THEIR BOUNDARIES FIXED.
Governor Budd AIlots the
Territory to the New
BrigadeS.
SIX GENERALS ARE DEPosED.
No Attempt to Be Made to Control
the Patronage of the Board
of Health.

At last the boundaries of the different
brigades have been fixed upon. The result
will startle most of those who have pro
fessed to know it al, as the entire Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys are fol
one brigade.
.. Itwas this matter that occupied Gov
ernor Budd the greater part of the day
yesterday. He labored over boundaries
and possibilities of defense and offense
and finally came to a decision.
San Francisco, the bay and the northern
coast counties are to form the First
Brigade. The San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento valleys and the northern mountain
counties are to comprise the Second
Brigade. The region south of Tehachapi
Monterey, San Luis Obispo and San Benito
counties make up the Third Brigade.
Who the generals are to be is still mat
ter of conjecture. Governor Budd says he
doesn't know. He feels confident, how
ever, that he will be able to reach de-
cision to-day or tomorrow, and he Will
then make his choice known.
Among other military affairs Of note that
transpired yesterday was the utterance
from the Governor to General Dimond as
division commander of an order that
serves as a notice to the six brigadier-gen-
erals that their functions are thing of the
past. That this latter effect was one OF
the things aimed at, the instructions left
no doubt.
Worded, Governor Budd said last night,
"but the idea tried to convey was that
the brigadier-generals had been declared
retired by a certain act passed by the last
Legislature. | therefore directed that the
major-generaIs be requested to appoint
proper officers to conduct the annual in
spection and muster"
Governor Budd said emphatically that
he had not made up his mind in regard to
who was to be adjutant-general. The ap-
pointnent, he added, would be made be-
fore he left San Francisco, if he could
reach it.
81 met Mr.. Scott the other day." he said
laughingly, land told him that l saw he
was to be appointed Acknowledgement.
Then / asked him if l had ever given him
any intimation, either personally or
through my, friends, that he was to be APP
pointed, and he said No. I told him |
was glad that he was so sure, as 1 did not
remember of ever having done so myself.
"rhey say Mr.. Cochrane is out of the
fight" he continued, land that the choice
now lies between Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Drift
fell. | know nothing OF this. No intima-
ton has reached me from Mr.. Cochrane
that he does not desire the appointment"
- Among the other appointments for this
week is that of the third Code Commits
sioner. He will be named as soon as pos
sible and will be a Republican.
No tearis now expressed or felt that a
slated Board of Health will be appointed.
Mayor Sutro has conferred with the Gov
ernor number of times and advises that
the most eminent physicians be chosen
who can be induced to accept the place.
He has named no one.
His ideas fit those of the Governor ex-
actly. Mr.. Budd reiterated last night hi:
intention of getting a Board of Health that
would be source of pride to the city.
IF you would have baking powder free
from every immunity use Dr.. Price's.
