The workmen to-night gave their employ- ers to understand they would return to work to-morrow morning, and would send representatives to a conference between the union and the employes in San Francisco to-morrow. —_————— FIRE IN GLENN COUNTY FOOTHILLS UNDER CONTROL t he corpus Section of Country Twelve Miles Long by Five Wide Is Swept Clean of Vegetation. WILLOWS, July 15.—The immense fire which raged for two days in the foothills section of Glenn County and which last night threatened thousands of acres of standing grain was got un- der control early this morning. A strong south wind made the work of quelling the flames a difficult task. A strip of country twelve miles long by five wide was swept clean of all vegetation. Very little standing grain was burned. The heaviest loss is to stockmen, whose pastures were destroyed. The fire was started on Wednesday morning by boys, who were | shooting “doves over stubble. The fire was by far the most wide- spread of any field conflagration ever known in the county, and the great loss will fail on hundreds who can 1ll | afford such a setback. e —— WILL REGULATE THE RUNNING OF TRAINS Chicago Aldermen Will Profit by the Awful Results of the Glen- wood Wreck.

Spectal Dispatch VAL July 15.—The new naval | clubhouse this city will be opened and dedicated to-morrow afternoon. | The building, which is one of the most | imposing in Vallejo, is four stories | | high and occupies a site near the water | front, purchaged with the prize money | won in the Spanish-American war by Rear Admiral Bowman H. McCalla, at present commandant of the Mare Is- land Navy Yard. The cornerstone of the clubhouse was laid by President Roosevelt on May 14, 1203, and since then Mrs. Mc- Calla has been the moving spirit in the | great undertaking that is about to be crowned with complete success. She interested friends in San Francisco and in the East in the establishment of a clubhouse near the great Pacific Coast navy yard, somewhat similar to that erected in Brooklyn, N. Y., by Miss Helen Gould and which has proved so popular with the sailors and marlnes on duty in and visiting the tropolis of the Atlantic seab ard. funds were raised and the Ladies’ Aux- iliary societies: of Napa, Vallejo and Oakland ably assisted in helping the great enterprise along. The assistance rendered by George E. Hanscom, chief electrician of the navy yard, in super- | intending the erection and completion | of the new building has been invalu- able. Built at a cost of $62,000, much after the general style of the Gould club- house in Brooklyn, the new structure is provided with a handsome theater, capable of seating 500 persons, a swim- ming pool, shooting gallery, bowling alley, library, gymnasium, numerous bathrooms and showers and a billiard- room. A restaurant, barior shop and laundry will add to the comfort of the patrons. The ing-room is 60x28 feet. On the third and fourth floors, reached by an elevator, are seventy-four sep- arate sleeping rooms and a dormitory containing thirty beds. There is telephone service on each floor and the system of electric lighting is complete and elaborate. The interior finish of the building is elegant. There is every equipment and comfort of a first-class club. The object of the club- house is to furnish to the men of the navy food, accommodation and amuse- ment. for what the service costs. John 8. Tichenor, national secretary of the Naval Young Men's Christian Association, has arrived here from the ast and will arrange for the organi- zation of a local branch of the associa- tion which will assume the manage- ment of the new clubhouse. With him came J. J. Squires, from the Seamen’s Clubhouse at Brooklyn, who will have | the superintendence of the clubhouse. A large party of San Franciscans will be here Saturday forenoon and be entertained at lunch by Admiral and Mrs. McCalla at Mare Island. The dedication exercises will be held at the new clubhouse at“3 p. m. The programme includes music by the Mare Island Station Band, the dedication | service, conducted by Rt. Rev.

After a lengthy discussion it was de- cided that those who were eligible to become active members of an institute cannot become an associate member.

His enterprise may be { followed on a much larger scale by J | L. Coerper, who has applied to the Ter- ritorial Government for a lease of the well-known Diamond Head crater. { Coérper came here from Germany and is a good judge of soils. He has made up his mind that the choicest products of orchard, vineyard and trucly patch can be raised in abundance in the Dia- mond Head crater. Coerper is espec- ally smitten with the idea of cultivat- ing a vinevard of such grapes as grow at the home of his boyhood. And wa- termelons would grow with impunity, for the crater is bug-proof and beetle- free. No worm has ever been known \to creep up its calcined walls and no moth or winged insect ever rises above the rim of the crater except to be hurled far out to sea by the winds which blow from Kaimuki. A vegeta- ble garden in Diamond Head crater would, therefore, be insured for time against pests and gist would be required on the pa Coerper, who has a practical eye, vroll. has | figures that a pack trail to the summit surveyed the Diamond Head steeps, and | | would cost less than $1000. Up this pack | | trgil would go the seeds and cuttings | tof start the isolated farm. Down the trail would come long lines of burros | laden with the fruitage of foresight and toil, to the Honolulu market. The application for a lease of Dia-| | mond Head has not been acted on yet, 3 | but awaits its turn with other import- jant matters in the land office. | ————— VEGETATION THRIVES | IN KILAUEA'S CRATER Evidence of Fertility Taken to Indi- | cate That Subterranean Activity | Is Waning. HONOLULU, July 3.—Trees, lantana j and other shrubs are sprouting inside the crater of Kilauea. This Is unusual. It is taken as an indication that the subterranean activity is decreasing and that the sulphur and other poisonous gases are not being emitted in such | quantity as previously. There are | various steam eracks about the im- mense floor of the crater and steam is always coming out of these, the heat | in some of them being intemse. Many of these cracks are reported now to be dead, and this would account for the | growth of trees and shrubbery in the | crater. On the other hand, smoke has been coming out of the inner crater of | Kileauea during the last few days. The | volcano had shown little activity re- | cently, but there appears to be re- | newed quantities of smoke coming | forth every morning. { —_——— ;RAILRO.\D PROPERTY IS DESTROYED BY FLAMES | Baltimore and Ohio Grain Elevator !
