started.
She sprang to the ground and tossed
the rawhide rope to the one arm he held
above the sand She folded her shawl
and put it over her horses shoulders and
tied the RATA around like collar Then
she led him slowly away from the quick
sands, and Warren thought his arm
would break. but slowly, reluctantly.
painfully, the sand gave up Its prey.

the rugged hill to the bottom OF the Pa

the wide gulch opened broadly to the
shore of the Pacific.

with dreams Of Tessa. He would take
her away from her narrow and hurtful

would force Stoner's consent. marry her
and make her happy.
He rode rapidly south, aud in half an
hour the mouth of the Toro appeared,
in the midst Of sand dunes, breakers
rolling in and the steady river flowing
out. Here was the long sand bar, ten feet
wide and stretching across hardly All

Warren was beginning to have some

lead him to doubt the simple directions

Speaker Lynch still delays in the naming
of the Assembly committees. So far he has
announced the membership of but five of
the forty-one standing committees. The
supporters of Senator Perkins continue to
insist that the committee appointments
are being withheld in the interests of De
Young, in order to make trading for COM
mittee preferment possible. Speaker Lynch,
however, declares that he has been unable
to satisfactorily place the many members
of the Assembly, and this afternoon, just
before adjournment, he called upon the
AssembIymen for the second time to send
in to him in writing the list of committees
to which they particularly desired appoint
ment. In this way, he says, he hopes to
better satisfy all the members.

of Fish and Game Warden. Senator Hart
introduced his bill appropriating $4,000
for the purchase of Joseph Steffen's fur
nished residence in Sacramento, to be used
by the State as the Governors mansion.
Hart also introduced three other bills ap-
propriating $500 for the purchase of lands
adjacent to Folsom Prison - $25, 600
for improvements on the penitentiary
buildings and $4,000 TO cover
the deficiency in the Folsom Prison
appropriation. A new constitutional
amendment was proposed by Senators
Smith and Ford. 1t opens the way for

ton of New York.
At u o'clock a recess was taken until
1:30. At the opening of the afternoon ses-

providing for the appointment of a standing
committee of five members, to be known as
the Committee on Retrenchment and Pub
lie Expenditures. The resolution provides
that one of the duties of the committee
shall be to investigate and ascertain what
State Commissions and Offices may be con-
solidated or abolished. In this respect the
resolution is similar to the motion by
Bledsoe now pending in the House. The
matter went over one day.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16-The weather has
distinctly asserted itself for the illustration
of all kinds of California climate to the
visiting members of the American Pomo-
logical Society. First it blew, then it
rained, then the sun shone and this after
noon it rained again. But the meetings OF
the society have been large and enthusi-
astic, some 500 persons being assembled
from time to time in the old Pavilion build
ing on the corner of NJ and Sixth streets.
The society formally opened its twenty
fourth biennial session at IL A. NJ. to-day
and was called to order by President Berck-
man of Georgia. Rev. r. NJ. Stevenson of
Sacramento opened the convention with
prayer. George c. Katzenstein, delivering
an address of welcome on behalf of the city
of Sacramento, reviewed the horticultural
growth of California, gave brief statistics
of fruit production, and announced the at
tractive programme of excursions arranged
by the Sacramento committee.
B. NJ. Lelong welcomed the visitors on

behalf of the State Board of Horticulture.
Then addresses of welcome were responded
to by ex-Mayor Alexander of Augusta, Ga.
President Berckman spoke of distinguished
members of the pomological society who
have died since the last session. He ex-
pressed his thanks to California for its re-
ception, and predicted a wonderful future
for the Golden State He has most at
tractive manner, and his remarks received
hearty applause, particularly when he de-
plored the entrance of politics into the
management of experimental stations in
several of the States, and warned Califor-
MIA against any such tendency. Horticul-
ture should always be separate from poll
tics, as it belongs to technical and scientific
work.
An invitation was received from DR..
Lewis of Oregon to the society inviting the
delegates to visit the State Other invita-
tions were received from various parts of
California, and especially urgent ones from
Los Angeles and Bakersfield. The after
noon session was opened by the reading of

paper on fruit culture in the regions con-
tiguous to the Gulf of Mexico. One of the
most interesting papers of the afternoon
was that of Professor E. j. Wickson of the
State University upon the important new
seeding fruits which have been developed
on the Pacific Coast. He reviewed the
literature and history of his subject, the
fine old Mission gardens, the pioneer seed
ling apple and peach orchards, the skilled
scientific work of later experimenters. Mr..
Hatch of Suisun, he said, had really saved
the almond industry of California by seed
ling almonds. In shipping varieties of
plums, peaches, apricots, and, in fact, along
the whole line of fruits, new and valuable
sorts have been originated here, one of the
last and most promising OF these results is
the noted loganberry. The soil and climate
of California appear to aid pomology, and
we may expect still greater triumph from
the work OF the intelligent hybridizer.

HERBERT VERY FRIENDLY.
FayOrs Building Warships on the
Pacific Coast.
One Battle.Ship and Two of the Torpedo.
Boats May Be Constructed
Out Here.

WASHINGTON, 'Jan. 16.-There is strong
probability that one of the new battle
ships and two torpedo-boats will be built
on the Pacific Coast. Representatives
Loud and Mcguire were before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs to-day and
urged that Secretary Herbert's recon-
mendations be carried out. A letter was
before the committee from Secretary
Herbert, written several days ago, recon-
mending that one battle-ship and three of
the twelve cruisers asked for be con-
structed on the coast. The battle-ships
will each cost about 100000 and each
torpedo-boat $120,000.
The Naval Committee has about decided
to construct three .battle-ships and six
torpedo-boats, and a proviso will prob
ably be inserted for the construction of one
battle-ship andstwo torpedo-boats on the
Pacific Coast, provided the bids are
reasonable" in the opinion of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. Inasmuch as Secretary
Herbert has so recommended in his letter,
he will doubtless use his discretionary
powers, and the Union Iron Works NAV
get contract for battle-ship if their bid is
reasonable" Irving M. Scott thinks he
SlOulQ De allowed u ullleTenCldl or margin
of 3 per cent on battle-ship and 10 per cent
on each torpedo-boat in consideration of
the additional cost of labor, material and
fuel in California, and as Secretary Herbert
in his discretion can interpret the word
reasonable" so as to allow this margin in
favor of Pacific Coast contractors he will
probably do so, as he seems well disposed
toward Mr.. Scott and believes it to be good
policy to encourage ship-building on the
Pacific Coast.
Representatives English and Messrs.
Campbell and Roney of Vallejo have not
relaxed their efforts in favor of Mare
Island, but as Representatives Loud, Ma
guire and Geary are working to get the
contracts for San Francisco there is but
poor prospect that the battle-ship will be
constructed at the Government yard. II
the Naval Committee in drafting the bill
uses the words reasonable bids" this will
effectually shut Mare Island out of the
contest, for this language would of course
be construed to mean that the vessels shall
be built by contract The Government s
experience in building the Cincinnati and
the Raleigh at the Brooklyn and Norfolk
yards respectively does not tend to prove
that vessels can be constructed more
cheaply at Government yards than by con-
tract. 1t is possible, however, that the
Mare Island yard may be encouraged by
being allowed to construct one OF the tor
pedo-boats.

leased ground upon which the laundry is
situated will soon be occupied by black

will be acres OF ground besides, which will
be cultivated for the purpose of raising

been offered to the association for nomi-
nal rental and will soon be cultivated for
the same purpose, the proposition being to
enter into active competition with the
