VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS.

ReedIey viii Be Reached About the
Middle of This Week.
By the middle of this week the Valley
road will have reached Reedley with its
tracks. The grading of this branch of its
line has already been completed to Visa
liza, and track laying to the latter point
will begin on Wednesday. 1t is expected
to reach Visalia about the middle OF
August.
Work on the big bridge across the ST.
johns River, just this side of Visalia, has
been commenced. 1t will take about ten
days to ''swing" this bridge.
On the Hanford branch all the grading
has been done to the boundary line be :
tween Tulare and Kern counties. Work
in Kern County Will not be commenced
until all the right of way is secured, This
cautious method of proceeding has bee n
adopted in view of the experience of the
company in some of the more northern
counties. Tracks have been laid for
twenty miles south of Hanford, and an
additional twenty miles has been graded.
There is now. therefore, only about forty
miles of unbroken ground this side OF
Bakersfield.
II there are no UNEXPECTED draw backs
the Valley road will get into Bakersfield
this fall. TIE Visalia and Hanford loops
Will come together about twenty miles
south of Hanford, at place that has been
named Joaquina.

as to the result, in consequence OF the
severity of the operation. Both sides Of
his neck had been affected by cancerous
growths, which had to certain extent
permeated the entire muscles, causing
swelling and pain.
The operation, which was searching ana
severe, lasted a long time, and, as mat
Ter of course, taxed the patient severely
He came through, however, all right. but
yet ;he danger was far from past, as a re-
action was liable to set in at any time
during the following forty-eight hours.
That period has now passed, and this TACT
has given the physicians and his many
friends hopes that his recovery will soon
follow His gain yesterday was OF such
character as to confirm these hopes.

GRAND COUNCILLORS.
The Young Mems Institute Celebration
at Santa Rosa.


at Santa Rosa.
The Young Mems Institute will hold its
thirteenth Grand Council at Santa Rosa
on Wednesday, August 18, 1897. 1t will
be composed of delegates from all the
subordinate councils of the Pacific juris-
diction of the institute. Matters of great
moment to the organization will be
brought up for discussion and an ex-
tremely busy session is anticipated.
During previous years it has been the
custom of the Y. M. l. to have a grand
parade and celebration at some time dur
ing the meeting of their Grand Council, in
which not only the delegates, but also
members of any subordinate council that
might be present, would participate.
This year the grand directors of the
Y. NJ. l., recognizing the proximity OF
Santa Rosa to San Francisco and the
practicabiity of taking nearly all of the
members of the institute from here to
participate in the celebration during the
meeting OF the Grand Council, appointed
g committee of prominent mem bers of the
Y. M. l. to confer with the board of man
agement of the San Francisco councils in
regard to the celebration.
The committees appointed met in joint
session with the board OF management t
last evening and resolved itself into a
committee OF arrangements for a grand
parade and celebration to be held at Santa
Rosa on Saturday. August q, 1897, the
concluding day OF the session OF the
Grand Council. Past President Frank ].
