ROYAL BAKING POWDER Thousands of millions of cans of Royal Baking Powder have been used in making bread, biscuits and cake in this country, and every housekeeper using it has rested in perfect confidence that her food would be light, sweet, and perfectly wholesome. Royal is a safe-guard against the cheap alum powders which are the greatest menacers to health of the present day.

Although difficult of travel the region can be reached by one day's horseback ride from Bishop or two days' ride from the lumber town of Shaver, on the opposite or west side of the divide from Bishop. The general topography of the Sierra shows an inclined plane running from the San Joaquin valley 100 miles to the crest, at an elevation of 13,000 to 14,000 feet, and then dropping away abruptly on the east side from 6000 to 10,000 feet in a distance of ten miles. It is up the smoother sides of the mountain that the topographic surveyor endeavors to climb to make his stations on the topmost rocks. When such a gentle, sloping mountain side is found he is profoundly thankful, for some of the ascents are almost perpendicular. "Within 2000 feet of the summit of most of the peaks was as near as it was possible to approach on horseback," said topographer George Davis, in charge of the government party engaged on this survey. "The rest of the climb had to be negotiated afoot. From the tops of these peaks many of which have probably never before been visited by man, a wonderful view of the surrounding peaks and country presented itself. Meadows of varied shape, and lakes, large and small, lay spread before us, the latter of a deep ultramarine blue and reflecting the surrounding peaks in their glassy depths. These lakes—there are about seven hundred of them in the quadrangle—lie in nearly every conceivable nook and corner; but those that can be observed from one peak may be altogether invisible from another." Very few roads exist in the Mount Goddard country, but there are numerous trails. Some are straight and afford good going; others are so steep and rough that to take a pack train over them is next to impossible. Some are well blazed by the characteristic cuts on trees, others by rocks piled one upon another; but in most cases these rock piles or ridges made us a visit to see if they contain a topographic map of the try north of the Mount Goddard region. Among them was a lake appeared deeply interested in work and in the desired map which we supplied her. After the map with profuse than mounted her mule and start unrolling the sheet as she probed the mule, however, but dimlyizing the advantage which a graphic map would lend to her travel, and recognizing rainstrike of the sheet, proceed 'buck' his mistress off with lay. The results, however, were so serious as at first appear. The difficulties and annoyance the topographer while working high altitudes are varied. It is compelled to climb the same two or three times on accustomed fog, rain and snowstorms, when have a provoking way out just after the ascent is cooled and effectually preventing sights. "Nearly every day later," said Mr. Davis, "general an oppressive heat in the heavy, threatening clouds around the peaks and at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon thunder clouds of tremendo portions. The lightning often in too close proximity for our but outside of scarring the storm trouble resulted. One amusing tric phenomenon occurred when party was occupying a star the Mono Pass.

Very few roads exist in the Mount Goddard country, but there are numerous trails. Some are straight and afford good going; others are so steep and rough that to take a pack train over them is next to impossible. Some are well blazed by the characteristic cuts on trees, others by rocks piled one upon another; but in most cases these rock piles or "duck blazes" of the cattle or sheep men have been demolished by the winter snowslides. "In moving the camp to the head of Bear Creek," said Mr. Davis, "a peculiar trail was encountered. For some distance the blazes on the trees were well cut and regular, although the traveling became rougher and rougher. All the members of the party were praising the kindly trail blazes when suddenly they ended at an impassable cliff; likewise the trail. At the foot of the cliff, however, was a tree with the same old blaze, which appeared in the shape of a diamond, while above it was an artistically carved hand pointing straight upward. We found it advisable to disregard this last sign, and proceeded on our way by another route. "Meadows in this region are plentiful and are generally located in canyons and glaciated basins, and those that have not been overgrazed by sheep and cattle afford good pasture. Adventurous inhabitants of Fresno, on the west side of the divide, and of Bishop on the east side, as well as the cattle and sheep herders, take advantage of these pictuersque spots for summer camping places. Large game, however, deer and bear, are not so plentiful in the Sierra as in the coast range, and fishing is limited to certain localities. We had the pleasure of meeting several parties of lovers of outdoor life. Some people from Fresno, hearing that a NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of C. W. Marden, deceased.

LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO INITIATIVE LEGISLATION AFTER DIRECT PRIMARY Important Measures Affecting the People Now Before the Legislature—Machine Lined Up Against Measure—Direct Primary Bill Will Pass [Correspondence of The Gazette.] Sacramento, Feb. 22.—As soon as the direct primary is out of the way the next measure of great importance to be considered will be senate constitutional amendment No. 3, introduced by Mr. Black, proposing to submit to the people an amendment to the constitution providing for the Initiative. This amendment provides, in brief, that upon the presentation to the secretary of state of a petition signed by qualified electors as many as twelve per cent of all the votes cast for governor at the then last election for governor, proposing a law, statute or an amendment to the constitution, the secretary of state must submit the said proposed statutes or amendments to the electors at the next succeeding general election. Initiative measures shall take precedence over all measures, excepting appropriation bills. The legislature may enact any initiative measure, without change or amendment, but proposed amendments to the constitution must be submitted to the electors for approval or rejection. If any such initiative measures shall be rejected by the legislature, or no action be taken upon it by the legislature within forty days from the date of its transmission the secretary of state shall submit it to the electors for approval or rejection at the next ensuing general election. The legislature may reject any measure proposed by initiative petition, and propose a different one to accomplish the same purpose, but in such event both measures shall be submitted to the electors for their rejection or approval by the secretary of state.

The legislature may reject any measure proposed by initiative petition, and propose a different one to accomplish the same purpose, but in such event both measures shall be submitted to the electors for their rejection or approval by the secretary of state at the next ensuing general election. The veto power of the governor shall not extend to measures adopted by direct vote of the people. A statute adopted by direct vote of the people can be repealed or amended only by direct vote of the people. The most desperate plans are being made by enemies of the Initiative to smother it in committee, but regardless of what occurs in committee, the advocates of the amendment on the floor of each house are determined to bring the issue squarely before the legislature at the earliest possible moment. It is noteworthy that the most violent opposition to the initiative which thus far has developed comes from the railroad lobby and from Senators Wright and Curtin, who have declared themselves as unalterably opposed to the amendment because of its alleged unconstitutionality. The fallacy in this theory is proven by the fact that supreme court of every state which has been called upon thus far to pass upon a measure of a similar nature has declared that it is constitutional. At the hearing before the senate committee recently this point was brought out by advocates of the measure, but it failed to make the proper impression upon these two most bitter opponents, for some reason or other. Senator Wright, though intrusted with the introduction and management of the direct primary bill, the principle underlying which is essentially that of the direct legislation measure, seemed willing to abandon one of the vital features of the original bill introduced by him—that providing 'or the direct nomination of United States senator—and adopt in its place a provision for an advisory vote only. It is clearly to be seen, therefore, that he does not believe in the modern, yet really the earliest, theory of the American government, namely, that in the final analysis the people shall be privileged to decide for themselves what legislation they shall have. The absurdity of the contentions of both these chief opponents of the initiative is instantly apparent.

GUSHED OIL Well No. 20 on the Hall lease gushed oil at the rate of 3000 barrels daily for two days last week. This is an old well, but it is "always on the job" as a heavy producer and it has been flowing for years. A day or two ago the pressure from the well forced an opening and the heavy stream flowed into a reservoir or place of storage all day before the employes could shut it off. A demonstration of Fairy Polish, which is being introduced by I. Asher of this city and M. Weir of Los Angeles, will be made at Mullinix's drugstore on Saturday next, Feb. 27. This polish is pronounced by Mr. Asher to be the best now on the market, and its many excellent qualities will be exhibited to those interested. An invitation is extended the public to attend. If weather should be rainy, the demonstration will be postponed to a future date. The firm handling the polish has manufactured an article which is devised to fill a long-felt want, and those in position to know pronounce it in every way the superior of all similar articles now on the market.
