FIRE NEAR WALNUT GROVE.
Six Hundred Acres of Pasture
Land Burned Over.

WALNUT CREEK, July 19.-Until a
late hour last night citizens and en-
pIoyes of the OakwoOd stock farm,
owned by J. 7. Boyd at Danville, were
lighting fire. Pasture land of about
600 acres was burned, but the build
ings were saved.
There was at one time great danger
that this grand place would be de-
stroyed John Walker, who owns the
land below Mount Diablo, suffered the
loss of many hundreds of acres of pas
ture and fence.
The fire originated at Pine Canyon,
where there are many campers who
are careless. The Mountain House was
burned several years ago, and only a
few worthless buildings remained there.
The fire is now diminishing rapidly,
only burning toward the back hills.
Very little can be seen from this place
now.

A Great Celebration To Begin at
Utah's Capital To-Day.
Streets of the Mormon City Already Crowd
ed With Visitors.
A Long Standing Feud Between
Two Ranchers in Squaw Valley,
Fresno County, Results in One
of Them Being Assaulted and
Probably Fatally Injured.

SALT LAKE, July 19.-The pioneer
jubilee will be ushered in tomorrow
morning and for the remainder of the
week will be witnessed one of the great
est celebrations ever seen in this
mountain country.
Visitors have been pouring into the
city all day, and tonight the streets
are crowded with people. The Oregon
Short Line Railway brought in crowded
trains from the southern part of the
State during the past twenty-four
hours, and the same road ran special
trains from the north to accommodate
the large traffic coming from Idaho and
Montana points. Other roads centering
here have also been carrying heavy
trains, and by tomorrow morning it is
expected that the number of people in
this city will exceed anything ever
known in its history.
All the buildings along the principal
streets have been decorated richly in
many colors. Tonight Main street,
from the Temple to Third street, is al
most a solid blaze of electric lights,
hung in beautiful design from one side
of the street to the other
An extensive programme has been ar
ranged for the four days entertainment
The exercises for tomorrow begin with
national salute at sunrise by the sur
v4Vors of the Nauvoo Legion. At s
o'clock salute will be given by bat
terry A, National Guard of Utah At 9
O'Clock the pioneers will assemble
in old Fort Square and march to Main
and South Temple streets, where the
monument in honor of Brigham Young
and the pioneers will be unveiled.
OF the 1000 pioneers who entered Salt
Lake Valley in 1916, there are only $50
survivors. These survivors have each
been presented with gold badge val
ued at $40, the work of Tiffany & Co,
New York. The badge presents typical
figures in the early history of Utah, and
including an accurate medallion por-
trait of President Brigham Young.

THE GRAPE CROP SUFFERS.
Two-Thirds of the Yield in San
Joaouiu County DESTROYED.

STOCKTON, July 19.-It is estimated
that two-thirds of the grape yield OF
the county has been destroyed by the
hot weather, and more particularly the
hot winds of the last week. The Tokay
varieties are the heaviest sufferers, and
the grapes, which looked very promis-
ing a few days ago. are now shriveled.
On several vineyards the grape hop
per is playing havoc with the crop. The
insect is more numerous than ever
known before. All the fruit in the
county is more or less damaged by the
warm wind, but in addition to grapes,
apricots and plums are the most badly
damaged.

served for Californian enterprise and
ingenuity to solve this problem also.
Certainly the prize of success is very
tempting. If Californian peaches, as
good as those we are getting in New
York, could be marketed in London,
they would readily command from five
to ten times the American price. After
what the Californian growers have al
ready accomplished. there is no reason
why they should despair of attaining
this crOMning success.
