COMMITTEE NON=COMMITTAL
The Absence of Claus Spreckles Causes
Some Delay
Delegation From the Stockton Commercial
Company Want to Learn What the
New Company Is to DO

San Francisco. Feb. 13.-The absence of
| Clans Spreckels from todav's meeting of
the Valley Railroad committee again
somewhat interfered with the work of
/ that body and nothing of Importance
| transpired during the session. w. f.
! Whittier stated that there was nothing to
give out TO the newspapers.
There was one noteworthy event, how
ever, and that was the appearance OF a
delegation from Santa Clara county,
which called for the purpose OF securing
some desired information. The commit
tee was headed bv Paul b. Austin,
Mavor of San Jose. and the other MEM
hers we're J. II. Henry, II. w Wright, c.
NJ Wooster and C. NJ. Shortridge.
In the conference with the general COM
mittee which followed, Mayor Austin, as
spokesman for the visiting delegation,
stated that the committees purpose in
coming here was to ascertain just what
was expected of Santa Clara county, and
he added that the people of that section
stood ready to grant about any require
ments that could reasonably be made.
In reply, the members of the general
committee pointed ont the fact that they
were not in position to promise any
thing; that the duty of deciding upon the
route of the road would devolvc upon the
board of trustees, when that body should
be elected, and advised the gentlemen
from San Jose to return home and pre-
pare a plan for submission to the board
which will embrace all the features favor
able to a route through the territory in
which they were interested This sug-
gestion was accepted by the visitors, and
they will now take up the work with that
object in view.
The San Jose committee is figuring
chiefly ON a branch line which may con-
meet with the main line at any desired
point in the San Joaquin Valley. The
report which its members will make to
the general committee will very likely
also contain statistical information bear

The house was occupied by MT Joe Smith, Ia locomotive engineer in the employ of the St. Louis Southwest ern Railway, and Mrs. Earring ton. When the occupants of the honse were aroused from their slum- bers, the fire had gained such a head way that they were unable to save many of their household goods and furniture. The house was owned by Mir. Chas. Hayeock, and it was valued at about $1, 300. It was in- sured for $1 900 in companies repre- sented by the Bell & Vernon agency.

A Nation Park to be Dedicated.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept, r: The Chickamaugua and Chatta- nooga National Military Park, to be dedicated Tuesday on the ami versary of the battle, is as yet in a very unfinished state. Out of twenty-eight States of the North which had organizations on the battlefelds in and about Chatta- nooga, only nine as have yet made appropriations for. the erection of monuments. These are: Michigan. Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Mis- souri, Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota and New York. It is calculated that five years will be required to com plete the project. Cickamaugua Park includes 5000 acres in Geor- gia, over which was fought the bat tie of Chickamaugua, and there are several smaller areas along the line of Confederate Notifications on Mis- sinary Ridge and the crest of Orchard Knob. These several areas, with their connecting bouleyards, form the park system, preserving within it's limits much of the ground covered by the battles of September and November, 1863. Much Eof the money appropriated lby Congress has been spent in roadmaking, so that now the different battle locali- ties are accessible. Points on Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge are reachad by electric aud cable lines. The government boule- yard, connecting with the Chick amaugua park system of carriage roads at Rossville Gap, runs north on the crest of Missionary Ridge to Bragg's headquarters and Sher- mans Heights.
