WENDELL EASTON'S TRIP.
While Abroad He Did Much to En-
courage Immigration to the
Coast.

Wendell Easton is home from Europe.
He returned yesterday morning, having
travelled $1,000 miles since leaving here on
April %. One of the chief objects of Mr..
Easton's trip was to encourage immigra-
ton to California as far as lies in the power
of one man. He delivered several lectures
in England and as a rule found his au-
diences anxious to learn all they could
about the Golden West.
Judge Ross decision has injured our
irrigation bonds over the water" he said,
"but it will have no effect on our other Sc
curities. Our California credit abroad is
as good as ever"
He made arrangements with the White
Star line of steamships for tickets to be
sold straight through to San Francisco and
other California points, second class, for
$40, or not more than $50. This is re-
markedly cheap fare and Mr.. Easton thinks
many colonists will take advantage of the
opportunity offered for leaving the over
crowded European countries. He is much
pleased with his trip and thinks there will
be good results in the way of increased
immigration.

Mr.. Deuprey for the defense took an ex-
ception to the order on the ground that it
did not appear that all the persons called
had been personally served nor that all
the attachments issued had been ex-
hausted.
The court then ordered that all the
names that had been drawn as jurors for
the purposes of this case, the owners of
which have not been accepted and sworn
or examined, be returned to the iury.box
by the County Clerk
Having admonished the jury in the
usual form, Judge Murphy adjourned court
till 10 o'clock this morning.

Mr.. Mcguire stated that it was the rich
of this City who were opposed to such
improvements as were desired by the clubs,
but that this meeting would prove con-
clusively that the small taxpayers desired
this thing done, and upon them would fall
the burden. Hence it followed that the
opposition was that of the individual look
ing out for his private interest, without
regard to the public welfare.
After appointing the following commit
tee to invite Charles M. Shortridge, editor
of THE CALL, to deliver an address at the
public demonstration September 5, the
executive committee adjourned to meet
again next Tuesday night: A. B. Mcguire
Leon Samuels and G.. w. Owen.
