When the appropriation for the new capitol building was made there was no doubt that it would be built. None of the subsequent successive steps, such as the sale of the bonds, the adoption and the advertisement for bids for con- struction have made it any more sure, yet each has brought a closer realiza- tion of it's completion. Even the com paratively unimportant incident of the recent visit of the capitol site com mission to the northern part of the territory to select stone for it is recog- nized as one more step toward the goal. Each of these successive steps has had a marked influence upon the value of property in Capitol addition which has been steadily rising since the last doubt regarding the new building was removed.

sonable in their praise of him, and moth
ing in the town was too good. This was
during that period when Donlin paid more
attention to his position than to outside
pleasures. But success is intoxicating,
so l have heard, and exceptions to the
rule are few. Donlin, unable to live
through the adulation of his admirers and
the success which attended his every at
tempt in the pitchers box, became in
f1ated with the idea that he could run the
town of Watsonville, and DO as ne pleased
in baseball way. Now the people of that
little town are a quiet set, and the man

disposition. However, there is limit
even with the quiet folks. Doniin, while
q good pitcher, was simply going too far.
On the field he wished to run everything.
If a player was unfortunate enough to
make an error, which every player must
do occasionally, be he star or not, am
off then and there. In the town at night
when every one was sleeping, Donlin would
cut loose. He was the star player, and
who would dare reprmand him? For d
while he did have full sway, but one
sunny morn, not many days past, the
great Donlin was released. Had such a
fore, riot might have ensued. But the
once great Donlin' has swelled, so the
story goes, to such an extent that even
his most ardent admirers IN the town or

Being released for possessing "swelled

not be a case of one man being the supe-
