When the train pulled in the big whistle at the water works gave the signal, and | all the rest of the whistles in the city broke loose like a steam calliope in a cir- | cus parade. Bells joined in the bedlam of | sound. Every tin horn that could be | bought in the city screeched its unearthly | sound, and men and women shouted and cheered, while the boys whistled and velled. It was not a Morosco gallery crowd, but it had striking points of re- | semblance to that nightly gathering, and it was plain to be seen that the city youngster is not the only one who com- prehends the use of the mouth as 2 noise- generator. | But the real thing—the featura of the sight which may be remembered lonz after the small boy has grown tomanhood | ana stopped bhis hideous whistling—was | the tick:ed old farmer ard his family here | and there, peering over the crowd as. best their natural modesty could, their faces | simply bathea in ecstatic smiles. The | farmer and his comrades realized at the moment that they were gazing upon the beginning of a train service which was to save them §25,000 in freights during the | first year of its.existence. e Tulare farmer is a farmer sui gen- er He is a little older and = little more experienced tban his brethren in and about Fresno.

Toe parade headed up School street | from the train, and swung down from that street to Armory Hall, where it was v organized. Thence, led by the | band, it followed a circuitous route, which might easily have prevaiied upon an unsuspicions visitor to believe that he had been marchingin a metropolis. | General Muller and staff of Fresno and Colonel Wright and staif of Fresno led the first division, which was composed of Company E, Company F and Company C, | and the Hundred Tnousand Club of | Fresno. | Visalia figured in the second division, having given the visitors the place of| honor. Following the Tulare band was ! the Visalia Fire Department, the Porter- | ville and Tulare departments and other | visiting firemen. The fire laddies are as important to a country parade as the| regulars are to = metropolitan parade. A.0.TU.

The Visalia branch, from Fresno south, was begun 1n March of this year, but track- Jaying was not commenced until July. The ficst rails reached the edge of Visalia August. Two miles of | track in one day was the bizgest record of Mr. Williams preferring soliaity to mileage. People who have traveled the completed road say it is as smooth as the New York Central and equal 10 a speed of seventy miles an hour. t is built for sixty miles. The afterncon match game of baseball was a lively one—red hot at times. A great crowd witnessed it and enthusiasm bubbted nv in every portion of the grounds. At the end of the Seventh inning tue scors stood 3 to 4 in favor of the Visalians, bnt at this point the Fresno boys aid not like a decision of the umpire and threw up the game. ‘Ihe militia made a creditable showing at a dress parade in the afternoon, follow- ing the rames and sports. From supper hour until time for the evening exercises— the speeches and the ball—the crowd w. entertained with more music fr bands. Both the Tulare and the Haniord bands are excelient orgunizations, which :pxglni be heard with favor in larger cities. Tue city’s first illuminaied bicycle parade took place in the evening.

VISALIA, CiL., Sept. 9.—The hour of 8 o’clock had come in a brilliant woonlight to-nizht when the people of the valley and the officets of the Valley road got together to exchange formal compliments and speches. The crowd before the Court- Louse was large enough to tax the voice ot a Bryan.

The parade was managed very smoothly, and much credit is due to the grand marshal for his clever work. A long and arduous night’s work had brought the barbecue meatstoa state fit | for the lords of cnivalry and more fit for the yeomanry of an American county | seat. Beef and pork and mutton, cooked, seasoned and basted under the expert direction of Sam Noell, were piled four | feet high over tLe smoldering pit, and for | once barbecue meat was eaten with a | relish as well as with the usval craze for novely. The crowd was regulated with extra- ordinary success by the volunteer police force, and by this means the distributors were able to supply every one with viands. Over 5000 pounds of meat was given away, the quantity being twice as large as had been consumed in any preceding barbecue. Members of the visiting fire and militia companies were entertained independent- 1v of the barbecue by the members of the local companies. More prominent visitors were the guests of the committee of arrangements. Besides the general crowd of celebrants there had arrived on the first train almost | a half-car full of Valley Railroad officials | and guests. There were Robert Watt, | vice-president; Captain A. H. Payson, second vice-president ; J. D. Spreckels, J. A. Hooper and Charles Holbrook, direc- | tors; Lovell White and O. D. Baidwin, | trustees; Frank H. Power and Donald J. Campbell as guests. Then there were the ofticers of the operating depsrtment—Al- exander Mackie, secretary; W. B. Storey Jr.. chiel engineer and reneral superin- tendent; Jonn Moss, trafic manager; W. . Edes, principal assistant engineer; A. D. Sehincler, division superintendent, and J. T. Williams, division engineer. Tue officers took potiuck with the bal- ance of the crowd, and ‘‘were one of them.” This fact was noted by the peo- le at the station in Visalia, ana it went a ong way toward putting the Valley road fartber into ponular favor, if that were possible, than it has stood siace it. began to run 118 rails into the lower S8an Joaquin | Valley. Engine 4 instead of engine 3was run tirouch at the tug end of the train. It was under the guidance of big W. T. Gardner, the engineer who has done the burden ot the work on the construction from Fresno down. With him was Fire- min J. W.Cass. Conductor “Jim” Sax. ton was in charge of the train, assisted by Brakemen C. W. Ramsey and 8. Cald well. Assistant Chief of Construction E. A. Trencano accompanied the excursion with Chief Williams. The rua through was made without a | break, thanks to the carefulness with | which the track had been laid. It has been the consistent plan of Chief of Con- struction Williams to lay tte roadbed in such fashion that there would be no back opened the meeting with a brief and terse speech, alluding to the cavse of tke day’s jubilation. He stated that the assembly had veen gathered to celebrate the fact that Visalia was “‘on the map,’”’ thanks to the San Jozquin Valley Railwey. He in- troducea Hon. Willlam H. Alford as the spéker of the day. Mr. Alford becan-with a brief review of the early beginning of Visaiia: He called atlention to the fact that Visalia was the only town in the vallev not built by a rail- road. “The sole cause of this celebration,” said he, "is that the incoming railroad will lift some of the burdens that rest up- on the trade of this commurity. Life here is NOW to be easier, man is to have more time for tne ggod thingsof life. Mankind is elevaited jlist as fast as the burden is lifted from the patient shoulder of trade.”” Mr. Alford recurred at some length ora- torically to the history of trade from Pheenicia down to Great Britain. His eu- logy of trade was br.lliant and protracted. “It was and it is trade,’” declared he, *‘and trade alone to which we must as- cribe the grandeur of the progress of oar own country. Thought flies where com- merce flies before ideas light the path of trade. In its Jast analysis the question of trade is the question of human iiberty. A competing railroad reduces the tax by lowering the freight, a legisiature in- creases the tax by charzing more for pro- duction. The same is done by city coun- cils, This is the enslavement of ‘rade. We are free in every other way. Now let us not rest until the prophecy made by the arrival of thie Valley road is fuifilled and we have siricken all the feiters from our trade.” Coione! Frank H. Powers of the law department of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad was then introduced. Mr. Pow- ers said in part: There could be no body of men, directors of any enterprise, who would not bé proud and grateiul for such a reception as this. But it wouid be worse than presumption for us to think it personai or even intended entirely as a conipliment to the great enierprise we reu- resent. The directors appreciate that they are but the representatives of a railroad which hes beeu bLuilt as a people’s road by the people’s money to serve the people’s wants made necessary by the crying needs of the pro & peopie in the interior of Sau Joaquin Vailey, and that this reception is practicaily a mutual jubiiation over the completion of oue stage of the peoplie’s solutlon of the tramsportation guestion.

Dean Swift said, “He who makes two bledes ol grass grow where one grew before is a bene- factor.” Our pioheer fathers, now fhat they have got over the spell of the gold fever which first brought them here, #are begivning to learn the lesson pronounced by that greut thinker. Agticulture, not mining, is now the basis of our prosperity. The jame of our guld is eclipsed by that of our wheat and our fruits.

Leading Citizens Tell of the Bene- fits to the Town and Country. VISALIA, CaL, Sept. 9.—The following question was put by THE CALL correspond- | ent to a number of representative business men of Visalia: “What, in vour opinion, does the com- ing of the Valley road mean to Visalia?’ Their answers are as follows: A. Levis, merchant—It means that in-| side of twelve months the population of the town will increase 25 or 30 per cent. ft will have the tendency to build up th> town, and it will bring into tue 1mme- diate community many small landholders to improve the country. Supervisor J. W. Thomas—It means lib- | eration from ecommercial thralldom. It means the transportation of the varied producis of this part of the valiey fora | fair compensation instead of for “all the traffic will bear.” It will enhance the value of all our property. William Kettner, insurance agent and real estate cealer—It means an increase in our population in three years to double what we have now. H. Levinson—The coming of the Valley road means that this town will soon b2 the best interior town in the valley. I don’t believe we can conceive the benefits. Ben W. Maddox, eaitor Times—It means that people can engage in farming, fruit-growing, stock-raising, merchandis- ing and manufacturing without baving the Southern Pacific for a side partner. In other words, it means that the railroad monopoly is at an end in Tulare County. W. "B Wallace, attorney-at-law—The Valley road will increase the value of all property in this city and surrounding country, and I believe there will follow a marked prosperity for the whole county. Judge W. W. Cross, late of ihe Superior Court—It means a reduction of freizhts and fares that leave funds sufficient to cap- italize tnis part of the country. These funas baye been taken from us heretofore. Major W. H. Hammond—1t means we're on the map. It meansa continuation of the prosperity that has just struck us and anew and long era of it. It means mucn that is gratifying and agreeable to us ali. Death of David 8. McCarthy. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 9.—David 8.

Penhaliow, arrived to-day, twenty- six days from St. M.cba:l. She brouzht no passengers and no treasure. Captain | Penhallow reports that very little freight has been taken from St. Michael up the river this season as compared with the re- ported demands for and scarcity of food and provisions at Dawson City. The cap- tain says that the littie steamers at pres- ent plying on the Yukon are wholly inad- equate. They can carry only a small por- tion of the freight transferred at St. Michael for Dawson City. Alf the warehpuses at the landings are full, na passengers who have reached that point en route to the goldfields are all put to work at little or no salary con- structing warehouses in which their freight may be stored to protect 1t from the elements until the river opens to enable them to go up the next summer. Captain Penhailow says that not one man in twenty at St. Michael will get up the river this fall, and that there are no quarters at St. Michael where they can be boat ties up there as a hotel uniil the river opens next summer. The Alic2 Cook’s officers say that 1f the earth affords a more lonely or desolate spot than St. Michael it has not been their misfortune to land in it 1nall their careers as seafaring men. Just previous to the sailing of the steamer Queen for Alaska last night cus- toms officers made a scizure of thirty gal- lons of whisky. The owner was not posi- ed on the revenue laws and appeared to claim the goods. He was ut once arrested by the custems officiais and released on his own recognizance. He tarried not for the investigation, but left on the Queen. A good story is told in connection with the seizure of whisky ana bar goods made on the Al-Ki two days ago. The owners of the goods which were confiscated after- ward sent fifteen men ashore with money to buy whisky in quart botties. This was done and the bottles were smugglea aboard nnder loose-fitting mackinaws and miners’ shirts. VICTORIA, B.

Work in Which the Naval Attache of { the Spanish Legation Has Been Engaged. NEW YORK, N.

Bebrzl, naval attache of the Spanish legation at Washington. In a report from Captain V. B. Abbott, in charge of the Government work at Charjeston, S. C., Lieutenant Sebral is named as the man who has been engaged in this work. Lieutenant Sebral is not a member of the diplomatic corps and is not, therefore, subject to a demand for recall, uniess it can be shown that he has violated some statute respecting the safe guarding of our fortifications. It is shown that the naval attache has actuaily been guilty of this breach of etiquette and that the Govern- ment is investigating Secbral’s recent maovements, LONDON, Exc., Sept. 9.—The Daily Mail this morning, in an editorial on the { reported preparations in the United States | for a fight with Spain warns the Ameri: can Government and the Americans that they had better content themselves with writing warlike articies and firing Fourth of July tquibs instead of running into | battle with *‘stupid Europeans who mean business and fire real bullets.” gt Free of Tonage Duty.
