MUSTERED OUT.
Ten Companies of G. N. G. Discharged
From the Service.

Sacramento, Cal, May 2.-Sweep-
ing orders were issued by Adjutant
General Lauck today whereby ten
companies of the California national
guard are mustered out of the SER
vice for Having fallen below the
standard of efficiency" and by gen.
eral reconstruction of the state mill
tary organization the number of regi-
ments is reduced from five to three,
each 10 be a full regiment of twelve
companies. The dismissal of the ten
companies comes as a result of in
vestigations which have been made by
Col, Thomas Wilhelm during the last
few months, and it is understood that
it is upon his recommendations that
the orders are issued. San Francisco
is more largely affected than any
other place and that city is now al
most without military organization,
several companies having been dis
missed some time ago from the First
infantry which is now wiped out of
existence.

Editor Seniinel: In my judgement
the board Of Supervisors of this county
will have up for consideration next
week a matter which seriously con-
Germs the interertS of Grenada. /
refer to the propositions to bridge
the Yalobusha river at Harkin.s s
landing, just north Of HOlcOmb, and
to erect q bridge acroOs Bogue at
Elliott station. 1t is indeed sur
,priSing to me that our county
legislators. should have lent even
enough encouragement to either
proposition to have permitted either
to progress to the point of a probable
reality. For the people asking for
the bridge at Harkin's, the county
has provided splendid and ample ac-
commodationS both as to roads and
as to bridges for them to reach the
railroad at either the county site or
at Holcomb. The county can not be
expected tn maintain roads, bridges
or even free ferries at every coon
trail across the river. A splendid
bridge spans the river only a mile
and one half below the point it is
proposed to. build this one.
The request for a bridge at Elliott, l
cannot believe is being asked in
seriousness. The prososition appears
too ludicrOuS for business men to con-
meet themselves with. Who is ask
ing for the bridge at Elliott? Would
it lead to county development and to
the accommodation and convenience
of any large number of people? The
tax payers OF the county are to be
considered before combinations of
you tickle me and III tickle you"
are entered into. The town of
Grenada pays nearly half the taxes of
the county and it certainly has the
right not only to ask but to demand
that the member of the board of
supervisors from this beat take no
steps in matters like this without
knowing what majority of his con-
Stituency desires.
The building Of these bridges
would be inimical to the busineR,
interests Of Grenada and | Sugge68v
that our people be alive TO what con-
fronts them and see that the bridges
are not built. CITIZEN
