GRAIN AND GRASS
 IN YOLO COUNTY.
Pasturage and Crops Doing We'll and
 Fruit Has Suffered but

WOODLAND, March S.-Thirty-two car loads of cattle and sheep have arrived in Capay Valley They were shipped from Oceano, San Luis Obispo County, on ac- count of short grass and are the property of E. Wieman. They will be pastured on the Pace & Cramer range, near Gulnda and Rumsey.
 The first estimates of the loss of fruit in Capay Valley on account of frosts were no doubt exaggerated. A Call rep- resentative made a trip through the val ley this week. The damage has been con- siderable, but not so great as was sus tained in other portions of the State. In the northern portion of the valley the orchards will yield nearly full crops, even of apricots. In some orchards the worst that the frost did was to save the owners the labor of thinning out the fruit on the trees In other portions of the valley the apricots and early peaches have suffered badly but there will be good crops of all other and later fruits, especially prunes. Nor are the grain crops in the valley suf- fering as in other parts of the county. With the usual spring showers large number of the grain fields will yield fairly we'll Any section that can come out of this exceptionally trying and dis astrous season with fair crops of either grain or fruit certainly demonstrates Its superior advantages.

difference between these two men is that Martin will stand in''e with the boss for the patronage that will go to the Lions, while Cook will stand in" simply for the emoluments of office that will falls to him. Part of Cooks obligation to the boss for the latter's indorsement and support will be the patronage of the Clerks office. The gang" will be again allowed to name at least three of the Clerks five depu- ties, and the Clerks office will continue to be as expensive as it has been of late.

 OF REFORMING "Jirn" /" Rea Attends an Honest Political Gath
 ering. Visits New Charter Club Meeting and Hears Himself
 Denounced.
Evils of Boss Rule Discussed Before the Man Responsible for
 Them.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, April 8.-"Jim" Req, at- tended by a son of Charles J. Martin, the gang candidate for Mayor, and a clerk of L. Lion, attended the tent meeting of the New Charter Club to- night, at the corner of Seventh and San Salvador streets, and was given an ob- ject lesson in decent politices. The tent was crowded to its utmost capac- ity, and the boss stood up just back of the last row of seats. Throughout the meeting he displayed a state of ner- vous uneasiness which was easily measured, by those who know his pecu- liarities, by the amount of fine cut" he consumed He was the exposure of all eyes. Every reference to him and his men and methods met with the widest applause, and the speakers were not at all chary of expressing themselves in unmistakable terms.
 s. E. Smith, the candidate of the New Charter Club for Mayor, was chair man. He said that Monday would de- eide whether the city government was to remain in the hands of the machine or was to be placed under control of the friends of the new charter. He pre- dicted a sweeping victory all along the line by handsome majorities.
 w. E. Crossman, candidate for Coun- cilman of the First Ward, said that it was his firm belief that at the election on Monday every precinct in the city would give majority for the New Charter Club ticket from top to bottom
 F. B. Brown remarked that he did not expect to be able to convert any ''thoroughbred' or any one upon whom the gang" had strings even if they attended the campaign meetings of the Charter Club, but he did hope to con- vert to the principles of good govern ment every sensible and right-minded voter.
 o. o. Felkner said that he noticed that "the head of that corrupt gang was present; "but l am not afraid Of him. he continued, and l shall say plainly what is in my mind"
 He then paid his compliments to the boss. his henchmen and the evils they have brought upon San Jose. In con- clusion he advised the people to vote against poodle and misrule.
 I. M. Allen, the Charter Club candi- date for city clerk, reviewed the situa- ton and declared that if he were elected the people could rest assured that no boss no ring nor anybody else would control him.
 w. G. Alexander, one of the candi- dates for membership on the Appoint ing board, made a plea in behalf of good government, which would come, he declared. only by the election of the New Charter Club candidates.
 Colonel w. B. Hardy asserted that If the New Charter Club ticket was elect ed the doors between the Council cham

 PANAMA, April S.-After nearly months work inspecting the Panama canal the International Commission sailed to-day for Europe. via New York. on the steamer Allianca. On the report of this commission depends largely the future of the Panama Canal project. There is good reason to believe that the commission was favorably impressed with what it's members saw. The present economical system, in wide contrast to the reckless extravaganza of previous administrations. particularly attracted the attention of the commission.
