CHANGES At VIVA.
The Force of Men Has Been Greatly
Reduced.

Reduceus
a correspondent of the RECORD UNION
sends the following interesting news
from Vina:
Mrs. Stanford arrived here last Tues
day in her private car, accompanied by
her private secretary and Stephen Gage.
she completed her mission and returned
last evening to San Francisco.
While here she put great many
changes Into ettect-that is, so far as the
conduct and future management of the
Nina ranch and vineyard are concerned.
Inc Nlna interests have now been
separated into three departments, each
independent OF the other, and under
charge OF superintendent. j. 5. CoDe-
!and is placed in charge of the farming
interests. The wine and vineyard de-
parluents nave been consolidated and
placed under the management Of Charles
Staubs. Mr.. Staubs was formerly cellar
master at this place. The third depart
hent IS made up of the distillery and all
Drandles IN both bonded and private
warehouses. The latter is under SUPER
vision Of W. w. Guptile, who was
brought here by Mrs. Stanford to assume
control OF that branch of the business.
Captain II. w. Mcintyre, who was the
late Governor Stanford's general agent
here, has been reappointed by Mrs. Stan
Iord as her agent in charge of general
business.
This change in the management of
details" said Mrs. Stanford, will relieve
Captain Mcintyre of class of work
which in the past has taken up a great
deal OF his time. By this arranrement
he will be enabled to give his attention
and time chiefly to Vina products. especi
ally wines and brandies, at home and
abroad"
Yesterday a great reduction was made
IN the working force. The entire French
colony, sixty odd in number, brought
here by Governor Stanford from France.
some SIX years ago, were discharged. The
majority OF the latter informed your cor
respondent that they would at once re-
turn to their native land. The help on
the entire ranch, which in former years AT
this season numbered from six to eight
hundred men, has been reduced to about
one hundred and twenty-five men.
Ihe crop this year, which is very larpe
warrants the disposal of a considerable
quantity Of grapes to other winemallers
A Sacramento firm has purchased some
l,oOO tons OF wine grapes, shipment of
which will be commenced during the
coming week.
The town of Vina, which has been
ABOUT one OF the most prosperous in the
State, will feel the effects of the MANY
changes made here within the past few
days.

The Road Convention.
[San Jose Mercury

The State Road Convention which is to
assemble in Sacramento at noon on next
thursday will be charged with one of the
most important tasks that now cOnfronts
the public-spIrited men of California. In
Santa Clara County the rural highways
have been for so long q time kept in an
almost perfect condition that it is difficult
for Us to realize how backward some of
the other counties of the State are III this
essential feature Of rural development.
Abundant evidence exists, however, to
prove that in road construction Santa
Clara County is an exception to the gen.
eral rule, and that taking the State
throughout there is an imperative need
for reform i'll the management Of the
county roads.
1t would perhaps have been better if
the State Convention had been held in
San Jose, where the delegates could have
seen roads atiording an object lesson III
the art OF constructing highways and in
the best methods of maintaining them.
THIS, however, IS a point which is now
too late to discuss. The convention has
been called to Sacramento and will meet
there. Ii it does not find in that city the
advantages it would have found in San
lose, 1t Will doubtless find others to COM
pensate for the loss. 1t will at any rate
hnd Itself III a community actively in
sympathy with road improvement, while
mere IL WouIu nave lOund community
well satisfied with things as they are.
The earnest desire for better roads in
Sacramento County will instill itself into
the minds of delegates from the counties
that have the same needs, and perhaps
the enthusiasm for improvement will
have more effect in arousing the energies
of the backward counties than the object
lesson OF our good roads would have had.
There is, therefore, abundant reason for
ltC f1-It, l,n
convention, and when it meets it is to be
hoped that able and earnest delegates
from every county in the State will be
present to respond to the first roll-call.
