SAN JOSE, Dec. There will be more
than the usual number OF interesting
cases for the next Grand Jury of Santa

will be case of fragrant felony, which the
last Grand Jury ignored, though it was
called TO the attention of one of the mem

question did not involve any great amount
OF money, it yet showed one of the
methods by which, it is generally ad-
nlitted, the county has been system

Fight Was Won.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 6.-It can hardly
be said that the "smoke of battle" has
cleared away in speaking of the Folsom
boulevard victory. Those who opposed
the project were without arms and the
victors won without wasting ammunition.
Now that the fight has been won," said
Frank Miller, chairman Of the campaign
con- mi.tee, SIT might be of some interest
to tell OF the manner in which the cam
paign was conducted. In the first place
the campaign committee partitioned the
city into small districts and commences
operations with a canvass of these subdi-
visions. About two weeks ago we re-
ceived returns from $50 willing workers.
These returns showed us what we could
expect, and l must say they were fiatter-

we found in the neigh borhood of 100 per-
sons on the wrong side-an average of 10

ing election mailed to him and which bore

resuit-iarger purchases for consumpIion-cannot
be long delayed. In some branches it is felt al
rei dy. There Is larger distribution Of finished
products and the demand for commercial loans
has sharply increased, especially in dry goods and
the iron and steel branches.
The progress of the iron and steel industry is
hindered by uncertainty regarding the cost Of
