IRRIGATION BONDS.
Capitalists Asked to IndOrse the
Security.

A meeting of representatives from about
twenty irrigation districts in this State, in
terested in raising money for building irriga-
tion bitches, etc., was held yesterday morn
ing in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce, in conjunction with committees from
the chamber and State Board of Trade. j,
Jacobs presided and Judge Hazen read a
series of resolutions which he desired TO
have the chamber and botrd indorse.
In substance these resolutions recommend
TO capitalists all bonds issued under the
Wright irrigation law as first-class source
of investment for the following reasons:
First, because the validity of such bonds
has been established beyond question by
the Supreme Court; second, because thew
are absolutely safe; third, because the Sc
curity Is becoming safer every year, and
lastly, because the interest upon the invest
ment exceeds that upon almost any other
similar security.
Judge Hazen then read a statement of the
condition Of irrigation in California, and
was followed by Colonel Irish, who urged
that the bonds be made equal to those hay
ing giltedged regulations.
Judge Waymire said, in reply TO n oues
ton from the Chairman, that over 5000 0OO
worth of these bonds had been sold In San
Francisco. but many had been purchased by
investors abroad because the interest was
per cent.
j. X. Wilbur reported that he had sold
large number of these bonds in Chicago,

We say american" comedian In Reeds case,
because we think Reed typical Of the class that
has gown up on the American stage since the
Imported English article. which monopolizcd it
IN the earlier years Of The drama In this country,
has gradually died out. An English comedian
purely nowadays such as Toole, for instance,
is no longer accepted In tie United States.
This, In our opinion, Is because the Two

The mirrors that the Old-cOuntry actor now
holds up TO what he considers the manners and

Annual E1Campment Of The Grand Army at
Santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, April 22.-The twenty
fourth annual encampment Of the Depart
ment of California, Grand Army of the Re-
public, opened its session In the Young
Mems Christian Association building in this
city this afternoon. The Department Com
mander and portion of his staff arrived last
evening and put up at the Sea Beach Hotel,
where department headquarters are es alb
lished Department Council of Administra-
tIOn met at the headquarters last evening in
Psrlor a of the Sea Beach Hotel.
The Committee on Credentials, consisting
of Assistant Acknowledgement MastellaI, j.
L. Skinner. John P. Swift, Magnus Taft and
J. 7. Sullivan, met this morning and found
that S75 Past Post Commanders and repre-
sentatives were entitled to seats In the en-
campment, half Of whom are Past Post Com
mander5.
The majority Of those spoken to thus far
seem to favor General W. H. L. Barnes as
candidate for Department Commander for
the ensuing year.
1t is usual to compliment the city In which
the encampment is held with the Office of
Senior Commander. There are two
candidates for the Office from Santa Cruz
and as a consequence several candidates
from other places, but it is believed one or
other Of the Santa Cruz candidates will give
away, and that a Senior Vice-Commander
viii! be elected from this place, in accordance
with custom.
The encampment met at Q o'clock, De-
partmeDt Commander Buckles in the chair.
1t was decided to omit the roll-call until to-
morrow morning, as many representatives
would not arrive until this evening.
Past Department Commander Solomon
read resolution welcoming President Har-
Tison to California ON behalf of his comrades
of the war, which was, on motion OF Wood
ward of Oakland, unanimously adopted and
telegraphed to the President at Los Angeles.
On motion of Past Department Com
mander George E. Gard, committee of nine
was appointed TO draft suitable resolutions
to the President, hare them impressed and
present them to him during his visit to San
francisco.
A letter of regret was read from Com
mander-in- Chief Veasey that he could not
attend the session Of the Department En-
campment owing to many of the large
Eastern encampments holding sessions at
the same date. He stated he would visit
California during his term later on.

next business.

WASHINGTON MINERS.

An Assertion That Efforts Are Being Made
to Impors GOO Men From Illinois.
SEATTLE, April 22.-1he Executive Com
miItee of the knights of Labor tonight
gave out the following statement concern
ing the situation of the strikers in the
Newcastle and Gilman mines: Information
has been received by the Joint Local Ex-
ecutlve Board of the Knights of Labor of
Seattle that T. B. Cory, late Superintend-
ent Of the Oregon Improvement Company's
mines at Newcastle and Franklin, King
County, Wash, is now in Illinois trying to
secure 600 miners for Washington. He
made an effort to get the miners here to
sign an iron-clad contract, but failed,
after which the company ostensibly
dIsch arged him. The Executive Board
has notified the officials of the
order in Illinois to watch Mr.. Corry's
movements in order to prevent if possible,
the importation of miners under contract,
and will make every effort to induce them
not to 20 to work should they come.
There are a large number of miners idle
here at present. Everything is quiet and
peaceable at the mines. The trouble al Gil
man is believed to have been provoked in
order to have preteXt for bringing in new
men; also that the Pinkerton men are only
retained in readiness Tor trouble when the
new men are brought in and the old hands
discharged.
