CHINESE NEW YEAR. Tbe Past Week Has Been One of Feasting And Hilarity. As the Chinese have concluded to register and remain with it may prove interesting as well as some benefit, lo study their customs and peeulint i (e. Tlte past week iia been one of ret, visiting and feasting, for all Chinamen who could afford it. In the large cities their preparations are very elabo-Hte, while in Santa Maria they are comparnti ely meager, although a whole smiled liberality is di-played by giving to all their lady acquaintances a China lily, the sacred Sliuey Seen Fall the flower of the water fairy hIso by distributing sacks of nut, candies, crystalized fruits, among tlieir customer and by giving every little boy or girl caller during the week, a liberal supply of sweet meats.

Sang Tov spent the week here with Ilia brother, and the table in the front room of tlieir wash house never lacked for something good to eat, drink, smoke or strell of. The burning of firecrackers announced the arrival of the new year on Sunday night last at 12 oclock. China New Year always comes between January 21 and February 19th, at tiie first new moon after tiie sun enters Aquarius. Firecracker are supposed to drive away evil spirits that have gatiiered about the place during tiie year. An account of tbi only holiday a Chinaman lias, would be incomplete without a notice of the SRcied lily legend which says that once there lived in China, two brothers; the elder inliptifed the greater part of the parental domain and seized most of hi brothers part, leaving only a marsh nnd a stony, pebbly patch upon which nothing would grow.

After vears of patience the younger brother broke down from hunger ami lay upon the ground erving. Suddenly he wa amused by a sweet voice calling him by name, nnd looking up he saw a fsirv who bade him arise, saying, Thy patience nnd forbearance have been seen by tbe god anil now there is a rich reward for (Item and told him to dig, where hi lieml hail lain.

UP THE B0AD. The Track to be Completed Through the Tunnels This Month.

All along tiie line, from here to San Luis Obispo, everybody is talking rail road. Tlio-e interested in prop erty not on the beach arj sure that tlieS. P. Railway will extend its line south from San Luis, via the P. C.

Ry. while those on the water front say there is no possible exit for this great overland route except via the coast survey. One thing is settled. San Luis Obispo is going to have all rail connections with Frisco and the rest of the world in the near future. The tunnels are all to be completed and track biid through them before the end of the present month.

Hundreds of graders are at work within the town limits. The sone work of the culvert is all completed to the point where tlte S. P. line touches the narrow gauge on he south side of town. Supt.

C. O. Johnson of the P. Ry. informed a Times tepresentali ve that arrangements are now being made In complete connections at this point in time to handle Ihi years crop of fruits, vegetables and other perishable freight along the line of the narrow gunge.

Hotel Rflmora has enjoyed a liberal patronage nf late, among the noie.l guests are a goodly number of S.

The Laugherv House is also having a good run. The Commercial Bank reports a goo I business nnd new deposit coming in lielv. They are loaning money right along now, same as of old, to till old customers, and also to now one-who fnrni-h the tight kind of proof that they are on a solid foundation. A talk with teal estate men reveals the fact that the entire countrv is suffering frorr the effects of lie financial depression, since good bargain are more numerous now than for years before and the taker are few ami tdiy. However, money is being piled up for investment in the gap a soon ms the 8.

Tlte business bouses were all and Ihe inference was that the people were all at church but a visit tu the school house proved that to be closed Also. Mr. Garey was found at home and, as a chicken was preparing, lie temptation was irresistible mid there was nothing left to do but creute a good appetite by a stroll among lie orchards and nurseries. Mr. T.

A. Garey ha been identified witli tlte fruit industry on this coast for over thirty years and for the past five year ha been putting itis garnered knowledge to prar tical use in Ida extensive nurseries and orchards at thi place. He has a hundred acres in orchard here, a poition of which will be in bearing Ibis year. His nursery interests have run into tlte hundreds of thousands every year ami many of tlte young orchard of ttiis valley, just coming into bearing, originated in his nurseries. He was first to urge onr people to plant nothing lint trees grown upon peaclt roots in our valley soils, and some of our growers owe their success to thi advise.

Nearly 200.000 of Mr. Gareys trees came to thi valley from Los Angeles county the same year that he came here, hut lie lias returned the compliment by sending them a million or more trees fioni here. Mr. Gaiev finds that he lias hi hand full, with bis orchard and other icisines and has decided to dispose of hi. entiie nursery stnek an-1 go out ol the business.

Hi half interest in the Gaiev town site is also for sale and lie will henceforth devote hi time to his vcchards and land business. A glance at lie new map of the G.uev Bralev tract shows that some important change have recently been made. Bv lie new survey the villa tracts adjoining lie townsight were made larger and tnanv of them extend into the valley, thus affording an op-poitunitv to get water at nn easy depth and to build on the tuwnsite level These are nil desirable tracts and some day will be very valuable. The unusually ensv terms on which land can be obtained in this tract will undoubtedly cause it to be settled tip in advance of any of the iet of tbe valley and the developments which will naturally follow arid make a home in this tract it most profitable investment.

Old Conserva- tive, steps up and says, Young them as most people do; we would point to our Nemopliilas, our Collin-sias, our Argemones, perhaps our C.ilochorlus Lilies and vouch safe the information that lie iiappy Californians have lie beautiful things growing wild in their door yards.

But here they are all about ns and so much does familiarity breed contempt, that we seek them not ami scarcely know that they are beautiful. We have many bulbous plants, annuals, and shrubs which should be choice garden favorites. It is with the shrubs and small trees I shall occupy myself in this paper. There are several shrubs known as Wihl Lilac on the bushy slopes of the foot hill- and mountains near us. The one most common is a variety of the Ceanotlius ciineatus.

It is beginning to blontu now and will continue to do so for two months or more. Tiie shrub under favorable circumstances becomes five or six feet high and forms around head. It opens a profusion of daintv lavender tinted flowers; tha( leaves are small and vcinv. It may ie found in Pine Grove, Cat Canyon, ou the Suey and on Pt. Sal mountain.

Another beautiful Ceanothns grows on this slope of the Pi. Sal juntain and I think near Los Berro. It i the C. impresu. The leaves are small ami dark and the flowers are very blue ami beautiful.

There are one or two tnoie species of Ceanoliui in mtr neighborhood ami six or eight in the county. They are all heautiud and worthy ol cultivation. The Lol-lon or California Holly, in other words the Heleromeles arbnlifolia has eiery qualification for a garden slmiti and seteral more besides. The shrub, if well treated, becomes a tree twenty feet high or more. The leaves are of attractive form and texture ant! are evergreen; the gteat panicles of white fiovveis followed at Christmas time by the bright ted benies make of it an indigenous blessing not in the least disguised hut very much neglected.

H. BONETTI. Owner. what a handsome stun you would had now with which to im. prove the town! If there were 500 wlm pay mad and poll tax and that lax amounts to no more than ijl.ttO apiece annually you would have $2,000 a sum total of $10,000 in live years.

There you are with $10,000 for simply' availing yourself of the yrivi Jeg allow eu you by the State oi California. Supposing you had 't $5,000 during the five years, still have $5,000 left for ny, street lamps and the town would economically andn power to tax you to death, vile with an over dose of taxation let me inform you the law limits the tax rate to 65cts on the $100 and if you are afraid of to high tax under 65cts you had better eleet property owners fr trustees who, like you mil would nut favor high taxation. If you would nut be content with that amount of money, and levied a le ense tax, you might soon be able to afford a water system. Lompocs assessed rate in 1891 was 30 els ou the $100 and they had at the time a $15,000 water supply. Of course I am discussing incorporation from my side ot the question and if there are good reasons for not incorporating I would like to hear them.

Now my friend just go home and dream that Santa Mriais a little city, protected from toughs, fire and ridicule and come around next week and W6 wilt discuss the subject some more. A. M. POWELIi. Irrigation is the life of all southern California ami without it there is comparatively no life.

The sooner we realize the force of this proposition "the better fur us ami our country. It is sure to come sometime but now is when it is most needed. There are funds available now for developing an irrigating system in this valley, provided a sufficient number of irrigators can lie found who will use the water at a very low rate compared with what i paid elsewhere. The price of an article does not always represent its value but the Arena for February is about worth the price of its yearly subscription. No oilier publication has ever won the hearts of thinking people so quickly, or pottrayed the condition of the human family more vividly than has the Arena.

The Midwinter number for February strikes at all departments of life, and hits them hard. There are more noted women and pretty pnze babies, pictured and noted Deinorests Family Magazine for February than were ever before presented to the public in a single issue. This, together with the usual large amount of dress gossip, spring styles, etc, and a great deal oi high toned literature makes the February number much eougnt after. The Overland is to the west, what Harpers Monthly is to the east: It is a publication we are all proud of and it Is hero to stay and do everyone good who reads it. It is a false idea (hat none but college bred people read magazines.

All sensible people appreciate good literature and that is wliy the Overland is so universally popular. In spite of the sweeping reduction in price, the Cosmopolitan continues to grow in Usefulness and lias added to its many attractions a famous European author whom it introduces to its February leader a Valdes of Madrid, and Ihe artist Marotd of Paris, well known as a Fiench illustrator. Among the manv assurances that the Southern Pacific intends to put the bulk of its business on the coast route as soon ss the gap is closed, is the silent one that the branch roads ltetween Santa Barbara and Saugus, is being carefully ballasted.

He has figured it up and says they could formerly be counted on for at least $1000 per year each, by the saloonB and that they are handling more monev now than ever, but il flows into different channels, so we can begin to realize some of the benefits of the Keeley Cure to the county and general public.

J. McPherson of the Coyama paid tho Times a business call last Wednesday. He was down for supplies and to ship 40 dozen quail to he City. He says that 1500 dozen quail have been killed in that valley during the present season and that many of them were lost on account of warm weather. The McCuichin Bros, hist dozen in one shipment last October.

Mr. McPherson says they propose petitioning the supervisors to change the date of the quail law in this county to open lrter, in order to strike cooler weather and prevent this heavy loss. This is quite a revenue to the Cuyama settlers and they cannot afford to lose it that way, Mr. M. says that Bakersfield people will build a good road to Cuyama thi spring, and then they will have but very little business down tbis way.

Montgomery pike is before the public again this week with an article on woman suffrage. He will talk on tbe income tax theory next week. This is a subject which will call for national legislation sooner or latter, and as Mr. Pike has given the question much study, our readers will find It to their interest to follow him closely in his discussion.
