YOUNTVILLE, May 8—This has | been an interesting day at the Veter- ans’ Home. by Seven Pines Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R, and by the Associated Veter- ans of the Mexican War. A number of \the latter arrived at the home Satur- | day night and provided for the veter- \ane a fine entertainment under the di- | rection of Mme. Ellen Coursen-Roeckcl. | It was given in commemoration of the | fitty-eighth anniversary of the battle of Palo Alto, the first engagement of | the Mexican War, May 8, 1846. The | programme consisted of operatic selec- ! | | tions by Elizabeth and Eric Thistleton; Davis, Maria and Marie Roeckel. An address was made by Major E. A, | Sherman, vice president of the Associ- | | ated Veterans of the Mexican War. l There were in the neighborhood of | seventy visitors to-day. During an en- | { | tertainment in Social Hall a flag was | | presented to the home by the visiting | | Jadies. Mrs. Henrletta Howe, presx-} | dent of the circle, made the presenta- | | tion speech. The flag was received on | | behalf of the members by Colonel | | George W. Walts, commandant of the home. Major Sherman said: “Members of our committee and my- | self wish to express our appreciation | | of the management of your home. We | | have been here since yesterday evening jand have made a thorough examina- tion of everything here. The adminis- | tration of affairs and all in charge here | are deserving of the highest praise and | gratitude of both the veterans of the Mexican War and of the war for the | Union for the contentment on the part of the inmates. Nothing is to be de- sired for additional comfort or food. There is not a single comvplaint from | any source, but all speak kindly and | | gratefully of the treatment they re-! | ceive. Evervthing possible is done to make it a hapny home and a cheerful | resting place until all are finally mus- tered out, and we commend to the at- tention of the citizens of California that ther come here. They will be proud that the home in the Golden State is ecual if not superifor in com- | fort to any home In the United States. Mme. Roeckel and her young charges then gave the veterans another treat | with their delightful singing.

Of course a special car, equipped for | the use of the committee, was the firet thought, and this was duly provided. Then the unique programme that had been figured out was unrolied. It com- | prised u series of free band concerts to be given in a great number of Cali- ! | fornia cities in the interior, also free | entertainments, with accompanying | mu by night, at which views of nta itry were to be thrqwn by a stere- opticon upon a screen in public squares. a spectacular dally parade, one day in jone place and another day in another | piace, one whole day to be given to | each town or city to be yisited, and the free distribution of literature and of trinkets calculated to best adverth | Santa Cruz. One of these trinkets was a small affair that can be snapped in imitation of telegraphic apparatus, and was greatly coveted by boys. and girls everywhere. On this was an inscrip- tion: “Your summer vacation will be a snap if spent in New Santa Cruz.” The word “new” was justified by the new things that Santa Cruz has pro- Santa | of | of visitors that are expectel | Cruz and of the surrounding | be ful. On the back of the mirror were the words: “Take a look at you:- self now and at New Santa Cruz dur ing your summer vacat The mir- rors and snaps ‘were provided to the number of many thousands, so that every one in ev y town or city visited might get at one.

A | great amount of literature was put in | the special car, where it could be eas- ily reached; then, with a final tune, the party were off. Boys were in the party | to attend da to the proper distribu- tion of the literature. As the proce »n was in Santa Cruz, 80 it was everywhe:> else along the line of travel. The whole outfit had the style of a company of visiting min- strels. The band had its glittering drum major and they played on the march and also at the long series of concerts that they gave with vim and skill. { | o panied r, LOOK AFTER DETAILS. Nothing seemingly had been left to chance. It was arranged so that, hours before the daily concerts by the band, concert programmes, which were | carefully fellowed, were distributed broadcast among the public. Some | time before the train was to reach any place where a stop had been sched- | uled, dispatches were sent forward to | the newspapers of the town or city and also to the Mayor, Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce or other repre- sentative body of the approach of the Promotion Committee of Santa Cruz. Delegations from Boards of Trade and Mayors therefore met the committee and its band at the railway stations. Santa Cruz was reportel to be all right and the committee “made good” on this statement as soon as possible. The interior newspapers gave space to the Santa Cruz committee. In return the newspaper offices were serenaded by the band. Where was anything left out of this programme? The general plan was to reach a town in the forenoon and then to march with all possible show to the hotel that had been selected. During this march the distribution of literature regarding Santa Cruz and also the concert pro- grammes and announcements for the day were given out, this distribution 1t | Road Through County of Sonoma.

Hendricks, secretary of the Oro- 5 ville Chamber of Commerce, has pre- pared a statement in which certain damaging stories are refuted. This is in part as follows: The dredging proposition is simply this: By those who have no knowledge of dredging, it | was thought possible that Oroville would be dredged. In an effort to extend Pomona ave- nue, which is the last street in the Smith & Tucker Addition, through the De Lancte Tract, this proposition has been made use of by those favoring the extension to Incite co-operation. The De Lancie Tract is under lease to be dredged and the effort to open Pomona avenue is of course being resisted by the dredging people. Should the street not be opened, about two acres north of the line of Pomona avenue will be dredged, but he{e the dredging of Oro- ville will cease, excent that several lots in the Veach Tract, which adjoins the De Lancie Tract, which were inundated meveral times during last winter, and which have Inexpensive | cottages on them, Will be mined, The reason that dredging will stop here is simply that they cannot pay the prices which would be asked for the homes that would be for sale.
