The people Of the State of California
send greeting to Robert Graham:
We command you that, all and sim
gular business and excuses being laid
aside, you appear and attend and bring
with you all necessary books, state
ments, papers and documents necessary
to disclose all property which is assess
able in Sacramento County belonging
to, claimed by, or in the possession of,
or under the control or management of
the Fruit Growers Express, a corpora
tion of which you are manager; also
all papers, books, documents, ETC., nee
essary to show all the taxable property
belonging to, claimed by, or under the
control of the Fruit Growers Express, a

Sacramento County, State of California,
at my office in the county courthouse, in
the city of Sacramento, State of Cali
fornia, on the Goth day of June, A. d.
1899, at the hour of two (2) o'clock p.
m. of that day, then and there to tes-
tify in regard to all property claimed
by, or in the possession, or under the
control or management of the Fruit
Growers Express, corporation of
which you are manager.
And for disobedience to this sub
pena, or failure to appear and testify
at said time and place, you will be- pun
ished as for contempt, and you will
also forfeit to the people Of the State
of California the sum of one hundred
dollars, gold coin of the United States"
Section 1923 of the Political Code pro-
vides, among other things, that each
County Assessor must, between the
first Mondays in March and July of
each year, ascertain all the property in
his county subject to taxation, except.
such as is required to be assessed by
the State Board of Equalization land
must assess such property to the per-
son by whom it was owned or claimed,
or in whose possession or control it was,
at II o'clock meridian of the first Mon
day in March next preceding"
One question is, what cars of this, for
eign corporation were in this State On
the list of March, and another Is, as to
whether, if such property is assessable
here, that duty belongs to County AS
SCISSORS or to the State Board of Equai-
cation. These points will probably be
fully argued at the hearing this after
noon.

row in the spacious grounds at Third

enjoyable affair and one that should
assist materially toward the mainten-
ance Of the home during the season.
The Children's Day Home is an in
stitution that deserves the support Of
every citizen. 1t affords a home dur
ing the day for the children of poor
women who find it necessary to go out
to work in order to support, or assist
in supporting their families. Many not
only have this to do, but have also to
support invalid or crippled husbands.
During the summer season several
hundred women find employment in the
fruit canneries, but those who have
young children to care for cannot avail
themselves Of this work unless there be
some place in which they can leave
their little ones during working hours
and have them properly looked after.
To do this has been the mission of
the Day Home. established by the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
It has had some support from the COM
munity, but not a great deal-notlhing
