been prepared by Senator Fulton and City
Attorney Curtis. They will submit it to the
Legislature for ratification as soon as possi-

prove beneficial to the city. 1t increases the
powers of the City Council; makes it posi-
Bile to bond the city for half million; pro-
vides for the improvement of streets by
taxation; extends the city limits so as to in
clude what is now termed Alderbrook and
Uniontown, besides providing for other
needed reforms.

At this time there was not in California
any vehicle except a rude California cart;
the wheels were without tires, and were
made by telling an oak tree and hewing it
down till it made solid wheel nearly foot
thick ON the rim and little larger where
the axle went through. The hole for the
axle would be eight or nine inches in diam
eter, but few years use would increase it
to foot To make the hole an auger, gouge
or chisel was sometimes used, but the prn-
cipai tool was an ak. A small tree required
but little hewing and shaping to answer for
an axle. These carts were always drawn by
oxen. the yoke being dashed with rawhide
to the horns. To lubricate the axles they
used soap Chat is one thing the Mexicans
could make, carrying along for the purpose
big pail OF thick sOapsuds, which was con-
stantly put In the box or hole; but you
could generally tell when California cart

The carly foreign residents of Californ il
were largely runaway sailors. Many if not
most would change their names. For in.
stance. Gilroy's ranch. where the town of
GilrOy is now located, was owned by an old
resident under the assumed appeIlation of
Gilroy. OF course vessels touching upon this
coast were liable, as they were everywhere,
to lose men by desertion, especially il the
men were maltreated. Such things have
been so common that it is not difficult to be-
leve that those who left their vessels in
early days ON this then distant coast had
cause for so doing. To be known as run
away sailor was no stain upon man 'sehar-
acter. 1t was no uncommon thing, after my
arrival here, for sailors to be sknlkiDg and
hiding about from ranch to ranch till tine YES
sci they had left should leave the coast.
Calilornians would catch and return sailors
to get the reward which, l. believe, captains
OF vessels Invariably offered. After the
vessels had sailed and there was no chan e
of the reward the native Californians gave
the fug:tives no further trouble.

@yENERAL BIDWELL continues his
1EIS contributions to the Century ON the
@ early days of California and from
the article appearing in the December num-
Der the following extracts are taken:
John A. Sntter was born in Baden in 1909
of Swiss parents. and was proud of his con-
nection with the only republic of conse-
Quence in Europe. He was a warm admirer
of the United States. and some of his friends
had persuaded him to come across the At
lantic. He first went 10 friend in Indiana
with whom he staid awhile, helping TO
clear land, but it was business that he was
not accustomed to. So he made his way
to st. Louis and invested what means he
had in merchandise, and went out as New
Mexican trader to Santa Fe. Having been
unsuccessful at Santa Fe, he returned to
st. Louis, joined a party Of trappers,
went to the Rocky Mountains and
found his way down the Columbia
River to Fort Vancouver. There he
formed plans for trying to get down to the
coast of California to establish colony.
He took vessel that went to the Sandwich
Islands, and there communicated his plans
to people who assisted him. But as there
was no vessel going direct frCm the Sand
Wich Islands TO California he had to take a
RUSSIAN vessel by way OF Sitka. He got
such credit and help as he could in the Sand
witch Islands and induced five or six natives
to accompany him to start the contemplated
colony. He expected to send to Europe and
the United States for his colonists. When
he came to the coast of California, in 1870
he bad an interview with the Governor,
AlvaTado, and obtained permission to ex-
pl0re the country and ind place for his
colony. He came to the bay Of San Fran
cisco, procured a small boat and explored
the largest river lie could find, aud selected
the site where the city Of Sacramento now
stands.

this country on account of the weather,
which may have a very important bearing
upon the future of q colt bred by great

in this foggy atmosphere where
we are liable to have cold wet

Stations are quite as capricious as dams,
and the fact that one is u great runner cam
not be taken as assurance that he will
breed prime runners. Since 1910, out of
the eighty stations winning the derby,
only twenty of them have shown them
selves of any particular value in the stud,

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.

The StatIstlcIan Finds That Agriculture ID
Under y Cloud All Over the World.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The prevail.
ing depression in American agriculture
is treated by the statistician, j. r.
Dodge, in the March report Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The prevalence
Of low prices is noted and q feeling Of
Encouragement in rural circles through
out the world is indicated. 1t
Is, and has been, especially severe
in Great Britain, and is the sub
ject of complaint, discussion and
official investigation in Germany, France,
Italy and other countries. 1t is present
in Monarchies and Republics, under di-
verse circumstances and economic sys-
TENS. But it is less severe here than in
other countries. Though the price Of
implements, utensils and fabrics are
ell low, the farmers interest account is
unreduced and his mortgage harder to
lift.
The main cause Of low prices is re-
ferred to the memorable law Of supply
and demand. Corn and wheat and other
staples are cheap because Of overproduc-
ton. immigration has increased the
population five millions in ten years.
Intercontinental areas have been con-
verted into farms, free to natives and
foreigners, opening millions Of acres to
cultivation. Railroad extension has
stimulated production and overwhelmed
the East with Western products.

glish, discharged street car conductor,
who had been drinking slightly, board
ed q Washington avenue car at Ninth
street at 4:15 o'clock yesterday after
noon and gruffiy said to James A. Fitz-
gerald, the conductor: why in -
don't you teach your driver to stop for
gentlemen"
Fitzgerald replied pleasantly, but
English began abusing him, accusing
him Of improper intimacy with his en-
glish's) wife.
When the car reached Twenty-fourth
street English suddenly drew a revolver
and fred five shots at Fitzgerald, who
fell on the rear platform dead.
English sprang through the car,
which was occupied by several women
and children, and covering the driver
with his pistol forced him to drive as
fast rs the team could haul the car to
the stables, over a mile and half away.
Finally the murderer made the driver
leap from the car and took charge Of the
horses himself. Reaching the stables
1t Vandeventer and Finney avenues he
drove the car inside and, pointing TO
Fitzgerald's body, said: 'T'll get two
or three more Of them around here yet,
and ran. The murderer was captured
