Santa Rosa Water Works, made flying visit to

Hotel waiting for gentleman TO keep an ap-
pointment with him, but the appointment was
not kept and the Santa Rosan fell to discussing
the slowness OF San Francisco people.

The project which is now being worked
up in Boston, New York and Chicago to
form colonies to settle the West is worth
watching by the Board of Trade and SINH
lar bodies in the various counties of Cali
fornia. If the colonies are to be composed
of persons to have sufficient means to
achieve success inducements might be
offered for them in this State, but if the
scheme is simply plan to rid the Eastern
cities of penniless people we ought to see
to it that our State is not made the dump
ing ground for them.

MANUFACTURERS AWAKE.
THEY TAKE MUCH INTEREST IN
THE CONVENTION TO BE
HELD HERE.
MANY OF THEM WRITE LETTERS
URGING ON THE WORK Illus
BEGUN.

The manufacturers of the city have
caught the fever of enterprise which is
stirring up the latent energies of San Fran
cisco's citizens, and are moving in the
matter of the convention which is to be
held here on the 18th inst. in manner
which indicates a successful issue.
Circulars were recently sent to all the
large wage employers of this city in which
notice of the coming convention was given,
and the statement made that it's object was
to educate the masses to the needs OF fos-
tering home industries, to secure the
necessary legislation in behalf of those in
dustries. and to take an active Interest in
general business affairs. In reply to these
many favorable answers were received.
From among the list ]. p. Currier, presl-
dent of the Carson Currier Company, man
ufacturers of silk goods, has this to say:
'We are heartily in sympathy with this
move and we believe it is very important
step in the right direction. 1t is fact that
local manufacturers have been greatly
handicapped and the consuming public
does not give the local manufacturers the
support and assistance which is necessary
to sustain and encourage manufacturing in
this city and State. Manufacturing is what
the State needs to give permanent employ
ment to large number OF people"
0. E. Moore, president of the Bay City
Iron Works, says that corporation is in line
with the movement. eve are with you

he, "and we will attend the convention
and do all we can to make it a success"
II. and L. Block of the Pacific Glove
Works say they are glad to see move in
this direction and that one of the firm will
certainly attend the convention, and the
firm of Armes & Dallam write that they
''think such an organization of manufac-
turers will be productive of good results"
and that their house will be represented.

NJ. Y. c. CUP RACE.
The Third Event Will be Sailed
Saturday.

The third cup race of the Mime
tonka Yacht club will take place on
Saturday, July q, at 2:3O p. m, and is
most eagerly anticipated by the
yachtsmen of the club, who are MAX
ing most extraordinary preparations
for the event. There have so far been
two cups, and two championship
races sailed by the club this year, of
which the Kite has won one cup race,
that of June 29-while the Marie COB.
bled UP all the rest. Should the Marie
win this race on next Saturday she
will capture. the cup prize and the sea-
sons championship, and the result will
be to dampen the ardor of the yachts
men and cause them to lose interest in
the future events of this season.
For this reason every effort is being
put forth by the other boat owners to
have their boats in such shape as will
insure their being in prime condition
and, if possible, to capture the race
it is, practically the whole fleet against
the Marie.
There has been some disappointment
expressed by members of the club over
the fact that there were but six cup
and championship races scheduled for
this season, whereas in previous years
there have been seven. To compensate
for this, the regatta committee have
concluded to have a special race,
which will be sailed on Aug. 8, but will
have no bearing on the championship
for the season, although prizes will be
awarded the winners in their respective
classes.
Just prior to the last regatta one of
the daily papers published an item
that the Acte had proved unsatis-
factory as a judges boat, and that the
Victor had therefore been engaged in
that capacity. This is characterized
by the regatta committee as an I'M
qualified fake-the Acte is one of the
best boats on the lake, and, as she is
giving entire satisfaction to the re-
gatta committee and the judges, they
have no idea, of engaging any other
boat, and those interested are notified
that unless something unforeseen at the
present time occurs, the Acte will be
the official judges boat for the balance
of the season.

The amended bids received were not as
low as the original Pauly bid, although.

Mantel and Marble company were
asked to present revised bids, together
with specifications of the work to be
done.
Clinton H. Menelley, of Troy, N. Y,
was invited bsfore the committee and
talked for over an hour on the subject
of bells. The committee asked the
gentleman a number of questions tend
ing toward the selection of a bell for
the court house.

things are being hustled Along. It
begins to look as if everything would
be done by Sept. 1, as agreed.
