COUNTY BUSINESS.
The Supervisors Again at Their
Monthly Work.
Repairs TO the River Road at ii G
Johnston Ranch-More Help
for the Towards.

The Supervisors of the county are in
session again this week, having convened
yesterday for their regular monthly
meeting. Chairman Greer presided, and
all the members were present.
Tue first business in order was Super
visor Bates report on the condition of the
river road in the vicinity of ex-senator
William Johnston's place, near Court
land, where the bank had been cut away
during last springs freshet.
Mr.. Bates reported that he had visited
the place and authorized Mr.. Johnston to
drive row of piles to protect the road
way from further encroachment of the
river, and pending the repairs that gem
tleman had opened temporary roadway
through an old orchard.
Then Supervisor Jenkins reported that
he had examined the bridge over the
Laguna, seven miles from Hicksville,
and found it to be in a dangerous condi-
ton. He said the structure never was
any good. 1t is only ten feet wide to be-
gin with. The tifJy-SiX feet span is in
very bad order and the construction is
very poor. He had ordered repairs made.
Supervisor Miller called up the matter
of establishing the boundaries of election
precincts but after the board had voted
to act on the proposition its attention was
called by Supervisor Bates to the pres
ence of a man and woman who were
there seeking financial help. The couple
said they had been sent there by the
Towards, which association was unable
to aid them.
After delivering a shot at the Towards,
Mr.. Bates better nature asserted itself
as it often does-and he moved that the
board allow the association Sl50 a month,
instead of 500, to which figure its allow
ance was recently reduced.
Supervisor Miller mentioned the fact
that he had provided for having some in
digent persons sent to Portland, which
fact seemed to have inspired several of
their poor neighbors with a desire for
travelling at the county's expense.
Mr.. Bates motion TO increase the How
ards allowance was carried, and it was
also agreed to allow the association to pay
s. a month toward the rental of houses for
certain poor and needy persons.
Supervisor jenkins called attention to
the fact that about $50 feet Of piling was
needed to repair Washout in the road
approach to the Laguna bridge. He said
the road is practically impossible except
during the summer. Thousands of dol
lars have been expended in regarding the
washed out stretch, but each winter the
water rose and destroyed the work
Without acting on the suggestion the
board took a recess.
At the afternoon session the board de-
voted considerable time to the examina-
ton of claims against the county, and
then took up and approved the bonds of
Road Overseers CowleS, Buchanan. Clark
and Stevens, in the sum Of 81, 900 each.
The rest of the day was spent in exam
lining more bills, and the board took a
recess until 10 o'clock this morning.

feet, with top width of thirty
feet, and the same should extend to Y
and out to Ninth street.
Mr.. Coleman said that Superintendent
Wright had assured him the railroad
company would raise Front street from
three to five feet, probably the latter,
north of n street. Below that the COM
pany had only the right Of way for it's
tracks, the river front being used by other
transportation companies.
Trustee Conklin thought the board
should take little time and consider the
matter, but Trustee Green was of the
opinion that no time should be lost in
getting at work. There would necessa-
rlly be some delay, and the season was
slipping away.
After some further discussion it was
decided that the Trustees and the Engin-
neer would hold private meeting dur
ing the week to consider the subject and
decide upon what should be done.
After allowing the usual batch Of bills
the board adjourned.

ever, while the other two are utilized for
patients attacked with non-contagious dis
eases.
These vehicles have four wheels, pro-
vided with rubber-tires and are drawn by
one horse. The corners are rounded in the
interior and the sheetIrOn sides are painted
and vanished. They contain flexible
metallic seat for the nurse and litter for
the patient. A rubbeT-tube permits OF COM
intoxicating with the driver. In winter they
are heated with cylinders Of hot water.
Each of these vehicles is capable of
carrying one adult patient or two children
afflicted with the same contagious disease.
The ambulance is closed By the driver, who
must keep the key in his pocket; but the
door can be opened from the interior. So
20 outsider can open 1t by inadvertence.
The litter put in use, as In the top right

patient can be either seated or placed in a

turbed. 1t is arranged as IN armchair

passed through the stove for an indefinite

The patient having been brought down

duction or removal through rails arranged

No one In California who fully appreci-
ates the injustice that is done our State by
the Pacific Mail and railroad combination
can take any other view Of the present fight
against the Mail Company than that it is a
just one.
These men. Huntington, Gould and the
rest Of the gang of boodlers, have as little
sympathy for California as they have for
Madagascar or Borneo.
They have feeced this State Of s145o0.00O
in railroad subsidies, and are sill drawing
down big sums every month in that way.
II all comes from the people.
The bOodlers Eog everything ia sight.
They want to keep on drawing their big
subsidy from the Government for carrying
the mails.
That subsidy ought to be cut off at once.
THE CALL has already shown that con-
clusiyely.
But here is additional proof Of a nature
that must be convincing to everybody who
has CALIFORNIA; interests at heart
The Pacific Mail Company contracts with
the Government to make the through run
between this port and Panama in 10 days.
Only three out Of six steamers have made
that time IN the past two months.
Under its contract the Pacific Mail agrees
to take freight passengers and mails TO and
from San Diego.
AtfidaYits secured by Congressman
Bowers and printed elsewhere show how
that clause has been violated.
The Pacific Mail Company breaks its con-
tracts with neatuess and dispatch and goes
on its way smilingly, telling the public IN
effect that il can go where it is hotter for all
it cares
And then It has the assurance, the
audacity, to ask Congress to let the cheap
labor. BrtIsh-built steamer China fly the
American flag.
Where, under heaven, can any one find
such another instance of supreme gall?

She was a middle-aged woman, says the
New York Sun. She wore a black silk
dress. 1t was 80 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. She bought ticket at the main en-
trance Of the bridge, deposited it in the box,
saw the chopper work the handle of his ma
chine, and then lifting her skirts she
walked calmly upstairs. She got on the
last car Of the train, went inside and sat
down. The train was pulled up to the
center of the bridge and was speeding on TO
Brooklyn. This woman got up, walked to
the door and pushed it open ways. She
had soiled handkerchief, with a couple
of knots in IL. in her hand. This hand
she put out through the opening and
said 10 Conductor KIlbridge: VIII
you kindly drop that in the riyer?"
Conductor Kilbridge had on his gloves.
He took the handkerchief between the
tips Of his fingers and dropped it overheard.
This woman watched him do ii. Then she
turned back to her seat and sat down. This
part Of tho story is told by Conductor Kill

the moment the train started, took off her
gloves She then took from her ears the
large and brilliant solitaire earrings she
wore. and drew from her fingers three large

and then wrapped all the articles up, tied
two knots in tire handkerchief and walked

Head. and Brains.

Long heads are usually associated with
the possession of great intellectual strength
and mental capacity. Herr ID. Ammon,
however, who made examination Of the
cranial capacity of 5000 soldiers at Baden,
the results of which he communicated to
the German men of science at Heide berg,
Is Of the opinion that the size of the sknll
depends almost Invariably on the proper
tioas of the body. Tall men he found to
always have long skulls. or skulls of medium
length, whereas the short, fat men, as a
rule, had round, fat heads. Further in
vestigation and observation satisfied Herr
Ammon shat the majority of the round
heads came from the Black Forest; those
with the long heads usually came from the
valley of the Rhine and were especially
numerous from towns and from the neigh
