WORKING TOR BETTER ROADS.
Highway Commissioner ManSOn'S Recent
Journey.
Plenty of Good Material in Southern
Counties for Road Con-
struCtion.

Marsden Manson, Chairman Of the
Bureau Of Highways, has returned from
a trip through the southern part of the
State, where he had been speaking at
Farmers Institutes on the question Of
good roads apd also making tour of the
highways in the winter time. During
his absence he has visited San Bern
ardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Santa
Barbara, San Luis Obispo and other
coast counties north to San Francisco.
Great interest was taken by the far
mers at their institutes on the question
of good roads, and the attendance every
where was large. The members present
were eager to learn all they could of
practical methods Of road-building.
During the greater part of his trip be
used stages and wagons, so as to see
for himself the condition of the roads in
the winter time. In the dryer counties
the roads were fairly good, but under
heavy rains there was no question but
they would be muddy and in many
places boggy.
In the coast counties of Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo the roads were wet
and very slick They are exposed to
heavy rains, and are located on wrong
lines, but could be so graded as to give
better drainage. In order to make this
drainage good it would be necessary to
build such substructions as bridges and
culverts of stone or concrete.
In Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa
Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties
there is magnificent road building ma
terial which could be worked and put
on the roads cheaply.
In Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
Counties there are deposits Of asphaltum
and bituminous rock of peculiar excel
lence. These confirmed the statement
he had made eighteen or twenty years
ago that California contained deposits of
road d-building material that could not be
excelled anywhere in the world, and
some of these deposits could not be
eqUaled.
Two Of the deposits of bituminous
rock are now being worked to advantage
and much of the product is being
shipped East. He examined deposits OF
the very finest kind of volcanic rock,
two Of bituminous rock and two OF bl-
tumen and asphaltum. All of these are
of the most excellent quality of road
material
At the meetings where Mr.. Manson
had spoken the farmers present spoke
about these deposits, which are sulll-
cient to supply the world for years and
his hearers were much interested and
asked many questions. He found that
these Farmers Institutes were excel
lent places at which TO learn the needs
Of q community and to suggest methods
of improving the roads. and he had
strong hopes. that the results would
soon be apparent in the better road
building of the State on a systematic
basis.
While away he had seventy miles OF
staging to do in the rain. Otherwise
his trip was delightful.
Yesterday Secretary M. z. Wolf LETT
for I.ivermore and Martinez to repre-
sent the bureau at Farmers Institutes
in those places. Mr.. Manson will at
tend a good road meeting in San Fran
cisco on Monday next, and attend
Farmers Institute at Watsonville on
February 9Th and 9th.

THE HOLIDAY IGNORED.
(Stockton Independent


The business men of Stockton as WEI.
as those of San Francisco pald 1ttie
attention to Hhe proclama lion of Gov
ernor Budd making Saturday
legal holiday, and the banks here and
in the metropolis very thoughtfully
transacted business as on other days.
The notice of the concession TO the san
Francisco newspaper that is using noll-
days and such things in its adVertls-
ing fakes came so late that the bank
ers and other business men could not
prepare for the disturbance that such
acts create and therefore they proceed
ed as is customary on Saturdays. VI
course the courts and public Ounces
were closed San Francisco business
men were simply astounded when they
read the act of the Governor and II
the banks had paid any attention TO
the demands of the "EXa miner" ana
the Governor business would nave Deen
naralyzed and thousands Of workmen
and mechanics would have gone TO
their homes without dollar. Tor the
manufacturers and other employers
cannot do business with the banks
closed unless they have ample Eotlce
of the folly. 1t is said that as much
as 50, 100000 is required from the San
Francisco banks every Saturday to
meet the weekly payroGs and on Mon
DAYS the clearances often run TO 81
GOO 600 The business of the city is
done with checks and it is necessary
to cash them to meet bills. so the
bankers wisely proceeded as if the Gov
ernor had not issued his proclamation
and trade was not checked for the
day. Aside from the cost to the people
of a useless holiday in the postpone
ments Of advertised events and The loss
in business the expense of the act OF
the Governor is large to the State, and
therefore to the people Notice of the
action of the Governor was sent by Wire
to every. county seat, for it is the duty
Of the authorities to send notice CT
such acts to the County Clerks that the
courts may not go on with their busl-
ress and do Illegal things In ada1-
ton to the expense Of telegraphing the

What the Leading Papers Say About

the alarming increase of pneumonia. the
death-rate showing an increase of over

the last few years. Doctor Gouverneur NJ
Smith, in an>article in the Medical Rec

vanced Of recent years in many directions,
80 far as pneumonia is concerned science
has shriveled." The New York sun
writing on this subject says: THE great

very alarming, especially as the disease
carries off so many in the fullness OF me

says: Considering the impending wealth

Upon It.

The Governor has proclaimed to-day
holiday, the proclamation being a sop
TO the gallery Do we not have enough
established holidays, without specially
appointed, Governor-made holidays,
rest days for salaried officers and high
priced employees? Few business men
can afford to close up to-day and pay
others to work, and laboring men can
not knock off and eat regularly unless
their wages go on. The holiday racket
is being made tiresome. If we thought
otherwise we would rest to-day and
issue no Sentinel tomorrow, but II
we do so we are afraid that our read
ers would feel that they were not get
ting what they paid for. Other people
are just like our readers, and as such
readers feel about their paper they feel
about whatever they pay for, but do
not get Something for nothing never
was popular with the people who nave

Governor Budd may have responded
TO a demand from the northern part OF
the State, in declaring to-day a legal
holiday to celebrate the defeat OF the
funding bill, but in doing so he made
play to the gallery which is disgusting
to sober minded people. The defeat OF
the funding bill may prove an unmlxed
blessing to the State, but there is diff
ference of opinion with reference to the
result, and in view Of this, 1t seems
nothing short Of folly to ask the people
of California to drop business fora day
and rejoice over the defeat OF the "oc-
topus."

Nm AMAZING LEGAL HOLIDAY.
That Californlans should be graft

probably unquestioned among persons
who have given the matter any thought
fll onsideration, for it seemed to be

Government claims by that bill was

But so may every State in the Union,

Budd. 1t disapproves of fixing Satur-
Gay as a national holiday, because II

is worth celebrating. The ''RepuoIlcail

action, but for an entirely different reA-

the people could and would have teeh

To-day is a legal holiday, but On

of the funding bill, but as no one

THIS LEGAL HOLIDAY

IINFI<I
About the silliest thing We have ever
known Governor Budd to do was the
issuance Of the proclamation declaring
this day to be d legal holiday through
out California, in celebration OF the de-
feat of the funding bill
AS a matter of fact, it yet remains to
be seen whether or not California will
be benefited by that action of Congress.
For a long time the most enthusiastic
opponent of 9he funding bin has been
the San Francisco Examiner a rich
and powerful newspaper, which has a
record that throws considerable doubt
round the sincerity of its present posi-

but that seems further off now than
ever, and as nothing short OF Ihal
would justify q State rejoicing ana
public holiday, the action OF the Gov
ernor is absolutely sily-too silly for d
common burlesque at the Tivoli. Gov
ernor Budd is usually not silly man,

Another fool holiday is saddled on the

1t seems as though a man who has fair

Crane has issued the following circu-
lar letter: Many questions relative to
school legislation have reached this
department since the adjournment of
legislature. The laws have not been
printed. AS soon as printed and cop
les can be obtained the superintendent
will, with the assistance of the best
legal talent in the state, prepare q
special circular Of explanation. The
school law does not become effective
until July.
The legislature made no provision
for printing the school laws and it is
therefore necessary to purchase the
the same from some publishing firm.
No opinion on any part of the new
law can be given by this department
until q copy can be obtained from the
printer. Please do not ask for it. II
is suggested to county superintendents
that all appeals be deferred until after
the law goes into effect.

H. ID. Clark, manager of the Evans
returned from his Omaha trip last
Monday. He had several interviews
with the railroad officials and is salts
fed that the roads will make an un-
usually cheap rate to Hot Springs this
season, and talk very encouragingly of
the outlook for the summer at this
place. They propose to do large
amount of advertising in newspapers
this year and by leafiets-instead of by
expensive illustrated pamphlets as
heretofore. They can no doubt reach
more people in this manner, and with
a cheap rate many people will no
doubt be induced to spend a large part
of the summer here. Nothing so in
duces people to go somewhere as
cheap railroad rates and as both
railroad companies have deter.
mined to do their best to fill up our
town this summer we may look for an in
pouring of health and pleasure seekers
before long. Mr.. Clark was much graft
fed with his conference with the off,
cials of the roads and proposes to do
his share to please the people who may
come here by making the Evans second
