Committee on Arrangements of G. A. R. Encampment Preparing for Festivities —— WRNTY-FIVE thousand veterans will march in the great street pa- rade that will be one of the big features of the National Encamp- ment of the Grand Army which will be held in this city next August. General Edward 8. Salomon, chaignan of the parade committee, estimates that there will be 150 veterans from New York, 1000 from Pennsylvania, 1000 from I1- linois, 800 from Iowa, 600 from Indiana, 500 from Nebraska and 400 from Minne- sofa. Some of the densely populated sec- tions could not give figures or estimates until after the department encampments, which take place about the latter part of June, though all information indicates | an immense influx of visitors. Ira E. Len- | nett of Washington, D. C., writes under a recent date: “You can look for a mon- ster crowd of G. A. R. people in August. Everything is headed toward Califernia.” Similar lettors have been received from almost every large: city in the United States, and the transportation companies are prepared to handie the largest traffic in the history of transcontinental travel. General Salomon was a member of the executive committee and chairman of the parade committee during the G. A. R. National Encampment held in San Fraa- cisco in 1886, which is remembered as the most imposing parade ever held in San Francisco. He intends to make the main parade one to be remembered for its | grandeur and attractive features. There will be two parades, one composed of vet- erans ‘of the Civil War only. The forma- tion of both parades will be around Union square and the streets leading into Union square from the south. The head of the column will start from the junction of Geary and Powell streets, thence march down Geary to Kearny, to Montgomery avenue, Montgomery street, Market, to Van Ness avenue, up Van Ness avenue and pass in review. This parade will be held on Tuesday, August 18, and will in- clude the full strength of the army and navy stationed in and about San Fran- cisco; all of the National Guard of Cali- fornia, including the naval mlilitia; all military organjzations and companies of this city; all semi-military and uniformed societies, Assoclated Vetcrans of the Mexican War, Spanish-American War Veterans, National Association of -Civil War Musicians, Sons of War Veterans and all kindred and auxillary societies of the Grand Army. THE SECOND PARADE. Novel features In that parade are in- tended to be an agreeable surprise to the people of San Franeisco. The second parade is to be held on the following day, and will be composed en- tirely of the forty-five departments of the Grand Army of the United States, in the order of senlority. The formation and start of the column will be as on the preceding day, but, the length of march will be diminished, as, according to the rules of the Grand Army, it is forbidden to have any parade longer than two miles. Charles E, Wilson, who is acting chair- man of the committee on entertainment during the absence of Chairman Blinn, has outlined a plan of entertaining the vieitors during the encampment which will make encampment week one continu- ous round of festivities. Headquarters have been engaged in every hotel and 1903 STOFS DRANING OF THE DENAND Shasta County Taxpayer Epjoins Auditor ‘Blodgett. Claims It Is Illegal to Use Public Funds to Fight Forest Reserve. —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, June 20.—Judge Head of the Superior Court of Shasta County this morning issued an order restraining Audi- tor Blodgett from drawing his warrant in the sum of $1000 in favor of District At- torney Dozier for the purpose of going to Washington to fight the creation of the proposed forest reserve in Shasta County. The restraining order was made upon complaint of M. T. Hill through his IC-I torneys, Shanahan & Braynard. On March 7 the Supervisors ordered that upon demand of the District Attorney the | County Auditor draw his warrant in the | sum of $1000 from the county general fund | in favor of the District Attorney for-the purpose of going to Washington to fight the proposad forest reserve in this county. M. T. Hill, a prominent property-owner, now prays for an injunctions on the grounds that the order is illegal and void | and an unjust imposition upon the tax-| payers of Shasta County. In accordance with this petition Judge Head issued a | temporary injunction and an order to | Auditor Blodgett to appear next Satur- day and show cause why the injunction | should not be made permanent. —e———— Brings Suit to Break a Will. REDDING, June 20.—W. L. Smith, a lo- cal merchant, died here recently, leaving | an estate valued at $125,000. To-day a lo- | cal resident, known as Mrs. Maggie Mc- | Kinney, but styling herself in the suit as | Mrs. Smith, commenced proceedings to | break the will, which leaves everything to a niece. The contestant claims that she was married to Smith in April, 1892, and, as surviving wife, is entitled to a share of | the estate, Two sisters in Missouri also filed contests to-day, alleging that Smith was incompetent at the time of signing | the will and was under the undue 1nflu- | ence of Mrs. A. G. Boggs, a niece, and sole | devisee. } —_——— San Franciscans Attend the Wedding. | NAPA, June 20.—Miss Bertha May | Boggs, daughter of Mrs. L. H.

They will consist of a | reception tendered by the people of San | Francisco and _California to the Grand | Army of the Republic and the visiting veterans of all wars on Tuesday evening, | August 18, when Governor Pardee, Mayor Schmitz and General Snarter, department commander, will welcome them on behalf of the people and the resident veterans. | On the following night there will be an | informal reception to ail the visiting so- | cleties and a reunion, a promenade eon- | cert, a grand chorus of 500 voices, singing | patriotic and old-time r songs and an | orchestra of fifty-five pleces. On Friday | night, Angust 21, the great campfire of | the veterans is to be held. That is in-| tended to be the event or the encamp- ment.

The fourth national annual encampment and reunion of the National Assqciation of Spanish-American War Veterans will be held in San Francisco during the week | beginning August 17, simuitaneously with the national encampment of the Grand | Army of the Republic, and special sig nificance attaches to the meeting of th younger organization, since the most| strenuous efforts will be made, and with | every indication of success, to consolidate | all the organizations which have sprung from the late Spanish-American War. | The feeling is general ameng all the or-| ganizations which have sprung from the | late war that consolidation is imperative, | if the bodies shall survive, while the con- | ditlons are precisely the same as those which existed immediately after the Civil | | War, resulting ultimately in the forma- | tion ‘of the Grand Army of the Republic, | America’s greatest and most cherished | patriotic socie San Franefsco was se- Jected as the most fitting place to accom- plish the desired end, owing to its promi- | nence in the Jate war, and also because of the meeting of the Grand Army within | its gates at the same time. All personal considerations and selfish interests are to | be obliterated to attain the consolidation | of the veterans of the recent war. The | concessions granted to the Grand Army | will be shared by the Spanish-American | War Veterans, and all men who have | served in the late war in any,capacity are | requested to lend a helping hand in plac- | ing the organization upon a footing which insures permanency. | General McFarland, commanding the | national organization, has issued an or- | der for the fourth annual encampment and reunion of the National Association | of Spanish-American War Veterans in San Francisco during the week begin- | ning August 17, and it Is expected that several thousand members of the order will attend. i | | BEVELED MIRROR music by a chorus choir, under the direc- tion of Professor Blake.
