The Mena star., 1899-06-15

It was such perfect night that the senorita strolled down to the beach with me before retiring, and I have Q hazy recollection of kissing her. Something of the sort, anyway, for she left her cool fingers in mine for half minute before she disappeared.
 This and her personal loveliness in the moonlight, came near to interfer- ing with my progress for upon reach ing my room took an easy chair out upon the balcony and smoked for over an hour, thinking of her. The windows of her room were diagonally opposite my own, across the patio; and fancied once or twice that could detect her figure among the shadows. After awhile, however, 1t struck me that if I were really going to do anything it was about time to get atit. So I opened the sea chest and took out the electric safe ty lantern, then silently made my way along the corridors and down to the room where the padres were snoring.

the election measures recommended for
perfecting the election system and
approved it"
The fact that the Governor had ar
rived from Sacramento and was at the
Palace aHotel was communicated early
yesterday morning to a large throng
of polite ians and at once there was
ca ger inquiry as to whether the chief
executive intended to sign measures
other than those reported in The Call
yesterday morning. Many persons in
terested in applications for official ia
vor sought for personal interviews with
the Governor, but he declined to re-
ceive cards or callers on patronage
business.
It is understood that he will take a
good rest in the south and when he
feels refreshed will proceed again to
Sacramento and take up the subject of
patronage distribution. Many Repub-
licans are kicking because Democrats
continue to hold desirable places under
a Republican administration, but the
dispenser of the spoils is not inclined to
make special haste to crafty the
clamorous.
Governor Gage, accompanied by his
wife and daughter, left the city last
evening on the "owl' train for Los An
geles During the afternoon he met
many Of the politicians and office-seek-
ers III the court OF the Palace, but the
meetings were open and informal.

So far as the signing of bills is con-
cerned the Governor finished his work
at Sacramento night before last. No
more bills will be signed. Appropria-
tions amounting in the aggregate to
81, SOC, 600 were involved in the unsigned
or pocketed bills.
Governor Gage was asked if he in
tended to sign bills other than those
approved up to the time that he left
Sacramento for this city and replied
that his work on bills was completed
and that no more would be signed.
II feel now" continued the Governor,
that I am entitled to a season of rest.

letters, kilograms or applications per-
tanning to official business until l re-
turn to Sacramento"
Governor Gage spoke his sentiments
freely on subjects connected with the
Stratton primary law, the Richard bill
and the Australian ballot. He re-
marked: 1T may be observed that I
signed all the bills relating to elections
that the Legislature passed. I am not
myself an advocate of the Australian
ballot system, and I cannot say that I
am favorably impressed with the STRAIT
ton primary law. According to my way
of thinking the best primary is the old
fashioned town meeting, where every
voter interested in nominating candi-
dates can get up and speak his senti-
ments. The Richard bill was among

Householders Rejoice
at the Prospect.
RAPID WORK PROMISED
CLAUS SPRECKELS IS DIRECTING
THE AFFAIRS.
He Is Convinced That the New Plant,
While Affording Relief to the
People, Will Prove a Fine
Business Investment.

The Incorporation of the Independent
Electric Light and Power Company
was the talk of the town yesterday
and special qualification was evinced
by householders who have been paying
excessive rates for very little light. The
idea that Claus Spreckels had decided
to establish a new and ample plant for
the generation of light and power in
order to even up on some corporations
is altogether erroneous. The plain fact
is that he is a man of affairs, whose
capital is ample and whose business af-
fairs are in such excellent shape that
he can give much Of his personal at
tention to the building up of new en-
terprise. His experience in conducting
a small plant and his knowledge de-
rived therefrom of the cost of produc-
ing electricity convince him that light
and power can be profitably afforded to
the people of San Francisco for very
much lower figure than is now charged
for these commodities.
The truth is that San Francisco for
many years has been paying two prices
for an Indifferent service in the man.
ner of lighting the streets and dwellings
of the city. 1t did not escape the keen
observation OIL a capable BUSINESS HAL
like Claus Spreckels that new inven-
tions and tested methods for the gen.
Grafton of light and power had mate
rally reduced the cost of producing
these necessities of modern life, and
having money for investment and de-
string to invest his money in home en-
terprises, he embarked in this project
to establish in San Francisco an extern
sive plant for the production of electric
light No doubt the investment will
prove highly remunerative to Mr..
Spreckels and his associates and at the
same time afford vast measure of re-
lief to the people of this city.
The promoters of the new enterprise
were busy yesterday with experts and
engineers and will be engaged for sew
eral DAYS in the work of inspecting and
discussing plans. The more the sub
ject is investigated the clearer becomes
the conviction that the field of invest
ment is one of the best.
Mr.. Spreckels is quite enthusiastic
and active in the new enterprise and
will surely display his customary ener-
gy and decision in pressing forward the
work of constructing the great plant.
AS the money required is ready to sec
ond his personal energy the people of
the city can be assured that the day Of
high prices and Indifferent light service
is vanishing.

Supervisor Holland, chairman Of the
Building Committee, and Supervisor Att
ridge of the Hospital Committee held a
conference yesterday regarding the Pest
house. They determined after discussing
the matter in it's various phases to visit
the institution Saturday. At that time
they will determine what the require
ments of the place are, which findings
they will report to the board on the fol-
lowing Monday.
Superintendent Thompson, who has had
charge of the construction of the Hall of
Justice, has been in consultation with the
committee having the matter In charge.
He has advised that all the buildings now
In use be destroyed by fire and a smaller
structure erected. The present ramshac-
kle affair is larger than need be for the
unfortunates quartered there and serves
only as the abiding place of disease
germs.
Mr.. Thompson believes a substantial
building. suitable for the needs of the af-
fiicted lepers, can be built at cost not
to exceed $1,000. This would give shelter
from the elements which the buildings
now in use do not pretend to do The
Supervisors have all entered heartily into
the humanitarian plan of relieving the
great distress of these wards of the mu-
nlclpanty and any measure proposed by
the gentlemen having the matter in
charge will be passed upon favorably and
without delay.
The publication of the facts as to con-
ditions as they exist out there on the
edge of the South San Francisco marsh
mas caused much comment and the evil
dent desire at the present time is to cor
rect the 'lapses of former ADMINISTRATIONS
with as little delay as possible, to the
end that the inmates be subjected to no
more suffering than is necessary.
