IMPORTANT ENTERPRISES.

One of the enterprises which promises
much for this city and county is the
proposed electric railway to Fair Oaks
and Orangevale. This matter was in
good shape last fall when the "unex-
pected happened and the enterprise
was delayed. I am assured that the
promoters are now about to again take
hold OF the project on the lines followed
before and should they do SO, it will be
well for all subscribers for bonds and
others who should favor the road TO be
prompt in coming forward to aid this
undertaking by renewing their subscrip
tons and in rendering other assistance
The city's recent progress calls for a
suburban outlet of that kind. The rapid
growth of Fair Oaks Colony and it's like
lihood of Immediately assuming en-
larged proportions by additions and
greater development assures the road
good returns from its commencement Of
operations. The road in return viii give
the colonies a permanancy and needed
close communication with the city This
great suburban development will not
only give the country more wealth. pro-
ducing power, but it will increase our
resentation in both branches of the Leg
islature, situation much to be desired.
The proposed macadam wagon road
to Folsom should be made special mat
ter of urgency by citizens of both city
and country. The recent efforts made to
have the price of crushed rock advanced
from it's present low rates and the great
necessity for just such road to Fol-
som and the colonies calls for prompt
action in this matter. This road would
not only accommodate the interests al
ready mentioned but it would benefit the
rich country through which it would
run. 1t would be used and appreciated by
those who drive out of the city at all
seasons of the year. In legislative times
it would be a highway of rest and rec
reation. Any delay in its construction
will be a reflection on the enterprise
and appreciation of ali parties interested
therein

AN APOLOGY.

| In my annual review of last year there
was noted the fact that information had
reached your Board of Directors that a
| leading member of the United States
Weather Bureau Service for this coast
was about to recommend the removal
of the Sacramento station to San Fran
cisco. Quite an effort was made
through the State officers and several
| organizations to offset such action. Pro-
| fessor Moore, chief of the Weather Blu
reau at Washington, was appealed to and
gave assurance that he had not enter
| tanned any idea of such removal. While
the protests filed at Washington at that
| time brought the consideration of the
| Importance of this station to the atten-
ton of the department, it no doubt cast
| a reflection on Forecast Officer w. H.
Harmon of San Francisco. A few days
| ago, just as / was about to take the
| train to leave this city, Mr.. Harmon,
who had ca il to look up that proposed
removal report, assured me that he had
not made any such recommendation, nor
at any time contemplated doing So 1t
is a bad thing to send forward to a
Government department groundless
statements rejecting on local officers,
and 1 exceedingly regret the occurrence.
1t would be advisable that hereafter
similar statements should be we'll
vouched for.
FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
| Owing to frosts and bad weather last
| spring the year 1896 was an "off year
| for fruits. Even the usual advance Of
| prices for short crop year was checked
by there being a large crop of many va
rieties grown in several Eastern States.
| There We're, however, under these I'M
favorable circumstances the following
through shipments made of deciduous
| fruit to Eastern points, viz:
shipments from January 1st to October

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

AS already intimated to you, the
experimental tests in the line of sugar
beet culture is in the hands of a good
committee. They have secured the SER
vices OF an expert who will keep the
matter in hand and will personally look
after all the plants in the several Sc
lected locations of the surrounding
country. While there is little question
but that this section of the State will
show results most satisfactory it is
we'll to take this matter now in hand
carefully and Systematically so as to
prove the question beyond a doubt
automatically test the product of all To-
calities and file results with this cham
Der, so that the same can be examined
by our own capitalists and anyone else
who may desire to invest in this, the
coming leading industry.
The culture of the sugar beet adds
one more variety to the long list al
ready established. The farmer gets re-
turns for his heets direct from the
manufacturer and within six or seven
months after planting.
This city is one of the largest dis
tributing centers of the State Sugar
beets can be delivered to factory here
from long distances at nominal
freight cost. The market for sugar is
unlimited. Some one with money and
practical experience in that business
viii soon come here and should have
no trouble in securing locally needed
additional capital to establish a large
sugar factory and refinery.

Democrat and Very Popular.

Robert K. L. White Will not be one of
the justices of the peace for the District
OF Columbia. His name has been With
drawn from the Senate. Just what motive
actuated tie President in doing this is not
known. for reasons for such action are not
expected from the Executive nor are they
volunteered. 1t is understood, however,
TO have been taken at the advice and
suggestion of the Attorney General
All that the Senate Committee of the Dis
trict knows of the case is that the name OF

was referred TO that committee an,I that 1t
has been Withdrawn. No investigation OF
the charges against the nominee had hcen
made Eor had such charges, alleged in the
newspapers. been formally laid before the
committee.
IL Is understood that the charges were
looked into by the Department of Justice
and the conclusion reached there that 1t
would be wise to nominate someone else
for the position. The chief reason for
naming Mr. White Is said to have been the
scarcity of legal material residing In
BIightwood, and willing to take the posi-
