STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Favoring the Nicaragu
Canal.

Resolution Fayoring the Nicaragua
Canal.
At the meeting of the State Board of
Trade on Tuesday, VIM. H. Mills spoke
upon the Nicaragua Canal. He very for
cibly elucidated the problem, and so sat-
isfactorily to the board that resolution
was adopted providing for the publica-
ton of his remarks in pamphlet form.
Mr.. Mills said the Southern Pacific
Company have no enmity for the canal
scheme, but rather favor the idea because
its developments would tend to increase
population in California, the very thing
longed for by the railroad people,
He explained that transcontinental
railways cannot pay unless high rates for
freight are charged; between Ogden and
Reno is a stretch of territory as unremu-
nerative to railroad as so much bridge
i 800 miles of it-without an income
sufficient to pay salaries OF station agents
between the points named. In railroad
parlance ii is known as the bridge"
"Now," continued Mr.. Mills, 1.-The
railroad would be far better off, far more
prosperous, if its line did not go beyond
the Sierras, provided the population of
California was increased to 2,000, ,00O-just
double the number Of people we have to-
day. What we want is more people of
GnrllG, economy, SODrlely ana intelligence
to develop the State.n
The Nicaragua Canal. he stated, would
open up markets in foreign countries and
the East for California products, which
cannot be carried cheaply over the CONT
nent; would in turn increase the States
population by creating demand for labor
to supply the new demand, and accord
ingly enrich the railway. For then pas
sengers would be travelling overland in
much larger numbers than at present.
and the freight that pays best-the pianos,
the bonnets, fine furniture and other
costly wares-would come to California
Invariably over the mountains.
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
ReS0tUed. That In view of the large quantity
OF California products that must In the near
future find n market in Europe and other for
eign countries, or glut the local markets II
should be the policy of California as a State
and OF its citiZ ms, to work for the early COM
pletion OF the Nicaragua Canal and that the
California state Board of Trace ask the repre-
sentatiyes of this State in Congress to use their
earnest endcavors to have the General Govern

way possible, the completion of said canal.
The Committee on Industrial Resources
of California was requested to prepare a

to the development of California, and

Shakers of All creeds and Kinds

Are to be found in every locality vis-
tied by chills and fever. The very ami

If experience has proved, in the domain
Of medicine, anything conclusively, it is
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will not

mers, who is the foreman of B. r.

SCHREEDERs DIVORCE.

On the Sd inst. the following item ap-
peared in Tacoma paper: Mrs. George
Schroeder of Sacramento, Cal, is here to
contest decree of divorce recently
granted, by which she has been set aside
without an opportunity for hearing, her

avowed purpose of having the decree of
divorce set aside granted to her husband
has been attended with sudden change

PICKPOCKETS.
Arrest of a Gang of Suspected lndi-
viduals Yesterday.
Special officer Talbot Catches Two in
the Act of Divesting a Man of
His VaIuabieS.

There was great deal of excitement at
the race-track yesterday afternoon at
| tendant on the arrest of lot OF supposed
pickpockets by the officers. The rapid
ity with which seven of the suspected in
dividuals were arrested caused the stir.
There were present at the Park Officers
Shook, Maley, Wilson and Gibson and
Specials Talbot, Franks and Sullivan,
and they made it their special duty to
look after the sneaking individuals who
follow the fairs and gain a livelihood
ransacking the pockets of unwary people.
The regulars had little opportunity to
make arrests, being known to the crooks,
but the specials did some effective work,
especially Talbot.
Talbot noticed two men acting rather
suspiciously and he watched them.
While race was in progress he noticed
them elbow through crowd and exam
inc the pockets of an employe Of w. r.
Strong Il Co. He followed them farther
and saw them trying to ascertain if there
was anything in the way of coin in the
pantaloons of san employe of the Sur
veyor- Generals Office.
He still kept close watch on them and
| finally located the two and four others,
CeSssCl4y CASdSCu III COuf6TSdGlOH WlUn a
farm hand named Green. Two or three
of the party had succeeded in securing
! bets from Green and had him worked up
TO high pitch of excitement, when the
two whom Talbot had been following COM
menced to go through Green's pockets.
| Talbot called several bystanders to wit
ness the act, and then nabbed both of the
| men. One of them looked as though he
was going to make break for liberty,
| but he was quieted Immediately upon
seeing the officers drawn pistol.
| Officers Maley and Wilson came to the
| rescue and escorted the two men outside
the Park. A hack was called and the
! two men were told to take seats. One of
| them did, but the other jumped over tho
| door of the hack on the opposite side and
! started down G street. Maley was about
to take shot at him, when Officer Eldred
appeared, and the fleeing prisoner ran di-
rectly into his arms. Both men were
then handcuffed and taken to the police
station, where they gave the names of
George Cartright and Ike Golden.
| Later in the afternoon Talbot, on the
advice of Chief Drew, arrested the other
four men who had engaged Green in
conversation, and they were driven to
the lookup. Green was also taken down
to be held as witness.
Last evening the last four men were
allowed to go after Chief Drew had hello
a consultation with them.

In this direction to buyers? OF the variety extent and

sought to gather here everything new and everything de-
srable In the markets both at home and abroad And
particularly of the generous way in which Dame Fashion

The fact is we have never had more uniformly attrac-
tive lines OF goods than at present and trade is
very much larger than any other trade hereabouts is
reasonable to infer that the advantages presented are
correspondingly greater.
There is no reason why trade should not steadily
increase during the autumn And determined that
