Galveston, Texas, November 1.-The coast
country is going to secure an added indus
try in the establishment OF an immense
dairy at Winnie, n station on the Gulf and
Interstate railroad about twenty five miles
out of Galveston.
Ex-Governor Wheeler OF Iowa is behind
the scheme, and interested with him is MIR.
b, l. Mills of Chicago. Mr.. Mills is Gov
ernor Wheeler's son -in-law and is a brother
10 Luther Loflin Mills. who is perhaps the
most widely known lawyer in all the West.
The general supervision OF the work Will
be under the direction OF Mr.. Mills, and he
has been down here for some time looking
after the progress OF things. Speaking to a
Post reporter today. he said;
when fully established we will milk
1000 COWS day ct our ranch. The milking
will be done by machinery and each COW
Will be kept under separat. shed. The
work Yves far under way when the storm
came about six weeks ago and destroyed all
the shells We had erected. Since then the
work of rebuilding has been going ON and
will be pushed as rapidly as possible The
cows have cot Yet been bought. AMI the
ut'hiis VI tiiae VIII DC lett entirely 10 Gov
ernor Wheeler.
II am not much OF farmer" laughed
Mr.. Mills. ana my expert opinion on a
matter OF the kind would not be worth very
much"
Governor Wheeler will reach Texas next
week TO lock after the progress OF the work
and TO lend 1t his personal attention. The
most improved methods OF handling aud
taking care of the milk will be employed,
ard altogether II will be an industry that
the people of the coast country will glad
~ welcome.
Nj. Mills has lived in the Windy City all
his life. where there is q little more of bus
tie and excitement than Is to he found
here. Before coming to Texas he imagined
the size of Winnie ard when told there
were perhaps thirty or forty houses there
In all. he very nearly tainted He imme-
diately served notice on Governor Wheeler
that he would make his headquarters in
Galveston, and so he has. He is well
pleased with this city. but says the hot
weather was almost too much for him.

Elk GROVE Is IN Line.
Residents Want the Main Road MaCadam-
lied.
A Committee Waits ON the Board of
Supervisors With a Re.
quest for 1t.

E. Everson, with d delegation from
Elk Grove, appeared before the Board
of Supervisors yesterday in relation to
improving the streets Of the town with
macadam and curbing. He said the
residents there are willing TO do all
they can to aid the county, but could
not pledge a particular amount
Dan Stevens said the people were
anxious to have the work done, and he
thought that when the project became
better known people generally would
be willing to contribute toward the
Improvement.
Morrison, said he thought it would be
well to call for bids for the whole length
of road asked for 800 feet, II feet
wide and the contractor would prob
ably be glad to widen it out where
wanted, in consonance with the wishes
of the peOole on the same terms.
The board was also asked to take ac-
ton toward opening a crossing over the
railroad a block south Of the main
street. Jenkins said it had already
been declared a public highway
W. S. Brainard thought the citizens
would do best to make good road of
a fair width as far as they could at
present, and increase it as they can
but what is done, no matter how much
or how little, should be done thor
oughly.
Morrison thought that bids should be
called for. so as to ascertain the cost,
and meantime the Elk Grove people
could settle on what extent they could
assist.
County Surveyor Boyd thought that If
a committee would wait on the railroad
company and lay the case before it, as
it is largely interested in the prosperity
Of the town, it would probably respond
suitably. A committee of citizens, he
thought, should be appointed to wait on
the officials.
Jenkins thought the board should ap-
point q committee to wait on the COM
pany with the citizens committee, and
also that the road should be put in con-
dition to receive macadan. Elk Grove
has always been liberal, and he thought
it would now respond literally.
Morrison thought that the bids should
be for finishing the road entirely, in
stead of putting in shape to receive
macadam. The citizens committee had
better canvass for subscriptions, and
after the 1st Of July the board would be
in shape to build the road better.
The matter rested at that point The
total amount of improvement asked for
is 300 feet.
w. NJ. Sims appeared before the
board in relation to the levying an as
sesSment of Reclamation District No.
o,}o, for the raising of an assessment OF
81 900 to pay the proportion of the
debts adsudged to be due from the dis
trict when District No. 613 was set off
from it.

Physicians tell us that suspended
from the head of the colon in the hui
man organism there is an integument
or sack, the rudiinentary remains Of
some lower form of animal life which
the evolutionary processes of develop
ment have failed to eliminate. They
say that this little integument performs
no office whatever; that it is indeed
within al organ, but that small as it is,
it may become infamed and intiict
great pain, and even death. In the
Congress of the United States Mr.. De

and morally a rudimentary integument,

him as useless, though by no means as
dangerous as a verfnifoIm appendix.

Trustees Agree to Stand Part of the
Expense.

The City Board of Trustees and the
City Board of Education have come to
an agreement whereby a thorough CEN

children is taken, the city contributing
part of the cost, and it will soon be
known, therefore, what the population
of Sacramento really is.
The City Board of Education last
week elected all the school census mar
shals except the one from the Fourth
Ward, and has now finished out the list
by electing Thomas Harper from that
ward

Variety of Spring Weather and What
1t Leads To.

In the morning the snow fell If mill
ions of white birds were shedding their
feathers By noon the snow had turned
into a sullen, beating rain, yet the sun set
in unclouded glory. That is the history of
an American spring day. This sort of
spring does not inspire poets, but ii I'M
chains the demon called grip. and what
havoc he makes in the community! No
trouble to tell when he has begun his mis-
chief The headache, that banishes rest
by day and makes the night a long tor
ture: the pain in bone and muscle; the ner-
vousness: the cough that refuses TO be
Quieted, and the rawness OF throat and the
soreness of lung, all tell the story.
Naturally this vicious foe to life has set
the doctors thinking, talking. and writ
ing For once they are agreed. The best
of all grip medicines is a stimulant to
rouse every latent energy of the body, and
at the same time to be free from every
trace of deleterious matter.
The one stimulant that meets these con-
ditions is Duffy's pure malt whisky. So
says public opinion. so says the medical
profession. Always, at this time of the
year, keep Il bottle of this whisky in the
house, and you need have no fear of grip
or of its consequences. For sale by all
druggists and grocerS.

DRIFT MINING.
What is known as the Washington
Ridge has been the scene of consider
able activity the past six or eight
years. Deer Greek runs parallel with
the ridge. and it is supposed the an
cient river channel which courses down
the ridge was originally Deer Greek.
When streams of lava from the upper
Sierras flowed down the original
stream, covering it to a depth of from
800 to 800 feet, the water found n new
course, following the old river closely.
Some eight years ago residents here
sank an incline to what was believed
to be the level of the old channel and
by tunneling into the hill some hun
dreds Of feet struck the old channel.
and have been continuously working it
ever since. The gravel averages from
two to six feet in thickness and pays
al the way from a dollar to 81 per
carload of material is all run through
a stamp mill, and the gold is caught
in the batteries and plates. The ma
chinery is run by water power The
first company which opened the lead
was called the Harmony Subsequent
ly the West Harmony was opened in
a similar manner. The Delaware,
which is ground adjoining the West
Harmony, has been opened and a tun-
mel run to the end of the claim on
the west, and gravel is now being
worked. Below the Delaware is the
Millican claim, which is being opened
by Messrs. Poorman and Hastings
They have convenient and effective
plant and have their incline shaft
down $50 feet. Below this claim is the
Odin and Manzanita, both supposed to
be on the same channel The Man
zanita was worked for many years as
a hydraulic mine. The Odin ground
was thirty years ago worked by the
drift process, and made many men
wealthy 1t is stated on pretty good
authority that in early days there was
$4,000, 600 taken out Of 5000 feet of
this old channel.
The combined workings of all these
mines has given employment to a large
force of men ard has contributed large
ly to the business prosperity Of Ne
vada City. It is known that the
same channel extends for many miles
up the ridge and operations will doubt
less be carried on there for the next
fiftey years. w
