AS TO MECHANICS LIENS,

A new act, approved by the Gov
ernor June 40, is one every contractor
ard builder of houses ought to paste
in his hat. The practical effect of
the law is to abolish mechanics liens.
The act provides that the latter shall
not operate if, before the contractor
shall have been ordered to proceed
with the work, the owner of the house
and contra 3tor shall have entered into
an agreement, which must be filed in
the prothonotary's Office within ten
days after the date thereof, by which
the contractor agrees to exempt the
owner from mechanics lien. The
agreement must be entered in docket
by the prothonotary. The effect of
the law will be that dealers in builders
materials can consult the docket and
if there is such an agreement they
will know how to act before supply.
ing the contractor. Under the old
law if contractor doesn't pay for the
material mechanics lien is filed
within six months after the contract is
completed and the owner of the house
is compelled to pay.-E;r.

EarIy California DAYS.

There were neither courts not juries
In the land the word of a Californian
was the only bond required. Even the
wary Yankee traders who frequented
the coast, when foreign commerce was
finally allowed, trusted them freely from
one season to the next. An incident il
lustrltlng this trait Is told by the
Agu!rre family. Don Jose Aguirre, who
owned a trading vessel, once had as su-
percargo young man who was stran-
ger to Californian customs. While the
ship, with cargo, lay in San Pedro har-
Dor, the master being absent, Augustln
Machldo, a ranchero of considerable
wealth in land and herds, but who could
neither read nor write, went on board to
do some purchasing, his carts awaiting
him on shore. When he had made his
choice and was aboG: having the goods
conveyed t. land, the supercargo asked
him for either payment or guaranty.
Machado did not az first understand that
he was being distrusted; no such de-
mand had ever before been made of any
ranchero. where the buyer offered no
money he being credited without heslta-
ton. When at length 1t dawned upon
the Californian he drew a hair from his
beard, and gravely handing it to the
young man, said with dignity; Deliver
this to Senior Aguirre and tell him 1t is
hair from the beard of Augustin
Machado-you will find II a sufficient
guaranty" The supercargo, crest-fall-
en-, placed the hair in the leaves of his
account-book and allowed the goods to
be removed. Upon Aguirre's return he
was deeply chagrned at the insult that
had been offered to his friend. - The

Economy In Fruit Growing.

One of the drawbacks to frult-grow!ng
is the fact that farmers economize at the
beginning. They buy from tree ped
dlers and do not find out that their trees
are of worthless varieties until they be-
gin to bear, but as several years will
then have been lost the mischief cannot
be repaired, and work must be done over
again. DO not buy trees from any but
known and reliable nurserymen and do
not refuse choice trees because the prices
are apparently high. BE sure of good
trees first and then begin the economy

A CAMPAIGN OF PEACE,
The Second Artillery Regiment
Goes to Ukiah for a
Weeks Camp.
Peter Jackson Jr., the Colored Mas
cot, Acts as Rear Guard on
His Bicycle.

With drums, brass band, colors flying
and colored mascot bringing up the rear
on his bicycle loaded down with the furni-
ture of war, the Second Artillery Regiment,
n. g. c., marched away yesterday after
noon to capture the town of Ukiah.
1t was brave show the blue-clad soldiers
with the red battery facings made as they
filed out of their armory corner of Page
and Cough streets, and tramped down to
the Tiburon ferry. There were about 400
men in line, the four companies, A, &, d
and E, turning out full. The Second Ar
tillery, under the able management of
Colonel Mcdonald and Lieutenant-CoIoue
Geary, is one of the crack regiments of the
State military force, and seldom has any
empty spaces in the ranks when the las
sembly" sounds.
The troops were accompanied by their
own brass band, hospital corps and by
several signalmen. At.Ukiah, where they
will go in camp for week, the generous
citizens have prepared everything for their
reception, and every trooper from the
colonel down to Peter jackson Jr., the
dusky mascot on his wheel, is anticipating
seven days of enjoyment among the oaken
hills and wales of Mendocino County.
