association similar to those in operation
in the valley.

and L. G. Waite was unanimously chosen
chairman and Mr.. Martin secretary.

After adopting the articles of incorpor-
alton as presented tie meeting ad journed.
The meeting was a particularly unan-
imous and enthusiastic one, which augurs
well for the success of the new company,
which starts out with very large repre-
sentatlon OF the growers III the district
Eamed.
TAKEN TO SAN QUENTIN.
The Cummings brothers were taken to
San Quentin yesterday morning, Sheriff
johnson and Ben r, Smith being in
charge of the men. They will reach the
big prison, which will be to them their
last earthly home, about noon today if
no bad luck is encountered en- route.
The boys, when sum moned yesterday
morning to get ready for the Journey,
hastily obeyed, and after donning their
best clothes and eating a hearty break
fast, they announced their readiness to
BEGIN the journey. In fact, the boys
showed by their actions that they were
more pleased than otherwise over the
prospect of a change from the cells they
have occupied so long, not that they
were not well and considerably treated
by the officers here, but presumably be-
cause any kind vi change was to them
Q relief.
Both the boys bid the officers about
the Jail. as we'll as few outsiders who
were present. pleasant goodbye,
which farewell, in the light of past
events of the last few days, is undoubted-
ly farewell in every sense of the ord.
q last one at that.
Since the boys received their sentenc
and up to their departure they said but
little concerning the fate that is in store
for them, but they no doubt feel that
there is hone while there is life.
1t is understood that the sisters of the
bows have mortgaged their home at Eel
Monte to raise funds TO prosecute and
carry up an appeal for their unfortunate
bYothers, thus showing true sistelry love
and again proving true the saying that
blood is thicker than water.
II the appeal in the case is sent up
there can be no question that the lives Of
the condem ned men will be prolonged
for some months at least, inasmuch as
the suprem, court would not reach the
appeal until the April term next year.
and in the meantime the appeal acts as q
stay of judgment.
It may b. that the boys will have to be
