DOGS AS PROPERTY

The discussion in the eastern papers
of the United States supreme courts
decision in the Louisiana appeal seems
to have created very erroneous impress
sion in the minds of some of our people
as to the status of dogs as property. Our
people must remember that the decision
referred to has no bearing whatever on
dogs in this state, or any other where
dogs have been declared domestic ami
mails or personal property by the legis-
lature.
The supreme court was only dealing
with the constitutionality Of a certain
law Of Louisiana which declared that
dogs were only personal property when
they were assessed as such. The law
was a contingent declaration, creating
property under certain conditions and
not under others. The supreme court
has in no way interferred with any act
whereby dogs have been made personal
property; and in all such states the law
stand on just as solid and lasting a
foundation as ever. Dog owners of CAL
ifornia need have no fear of the full
force. of the act of our legislature of 1887,
which made dogs personal property and
gave them every protection guaranteed
to other domestic animals.-Field Sports.

The Semi-Centennial

It has been the dream of the San Jose
Mercury to celebrate the semi-centen-
NAL of the discovery Of gold in Califor-
mia, and the idea has met with great ia
vor from the press throughout the state.
The Sacramento Record-Union, with an
eye to the interest of home, is putting
forth a strong argument that the cele-
bration could be held with more appro-
priateness in the Capital City than any
where else in California. They contend
Marshall went from Sacramento to Sut-
ter's Fort; that he took the gold to that
city; that John A. Sutter, he founder of
Sacramento, sent Marshall out, and that
that city first sent the good news out to
the world. The Los Angeles Herald
Keeps up with the procession by clamor-
ing for the celebration in it's classic pre-
cincts. The reasons are strained, but the
enterprise Of the sheet cannot but be ad-
mired. They claim the actual discovery
of gold was made in Southern California,
but the oirouunStancs- ct sutter's Fort

OUR STATE FAIR

No event that has taken place in Cali
fornia has a greater hold upon the affec-
tions of the people Of this glorious land
than the state fair at Sacramento. 1t
is the only one that receives state aid,
hence the directors are most liberal in
giving good purses and conducting the
meeting in a manner which makes it a
magnet, drawing people from all parts
of California to it's spacious park.
Prosperity is beginning to dawn upon
California. Its farmers, orchardists and
vineyardists have little cause for COM
plaint this season. Money is coming in
plentifully, and there is not more en-
joyable place to get full value of it than
at the state fair, Sacramento. The ad-

is valuable to the horsemen and trainers,

CELLAR TO HIS GROUND FLOOR
King Tobor Resented Being Deceived
by His Friend Chicken Bill

Chicken Bill and Tabor were partners
in numerous mining adventures in the
mountains in the early days, before the
governor became known to fame as a
bonanza king, and each was in his sew
eral ways helpful to the other After
Tabor had struck it rich and had money
to burn Chicken Bill approached him
with scheme which he represented to
be very promising, and easily induced
him to take some stock in it. Before long
the fact developed that Tabor was a
minority owner, associated with num-
ber of shady fellows from whom his in
stinct told him fair play could not be
expected. Thoroughly dissatisfied with
the deal and incensed at the deception
practiced upon him by man he had so
many times befriended, he sought him
out and demanded an explanation.
Il thought you told me l was in on the
& 'ound floor in that transaction" shouted
Tabor.
"Well, you were, Horace" replied Bill,
with grin. "You were in on the ground
floor, just as I told you-but there was a
cellar to it"-Denver Times:

The tournament held at Santa Monica
last week by the Southern California
Lawn Tennis Association was, in many
respects, the most successful affair of
the kind held for q number of years
This is true not only as to the quality
Of tennis played, but also as regards the
attendance at the games and the con-
duct of the many matches.
Speaking individually, not so much
really good TEMPS was shown at the
recent tournament as in some former
years Out of the general run there
are four players who show head and
shoulders above the rest. They are
Lewis Freeman, oliver S. Picher, j. C.
Cravens and Arthur Bumiller. or
these, Bumiller is perhaps the best
known. His game can best be describ-
ed by the word meat" though as he ap-
peared in the recent tournament he
lacks speed. His placing is marvelously
accurate, and his game is as tricky as it
Is possible to be. Lack Of practice most
certainly accounted for his early de-
feat
John c. Cravens, the ex-Yale player,
was really the surprise Of the year. His
total reversal Of form later on in the
tournament was as unexpected asst was
sudden. Cravens Is an adept at pass
ing a man at the net. placing with
speed and accuracy, and lobs decidedly
well. His stroke, though not drive,
has plenty of speed. His weakest
point is his back hand.
o. S. Picher of Pasadena and Stan
\ ford University is at present the
most dangerous rival that Freeman has
At his best, Picher plays game that
cannot be equaled in this part of the
state, but is liable to sudden changes in
form. He possesses drive like can
non ball on the rampage, and his back
hand playing is almost equally fast.
When in his proper form, Picher is a
cool, brainy player, using all of his op-
ponent's court, and snply wearing his
man out. Lack of steadiness is Pichers
great fault.
Lewis Freeman, the big Stanford ath-
lete, is the last of the quartet. Free
mans game cannot be compared to that
of any other man, simply because no
other is steadily equal to it. Phys
ically. Freeman Is an ideal tennis
player, and he uses his physical ad
vantages in the very best way. Free
mans game is not noticeable for any
great brilliancy, but his absolute steadi-
ness at all times is infinitely better. No
return is too hard for him to try at, and
his great reach enables him to cover
more court than would be possible for
shorter man. If present indications
are to be accepted he may hold the
championship for an indefinite number
of years.
