Shippers Manifests.
An important communication was re-
ceived from Acting Secretary S. Wike OF
the Treasury Department by Collector of
Customs Wise yesterday. 1t practically
advises exporters of goods to Japan to be
more specific in their manifests. 1t ex-

OF Imperial Customs there complains of the
manner in which ships manifests are made

said superintendent to the United States Con-
sui at HiOgo upon the subject:

the vessel deposits his ships manifest simply
stating merchandise" or "yarious Marks
without giving the contents and marks of the
cargo, which renders this office great incon-
yenlence. | now have the honor to request
that you notify the American merchants resd-
ing at this port, and also the masters of the
vessels arriving at this port, that on and after
the LIST day of April, 1896, manifests setting
forth the marks and contents OF the cargo shall,
under the requirements of article l of the trade
regulations, be deposited at the Imperial Gus.

chest, box, bandbox, bundle, parcel, cask, or
package of any kind or sort, describing the

WORK OF SUPERVISORS.
They Elect a Director Who Is
in Favor of Building
the Ditch.
A LARGE DISTRICT INVOLVED
TWO Million Dollars Worth of Bonds
Authorized for the En-
terprise.

FRESNO, CAL, July 9.-The contest be-
tween the residents in the Sunset Irriga-
ton District who are in favor of building
the 81, 500, 600 canal, and those who charge
corruption and extravaganza, was ended,
as far as is now known, this afternoon.
The matter was carried TO the Board of
Supervisors of Fresno County, who some
time ago removed Colin Campbell, director
of the Fifth District, becauce he was not a
resident of the district, and consequently
could not serve This left four directors,
two of whom were in favor of pushing the
work of constructing the great canal, while
the other two opposed it.
P. y. Baker and 7. L. Reed, who were
awarded the contract for building the canal,
have been endeavoring to secure the ap-
pointment of r. W. Pemberton, who was
also supported by all who are in favor of
completing the work. The other candi-
date was Colin Campbell. By vote of
four to one the Board of Supervisors elected
Pemberton.
The district embraces over $50, 900 acres,
and recently voted bonds of 81. 100000.
At the last meeting of the board of
directors the contract with Baker & Reed
was rescinded, but this action will prob
ably be reconsidered and work resumed at
once. The money is now ready.

TO GO A-SWIMMING.

There's red-letter page that is brighter for Its age
And the finger marks Of Time are never dim
1t has very much to say of a hot summer day.
When we fellows ran away, 10 go a-swimming.
Creeping through lengthy grass while dancing
Threading deep haunted woods where the squirrel
And birds nested high teach their little ones to fly
Where the grape-cluster shines in a wilderness Of
Where are messy pillows green not sumberer
hath seen,
And the red flowers grow in blossom-driit of
snow:
1t maybe twice as gay that we felt bit astray,
When we fellows ran away, to go a-swimming
And the river and the pool were so heavenlike and
cool,
With fresh baby-breezes overskimming;
Everything we'll contrived for pleasure short
When we runaways arrived to go a-swimming.
Now all ready-now plunge! and our bodies like
That unduly dry has been, seem to drink the
water in;
We are cropping In the caves of the cold, silent
waves,
We are climbing to the air, hinging torrents from
And we struggle to and fro through the ripples'
gentle flow,
And We duels gayly fight with the FLASHING waters
bright,
On each other through the play, hinging barrels
Oh the mad and merry day we went a-swimming !
Now the moral Of this rhyme is for youths careless
Full OF good, sober counsel it is trimming:
In your labor your play your superors obey,
Don't you ever run away to go a-swimming.
Though the fower-jewels shine with a radiance
divine,
And the daisy blossoms creep in the meadows half
asleep,
And the clouds like high, floating castle in
the sky,
And the forest branches dumb wink and beckon
you TO come,
And shady nook you know where the dainty bill
lows flow.
Whose delicious quiet charms would fold you in
their arms,
Be obedlent while you may; ON the shore Of duty
stay:
Don't yon away 10 go a swimming!

RA1s1N-GRo1EBs COMBINE.
They Propose 70 Cooperate to Secure Bet
ter Prices for Their crops.

They Propose 70 Cooperate to Secure Bet
ter Prices for Their crops.
FRESNO, CAL, July AT a mass
meeting of the Kingsburg raisin-growers a
new method for marketing the crop was
proposed. 1t is generally believed here
that the reason for low prices prevailing
for raisins is the competition among
brokers, who glut the Eastern market.
The raisin-growers viii make a deter
mined effort this year to gain control of
the marketing in the hope that the bust
ness, which is the largest in the county,
but which is now carried on at loss, may
be made to return profit to the growers.
Those who have proposed the new plan
are well-known growers. 1t is suggested
in the address to the raisin men that only
one firm of brokers be allowed to handle
the raisins shipped TO any one city and
that such firm be required to handle the
consignment from any packing company.
The Association of Raisin-growers is 10 be
notified at short intervals of the state of
the market in each city and advised by
their agents when to sell No goods ex-
cept those sent by the association are to be
handled by the agents, nor must members
OF the association ship to other than the
agents of the combine.
Raisins are TO be packed under the
special brand of the grower and are to be
strictly graded, but the price of one grade
is not TO be equalized with another, and
the returns for raisins from different
districts are to be kept separate. One
representative from each district is to
have place on the board of directors.
The Kingsburg growers ask all raisin
men in the county to hold meetings and
unite with them in completing the organi-
cation.

cisco.

Merton Duxbury arrived in the City last
evening after crossing the continent from
Providence. r. l., on bicycle. Mr.. Dux-
bury has been travelling for pleasure, but
expects to make record back from here
to New York. He had a varied experience
on the trip. crossing two deserts, riding over
rough railroad beds, sleeping in Italian
and Chinese camps, at one time living in
the lap of luxury, and at another subsist-
ing on the commonest of fares.
From Kansas City he wheeled across the
plains, going $50 miles in six and half
days. The water was full of alkali and the
food was but little better. In Denver he
met Mr.. and Mrs. McIlrath, who are
wheeling around the world for the Chicago
Inter Ocean. He rode with them across
the desert from Grand Junction to Salt
Lake City distance of nearly 800 miles.
The tourists slept on bare floors with Moth
ing under their heads, and the food along
the route was poor and scanty. From Og-
den to Reno. Duxbury rode on the railroad
track, and came to Oakland by the wagon
roads. He remains here until the 18th
inst, when he starts back for New York,
taking the shortest route.

Cyclers; f. A. Mcfarland, San Jose Road
Club, and c. W. Conger, Imperial Cycling

ssy the few prizes won at their recent race
meet which have not been delivered will

in August. The Garden City Cyclers OF
San Jose talk of one by electric light.

it was quite successful. The San Fran

ing of holding a meet at Central Park on
some Saturday afternoon, and Chairman
Kerrigan will call meeting of the dele
gates from the various clubs to discuss the
matter.
Advices from the East are to the effect
that Arthur A. Zimmerman, the champion
cyclist of the world, will pass through here

would be great attraction, and the Bay

race meet at that time to give Californians
an opportunity to see him ride.
