VISALIA’S WELCUME VISITOR. Valley Kailroad Hae« Nearly Keached the City Limit VISALIA, CAn, Aug. 13.—The Valley Railroad is almost to the northern limits of this city, and it is a very welcome visitor indeed. To show how much the producers and business men of this city and vicinity are in favor of assisting the road that has already done so much for them 1n the way of reducing freights and fares up and down the Suu Joaquin Val- ley, let us cite one or two out of many in- stances. A day or two ago a prominent wool- grower of Tulare County sold his erop of wool to one of the leading merchants of Vi-alia. Just before the sale was con- summated the grower said to the mer- chant: *If you promise to ship this wool of mine bv way of the Valley road I'll knock off $10 cn the price of the wool in your favor.” Of course the merchant bound himself to ship the wool over the Valley road. A number of our merchants here are delaying the ordering of supplies that they really need in order to have a rine large lot of merchandise of all kinds for the Valley road 1o biing in next week, when the new line will probably be run- ning a few freight trains in from the north. The people are with the Valley road and no mistake. fsaaves ey San Mateo County Winas. REDWOOD CITY, CaL., Aug. 13.—The case of San Mateo County vs. Loren Co- burn, in which the citizens of this county have evinced the greatest interest, has been decided in favor of plaintiff. Under a statute passed by the State Legislature in 1803, giving and setting over what is known as Pebble Beach to the county of San Mateo in trust for the public, the citi- zens of Pescudero and the county in general have claimed the right to have sccess to swid beach. Coburn disputed this right and apparently held the upper hand, his lands surrounding the beach on three sides and the Pacific Ocean on the fourth. The action of the county was one brought to condemn a right of way over defendant’s lands for a public highway. The court in its aecision grants the right of wav and fixes thedamages of defendant at $800. S Decinivs Pictoru for the Portuguese.

Considerable consternation was occa- sioned in the camp of the Ircquois braves iast night by the introduction of a reso- lution by John A. Hall, condemning the recent action of the Board of Education, and charging them with inflicting a ereat wrong on the.people of this community. The resolution is as follows: WHEREAS, We believe that the bulwark to our liberty and our country is in_the benefits of our public schools, which should always command our best efforis and respect; and whereas, we believe that the pub ic schools of this City and County have been dis- turbed and demoralized by reason of extra- ordinary action by certain members of the Board of Education; and whereae, we believe that the motive of the said members of the Boara o1 Education is in the hope of realizing a political ambition, rather that furthering the welfare of the children in their charge; noyw, therefore, be it Resolved, That we charge the members of the Board of Education, who are responsible for the vresent condition of affairs, with being guilty of = great wrong, and we believe they are willing to jeopardize the welfare of our children to their ambition to realize a misera- ble political ambitior. Resolved, That we further ask the Demo- cratic party to repudiate the act of the said Board of Education. The resolutions were referred to the com- mittee on resolutions, of which Max Pop- per is chairman.

A Bureau of Instruction and Information to Be Estab- lished, It Will Be Modeled After the Style of the State Mining Bureau It is proposed to establish in this City a permanent architectural and building museum, where a comprehensive collec- tion of building materials and appiiances, including high-class specimens of workmanship, will always be on view. This collection, properly classified and tastefully arranged, will be open daily and during the evenings iree to the general public, somewhat after the style of the State Mining Bureau and similar institu- tions. This institution will be an invalu- able aid to persons wishin: to obtain in- formation, snd a very convenient means of reference for architects, builders, me- persons desirous of obiaining building in- formation. A small committee gentlemen interested in the work of the museum will be invited to act as judges of the various exhibits, and awards and diplemas will be presented from t.me to time to exhibitors for meritorious ma- terials and workmans Among other features it is intended to publish an up-to-date, iilustrated, weekly building periodical in connection with the museum, independent in policy aund in style crisp and bright, free from verbiage and vadding, and containing frequent contributions from prominent men on architectural and building subjects. It is also proposed to allot a sufficient amount of space for the display ot such architectural designs in ink and color, models of buildings and perspectives, etc., as architects may be willing to loan from time to time for this purpose. The museum will bein charge of a cura- tor of experience in the various branches and requirements of the building busi- ness, and who is familiar with the neces- sities and workings of a museum of this character, He will be in constant attend- ance 10 give information to visitors, when desired to do so, and he will receive mes- sages, instructions or orders, and transmit the same to exhibitors. In this way exhibitors will be continu- ously represented, while still preserying the scientific character of the museum collection, and conntry firms may main- tain a close association with the leading building interests on this coast. Exhibitors or their employes may, of course, attend their own exuibit at any time, but sccosting visitors with a view to soliciting business in any form will not be allowed. Visitors desiring information will apply at the curator's office. No per- son on the siaff of the museum will be permitted to accept any reward or re- muneration for any serv.ce rendered to an exhibitor. Upon certain evenings practical papers will be read and lectures given upon sub- jects of interest, the building community using the musetm exhibits by way of ilustration. It :s considered that accommodation in every way adapted to the requirements of such a museum can be obtained 1n a cen- tral location, In crder to meet the neces- sary expenses it is suggested that a monthly rental of $10 to $15 in advance for each space would be a reasonable and fair charge to exhibitors. For this sum they will be allotted about forty square feet of floor spaca and about sixty feet of wall space. All interested parties are cordially in- vited to make any suggestions that may occur to them in the way of making this museum a trulv representative collectlon and ore capabls of forcibly illustrating the growth of architectural and building work and the ziliea trades. At a meeiing of the local chapter of architects yesterday these plans were favorably considered. ONE WAY 10 GET BOOIS Little James Williams Heard | They Fetched a Very Good Price.
