DEVELOP NORTHERN
PART Of STATE.
Electric Construction Work
Under Way to Open Up
the Sacramento Valley
MANY LINES PLANNED

The two large electric railway
schemes which are under way In the
Sacramento Valley promise to DO much
toward developing the northern conI-
ties as these new enterprises viii con
meet the various towns, will help TO
rapidly move the products OF the soil
and. what is better still. easy and cheap
transportation means more population.
One Of these lines, the Northern Eiec-
trio Company. has built its road be-
tween Chico and Oroville and will soon
be in Marysviile. Its lines will be ex-
tended west OF Yuba City 10 Saera-
rento.
The northern end Of the Sacram meEto
Valley is TO be covered by the Reddin e
and Red Bluff road, which is TO be an
electric and steam line.
The cutting up of large holdings OF
land will do much toward developing
the northern counties. The subdivid-
ing Of enormous tracts has just begun.
Among the large ranches that have
been put upon the market is the mag
nifcent Los Molinos estate. which has
recently been thrown open for settle
naent. II contains 10000 acres. Shell
don & o'Brien are also subdividing a
large ranch near Live Oak, which con-
tains 10000 acres. and have established
a new town called Sunset City
On the opposite side OF the valley at
Williams Forgues & Johnson have pur-
chased 10000 acres. are subdividing ii
into small tracts and furnishing wa
ter.
The Butte County canal is now ready
to deliver water and will probably sup
ply about 100000 acres
wooster & Co. are subdividing a
large tract OF land in connection there

BIG GAME AND FISH

". J. Shotwell. as brown as the PRO-
verbal berry. was on the streets yes
terday. having returned Monday night
from his long trip over meadows and
mountains which he had undertaken in
company with Chief Engineer Virgil G.
Bogue In the interests of the Western
Pacific.
shotwell is a director of the West
ern Pacific as we'll as the general agent
Of the Denver and Rio Grande. Two
weeks ago he and Bogue started from
salt Lake City and journeyed TO oro-
vile. coming from there to this city
In speaking OF his trip Shotwell said:
Il is the most wonderful ride I ever
had The country through which the
Inc passes Is wooded and there are
the most beautiful meadows The riY-
ers are alive with fish. Bear and great
bands Of elk and deer roam the grass
covered prairies- OF birds there are
a great abundance-quail, grouse and
wild pigeons.
Mr.. Bogue and myself were greatly
surprised at the advance that had been
made IN building the road. The work
Is farther ahead than we expected.
There are seventy miles built out OF
Salt Lake westward. and IN many
places the grading is finished. and in
other places about so per cent is COM
pletec. The work on the tunnels is
wei under way, and the men to the
number of 5000 are able to labor under
the most advantageous circumstances,
as the weather is conducive TO the
preservation of health, and there Is
little or no sickness in the different
camps.
It viii really be one OF the scenic
lines of the country The road winds
along the mountain Sides. following &
streams and passing through meadows
which are surrounded by tall trees.
Their greenness casts any other green
in the shade.
There is one place near Clio. on the
top OF the mountain, where there are
thirty lakes, thirteen OF which contain
fish. This will make the line we'll pa
tronized by those who are fond OF
hunting and fishing.
The maximum grade of the road from
Oroville 70 Sierra Valley is ! per cent
and everywhere else one-half OF l per
cent
we covered a distance OF about 500
miles and Travelled some of the way on
the western Pacific, another part OF the
way IN en- automobile, few miles in

CITY CANNOT PAY
UNION DEMANDS.

There exists in this city q conflict
between unionism and the charter of
the municipality, which may result in
the municipality being deprived of its
corps OF electricians in the employ OF
the police and fire alarm telegraph
service. Twenty men are affected by
the dilemma
Under the charter the electricians are
10 receive IS a day and no extra time
That was the union wage al the time
Of the adoption Of the charter. Now
the wage scale has increased and union
men outside OF the city's employ are
receiving 1878 day and extra pay
for overtime and for Sunday and holi-
day work
A delegation OF electricians waited
upon Acting Mayor Gallagher yester-
DAY TO consider what might be done
for them Under the charter the city
is unionized. yet the electricians are
working under non-union conditions
The acting Mayor promised TO see what
elasticity he could introduce into the
organic law Of the city TO protect the
men from the undertaking provisions
OF the instrument.
