Whigh of these three routes is the most feasible is a_matter that the company is now trying to determine. Much will de- pend upon the report of the surveyors. 1 iderstood that the people of Uklah a stropg fight to have the road start from that place, which is now the terminus of the so-called *Picturesque route of California.” It has long been the dream of the Ukiah property owners that some day the company would build to Eureka, which is 18 miles north ol Ukiah, and they figure that if another line is once started from the town it will mt;(z\n ultimately a through route to Eu- reka. President A. W. Foster of the Californta Northwestern said yesterday, however, that an exte n to Eureka was a matter that positively could now. The company's charter will not per- mit the construction of more than sixt more miles of track in Mendocino “Our purpose in building,” he said, largely to reach the timber districts. The question of freight will fizure very promi- nently in determining the starting point for the extension. The passenger traffic is a secondary consideration.” A single track will be constructed and the cost of building the road will be large owing to the mountainous region it will traverse. A good deal of blasting will have to be done and there will have to be several tunnels constructed. NEW IDEA FOR SIGNS WITH NAMES OF STREETS Merchants’ Association Granted Per- | mission to Inaugurate an ‘ Innovation. The Board of Public Works granted per- mission yesterday to the Merchants' As- sociation, which petitioned for the privi- | lege to inaugurate a seties of experiments in a new system of signs_containing the names of the streets. The innovation contemplates the abolition of the board signs which have been hitherto attached | on corner buildings -and the placing of | large-lettered signs near the curbings on the four corners of cross streets. For | that purpose the artificial stone sidewalk will be cut out for a distance of one foot and large wooden letters designating the | names of the streets will be placed in | fresh concrete. After drying, the wooden | letters will be removed and black or col- ored cement substituted. | The plan will be tried at the corner of Post and Kearny streets, and if it meets with favor from the public will be ex- | tended throughout the city. The first ex. | periments will be made at the expense of | the Merchants’ Association, which de- sires to remove the unsightly signs that | disfigure many of the houses. | not be considered et gy An Extraordinary Offer.

Since then good woodwork has been the exception. To be sure a few finely carved specimens have been produced in the middle of this century. but they have been conspicuous as the oases in an artistic desert.

The high state of perfec- tion reached by French tapestries and up- holstering materials led to carelessness in n and design of the frame- the vogue @ttained by work.
