of the business TO be transacted will be
the admittance of 125 new members,
whose applications are now on file.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. 22.-It Is learned
here to-day that the committee of Mendo-
cino County citizens who a few days ago
visited President a. W. Foster of the CAL
ifornia Northwestern Railway in the hope
OF being able to influence the company
to change its present plansof building the
proposed branch line into the redwoods
Of Mendocino County from point above
Cloverdale so as TO have the branch con-
meet with the main road at Ukiah met
with very little encouragement.
1t is expected that work on the new
branch Will be commenced early IN Oc-
tober. The surveys have all been made
and grade stakes are now being set out
along the entire route. The new road will
leave the main line at Asti and pene-
trating the rich Dry Creek Valley will fol-
low the banks OF Rancheria Creek to its
junction with Indian Creek and thence
down the latter to the town Of Christine
in Mendocino County. Near here the
company has % 600 acres Of virgin timber
land under bond and 1t IS stated upon
what appears to be excellent authority
that a company is now being organized TO
build and operate mills in several por-
tionS of this immense tract.
The report is current here that the
money necessary for the construction of
this new branch, which will approximate
81, 900, 600, is now on deposit to the com.
pany's credit il San francisco bank and
available for the purpose.
If the plans of the railroad people are
realized the new road Will eventually De
extended TO Eureka In this event the
the present main line TO Ukah will be-
come a branch or spur Of the main road.

OMAHA KID LOST.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22-Oscar Gardner,
the Omaha Kid" did not fight up 10 his
usual standard when he met Jack Hamil-
ton OF Troy at the Broadway Athletic
Club tonight. Hamilton won IN de-
cisive manner, and the referee gave him
the bout at the end Of the twenty-fifth
round. Gardner was q 10 l favorite at
the start, but his chances 10 win became
less and less as the fight progressed.

TAHOE EXCURSION
ENDS THE SEASON
It Promises to Be Very Brilliant
Affair,

The proposed excursion to Lake Ia
hoe which the Southern Pacific has an
nounced for Saturday. October I, prom
ises to be a brilliant close to the most
brilliant excursion season which the
State has ever known. The extreme
cheapness of the rate is of course the
merit of the event. Ten dollars for a
trip of this kind, including sleeping car
expenses for two nights, is absurdly
low, and places the delights of one of
the most famous resorts in the world
easily within reach of the pleasure
going public.
Excursions of this kind are always
select and first class, and have the ad-
vantage Of a manager who looks after
the comfort and entertainment of his
guests Mr.. William H. Mention, the
company's experienced excursion man
ager will be in command on this occa-
sion. Secure tickets and sleeping car
accommodations at 613 Market street.

Poolrooms to Keep Open.

SAUSALITO, Sept. 22.-Broyer G.
Glynn's poolrooms were closed down to-
day on account of the opening of the
Oakland race track. 1t has been decided
to sell pools on Eastern races at Joe
Haryey's poolrooms during the winter,
Broyer & Glynn to share in the profits.
The reason for the unusual departure in
keeping one of the betting establishments
open during the winter is said to be the
enormous profits realized this summer,
many asserting that each Of the pool
rooms has netted $4,000. The anti-gam-
bling element is incensed at the prospect
of poolrooms the year round, but has
met with so many defeats in the attempt
to suppress them that ii is unlikely any
further effort will be made in that direc-
ton.

No report has as yet been received by
the local post Office officials showing who
were the successful contestants for the
positions of letter carriers. kilograms
this week to the department brought the
reply that no report had been received as
yet from the civil service department.
The carriers cases, and all the furniture
for the changes in the Office, have been
completed and await the putting in, which
will not be done until the close of business
Sept. 80. The building is to have the new
windows put in next week by Contractor
Buchanan, but no changes in the furniture
can be made until the end of the month, as
the patrons have leased the boxes until
that time. Work will begin Saturday
evening, Sept 30, and be continued night
and day until all is in complete shape for
free delivery, which begins Monday morn
ing, Oct, 2.
Some inconvenience has been experienced
by Mr.. Buchanan in finding sand stone
window caps and stills to match those used
in building the opera house building, but
that obstacle has been overcome and they
are being dressed in Massachusetts,. The
building will be ready in ample time before
the first of the month. Postmaster Can
non was in Brattleboro Wednesday inves-
tigating methods and making his plans for
the new departure.
