AN ALASKAN EXPEDITION.
Fifty Men Who Will Again Tempt
Fortune I'm the Frozen North.


Fortune In the Frozen North.
Another expedition into the wilds of
Alaska in search of wealth and fame is
being got ready. At the head of it is P
Newman of Oakland and A. McNevin Of
the McNevin Brothers School OF Naviga-
tion in this City. The schooner Affair,
now in Oakland Creek, is TO be purchased
and the membership is to be limited to
fifty able bodied men.
The conditions are that each man shall
put up $2l0 and in return he will be guar
anteed trip to Alaska and back again
and six months board and lodging. A
considerable quantity of trade articles will
be taken up and money is expected to be
made in that way. The schooner will first

who desire can land and will go prospect
ing. They will be well provisioned from
the general store and instructed as to
when the Affair will be back for them.
The schooner will proceed to Cooks In
let, and from thence on trading cruise.
On the way back the men at Cooks Inlet
and Prince Williams Sound will be picked
up On arriving here the vessel and trade
will be sold, and the proceeds divided pro
rata.
The promoters are most sanguine of the
certain that any one VII goes into it has
not much to lose, as he will get trip to
Alaska and back and six months board
and lodgings for the money named.

son took out the Barton, and Captain
Bonifield the Humboldt.
The barkentine Willie r. Hume, Cap.

from Shanghai, and considerable anxiety
is felt over her non-arrival. She is prob

YOLO COUNTY.

WINTERS, CAL, March 1s-A very
large acreage OF grain has been sown in
YoJo County and without exception
it is looking well. Fall-sown wheat
is in especially fine condition and
the yield, with favorable weather for two
months, is sure to be above the average.
Rain, however, has held some OF the farm
ers who are sowing spring grain back and
the yield may not be as good as it other
wise would. 1t is estimated, however,
that it will be fa- ahead of last year.
Hay, and in fact all field crops, in this
county promise more than an average
yield. Very little tillable land is idle, there
being strong demand for every acre that
can be rented.
Except frosts intervene the fruit crop
will be heavy. Orchardists report that
. the apricot and peach buds are not as
plentiful this season as in other seasons,
but that insures large fruit and good quail
ty. The pear crop will be heavy. Many ne W
orchards in the vicinity of Winters and
in the Capay Valley are coming into bear
ing this season and Yolo County will have
rich returns from her fruit if prices are
fair.
Most of the pruning in the vicinity Of
Winters is done and many trees are in
blossom. Small fruit also promises well
and, in all probability, will yield good
crop.

TEHAMA COUNTY.

RED BLUFF, CAL. March 1S.-Grain
in Tehama County never looked better
than it does at present as whole, though
some little grain on the bottom has been
injured from 100 much moisture.
The area planted is slightly in excess of
recent years, and the cron promises to
be heavier on an average. But little will
be cut for hay where the yield is lit TO
make grain. But little barley has been
planted.
There is promise of an exceedingly
heavy crop of fruits Almonds and apfi-
cots are well formed. Peaches and prunes
are more backward. In TACT, all fruit
trees-are backward this season, and it is
not thought now that they will be IN any
danger of frost. No frost has as yet

Mr.. Bergin demands $500 from the

he sent an officer to serve the sum m ons
that functionary was informed that the
sisters Matthai were not at home.
Watching the premises day and night
did no good, for when he was in front they
went out and in through the rear door,
and after he took up position in the
alley they used the front door for egress
and ingress.
Another man was hired to assist, and
then the fair defendants availed them

despaired of obtaining personal service,
and has applied for an order Of court which
will permit him to make service by publ

ROBBED IN A SALOON.
Visitor Frightened by the Bogus
Husband Racket.

An official from one Of the counties
in the northern part of the state had
a "hot time" as he expressed 1t, Tor
half an hour last evening, and it cost
him $3.50 in cold cash. Accompanied
by friend who lives in st. Paul he
went out for a stroll to pass the time
until the late train on the Duluth road
was scheduled to start. They met a
couple of women on Seventh street anu
the quartette adjourned to Robert
street saloon to have a bottle OF beer.
One of the women tipped over the tray
containing the glasses and in the eX-
citement that followed deftly abstract
ed the county officials roll from his
vest pocket. The money was not MISS
ed until the party had left the saloon
and entered another resort on East
Seventh street. Here another drink
was ordered, and when he felt for his
money the visitor discovered he had
been touched He talked about cali
ing in the police, but was frightened
almost to death when a we'll dressed
fellow rushed in and placing revolver
to the head of his fair companion
threatened to shoot her for flirting with
another man. In the miX-up that fol-
lowed the gun play both women left,
and as soon as the victim could re-
cover from his fright he started FOR
the union depot. His friend advised
him to report the affair to the police,
but the country visitor couldn't stand
for his escapade being made public
and said he would charge the amount
up to profit and loss and let it go at

TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY.
Several Matters OF Importance Up
for Consideration

At the meeting Of the Trades and
Labor assembly last night, 100 dele
gates were present. and at times ora
terry flowed as freely as water. Dele
gates from the boot and shoe workers
union, in the persons Of Albert Peter
son, Louis Peterson, F. A. King and
S. G. Downs, and G.. N. Middents from
the Label league were obligated. The
proposition submitted by James Nor
row at a previous meeting to establish
a legal department was referred to the
executive board for investigation, with
instructions to report at the next meet
ing. The retail clerks, through their
delegation, filed a grievance against a
local business house keeping open after
regular hours. 1t was referred to
the grievance committee. E. B. Lott
chairman of the assembIy's delegation
to the Label league, made an interest
ing report of the transactions of that
body and asked that the ablest repre-
sentatives be sent as delegates.
w. e. McEwen, president of the
Trades and Labor federation, of Du-
lu,th, under the head of "Welfare of
the Assembly" gave an interesting &C
count Of the labor movement in that
city. He stated that there were fifty
one unions there, that the wives. chill

sions and that Duluth was one of the
strongest organized towns in the coun-
try John Swift, of Minneapolis, fol-
lowed in one of his characteristic
speeches along the lines of organiza-
ton and was warmly applauded.
Several matters of more than usual
Importance were discussed and re-
ferred to the executive board for con-
sideration.
A special meeting Of the BARRIERS
union will be held at Assembly halls
Monday evening". It is said that the
trouble which the local and the inter
national union have been having over
the refusal of the latter to allow the
claims of a couple of the members of
the home union for sick benefit is
the reason for the special meeting
called, and that radical steps will be
taken in the matter. some of the menu
berS even talking secession.
