when / left Sacramento for Southern
California" said Governor Markham, 81
didn't feel very well, but after i got away
up in the San Ga briel Canyon, northeast of
fasadena. my appetite was marvellous and
L felt like new man. Our party included
the members of my own family and few
friends. We slept part of the time in ham,
Knocks, and had a thoroughly good time in a
free-and- easy style. l did good deal of
climbing and fishing in the mountains and
am enjoying better health now than for

other members of the party, taken during

string OF 200 fine trout 1.-The reason | pre-

he said, land have an opportunity to
thoroughly review the situation and the
merits of the different gentlemen L shall en-
deav0r to name the best man available, but
L shall not act hastily III the matter"
LABOR DAY.
at is reported that the Federated Trades
of Sacramento have asked you to declare
Labor day a public holiday" said the re-
porter. Have you arrived at q decision
yet?"
II haven't seen the communication to
which you refer. and have had no oppor-
tunity to consult Mr.. Higgins regarding the
letters for me in his possession. 1t may be
that the Federated Trades have addressed
me at Sacramento. and. If so, shall give
the matter immediate consideration. As
yet there has been no question to decide
regarding the holiday, and the matter has
not yet been brought to me for considera-
tion."
Governor Markham stated that he did not
see the necessity for calling a special ses-
sion OF the Legislature, the expense of such
proceeding being greater than any rem
edial effects which might result from re-
peal of former legislation. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the coyote boundary act
and tue common property law will remain
on the statute books at least until the next
Legislature is convened in due course.
