Democrats Would Welcome Renomination of Governor by Republicans. Governor Gage's supporters assert that the talk of Flint's strength in South- ern California is all moonshine, but | there ms to be a difference of opinion on this topic. It Is al significant fact that in the news col- umns of the Los Angeles Herald that a | ¥lint Club was organized recently in the | Sccond Ward of that eity. Thirty charter | members signed the roll. The avowed ob- | ject of the club is to advocate and work | for the election of Thomas Flint for Gov- ernor. R. G. Livingston was elected pres- icent and Charles Wilde secretary. A. C. . Shilling were elected vice It is up to the Gage men now to put u counter organization into the field of the sunny south. State Senator M. Belshaw, who is journeving hither | from Washington, is about due in Los Angeles, where he vroposes to tarry for ! while. It is sald that Sepator Flint will meet Mr. Belshaw in the City of els and the two Senators will listen to st stions from ex-Senator Bulla. It would not be surprising if Flint, Belshaw | and Bulla dismantled some of the fences recently mended by Dan Kevane and Walter Parker. Legion of Democratic Candidates. 1If G gets the Republican nomination for Governor there will be a legion of Democcrats ready to run against him. Democratic politicians assert that he is the easiest mark in sight. A Republican at the Palace Hotel yesterday asked this question: What wou! nominate a happen if the Democrats should ote-getter like Dick Beamer to Gage? The question was answered by the ask- ing of another: What would happen if the Republicans should nominate a vote-getter like Ed Colgan to run against Beamer? The Democrats of Los Angeles regard | hington Dodge of San Francisco as | best fitted their party | e next State campaign. Singular as | may seem the San Francisco Demo- s, and notably the Iroauois warriors, | look upon Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles as one possessing the winning qualities of | ieadership. In the country the Democrats | talk of Beamer and Jeter. The report comes to the Gage camp that | Dr. Pard over the bay in Alameda | County. is diligently engaged in the work | of lining up a solid delegation for himself. | ASES FOR MAINTENANCE OF YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS Superintendent Lewis of Boys' and Girls’ Aid Society Says Appro- priation Is Insufficient. perintendent -H.

While masters of high finance have hag- | gled over the possession of the California and Nevada Railroad, the system has been stripped of its rolling stock by land pirates. The receiver of the road has fust awakened to the fact that the detach- able parts of the one locomotive on the line have been carried away plecemeal from the Emeryville roundhouse. The cars have gone ‘to pleces and the' theft of the engine completes the dismantling of the terminal. The larcenists have worked quietly and left no trace of their identity to guide the officials, who are at a loss to know whether engine No. 1 has been revamped for service on another iine or sold as junk. The road was formerly equipped “with several passenger coaches and a number of flat cars. The coaches were little used and were long agn mutilated and plun- dered. The use of the flat cars extended at fitful intervals until a recent date. They were used in hauling hay from the San Pablo Valley. The loss of the engine came. to light when Receiver Burton recently ordered et & Co.

The Chronicle contends that the suc- cess of American combines is not due to the intrinsic merits of the system, but to capable and energetic management. and fhat Great Britain is pinning its faith to a system of monopoly without imitating the energy which has worked such won- ders in the United States. Rumors were current in Sheffield and -Barrow-in-Furness ‘{es(erday of the in- tention of the British Government to pur- chase the shipbuilding yards of Vickers Sons & Maxim and to establish a naval dock yard at Barrow-in-Furness. These rumors have been denied, but it is the neral idea that there is a substratum of fruth in them, and that negotiations to this end are proceeding. Snp—e——— ‘Heath Replies to Complaint.

ARMY OFFIGERS GIAL AUNS FROM SELEGT A SITE| ~ SAVAGE PURGUER to Have a Military Camp. Santa Margarita Rancho Is Reported to Be the Choice. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Jan. Z—T. T. Crittenden, one of the gentlemen whe ac- companied Generals Young, Kobbe and Randall while these latter were examining the various sites offered in this county for a military camp, is in receipt of defi- nite though unofficial information that the committee will recommend the beautiful Banta Margarita rancho, some eleven miles north from this city. It has been understood since the visit of the commit- tee to this county that the proposed camp was to be located somewhere in this county, but nothing definite was known. The tract to be recommended has long been famous as one of the most beauti- ful tracts in California. The surface is varied, about 6000 acres are level, 400 acres are undulating and several thousand acres range from hilly *to mountainous. Of the 20,00 acres required 18,300 acres are the property of Ferdinand Reis, a capitalist of San_ Francisco. The balance will be taken from the lands_of J. H. Henry, joining on the north. The price to be paid is 318 per acre. The Santa M than a year ago late General fore his death it passed into the hands of Ferdinand Rels through its former own- er’s inability to meet a mortgage of $145,~ 000 and advances. The ranch is situated on the line of the Southern Pacific just over the Santa Lu- cla range. It is watered by the Salinas River, Clenega, Rinconada and Santa Margarita creeks, all never-failing streams. Along the northeasterly slope of the Santa Lucia range the rainfall is arita rancho until less as the property of the the heaviest in the county, and not even | in the dryest yvears has if been necessary i to remove the stock from it. Well water can be had on probably half }’éfihfi ranch at a depth of less than twenty gether with the quantity of water on the tract, was a strong factor in causing its | selection. OIL COMPANY SELLS LARGE 1LOT OF PROPERTY LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.—One of the | largest deals in oil circles that has been consummated in many months has just been concluded. The deeds were filed in Los Angeles County January 22, and cording to the indentures, the Union Oil Company has sold to the Mission Trans- portation and Refining Company all of its pipe lines in Los Angeles County, with all rights of way, franchises, bridges, storage tanks, pump houses, pumping plants and machinery appertaining to these pipe lines, together with all other propertles used in connection with oil re- fir;_l%.

As I saw that it was a man straightening up from a crouching position by the fence I started to run, the man chasing me and gradually gaining on me. Just as it seemed that he would catch me almost at my own gate a wagon drove around the. corner ana he disappeared as mysteriously as he came. “I burst into the house and then I don’t remember very well what happened for a while.

I am sure | he was short and dressed in 3 dark suit, and he seemed to have a very small face, | ghastly pale. I feel positive that he was not insane. He sald nothing and made no seund nor any attempt to strike me. Just as the wagon came in sight we were passing a barn and I noticed that one of the doors was open. I think he must have dodged In there when he saw the wagen. “Part of the time I ran in the midd! of the muddy street and I was too frigh ened to pay any attention to the wats and mire.” Residents Are Alarmed.
