Here is a notable wager from the
Washington (Ga.) Chronicle:
We'll bet these concerted efforts
to reduce the cotton acreage will in
crease it. It certainly will be if the
individual farmer thinks that all his
brethren are going to plant small
crops and thus run up the price"

Why Nor This SIDE oFTHE BAY?-If
San Francisco cannot suffer her magnlf-
cent park TO be despoiled by the holding of
partial Worlds Fair therein Berkeley has
several sites TO offer for it. There is a
large tract between here and Oakland ac-
cessible by two electric lines, within an
hour from San Francisco, and second
tract on San Pablo avenue. on the main
line of the Southern Pacific. and hence
easily reached from all parts of the State
and only fifty minutes ride from San Fran
cisco. Either of these would be most suit
able if the fair could be held on this side
the bay.
BOARD OF TRUSTEEs.-An important
meeting of the Board of Trustees will be
held this evening. Action will be taken
with reference to leasing the towns electric
light plant to the Berkeley Improvement
Company, the successor IF the company
which has heretofore enjoyed the lease
and furnished the town with one OF the
poorest services in the country. The new
company promise to make the service
equal to the best. Action will also be
taken with reference to number of pro-
posed street improvements to which pro-
test is made by the property-ownerS.
ANOTHER ELECTRIC LINE Messrs.
Alsip and Whltmore OF Oakland have
visors for a franchise to build and operate
another electric line between Berkeley

ley along College avenue, which runs just

PICTURESQUE UTAH.
Wonders of Nature in the Mountain
June Californian.

June Californian.
The mountain regions of Utah are said
by many travellers and artists to possess
attributes of beauty unrivaled by those of
any other country. The immense sweeps
of landscape, whose distances are not to
be estimated by any one unaccustOmed to
regions OF this nature, are surprising, and
are possessed of grand and rugged SIM
plicity that affords a special opportunity to
abe artist who is fond of laying his cOlors
on his canvas in broad. sweeping strokes.
Mountains upon mountains seem to rise.
receding into haZy distances, while great
valleys roll away in gentle slopes or pause
abruptly at the bases of grim precipices.
Alpine lakes abound, and great roaring
streams and cataracts tear down through
the gulches to the valleys below-spendid
forces vi hen turned to purposes of useful
ness.
The mountains are demonstrative of i'm
menslly in every respect-the splendid
lines carved in their sides sometimes
sweeping from highest peak to base. Their
formations are unique, differing from those
of other mountainous regions, partially on
account of the aridity of the climate,
which Is not productive Of the same yege
tation usually found among other noun
tain ranges. At certain points, where
mountains are usually we'll clothed, there
is no decduous foliage. The Wasatch and
the Uintahs present the appearance of
grassy plains slopIng gently TO the base of
the mountains, while numerous canyons
break their continuity at intervals. These
canyons are formed by the action of the
elements on the Ountain mass, whose
erosion cuts through the breast of the
range, regardless of the kind or hardness
of the rocks of which it is formed. They
seem to radete from certain centers, their
Al y,
rather ordinary scenery, while the upper
most parts are wild and emerge into a eli
max of grandeur in towering cliffs and
rushing waters.

MAKING THE DUST FLY.-Ihe contrac-
tors for street improvements are making
the dust fly. All the big jobs are now
being set on foot. that they may be en-
tirely completed before the first fall rains.
A small army of men are grading Shattuck
avenue, the contractors are rushing the
grading Of Louisa street, while a force of
men and teams equal to both the former is
grading, matchmaking and sewering
streets in the Daley Scenic Park tract.
The 300-foot conduit for Straw berry Creek
las just been completed. and the old bed
Of the creek is being filed in. University
avenue from the bay to the East End is
being macadamlZed, while on the south
line sewer on Folger avenue steam
dredger and large force of men are at
work. All in all, Berkeley is now very
busy place.
AN ARIsToPHANEs Nor NEEDED.
Though Berkeley to the Pacific Coast, like
Athens was to Greece. may be the center
of literary culture, yet the parallel will not
extend to the eagerneSs OF their respective
citizens to attend the law courts and as

The entire day was consumed in interro-
eating Jurymen.
A BAD PIECE OF WoRK.--In the re-
macadamizing of University avenue-the
principal artery between East and West
Berkeley-certain portions unusually well
macadamized the first time were excepted
from the contract. AT the same time the
grade OF the center of the street was raised.
The result Is that where the remacadam-
lied portions join the excepted portion,
which occur all along, there are jogs Of
from four 10 six inches with street level,
giving the avenue a peculiar undulatorv
appearance. An Efforts being made TO have
the fault rectified by getting the owners of
property along the excepted portions TO
have them remacadanliZed by private con-
tract, but 1t is not proving very successful.
