he would make no promises regarding APP

was poor indeed, as the Governor an

be considered by him for at least another
month. BY that time he hopes to have
the numerous important questions off his
hands.
But the particular significance of his trip
this time to San Francisco is matter of
deep interest not alone to the city but to
the whole State. He came to arrange pre-
liminaries for the lease of China Basin to
the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railroads, and to go over the ground as
well as to look into the various details.
After thus making himself familiar with
the situation he will return. to Sacramento
