| number of ways. Oakland is displaying
the intelligence to appreciate the value OF
such an institution and is exhibiting the
enterprise to make it an accomplished fact
The district fairs, which until last year
received State aid, were originally intended
for similar purpose, but they have been
having such troubles lately as will likely
lead to their complete abandonment. State
appropriations are always uncertain guam
titles, and dependence upon State assist
ance operates to the production of lag
gard home interest. The only sensible
way in which fair associations can be han
died is as private enterprises, preferably
as corporations like the San Francisco and
Oakland concerns in which the small price
of shares serves as aninducementf for popu-
lar investment and a widely distributed
interest in the success of the enterprise.
The general adoption of this idea would
make it possible FOR every town of any size
in the State to maintain a fair association.
As the movement for holding festivals has
gained so strong headway, these entertain
ments might easily and properly come
under the management of such associa-
tons and be sure of trained handling and
an annual recurrence. Petty jealousies and
chickering's would be eliminated and an
affair of public Importance conducted on
sound business principles.

VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS.

The cheerfulness with which the share
holders OF the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railroad responded to the
fourth assessment of 10 per cent of their
subscriptions indicates the faith which
shrewd business men have in the enter
prise. The directors announce that they
will have the road in operation between
Stockton and Fresno by the 1st of July,
and between Fresno and Bakersfield by
October. All the heaviest work has been
in the vicinity of Stockton, where yards
and expensive bridges had to be provided.
From the Stanislaus River southwark will
be easy work and rapid progress. By get
ting the road into Fresno by July 1 the
new enterprise Will be in time to handle
some OF the green fruit crop and all the
dried fruit, grapes, raisins, wine and grain
as far as San Francisco. The presence of
this facility will add several dollars to the
value OF every acre of land along the route.
1t has been gratifying 10 note that no
undue excitement thus far has followed
the building of the road. Even Stockton,
which viii receive the cream of its bene-
fits, has had no boom in the ordinary
sense, although property values there have
~ oA1SS0J anu pAS PdAelelOA4S bAS bSA1i5
made to establish important manufacture
ing enterprises in the city.
The news from Washington is to the eff
feet that the influence of the Southern
Pacific Company is being powerfully ex-
erted to prevent an appropriation for i'm
proving the pavigable rivers of California.
1t is not difficult to surmise that this OPP
position is intended to cripple the value of
the Valley road to the State by preventing
the deepening and Strengthening of the
water channel which gives Stockton an
outlet to the Bay Of San Francisco. The
more inadequate this channel the stronger
the hold of the Southern Pacific monopoly
on the entire San Joaquin Valley. AL
though the directors of the Valley road
say that they are not considering at all
the idea OF extending the line from Stock
ton to Oakland, it is conceivable that if
the Southern Pacific succeed in blocking
the improvement of the Stockton water
way they may be compelled to resort to
that recourse.
The ten-Year trust in which the stock of
the Valley road was placed is an impassa-
bic barrier to the absorption of that line
by the Santa Fe, but not to traffic ar
rangement between the two roads. The
plans of the new Santa Fe management
have not yet been announced. The inter-
ests of the road are seriously threatened
in the south by the determined work of
the Southern Pacific to secure a harbor
improvement appropriation for Santa
Monica instead of San Pedro, and the
Santa Fe may be expected to show its
hand in Washington and to make a fight
for an invasion of the Southern Pacific
Company's territory north of Tehachapi.
Whether it will prefer an independent line
to a traffic arrangement with the Valley
road is a matter which it is now too early
by at least year to discuss.

OAKLAND'S EXAMPLE.

The result of Oakland recent industrial
exposition has been the Incorporation of
the Oakland Exposition Institute, on the
lines Of the Mechanics Institute of San
Francisco. The capital stock is TO be $780,
900, divided into 1000 shares of 500 each.
This will make popular subscriptions easy.
and as the first effort at holding an expo
siuon yielded good surplus the invest
ment undoubtedly will be profitable.
The Mechanics Institute has been for
many years one OF the most important
concerns in San Francisco. It's library is
one of the largest, most popular and most
profitable in the State, the small fee which
it exacts enabling thousands to enjoy its
benefits. It's annual fairs are an estab-
lished institution, equaling in Importance
the State fairs at Sacramento. They bring
every year thousands of visitors to the
City and are exceedingly beneficial! in

THE NEW STATE.

Now that Utah has become a State and
to-day will enter upon the practical bust
ness OF conducting its own affairs it as
sumes an Importance which is as much
the product of its history as IS suggested
by its future. When its pioneers, the
Mormons, fed to it for refuge and planted
their colony en- the smiling plain of the
Great Salt Lake, they never dreamed of
the vast stores of mineral wealth which its
formidable mountains held, and failed to
foresee the westward surging of the civil
ization which they had fled. They estab-
hshed a patriarchal government of their
own which was unique on American soil
and being frugal and industrious they
prospered amazingly.
The bitter struggles which followed the
efforts OF those not in sympathy with their
religious institutions need not be re-
counted here. Gradually they yielded to
the outside pressure, were brought under
Federal discipline and the operation Of
laws compelling them to conform to the
general usages of the country. Thence
forward they were no longer aliens, but
were part of the great people from whom
they had Withdrawn themselves. From
that to complete utilization in the relation
of statehood was natural and inevitable
step, and to-day there is no barrier be-
tween any OF the people of Utah and those
who compose the Nation.
The future will be merely the further de-
velopment of this spirit. The admission
OF Utah as a State would have been i'm
possible had not the past been guaranty
of the future. In the actual work of pre-
pairing for statehood were seen the strong
est evidence OF unity of purpose, high in
telligence, true patriotism and desire for
a bright and harmonious future. This
splendid empire will no longer be COM
PEELED merely to exist at the sufferance of
Federal authority. 1t is now clothed with
all the powers of State, which means
above all things else that it can employ the
energies of its people in the development
OF the splendid native resources which
await their concerted touch. The new
State is born a giant.

THE NEW COUPLE.

She was new and was constructed on the latest
modern plan,
But she lost her heart like Others and of course,
twas lost to man:
So at last the two married, and they started
married life,
AS they thought, equipped and ready, well pre-
pared for any strife
She was posted on his business quite thoroughly
he;
She had studied all the details, and, any one
could see,
She could run his shop office; and it also seemed
quite clear
She could act as his bookkeeper or could serve as
his cashier
She could sell goods on commission, could buy
on thirty days;
She was sharper than most merchants in all proper
business ways;
She could stake" from his dictation, and dictate
to others, too;
There nothing round the Office that she really
couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored for life
of great success,
But the outcome OF their trial failure more
or less;
They are doomed to boarding houses, and regret
fully they roam,
For while they both can run the Office neither one
make a home.
