graduate of Rochester University. He ed
tied the Democrat from 1864 to 1868 and

Mr.. and Mrs. johnson, accompanied bv
their daughter, yesterday visited the Art

to view the historic relic, Suffers Fort-a

encourage, owing to the condition of that
spot OF historic ground. They manifested
much interest in Sacramento, as the Cap.
ital of California, and in the history, social
condition and progressive promise of Cali
lfornia. They were pleasantly impressed
with Sacramento and its beautiful homes.

1t having been rumored that the State
Controller would refuse to issue warrants
for the salary of William Ham. Hall as a
member of the California State River I'M
provement Commission, on the ground
that he was also holding a Federal office
as Consulting Engineer on the United
States Irrigation Survey, Attorney-General
Johnson was applied to by Mr.. Hall for
his opinion in the matter. In reply to
Mr.. Halls communication the Attorney
General writes as follows:
SACRAMENTO, May %, 1889.
Hon. WuHidm Ham. Han, Er-Stdte Engineer
DEAR SIR Replying to yours of the Dist inst,
l have to say that II, in your position as Con.
sulting Engineer on the United States Irrigation
survey, no commission is issued. no term OF
Office liked, no bonds are required or given. aud
there is no Federal law requiring the appoint
ment TO be made by the Secretary of the In
terror, but your appointment is made by the
Directors of the Geological Survey, and your
duties are simply advisory, / do not
think that under the State Constitution you are
ineligible for membership on the State River
Commission. l5ee case of People VS.. Turner

Under the conditions above named. although
our position as Consulting Engineer max be
lucrative. 1 do not regard il as an Office, but it il
simply the appointment of q temporary EN-.
ploye. OF course, however, the duties of the
two positions must be incompatible, otherwise
you could not hold both. Very truly yours.

Resolutions Of Respect.

At meeting of the Board Of Manage
ment of the Montgomery County Agricul
tural Society the following resolutions were
adopted:
Be 1t resolved, That in the death of the
Hon. Allen Bowie Davis the Agricultural
Society of Montgomery County has lost a
most valuable member and the county a
most useful and honored citizen.
He was one of the pioneers of agricul-
tural Improvement in Montgomery county,
and one of the originators of its Agricultural
Society. On March 4th, 1916, he met with
other enterprising citizens in Rockville for
the purpose of forming an Agricultural So
ciety for the whole county. He was ap.
pointed chairman of the COMMITTEES of the
first election district to prepare and draft a
constitution for such an association. Two
years later he was elected President of the
Society thus formed, being the second who
filled that office, which he did acceptably.
Since his retirement from that position he
remained, up to his death, an active MEM
Der of the Society, doing all in his power
TO further the interests of the Association.
During this period fiorty. three years he was
constant in his efforts to benefit the Society,
and through 1t to advance the material
growth OF the county For the last few
sent an annual contribution of money to aid
in making them II success-thus showing
his deep interest in the cause.
In the close of his long and useful life the
Society has indeed lost an active member. u
sincere friend and liberal patron, and the
county man who has done much to
advance its material, moral and religious
growth.
Resoloed. That a copy of these resolutions
be printed in each Of the county papers,
and that u copy be sent to his bereaved
family, with whom We deeply sympathizc
Ia their loss. JOHN MCDONALD,
JOHN f. MUNcAsTER, President.
Secretary.
