WILLIAM DAY SIMONDS,
in _Freedom and Fraternity._



JANUARY 29.


Westward the Star of Empire! Come West, young men! Westward ho! to all
of you who want an opportunity to do something and to be something.
Here is the place in the great Southwest, in the great Northwest, in
all the great West, where you can find an opportunity ready to your
hand. We are only 3,000,000 now. There is room here for 30,000,000.
Where each one of us is now finding an opportunity to do something and
be something there is plenty of room for ten more of you to come and
join us.

G.W. BURTON,
in _Burton's Book on California._



JANUARY 30.


IN CALIFORNIA'S MOUNTAINS.

'Mid the far, fair hills, beneath the pines
With their carpet of needles, soft and brown.
Dwells the precious scent of rare old wines.
