names are not on the embership roll.

PETER BURNETT IS DYING.
He Was the First Governor of
the State of Cali
fOrnia.
CAME WITH THE PIONEERS.
Father of Mrs. William T. Wallace
Record of One Who Made
History.

Peter II. Burnett the first Governor of
the State of California, is dying at his resi-
dence, 1713 Larkin street. No hope is en-
tertained for his recovery, as he has long
since passed the three score year and ten
mark, and though man of wonderful con-
stitution, his death is momentarily ex-
pected.
DR.. Neumann, the family physician, can
hold out no hope, as the advanced age OF
the'patient, 81 years, can hardly sustain the
result of the sickness.
Ex-Governor Burnett was born IN Nash
vile, Tenn, November Is, 1907. In his
youth Mr. Burnett was trader and lawyer
in Tennessee. BY the overland route he
reached Oregon in 1S43 and became identi-
fed with the interests of the Pacific Coast.
When the Territorial government was
organized in Oregon, he took prominent
part and became member of the Legisla-

Court has held that we are supposed to have
full knowledge of the condition of the treas
ury. There is another feature in connection
with this case.
If we obey 1.-THE mandate of the Supervisors
and turn off the gas for the next six weeks we
may be sued by some citizen for not living up
to our contract, and if it should be decided
that the action of the Supervisors in making
this order is illegal we might have to stand the
damages.
In cases where for few nights the lights
were shut off to save money, as it was recently,
it did not make much difference, because there
was full moon then. But to leave the City in
darkness for nearly two months with SAC, 600
or $50 600 in the street light fund is a more
serious question, especially where damage
suits might arise and the legality of the Super
visors' action be questioned. We will hold a
meeting of the directors tomorrow and decide
upon some course.
The Edison Electric Light and Power
Company is equally interested in the same
matter, as their contract to furnish the
CITY with. light is as ironclad as that
which binds the gas company Their con-
tract will not expire for over year and
the obligations are as specific as to the
number of hours and days that light must
be furnished. The executive committee OF
the board OF directors has discussed the
situation informally and they have agreed
to do all in their power to make the City
live up to the contract. Assistant Secre-
tary Angus said:
If the Supervisors will not change their
decision in this matter we will have to do as
they direct, because their viii is supreme
presume, and as to our being liable on bonds
for not furnishing light am not prepared to
speak. If we are sued for damages we will look
to the Supervisors to stand between us and
harm for obeying their orders. Exactly what
course this company viii take will be deter
mined on Thursday.
Speaking of the resolution passed by the
the gas and electric light comnanies to dis
continue lighting the City street lights,
John A. Russell, clerk to the board, said
yesterday: II am afraid that plan won't
work The City has contract requiring
these companies to light the streets

ant OF Company A in 1871 and in 1872 was
promoted to captain of that company,
which commission he retained until 1891,
when he was elected Iieutenant-colonel,
which position he held until last night,
George Z. Burdick being promoted TO that
Office, which was vacated by Colonel Bush's
election to the higher position.
Colonel Bush was a member of the
United States Sanitary Commission dur

honorary member of the Eighth New York

City, a position which he has filled for

only keeps such Eastern cigars as MS Gus
toners particularly want. Mr.. Fischer IN
dorsed the home industry movement, ana
said that if all saloon men sold only the ar
tlcle made here, at least 5oOO more cigar
makers could be put to Work:
John Baader, another saloon man on
Fourth street, takes every opportunity to
push homemade goods, particularly IN the
cheaper grades, He handles very few
New York cigars. 1.-The remedy for the

wants it, obtain a good homemade cigar
for the same price as the imported New

S. A. Gordon, salesman with Schoenfeld
& Co., said at is an established fact that
farmers in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin get the best prices for their leaf
from California merchants, who also i'm
port the finest tobacco grown in Cuba.
Most of the New York cigars are composed
of what is known as thinner and Little
Dutch filters. They are made in tenement
houses of the worst kind, which reek with
filth. The domestic cigar, however, is
always worked up in clean factory.

saloon, Market street, was enthusiastic
over the merits of the home article. He
believes firmly in patronizing home indus
try. and backs up his opinions by carrying
a stock of $4,000 home union manufactured
cigars.
The last firm visited-Messrs. Gebhardt
& Graner, Market street-said that they
only handled one brand of Eastern cigars,
for which there is some demand. The bal
ance of the stock carried is homemade.
Messrs. Burns & Kelly propose to con-
tinue their inquiries further. The State
Blue Label League, which they represent,
will carry the agitation into the interior
of the State. The committee is employed
by Union 22S. AS soon as the constitution
of the Blue Label League is adopted opera

Arrested in Stockton.
D. A Urquhart was arrested in Stockton
yesterday morning at the request of Chief
Crowley. Urquhart, with two other men,

don, accountants, 132 Market street, to

sums varying from SIS to $50 and aggre-
eating over 500. These checks he gave to
storekeepers in Stockton. They were sent
to the Bank OF California for collection and
paid.
When Frisbee discovered the forgeries he
wrote to r. 0. Kinsey, a friend in Stockton,
and ascertained that Urquhart, who had
Endorsed the checks, was a guest at the
Grand Central Hotel. He swore out
warrant yesterday morning for Orquharts
arrest on the charge of forgery and Detec-

three or four grains of honey a day As
large colonies contain as many as 50.eo
bees, IL may he seen that possibly 25.n00
individuals are out soaking honey The
amount each one brings in is Infinitely
small. but there is strength in numbers.

that even the, few grains al time will
