THE CELEBRATION FUND.

The committee appointed at the citi-
zens meeting last evening to canvass
the city for subscriptions to fund for
a celebration for the coming Fourth Of
July, will call on our business men and
citizens during the present week.
Every business man in town and citi-
zens should respond literally to this
call The amount subscribed should
not be regarded as donation toward
worthy public object merely. but as
30 much invested in an actual and safe
business enterprise. Surprising we
have no celebration, our people Will
Quit town on the Fourth, and take
hundreds of dollars away with them TO
spepd elsewhere. If celebration be
held, and especially one worthy the en-
terprise of our citizens, our people will
not only remain at home and make a
gala day of it here, but hundreds OF
people from all over the Sound country
will flock into this centre of trade. and
many of them will combine business
with pleasure. and our merchants and
traders will reap a rich harvest OF
trade. The crowd will be proportion
ate to the Importance of the celebration.
Therefore, while we are about it. a
grand affair should DO inaugurated.
One thousand dollars at least must be
raised. Let none DO found wanting

SAg FRANCISCO, MAY 2S.--William
L. Sturgis, was accidently and fatally
shot by DR.. David 3. Todd. abou. 9
O'Clock last evening at the office of the
latter on Railroad Avenue, South San
Francisco. A revolver belonging to
Sturgis has been mislaid, and DR.. Todd
succeeded yesterday in recovering it.
Last evening while conversing with
Sturgis he told him he had the revolver
and at the same time drew it frsm his
pocket, and by way of q joke, and not
knowing that it was loaded, pointed it
at him. Sturgis laughingly said "fire
away" and at the same instant the
revolver was discharged, the ball en-
tering Sturgis' face on one side, and
coming out through the temple on the
other. Officer Rosecamp, hearing the
shot. FASTENED to the spot, and as he
entered the office, DIR. Todd said to him,
my God, I've shot my best friend :"
Sturgis lived about twelve minutes af-
ter the shot was fired. DR.. Il. immc-
diately gave himself up to Officer
Rosecamp, and proceeded with him to
the city prison, where he was locke
up. Mr.. Sturgis was about twenty-six
years of age, and was formerly en-
ployed as clerk in Edwards drug
store on Kearney street, but for the
past few months he has been out of en-
ployment.

A PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

The Alta, alluoing to the necessity of
completing the gap in our coast rail-
road line between California and Ore
goD, says:
The River and Harbor bill, now
under consideration in Congress, may
DO searched through In vain TO find one
appropriation that would contribute so
much. directly and indirectly. To the
profit of the Government and the peo-
pile of the United States, at q compar-
atively small expense, as the construc-
ton of the $50 miles of projected rail-
road between Reddlng, California, and
Roseburg, Oregon. thus connecting the
railroads of the Sacramento with those
Of the Willamette Valley. and giving
continuous iron track from Puget
rsdo river. Only $50 miles of road is
needed to complete that important con-
nection, and not word is said about it
by any high Executive official, nor is
any strenuous move made for it by the
powerful legislative influences. Is the
value of this connection not under
stood, or would its completion be injur-
ious to private interest?
We imagine that gift of $4,000 in
bonds per mile Cor $l,250. 600 in all) in
addition to the present land grant.
would be sufficient to secure the con-
struction of this road, and if an offer of
that amount should not be enough. the
Government could we'll afford to double
or treble it. The road being in q
mountainous district. will be very
costly. but it will for that reason. rem
der the more service, and will have no
competition for q long period in the
future. We know of few places where
Congress, with small expenditure of
money, can do more for the commerce
and industry of the country, ana for the
development of the resources of the
unoccupied Federal land than between
Redding and Roseburg. Oregon, Wash
ington and British Columbia on one
side, and California, Arizona and Sono.
RI on the other, are too rich to be left
without direct rail communication and
it there were no other motive, Congress
should build the road without delay
for the purpose of influencing public
opinion in British Columbia. That pro
vince we regard rs destined to become
part Of the United States. and driven
to Us by the contiguration of tho contir
nsnt, as well as by the bad faith of the
Canadian administration. We gaze
100000 for Alaska, and we ought 20
be ready to give as much for British
Columbia. especially if we consider
part of the expenditure is to construct
durable and important channels of
communication in the territory which
We already have.
