tiOn

The trustees of the Mechanics Institute
have selected Solly Walter, well-known
artist, to superintend the art department
of the twenty-eighth industrial exhibition.
to be held between August 13 and Septem-
Der IA of this year. Mr.. Walter will make

"The Art Department this year." said
Mr.. Walter yesterday, twill consist of
three divisions. In one will be loan ex-
hibition, including all the works of the
great masters which are owned by private
persons in this city. 1t will include statu-
ary, and that exhibit should of itself be a
most attractive feature.
"Another division will show what San
Francisco is doing in the way of art tuition.
Specimens of work by members OF the Art
Association will be exhibited and studies
from the art clubs and the Art League will
be shown. The results of the outing trips
of the Sketch Club will be included and a
feature is to be made of the efforts of the
pupils of private teachers.

tratiye art. 1t will include book, maga-
zine and newspaper illustration, iitho-
graphs, etchings, wood cuts, etc. The
press method of reproducing pictures will

tive, the etched zinc plate, the matrix and
the stereotyped plate to the printed page.
Photography, amateur, club and profess
fessional, will be made feature of this
division"
During the exposition Mr.. Walter will
deliver series of three lectures on art
following closely the divisions mentioned
and devoting one lecture to each division.

TWO PUSHING VALLEYS.

we announced the other day that plan
Tor constructing an electric road from Napa
to Calistoga was in process of formation.
This is followed by the cheering news that
company is being organized for the
building of narrow-gauge steam road
from Petaluma to Santa Rosa.
The two valleys-the Napa and Sonoma
are among the most attractive and pros
porous parts in the State, but, like most
other sections of California, they have been
content to rest at the mercy of such trans
portation facilities as outside capital and
enterprise might offer them. The Napa
Valley above Napa City has only one line
of rail and no competition, and this is true
also of the Sonoma Valley above Santa
Rosa. This does not mean to deny that
one line in either case is sufficient to
handle the traffic. That is only part of
the question. Until the Southern Pacific
has produced some evidence either of its
willingness or ability to handle its lines
with main intention to develop the Sec
tions which they penetrate, the mere pres
ence of one of its roads in any section
must be explained on very different
ground. When the people themselves be-
gin to build their own roads to tidewater
they will be giving the first and most far
reaching evidence that they deserve to
prosper.
These transportation enterprises in
Napa and Sonoma valleys are planned
with great wisdom. Napa City, in Napa
Valley, is at the head of navigation of the
stream which flows down the valley to the
bay, and hence an electric road thence to
Calistoga so as to connect the extreme
upper end Of the valley with San Fran
cisco by rail and water lines owned by the
people themselves will furnish complete
exemption from transportation monopoly,
and will give the valley the one remaining
thing needed to insure larger prosperity
of the present residents and greatly in
creased number of settlers.
Practically the same results will be Sc
cured by narrow-gauge steam road from
Petaluma to Santa Rosa for Petaluma,
like Napa, is ON the tidewater of San Fran
cisco Bay, and such a road would place the
valley as far north as Santa Rosa wholly
free to work out the bright destiny which
awaits it.
These two enterprises are part of the
great forward movement which the whole
State is making. Since San Francisco cap
italists of courage and enterprise threw
down the gauntlet to the Southern Pacific
and dared to inv ade with railroad of their
own the largest and richest territory over
which it held sway in California the pride
of all the people has been reused, and
strength and courage have come into the
hearts of our people. This is the begin
ming of victory and the death of silurian-
ism in California.

AN IMPORTANT JOURNEY.

Claus Spreckels started yesterday for
Europe, intending a three months ab-
sence from California, and combining
business with pleasure as the pur-
poses of the trip abroad. The
pleasure which he anticipates is the sur
cease for season of those labors and cares
which are attendant upon men of his
active temperament and which accompany
the possession of vast and varied interests
and great wealth.
The enjoyment for brief season by Claus
| Spreckels of that well-earned rest which
comes with change of scene, and which
may best be found in Old World capitals,
no one with honest heart will envy or
would deny him, especially in view of the
public purposes which for the past several
months have occupied his time and been
the prime end and object of his care.
The business which Mr.. Spreckels con-
templates as one of the objects of his visit
to the East and to Europe is of a kind
which makes his going doubly interest
ing to the people of California.
He is the president and prime
promoter of the project for a competing
railroad. His efforts expended here for its
| advancement have already placed it be-
yond uncertainty and among the prac-
tical facts of the present and the
realities of the near future. This
great enterprise has been started
| upon the theory and plan of being essen
TALLY peoples railroad, and as such of
being built mainly for cash in order that
there may be the smallest amount of a
bonded Indebtedness possible, and in con-
sequence the least ground for any claim of
| necessity for excessive freights and fares
1t is desired also that the stock of the
Valley railroad shall be widely dis
tributed and held in many hands
in order that the largest possible
number of people may be concerned in
the success of the enterprise. The esti-
$6,OOO,OOO, of which almost one-half is
already subscribed. 1t would not be at all
bad idea to have some of the stock of the
Valley railroad taken in the Eastern
States and even in Europe, so that there as
well as here there might be that interest in
the success of the railroad which comes
from capital invested in it.
If the road is to be built for cash it must
be so mainly from the sale of its stock, and
ifa portion of that stock could be so placed
as to bring into California a good accre-
ton of coin to aid our people in building
| this railroad and thus in a double sense
increasing the wealth of the State it would
seem most desirable policy to pursue and
end to attain.
There is no man living better qualified
to inspire Eastern and European conf
dence in great California enterprise and
| to cause capital to thence outflow in its
aid than Claus Spreckels, and we
shall miss our guess if from his present
trip to the East and across the Atlantic
the people of California in general and the
Valley railroad project in particular do
not reap some large and very practical
benefits in business way.

THE POLICE UNIFORMS.

The objections of Chief Crowley to police
uniforms made from cloth manufactured
in this State are its faulty dyeing and it's
failure to wear as long as the French
beaver. 1t is not supposable that the Chief
in preferring the French material in the
face of the opposition manifested by the
Manufacturers Association is acting on
any motive other than desire to secure
the best material for the money. Com
pared with all the bea yer cloth which the
mills of California might produce for home
consumption that required by the police
may be very small matter, for this cloth
is used largely throughout the State by
policemen, streetcar and railroad opera
tives, messenger-boys and generally all
others who are required to wear a dark
blue uniform, because beaver is the most
durable material that can be used for this
hard service. 1t is therefore important
that we should be able to compete with
France in this item of consumption.
But Chief Crowley's objections seem to
break down under the very positive guar
antee that the local makers of this
cloth have offered to give. 1t is true that
California produces many manufactured
articles which are as good as those made
elsewhere, and that our people foolishly
| neglect to buy them. 1t may be true also
that Chief Crowley is innocently in error
with regard to beaver cloth.
Leaving this discussion and turning to
| certain articles which require the highest
skill in their production we may ask,
Have we taken sufficient pains to secure
the finest artisans for developing the char
| acter OF our peculiar products to the high
est possible form? Are we content with
the fact that Crosse & Blackwell buy our
dried apricots, ship them to London, make
them into marmalade and then sell them
back to us? Our restaurants and hotel
keepers for many years have been securing
the most artistic cooks that France can
produce, and in other ways we are pro-
vided with the special skill which it has
required very much older civilization
than ours to produce; but if in any partic-
ular we have neglected this exercise of
wisdom we have fallen short in our task of
developing our resources.
This is not q matter in which the ques-
ton of competition between American and
European labor can be raised, but only of
introducing from abroad, to serve as our
instructors, such fine artisans as we may
lack. Our duty requires that great
care should be taken with regard to
every one of our industries which gives the
smallest evidence of deficient skill; and
not only that, but wherever the slightest
belief exists that the peculiar climate of
the State might permit the manufacture of
articles which we do not produce, but
which are produced in foreign countries
having peculiarities of climate approach
ing ours, and which articles are sold to us
at heavy price, it is one of our highest
duties to bring hither the artisans who can
produce them and thus exhaust the whole
field of experiment. The Manufacturers
Association, which is doing such excellent
work in other directions, would be an ad-
mirable institution for promoting these
inquiries.

FERRY SIGNS MUST GO.
The Harbor Commissioners Decide

Buildings. ~.

&. People of this next generation seeking
for a sign will have TO seek for 1t in some
other place than the ferry depot after June
/. The edict has gone forth from the State
Board of Harbor Commissioners that the
signs must go. Causes which led to this
decision are stated in the preamble and
resolution adopted by the board April %:
WHEREAS, The practice hitherto followed by
lnls board in selling advertising privileges on
the State property under the boards control
mas developed into disfgurem emit of the ferry
mouse and slips, which is offensive TO the eye
and an atfrent 10 good taste: and whereas, il is
not legitimate province of this board to de-
rive revenue from such a source, the business
Deionglng properly to the newspaper and other
'ssIs eilshed advertising agencies; therefore
:, I.eSotued, Ihat from and after June 1, 1895,
no adVertislng space shall be rented or sold by
tne board, and that after that date all existing
duNeItls4ng on the State property under this
poaTu control shall be effaced, except such
s as relates TO the passenger or freight business
ot OF the water craft docking az the wharyes, and
tnat IN iuture all privileges of the latter kind
be granted in the discretion OF the board.
The practice OF selling space for signs
began IN June, 1886 The first privilege
was accorded to n. E. Shattuck. who paid
500 month for it. Subseouently the
value of the privilege enhanced until Swan
& Stein paid for part of the space $3.50 a
month, and l.. ID. Owen 500 monthly for
the remainder. Swan had the depot and
Owen the slips. Daring the past wear
Swan has only paid $500 a month. He
found the advertising business so dull that
he did not feel justified in paying a larger
