The original idea of making the span the same length as the former one has been aban- doned, after much consideration. It is now proposed to make the new bridge about fifteen feet longer than the one that g was washed away. This will necessi- tate additional steelwork, and cause quite an increase in the ex- penditure. Difficulties appear in the way of getting a suitable foundation Where the former abut- »ment stood. To innease the span will certainly reduce the high water pressure, and the ad- ditional expenditure may be bet- rteg in the long run.

One by. one, these great bodies of land are being broken up into small hold- ings and put on the market to at- tract the small rancher, with his few hundreds or few thousand dollars, who desires to build up a home and produce in a modest intensive way. The vast ranchos doubtless served a good purpose at one period of California‘s his- tory, says the Pasadena Star, But the day of their economic useful- ness is past. The great rancho, held intact in this day, becomes a detriment to development and advancement. A‘ hundred ranches of ten acres each, intensely culti- vated, are worth vastly more than one’ rancho of one thousand acres, indifferently cultivated or man- aged. The small ranch has wealth producing possibilities in this State as yet scarcely dreamed of. With the land of the State subdi- vided and in the hands .of small holders working the soil to the ut- most of its productive capacity, and yet conserving its fertility so as not to wear it out, the. fiches of the commonwealth will continue to increase amazingly. Try to give the lie to that hoary bit of pessimism about a good beginning, making a bad ending. T fatalist who believes that w is to be will be, may live to over that it’s his own fault.
