SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
As Seen by Coluniha Visitors.
The Journal reporter succeeded in
running down two of the returned Cali
fornia explorers or visitors, and by a
vigorous application of the proverbial
pump-handle, succeeded in getting a
summary of information from them,
about as follows:
John G. Routson, our city engineer,
passed most of his time in southern Cal
ifornia, and seems favorably impressed
with the climate, giving several in
stances of persons improving greatly in
health, among them members of Ira
Mullen's family and Phil. Cain, former
ly of this place. It was the wet season
while he was there and the moisture was
considerable. He didn't like the smell
of the salt water, but the residents say
it is very wholesome, so it is not so ob
jectionable as it might be.
We looked over John's collection of
sea shells, etc., and some of them were
very interesting. He had branches of
the camphor tree; the pepper tree, much
grown as a shade tree; two kinds of the
rugged cactus; the manzinita, the roots
of which grow rank and abundant and
make a valued fuel burning about as
well as the same volume of coal; the
orange, on one branch of which were
twelve good-sized specimens of the
luscious fruit; the lemon, showing
eighteen ripe lemons these last were
from trees set out by Alph. Burgess
since he went from here to California;
the olive tree, growing a small fruit that
is crushed and pressed forming the olive
oil of commerce, which some of the Cal
ifornians think is to be the most profit
able product of their soil, because there
is always a good demand for it at prices
lhat pay. John had also a nice little in
voice of Muscatel raisins raised in Cali
fornia, that were first-class surely. These
grapes, it is said, mature best without
irrigation, and Mr. Gerrard says that
this was the only industry ho saw in
southern California that he thought
would pay a profit on the investment.
Mr. Routson spoke particularly of former
Columbus residents as in good health
and flourishing, closing his account by
saying that Mr. Longshore was about
the happiest man in that country, open
ing up a ranche, driving a four-horse
mnlo team, etc.
One thing he spoke particularly about
was the immense bee ranches, men hav
ing from 100 to 1,000 hives, and bees
congregating in and peopling tho very
rocks with their multitudes.
"As for business?" Well, there are a
great many people in California for their
health; they have the money to spend;
they are not doing anything to make
money; they live and pay their money
out for their living. All business has
reference to this class of people.
If a man has good health and is doing
well in Nebraska, he had better not
move to California, was about the con
cluding language of Mr. Routson.
Leander Gerrard, President of the
State bank, was in southern California
two weeks, visiting a number of the
larger and smaller places from Los
Angeles to the Mexican line. He saw
and conversed with a number of persons
from Nebraska, somo who had been
there but a short time and others who
had lived there a number of years. The
first thing noticeable is that water is king
of that country. Mostly, it is very ex
pensive to sink a well, two hundred to
five hundred feet, and what is raised is
by irrigating the soil. Mr. Gerrard didn't
see any industry there that was paying,
that is, those that are producing any
thing from the soil are not making any
money by it. The raising of grapes for
raisins, he thought, might in time be
profitable in the mountain valleys back
of the coast, but he could'nt see anything
else, in tho way of the products of the
soil, that he thought would pay ten per
cent, or anything like it on the invest
ment necessary to produce it. Noticea
bly there are two classes of people
invalids, or those who have come to C.
to regain their health or prolong their
lives, and- speculators. The first have
money, more or less, do nothing there to
increase it, and the latter endeavor to
better their fortunes by selling real
estate to the invalids and to visitors
from the east. The whole country is
filled with schemes and schemers, land
lays and land speculators, real estate
jobs and real estate agents, of both
sexes and all ages, working every possi
ble device to get visitorsato buy their
soil, to invest in their town lots. They
do it the same as formerly western peo
ple gambled in stocks, the same as a
man will bet on the throw of dice or the
turn of a card. Men will start out on a
project involving the outlay ot two or
three hundred thousand dollars with
not enough money to do the planning,
broke up entirely if they have a single
back-set, but making something if it is
otherwise.
Mr. Gerrard thinks that the prices
asked now for these town and city lots
are about the same as they will be ten
years from now, if the country gets
settled up and improves. To show that
this is the main industry, every available
place along the coast and every little
valley in the mountains is utilized for
the purpose of speculation. Offered for
sale, with the statement that the unsold
will be offered again after 30 days at an
advance of say 50 per cent, and so on.
Land agents are as thick as fleas on a
dog's back, and the schemes are worked
on a magnificent scale, and for all there
is in them.
Recently in empannelling a jury, out
of the twelve men, there was only one
who had an occupation; the others were
residents, but with no calling that they
were following for a livelihood.
Mr. Gerrard says as to the climate,
that from eight o'clock in the morning
to four in the evening it is warm, like
our summer, but for the remainder of
the twenty-four hours it is cold, not
severely cold like our extremes by any
means, but damp and penetrating, neces
sitating the use of heavy wraps if you
are out. He 6ays they may talk as they
please, but that he found out by enquiry
that it is a fact that they have a heavy
fog every day, and that it chills you
clear through; the fog is so heavy that
all night the water drips from the roofs
of the houses.
The only class of poor men that would
thrive in California, Mr. Gerrard thinks,
are those with families of grown up boys
and girls who would go from home for
service in other families; there is not
alone the tendency to make distinctions,
but they are actually made there, be
tween the wealthy, who spend their
money in stylish ways, and the poor
who have little money to spend in any
thing but the actual necessaries of life.
In Nebraska, no matter what a man's
worldly goods, himself, his wife, his
children are as good as any if they be
have themselves, and this is a most ex
cellent feature of Nebraska life. It is
not so in California.
Mr. Gerrard's summing up was about
this: if a man has abundance of money
and is failing in health, southern Cali
fornia would be a desirable place for
him, as be could be out in the sunshine
a part of almost every day in the year,
and thus lengthen bis lease on life, but
for men in vigorous health, Nebraska is,
all things considered, five times better
than California.
We don't pretend to give all that we
got from these gentlemen in the few
minutes talk we had with them, but we
know that there are many of our readers
who will be gratified to see what Rout
son and Gerrard think of California. If
we can run L. A. Clark down during the
week we will try to get some additional
points from him.
Last Sunday seemed to be a day es
pecially set apart for street rackets.
About a half-dozen were had on Battle
street during the afternoon. Plenty of
wind, a few scared, some mad, and half
the crowd full was the way we sized the
thing up. It is a shame that our town
is becoming such a hole of rowdies.
So says the Schuyler Quill, and we
notice, here and there, throughout the
country, similar paragraphs. Citizens
of Columbus may well congratulate
themselves tipon the peace and order
that prevail in the city. Mayor Kramer
acts upon the theory that the best way
to preserve order is to watch the begin
nings of disorder, and, as much as pos
sible, prevent crime of all kinds, and
there is not a particle of doubt but this
is the proper principle to act upon. Once
started, it is easy enough to slide down
hill, but moredifficnlt to retreat. When
"toughs" find that officials are active,
persistent, and determined to enforce
the laws, they are very much less dis
posed to evil than when an opposite
state of affairs prevails. Besides being
tho easiest plan for officials, it is their
sworn duty, and commends them to
the good will of the public.
City Council.
At the last meeting the City Attorney
Wits instructed to draw up a contract
with the U. P. R'y. Co. providing that
the Company should furnish their own
pipes, etc., for connection with mains
and also that all excess of water fur
nished above 40,000 gallons a day should
pay at the rate of $50 a month for 30,000
gallons a day.
The bills for salaries of the officials
were passed upon.
The engineer was directed to prepare
plans for, and estimates of the cost of, a
building over the well system, and also
a hose tower.
A resolution in regard to the sale of
three water bonds to Keene & Co. of
Chicago was referred to Finance com
mittee. Next meeting of Council, Saturday
evening.
During the year about to close, the
city bus much to thank the Council for,
irrespective of politics or any other than
purely business considerations. Very
important public improvements have
been begun and completed, und done to
the entire satisfaction of the public; the
interests generally of Columbus have
been looked after carefully as was be
coming to men entrusted with the affairs
of others. There is complaint all over
the country of jobs and steals in public
expenditures, and corruption of those
whose dnty it is to guard the approaches
to the public treasuries. No such
charge can be truthfully made against
our city council, and, what is better,
would not lie thought of concerning
them. The Joukxal would be pleased
to record the same of the coming
councils.
A Rig Lien.
A heavy mortgage was placed on file
the other day in the County Clerk's
office. It occupies twenty-one pages of
closely printed matter. It is a mort
gsige (the first one) given by the consol
idated branches of the Union Pacific,
that is, the O. & R V., the O. N. & B. H.,
the Marysville & Blue Valley und the
Manhatton & Blue Valley. The mort
gage was given to the American Loan
& Trust Co. of Boston and covers 84,
989,000, actual and prospective.
There are a goodly number of western
citizens who are acquainted with mort
gages of various sizes, proportions,
weights and measures, but for a first
class, tall, heavy, wide-out lien, they want
to see this one.

in "sparring" for position, the debaters
did not and could not for some reason
get down to work. Next Friday evening
will close the Lyceum for the season,
and no donbt the house will be crowded
by an interested audience. The institu
tion has been one of pleasure and profit to
all concerned, and no donbt will be open
ed again when the avepinga lengthen,

Ten days before the annual school
meeting, (April 4th) the census report
should be filed with the County Supt.
The school year beginning with the 1st
of July, there seems to be no reason why
chileren five years old by that date
should be excluded from the list. On
this list is based the state apportion
ment which is a considerable sum in the
support of the schools of the county.
The census of 1885 showed 4,415 school
children of this county, of 1886, 4,9C6;
the apportionment for July 1886
was 3-4,219.04 and January 1887 ST.,.3.83.
Harry Phelps of the Schuyler Her
ald, was a Columbus visitor Thursday
last. He says that the B. & M. havo
been buying considerable property lately
in the city along the proposed line of
their road; that they have driven piles
to the river, and some in the river, for
their bridge: that the first station south
of Schuyler is to be twelve miles dis
tant, the first one on the other side, two
miles west of Becker's Mill and that the
cars are expected to be running into
Schuyler from Omaha the first of June.
