1t will be seen by the score that Capt.

TREES FOR CAPITOL PARK.
More Expressions of Views on This
Interesting Subject.
a Citizen Who Thinks the Sidewalks
Should be Treeless-Another
Likes the Madrone.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Regarding the
subject of trees around Capitol Park,
beg to suggest that the sidewalks and
curbings be left free OF foliage, for the
reason that the view into the grounds
Will be obstructed. I have occasion, in
my business. to drive strangers about the
city, and delight in their ecstacy when
the park comes in view as it does now.
When the ''border' trees become high
and wide, with the growth our soil in
sures, view of the walks and flower
plots can be had from the dome only, and
that is not always easily reached.
Beside, the residents along the line of
the grounds will have their view cut off,
and on L street there will be more or less
dampness that will not be noticed if no
trees are planted.
In times gone by Sacramentans thought
living without being surrounded by a
forest was not living at all. In these
days, many of our young home-builders
are cutting down the old trees and falling
to plant new ones. Our best physicians
say we have too much shade, but our ce-
ment men say plant trees on your curb
1ngs, so that roots will put a hump in the
back Of the sidewalks.
SO, l say to the Park Commissioners
trim the old trees and don't plant new
ones outside the handsome fence. Let
the beautiful landscape these grounds
have been made into be not hidden from
the driveways. The grounds the picture,
the fence the frame. r. II. H.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Although sug-
gestions as to the kind of trees for plant
ing about the Capitol grounds may be
getting stale, I deem word for our
madrone lor madrona) tree as a proper
representation of California timber of
good appearance is not out of place. 1t
IS a shapely tree, a good grower and
would do well in that locality, I think.
If oranges are to be thought of, the
sour orange is in no way preferable to the
Usage orange, only in the cumbersome,
ungainly fruit of the latter. But this is
more than made up by the splendid
character of its timber, samples before
me, as | write, equaling rosewood in
texture, density and durability.
What is known in our mountains as
the willow liveoak is a beautiful tree, but
perhaps rather dense for the purpose de-
sired. This species of the Iiveoak is
hardly ever seen to flourish except in a
locality with deep soil and considerable
moisture. These conditions give a ma
jestic tree, naturally of good shape and
beautiful foliage. CALAvERAs.

Jar Compromised.
In the Police Court yesterday man
named William Hamilton, charged with
| being drunk, was not yet sober enough
to be intelligent, and he was given five
days in the City Jail in which to recover
his equilibrium.
A. Mentler, charged by his wife with
battery, had his case dismissed at the re-
quest of City Attorney Hart and Mrs.
Mentler. 1t was not a serious case. and
the woman looked as though she was
equal to emergencies.
Judge Cravens thought the couple were
old enough to abide in peace, and with
some good advice they were permitted to
go forth and try it again.
Charles Price, the excitable individual
who assaulted the depot baggage master,
Thomas Forbes, and was convicted of bat
terry on Thursday, received his sentence.
which was that he pay fine of 500 or
serve twenty-five days in the County
Jail.
Price had a new story of the trouble.
which differed materially from his first
statement and did not receive much con-
sideration. In pronouncing sentence
Judge Cravens told him he was an active
man, in the prime of life, while Forbes
was old and not his equal in fighting
qualities, and that he price, was in the
wrong all around.

SUFFER- FORT.
The Queer Things Which ScribbIer,
are Saying About 1t.


are Saying About 1t.
Last evenings San Francisco Post con-
| tanned sketch of the old Sutter Fort in
this city, copied from an exchange. in
which it was stated that 1.-The work of in
closing California's oldest historical land
mark, Fort Suffer, is now going forward.
At the last session of the Legislature an
appropriation OF 100000 was made to be
used for the preservation Of the fort y
The article further states:
The fort eventually lost its dignity and
became storehouse for hay. During
that period of its usefulness the tile root
was take of and modern one of shin
giles and ratters put in its place. Several
years ago the building was purchased bv
the State, and since then it has been un-
occupied. The fort will be inclosed in an
immense wooden building"
The author of the article wrote about
something of which he knew very little.
The State did not appropriate $1,000 for
preserving the fort. At the last session
of the Legislature $4,000 was given for
the purpose of restoring the old fort. with
its several buildings. TO their original ap-
pearance, including the great wall and
parapets. None OF the structures are of
wood, but of the original material-adobe.
The property was purchased with free
Contributions OF money from the Native
Sons of the State and others. chiefly
former pioneers, who had long since re-
moved from the coast. Colonel G. F.
Crocker alone subscribed $4,000 of the
sum required, which was something over
$40, 900.
The idea of ''inciosing the fort in an
immense wooden structure'' is absurd
The fort and its surroundings cover an en-
tire block of land, and when the work of
restoration shall be completed it will look
just as it did when the first pioneers ewes
fell upon it after their long and weari-
some marches across the plains.

Uses to Which Some People Want to
Put the Police.
Some persons seem to have queer no.
tions about the duties of policemen. a
few nights ago a man called on Night
Jailer Naghel and demanded that on the
following day an officer be sent over to
China Slough to see that a couple of sus-
pected boys did not modest his dollar
and-a-half skiff that was moored among
the willows.
Naghel told him that the city's police
men were otherwise engaged, but the
visitor left saying that he expected to
have an officer sent to the slough as he
had demanded.
The next night. while the jaiIer was
cooling his feet on the steam radiator.
the owner of the boat again put in an
appearance, and this time he was mad
clear through.
Now" said he, ''yer see what's hap
pened told yer las night ter send an
officer ter watch that there boat o. mine.
and yer didn't do it. It's jest as | ex-
pected-them kids went ter the slough

''HOw so?' asked the officer.

the city will hardly honor your claim for
damages. The next time you tie up your
scow you'd better hire man to watch it.
We haven't men enough to spare one for
each boat. If you still desire to do any
kicking, just go outside where there is
plenty of room and kick yourself for not
having little bit of sense"
About an hour later the telephone rang.
Hello " said the Jailer.
"Hellop' answers a voice at some dis
tant point.

That's none of your d business !
Just send hack down here immedi-
ately ?"
"All rightp' responded Naghel. 'sYou
just wait there till the carriage comes. y
And he resumed his seat, wondering who
would be the next idiot to disturb his
meditations.

Hobo Jack swore the purchase Of the
