Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 21-The Santa
Rosa chamber of commerce took steps
last night to cooperate with the Napa
chamber in an attempt to secure a
motor car service over the Southern
Pacific company's line between the two
cities. A huge petition has already
been signed here and a similar one is
being prepared in Napa to be presented
to the railroad authorities.
A special committee of the chamber
was instructed to present to the city
council the necessity of placing electric
lights at regular intervals on each side
of Fourth street from the Northwestern
Pacific depot to the public library.
The question of better rail communi-
cation with the territory south of the
city was also considered as the result
of a petition from residents in the
vicinity of Bellevue. At present there
is only one train a day from Santa
Rosa, which allows only % minutes
for shoppers here. The Northwestern
Pacific will be requested to give serv-
ice that will allow residents along the
line opportunity to visit Santa Rosa
for shopping purposes and the children
to attend school.

This Year
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, Jan. 21.-It is the gem
eral opinion here that congress will
make the appropriation for the dredg-
Ing and widening of the San Joaquin

Reports have been received from
Washington that the entire appropria-
ton recommended by the government
engineers-s240.00 900, providing for a
minimum depth of nine feet-will not be
made this year, but provision Will be
made for making the two big cutons
and doing the regular dredging.
1t will take year to make the cut
off at Rough and Ready island and
Mandevile island" said Attorney c. L.
Gently before the rivers and harbors con-
gress at Washington. THE govern
ment at first asked the city to guaran-
tee the property involved in the pro-
posed cutoffs, and now, according TO re-
ports, also intends to purchase the land.
This will be a saving of several thou-
sand dollars to the county.
Both c. D. Clarke and j. w. Glenn,
managers of the local steamboat COM
panies, state the making of the cutoffs
this year will be a big step forward
Congressman Needham wired today

been waiting three years to marry that
girl" exclaimed Mrs. Minnie Eckfeldt
this afternoon just after Justice Parker
had united her Is year old daughter,
Ella Smith. in marriage with James L.
Cody, aged AZ, And now he's finally
got her. All that time I've watched
him and 1 know he's "a good man, a
splendid man."
Cody is the postmaster at Bellota,
this county. The girl bride and her
mother have long been residents of
the same place.
The postmaster was a frequenter of
the Eckfeldt home for years. and fell
in love with Ella when she was but
very little girl.
He waited until she reached the age
at which county clerks are permitted
to issue marriage licenses with paren-
tai consent and then fastened the we'd
ding. The mother accompanied the girl
to this city and proudly gave her con-
sent.

when his attorney failed to appear in
court this morning and the death SEN

The eagerness shown by the re-

many in the courtroom. Instead of
returning to Folsom tomorrow he will

He has many friends in San Rafael.
