Ohio ProhibItionI.ts.

Columbus, o., April s.--The chief fea-
ture of the platform adopted by the
state prohibition convention was the
Endorsement of woman suffrage. This
Is in the nature of an olive branch TO
the nationals and is slight departure
from the Pittsburgh platform of last
year, in which prohibition was made
the single issue and the split occurred,
resulting in placing OF two presidential
tickets in the field. The nationals have
claimed that they left more on account
OF the defeat of woman suffrage than
the silver issue, and the action OF the
state convention is therefore IN the line
of reconciliation.

FEASIBLE PLAN.
Highway Commissioners Inspect a
Proposed Mountain Road.

The Board of Supervisors of Stanislaus
are contemplating the building of a
wagon road across the range of noun
tains which separates the Santa Clara
and San Joaquin Valleys, and in order
to get an intelligent idea of the prac-
ticability of the scheme they have in
vited the State Highway Commissioners
to visit and travel over the route of the
proposed road and report on the feast
bility of the proposition.
The trip was made during the latter
part of last week, and the Commission
ers have returned. They report that
but twenty-five miles of road between
the Mount Hamilton Observatory and
the town of Newman, in the San Joa-
quin Valley, remains to be constructed
to unite the two valleys, and that four
teen miles of the distance will be an
easy problem to solve.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Commissioner Price said that in his
opinion the building of the proposed
road was entirely feasible, and thai
while eight miles would have to be built
through rocky canyons and gorges, time
and patience, with a moderate eXpen-
diture of funds, would give San Jose di-
rect wagon road communication with
not only the San Joaquin but the Yo-
semitic Valley
