THE FOLSOM ROAD.

It has been shown that at the out
side the proposed Folsom model road
will cost S125, ,000. OF this the State
pays, in the material furnished. 40 per
cent, which is $4,000 BY the adop-
ton of the plan, therefore, the people
of Sacramento will get the model road
at three-fifths of its cost. In addition
TO this, the maintenance of the road
being assumed by the State, relieves the
people of a very large item of cost
1t has been objected that the road
is not on the most important route
in the county, and on that ground the
people of the east side of the county are
asked to vote against the proposition.
But that is the weakest and least SEN
sible Of all objections raised. We are
not chocsers in this case. The State
advantage. If we are to say to the
State that we will accept if the route is
changed, 1t will be the equivalent of
rejection, for no such offer will be
renewed to us.
But he route chosen is a most i'm
por.ant one, being on the direct line
with the El Dorado traffic and the
whole country to the northeast; but
not all roads needed can be built at
once; not all routes can be laid out to
please all interests.
If the people vote for this road it
means the beginning of the good road
construction era in California, and
Sacramento will enjoy the material ad-
vantage of being the pioneer territory.
Her road will be the model for all
other roads. We will have drawn to US
attention that will result in peopling
our county more densely, augmenting
the assessment values and decreasing
the general taxation.
The proposition before the people to-
day, and to be voted upon on Decem-
ber 4th, carries S15 100000 worth of
city property into the scheme to the aid
of the country districts in securing a
needed Improvement. In no other way
can the city contribute to country road
building. If it is willing to do such
a benefcent act, why under the sun
should any one object to her people
exercising the privilege.

THE YELLOW FEVER IN CALIFOR-
MA

Aship with three cases of yellow fever
on board has arrived in the harbor of
San Francisco. AT once the value of
having quarantine MANAGEMENT under
control of United States officials was
made manifest. With promptness wor-
thy of ali praise. these officials took
charge of the ship, at once placed her
in quarantine, attached her TO the fumi-
eating boat of the Government station,
fumigated her cabins and hold, cleansed
all the quarters, and otherwise acted
as sanitary science directs for the pre-
vention of the spread of the fever.
The patients have been removed to
quarantine hospitals, and two of them
are alrady convalescent. No fear should
be entertained of any spread Of the fever
here therefore Frost, sharp and heavy
has created a condition antagonistic to
any spread of the fever, and the action
of the Government officials has been so
thorough and prompt, that the disease
may be said to have been throttled and
put under complete control instantly.
It probably would have been different
had the city and State quarantine Off
GERS been in command. They have
neither the skill nor the means for such
promptitude nor for such radical appli-
cation of the measures needed in these
cases The Federal officers are not sub
ject 10 any political influences, they en-
tertain no fear of treading on toes; they
are responsible TO department that is
strict, exacting and severe in Furnishing

CHEERFULNESS.
Right Within Ourselves, its Birthplace.

Any day. wet or cold, hot or dry, is
pleasant to the thoroughly healthy man
or woman We, have within ourselves
the power to make our days cheerful or
disagreeable. We do not depend upon
the condition of the sky or atmosphere,
for when cne is perfectly poised. ply
slcaily ana mentally, the days go by as q
dream of comfort. whether they be dark
or sunny.
Our goal should be health Mental
health is a strong element to bring about
physical health, but i'll health can be,
and is, set up by the use of elements
contained in food and drink that do not
conform to the wants of nature
We are inclined to the use of narcotics
and stimulants for their temporary dead
ening or quickening of the nervous sys-
tenn and the heart, but these unnatural
things bring about serious conditions; for
instance. the pulse of the coffee drinker
or tobacco user. shows arrangement
teither little or great Of the heart. This
trouble is ordinarily coupled with stom-
ach and some other difficulties
The ones who see clearly the advan-
tage in business, home and society, of a
perfect condition of mental and physical
health. will not require urging to have
them abondon articles of food or drink
that prevent the accomplishment of the
desired end.
The leaving off of coffee for ten days and
the use of Postum Food Coffee in its stead
will demonstrate the value of the above
suggestion and the fact that Postum
furnishes brain and body with well select
ed food elements which go to rebuild the
daily disintegration. while at the samd
time, Postum furnishes a delicious bey1
erage il one be particular to know that
after boiling commences, 1t is allowed to
continue boiling fifteen minutes: This
is necessary to obtain the food elements
and the proper taste.
Postum is the only Cereal Coffee yet
discovered, with coffee taste, that is
pure and free from low grade coffee or
other drugs.

ANDRUS ISLAND ROAD.
The Levee Highway to be Leveled
and Made Passab1e.

William H. Goven appeared before
the Board of Supervisors yesterday and
eomplaiHsl that the levee road on An
drus Island has been thrown. up in
such manner in front of the Hensley
place that vehicles cannot go upon it,
and people have to drive through the
orchard. Several trees have been
ruined in consequence.
Mr.. Govan thought the Supervisors
should do something toward having the
top of the levee leveled off and made
passa BILE.
Chairman Jenkins said he supposed
the District Trustees have been piling
up earth on the old levee road as he
understood they are working a dredg.
er there.
Supervisor Curtis moved that the
Commissioner from that district be au-
thorized to have the top of the ievee
smoothed down so that the road will
be level.
The motion was carried.

DEVINE HAS ANOTHER FIT.
CAUSED BY A REFERENCE TO
PURE WATER.
A Specimen of His Literature Pre-
sented to the Trustees
Last Night.

There was a sad spectacle witnessed
in the City Trustees room last nighe'
the evidence of which is published pe-
low only that the picture should nave
been seen-and the chief actor heard
in order for one to fully appreciate the
ludicrousness of the scene.
1t was not unexpected, however, 1or
the Record Union truthfully forecast
the event the other day when 1t stated
that a reference to pure water WAS
sufficient to throw certain persons INTO
fits. Trustee Devine had his ut all
right, but these attacks are becoming
second nature to him now. He'll have
another before long-See If he doesr |.
The sight, the very thought of water
has just that effect on victims OF ny
drophobia. Mr. Devine may not have
the rabies. but his case looks alarming,
judging from his symptoms.
The stuff he presented to the board
for it's consideration would not deserve
the space required to print it, We're it
not that only a few persons were pres
ent, so it is given here in full, verbatim
ct literatim, in order that the public
may not be altogether deprived of the
opportunity to measure the mental
cdllDeI Ol d HAL WIZ d pO-
ton of the city in its governing body.
1t is worthy of remark right here
that the only other member of the
board who voted with the author OF
the-the-so-called resolution was
man who ran for Mayor at the late
city election and received the votes of
just 145 citizens out of total vote of
nearly 1000.

Resolved
That We, the Board of City Trustees,
the duly elected and chosen represent
atives of the property owners, taXpay-
ers, and people of this patient, long
suffering, bond shark, syndicate, and
grab al corporation, tax ridden City,
condemn in unmeasured terms the false
statements and vicious water pirates
inspired blasphemous misrepresenta-
tions descriptive of our water supply,
which the Daily Record Union de-
scribes as being filthy, nauseating,
oderiferous, sewer water. These false
statements are being published to the
whole world from time to time in the
face of the fact that the water supply
lists, chemists, and water experts whose
attention has of necessity been called
to investigate its quality and fitness for
the use of the human family and all
animal and vegetable life as we'll as for
all domestic purposes, have pronounced
| it to be absolutely pure and free from
all diseased germs and the possibility
of any human being ever becoming the
| victim of any contagious disease by
drinking this water. freely and also
| that it is purer and far superior to
| any quality of water ever presented to

Last night lady living in the vicin-
ity of Fifteenth and E streets, tele-
phoned the "Record-U Union" that the
water over that way was so bad they
could not use it.
What is the particular trouble with
it?" she was asked rs it muddy?"
'.Oh, no." was the response. TT is
clear enough, but it smells as if it
came from a sewer, instead of a water
pipe 1t is simply impossible to drink
it without danger of contracting ty-
phoid fever or diphtheria 1t is awfuli"
1t is useless to advise that this or
that be done, and to even suggest that
the city has suffered long enough from
this cause is enough to give some of
our intelligent and up-to-date officials
an epileptic fit

crushed before, and may be again. Time

obvious. We are increasing our coast

new and old with modern guns. OF the
new posts there will be between twen-
ty-five and thirty, and most of them
will be ready for occupancy before an
