The new general road law, which passed the last Legislature and has been approved by the Governor, is as follows: The Board of Supervisors shall divide the county into suitable road districts and each Supervisor shall be ex-officio Road Commissioner in his supervisor district and shall see that all contracts and orders pertaining to roads and bridges are promptly executed. After the first Monday following the first day in January, 1893, the office of road overseer shall be abolished. The Supervisors may cause highways to be surveyed, laid out, recorded and opened, abolish or abandon such as are not necessary, contract, purchase or otherwise acquire right of way over private property for the use of public highways; advertise for sealed bids for keeping in order and repair all roads. IRRIGATION BONDS. RESULT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO CONFERENCE—THE CLEARING-HOUSE TO TAKE ACTION—BONDS REGARDED AS A GOOD INVESTMENT. The conference of the moneyed men of San Francisco with representatives of the various irrigation districts for this purpose of deviing some means of getting a market for the bonds, the sale of which is to provide funds under the Wright law to carry on the works of irrigation, was held at the rooms of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday of last week. The meeting was well attended. The bonds are reported as being a tempting investment to San Francisco capitalists, if the man who wish to invest could only be persuaded that they were safe. From late San Francisco papers at hand we take the following resume of the conference: The cause of the irrigationists was materially advanced when it was decided on motion of Albert Miller, president of the San Francisco Savings Union, to refer further consideration of the matter of irrigation bonds to the San Francisco Clearing-House, where all the local banks will discuss the important question. The irrigationists have thus succeeded in getting the bankers as a body to consider the bonds of the irrigation districts as a subject of investment, and they feel certain that when the Clearing-House appoints a lawyer and an engineer to investigate and report upon the irrigation law and the value of the land upon which the bonds are issued, as it is now probable will be done, all obstacles to the success of the irrigation scheme will be removed. The meeting was called to order by Barry Baldwin, president of the Produce Exchange, who was elected chairman. Among those present were William Alvord, Albert Miller, Daniel Meyer, William Powell, W. H. Holcomb, C. R. Stempel, J. A. The Board of Supervisors shall divide the county into suitable road districts and each Supervisor shall be ex-officio Road Commissioner in his supervisor district and shall see that all contracts and orders pertaining to roads and bridges are promptly executed. After the first Monday following the first day in January, 1893, the office of road overseer shall be abolished. The Supervisors may cause highways to be surveyed, laid out, recorded and opened, abolish or abandon such as are not necessary, contract, purchase or otherwise acquire right of way over private property for the use of public highways; advertise for scaled bids for keeping in order and repair all roads, culverts and bridges; provided that, in their discretion, they may exclude from such contracts the repairing of bridges. If no bids are received or accepted the board may order the work to be performed by the Road Commissioner. If a contractor neglects or fails to perform his contract, the Road Commissioner shall notify him, and if the contractor does not use reasonable diligence in complying with such notice, the Road Commissioner shall cause the work to be done by others, and the cost shall be deducted from the quarterly allowance of such contractor. The Board of Supervisors may appoint one road inspector at a compensation not to exceed the sum allowed by law as the total compensation of the Road Commissioners, and he shall act in their stead. The board must advertise for scaled bids to maintain roads. Such contracts must be awarded separately for each road district and to a qualified elector. The board shall annually levy a tax not exceeding $3 on each man between 21 and 53 years of age. These are the main provisions. The Road Commissioner shall inspect the work done under such contracts and ordered and make a written report four times a year. The board shall thereupon pay the amount found due the contractor for the preceding quarter from the funds of the road district embraced in the contract. In their discretion the Supervisors may designate mile etones and guide posts. They may erect water works for the purpose of watering roads. The Road Commissioner, under the direction of the Board of Supervisors, must take charge of the highways within the district, shall employ men, teams, watering carts and all help necessary. No Commissioner shall be interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract or work to be done in his district. He shall keep the roads free from obstructions and in good repair, destroy weeds, cause banks to be graded and bridges to be made. He must make quarterly reports under oath of the number of days he has been employed, wages, receipts, etc. He shall receive for his services 20 cents per mile one way for all distances actually traveled in the performance of his duties. He shall not is any one year receive more than $300. Real Estate Transfers The following transfers of real estate have been recorded during the week: Walter Rose to Cora R.

Daniel Meyer said the chief objection he found to the bonds was the fact that a district could make more than one issue. There should be a guarantee, he said, that the work undertaken in a district would be carried to a successful issue, and not allowed to go to rain Unless a banker has a guarantee that all the bonds would be sold he had better not invest. Replying to the objectives advanced by Mr. Meyer, ex-State Treasurer McDonald referred to the Turlook district. Suppose, he said, that a district issued $100,000 of bonds, and subsequently, for further improvements, made a further issue of $50,000, would it be considered that the securities were in danger in a district of 760,000 acres, worth to-day $25 an acre, and which, with water, would be worth $50 an acre? The law which created swamp land and school districts was similar to that under which the irrigation districts had been organized, and there was no difficulty in selling school or swamp land bonds. All the irrigationists wish was that when they came here with bonds the bankers and capitalists should investigate them. Irrigation bonds were as good as any county bonds. Their security was ample. Mr. Meyer said the bonds were suffering because the bankers had not been educated to appreciate them. W. S. Green suggested that the bankers name an attorney and an engineer to investigate the case and to ascertain the values of the land on which the bonds had been or would be issued. Each district would pay all expenses of such investigation. Bankers would then have the reports of their own officers, disinterested men, to guide them. Albert Miller, president of the San Francisco Savings Union, said the savings banks would not invest in the bonds until they had the levy and collection of the necessary assessment for the payment of the bonds the amendment to the Wright act passed by the last Legislature, authorized the Board of Supervisors to levy an assessment in the case of a default by the Board of Directors. Judge Rhoades thoroughly reviewed the law and all points on which it might be attacked, showing conclusively that the law was valid and that as far as decisions had been made it had been upheld. H. I. Willey believed an erroneous impression existed as to the desire of those interested in irrigation bonds to present this matter to the bankers of San Francisco. As it was not possible, said Mr. Willey, to dispose of these bonds without further investigation on the part of intending investors than the mere acquiring that they had been induced by bankers, it was requisite that some action should be taken which should determine the standards of the districts. Therefore it was necessary that some arrangement should be made whereby the status of each district might be established, so that there should be a record which might be quoted and referred to whenever required.

A letter was read from Isaac Steinhart expressing views similar to those of Messrs. Meyer and Meyer. Francis G. Newlands in an able address urged the bankers to give the irrigationists the assistance required in securing a market for the bonds. The work undertaken by the irrigationists, he said, would not only be of benefit to all whose property was directly interested, but also to the whole State, whose prosperity would be increased. It was important, said Mr. Newlands, that some one should inquire into the matter to determine to the satisfaction of the bankers the constitutionality of the law and the practicability of the scheme. The bankers were not asked to endorse the bonds in a legal, responsible sense, but only to give them their moral indorsement. Let there then be no organized, said Mr. Newlands, a tribunal capable, honest men, who shall inquire into these matters. William Alvord said he thought no individual commercial bank would care to undertake alone such an investigation as would be necessary, and he therefore proposed that the matter be referred to the Clearing-House, where the banks as a body could discuss it. P. J. Hazen of the Turlock district called attention to the fact that a first issue of bonds was a first lion upon the land, as was a first mortgage, and a second issue a second lien, like a second mortgage. After further remarks by N. P. Chipman and G. W. Mordecai on the cause of the irrigationists, on motion of Albert Miller the matter was referred to the Clearing-House and the meeting adjourned. The Chronicle reters to the conference as a notable victory for the irrigationists, and continues: On Tuesday the irrigationists met the bankers of this city at a conference held under the auspices of the Produce Exchange and made a presentation of the cause of irrigation and of the validity and value of the bonds issued under the irrigation laws of the State as to materially advance the prospects of the great and growing industry which they championed. They took values of the district, the regularity of the proceedings and the actual feasibility of the scheme for irrigation in any particular case, shall not be too intricate, expensive or uncertain. Fifth—Provided, the privileges so freely accorded by the Wright act and the amendments thereto are not abused. I am aware that most of the uncertainties presented above have been favorably passed on by the Supreme Court of California, which, to the ordinary citizen, is ample guarantee for assuming those points settled, but I also note that some are again, with wonderful elasticity, brought before the body for review, argued by leading lawyers in a case involving the bonds of the Madera irrigation district. At this present writing no decision has been handed down. The question of interference with the provision of our national constitution on points for federal jurisdiction has been brought before the United Court. Some dissatisfiedOLDER, some mortgagerewhose security has been absorbed by the greedy tax title man, or some other party anxious to have all doubts at rest, will surely carry these questions up eventually. In the mean time our best lawyers cannot with certainty predict the result although the odds are largely in favor of the California decisions being sustained. Referring to the fourth point, it is true that to loan money on mortgage an examination should be made of the property and valuation arrived at. In the case of irrigation bonds, however, the procedure seems to be surrounded with unusual conditions, because the valuers of the property are the borrowers themselves; also because the amount of obligation is apt to be figured in excess of safe margin on the value of the raw land, viz., the land without the water; also because the cost of the proposed system is only an estimate, subject to conditions impossible perhaps of later fulfillment. The contingency of abuse must not be overlooked. The facilities afforded by the Wright act will induce men of over-sanguine temperament to go into the scheme as a means of "booming" their locality on an outlay of very little cash, and, by issuing bonds, attempt to develop their property far in advance.

P. Chipman and G. W. Mordecai on the cause of the irrigationists, on motion of Albert Miller the matter was referred to the Clearing-House and the meeting adjourned. The Chronicle reters to the conference as a notable victory for the irrigationists, and continues: On Tuesday the irrigationists met the bankers of this city at a conference held under the auspices of the Produce Exchange and made such a presentation of the cause of irrigation and of the validity and value of the bonds issued under the irrigation laws of the State as to materially advance the prospects of the great and growing industry which they championed. They took the field and held it against all adverse comment and criticism; and it is to be noticed that the inquiry on part of the bankers was limited to matters of detail. In other words, the capitalists seem to be satisfied with the principle of the law and are now concerned with its practical operation. As to this there can be no objection on the part of any one. Each irrigation district must assume the responsibility for its own acts, and each must be judged as to its desirability as a place of investment on its own merits. Buying irrigation bonds is exactly like lending money on real estate mortgages; the capitalist must determine the expediency of the investment for himself, and his decision will turn chiefly on the value of the security offered. The object of the meeting was to make a full and frank statement of the situation to the men who control the capital of this city, and that object was fully attained. The whole subject was finally referred to the Clearing-House, upon the suggestion of Mr. Alvord, president of the Bank of California, who said he thought no individual commercial bank would care to undertake alone such investigation as would be necessary. The Clearning-House represents the commercial banks in the aggregate, and the reference was a very judicious and proper one. Banks and similar institutions, whose duty it is to invest the moneys of others, are right in exercising extreme caution, but they should not infer that a new form of security is not safe simply because it is new. The irrigation bonds have been declared valid by the highest judicial authority; every legal safeguard possible has been thrown around them, and all there is left is the question of fact as to the value of the security in each irrigation district. As to this, the Clearning-House will find no difficulty, since the districts, or a great majority of them, have kept sorrupulously within the proper margin; and so we say that Tuesday's conference and the reference to the Clearning-House may be set down as a notable victory for the interests of irrigation in California.

The facilities afforded by The Wright act will induce men of over-sanguine temperament to go into the scheme as a means of "booming" their locality on an outlay of very little cash, and, by issuing bonds, attempt to develop their property far in advance of actual requirements, double discounting future and giving practical force to scriptural injunction," sufficient to day is the evil thereof," leave pay day out of the count. Ambition to fill the important offices provided for in each district may also furnish motives for much enthusiasm in certain places and cause the possibilities ofthe situation to be viewed too hopefully.Merein lies a serious menace tothe popularityof these bonds with investors.Foolish or fraudulent conduct in this particular direction by one locality, while not detracting one lot fromthe real valueofthe securities offered1 by another,may cause unfounded suspicion to rest on first-class bonds.

Geo.H.Stewart. Los Angeles,May 12,1891. RevealedinA Dream. OneofthebloodiestbattlesfoughtonGeorgiacold during Revealed in a Dream. One of the bloodiest battles fought on Georgia soil during the war was that of Resaca. Among the many patriotic youths who took arms in defense of Southern independence was the 18-year-old son of Jethro Jackson of Griffin Ga., and the brave boy met his death at the battle of Resaca. He was dearly beloved by his comrades, and they gave him a little better burial than usually falls to the lot of those who die upon the field of battle. With rough boards taken from the bridge near by they made him a rude coffin, and tenderly placed him under the soil. It was some time in the spring of 1866 that Jethro Jackson went to Resaca to look for the grave of his son. He wished to find the remains, and to take them to Griffin and inter them in the family burying ground. The comrades who said young Jackson to rest gave the father a description of the spot where they had buried him, telling him about the rude pine coffin they made from the boards taken from the bridge. After many days of tireless search Mr. Jackson failed to locate his son's grave, and returned to his home in Griffin. A few nights after his return he dreamed that his son came to him and pointed out the spot where he was buried. The dream was like a vision. He saw his son standing beside his bed and heard him say: "Father, I am buried under a mound which was thrown up by the Yankees after I was killed. You will know the mound when you see it by the pokeberry bushes growing upon it. Go and take me up and carry me home to mother." So strong an impression did this dream make upon Mr. Jackson that he returned at once to Resaca, taking with him one of the comrades who had buried his son. The mound was found just as described in the dream, and the pokebberries were growing upon it. An excavation was made, and a few feet below the earth the rough pine coffin was found, and in it were the remains of young Jackson. He was fully identified, not only by the coffin and the shoes, but by the name which was on the clothing. Farmers' Healing Luniment is a sure cure for piles. For sale by W. M.
