Batteries c and L, Third U. S.. Artillery, Preparing to Go
 Aboard the Para.

Batteries G and L of the Third United States Artillery, having been assigned to duty in the Philippines. have been ordered to be in readiness to embark on the City of Para by next Wednesday.
 An interesting event in the way of mili- tary attraction will be the guard mount music at the Presidio this morning at 11:SO by the mounted band of the Fourth United States Cavalry Regiment.
 The Friday afternoon concert near the residence of the Presidio post command, ant lieutenant Colonel Morris, attracted quite a large audience.
 If is now believed that the troops of the Fourth Cavalry, which have been ordered to join the Philippine expeditionary forces. will not move from the Presidio until they go on board ship.
 Troop G of the Fourth Cavalry arrived in San Francisco from Walla Walla at a late hour last night.

WATER FOR YoUNTvILLE.
The Hand Pump and Windmill Will
 Soon Be Things of the Past.

The handpump and windmills in Yount- vile will soon be things of the past, as that neat little township will have an abundant water supply before many months. The Supervisors of Napa County have just granted franchise to J. K. Prior of this city for the purpose of run- ming mains along the county road and through the streets of Yountville from his 40 .000-g gallon reservoir which stands about 5000 yards from the site of the town. Tn addition to this, the Supervisors have en- tered into contracts with ten parties to sprinkle the county road from Napa to Calistoga, the distance being subdivided into ten sections Prior obtained one of the sections-that near Yountville, where he has an abundant water supply to fur nish the entire road sprinkling, besides the supplying of the township with what may be necessary.

H. L. Barnes, General N. P. Chipman General B. s. Solomon, Judge H. c. Dibble, Colo mel W. R. Smedberg and others, among whom were several officers and enlisted men from Camp Merritt. Eight long ta- b!es were filled with an abundance of edibles of all kinds donated by the gener- ous merchants of San Francisco. It was a very inviting spread and was appre- ciated by the guests. The Firemen's band was in attendance and discoursed patri- otic music at frequent intervals through out the evening.

English, and Mr.. Franklin is an
American. Let each one propose a
toast" 1t was agreed to and the
Englishman's turn came first. He
arose and in the tone of Briton
bold said: "Here's to Great Britain,
the sun that gives light to all ma
tions of the earth The Frenchman
was rather taken back at this, but
he proposed; Here's to France,
the moon of whose magic rays
moves the tides of the world"
Franklin then arose, with an air Of
quaint modesty, and said: Here's
to George Washington, the Joshua
of America, who commanded the
sun and moon to stand still--and
they obeyed."

Alviro Evans passed through here
last Monday evening on the c. q G.
with three carloads of hogs which
he picked up in Mason Valley and
is shipping to Nebraska. This seems
to be quite distance to ship hogs
to market, or even cattle, but Mr..
Evans says he makes it pay. The
charges on carload of hogs from
Reno to Omaha are $155, and it
costs about 500 per car to get the
animals to Reno. Mr.. Evans has
shipped a great many cattle to Ne
braska and he is shipping the hogs
to go along with the cattle. The
point shipped to is about 100 miles
from Omaha. Corn is fed to the
steers to fatten them and the hogs
are placed behind the cattle, and it
is claimed that by the time the steer
is ready for market 300 pounds of
pork will be gained from the one
steer. When the market is right
both beef and pork are shipped on
foot to Omaha, and by having the
stock near to market and always in
good condition the advantage can
be taken of market prices. Mr..
Evans, it is said, has added about
$4,000 to his wealth during the
past year i'm this business.
