county or state moneys are avail
able and to secure federal participa-
ton the plan is invoked to raise the
necessary sum from private SUBJ
scriptions. It was declared at the
road meeting that substantial sums
have already been gathered in Cali
fornia cities and that additional
pledges have been put forward, and
that a few months, at the most,
should suffice to complete the fund.
Hitherto, it is admitted, California
promises have been more or less
ephemereal, but assurances are held
out that specific performance is to

The Incentive.

To be ambitious Of true honor, Of
the true glory and perfection Of our
natures, Is the very incentive OF vir-
tue; but to be ambitious Of titles, Of
place, Of ceremonial respects and civil
pageantry, is as vain and little a. the
things are which we court.-Sir Philip
Sidney.

The Weather

The Weather
The weather has lacked a degree
or two of being salubrious during
late days. Yesterday morning that
sinister thing we denominate "the
mercury" dropped until it registered
in an official sense seven below
zero. Not satisfied the weather
man gave an additional dosage this
morning of five below, and the doses
are not homeopathic by any means.
The severity is surprising and de-
structive and the general express
sion heard on the streets of the
town is, "We've had enuff." The
highest temperature yesterday was
81 above zero and the mean was
10 above, contrasting strongly with
the normal mean of 33. The fore
cast: Fair tonight and Wednesday;
continued cold.
