OTIIKH Altm I. A SlrTA HaNCB, Thru mllM from San Jose, Cal. Editor Ouard:-I remember once -I..-U..IUH Uif inoniii ol August at a fruit farai iitar Kreino. It made sev eral dlflkTtnt -luipresslons; one that a hereafter for the ungodly, as pictured by n.me religions, could never hold further terror for mo arter the heat I etidund at that time; another, tbe Kuowledgo I gained, physical aud mental, of California frulta. It seemed so colossal that I felt Impelled to writs volumes on "How to grow Uruea" etc. Fortunately, I refrained, or ai some one says, 1 stopped befere I be gun; but the incident came te mind this morolnffi while sitting oua fence DM watching the wonderful herds of Hulstein cattle, i that this ranch Is fa mnus for i and uh I chatted with my liundsomc blond" host and his fine fair wife, w ho ranch fur lovo of It, not for what there is In it, I wondered if all I had heard with mine ear nnd wen with mine eye glasses of Uolsteins in general and i he Burke breed In par ticular, would seem as interesting to theCiUAKD as to me. The btuutiful black and white crea tures, so strong beyond our strength, so mighty In lb ignorance of their power, peacelully grazing: Hudi'euly, we were trun'porUd to Mexico, for a bull IIkIiI was on for my espeblal ben efit, ordered for me, or K my host said. two tiny voting bulls fought tlercely for fifteen minutes. Then tha toreador interrupted the performance but in that short quarter of an hour I experienced all the excitement of the real tiling, with some of the gory de tail. This Is truly a place of rest; no high winds, and though the lovely Hanta Clara valley is devastated by drought aud the dust is already thick on the highway and byway, while a water famine t-houl with greedy eye Is glar ing on this glorious land of plenty, still the time is not yet. A few months later will tell a diderent tale. Feed is very scarce One woman, a widow, had her thirty cows, feeding by the public road side, as we drove out from the depot. The thoughts of war are grisley enough, and that grip la already on the people it deposesaes and disheart ens, and when want and a little pov erty arc added to it, California, that has always had more climate than anything else, not only in quantity but likewise in quality, stands aghast at t lie sad muddle, made this season in the apportionment of raiu. I am told there will not bo one-eighth of the regular crop harvested. I overheard and old Irish woman say: "Why folks is so poor these days they just tell of it." Could we sink lower in the esti mation of some people than to tell o' their troubles and sorrows? Ban Jose is a town of Swiss architec ture and rose, going down the broad Alameda, "with the languorous soeat of the lotus filling tbe atmosphere, I ii culled a few words once uttered by Joaquin Miller with all reverence, as hu lay beneath the trees one sunshiny summer Sunday: "Ah, God is a gen tleman!" Its all very well to assume a medesl stillness and humility when tbe blast of war blows In over us. How can we poor weak women do anything but sit and fold our hands and fuss and fret when the government scorns us even as nurses? I've met some martial young females in California who had not only their aims aud aspirations but their trunks of bandages aud bad doses nicely packed aud reudy for the fray and front. They are furious at the af front put up hi them and want to start for Spain Instantly to avenge their in sulted womanhood. Dear me! It is almost dangerous to say Spain under your breath unless you do It in a fcelig erent spirit. The staid and most prop er Pacific Uuiou cub of Ban Francisco, the club where no female woman has ever or can ever set foot, composed ol millionaires and near it, almost dis charged the bitter major domo, chief aud steward, because the o her day at luuchcou the menu read among tbe other sutreen "Tripe-Spanish style," they now serve it "a la Amerlcaiue" and still we sometimes hear there ia nothing In a name. Was that not a specimen of bravery and pretence of mind when the drummer In the orches tra at the time of the Melba concert during the terriflo panic that ensued on account of the fire in an adjoining building, pluying a clear march led the people almoi-t by will power to follow him quietly from the theater. He is u man (bey need in battle, be has greatness In him, it was dramatic and they cay the stirring drum music was irresistible. We simply had to keep time. The proceesiou of the soldiers from the fresidlo down Market street U the Way to Cbickaujautfa was a MaJ Impressive sight. Tbe crowden either siue oi the street was stupendous Tbe soldiers, sober faced most ef them, tlrred fo energy a dormant patriotic Im pwas in inn numan frame and with It ths agoalzlDg knowledge that all may net return, I notice the Eugene boys are In Portland; brave laddies! They will be aa honor te their home but no one will be more anzloue for their welfare than Thk Wandirir. KOAII COMKACT. Ljoae Bros Will Build tbe Read Into Bohemia Mines. The contract for bulldlog a road from Sharp's Creek into the Bohemia mines was signsd last Friday, betweeu J W Cook, superintendent of tbe Mu sic mine, for the companies of tbe dis trict, and Lyons Broe, contractors. The sum to be paid for tbe work is t3'X0, and the contractors are to in clude in their receipts the ubsoriptions secured for thie parpoee. The contract stipulates that Lyons Bros, shall build four miles of road, commencing at Hardscrabble grade, aud working toward tbe mines, The remaining one and one-half milee will be built by the miners. Thie contract lnturea a good road Into the miues, a thlag badly needed aud one that will prove of no Incon niderable benefit. For vears strenuous efforts have been made to have a sub stantial aud permaueot highway built to this district, but until the undis puted richness of the Bohemia district was forced upon the people by such Hue paying properties ae the Music mine, and the substantial improve meute being ereoled at other mines. only a disinterested regard for the dis trict was manlieated. At this time however, (tie interest shown is con siderable, and the Bohemia mines will soon rank high as a producing district. Ileal Estate Transfer.

Washington, DC, Ma i 14; 5:60 p m At a cabinet meeting today It was decided to call tot one hundred thous and more volunteers in case (ho naval battle should be unsucceKsful. The Rejected Men. From the Telegram: Necessarily much bitter feeling is prevalent among tbe rejected militiamen. It is hard enough to be deprived of the privilege of serving their country, and harder still to have lost good positions. "I joined the guard" lemaiked a private from Eugene, "with the ex pectation of doing service when my oompauy was called for. I have paid money out or my own pocket to main tain my place in the guard. When the preeident'a call came, like others I believed the militia would go as a wh le. That's what we drilled for. I abandoned a $75 Job and paid out $10 for an outfit te look decent, as no appropriation bad been allowed tbe guard, and we were in pretty bad shape Then came the mustering In. In stead of mllitiameu, It seems the Unit ted States wanted only men physically perfect. I am not blaming the govera meat but It ie kind of hard on the boys rejected. I feel at preoetit as tbougli I never want to shoulder a gun again. I am out my time, money and worst of all, my position." This Is one of many similar cases. Borne of the rejected men declare they will never again Join the militia. A BATH TUB. Who Shall Pay for it I Chapman or the Staler" Editor Guard; Shall the state pay fer a porcelain bath tub for the ex clusive use of C H Chapman or shall be be compelled to pay for it? This is now quite a question. Chapman lives In the old Collier residence on tho campus In which Is the library, so he does not have to live In Ihe confines of Eugene. A couple of mouths ago he Intimated to the board of regcuts that the state (which Is paying him $3,000 per year to destroy tho school) should furnish him an expensive por celain bathtub at the expense or the commonwealth. 'Ihe regents, so we are Informed, told him they could not legitimately furnish him witli said tub. Tbeu the tub was purchased and ordered put In and now hapman Is trying by every means to liavo the. re gents pay for It. Will the regents allow this would be Czar to force them Into paying for il? That's the question. 1 understand that the bill whh con tracted about two mouths ago. A BaUDHH Buck Lambs for Sale 11 head of thoroughbred Costswold buck lambs for sale.

The various letters and packages now going from this city to members of company ( ', are misdirected In o many instances that Post master Hen derson desires all to note one fact, I. e: Presidio is a postolllce and mall should not be addressed "bun Francis co, Presidio."
