A splendid luncheon was served and the
choicest wines of California's vineyards
flowed, spreading the infection of good
will and hospitality. AS soon as the
travellers had enjoyed the viands and wines
J. C. Ruddock, chairman of the general
committee, welcomed Ukiah's guests and
introduced James Mannon, Mayor OF
Ukiah.
Mayor Mannon said: 'It is with pleas
ure that appear before you to-day and
extend to the Half-million Club and its
friends the hospitality of our little city. /
saw on your breasts when you arrived,
UNITED California Ukiah is in hearty
sympathy with you in that sentiment.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-03

California is too good that there should be
a division between the north and the
south We in the north are in accord with
the south.
"You of San Francisco are compelled to
see that the country develops with you.
On behalf of Mendocino County l will say
we here stand ready for development. We
have resources almost boundless, and we
hardly know what they are. With the
coming of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railway we got our first glimpse of
outward sunshine. We find that in this
railroad we have much to be thankful for,
and if ever we want anything we need only
turn to its officials. We get what we ask"
Judge McGarvey, chairman of the recep-
ton committee, delivered happy address
in which he said:
"If the object of the Half-million Club is
to increase the population of San Fran
cisco, then l say amen to it. l would have
the wealth of the islands of the Pacific
pass through San Francisco, the wealth OF
the State, yes, even of the Pacific Coast to
center in San Francisco. We want the
people of that City that have the means to
develop the resources OF not only this
county, but of the whole coast. We are
glad to have you come among US and to
have exhibited what we have produced,
and are sorry only that you cannot stay
longer and see what our undeveloped re-
sources are"
R. c. Patterson, president of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce, was greeted
with applause when Chairman Ruddock
introduced him. He said he was glad to
have travelled with the club and seen the
greatness of California. The more he
travelled the more he saw, SO he said, of the
States tremendous possibilities.
Hugh Craig, president of the club, made
brief speech thanking the people OF
Ukiah for their hospitality and President
! Foster of the railroad company for its
kindness and generosity.
| A toast was proposed and drunk to Mr..
Foster, who said in response that it was a
matter of great qualification to him to see
the interest shown by San Francisco people
in the county. He felt that the action OF
| the club was something of which his COM
pany is proud, and the people of Ukiah
showed the right spirit in inviting the Half.
million Club to their enterprising city.
Al Bouvier said that the club had a
glorious time throughout the State, and
beneath all the pleasurable features he
saw serious element that will bear fruit
With his thanks to Ukiah on behalf of the
club the party withdrew.
All the visitors were taken in carriages
to points of interest in the picturesque
place, including Vichy Springs, the insane
asylum and Russian River, and at P. NJ
they returned amid cheers from the crowd:
and strains of farewell music.

portions of California. Almost oppressive
hospitality marked the visit from the time
the train stopped at Ukiah until late at
night.
As result of the trip and the exchange
of courtesies, the people of Mendocino
have learned something, if not, indeed, a
great deal of what United California means,
and the club itself, with its $50 guests, was
impressed with what has been done in
Sonoma and Mendocino in industrial
progress.
A special train left Tiburon shortly after
A. M with nearly 200 excursionists for
Ukiah 1t stopped only at San Rafael,
and then proceeded at high speed to the

the train was met by crowds from the
town and neighboring country. Several
ladies stepped forward and decorated the
visitors with poppy-colored badges bearing
the word "Ukiah.' The town band played
welcoming airs, and three cheers were
given for Ukiah and the Half-million Club,
after which the excursionists were escorted

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May Mrs.
Birge Harrison died in Montecito on
Wednesday, aged % years. Birge Harri-
son is brother of Alexander Harrison, a
long time a resident of Paris, and who has
for years disputed with Chase, Sargent,
Church and others the reputation of being
the first American painter and it is not so
many years since Birge, who followed the
same profession as his brother, was re-
garded as the abler of the two. Mrs. Har-
rison was an Australian by birth, and met
her husband while studying in a Partisan
atelier. She was portrait painter of
ability, and lady greatly beloved in Santa
Barbara for her kindheartedness, cordial
qualities. The mother and her little dead
infant will be laid in one grave.

easv. However, after reasons in favor of
all mentioned, the following were selected
and it is a good list: Grace Carruthers,
Grace Burnett, Nellie Wilson. lone Adams,
Kate Shreve, Daisy Afford, Lizzie Fisher,
Lulu Downing, Cora Raymond, Mae Bate
man, Minnie Mcmillan, Mary Dickinson,
Grace Truitt, Pearl Thompson. Much in
terest is manifested in the following pro-
gramme: Decoration of the throne by
brownies and fairies; triumphal process
sion; Queen approaches, preceded by forest
nymphs and banner-bearers and attended
by maids of honor, long retinue follows.
Coronation of Queen by Fairy Queen Mazda
Ham; presentation of the key by Judge

opening of the carnival Maypole dance
by sixteen young girls. Mesdames A.

4 Court Decides That NesO Officials Are
Not Bound by Old agreements.
FRESNO, CAL, May 2.-Judge Carter
has decided in favor of the defendant in the
suit of Alexander Mclean against the city
of Fresno. The City Trustees awarded
Mclean the contract for disposing of the
sewage for five years for the sum of $4,000 a
year. After the municipal election two
years ago the new Board of Trustees gave
notice that they would not hold themselves
to the contract, as 1t had been made for
more than one year. Mclean sued the city
but was unsuccessful. The plaintiff then
pressed the suit on the ground that al
though the contract was not an express
one still it was an implied one. Judge
Carter held that there can be no implied
contract with a municipality in cases
where an express contract is prohibited.
