PUEBLO.
Hastening lack to Colorado Springs
we took the train for Pueblo, the
Pittsburg of the West" II place Of
10000 inhabitants, located on the
Arkansas river with immense steel
and iron works and many large
smelling plants. We took time on
ly to see the Clark Magnetic Min
eral Springs. There is erected over
it II large and elegant bath house
fitted up with all the latest improve
ments for bathing, which, with the
marvellous curative properties OF The
water and fine climate make it most
desirable place to tarry, but it it
again train time and in Il few min
utes we are again Oh the road, this
time to see the Royal Gorge and the
mountainous passage to Leadville.
First among its attractions are the
ROYAL GORGE HOT SPRINGS
at the mouth of the Grand Canon OF
the Arkansas, the virtues of which
were first generally made known
through an ANALYSIS by Prof. Leow,
chemist of the Wheeler Government
Exploring Expedition, n,'who said in
his official report: "Of all the min
eral waters of the West which have
analyzcd, find those of Conon City
are the best"
The Hot Springs Hotel issituated
at the site of the springs. Its very
appearance suggests comfort and
rest. 1t is provided with every va
riety ofbaths. A most inviting spot
if we decide to refresh ourselves be-
fore entering the Royal Gorge, that
awful testimonial of Natures force
which awes the beholdcr and is ever
remembered. Ten minutes from Ca
non City and we are in the Royal
Gorge, whose walls rise perpendicu-
larly for over half a mile from
the river bed. Words are weak to
depict the grandeur of the next eight
miles. The voice is hushed in con-
temptation of the mighty forces that
created this enduring wonder of the
Western Hemisphere.
About $3.50 o'clock, Sunday evel-
ing we reached
LEADvn.LE,
the highest city IN the world. 1t
has often been called the city above
| the clouds as it is two miles above
the sea level.
The great carbonate camp is one
of the most interesting cities in the
world to the tourist. 1t abounds ih
scenes of Il novel and characteristic
nature and presents views of life EN-
tirely foreign to the conventional.

Next Monday evening the question of
augmenting the cost of the county gov
eminent will be considered by the Alamo
da legislative delegation in the Capitol
building.
Last night the delegation held eau
Gus and decided to send notice to the
Alameda County officials and all who may
be interested in the matter TO attend a
meeting in room IA of the Capitol build
ing next Monday evening. The legislators
have set aside this time so as to hear ar
guments for and against the employment
of more deputies.
Much comment is now being made upon
the fact that all the county officials who
took office couple of weeks ago We're
elected with the full knowledge that the
new county government act went into
force on January 1 of this year. Only two
years ago the Alameda County officials
went to Sacramento and were largely in
strumental in the framing of the new act
Now it is declared that its operation will
work a hardship on several of the de-
partments and that more help is required.
While there Is no doubt that the gen.
eral spirit of the legislators is in accord
ance with the practice of economy, it is
probable that some of the departments
may be granted an extra deputy, al
though there is hardly an official who will
not strive to add to the cost of his de-
partment.
The County Auditors office it is con-
ceded needs one more deputy than Is
given to it under the act. This is proved
by the fact that ex-Auditor Whidden al
ways attended personally to the duties of
his office and found it necessary to have
two or three deputies, which he had to
pay out of his appropriation. 1t is a
pretty good argument that no official
would employ more help than is absolute
ly necessary when he could keep for him
self all of his appropriation that he was
not forced to pay out. The new act al
lows the Auditor but two deputies, and
another is necessary.
Another office which is not dealt fairly
with by the act is the Treasurer's Office.
Treasurers have always paid two depu-
ties while at the same time doing a full
mans work themselves. The new act al
lows but one deputy to the County Treas
urer and this is not enough. Outside of
these two exceptions there appears to be
no reason why any other changes should
be made in the county government act in
regard to counties of this class.
Already may of the county officials
have gone to Sacramento to commence
their work.

RENE WAL OF
ACTIVITY IN
CITY POLITICS
Was There a Slate in
the Convention?

CITIZENS CONVENTION MAY
NOMINATE KELLER.
Prospect of Some of the Retiring
Candidates Being Anxious
to Serve Another
Term.
REPUBLICANS APPRENTICESHIP
CITIZENS CONVENTION MAY
NOMINATE KELLER.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SJS Broadway, Jan H.
Now that the Republican committee
has held its convention and has nomina-
ted practically the same ticket as the
Municipal League there is renewed ac-
tivity in the movement to hold a citizens
convention. At the Republican conven-
ton last night an attempt had been made
TO bring the veterans into line by ap-
pointing Colonel NV. Hoguet, commander
OF the Army and Navy League, a dele
gate. but as Colonel Hoguet had already
gone on record as fayoring primaries he
declined to serve.
There are many Republicans who con-
slider that they are entitled TO recognition
from the ~artv who declined to go before
the Republican convention on the ground
that everything was slated, and that the
appointment of delegates by. the com
mittee was the same in principle as the
appointment of candidates.
This idea was partly borne out by the
rapidly with which nominations were
rushed through there being but one can
didate for each of the city offices. This
has brought out the old cry of SLATE"
and it is emphasized by the fact that the
Municipal League and the Republican City
Central Committee should produce prac-
tiCally the same ticket.
The Citizens convention. or whatever
II may be called. will undoubtedly pro-
duce, some lively campaigning. Its nom
inee for Mayor will probably be NJ. J.
Keller, whose friends have been making
a quiet campaign for several weeks. 1t
was expected that Mr.. Keller's name
would have been presented to the conven-
ton last night. but it was very evident
that Mr.. Snow was the nominee of the
convention, and beyond mentioning Mr..
Shows name no one even attempting to
make a speech in his behalf.
II is not to be supposed that many Of
the retiring Councilmen will desire another
term. Major Woodward has already an
nounced his candidacy and has obtained
the support of the Lakeside Improvement
Cuban aggregation of wealthy men who
for 11.ar -rrr efrT in
city TO purify Lake Merritt.
Councilman Will B. Pringle is not a
candidate for reelection. He could have
pal League and Republicans had he de-
sired. But the appointment of his father
to a Supreme Court Commissionership
will largely increase the legal work of
the Councilman and so he withdrew from
both tickets

TO TRANSPORT HOME
THE GALLANT FIRST
A CITIZENS MEMORIAL TO THE
PRESIDENT.
Copies of the Petition Will Be Posted
at Different Places in the City
for Signatures.

The general and widespreading desire
to relieve the soldiers of the First Regi-
ment of California Infantry, I. ). ",
from service and bring them home to be
mustered out eliminated in a public
meeting of citizens yesterday at the Russ
House. This gathering, which numbered
about 800 persons, was called to order by
Charles w. Moores. A warm interest was
manifested in the matter, and it was the
spirit of the meeting that the regiment
first in the field and first in the con-
quered city of Manila has performed it's
whole duty, and as troops mustered in
since the California citizen volunteers en-
listed are, being sent home, there is no
reason why the First Regiment of this
State should be kept on duty.
The following petition was adopted, and
copies, posted at EOS Market street,
business offices of The Call and of the
other daily city newspapers, where they
await the signatures of those who wish

REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 1.-THE Trus-
tees of Redwood City met in regular ses-
sion last night and took action in the mat
ter of installing an incandescent electric
light plant, to be run in conjunction with
the present municipal system of arc

view of the situation. decided that for
about $4,000 they could place an extra
dynamo at the water works and supply
the residents of the town with electric
lights in their places of business and in
residences. They will, in the near future,
call an election and submit the PROPOSE
ton to the voters of the municipality.
At the same time there will be submitted

Be Committed to an Asylum.
OAKLAND, Jan. H.-George John Nc
Comb, son of the late General McComb,
ex-Warden of Folsom Prison, was ex-
amined for insanity to-day and will again
be committed to an asylum.
About seven years ago and again in
1895 McComb was treated at Agnews for
mental infirmity. Last night he became
of Temescal half dressed At the Receiv-
ing Hospital it became necessary to strap
him down until he could barely move.
This morning, however, his frenzy sub
sided and he appeared quiet, answering
all questions intelligently.
McComb,. who is now SO years of age,
served as deputy under his father at Fol
som. He wrote a treatise on penology, of
which he made a deep study, and his
close application in that direction is sup
posed to be responsible for his present
mental infirmity
