DEMAND FANCY PRICES FOR LAND Valley Railway Progress Blocked by a Few Owners. until yesterday afterncon would he place any price on the two acres of land in- voived, and then he blandly announced that he wanted $4000 or $2000 an acre. Considering that Azhderian’s house and outbuildings are located at the otner end of the lot and the real merket value of the land, which at the bighest is $300 an acre, the officials were considerably more than surprised at Azhderian’s proposition. | Frank H. Ball refused to set any price | for a strip off the end of hisland. In this | case itis admitted that the damage will amount to something, as the railroad will pass immediately in front of his house. Finding stormy opposition also to the plan of buying a strip alonz East avenue, the officials looked over the surrounding field with & view to picking out another Directors Unable to Acquire Rights of Way South of Fresno. Unaccountabls Oppositioa to the Ex- tension ¢f the Cemp:ting Road. FRESNO, CAv., Jan. 9.—The results of the efforts of the Valley road officials to- day to settle the differences on right-of- | way matters soutn of this city, on the route leading to Hanford, in order that | track-building might be resumed at once, did not prove very successful; in fact, nothing wasaccomplished except that the officials were able to learn the tr itua- tion of affairs. This t the directors of the company in San tran- ciscoin'a few days.

It does not pro- pose to submit, and what action will be | taken will not be learned until the d tors hold their meet It is plair dent that the railroad people intend, if possible, to begin the construction of the road southward in the near future. The visiting officials are somewh guarded in t remarks, and in conver- sation with a CALL representative to- night Vice-President Watt mildly put it that the company ‘“hoped” to continue construction within the next few weeks. But it was learned from other sources that Mr. Watt and his colleagues were more resolute than hope: Jtisalso a sign cials will return to Fresno in a few days to continue the work of settiing the right- of-way matters. They appear to consider that they have done everything in their power to settle the differences on an ami- cable basis, and that the only course left is m the courts to institute condemnation proceedin This may as well be done at the present time as later e capital of the road is idle, and the promoters of the enterprise are in no isfied with keeping matters at a Watt, and Pres- ton,'accompanied by Right-of-Way Agent | C. S. Young and P. Darling, were out bright and early this morning looking over the territory adjoining the city, over which for the distance of about a mile their chief trouble between kresno and Hanford The local committee of ten had promised | 10 obtain a free right of way for three| miles south of the city to a point where the survey of the new road crossesthe Southern Pacific track, about two miles north of Malaga. Through the Hughes tract, which immediately ad joins the city, no trouble was experienced, and from its southern boundary the plan was for the railroad to run aiong East avenue for about a mile to the piace where the suryey turns and runs parallel with the Southern Pacific line. By taking advantage of the public highway the committee considerea that it had fulfilled its obligation. But a new phase to the proposition has appeared. The abutting property-owners along East avenue have threatened to sue | the company for heavy damages because of the passing of the railroad in front of their places—a repetition of the Q-street difficulty. in tnis’city. Desiring to avoid litigation and trouble, the company was willing to abandon the public roadway and purchase a strip of land sixty feet wide, running varallel with it, for a rig of way. Thecompany was and is willing | to pay a reasonuble value, and its repre- sentatives are showing a disposition to be | quite liberal. | Butthisalternative plan bas also proved | unsuccessful in_effecting a satisfactory settiement of the right of way for this | mile. The officials visited all the prop- erty-owners, but did not succeed very well | in changing their attitude. | An Armenian named Azhderian was | probably the property-owner with whom the greatest difficulty was experienced. | The directors wanted a strip sixty feet | wide off the end of his 20-acre tract.

Any way would do, but their efforts were with- out avail. No practicable line could be found but that serious obstacles would be encountered. | The party returned to the Hughes Hotel at noon. They remained during the entire afternoon and held conferences with the | obstrusting property-owners, who had been requested to come in. This dia not prove any more successful than those of the forenoon. The officials also met the commiitees on the Reedley route, and conferred with committeemen from Han- | ford. The Reedley people expressed them- selves as anxious to get the competing road through for next season. They were not idle in right-of-way matters, they ex- plained, and hoped to_be able to clear up the difficulty between Fresno and Reedley in the near iuture. Their hope, it seems, is not based on the most eacouraging grounds, however. | Their principal trouble lies in the Mendo- | cino district, where the property-owners | are demanding heavy prices for their | lands. B | A meeting of the people in San Fran- | cisco who own most of the land south of } the river will be held on Thursday neqt. All depends on the sugcess of this meeting in raising funds to purcnass rights of way in Fresno County. As to the Hanford | route, no serious trouble is anticipated be- yond the mile just south of the city, but the mile of fan ues has nettled the officials, and th L not return to San ancisco in the most hapny frame of mind to report to the directors. el g Sos | DECLARED AK IMPOSTOR. Putative Representative of a San Fran- cisco Organization Given a Setback. FRESNO, CAL., Jan. 9.—M. M. Barnet, representing Limself as the manager of 1e San Francisco Journal of Commerce, arrived in the city a few duysago. He an- | nounced that his purpose was to arouse the interest of Fresno business men in the nt fact that the cffi- | Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion, claiming to be the founder of the organization but not an officer at the pres- ent time, | He went around among the local mer- chants and met with satisfactory encour- agement. He explained that as soon as he bad gained the interest of the business men he would have an officer of the asso- ciation come down from San Francisco and orranize a branch here. Incidentally | Mr. Barnet gathered data for a write-up of the county’s resources in his paper. To-day a telezram was received from Julian Sonntag, president of the Manufac- and Producers’ Association, stat- ing that Mr. Barnet was in no way & rep- resentative of the organization. James O'Leary, the president of the Journal of Commerce Publ shing Com- pany, who was seen last night, said: ‘Baruet is not and has not been man- ng editor of the Journal, though thers wasa paragraph in a Fresno paper refer- ring to him as such, and also as a repre- sentative of the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association, which he is not, As | soon as Julian Sonntag heard thet Bar- ne! was understood st Fresno to be con- nected witlrthe scid associatfon hd wired that Barnet had nothing to do with it. Barnet went to Fresno simply as an aa- vertising solicitor and 1o get what busi- ness he could for a special San Joaquin | Valley edition of the Journal. He got | considerable business, and then he appar- | ently thought it would be better for bim to beld it out of this paper. Just what | his entire scheme was I 10 not know.” Portland Litigation Ended.

Needs More Supporters in the Upper House of the National Legis- lature. SEATTLE, Wasu., Jan. 9.—A gontle- man who is connected with the law de- partmeant of the Southern Pacific recently made the statement in Portland to a resi- dent of this State that the railroad man- sgement is just now being much engrossed with the business of looking after the Senatorial elections in Oregon and Wash- ington. Grover Cleveland might occa- sionally have Congress on his hands, but according to this authority C. P. Hunting- ton had quite as much or more to look after in seeing a United States Senator of the right complexion elected than did the President in holding the reins over the two Congressional teams. For more than a week past there have been reports to the effect that Hunting- ton’s agents were stationed at Olympi: with instructions to see that no man hos- tile to the Pacific railroads funding bill was elacted. The Legislature meets on Monday. There are six or eight candi- dates, but only three— Judge George Turner of Spokane, Senator Squire and Richard Winsor, both of Seattle—have developed any strength. Huntington’s candidate, so the Senator-makers say, is a dark horse, and probably a Populist, though it is possible that he has made or may make a deal with one of the avowed candidates. A member of Congress recently stated in this city that for Huntington to be able to secure the passage of the funding bill in the new Senate it would be neces- sary for him to bring about the election of S8pooner of Wisconsin, a railroad man who aiready has the caucus nomination; W. D. Chipley, a Florida railroad man, us the succes<or of Senator Call, and cer- tainly another from either this State or Oregon. The Legislature stands on joint ballot fifteen silver Republicans, fifteen Demo- crats, fifty-six Populists and twenty-five Republicans, with one contest between a Populist and 8 straight Republican. The Legislature which elected John L. Wilson Senator two years ago stood on joint ballot seventy-eight Republicans, twenty - four Populists and ten Democrats. Lol e ok Gathering at Salem. SALEM, Or., Jan. 9.—The Legislature will convene on Monday. Members from all over the Btate ae arriving. A fierce coatest will ensue on the eiection of a United States Senator. It is doubtful whether Mitchell can ‘hold his toga. bas many warm friends, but the gold Re- publicans will oppose himi unless be de- fines his position more clearly than he has yet done. He will receive no Popu- list or Democratic votes. Joseph Simon of Portland will be elected President of the Senate witheut opposi- tion, but there is likely to be a keen-fight for the speakership. Jonathan Bourne, who was elected from Portland by the Sil- ver Republicans and Populists, is making adetermined fight for it, but may not suc- ceed. Riddle of Southern O.egon 1s a strong man and may win. He is a gold Republican. 1t is pelieved that Mitchell will have as hard a fight for re-election to the Senate as did Dolph two years ago. MOB LAW AT ORANGEVALE. B Japanese Coolies Hanged by the Neck Until Almost Dead and Then Driven From the Colony. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Jan. 9.—Tt isre- ported that fifteen citizens of Orangevale, situated twenty miles north of this city, after disguising their identity by pulling gunny sacks over their heads, night be- fore Jast visited the premises of one of the tract owners, C. G. Roof, who had in his employ six Japanese, and there captured the outfit of the little brown men. It is claimed that ropes were putaround the necks of the Japanese, and- that they were suspended to an oak tree ‘until mearly dead. After e driven from the colony, with a warning that if they or any. of their brethren ever reiurned they would be hanged and left for the Coroner. It is also claimed that when :Roof came to the rescue of his employes and began to remonstrate a rope was thrown around his neck and he was threatened with the same penalty that was inflicted on his employes, but tuat Mrs, Roof became se hysterical and his little ones so frightened that the mob relented and allowed him his liberty. g Over a year ago a number of Chinese re- ceived similar treatment in this locality and they have mnever attempted to obtain work in'the colony since. g Los Gatos Floral Sociely. LOS GATOS, Car., Jan. 9.—The Los Gatos Floral Soeiety has elected the fol- lowing officers for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. George Butler; vice-presi- dent, Mrs. 8. F.

Famous Bew-Wows Pose Before Hundreds of Interested Cpectators. Otis Fellcws Acts as Juige and Awards Trophies. to the Deserv- ing Cindidates. SACRAMENTO, CAn, Jan. 9.—The bench show of the California Kennel Association is one of the most meritorious ever exhibited on the coast—so say the experts and dog lovers who are thronging the great pavilion. There have been more canines exhibited at former affairs of ‘the kind, but never such a choice and valuable collection. This, to a great extent, is attributgd to the fact that J. Otis Fellows, who is acting as judge in awarding the prizes, is recognized as the highest authority on the breeding, corfformation and individuality of dogs in the United States, and breeders and dog fanciers realize that their animals must possess i true merit to stand any possible chance with the expert. In consequence, they have presented the pick of their kennels. There are nearly twenty St. Bernards on exhibition, among them being J. E, Tade’s The Cid, J. Blain’s Grand Duke, T. H. Brown's Grand Master, which has won first prizes all over the United States, and Miles Taylor's Roxey Savége Taylor, one of the very best dogs in the State. Among the smooth-coated St. Bernards the bitch Vienna, owned by Mazzini Brothers of this city, is the principal attraction. She was greatly admired by visitors through- out the day. & The great Danes attracted a great deal of attention, and they certainly make a fine showing. The €Cunningham kennels head their show with Juanita and Ivan, both prize-winners, and the Mount Shasta kennels put Orchard Trilby forward as the best one in their lot. W. E. Lovdal makes a good showing in this depariment, as does E. Eunoack of this city. . The only bloodhound shown is the fa- mous Buckshot II, and he doubtless scared all other tompetitors out of his class. In hunting dogs there are numerous en- with many notables, such as the pointers Juno H and Baldy, both bench winners; the Englishy settér Countess Noble, and Silver Plate. one of her vbro- geny. Charm, winner of the first and special prizes at San Francisco, is also present. . The epanielsare headed by Royal Dandy, L who isa five-time winner at bench shows during the past vear. O. F. Albee of Santa Clara shows six colties—fine speci- mens of their species. The best individ- ual among them is Major Welion, a son of Wellsborn Charlie, the greatest collie of his time.
