an extra train being run from Kansas City
on west.
The new Atchison express train which is
to run from Chicago to Kansas City in
thirteen hours, will not be inaugurated

changed west Of Kansas City. A trial,
however, will be made before changing the
running time, as time card changes are ex-
| pensive.

SANTA ROSA, March 16.-Isaac De
Turk, one of the leading vineyardists of
the State, died in this city tonight at
the age of 81 years. He had been in i'll
health for some time. and his death was
not entirely unexpected.
Mr. De Turk was native of Pennsyl-
vania, and came to California about
twenty-five years ago. Since taking up
his residence here he has been at the
head of many viticultUral and agricult-
Gral enterprises. His vineyards covered
thousands of acres, and his Los Guillo-
cos Valley winery, the largest in the
world, fifteen miles east of Santa Rosa,
was popular retreat.
Mr. De Turk was for years at the head
of the State VGcultural Association,
and a member OF the State Viticultural
Commission; was a prime mover in the
organization of the San Francisco and
Santa Rosa Boards of Trade, and was
connected with the Sonoma County
Horse Breeders Association, being the
original owner of the celebrated stallion
Anteeo.
In Santa Rosa the deceased will be
greatly missed, as he was interested in
every development OF the town and
county
Mr.. De Turk never married, but his
home was ever open and his hospitality
unbounded. The only relative he is
known to have in the State is William
De Turk, drug clerk al Petaluma
