ROAD into YOSEMITE VALLEY
1T rs FAVORED BY THE YosEM-
ITE COMMISSIONERS.
Xhey and the State Highway Com
m1ssioners Will Recommend It
to the Government.

State Highway Commissioner John
n Price arrived in the city from San
francisco yesterday morning, and left
curing the afternoon for the southern
part Of the State, where meetings in
the interest of good roads will be held.
While in San Francisco Commission
ers Price and Ashe met u committee
from the Yosemite Valley Commission
erS TO discuss the advisabiity of rec
ommending the construction by the
Federal Government of a modern, up
to-date wagon road from the confines
of the National Park into the Yosemite
Valley proper.
In speaking of the conference yester-
day Commissioner Price said it had
covered a wide range, and that the
subject of a good road or roads into
the valley had been discussed from eV-
cry point of view The Yosemite Com
missioners, he said, urged that the
General Government be requested 10
purchase and repair the several roads
now leading into the valley, but on
this point himself and Commissioner
Ashe took issue They declined to be-
come parties to such a recommends
ton, maintaining that none of the
roads now leading into the valley were
built upon surveyed grades, and that
in many places they are so steep as to
make travel difficult even in the best
season of the year.
The Highway Commissioners further
opposed the purchase of the roads, be-
cause they were not Of regulation width
and because they were all out of repair,
and insisted that to macadamize roads
on such grades would be simply a
waste Of funds.
1t is the aim of the State Highway
Commission, said Mr.. Price, to rec
ommend only stable and permanent
improvements on all roads. and with
that point in view they urged that the
Federal Government by urged to con-
struct a road or roads leading into the
valley on easy grades. which shall be
surveyed by Government engineers,
and to this the Yosemite Commission
ers finally agreed.
The question as to the route to be
recommended also called for consider
able discussion, but on this point the
Highway Commissioners We're not per
sistent. They desired only to see
good. broad, modern highway con-
structed, on easy grades, so as to make
the wonders of the valley accessible 10
all who desired to visit it, but as TO
the point of entrance, or the proposed
route. they had little choice.
Commissioner Price explained that
an easy grade might be had by as
cending the Tuolumne River number
of miles and then crossing the divide
into the Merced River Valley, and also
that an excellent and perfect grade
might be had by ascending the Merced
River from the boundary of the park
to the Yosemite
After considerable discussion the
sense of the meeting was found to be
that the Merced River route was the
proper and most practicable one, and
it was decided to so recommend to the
Federal Government by petition or
otherwise

of Washington, across the river
The clouds which produced this show

tween this city and Folsom consider

New orleans, La, April ID, W.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
Dear Sir = Gen. j. B. Gordon,
commanding United Confederate
Veterans, respectfully requests the
press, both daily and weekly, of the
whole country to aid the patriotic
and benevolent objects of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans by pub
fishing the date their Reunion is
to take place at Nashville, Tenn,
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, June 22d, 23d and Oath, 1897,
by publication of this letter, with
editorial notice.
It will be the largest and most
important y. q. V. Reunion ever
held. The personnel of the Nash
vile Reunion Committee, under
the leadership of its chairman, Col.
J. B. OBryan, is a guarantee that
everything will be done for the
comfort and convenience of the
old Veterans aud all visitors which
is in the power of man. It is q
splendid body of very able and dis
tinguished Comrades, who are fully
alive to the magnitude of the work
entrusted to them, in caring for
their old Comrades, and it will be
their pride to make it the most
memorable Reunion upon record;
and the citizens of Nashville are
aglow with enthusiasm and patri-
otism at the prospect of dispensing
their famed hospitality to the sur
viving heroes of the Lost Cause.
Ex-Confederate soldiers and sal
lors everywhere are urged to form
local associations and send appli-
cations to these Headquarters for
papers to organize Camps immedi-
ately, so as to be in time to partlci-
pate in the great Reunion at Nash
vile, and to thus unite with their
comrades in carrying out the laud-
able and philanthropic objects Of
the organization; as only Veterans
who belong to organized U. c. v.
Camps can participate in the bust
ness meeting at Nashville.
Business of the greatest impor-
lance to the survivors of the South
ern Army will demand careful con-
sideration during the session of the
7th Annual Convention at Nash
vile. Such as the best methods of
securing impartial history, and to
enlist each State in the compila-
ton and preservation of the histo-
