OF ROAD METHODS.

What an empire OF wealth and prosperity
might Golo County be if her natural re-
sources were utilized.-Woodland Mail
But what greater empire of wealth,
prosperity and general desirabillty Sac
ramento County would be if it had even
fairly decent country highways. Yolo,
with her trap-rock and plenteous creek
gravel, ought to have superior roads to
enable her natural resources to be util-
least not enough of them.
As for Sacramento County, with it's
greater and more varied and valuable re-
sources, and to which good roads are an
actual necessity, if these resources are to
be fully availed OF, she is even worse off
than Yolo County. Our roads are Just a
shade worse than the worst anywhere
else, for the simple reason that we refuse
to improve them according to the best
methods. We still go to the mill with a
stone in one end of the bag. We still
plow up, round up and sprinkle over
with small-sized cobbles; or leave the
heap of earth to be made mud by rain; or
we do neither and wallow in mire half
the year and smother in dust the other
hall. We have some thirty miles of pass
able earth roads, some fifteen miles of
fairly good graveled roads-and there our
good roads end,
We should have $50 miles OF good roads
radiatiug from the county seat, and can
have them if we will, at less cost than the
poor roads now entail upon the tax
payers. If a group of men insisted upon
paying nickel for pound-loaf of soggy
| bread, when for The same money they
could have two-pound loaf of light and
healthful bread, common sense would
pronounce them insane. Yet we are not
more sane upon the road question in
Sacramento County, since we cling to the
costly bad roads and refuse economic
good roads at no greater cost for the
latter than for the former.

Johnnie DrlscolI May BE Sent to a
Reform school.
Chief of Police Drew yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. NJ. j. Driscoll,
of los New street, Peoria, Ill.,, concerning
her boy, Johnnie Driscoll, who for the
last month has made his headquarters at
the police station in this city.
Young Driscoll, who claims to be II
years old, came to this city on the 22d of
last month and applied at the police station
for something to eat. He gave his name
as James Harris, and said his father con-
Quoted big grocery house in Chicago.
A few days ago the police officers became
convinced that the story he told, to the
effect that he was from Chicago and that
he had run away from home two years
ago, was not true, and put him under
lock and key. He has now consented to
give his true name and the history OF his
escapades. The statement that he was
from Chicago. and about his father run
ming grocery store there, he said was
false.
70 Chief Drew he said his name was
Driscoll, and that his mother lives in
Peoria. The Chief wrote to the boys
mother, and yesterday received the letter
in reply.
She states that her son has been away
from home for sixteen months, and he
had no reason whatever to leave his
mother. Mrs. DriscolPs husband is dead,
and she says rather than see her boy
roaming around the country in company
with tramps and dissolute persons she
would have him lying beside her hus-
band in the cemetery. The boy is an
lncorrigible, and his mother has lost all
control over him.
An effort Will be made to send the boy
TO reform school in this State.

ANOTHER GOLDEN WEDDING.
This Time the Happy Couple Are Mr.
and Mrs. David CarIey,

This Time the Happy Couple Are Mr..
and Mrs. David CarIey.
Last week the golden wedding of Mr..
and Mrs. James McGrogor was cele-
brated at the Westminster Presbyterian
Church, and last evening a similar event
took place at the Sixth-street NJ. L.
Church, just across the street.
The ceIebrants on this occasion were
Mr.. and Mrs. David Carley, old and gem
orally esteemed residents of Sacramento.
the church was filled to'itS utmost capa-
city with their friends. About the pulpit
were beautiful floral decorations with the
figures up and ''9F'-indicating the
year of their wedding and that of the
nitieth anniversary.
AT O'Clock Rev. NJ. d. Buck, pastor of
the church. read neatly Worded sketch
OF thu lives Of Mr.. and Mrs. Carley, from
which it was learned that away back in
1914 they were married in Syracuse, \.
y, by Rev. Edward Bannister. Mr..
Buck spoke of the long years that have
interviewed since they stood at the altar
and vowed to love one another through
good and evil aud until death should sep
arate them. He also spoke OF the happi-
ness that had characterized their long
married life, and concluded by perform
ing new marriage ceremony worded to
Miss Gertrude Carley-Auld then sang
with lnexpressible sweetness the favorite
hymn of her iOster-mother, "Oniy Re-
mem bered by W hat | Have Done" and
in response to a hearty encore she
warbled lullaby that went to the hearts
of everyone present.
MIR, Buck next presented "the happy
couple" with a beautifully bound and
illustrated volume containing a marriage
certificate and recital of the golden wed
ding ceremony, with spaces Tor the auto
graphs Of friends present thereat.
How Sweet the Hour When DAYLIGHT
Dies was sung by X. Il. Cohn and Hor-
ace Croker, after which Rev. r. II. b.
Anderson made brief congratuIatorv
remarks addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. Car
ley, in which he spoke of an acGuaint-
ance with them in this city dating back
nearly thirty years.
A poem written by an Eastern friend
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carley was read by Miss
Elizabeth BlaIsdell, aud Mrs. Frances
Moeiler favored the audience with a vocal
solo, accompanied by Mrs. &. 4. Neale
on the piano, who also accompanied the
other singers.
A basket of beautiful roses and other
flowers was presented by Mrs. Schadt,
President of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union. She said it contained
golden flowers and golden wishes, with
something else typical of the Golden
State, which was understood to mean a
purse.
Miss Carley then sang. by request,
The WATERFALL to her own accompani-
ment, and so captivated were her hearers
that she was compelled to respond to an
encore, giving "Berceuse," one of God
ards beautiful compositions.
THIS concluded the exercises, and for
the next hall-hour Mr.. and Mrs. CarIey
were surrounded by their friends, who
pressed forward TO tender their congratu-
lations and good wishes for continued
happiness.

CONSOLIDATION OF COMMUNITIES.

CONSOLIDATION OF COMMUNITIES.
The vote of the people of New York
and vicinity decided favorably on the
proposition to create "Greater Newly ork."
This is TO be done by the city spreading
itself by an extension ofjurisdiction over
all the very near lying cities and towns,
within the State bounds of course. But
the question is not yet settled. It must
now go to the Legislature and be finally
passed upon by that body. The outcome
there is certain to be favorable to the
scheme.
When consolidation was first preached
the smaller outlying communities OBJ
posed 1t, and it was believed at the time
that their consent could not be obtained.
Now, however, they have so generally
fallen in with the scheme that it is inter-
esting to inquire what brought about
the change OF sentiment. We have not
lar to go in that inquiry. The mass of the
people living in these places, excepting
only Brooklyn, do business or have close
relation to business in New York. Their
! interests are largely involved in the gov
ernment Of the great municipality, but
as they must vote where their homes are.
they have had no opportunity to make
| themselves felt IL administration of mu-
nicipal affairs. 1t was with them liter
ally taxation without representation.
Under consolidation these people all be-
come factors of voting strength in New
York.
Even in Brooklyn there is very largo
proportion of the people whose chief
business interests are in the city across
the water. In New York proper the
! tenement-house and low political and
! downtown elements have largely been
able to negative the uptown or residence
section voting classes. These latter are,
! as rule, conservative, law-abiding, and
wish city administration to be conducted
on business and economic lines. By the
consolidation of outlying communities
with that of New Y ork, this conservative
/ oAclnSuls ILLS ueC6lL anu practically nom
political element. will be so greatly rein
| forced that it will be able to control as
against the downtown wards. Hence
Tammany and machine politicians will
meet with check, for the ruralists are
almost to man in favor OF economic and
clean government. Their interests all
incline them that way. The result will
be that New York will not only become
the second city in the world as to size and
population, but the chances are that it
will become far better city, be more
economically governed and more clearly
ordered.
If ali this does not follow consolidation,
| then experience and wisdom will prove
TO have misled. 1t was realization of
| these truths that finally converted the
ruralists and smaller communities to the
Greater New York scheme and makes
the outlook for the future of our chief
metropolis very bright.

ness. Land steadily devoted to the pro-
auction Of wheat defertilizes and its ca
pacity to produce steadily diminishes.
Under the most favorable conditions as

eating in the next ten years the volume
OF the crops raised between 1870 and 1880.
1t has lost its ability to produce. No

1t Is physical, not an economic, fact

GOVERNOR WAITE has decided to go

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII4 inches.
There are $50 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SO and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
IS getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into rs big parts, 80
big pages in each, and printed on
nice superintendent paper-better
than ever betore-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as s.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
DICtlIreS alone are worth mora tboo
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers OF priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.
