Every sa- loonman will be given an opportunity to sign the agreement and those that decline to do so will be declared un- | fair and a boycott will be placed upon them by the union. The Liquor Dealers’ Association has decided to allow its members to act as individuals in regard to the signing of the agreement and it is expected that a number will accede to the de- mands of the union. It is known, however, that a number of the large saloons in the business district will refuse to sign the agreement and the proprietors expect a fight. T. W.

Bolton, superintendent of the grounds @t the University of California, threatens to resign his office if he cannot have his own way in directing the conduet of the campus. Bolton said to-day that the architect’s office of the university had encroached upon his domain in settling upon the work to be done on student labor day and that he may re- sent it by handing in his resignation. Bolton denies the story that his resig- nation was asked for because he had ordered the shooting of any students caught climbing into the windows of the university buildings at night. He says that university authorities have upheld him in this matter. —_——————— Labor Union News.

This will be something of a boon to Chico and in fact the; whole northern portion of the State, for the Government means to spend a large amount of money on the tract of land it will settle upon. This award at last settles the fate of the large number of agricultural dis- tricts of the State that had put forth claims for consideration by the plant introduction bureau. Boards of trades and other commercial bodies all over the State advertised their communities before the bureau and various influ- ences were brought to bear in behalf of | them. Professor A. V. Stubenrauch and J. H. Dorset, representing the bureau, | spent a good deal of time visiting the places and then two weeks ago went to | Washington to confer with the he.lds] of the depgrtment, with the result that | Chico is now announced to be the win- ner. Chico was selected because of its uni- formly good soil surface, its abundance of water and its typically representa- tive California climate. It is at the nerthern end of a great valley and n the center of one of the fargest con- tinuous agricultural strips in the world. Two tracts have been picked out in the | valley for the gardens and one of these | will be turned into the plant introduc- tion garden. Santa Clara was next in the consid- eration of the committee of selection, but its uncertain water supply and variable climate on account of prox- imity to the coast counted against it. In addition to the Chico garden there will be a branch garden at Santa Ana, which will be used for the semi-trop- ical cultures. The tract has not yet been selected, as in the case of Chico. This plant introduction garden will be the only one of its kind in the United States. It will be used to grow plant of all kinds for distribution all over the United States.

The home of Albert and Bertha Hen- nig, which' was threatened with de- struction in the divorce courts, was saved to-day by the two children of the pair. The dispesition of the children brought the parents together this morning, and the joy of their offspring in seeing them once more together caused the estranged husband and wife to forget their personal complaints, and they concluded the session by appear- ing before Judge Ogden and asking that the action be dismissed. Hennig is in the employ of the South- ern Pacific Company, and brought the suit against his wife on account of tales told him by his neighbors of his wife's behavior with other men. These, she proved, had no foundation, and upon her part she was willing to acknowl- edge that her charges of cruelty against him were not of such a serious character that she could not forget and for give them. The Judge made the or- der forthwith. P 1 HIS HEAD OFF WITH GUN | Despondent Man Wanders to Lonely| Spot East of Sunol and Terribly Himself. v Mangles OAKLAND, Feb. 19.~M.
