F.—(Send for Circulare) CH1 Q——: ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 16.—The commit- tee's substitute for Schillig’s coun- ty division bill will come before the Assembly some time next week, and it probably will pass, foriall kinds of county division schemes are be- hind #t and none of the opponents of county division seem to be taking any interest in the measure. The bill is the old Linder bill, introduced in the Legisiature some years ago by Senator Linder. It was remodeled by the committee for its own use, but the salient points of the measure have been retained. Sl is introduced by the committee as a general law in accordance with the pro- Vision of the constitution which provides that the Legislature may pass general laws for the division of counties. It is provided that when a certain sec- | tion of any county wishes to make of it- | self a new county, | county which shall be charged riable penalty of care- |we ing up of the whole | t wonderful aphrodisiac and Speciai | PTOPCTLY. it shall first appeal to the Governor, who shall then appoint a Superior Judge from an adjoining coun- ty to take testimong in regard to the advisability of separation, and to adjust’ debts of the old to the | new one in case separation be allowed. | Upon the showing of the Judgé that the aration s advisable, an election is calie® in the new county to be formed, and if two-thirds of the inhabitants of | the intended county favor separation, then the new county is formed. There is nothing in the bill which allows the par- ent county to have any say in the mat- | ter of separation. Any section with 5000 | population can make application to be declared a new county, and if a favorable | report be obtained from the Judge and | the necess number of votes be gath | ered in, the section can separate from jts | parent county and the parent county need not be consulted. The bill was reported as the Committee on Counties, but as a mat- ter of fact none of the members of the committee except Assemblyman Brough- ton knows anything about the measure, The chairman, Cromwell of Sonoma, knew nothing about the provisions of the bill, and Milice knew nothing even about its presentation as & committes substi- tute. the proportion of _the substitute by P, S L Takes a Pleasant Outing.

She was an orphan, and Shields, who was administrator of her grand- mother's estate, was her gu The will provided that if it became necessary to sell the property to pay debts of the estate Miss Zanker was (o ve cash. The complaint states that the uncle conspired with his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Caroline B: to defraud her of the property.

MENTO, Feb. 16.—The Committee on Fish and Game left to-night on the 11 o'clock north-bound train for Sisson, to_ visit and inspect the State fish hatchery there. To- morrow will be spent in that inspection, and the committee will return in time for the “session of the Assembly Monday morning. GAGE VETOES ATTORNEY GENERAL FORD’S BILL State’s Legal Counselor Is Deprived of an Extra Clerk for His Office. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 16.—Assemblymen are talk- ing of the Governor's veto of Assembly bill 81, and the “horse’ that is on Attorney General Ford as a result. The blll was drawn by the Attorney General, to auth- orize him to angolm an additional clerk for his office, and the reason given for its veto is that the Attorney General neg- lected to codify it. In the aggressiveness shown by Ford {a his advocacy of the mining debris bill there Is a possible explanation of the veto. Some of the legislators closest to Goy- ernor Gage opposed that measure and tho men who fought hardest for it are not high in his esteem. Ford’'s course did not make him more popular with the adminis- |tration, and some are saying that the Gov- | ernor_embraced the opportunity to humili- ate Ford by criticizing the form of his bill. The wider significance of the veto is, that now the precedent is made, all meas- ures that are not codified will be vetoed, unless, possibly, thelr importance shall save them. The Governor's message re- garding Assembly bill 81 concludes as fol- hout expressing any opinion upon the advisability of increasing the present number of clerks in the office of the Attor- ney General, I respectfully call your at- tention to the fact that the proposed act is in the form of a general law, but it re- lates to and should form paft of section 475 of the Political Code of the State, Wwhich section provides for the number of clerks in the office of the Attorney Geu- eral; and there(orab-ccordlng to sections county made the order. Shields’ mother- in-law bought the property for $1400 and afterward transferred it to the defendant, who now holds it. Miss Zanker asks to have the deed seot aside on the ground of fraud and wants $4000 damages for its retention. As evi- dence of premeditated fraud on her uncle's part, !hsxlumfl! recites that a | year ago.the Superior Court of this county set aslde a lease to some land Shields had obtained from her by fraud.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 16.—Two rousing meet- ings of the prune growers were held hers to-day to consider the plan proposed by the directors of the California Cured Fruit Association to borrow $200,000 for advertising and promoting the sales of prunes. They were unanimous for back- ing up the assoclation and maintaining the prices fixed, but the management of the association was severely criticized. At the meeting this ‘morning J. O. Hayes presided. Three hundred growers were present. Out of this number but five opposed granting the power asked for by the directors. Hale's Hall was crowdedythis afternoon. Several hundred growers were turned away. J. H. Henry, who was elected first vice president of the California Cured Fruit Association, but who after- ward resigned because he was not in ac- cord with the policy of President Bond, presided as chairman. E. A. Wilcox was secretary. Representatives from all parts of the county spoke. All were unanimous for malintaining the assoclation, but the | board of directors and President Bond were criticized. They were accused of drawing fat salaries and doing nothing to advance the sale of prunes. Advertis- ing and the o})enlng of Eastern agencles for selling fruit was regarded by most of the growers as their only salvation. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The management of the California Cured Frult Assoclation has asked that the by-laws be changed s as to permit the ex- penditure of association funds for the purpose of advertising; therefore be it Resolved, That we favor asked for. The_action of the growers to-day will have an important bearing on the official meeting of the assoclation called for Feb- ruary 21, when the proposed amendments come up. There are 330 members of the | association,“and it will require 2000 votes to carry the advertising proposition., Al- | most the necessary number reside in this | the amendment valley. Those living outside the county | will have a chance to vote by mall. | e ——— | GERMAN SETTLERS FOR SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY South Dakotans Profit by the Excur- sion Rates Fixed by the | Railways. LODI, Feb. 16.—Excursion rates made | by the Eastern rallway lines are having | thelr effect here. Yesterday five familles | arrived from South Dakota to look for homes in this neighborhood. The party numbered twenty persons. Another party | numbering about a hundred has gone on | to Los Angeles. All are Germans, many of whom speak but little English, and ail | are possessed of money. They will be driven through the surrounding country in order that they may see just what the neighborhood of Lodi has to offer to homeseekers. Already this part of San Joaquin Coun- ty is rapidly settling up with South Da- Kotan Germans, many of whom are 7riends and relatives of the late arrivals. More | than a hundred have located here within the last two vears. They comprise what is known locally as “the German colony."” Each has his small farm, ranging from five acres upward, and a thriftier class never settled here. Their holdings bloom | and_bear continually and are a marvel | to the oldtimer, who never thought of cul- tivating less than 160 acres, and that all in grain. Another company of these immigrants is expected next week, and will probably outnumber those who arrived yesterday. It is reported that several hundred more are preparing to come before the low ex- cursion rates expire. —_—— To Develop Oil Lands.

This may seem a broad statement when it is remembered that few diseases are 80 obstinate to really cure as ‘plles, some physiclans going so far as to say that a painful surgical operation is the only per- manent cure; but the many and remarka- ble cures made by the Pyramid Pile Cure in the past few years have proven that surgical operations are no longer neces- ary, and that it is by far the safest and ost_reliable remedy vet discovered for this common and often dangerous trouble. ‘The harmless acids and healing olls con- tained in the Pyramid Pile Cure cause the biood vessels to contract to a natural con- dition and the little tumors are absorbed anc the cure is made without pain, incon- venlence or detention from business. Dr. Willlams, a prominent official sur- geon, says: ‘It Is the duty of every sur- geon' to avold an operation if possible to gura in any Gther way, and sfter many trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure I un- hesitatingly recommend it in preference to an operation. Mr. Phil Owens of South Omaha writes that after suffering two years from an aggravated case of itching and protrud- ing piles he was cured by a single 50-cent pack of the Pyramid Pile Cure pur- cha from a local druggist. He says: “I fully expected the trouble would re- turn, but am happy to say for the past year and a half have been entirely free from the disease, and I cannot speak too warmly in favor of the Pyramid Pile "\ 51l clerk in one of.the large wholesale houses of St. Louls says: ‘fiy occupa: tion as billing clerk was so confining and sedentary that it finally brought on an aggravated attack of rectal trouble, which my physician diagnosed as itching and protruding piles and recommended a salve which he ?upnred and whichr gave me some rcllef for a_few hours after using a0 then the trouble would come back a8 - One of the other clerks ad- vised me to try the Pyramid Pile Cure and I new feel like thanking him every day for recommending it, as a single 50- o me and I have had no since, something over six months." Hundreds of pile sufferers, who had al- most decided to undergo the pain and d: of an operation, have been aston- ished to find that the Pyramid which can be purchased at any Pl store, as far safer, better and more eftective than an operation could Dossibly be. —* 15 DR.
