RAILROAD MAN
THEIR GUEST
Members of Traffic Agents
Association Honor r. H.
CountiSs at a Banquet

No jollier crowd ever gathered in
the banquet hall of the California
Hotel than the one that met yesterday
to extend wishes for a safe trip and a
prosperous future TO r. II. Countiss,
agent OF the Transcontinental Freight
Bureau, who will depart on August
for Chicago. Countiss was the guest
of the Pacific Coast Association of
Traffic Agents and his hosts repre-
scented all the great roads of America.
Though all regretted that Countiss
has been called to new fields of en-
deavor, the knowledge that he will
visit this city perhaps once every
months raised the spirits of his friends
and merriment reigned. S. F. Booth
OF the Union Pacific as POSTMASTER
had a fund of wit at his command.
He assigned the serious phases of the
event to c. w. Colby as orator and re-
inforced him with G. w. Luce and
others who responded to toasts. Wal
ter Kneiss and the association quartet
furnished the songs, and once or twice,
to the lively tunes of the orchestra, T.
w. Tenwinkel did the cakewalk around
the horseshoe table.
In his response to many words
of friendship that had been spoken,
Countiss said that while he greatly re-
GREETED his departure from San Fran
cisco. the knowledge that he carried
away with him the friendship of his
associates of the last five years was
especially gratifying. The competition
in the railroad business, he continued,
was sharper here than in most any
place in Americy still he knew of no
place where the railroad men worked
in greater harmony, or where friend
ship was more closely cemented. He
would be here often, he said in con-
clusian, and the knowledge that
friends were here would be like well
come home and each trip to San Fran
cisco he would anticipate with pleas

the Board of Equalization at its ses
sion this morning from s400, 100 to $780,
000 Many minor petitions for reduc-
tions were presented by private per-
sons. a number of these were granted.

In support of the petition for reduc-
ton of the assessment on it's franchises
the gas company was represented by
its president, John A. Britton. and his
attorney, John A. Mcdonald They
argued to the board that their fran
chises were not exclusive but such as
any one could get and that they placed
no value en- them. They also declared
that the company had to make d profit
over its expenses, and if the expenses
should be made heavier By increased
taxes it in turn would have to charge
more for It's product They failed TO

that it was taxing the people of the
city for money which ultimately was
spent out over the county.

lowing reductions were made: The
franchise TO construct and maintain
gas works and lay gas pipes in the
city of Oakland, assessed at $250,000,

the consent of all parties, at the valua-
lions at which the boats were assessed
in San Francisco.

OFFICERS MUST
DO FIELD DUTY
War Department Amends
Order Limiting Camp Ser
vice to Regimental Stats

When it was decided that the Ma
tional Guard of California was to so
into camp this year it was ordered that
none above the rank Of colonel should
take part in the maneuvers. This order
cut out brigade and staff officers, but
recently, upon the request of the Cow
ernor, the United States War Depart
ment has issued an order permitting
the following to take part in the field
exercises at the camp next month:
Engineer division-Colonel T. w. Nor
gan, &. engineer officer; Lieutenant
Colonel ]. A. Roster, division inspector;
Major L. S. Sehmitt, aid-de-camp.
First Brigade-Lieutenant Colonel A.
w. Bradbury, assistant adjutant gen
eral; Lieutenant Colonel W. G. Schreib-
er (retired), acting brigade inspector;
Major ]. II. Campbell, inspector of rifle
practice.
Second Brigade-Lieutenant Colonel
C. F. Hanson. surgeon; Major J. II.
Hendy, engineer officer; Major r. E
Warfield, de-camp.
Third Brigade-Lieutenants Colonel ].
p. Pedlar; Lieutenant Colonel T. ].
Hay, assistant adjutant general; Major
w. w. Phillips, commissary.
Among the employers who have noti-
fed the division headquarters that
such of their employees as are members
of the National Guard and desire to
attend the encampment will be permit
ted to do so are the Pacific States Tel
ephone Company, r. Weineke: Hol-
o
Railroads and the California Safe De-
post Company.
The railroad company has further &C
cornmodated the soldiers of the State
so that the companies located at Marys-
vile, Chico and Woodland will be con-
Yeyed by special train, and will not be
required to start so early as was orig
inally intended. Some slight change
has also been made to facilitate the
conveying of troops by the Santa Fe.
All baggage and equipment of the
State troops will be moved at the ex-
pense of the United States Government.
All the officers have been supplied by
the United States War Department
with a neat pamphlet entitled 'Instruc-
tions for Maneuvers,' and advised to
study them carefully so as to be pro-
ficient when in the field.
The State has made an allowance of
10 cents per day for each man while
in camp, to enable each company to
purchase such luxuries as are not pro-
vided by the army schedule.
Through the efforts of Colonel Will
helm of the Governors staff the equip
ments for the State troops are being
forwarded to destination.
Nothing officially has been done up
to yesterday in the matter of the com
pany at Grass Valley that refused to
obey the order TO go into camp. There
has been considerable comment on the
part Of guardsmen on the course of
Colonel Seymour in announcing that he
would visit the company at it's locale
and endeavor to have it go to camp.
1t is understood now that he will issue
a direct order to the company to pro-
coed to camp, and if there is another
disobedience arrests will follow, and
steps will then be taken to muster the
company out of the service of the State.
