RAILROAD IN THE NORTH
Company Incorporated to Build
From Upton to Fall
River.
Another Indication of Growing Conf
dence Felt in California's
Resources

Articles Of Incorporation of the McCloud
River Railroad Company have been filed.
1t is proposed to construct standard
gauge railroad from a junction with the
Southern Pacific Railroad tracks at Upton,
near Sisson, to the town of Fail River,
Shasta County, near the confluence of the
Pitt and Fall rivers, distance of sixty
mi lies.
The capital stock is fixed at 81. 2OO. 900
of which $4,000 has been actually SUBJ
scribed and $500 has been paid to the
treasurer of the corporation. The incor-
porators are William E. Brown, William
w. Van Arsdale. Daniel w. Earl, J. Dali
Zell Brown and George w. Scott, each of
whom has subscribed for $13, 200 worth of
stock.
The men interested are all we'll known
and substantial citizens and their course
in paving so much cash into the hands of
the treasurer seems to indicate that they
mean business.
Persons acquainted with the territory
to be traversed by the proposed road de-
clare that it is rich in timber and miner
ais. A provision is inserted in the articles
OF incorporation empowering the compan
to construct electric railway lines as feed :
ers and to maintain electric plants for
lighting and heating purposes.

ALL ABOUT A DOG SHOW.
Questions That Members of the Pa
cific Kennel Club VIII
Answer.

The committee which was appointed at
a recent meeting of the Pacific Kennel
Club to visit the mem bers and procure
their views relative to continuation of
the club or dis bandment visited several of
the clubs representatives yesterday, and
the following questions were asked: Shall
the club disband2 Second - Shall the
money in the treasury be held in trust or
deposited as guarantee fund for the hold
ing of a show this year by the OlympI
Gun CIub2 Third-Shall the money be
distributed to such charitable institutions
as the officers of the club may decide upon
at their next meeting, which will be next
Tuesday EVENING"
One of the committee said last evening
that the. memb mbers he had seen were in
favor of depositing the money as guar
antee fund for the holding of a show by
the Olympic Gun Club.
The Olympic Gun Club will certainly
decide on Wednesday evening whether it
will give a show this year or net. Should
the Pacific Kennel Club conclude to dis
band it is safe to say that dog show will
be held in this City next May.

Officer Conroy, speaking OF the dis
patch in the evening papers TO the effect
that the body of Lesagh, the third victim
OF Butler, had been found, said that the

that more bodies, buried by the MUIR

In June, 1896, the committee renomi-
mated MIR. sherman 20 his old position,
and he was unanimously reelected first
assistant in the English and scientific de-
partment OF the High school.

mittee has had under consideration the

Co be graded into three classes according

ment TO bo his first assistant. The effect
Of this reorganization upon the salary OF
Mr.. Sherman wns considered at some
length. IL wns again unanimously agreed
by the committee and tho superintendent
that there was no call for more than one
first assistant In each high school, and
that the sum OF $500 was sufficient
amount topaz to anv teacher not clothed
with the responsibility of principal or
vico- o-principal.
