cinity-SOcial Events.


Editor Ddily Morning Call: This sef t'on
OF the county never displayed better indica-
tons of growth and prosperity than at
present. Daily there are additions to the
population. Many have come merely for
summer outing and are so charmed with the
beauty and healthfulness of pretty Prta-
luna that they have concluded to remain
permanently. This will account for the
number of new houses springing up here
and there. From good authority it is stated
that there are fewer houses for rent in
Petaluma at present than at any time for the
past two years, and that the demand for
good, desirable houses is greater than the
supply. This speaks well for PetaIuma,
and when its advantages as place of resi-
dence get to be properly known and appre-
ciated there will be no better "hOme place"
in California. When this lOokcd-fOr time
approaches, one who has her welfare at
heart suggests that Petaluma be called the
'City of Happy Homes"
A change has taken place in the owner
ship of the woolen-mils. Morris Newburgh

chinery and facilities at hand 10 meet the
increasing demand for the product of these
mills. Consequently large amount OF new
machinery Will now be put in and the bust
ness enlarged as fast as possible. Au addi-
ton to the building is also arranged for and
will be commenced as soon as the weather
will warrant building. Another important
feature will be the addition to the business
of a wholesale depot.

vice of its own. The Golden Eagle Milling
Company have secured the full set of sig
nails, which will be displayed on the flag
staff on top of the mill. From this point

miles. In addition to this the indications
will also be announced by means of steam
