The views Of the friends and Of the antago-
nists of the extensive system of street eIpendi-
lures which was supposed to be involved in
the appointment Of city engineer are now
coming close together. The salary, which some
thought beyond the means of the city, has been
stricken from the bill and other changes have
been made which will insure that the office will
not fall to an engineer whose ideas would be
far in advance Of the means Of the city, but
viii be given to an engineer of less pretensions
who will be content to give his skill in working
out gradually the plans for street Improvement
from time to time arranged by the city council.
The first work will be the more perfect utiliza-
ton of the natural sewer that passes under
Henry street and then runs a mile or more
southeast, draining about half the city. Other
works will follow.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great adj
vantage to the fruit grower of being in early locality
In most makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardst of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres of this rich land when the trees bearing will
yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-
siding the valley whose duty it to show the various
tracts to land seekers
-Four townstes have been laid out in different points
IN the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Gunda and
Rumsey Town lots may be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms.
The enterprising and lourishing town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and 81 900
worth OF substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine our-sory brick hotel, two large brick
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the Streets
The town has postofice. schoo-ho and weekly
and express offices.
Posof1ces have also been established at Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place, situated at the head of the
valley IS the present terminus OF the railroad The
Portable little hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters
as well as and-seellers
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus concisely summed up:
"A soil of great fertility, yielding bountfuly of every
crop.
soil and climate which will rpen all kinds of fruit and
vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins and
drying of nt without the aid of artificial evaporators

quickly and cheapl. Lands which sold cheaper and
on better terms than anywhere else in the State.

The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the
most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which
enable the purchaser to pay for the land out of its own
product viz: Interest only for five years at Der cent
he only condition imposed is that reasonable pro-
portion OF the land purchased shall be planted to fruit
trees or vines. Land may be bought without this
condition on payment of per cent. cash and re-
naming 80 per cent at the end Of five years. with in
terest annually IN advance at per cent The various
tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have
been subdvided into and lots which are for
sale at prices varying from $50 so per acre SINH
lar unmproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been
sold at $500 to $500 per acre
These Capay Valley lands under the most favor
able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable
rult growing, and the locality has proved itself to be
of the earliest in the State The grape crop of 1900
from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked
dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before
the Fresno County grapes were ripe.
lhe railroad passes through all of the tracts owned bv
the Capay Valley Land Company thus insuring excel
lent shipping acllitles and land may be purchased
IN the immediate proximity of either of the following
stations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey Guina Sauterne
Cashmere or Run1sey
At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest
and earliest varieties OF peaches and aprcots may already
be seen and during the coming season considerable adj
dltonal acreage will be planted out One of the recent
sales made by the company was that of the Tancred
tract containing 600 acres, to a colony association
his tract has been subdyded into forty holdings all OF
which will be planted to frht trees this season
The hne orchards the Guinda Tract where 400
acres have been sod especially worthy of mention
and 1t is significant fact that several of the blocks are
owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit growers who ex-
pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

the court, speaks OF Congressional legisla-
ton on the subject as introducing ga
system In which the preliminary posting
and recording of notices is entirely out Of
place, except as means of protecting a
claim during the time necessary for trac-
ing the ledge and marking the bound
aries OF the location. When the location
is thus marked, all that the notice and
record We're ever intended or expected to
accomplish IS effected in manner far
more satisfactory and complete" We
quote the above remarks, not to the point
that mining custom requiring the post
ing OF notice in particular way can be
wholly disregarded (which is not neces-
sary mere to be decided), but as showing
additional reasons why such a custom
when invoked years after all other acts
location have been done, should receive a
liberal and not a strict construction. Our
conclusion is, that-whatever evidence
may be presented on another trial-under
the facts as shown in the findings before
US, the posting of defendants original
notice should be held TO have been sub
stantial and sufficient compliance with
the said custom.
The judgment is reversed and the cause
remanded for a new trial.

THE OLD SOLDIERS RIGHTS.

Is the Property of Soldiers Exempt
 From City and School Taxations
 The great question which at present is puzzling the majority of the city and school boards throughout this state, is that of exempting from taxation the property of honorably discharged sailors and soldiers, their widows, etc, to the ''House Bill No 219, Chapter 104, Page 51, of the Public Acts of the State of Connecticut, 1887, which says:
 1.-The board of relief for each town in this state shall exempt from taxation to the amount of one thousand dollars, the property of every resident of such town who has served in the army or navy of the United States in time of war and received an honorable dis charge therefrom."
 Now under the law it is proper and just to exempt such soldier or sailor from town taxes, but is it proper and just to exempt him from paying city and school taxes. though said city and school is a part and parcel of said town l in which he is exempt? The question is ! a serious one, and one which needs inn mediate attention, not only in this city and school district, but in each through out the state.
 The different clerks of the cities and school districts are hard to work upon their rate books, getting the same ready for their respective tax collectors where on to collect their taxes. Now in my opinion the law does not exempt these people from paying either city or school taxes, only a town tax; and why should such parties be carried on our city and school lists as exempt, for the past four years, when they are not entitled to it? It is about time the matter was ad- justed and the city and school clerks of this place be notified to exempt no soldiers or sailors on their respective rate books, as it is illegal and does not come under the law.
 | Last year there were about fifty old soldiers exempted under the law, there by escaping city and school taxes, which exemption consider they are not en- titled to. This year the list has incrcas- ed to two hundred and thirty odd when if each is exempted as heretofore it will cause a loss of $4, ,340 in taxes to the city, and S2,O40 in taxes to the center school district. This matter should be stopped l right here. Give them their full exemp- tion in the town. but compel them to pay their city and school taxes. be- lieve in justice to the old soldiers and no more.

Tho Oldest Land.

How many people know where the oldest place in America is situated? Not the oldest town in the country or on the continent. but the oldest land? We'll. it is Mount Marcy, in the Adirondack mountains. Ages and ages ago, perhaps million years. this entire continent was covered with ice and water; in fact, there was no continent. Then the waters subsided. and point of land made its appearance, and that point was Mount Marcy. It would take too long to explain how this interesting fact was discovered, but it is vouched for by Agassiz and other famous geologists. and so it may be believed without oues- tion. Mount Marcy is 5,3S7 feet high, the tallest peak of the Adirondaclzs, and, m fact, the highest mountain in New York. It was named after Governor William l.. Marcy.-N. Y. Examiner.

WORLD OF SPORTS

Old Sport Campana made 405 miles in recent six days walk in Minneapolis His antics so amused the spectators that people gave him $l0 and S5 at a clip and any number of dollars and halves. On the closing night he mounted the judges stand and sang song about Sullivan Kilrain fight and himself. He was ap- plauded for five minutes and given lots of silver dollars. The manager also pre- scented him with $25 in gold in the presence of the spectators.
 The reserved list of players of the New York club has been sent in to Secretary N. E. Young. All except ing Hornung, Murphy and O'Day are named. The list includes Ewing, Glass cock, Denny, Connor, Richardson, Herman, Burkett, Whistler, Rusie, Sharrott, Keefe, Welch, Buckl y, Crane, Clarke, Brown, Whitney, Gore, Stat tery, O'Rourke and Bassett.
 Maine is the first state to take the ringer pig by the ear in way that will certainly make him squeal. The legisla- tive committee on agriculture is con- sidering, and will probably favorably report, a bill designed to prevent the fraudulent entries of fast horses in slow classes at the various meetings in that state. The bill provides that in case of fraudulent entry, such as naming a horse with a record of 2:30 for the three minute class, either the driver or owner shall be deemed guilty of cheating by false pretences and be subject to punish ment as already provided by law for other fraudulent practices, the horse to be forfeited and sold by order of the court.
