WHEAT STATIONS.
Official Wilson Established Seven in
San Joaquin Valley.

Local Forecast Official Wilson returned
yesterday from the San Joaquin Valley.
where for the past two weeks he has been
employed in establishing wheat stations
along the line of the Valley road Seven
stations were equipped with thermometers
and rain gauges, namely: Elmwood. Mer-
ced, La Grande, Lankersham, Hanford.
Reedley and Visalia. Mr.. Wilson in
tended to similarly equip stations at
Bakersfield Dewey and Angione, but the
shelters had not been prepared, so he left
the work to competent men and the three
places will be in operation in few days
cannot be overestimated, and the Weather
Bureau is deeply grateful to the Valley
road which has taken the matter in hand.
Reports will now be received daily re-
garding the prevailing weather conditions
in the various wheat sections during the
month of June and part of July, and the
knowledge will be found invaluable in
many quarters.
The local weather Office is in receipt Of
a Chronological record of Visalia which
has been kept by Dan Scowan, volun-
tary observer, since 1885, The record gives
complete data about the daily atmo-
spheric conditions in that section and in
cludes the noting of earthquakes, sand
and electric storms, besides the minimum
and maximum temperatures and the rain
fall for every day during the past eleven
years. The rainfall is always light in
Visalia, and varies from S.61 inches in 1899
to IA 10 inches in 1889 The highest aver
age temperature has been comparatively
uniform at about rs degrees and the low
est 4S degrees.

USURPATIoN OF POWER.

The Call: I am glad that some of the
teachers and parents are speaking out
against the folly and in justice of school
examinations That system never had
the support of good thinkers and is now
entirely behind the times. Scholars should
be promoted whenever their teachers
think them fit, and in many cases
even when they have not done even pass
ably well in study it is better for them
to go on to something else. believe
parents have the authority to order their
children advanced and also to order any
study dropped. But assuredly when par
ents and teacher agree, no Board of Ed
ucation or other power ought to interfere,
and l do not believe have any legal pow
er to do so. I hope to see fight made
by parents to curb the selfish pretentions
of Boards of Education and others. They
do it selfishly to increase their power and
Importance 1t is common practice for
Boards Of Education to spend many days
Cat S. per day. making lists of questions
for examination of pupils, and other days
(also at 50 per day) looking over the pu-
pills answers. All of which is without
any authority of law and is plain swim
die on the public Treasury, as reading
of section III, School Law, will show.
That section defines the powers of County
Boards of Education, but neither there
nor any where is any power given them
to usurp the functions of teachers and
parents in the matter Of pupils, examina-
lions. Respectfully, w. s; PROSSER,

on This Coast.
PLANS NOW BEING PREPARED
1T WILL BE MADE TO ACCOMMO-
DATE THE LARGEST VESSELS.

The drydock Of the California Drydock
Company at Hunters Point is to be en-
larged at a great expense. Such is the
intention of the directors of the company
and at present engineers are at work upon
the necessary plans. 1t cannot be said
just when the work will be commenced,
but it is expected that the dock will be
completed-that is, the addition to it
by next summer. The work may begin
within the next two months. but it is
more than probable that it will be delayed
until the winter. 1t will take at least six
months to accomplish the work that will
be done. The determination of the COM
pany to enlarge the dock was brought
about by the fact that vessels are now
being built upon this coast whose dimen-
sions will be such that the present dock
at Hunters Point will not be able to ac-
commodate them.
At present the dock is 4S0 feet long at
the top, and it is proposed to extend this
length 100 feet. which will make the dock
GAO feet long. To do this the company will
have TO cut away a solid wall of rock
While the work is being done vessels will
be able to use the dock just the same. for
the reason that the extension to be added
Will be begun at the extreme limit ana
worked toward the present dock, so that
only small wall of rock will have to be
cut away when the extension is ready TO
be added.
At present the dock at Hunters Point
is just large enough to accommodate such
vessels as the transports Sheridan and
Grant When the extension has been com
pleted 1t will be large enough for the
longest vessels that come to this port
The improvements that the California
Drydock Company propose to make mean
a great deal to this port in the way of
helping business. Vessels that formerly
had to go elsewhere for drydockage Will
find it at Hunters Point.

AGRICULTURAL SCIENTISTS.
Preparations to Entertain the Distin-
guished Professors From
the East

The committee having in charge the en-
tertainment of the delegates to the con-
vention of members of the Associated
Colleges of Agriculture met yesterday in
the Chamber of Commerce to report prog
ress. There were present Captain Charles
Nelson, E. Scott, A Sbarboro, Professor
M. E. Jaffa, c. f. Adams, H. H. Taylor,
]. A. Filcher, Prentess Smith and others.
Mr.. Smith, who is an active member of
the finance committee, stated that the
banks of this city have subscribed $1,000
toward the fund, and Mayor Phelan, the
Board of Trade and the Millbrae Dairy
have added sufficient to make the amount
$500 of the $4,000 required. 1t was con-
Guided that the amount would be easy
to secure, as there are plenty of public
spirited land owners who desire to dem
onstrate to the learned visitors that there
is no end of possibilities for the future
of the State.
Professor Jaffa and Mr.. Scott stated
that Lloyd Tevis of Haggin 81 Tevis and
j. f. English desire the visitors to go to
the part of the State in which their re-
spective lands are located. The former
have agreed to provide entertainment at

mento and San Joaquin rivers with view
of learning more of the reclamation prob
lem, and irrigation as well. The latter

tant visitors will be Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson. -,
The report was made by A. Sbarboro
that the SwissItalian colony would en-
terrain the guests at Asti. The members

THE SOUTHERN LYNCHINGS.

San Francisco, June 4, 1899


San Francisco. June 4, 1899.
Editor of the San Francisco Call: AS I
have noted with great pleasure. shared in
by all the people of my race whose opin-
ions have been expressed in my presence.
the brave and patriotic stand you have
taken in regard to the unfortunate lynch
ings which have, from time to time, oc-
CURED in various parts of the South, 1t
seems proper that 1 should express my
sincere and earnest thanks to you know
ing that l but family state what all my
people feel in this matter. I am sure that
all worthy colored people have been very
hopeful that they would be accorded the
same treatment that people of the white
race receive, and that where there are
violations of the laws, as there must be
while poor humanity is cropping its way
toward the light and a wiser understand
ing of what is their duty toward their fell
low man, and best for themselves, the
laws would be permitted to have their
course and the barbarianS of mob pro-
ceedingS would be froWned upon by all
good citizens. 1t is undeniable that
very many of my people lose calm reason
when they hear of such horrid crimes as
those which lately darkened the skies in
Georgia, and they feel excused for being
unduly severe upon the crazy men who
took the lead in that sad transaction. and
them back to a proper way of reasoning
as reading such noble sentiments as you
nave expressed when referring to the
hasty actions of the cowardly mob.
1t is not my purpose to keep the angry
feelings alive, but it seems well that you
should know how grateful we all feel to
you for expressing what the best citizens
of the country, North and South, feel in
regard to these unfortunate occurrences.
l am sure that each recurring lynching
has a tendency to weaken the bonds Of
law and order in the community where it
takes place, and that these spread to 9TH
er communities. creating prejudice, if not
hatred. But if all the Influential jour
nails speak the sentiments of the better
class of their readers, as you have it
cannot be long until exact justice will be
assured to all. Again thanking you, I
am sincerely yours.
