THE WORK TO BEGIN.
Making Ready for Crushing Rock for
Road Metal.

Making Ready for Crushing Rock for
Road Metal.
Highway Commissioner J. L. Maude
lett yesterday for Folsom where he will
at once begin the preliminary work look
ing to the erection of the States rock
crushing plant. There is needed first a
typographical survey, and next analysis
of the trap rock; then the plating OF a
site for the machinery. with a view to it's
most economical use and easiest dis
charge into cars of the prepared road
metal. Then will come the taking of
bids for machinery and finally its
purchase and setting up. In the mean
time the work OF securing the proper
automatic carriers for use on flat cars, to
save cost OF handling at point of de-
livery, will GO Oh along with other inter-
mediate work.
State Prison Director K. Il. Devlin is
associated with Commissioner Maude in
the Immediate duties of preparing the
plant for operation. Mr.. Maude yester-
day said that it is the determination of
the committee to push the work with all
possible haste, but with an eye to econ
omy, ana TO securing full dollars
worth for all the State does and buys in
the matter. He holds it to be wise to
make haste. but not TO sacrifice strength,
durability and desirable machinery and
proper construction OF platforms, beak-
ers, foundations, etc., to desire to
furnish road metal quickly.
The hope is that metal will be- ready
for delivery by October lst, but that can
not be definitely known until the bids
for machinery are in, but it is altogether
probable that plenty of trap-rock road
metal will be ready for delivery long be-
fore the rainy season sets in.

HE WAS THANKFUL

One day there was traveller in the
woods in California in the dry season,
when the trades were blowing strong.
He had ridden long way and he was
tired aud hungry, and dismounted from
his horse to smoke his pipe. But when
he felt in his pocket he found but two
matches. He struck the first and it
would not light. Here's a pretty state
of things" said the traveller. dying
for smoke; only one matcn left. and
creature so unfortunate? And yet"
thought the traveller, suppose | light
this match and smoke my pipe, and
shake out the dottle here in the grass
the grass might catch lire, for it is dry
like inder, and while l snatch out the
flames in front they might evade and
run behind me and seize upon yon
bush OF poison oak before | could reach it
that would have blazed up. Over the
bush [ see pine tree hung with moss;
that. too would fly in fire upon the in
slant to Its topmost Dough; and the
flame of that long torch, bow the trade
wind would take and brandish that
through the iniammable forest! [ hear
this dull roar in a moment with the
Joint voice of wind and fire; see myself
gallop for my soul and the fleeing con-
hagration chase and outflank me through
for days. and the cattle roastsd and the
springs dried up and the farmer ruined
and his children cast upon the world.
What world hangs upon this moment"
With that he struck the match and it
missed fire. Thank God - said the
traveller, and he put his pipe in his
pocket. Robert Louis Stevenson.

SANTA BARBARA'S TAX RATE
Only a Slight Increase Over Last Years
Levy
A Quantity of Business Transacted by the
Supervisors-No Bounties for Squir-
rel and Gopher ScsIps

SANTA BARBARA. Oct. 9.-1he city
council fixes the municipal rate of taxa
tion at $1.40. This levy includes proposed
expenditures for a suitable water sup
ply, and is an increase of 10 over last
year. The total rate of state, county.
school and city taxes to which propert y
situated in the city of Santa Barbara is
subject for the year 1895. is $3.05 on
each 500 valuation. With nearly the
same valuation in 1894. the total rates
amounted to $2.s5.
THE SUPERVISORS.
The board of supervisors today acted
upon large nun Der of petitions for
roads by denying several and granting
few. The county surveyor was authorized
to procure an Off ce at a rental not to eX
coed $40 month. The bonds OF the
Bonita school district were sold to the
Commercial bank for $500 at "a premium
of $ll0, and g. B. Gagliardo secured the
entire $40, 900 bond issued by the Guada-
lupe school district by the payment of
premium of 1925. The board passed an
ordinance creating the office OF stock in
spector and defining his duties, and the
same will be in effect within two weeks.
The tax collector was ordered to publish
tax notices anc attend in person at LON
poe, Los Alamos, Santa Maria, Guadal upe
and Lisanoc and Santa Ynez Tor the pur-
pose of receiving taxes. The petition of
Ellwood for an additional Appropriation
OF $3.50 to maintain a Santa Barbara ex-
hibit at Atlanta was denied. Several in
digent matters and much other routine
business was disposed OF during the day
The ordinance granting bounty of 2
cents each on squirrel and gopher scalps
was repealed by the following vote: Ayes
w. W. Broughton, E. p. Sawyer and A.
b. Williams. Noes-Walter Elliot and
Eduardo de la Cuesta. This ordinance
has been in effect for six years and its re-
peal occasoned a warm discussion this
afternoon, Supervisor de la Cuesta OF
Santa Ynez remarking, "You haven't
any squirrels down here. but you have
paupers which are a damned site worse. "
A 4 80 p. m. Elliot moved to adjourn
until Friday morning at 10 a. M; the
motion was seconded by de la Cuesta and
it went through. The other me m bers
supposed that it was the usual motion
to adjourn to the following day, and are
astounded to learn now that they cannot
meet tomorrow. The supervisors of the
Third and Fifth districts may not be able
to exterminate pests, but they know how
to get day off to attend the Ventura
races.

AZUSA TO INCORPORATE
And Is Already Assuming City Features
Such as Burglars
The People Pleased With the Supervisors
Action - Two Cases OF
Robbery

AZUSA, Oct. 9..-The people of Azusa
are greatly pleased at the action OF the
board of supervisors on Tuesday in final
ly determining to order an election on
the subject OF town incorporation. A
strong and bitter fight was made before
the board by the large land owners in
this vicinity to cut down the boundaries
of the proposed incorporation to the mere
site where the town now is, as outlined
on the map of the Azusa Land and Water
company. The petitioners asked that the
boundaries include The whole ranch, but
the board reduced the lines by leaving
out all the ranch land east of the Vos-
burg road, and fixed the northern bound
airy at the Sierra Madfe road and the
southern boundary at First street. from
the Vosburg road to the river. The river
is generally the western boundary. The
people are satisfied with these boundaries,
as they will give the Incorporation suffi-
cient assessable territory to carry ont
their design of making Azusa an import
ant town. The election will take place
within thirty days. and it will be carried
by very large ii not nearly unanimous
affirmative vote.
BURGLARS AT WORK.
This vicinity has been the scene of the
operations Of gang of enterprising burg
lars the past few nights. Tuesday night
they entered the premises of Rev. r. w.
Clelland. After rumaging the house and
finding nothing they cared to carry away.
they retired to the kitchen and helped
themselves to the viotaals they found.
Last night these same gentry, it is pre-
sumed, invaded the premises OF Colonel
James j. Ayers. They entered his barn
and carried out chest and leather port
manteau. The chest they carried into an
adjoining lot and with an AK and chisels
they had secured in the barn, they broke
it open and strewed it's contents over the
ground. 1t contained nothing but old
letters and papers. The portmanteau was
empty. So they got nothing until they
entered the basement of the residence.
Here they helped themse to milk etc.,
and some underclothes. AS far as is now
known they got no further booty.
NOTES.
The farming community here are look
ing longingly for rain and everybod
would like to see heavy sprinkling SO
as to settle the roads, which are now fear
fully dusty.
The Fruit Growers exchange here has
been thoroughly reorganized and will in
clude in its mem bership the coming sea-
son all, or nearly all, the citrus orchard
lists in this valley. The association did
so well for It's mem bers last year as to
reconcile all the "kickers" who held
aloof from it. The outlook for the citrus
fruit this season is very fine.
