OAKLAND TO SAN JOSE,
Plans for the Forty-MiIe BouIe-
ward Are Taking
Shape.
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD
The Good Roads Association Asks
the Cooperation of Citi-
zenS.

The wheelmen and horsemen of Oakland
as well as the citizens of the town have
taken up the idea of boulevard from Oak
land to San Jose with vim, and the mass
meeting which has been called by the Ala
media County Good Roads Association at
the Reliance Clubrooms on the evening of
the 2Sd inst, will, doubtless, be largely at
tended.
Circular letters will be sent out to-day to
several hundred gentlemen who are known
to be interested in the good roads question,
urgently requesting them to be on hand to
give their views on the matter, and to lend
their aid to a speedy. contamination of the
project.
John A. Britton, chairman of the asso-
citation, who is one of the most ardent adj
vocates of the boulevard, has been doing
considerable figuring on the probable cost
of the driveway, and the best route by
which it could be built, and is assured in
his own mind that the scheme is entirely
feasible both from financial and topo-
graphical point of view. He said yester-
day:
My idea of the matter and the one which
seems to meet with the most favor is to con-
struct g macadamized road forty feet wide by
what we call the lower route.
This road runs out of Oakland to San Lean
dro, thence 10 San Lorenzo, Mount Eden AL
vsrado, Centerville, Irvington, Mission San
Jose and into San Jose.
1t runs all the way through beautiful coun-
try and the distance is about forty miles
There is another route running through San
Leandro, HaywardS, DeeotO and Niles, but it is
more or less hilly and not so favorable for a
boulevard as the one previously mentioned OF
course the first thing is to think of is a drive
way, which, in addition to being a source of
great pleasure 10 those who would use it for
= recreation, would be of vast benefit to the farm
ers and orehardists along its line, and would
greatly enhance the value OF their property.
Later I should advocate the addition of

FESTIVAL DAYS OF NAY
Ukiah'S Generous Invitation
to the Half Million
Club.
REVIEW.
PRESIDE TROOPS
San Francisco to Don Gala Carb
on May Day = Interior
Towns Astir.

All day yesterday the excursion commit
tee of the Half-million Club was flooded
with inquiries and the clubs office in the
Mills building was the scene of intense
activity. Secretary Davis was scarcely
registering for the excursion to the fiesta.
1t is now absolutely certain that a second
train will be necessary.
The principal event of yesterday was a
generous and magnificent proposition
made by delegation of Sonoma County
citizens, headed by Mr.. Sbarboro. 1t was
in effect that the ladies of Ukiah rendered
to the Half-million Club and its excursion
guests an invitation to attend a barbecue
at Ukiah on May 8, and President A. w.
Foster of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railroad followed that invitation
up by rendering the free use of a special
train to the Half-million Club and its ex-
curs1on guests to take them to the bar
becue and to convey them on visit to the
large vineyards and wineries of the Italian
Swiss Colony.
The train will take the party from this
city through Marin, Sonoma and Mendo-
cino counties, running forty-six miles
along the banks of the Russian River to
Ukian, the terminus of the road, and re-
turn.
The ladies of Ukiah and Mendocino
County propose to demonstrate what true
California hospitality is.
The entertainment committe, through
its chairman, Alt Bouvier, has accepted
the kind invitation and generous offer and
has rendered to President Foster and his
company, to the ladies of Ukiah and Men
docino County and to the Italian-Swiss
colony the thanks of the club
The tickets for the excursion are on sale
at the Union Trust building, second floor,
corner of Montgomery and Market streets.

T and of the balance all but $1,000 has already
been subscribed by leading society and
business men of the Athens Of the West.
The organization of the club has been kept
very quiet, and even now that its success
is assured the names of its subscribers are
withheld. This is because the Oakland
Country Club is to be the most exclusive
institution of its kind, and its subscribers
do not wish to be troubled just yet with
OPPORTUNITIES for mem bership from any OF
the ineligibles with whom they may
chance to be acquainted.
Rockridge is beautiful property, stu
ated in the Piedmont foothills 1t occu-
pies little valley just northwest of Pied
mont Heights, and is completely sheltered
from the wind by great grassy slopes that
are in themselves beautiful. The property
consists of thirty-tWo acres OF the richest
land in Alameda County, through the CEN
ter of which tiny brook rlpples. The
land is thickly wooded, and presents a
studied wildness and luXuriance OF vegeta-
ton which is Undesirable. Palms, elms
and orange trees and evergreens, acaclas
and other Towering trees abound.
On the property are two houses-one the
old Livermore homestead and the other
modern country house IN the colonial
STYLE. Large stables and carriage houses,
laundry, an engine-house for pumping
water to the tanks on the heights above
all are in complete order and ready for use.
Upon the grounds are tennis courts and
links for the fashionable game of golf, and
the club members are already talking OF
the possibilities of pools.
The club has behind it some of the
wealthiest men of Oakland, but it is under
stood that while it is to be very exclusive a
large membership of the right sort of
people is considered desirable,

Oakland is to have "Blingum" of its

the end of this month the organization
will be complete.
The home of the new club is to be at
Rockridge, the late residence of Charles
E. Livermore. 1t is situated within easy
driving distance of the city of Oakland and
is an ideal spot for club purposes. The
property has been bonded in the sum OF
$50, 000-a figure which the owner refused a

The Importance of impressing visitors with
the fact that we have navigable stream like
the Sacramento at our very doors is obvious,
and there are, furthermore, many people in
San Francisco and vicinity who do not appre-
ciate it and to whom this excursion may prove
a valuable instruction.

THE GRAND JURY'S WORK.
A Very Watchful Eye Will Be Kept on
the Board of Supervisors From
This Time On.

The Grand Jury spent most of the time
of its session yesterday in deciding upon
what matters it could best investigate. as
the usual length of its term as Grand
Jury has nearly been reached. 1t was de-
cided to take up the most important mat
tiers; to take up no new business unless of
vital importance; to GU. off some business
which has been well desls with, and to pay
no attention to petty criminal cases.
As result there will be no more indict-
ments of persons supposed to be guilty of
election frauds, as sufficient evidence can
not be secured. Indictments of persons
owning houses of ill-repute and the in
mates will also be dropped, as the cases of
those indicted are before the Supreme
Court to test the legality of the power of
grand juries in their cases. 1t was the
sense of the grand jurors that there was a
very large amount of important business
for them to investigate, and that they
would be unable to deal further with mis-
demeanors. The business on hand is
likely to take all of the time of the Grand
Jury for the next month or so, even with
three meetings week.
1t is as follows: Investigation of the
Board of Supervisors, both in regard to
Spring Valley water matters and the btu
minous rock combine; the rumored frauds
in connection with the ferry foundation :;
the increase in secretly granted divorces !;
straw bond matters; the actions of II. II.
Davis and others in settling claims
against the Southern Pacific Company,
and charges which are to be made by
Mayor Sutro.
George T. Gaden sent communication
to the Grand Jury that he as clerk of
Mayor Sutro, would submit some charges
for the jurors to investigate at their next
meeting. The straw bond investigation
may result in the Impeachment of Judge
Campbell. The cases of straw bonds in
his court are said to have been very numer-
Gus and Hagrant. The greatest attention
of the grand jurors will be directed to the
matter of the ferry foundation and to the
Supervisors.

A Chopin Recital.

Chopin piano recital was given last night at
Y. NJ. C. A. Hall by Hugo Mansfield, under the
auspices of the Hawthorne Society. The audi
ence numbered about 1000, and consisted of
some of the best-known musical people of the
city. The programme was opened by introduce
tory remarks by Albert Lyser, and a biographi-
cal sketch of the famous composer was deliv-
cred by DR.. w. E. Price. The renditions of
some of the choicest productions of the COM
poser by Mr.. Mansfield were received with
merited applause by the audience.

the Foreign Markets.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Tbe Secretary
of Agriculture will, in about ten days,
begin the publication and distribu-
tion OF a series of bulletins
relative to the foreign markets
for the agricultural products of the
United States. Letters were sent TO the
American consuls the world over,
last fall, asking for re.
plies TO certain questions rela-
tive to the consumption in the localities
to which they are credited of meats
cereals and dry products, cotton,
tobacco, fruits, liquors, seeds, etc,
where they are procured, prices,
etc, and all other statistical information.
The bulletins, it is believed, will be OF
great value to all persons seek
ing foreign markets for their
products, as 1t will enable
them to select the most advantageous
markets, and give them in advance all the
information desired relative to the prices
asked and received by their competitors.
