "private ownership." This is held to embrace not only tangible goods, money, land, etc., but also "flat property," such as credits and certificates of ownership; the leasehold and also the land; the cargo and also the bill of lading; the warehouse receipt for grain and also the grain itself; so that the same thing is taxed over and over again. The California legislators could not see that where several persons have an interest in a piece of property and each is assessed for the full value of his interest, while the pro- Westminster Items.

The Presbyterian social on Tuesday evening was well attended. An amusing dumb farce, "Cupid in the Kitchen," afforded great amusement.

The offered severely in past winter mores being washed out some denudation of the bones or cofuried there; kind hands and however, carefully collecting them. The new work upon it, it is hoped, will effectually let so that it will not soon be a past, as was greatly feared, the depredations of the sea during winter of two years ago.

The feet of water are now measure-warehouse at high tide, which allow the largest steamer to new building, thus doing away terrage, and greatly lessening the shippers.

Garden Grove Items. Still much interest manifested remanufacture of sorghum syrup. One question of importance is furnaces are being run to their fullest capacity, producing about $52,000 per week out of 990 tons of ore at each furnace (the Richmond and Eureka Consolidated); the refinery producing per week ore bars to the value of $38,000. New and rich discoveries have been made on Prospect Mountain, which have been sufficiently developed during the winter to place the question of their richness beyond doubt, and the opening of spring, it is confidently believed, will inaugurate a considerable boom in that locality in the mining interest of this district. Eureka came near being the scene of another conflagration like that which destroyed one-half of the city on the 15th of last April. On the night of the 15th inst., at 11:30 o'clock, fire was seen issuing from the drug store of Dr. Schinder. The fire alarm was sounded and the two fire companies were promptly on hand; but owing to the plugs being partially frozen, but a small stream of water could be procured. In the meantime, the fire-sliend was making fearful headway, the flames communicating with adjacent buildings and threatening the entire block. Owners of property who lost their all in the last great fire, stood by with blanched cheeks as they witnessed what (to them) seemed the futil efforts of the fire companies to subdue the onward march of the fiery monster. But, presto, change, the streets became darker, and it soon became apparent that the brave boys were the victors. Not, however, until the drug store, where the fire originated, and a French restaurant were totally consumed, and a clothing store and saloon badly damaged. Total loss, probably about $25,000. Had there been any wind at the time, nothing could have saved one-half the town from being burned again. The political cauldron is beginning to "sizzle," and the third termers and those opposed to an innovation upon the unwritten law affecting that question, wax wroth as they discuss the merits, pro and con, of their respective candidates. The "15 Puzzle" is here, and many of the Eurekans have it badly—let us hope it will not prove fatal. Yes, and Prof. Mone. Albert has come and gone, and not a few mourn his sudden and unceremonious departure. Winter still lingers, and each day we are treated to a fresh instalment of the "beautiful," with which Old Borns delights to sport. But the stoic Base Ranger heads it not, but pursues the even tenor of his way, hoping that some time in July summer will come. To which your correspondent schoen-Amen. Eureka, Nev., March 20th, 1880. A Thrilling Book. "Our Western Border, One Hundred Years Ago." Well indeed does this new book on the annals of our Western Border merit the above descriptive term. The cream of all the rare old border chronicles, it is rich with the varied historical details of the pioneer settlement of America. Terse, strong and full of interest, the reader cannot put aside the book until all the thrilling stories are fully told. An American library is incomplete that lacks its presence. The Subscription Book Department of A.L. Baneroft & Co., which supplies most of the valuable books to this Coast, gives through its agents the opportunity to obtain it.
