GRIDLEY, May 19.—B. F. Robinson, a teamster of this place, who makes fre- quent trips from the vailey towns to the mountains, has earned the name of the snakeman among the people up near the | summit and down the whole slope this side. That he has honestly earned the title his latest experience with snakes Is proof. A few days ago while he was hauling a load up through a deep cut in the grade that leads on to Magalia Ridge he noticed several rattlesnakes run into a hole in the side of the cut. He stopped his team and dismounted to kill snakes. The hole was apparently made by the rotting away of an old log, which had been overwhelmed in lava outflow in past ages, and when the cut was made through the side of the hill the workmen tapped the old crevices. Robinson poked into the hole with a pole fully twenty feet long and did not then reach. the end, but he stirred up the biggest nest of rat- tlers that he ever saw. They fairly boiled out of the hole, which they had evidently selected as a permanent home for generations, Robinson slaughtered snakes until he was tired and until they became so thick that he was afraid he would be overwhelmed, when he ran to his wagon, whipped up his team and drove awa; CHICAGO, May 19.—The marriage of Frank A.

No pleasanter automobile outing can be imagined than to run down the coast, | through San Mateo County, along the | well watered oak shaded roadways to San | Jose. The management of Hotel Ven- dome has recently met a decided demand | | by fitting up excellent accommodations | | for automobiles and this combined with the many other attractions is giving the hotel a great name as an | headquarters. No other resort possesses so many fea- tures to attract and entertain as Ven- | dome., Every year something has been | added to meet society demands. The lat- est improvements include the new annex, | adding forty rooms to the hotel, each | with long distance telephone; the lanai, ) automobile 1 | giving a sheltered idling place, and the | enlarged swimming pools. The annex, ex- tending northerly at an angle wheih gives the best results of sunlight and air, | is a welcome addition. It provides not | only many attractive suites, but it gives | & sweep of hallway through the hotel | which will be a delight for evening prom- | [‘enades. The big swimming pools' offer | | here all the sport of the seaside, and in | | the same building are the best bowling | | alleys in California.

VOODLAND, May 19.—J. B. Lippin- cott, consulting engineer of the Geologi- cal Survey and in chargs of all the hy- draulic investigations on the Pacific Coast, and A. L. Chandler, engineer of the survey, were In Woodland to-day, and held a conference with a number of citizens in reference to the work soon to be inaugurated jointly by the State and national Government. Chandler in 1900 made an examination of Clear Lake, Cache Creek Canyon and 1"48:_\' Valley with a view of obtaining da upon which the Government can tase estimates for the construction of reservoirs. There will be a consultation in Sacra- mento on Wednesd: between Messrs. Lippincott and Chandler and the State Board of Examiners. The last Legisla- ture made an appropriation whick wiil be avallable on the 1st of July, which will enable the State to co-operate with the geological survey in the work it has undertaken on this coast. The purpose of the conference is to agree upon plans. It is probable that the first work will be the preparation of.a detailled topo- graphical map. It is also_desirable that the work of measuring the streams and making surveys of reservoir sites in the watersheds of the Sacramento River be continued. Arother feature of the work ghould be an immediate examination into the reserves continually set aside by the Government, and which have provoked such a strenuous controversy, especially in the northern part of the State. It is probable that the character and order of the work and all the details will be con- firmed In Sacramento on Wednesday. |0¥ INTEREST TO PEOPLE | OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Many Patents A; Issued to Califor- nians and New Postmasters Are Appointed.
