trappers and Indians in this valley are
easily within the memory of men then
grown to manhood's estate.
The stages of the transformation from
those primitive days to the present are
comprised in three distinct eras, viz: the
mining era, the cattle-raising era and the
present era of agriculture and horticulture
by means of irrigation.
The late A. Y. Easterby was the modern
Aladdin who first made use of the means
in the territory now comprised within the
limits of Fresno County by which the pres
ent days magic work began. This magl-
clans lamp was that of experience only.
He had witnessed the wonderfully beneti-
cent effects of irrigation in India and
Egypt. He applied his experience and
observation to this great valley; that was
all. He diverted the waters from the
great streams which traverse this valley
at remarkably equdistant intervals and
spread them out upon the broad. level
plains.
The surface of the land is composed of a
rich alluvial deposit, which, under Easter
by's system of moisture, yields to the hus-
bandman most remarkable returns.
The colony system of irrigation, by
which the land has been divided up into
ten and twenty acre tracts, is probably
without a parallel in any other part of the
world in its extent and the success which
characterized its adoption in this valley.
A few figures on this point will be
highly instructive. 1t has been ascer-

ton.
Sidney V. Smith Wants to Get Into
the Board of the Donahue
Road.

There is trouble over the election of di.
! rectors of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railroad, held ON January &c
last. At that election Antoine Borel, A.
w. Foster, A. Markham, J. B. Stetson,
George A. Newhall, P. N. Lilienthal and
John L. Howard were declared elected,
and now Sidney V. Smith, Antoine Borel,
J. B. Stetson and John l.. Howard are
asking that the election be set aside to the
extent of declaring Smith elected and P.
N. Lilienthal defeated.
There are $4,000 shares of stock in the
company, and there were represented in
the meeting 54 800 shares. When the vote
had been taken the plaintiffs allege that
the following was the result: Antoine
Borel, 1854; ]. B. Stetson, 52,s45; John
L. Howard, 52,s43; Sidney V. Smith,
52,s43; A. w. Foster, 1852; Andrew
Markham, 1872; George A. NewhalI,
43,l62. and P. n. Lilienthal 43,159.
Borel voted his own stock and also over
5000 shares belonging to Peter Gundecher
ind G.. e. Wagner. When these were
about to be counted Jesse w. Lilienthal,
who held one share, protested against
them on the ground that neither Gun

holders and that they could not, therefore,
assign their proxy to any one. Besides, he
said the proxies held by Borel had been
revoked by the death of Ladenburg of the
firm of Ladenburg,. Thallman & Co., the
real owners of the stock objected to. A.
w. Foster, who presided, heard the protest,
ruled it well taken, and threw out all the
votes cast by Borel as proxy.
1t is further alleged that Jesse w.
Lilienthal and Andrew Markham, against
the protest of Smith, forged ballot with
all Smiths stock distributed for him, and
cast the same. The ballot, the complaint
states, was as follows: For Arthur w.
Foster, d, ,555; for Andrew Markham, d.
555; for George A. Newhall, q, ,553; for 2.
N. Lilienthal, q ,553.
This ballot was counted, and Smith
claims his own ballot was thrown out and
this forged ballot counted. This caused
change in the result as follows: J. P. Stet-
son 11,417, John L. Howard 105, A. w.
Foster ga, lis, A. Markham 64, Ills, George
A. Newhall GA, 715, P. N. Lilienthal "a, ,712,
Antoine Borel 81, 4,844.
These directors were declared elected.
The whole matter was conspiracy, the
com plant states, to secure for Foster the
presidency of the board, the Anglo Cali
fornIa Bank as treasurer and Jesse w.
Lilienthal as counsel.
At the meeting it is charged that Jesse
w. Lilienthal acted as counsel for Foster,
and advised him to rule as he did.

SUTRO AND THE MAILS
The Mayor Could Be Indicted by the
United States Grand



Replying to the question whether steps
would be taken to punish Mayor Sutro
for violating the law against depositing
scurrilous matter for delivery through the
mails. Postmaster Frank McCoppin yes
terday said:
"The subject has passed beyond my
hands. It has been referred to the In
spectors by the Postoffice Department. and
if they consider that the statute has been
violated by Mavor Sutro they can present
the question to the United States District
Attorney. who may place the matter be-
fore the United States Grand Jury now in
| session.
The Postmaster was asked if he consid-
| cred the matter forwarded by Mr.. Sutro as
scurrilous within the meaning OF the law,
and he replied:
THAT is a question for the inspectors,
the District Attorney and Grand Jury to
determine regarded the matter as un-
mailabIe under the law and detained some
800 or 1000 envelopes. Some, however,
went through. The course pursued by
him might do for Barbary Coast corre-
spondence, but the idea OF sending such
comment as the envelopes contained 20
the capital of the Nation and to represent
tatiyes of tho people in Congress was in
decent and absurd to say the least.
at is not fair to censure Mr.. Chandler, !"
continued the Postmaster. He did write
at the bottom of one of the printed circu-
lars that he was willing to receive respect
full communication from any citizen of
California, but he did object to receiving
scurrilous communications such as had
beed incloSed and mailed to him."
The penalty under the statute for send
ing scurrilous or defamatory communica-
tions through the mails is, upon convic-
ton, fine of not more $4,000, or imprison-
ment at hard labor not more than five
years, Or both, at the discretion Of the
court.

wherein Mr.. Curtner pledges bond OF
deed conditional upon the endowment.
The property cost the donor $4,000.
The officers are: Mrs. H. II. Luse, pres
ident; Mrs. Ella +. Mcguire of Saratoga,
