Back in Chicago most all Of the
Republican flotsam and jetsam OF
this great country Is eddying about
the Republican political currents.
There is neither heads nor tails to
situation that hourly grows more
confounding. for the stalwarts, as
they are pleased to term themselves
the fellows who formed one division
of the @. o. p. in 1912 when their
opponents turned into Bull Moose
overnight and rode them to a certain
defeat-are on hand In about the
same numbers as In 1912 and the
line Of cleavage between the party's
factions is as we'll defined AZ 1t was
eight years ago.
A very busy bunch are the Repub-
lican leaders as they shake and dust
the political beds and 1t now remains
to be seen II the Chicago affair will
make strange bedfellows or shall we
see see Hiram Johnson and his CO.
horts march out of the coliseum as
did the great Roosesllt in 1912 lead
ing his followers into an indepen-
dent convention where a new angle
may be given to 1920 politics?
Yesterday was devoted very
largely to feeling the pulse of the
convention, a period of conferences
being followed by adjournment.
Some interesting action is promised
for today, including the putting for
ward OF candidates. and the prophesy
Is freely INDUCED that dark horse
is certain to be shunted onto the
stage for the benefit OF the warning
factions. Admittedly the thing most
desired by the hearts OF the Repub-
lican leaders is the certain defeat of
of the Democrats in the fall presi-
dental elections and return to the
power SO ungracefully yielded eight
years ago, These have have been

There is no land open for home

the present time, although privately

clamation headquarters II Is given
out that future activities In public

largely by the disposition that may

FOURTH OF JULY PLANS
BEING RAPIDLY MATURED

Plans for a great Fourth OF July
celebration are being matured under
the capable direction of the several
committees representing the civic
bodies of the city. The members of
tho band. leading spirits in the en-
terprise. gave street concert last
evening and the music constituted a
revelation TO discerning local people
who gladly noted the great strides
that have been made by the band s
membership. 1t is doubtful II there

tion within the state at this time.

SALTWATER TO TAKE ON
NEW LIFE AND IMPORTANCE

consistent of the advocates Of
promised greatness for Saltwater,
and Albert Lebeau. his partner In the
ownership of the Saltwater townsite
holding. comprising go acres, sold
the land included within the town.
site segregation to T. w. Mufich, OF
Vallejo. Calf, the deal being COM
pleted Monday of this week. Mr..
Mufich plans to start improvements
at once that will help to make Still
water further famous. and included
will be public baths and resort
where weekends may be spent by
project residents and others. Mr..
Mufich also plans to install big hot
water system from which he proposes
to serve all residences to be erected
with both heat and cooking facilities.
There Is q demonstrated thermal belt
In the saltwater vicinity and this Is
depended upon to furnish the hot
water supply for the projected en-
terprise.
Mr.. Mufich left yesterday for his
home and he expects to interest a
large amount OF California capital in
his development plans.- Among these
is one having to do with an oil
development project on townsite
lands which he will except from sale
in the immediate future.
Behind Saltwater are vast re-
sources, including agriculture, oil
and metal mining and as time passes
and this projects potentialities are
converted into actualities, 1t is as
severated that Fallon cannot always
hope to occupy a position of muni-
cipal exclusiveness. but that certain
advantages must be shared with
other towns. In this connection
partisans of saltwater assert that
proximity to the oil fields, and its
advantageous location insofar as a
fine farming district ;s concerned as
sures 1t of a preeminence that is
shortly to be admitted.
