THROUGH THE CITY.
PROPOSAL TO CONNECT GOLDEN |
GATE PARK WITH SAN JosE.

PROPOSAL TO CONNECT GOLDEN
GATE PARK WITH SAN JOSE.
The proposition to establish boulevard
between San Francisco and San Jose is
growing. 1t is growing more in San Fran
cisco than in any other direction, and the
result will be a half-dozen bouleyards
built within the limits of San Francisco
that will connect with the main artery
that will lead toward the foothills of San
Mateo and the orchards and VINEYARDS of
Santa Clara.
One has already been suggested that of
connecting driveway from Golden Gate
Park southwark to the southern limits of
the city at whatever point the main boule-
ward shall start. Such road would form
practical southern outlet from the park
and pass through that section of the city
which presents some grand views of the
ocean and other scenery.
Some of the property-owners along the
route suggested have signified their willing
ness to grade and macadamize their por-
ton of such a driveway as shall pass
through their property. The owners of
the lands through which the boulevard
would run, in the order of their holdings.
are: Mayor Sutro. the Spring Valley Wa
ter Company, J. P. Mccarthy, w. NJ. Fitz-
hugh, Sunnyside Land Company and va
rious property-owners at both ends of the
line
The owners of property along the line
who have already promised to build their
share include the land from Laguna
Honda on the north to Mayor Sutro's land
on the south.
The proposition is to construct boule-
ward or driveway, beginning at the juno
ton OF Seventh avenue with the park, to
extend south on Seventh avenue TO La
guna Honda, the lower lake of the Spring
Valley water works. The line would then
run, according to the surveys that have
been made. along the west bank of the lake
III a southerly course across the Market
street extension. continuing in that direc-
ton along the Almshouse road through tie
Almshouse tract to point where the San
Miguel road reaches Stanford Heights.
Thence the line runs east to Stanford
Heights avenue, and turning right angle
continues south for half, mile when it
bears Off to the east, forming an irregular
semicircle for nearly quarter of mile.
then proceeds south for another quarter
mile, and again making an angle runs
west nearly quarter mile to the lands
of Mayor Sutro.
The survey indicates about half mile.
running directly west through Mayor
Sutro's lands and then a quarter mile
south to Arlington street, thence along
that street to Ocean View.
This route, of course, may be subjected
to changes. but it has been selected with
the idea of combining certain economical
advantages with superior scenic attrac-
tons.
The Almhouse road is now beautiful
driveway which only needs widening.

Placer Miner GIOver NGrrOtcly Escape,
Death at an Unknown Persons Hands.
AUBURN, CAL, March 2S.-A mar
named Glover attempted to mine on 1
claim on the American River to-day, wher
he was frightened away after receivings
scalp wound from a rifle ball fired by an
unknown person.
The wound is only slight, and when seen
by the officers Glover refused to talk much
about the affair and claimed that he was
struck with a piece of quartz.
The affair occurred on the ground of one
Gomez, Mexican. Grace, another Mex
lean, friend of Gomez, is reported as say
ing that certain man was liable to get
hurt if he attempted to mine in a certain
locality. There seems to be little mining
excitement here and locations are being
filled thick and fast, every miner thinking
he has bonanza and, of course, being
watchful of it.

The Blu That Prorides for 1t Signed oar

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 2S.-Senate
bill 500 also escaped the Governors veto
and has become law. 1t provides for the
establishing of rock-crushing plant at
Folsom Prison to be operated by convict
labor and the power that is controlled by
the prison directors. The rock crushed by
the plant is to be used for road building
purposes and sold for that purpose at an
advance OF 10 per cent ON the actual cost of
manufacture. 1t is hoped that by furnish
ing good road material at the low price of
the cost of production by convict labor
it will tend to promote the building
of good roads throughout the State.
The bill is the outgrowth of the good
roads convention that met in this city
prior to converting of the Legislature
There is proviso in the measure which
states that when the Governor, State
Prison Directors and Bureau of Highways
are satisfied that highway material to the
amount of $4,000 cubic yards shall be taken
for road purposes, the plant shall be estab-
ished. Arrangements are being made by
the City Trustees of Sacramento to order at
least 10000 cubic yards of this material for
the purpose of matchmaking certain
streets within the city limits, and it is
rumored that the city of Stockton will re-
quire like amount. Should such be the
fact the plant will shortly be established
The signing of Assembly bill 6s2, appro-
priating $33,007 40 for the Improvement of
the streets surrounding the State capitol
building, has met with the appreciation of
the main portion of the residents of Sacra-
mento city. The citizens are proud of the
State capitol building. They boast of its
beautifully kept surroundings and are
delighted with the measure that will add
to those attractions.
Folsom prison also Jared well in the APP
preparations that were favorably considered
by Governor Budd to-day. Senate bill 213
provides that 500 900 shall be apportioned
for the completion of the convicts' dining
room, officers and guards quarters and
the furnishing of the same. This appro-
priation was necessary. The bill also pro-
vides that all bills of supplies for the work,
after being audited by the prison directors,
must be passed upon by the State Board
of Examiners. This is also necessary.

There We're Too Many Fritts on the Bill
to SHIT the Governor.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 2S.-The
Jordan claim as embodied in Senate bill
So has been treated by Governor Budd in
the same manner it has been treated by
his predecessors. 1t has been pocketed.
The bill was not signed for the reason
that there was certain amount attached
which he did not favor, and also for the
reason that it contained whereas"
clause, making any bill passed by the
Board of Examiners in the future law.
However, both the Governor and Attorney
General promise to re-examine the bill at
any time upon application.
1t is stated that Jordan offered to give a
certified bond in the sum OF 100000 to
have the bill placed before the Board of
Examiners for examination and curtail-
ment, accept the amount they would grant
and give receipt in full to the State if the
bill was signed and liquidated.. This prop
osition was also submitted to the Attorney
General, but he was compelled to report
adversely on that proposition also, for ac-
cording to the statutes if the bill was
signed the entire amount must be paid.
The Governor expressed much regret be-
cause he was compelled to pocket the
measure. He terms it a just claim killed
by too many attachments. The amount of
the claim is S75, 900.

steamer Diego, formerly the Manuel Dub
Ian, is believed to have foundered on the
24th inst. while on the way across the gulf

SANTA ROSA LAND SUIT
AN OLD CITIZEN ACCUSED OF
DEFRAUDING AN AGED
BODEGA RANCHER.
VANTAGE WAS TAKEN OF His
INFIRMITIES.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 28.-Suit has
been brought by John NJ. Chenoweth, an
old citizen of Bodega, against Eben Skaggs,
an old citizen of this city, charging Skaggs
with having defrauded Chenoweth of an
S0-acre farm near Bodega and $500 worth
OF personal property in trade recently
made between them.
Chenoweth claims that Skaggs traded
him Lake County farm and real estate
at Windsor and Santa Rosa, which he rep
resented as very valuable, but which Chen
oweth says proves not to be worth quarter
as much as represented.
Chenoweth asks the court to declare the
contract void, to cancel the deeds which
passed between them, and to restore him
his property. He is an old man, nearly
80 years old, and claims Skaggs took ad-
vantage of his infrmities.
SANTA ROSA WATER BONDS CASE.
Long Litigation in Prospect Orer the Netc
Hater- FORKS Proposition.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 2S.-The
CITY OF Santa Rosa has filed its answer in
the matter of the suit of j. M. Jones
against the city, brought to test the valid
ity of the new bonds for the construction
of new water works and the contract
entered into with Robert Effey of Santa
Cruz to construct the same. The case will
be tried before Judge Buckles of Solano
County, as Sonoma County Judges refused
to try it, on the ground that, as taxpay-
ers, they are interested parties to the suit.
A bill was passed in the Legislature
which was designed to help the city in this
litigation, but the Governor vetoed the
bill. There is bitter feeling here over the
litigation involving the new water-works
proposition, and it will cost thousands of
dollars before the matter is ended.

ments brought to bear Governor Budd
failed to recognize that the bill would ben

w. H. Mills of the land department Of
the Southern Pacific Company and W. f.
Herrin, who engineers the law business o.

the executive the major portion of the
forenoon and endeavored to impress upon
the Governor that it was his duty to sign
the bill, and this afternoon he announced
that the measure had been showed down tc
the uttermost depths of the official pocket
where resurrection is impossible.
Under the old law it was possible for any
competing road to run for five consecutive
blocks on any street with an opposition
line, and by making a circuit of block
return to the same street for five more con
secutive blocks, but bill 702 eliminates the
word CONSECUTIVE and opposition lines

know its fate. The CALL promised to lei

Mayor.
''The Governor has said it," was the an.
swer.
"Then bully for the Governor" came
back over the wire.

The Governors signature to that bill would
have been worth millions of dollars to the

"Mr. Mills and Mr.. Herrin, the rail
