TRAVEL TO THE SPRINGS.
Colusa, Yolo and Sacramento Shou
Wake UTn

Colusa, Yolo and Sacramento Should
Wake Up.
The following communication from a
well-known citizen of Colusa is worthy of
the thoughtful consideration of the people
of Sacramento, Colusa and Yolo counties
EDS. SnNDAYUNIoN For some time past
1t has been rumored that an effort was being
made to divert the freight and passenger
traffic which now goes by the Northern
Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad
and the Colusa narrow gauge TO the springs
on the eastern side of Lake county from
the Sacramento valley, to the Donahue sys-
tenn of roads, which enters Lake county
near Its western border. That this effort is
now nearly an accomplished fact can be
MADE evident to any one who will examine
the matter. 1t is fact that a new noun
tain road has been built from a point on
Clear Lake, opposite the town of Lakeport.
to Bartlett Springs. The steamer CITY of
Lakeport has been purchased 20 run across
the lake, and passengers from the springs
will go by the way of Lakeport, over an
other new road, to Hopland, on the Dona-
hue system. 1t is claimed that by this
route passengers from San Francisco or Sac
ramento can be landed at the springs three
hours ahead of the present time now made
NY tne way OF Colusa county.
That this effort will be to the advantage
of Lakeport and Turner's in Sonoma
county cannot be doubted But how about
Colusa. Yolo and Sacramento? Is the
present traffic of importance enough to
hold 1t for the eastern side of the noun
talns as for the Sacramento valley? As
the natural outlet of Lake county is by
cache creek at Lower Lake, so we should
make every effort to save and bend this
travel towards us by assisting any enter
prise having for its object the preservation
OF the present route. That this trade can
be retained no reasonable doubt exists
provided the Colusa Narrow gauge Rail-
road is extended toward Clear Lake and a
short stage ride is had instead of one as at
present OF from six to eight hours. If this
narrow gauge were placed in Bear valley
the old route would then be the best, quick
est and shortest to all the springs in eastern
Lake county. Passengers from San Fran
cisco and Sacramento would then have a.
stage ride of but eighteen miles to Bart.
let's, fifteen to Aliens, eleven to Hugh's
and eight to Wilbur Springs. If this ex-
tension is not made the quicker time by
the Donahue system will certainly draw
the lions share of the traffic Wake up
people of Colusa, Yolo and Sacramento
and don't allow trade to be divided with
out an effort to retain it. Very respectfully,

TALE OF A SHIRT.

A San Diegan who Got OF Wrong on
the Bathing-suit idea.
Us. Williams, Deputy Clerk of the Su-
preme Court in this city, has received a
communication from a man named
Joseph Klepenbauer of San Diego, who
stated that he had case which he wished
to appeal to the Supreme Court. He gives
twenty-five reasons for his appeal, and the
facts in the case are as follows:
klepenbauer was convicted at Oceanside
OF indecent exposure, and was sentenced to
ten days Imprisonment Il appears that
the defendant was found on the beach in a
novel sort of bathing suit, consisting
of simply shirt. He claims, however
that the garment came down TO his knees,
and says he thinks he has right to ex,
hibit his legs. He has served his len days'
Imprisonment, but wants to be tried again
and exonerated by the Supreme Court.
Clerk Williams wrote Informing him
what the requirements were in an sppeal
to the higher Court, and Klepenbauer will
undoubtedly be heard from again.

Zeigler Falls An Easy Prey to the Bay
Bsil-Whackers-Some Very
Costly Errors.

SAN FRANcIsco, September 7th.-It was
the same old story to day. The visitors
were out-classed, but managed to save
themselves from being shut out, by one run,
and the carelessness of the home nine gave
them two more in the ninth. Zeigler was
hit hard, and his side made some rank
errors, but as whole the playing of the
Sacramentos was an improvement on that
of Thursday.
The fielding of the San Franciscos at
times was phenomenal, and the double
play between Hayes and Levy was a very
difficult feat. Whitehead and Sweeney
made their appearance here with Finn's
nine, and put up errorless ball. White
heads chances were ali hard. The feature
of the game was a one-handed running
catch by Stockwell. Lohman caught fine
game. The score was:

FEATURES OF THE Fair.
AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR THE
COMING EXHIBITION.
Attractive Features at the Pavilion and
Park-Ladies' Tournament
Ticket Systematic.

Tomorrow will witness the opening OF
| the Thirty-sixth Annual Fair of the State
Agricultural Society, in this city, and all
the indications point to successful exhi-
bition. The applications for space in the
Pavilion have about exhausted the capac-
ity OF that vast structure, while at the Park
it has been found necessary to erect more
stalls for live stock. The local Directors
and Secretary Smith have been active and
untiring in answering the many demands
upon their time and patience, and every
thing is progressing in an orderly and sys-
tematic manner.
The work of preparing exhibits in the
Pavilion is not as yet far advanced, but
people are bnsy at their tasks, and the
probability is that by tomorrow night the
exhibits will be mostly in place Colusa
county is making grand showing, and the
others will have to spread themselves" to
rival her. Their respective committees are.
however, at work unpacking their articles
and arranging their tables and shelving
preparatory to displaying their products.
Agricultural implements and machinery
are coming in rapidly, and these depart
ments will be well represented, as usual.
THE ART GALLERY
Presents a busy scene. A large force of
men are employed, under the supervision
of Norton Bush. in hanging pictures and
arranging other works of art, and the ont.
look favors splendid exhibition. A list
embracing many of the chief works of art
to be shown, was published in the RECORD.
UNION several days ago, but since Mr.. Bush
has made large additions to his collection,
and he does not hesitate 10 say that the art
exhibition this year will be better than ever
before witnessed at State Fair.

The Game of Casino.

EDS. SUNDAY UNION: Oblige by deciding
the following question Two players at
Casino stand 13 and IS respectively in
game of 81 up. The man with Is, when
play is over, has scored sweep and made
spades. His opponent makes cards and
big and little casino. Each has two aces.
Who wins? INEGo.
Answer-According to Hoyle, "a tie pre-
cludes both parties from counting the
points on which they tie" and as in the
case above cited the players tied on aces,
the score stands 19 to 20, and another deal
must be had to decide the game Some
players, when thereis tie on aces, countthe
ace points in the following order: Spades,
clubs, hearts, diamonds; but if that rule is
not agreed on before the game is begun
Hoyles rule must govern.

The Police Force Decides Not so Strike
During the Fair.
For some days past there have been
rumors to the effect that the policemen
would strike" and leave the city without
protection against the State Fair thieves
and thugs unless the City Trustees should
give assurance that they would not appeal
to the supreme Court from Judge Arm
strong's writ of mandate for the payment
OF the policemen's salaries.
AT Yesterdays meeting of the police this
matter was taken up. District Attorney
Bruner was present and couuseled the men
not TO think of doing such thing, but to
go ahead and perform their duty. He ex-
pressed belief that they would get their
pay, and that all would end we'll if they
the proper course. Others ad-
vised the men to the same effect, and the
result was that they decided not to strike,
but to remain on duty and protect the per
sons and property of citizens.
