SAN JOSE's NEW ROAD.

The Board of Supervisors of Santa Clara
County has granted franchise for an
electric road from San Jose to Saratoga
and Congress Springs, in the foothills of
the Santa Cruz Mountains on the eastern
verge of the Santa Clara Valley. The road
is to carry both passengers and freight,
the latter at night only, and freightcars
are not to be hauled through the city. It
is not yet announced where the power
house is to be placed nor what kind of
fuel is to be used. 1t would be possible to
secure water power in the mountains for
the purpose. These are details which are
now to be worked out.
If the new road, as likely it will, adopts
standard gauge 1t could easily run its
cars upon the track of the steam road pro-
iected to connect San Jose with the deep
water of San Francisco Bay at Alviso.
Thus stretch of country about sixteen
miles In length and including San Jose,
Santa Clara and very rich and densely
settled orchard and vineyard section, will
pass entirely from under the monopoly of
the Southern Pacific so far as local traffic
is concerned. This should be made to add
enormously to the prosperity and wealth
of those parts Of Santa Clara County
which will enjoy that advantage.
The new road to Saratoga will at once
induce the planting of a large area in
vines, oranges and deciduous fruits Sara
toga is hamlet nesting in the foothills
and overlooking the broad expanse of one
OF the most enchanting valleys in the
world. A fine wagon road, following the
hills from Los Gatos to Mountain View,
passes through the village, and it will
serve as a valuable feeder to the electric
road. AS the new road will run out Sara
toga avenue, broad highway connecting
San Jose and Saratoga, and as the great
advantage of an electric road is that it's
cars stop everywhere, every farm will
become station and every acre of ground
Will come under cultivation.
The exigencies of the Southern Pacific
Company's business demand that it, too,
shall contribute to the welfare of the valley
Besides having an early prospect of COM
petition for the traffic of that section it is
steadily pushing its coast line toward
Santa Barbara, and as this when COM
pleted will he made part OF the southern
overland line for passenger business, all
the traffic will pass through the Santa
Clara Valley and have an opportunity to
see the wonderful development to which
its fruit-growing industry has been carried

Found the Cap of the Sphinx.

Egypt, 1t has hitherto always been be-

Sphinx as could be known; but now
Colonel Roum. an American, by digging
round the base, has brought some very
curious facts to light. At the back of
the figure was found shaft twenty five
feet deep, with two passages running
out Of it at the bottom.
More important was the discovery OF
the long lost cap of the Sphinx which was
found fifteen feet below the surface of
the little temple or shrine between the
paws. The cap is painted red, and is
adorned with the three lotus columns
and the serpent. As the hole in the top
of the head of the Sphinx, into which
the cap was fastened, is still unchanged,
the cap should be restored to its place.
We hope that Colonel Roum's next
find will be the fragments of the nose
broken off by an Arab iconoclast some
five hundred years ago. If these could
be recovered and the nose restored, the
Sphinx would be 1.-THE father of terrors'
