This Year.

We have never done a more
thriving holiday trade than at
present. Thousands OF customers
throng our counters daily, and at
test thereby that goods, assort-
ments and prices are right.
This is not surprising when it
IS taken into consideration that a
large part of our merchandise
comes direct from the factories,
and that we own it at the least
possible cost. On the other hand
we sell for cash only, giving credit
to no one, and can and do make
lower prices than otherwise posi-
bic.
We have much the largest stock
Of Holiday Goods in Sacramento
or vicinity. If your time for buy
ing is limited it will be we'll to re-
member that the strongest proba-
bility OF finding what you want is
here.
Extra salespeople, packers. de-
liveries of goods, etc, in order
that every one may be served
promptly and well. Store open

THE YOSEMITE ROAD.
Good Prospect That the Govern
ment VIII Build It.
fFron, the San Jose Mercury.

(From the San jose Mercury
Congressman De Vries has introduced
into the House a bill for the appoint
ment of a commission. to be composed
OF two United States engineers and one
member Of the Board of Highway Com
missioners of the state of California.
10 inquire into the subject Of model
road from some point in the San Joa-
quin Valley into Yosemite Valley, to
be constructed by the Government. Il
The record-union., 1897-12-19

will be their duty to find the length,
width and grades Of the existing roads
leading into the Yosemite, the distance
from stations or other points Of the
proposed new road, together with the
possible attainable grades and width
Of such proposed road, and all other de-
sirable information concerning the SUBJ
ject. This commission, if the bill be
passed, will gather it's data next sum-
mer and report in time for Congress to
act during the short session. Mr.. De
Vries is confident that their will be no
trouble in determining upon the best
and it is highly probable that the road
will be built.
The suggestion that a model highway
constructed in accordance with the most
approved principles Of road building,
leading into the Yosemite Valley should
be made by the Government originated
with the Sacramento Record Union" :"
and as such an improvement would be
an advantage to all sections of the
State, offering as it would a free and
perfect highway for all who may de-
sire to visit the valley, the idea has re-
cefved the earnest Endorsement of the
California public. The residents Of
Santa Clara County, for example, are
as deeply interested in having a wide,
smooth road, with an easy grade, built
into the Yosemite Valley as are the
people of San Joaquin Valley, from
some point in which the road would
start. Hundreds of people in this coun-
ty who would like to visit the valley,
driving their own teams, have refrained
from doing so because of the inconve-
niences and discomforts inseparable
from the present roads. Nor is there
any inconsistency or improperly in the
request by the people of California that
the expense of constructing a new road
be borne by the Government. Every
foot of land surrounding Yosemite Val
ley is owned by the Government so
that much of the road would pass over
its own property.
There are at present four toll roads
that lead into the valley, and several
| months ago a scheme was projected for
selling these roads to the Government.
But that plan is altogether unsatisfac-
tory. What is needed is one first-class
road, which shall be a model road
throughout, and the Government ought
to build it. The Mercury believes
that it will. The .Record-Union" pc
titions have been signed by thousands
Of representative men in the State, and
Congressman De Vries is satisfied that
they viii be of great weight in deter
| ilIilillS lllc UldlltT. But, aS Illdl pa
per says, effort in the direction al
ready taken should not cease. Friends
of the proposed road should not allow
any opportunity to pass unimproved
to influence Congressman favorably
toward the plan. Many such opportu-
mites Will present within the next few
months" And all who have assisted
in forwarding the plan "have the salts
faction Of knowing that their public
spirited labors have not thus far been
in vain, and that there is the strongest
of probabilities that at a reasonably
early date they will see the final results
Of their unselfish endeavors in the
construction of the much needed high
way by order of the Federal Govern
ment"

1T SHOULD Be A GREAT GAME.
BETWEENTHE GILT EDGES AND
THE ALERTS.
The Clubs Will Come Together FOR
the First Time This
Afternoon.

There has long been a desire mani
tested by local baseball admirers TO
witness a game between the much
touted Alerts of San Francisco and the
Gilt Edges.
This desire will be gratified this after
noon. for these two clubs are to come
together at Snowflake Park at O'Clock.
The home club will have Jay Hughes
in the box, with Stanley behind the
bat, and popular Bob McHale at nrst
base The Alerts have secured the as
sistance Of Joe Corbett of the Bdlu-
mores, but he is slated for the center
field. Ever since that memorable game,
a few weeks ago, in which the baltl-
mores We're defeated by the Gilt Edges,
Corbett-himSelf the crack pitcher OF
the National League-has entertained
wholesome respect for Jay Hughes
twisters, and apparently has no burn
ing desire to allow the public to draw
comparisons between their box work.
This is only supposition, however, 1of
it may be that Joe is simply giving ms
pitching arm a rest for the active work
of next summer, for he had hard
season this year.
The battery for the Alerts this after
noon will be Moskiman and Hammond.
The full makeup of both teams will be
as follows:
Gilt Edges. Position. Alerts.
Stanley ....... Catcher -. Hammond
J. Hughes -. Pitcher -. Moskiman
McHale :. ...... First Base ..... O'Kane
z. Hughes :. Second Base ..... Eagan
Peoples 800. Third Base :. Broikhoff
