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.

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.
