the three Commissioners in whose dis

largely followed. namely: George West,
Chairman, OF San joaquin; K. B. Blow

raising raisin vines in two districts; in

this committee aud are not.likely to be
disappointed.

The great land slide near Caliente has
continued to send down additional earth
and rocks, SO that the clearing Of the
track has been multiplied several times
over. A hundred and twenty men are
constantly at work night and day to
clear away the vast amount OF matter
that has fallen on the track. A bank
opposite the slide prevents rapid re-
moval Of the earth, the whole having to
be shoyeled up and put on cars. That
fact accounts for the long time oecu pied
in opening the road. Unless q new
slide occurred yesterday, it was expected
that the road would be cleared last
night.
