subscribed, and IL looks like the enterprise
would lie crowned with success. AS Is usual, the
men who are pushing the matter are not the
wealthy men or those who own property along
the lines, but active business men, who have
almost every dollar they POSSESS IN business
here. Santa Rosa has large number of very
wealthy men. but too many of them are of the
Kind that prefer 10 stand on street corners, with
their hands rammed dcwu In their pockets, ill.,
CLING their coin and listening to the interest
grow, rather than put 1t into enterprises that
would make lie town get TO the front IN the
march OF advancement.

other California towns, have made great mis-
taEe In asking too much for their property.

them. One year ago Colorado man came here
10 start big milling enterprise. He Intended 10
erect a mammoth mill, but when he sought real
estate on which TO build II he found that he
would have TO pay one-tllrd too much, aud so he
went 10 Stockton and put up his mill.

defeated them TO 4. When The Vallejo hosts
came in town their band played funeral march
To edify their opponents Dut when they went
away hey avoided all that Kind of music. Lots
OF money changed hands on the game and a Dig
q
OF Vallejo was well represented, and at least QUE
half Of "a carload were drunk as lords before they
left town.
