STATE HIGHWAYS.
Some the Legislature VIII be Ask
ed to Provide For.

Governor Budd has of late received
several communications from persons
who own property in the vicinity OF
Lake Tahoe petitioning him to use his
influence to secure the construction of
a wagon road along the western shore
of the lake, to connect with the roads
running north to the Mount Shasta
country, and south along and on the
eastern side of the summit, and finally
entering the San Joaquin Valley near
Bakersfield.
The Governor referred the several
communications to the Department of
State Highways Highway Commis-
sioner Manson yesterday said to
Record Union" reporter that a road
fifteen miles in length along the west
shore of the lake would give a contin-
uous highway over and along the
mountains from the California line
north of Mount Shasta to the southern
end of the San Joaquin Valley, and
that in its report to the Legislature the
department will recommend that the
connecting link be constructed. The
Department of Highways will prepare
bill for the construction of the road.
The Highway Commissioners will
also present and urge the passage of a
bill for the construction of the nine
mile link between the Mono County
road and that on the western side of
the range leading to the Yosemite Val
ley, and for another road connecting
the country around Humboldt Bay
with the head Of navigation on the
Sacramento River. The latter con-
Meeting link would be only about
twenty miles in length

LIFE HAD LOST ITS CHARMS.
DESPONDENT EDWARD CAHILL
COMMITS SUICIDE.
His Body Found in the River Near
Oak Hall Yesterday
Morning.

Edward Cahill, a young man we'll
known in this city, committed suicide
a few miles down the river on Mon
day.
Early yesterday morning. while
Frank Cardoza was rowing his boat on
the river, near Oak Hall. or Lakeview,
he saw an abandoned skiff drifting idly
on the water. He approached and saw
nothing IN the sk1n except a number of
shotgun cartridges. The painter was
hanging into the water from the bow.
and supposing the boat had drifted
away from some hunter, Cardoza seized
the rope aiming to tow the skiff to
shore.
The rope seemed to have fouled with
snag, and it took hard work to drag
it to the surface. When it was finally
in, Cardoza was startled to find tied
to it the dead body of a young man.
The rope had been so tightly knotted
under the arms that it could not be
united
Cardoza and companion towed the
abandoned boat and their grewsome
find to the Yolo side of the river, and
then notified Coroner Clark.
The body was taken in charge by the
Yolo County authorities. 1t was iden-
titled as that of Edward Cahill. who
resided on G street, between Eleventh
and Twelfth, in this city, and who was
employed as a clerk in the shoe de-
partment Of store on ] street, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth.
The left side of the head. from the
ear back, had been literally blown off,
apparently by a charge of shot though
there was no evidence of powder marks
On Monday young Cahin rented a
shotgun and bought ammunition at the
store of Kimball & Upson. announcing
that he intended to go hunting.s He
secured skiff on the river front, and
was not again seen until his body was
found
1t was learned that Cahill had for
some time been respondent. and the
cares of life seemed to weigh heavily
upon him. Mr.. Harvey, the telephone
operator at Freeport, informed the
Record Union" that CahiIl was at that
place on Sunday last and thrice at
tempted to drown himself in the river.
but was rescued each time. He talked
wildly and despondently, and said that
he had lost one brother, that another
was sick in a hospital with consump-
ton, that his mother was dependent on
him, and that his troubles were more
than he could bear
Cahill was about 21 years of age and
well liked by his employers. He had
many friends in the city, and was held
in high esteem by them. From all the
circumstances it would seem that he
took his own life While in a fit of
dependency, or While temporarily in
sane.
