TO SACRAMENTO
The OStrander Gun Company
Decides Upon Its New
Location.
menced at Once and Pushed
Vigorously.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. The Sacra-
mento Industrial improvement Company
has scored victory and has perfected all
arrangements whereby the Ostrander Gun
Factory will remove its plant from Boston
to this city.
Since it became known that this COM
pany had determined to remove its factory
to the Pacific Coast, its representative,
Charles ]. Swift, has been the recipient of
numerous offers of locations in various
cities. Sacramentos offer, however, ex-
celled in all points, and the low rate at
which electric motive power could be Sc
cured materially assisted the firm in arriv-
ing at its decision to close deal with the
Improvement Association. The directors
of the association this morning accompa-
MED Mr.. Swift and Mr.. O'Brien, the latter
a practical builder in the employ of the
Ostrander Company, to the available sites
offered, for the purpose of making selec-
ton, and building operations for the plant
will shortly be in progress. 1t is expected
that the plant will be running by the first
of next year, and it will materially add to
the growth of New Sacramento,

THE STANDARDS EYE.
1t Was Upon the Field and May
Still Be Looking That
Way.
DOES NOT WANT THE CONTROL.
But Seeking to Become a Big
Purchaser of Only the Crude
Petroleum.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 5.-For some
time the oil business here has been at a
practical standstill. The supply has been
greatly in excess of the demand and the
prices received have been very discouraging
to the producers. An oil exchange was
formed in Los Angeles to change all this,
and for the past two months great deal
of talk has been heard about pipeline to
Santa Monica or San Pedro, whence the
oil was to be run into steamships and
transported to San Francisco and the
north.
This plan seemed slow in materializing
and matters were looking very blue, when
the announcement leaked out that the
Standard Oil Company had its eve on the
California oil fields and woula soon help,
or kill, the producers.
Now James c. Harvey, the local agent
of the company, corroborates the state
ment by saying that the Standard people
intend entering the field as purchasers OF
crude petroleum, which they will ship by
rail to various points of consumption.
According to Mr.. Harvey his employers
are coming to bless and not to curse. They
DO not intend to buy any territory or to
lease any land. They are to be simply
purchasers of crude oil, upon which they
hope to make a margin of profit. The
company has some 500 tankcqrs, a portion
of which will be sent out here in the next
thirty days, when operations will be be-
gun. Mr.. Harvey claims that the general
effect will be to greatly widen the market
for Los Angeles oil, and that the producers
will receive better price.
1t has been intimated that the Standard
Oil Company was attempting to gain con-
troll of the Oil Exchange and this was not
considered an unreasonable belief. Under
present conditions this could not hurt the
actual producer and would probably be a
great help to him in disposing of all the
oil he might raise at fair price. In the
natural course of events, however, CHEAP
oil would have attracted manufacturers to
this coast and it was hoped by many that
the advantage of climate in the saving in
the heating of mills, ETC., added to the
lessening of the cost of fuel would open up
a new era of progress. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that this new move of the
Standard Oil Company will not tend to
delay progress.

committee of which G. w. Worthen,
master of San Jose Grange, is chairman,
to make thorough investigation as to
what agricultural industries pay best in
California and how to make agriculture
most profitable. Mr.. Worthen Is also a
member of the educational committee, one
side OF whose work will also be along the
same lines. 1t is proposed by such means
to make the grange of practical use as well
as means of social enjoyment.
The new master is a young and vigorous
man and heartily in accord with the pro-
gressive spirit of the grange, as are also all
the past masters and other leaders OF the
order.
After harmonious and profitable ses-
sion of five days the grange adjourned at

Feast of Pomona and Flora
Provided for the Guests
Entertainment.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE LAST DAY
Appointment OF Committees tt
Labor in the Interest Of the
Farmers.

MERGED, CAL, Oct. 5.-The feast of
Pomona and Flora prepared for the enter
tainment of the State Grange was mag
nificent display OF fruits and flowers, in
terspersed with edibles of more substan-
tial nature. The large Agricultural hall
was filled with loaded tables, whose boun-
ties were enjoyed by more than thou
sand guests. The hall was decorated in
an exceedingly tasteful manner, while
upon the stage Ceres. Pomona and Flora,
the typical goddesses of the grange, were
arranged with their train in a beautiful
tableau and were served on their thrones
by attendants, the MERGED band discours-
ing music through the feast.
The members of the grange are enthusi-
astic over their entertainment, and to-day
passed the most hearty resolutions which
could be framed expressive of their appre-
citation of the hospitality of the grangers
and citizens of MERGED.
The closing work of the grange con-
sisted in the adoption of resolution for
an aggressive campaign for increasing the
membership of the grange upon the basis
of definite educational work to be carried
on in the oranges under the direction of

Roache. The committee appointed con-
ssts of Edward f. Adams of Wrights,
George W. Worthen and Professor c. w.
Childs of San Jose, with the master and
lecturer of the State Grange as ex-officio
members.
A legislative committee. with Past
Master s. T. Coulter as chairman, was APP
pointed with instructions to proceed by
organized methods to procure in all politi-
cal parties nominations of honest men
materially interested in rural affairs for
legislative positions, and to promote dur
ing sessions of the Legislature the passage
of laws specially desired by farmers.
The grange expressed the opinion that
the State Board of Agriculture should be
composed of practical agriculturists, mean
ing thereby that it should not be COM
posed of racehorse men, and a committee
was appointed to watch future vacancies
and see that such men were appointed or
find out why not.

mine looking favorable. The shaft is down

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Mystery Surrounds the Dro,caing Q
Mrs. FVasiJe

MRS. Fturttte.
SACRAMENTO. CAL, Oct. 5.-The body
of Mrs. FlaviIle was discovered in the river
by a fisherman at o'clock Yesterday
1t was lodged between two limbs of snag
some thirty feet from the shore off the
foot of X street.
When removed to the Morgue it was dis
covered that the woman's watch and
chain were missing and that her purse had
disappeared, but there was not the slight
est signs of violence on the body.
The last time Mrs. Flayille was seen
alive was at IL o'clock last night, when she
was seen in the company of Deb White, an
employee of one OF the river steamers, going
in the direction of the river.
The man has also disappeared, and it is
believed that in crossing from one barge to
the other the woman fell into the river and
White sprang to her assistance and was
also drowned.
White was widower with three chill
dren, and has always been considered a
man of very steady habits.
The officers are of the opinion that Mrs.
Flaville's death was due to an accident,
but are at a loss to account for the absence
of her watch and purse.

work of replacing wornout walks has been
steadily prosecuted, and in 1894 5.7i miles
of concrete sidewalk was laid within the
city limits; 2.61 miles of granite curbing
was also placed in position during the
same year.
Since January to October of the pres
ent year 5.64 miles OF cement walk have
been laid, with 2.S3 miles of curbing.
That the street improvement movement
has made steady progress is evinced by
the fact that within that period seventy
seven blocks of streets and alleys have
been bituminized, paved with blocks,
graveled or macadamized, at total cost of
$155, 900 Such has been the result of the
movement inaugurated few years ago, by
progressive citizens, and the end is not

APPOINTED. ILLEGALLY.

Supervisors Cannot Create the Office of
License Tdo Collector.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 5.-At.orney-
General Fitzgerald has rendered an opinion
that the appointment of license tax collec-
tors by Boards OF Supervisors throughout
the State was illegal and that all taxes
should be collected by the sheriffs, who
are the natural tax collectors. The opinion
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is based upon a
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
of the County of Ell Dorado vs.. Miers (Cal.
100, page 271l in which it is held that a
license collector, if an officer, exercises a
public duty in the collection of this part OF
the public revenue, and the Board of Super
visors of a county has no power to create
such an office upon its own view of public
necessity or convenience.
