' It " has ■ not ':' yet been i popularly discussed much, for '. the reason that the people of San : Jose and the county gener ally have been so; keenly" absorbed in the valley railroad enterprise. ''.The enthusiasm for the competing;' road and the anticipa tions of a consequent new prosperity are .as great here as at Stockton, and when the boulevard idea came along in the midst of all this railroad hubbub the public-spirited people all said, "Yes, that's a grand thing and we want it," and kept vigorously talk ing and working for the railroad. The citizens here who lead : ; popular sen timent in public' enterprises and " work for them, arid . the progressive ? part of '■ the community, which is large -in Santa Clara 5 County, are all enthusiastically in favor of the proposed boulevard. - There appears to be every promise that I when i the project •progresses ; a little further it will be not only taken up with enthusiasm here, but that the . section of s the splendid driveway that runs through Santa Clara County will be the finest part of it. , But for the over shadowing interest in the railroad it would now be a live issue here. . . y- That Santa (Clara ; County should 1 take hold of such a magnificent enterprise is no more than is to be expected. Everybody here believes in fine roads, and is willing . to pay; for"them "i. ] : The county is proud of its . roads, and , has; learned the > value of them. ; ; Its. roads [are; worthy of ; the rich and ' incomparable \ region through; which they rum ; The Santa Clara Valley 'is as famous for its roads as for, the. garden they ran through,', and v the beauty which nature has created here. They have been its best/ advertisement, a _ ? great"f actor.' in : its prosperity, and the reason for a great deal of its wealth and population.

The portion of the boulevard that is to . extend through the Santa Clara .Valley, to San Jose would be one of the most delight ful sketches of the driveway and : would • afford an enchanting change of scene. Through ..San Mateo County, the splendid estates," beautiful towns, picturesque hills and canyons, the view of the. bay, the .oak groves, the great expanses of green and the gentle airs .would not grow monotonous for a moment, but many* miles' north of San Jose the ; surroundings would ; change.' The" Santa Cruz Mountains would rise still higher,'; with their redwoods - in y relief against the .sky. The valley ' with its orchards and gardens and grainficlds and the fertile, broken foothills would open to view. .The .magnificent estates and the pretty houses would still be passed, but the charming beauty and bounty of the won derfully fruitful orchards of .' the Santa Clara Valley would stretch for miles in every direction. No section of the .State, would - more please \ the stranger or -better show California's ' bounty ,' and !" nothing would present I that region to the-; world better than the boulevard that must be come world-famous as soon as it is built. • "A splendid proposition and a great thing for San Jose/ says Paul P. Austin, the progressive Mayor of ; that city, who is just ; now 7 working ; tooth-and-nail for ; the new railroad. '7 He further says: - ; As a business proposition it wonld be a great thing for this whole region' | It "would bring a great many people here who: never come now," and people who do come would come of tener. It ■ would; be a good business 1 investment \ for Santa Clara- County, to pay its share, and. I would like. to see this county take hold of it and do; its share to bring it about. '• y ■ . . A broad, sprinkled highway, running through a beautiful country, .would ,be a popular and famous drive,' and, there would be an immense, amount of travel. on it between here and San Francisco. It would.be the finest drive on the J Pacific Coast. It would do a great deal to build up a large, suburban: population, both in' San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. 7 .

There is no question that : good •' roads help greatly \to . populate .country, and \ such a boulevard would be a big factor in. doing that ' work for the west side of : the bay. 7- Every body I have heard ! mention -it ' has . spoken of it ap provingly and" I believe 7a: majority; of _* the people will favor it.

While it has not yet been widely discussed;' I have heard many people speak of it, and all have favored it and would bond '; the county to get it. y I talked the other day with a man who .own as large amount of land northwest of here and he said," I'm a boulevard man.' ..:' He was more in terested in it than in the valley road, and de clared : that ; he . would give ; the right of way through his property "' . : y : ' . Such a grand • driveway . would build up the entire valley: • There is no driving out of San Francisco now, and it would bring people down 7 the bay constantly, and clear to San Jose, just as it would constantly take a great number of people north from here. ; 7 Along the whole stretch of. country between here and San Francisco there will, some day, be one villa after another and the boulevard would do more than anything else to bring that, about. Thousands of people have heard of San Jose because of the Lick | Observatory and its famous drive. ; The boulevard . would „be more famous and ' people in . the East would say to their friends bound for -.California: "Don't fail to take in the San Jose boulevard." We have the finest roads : in America and I know the people here will favor so great and valuable an improvement as this. 7 The.value of fine raods to any attractive region and especially of such rare driver ways as the boulevard would, be. and as the Mount Hamilton; • Toad '_■: is now.- is slightly illustrated by the recent remarks of W.M. Hahn, ' serefary of the National Republican Committee and Insurance Com missioner of Ohio, who visited San Jose and its. valley a few days ago. He said : My wife and I enjoyed a trip to Mount Ham ilton to-day and the opportunity we had to see the country the trip quite a revelation to us. The trip over the fine grade with its multitudinous turns was a delightful one. A great advantage ■ California has over Ohio is the splendid road system. It is not to be wondered at that San Jose is becoming famous for bicycle riding and racers. Such roads I never saw before anywhere. .The boulevard was briefly discussed at a recent meeting of the Board of Trade and was generally favored. "There is no need," said C. M. Hatcher, "of neglecting this project because we are working for the valley railroad.-' We want everything good in sight, and this is too good to let go without an effort." "Not only. will it be a great. benefit to the residents along the line." said Robert Summery, "but it will be a good thing for everybody living •in the counties through which it passes;" The board .decided that it was too early for definite action, but the project is only slumbering here for a brief time. The ex pressions of leading and progressive men everywhere show that the boulevard pro ject will be taken Up enthusiastically here when the .time comes, and that there is every promise •" that Santa Clara; County will cordially do its full share toward build ing a splendid-driveway between the Golden Gate and the Garden City.

WATCHING THE HAGGIN GRANT. The Murderer Believed to Be Hid ing There— Excitement In Gridiey. ...-.,- SACRAMENTO, Cat,., April I.— The de tectives have not yet relaxed in their efforts to find the partners of the train; robber killed by Sheriff Bogard last Satur day morning, for it is now believed that three men were concerned in the affair. The belief is founded on the statement of a passenger, who says that immediately after Bogard shot j the tall robber he was shot from behind by a third man who entered the car behind Bogard just as Bogard was taking aim. This statement is corroborated by the physician who per formed the autopsy and who found that the Sheriff had been shot in the back di rectly from behind, and that it was a phys ical-impossibility for him to have. been shot from any other position. '.- The examination of the dead Sheriff's pistol shows that only one shot had .been fired out of it. . The passenger who saw the third man says that the shot fired by the Sheriff and the shot which killed him were in quick succession— not more than a quarter of a second intervening. The town of Gridley is excited over the news that at midnight last night a man rode on a bicycle through that town at the top of. his speed. The detectives were notified and started in pursuit, but. they had not succeeded in catching him at the time of • the writing of this article, for a man on a bicycle on . a good road can run away from a racehorse in a long-distance contest with a mile or two start. The Haggin Grant, otherwise known as El; Rancho del. Paso, is now being : watched by a corps of detectives, they having traced thither the murderer of Sheriff Bogard. . This is a large ranch to watch, for one must travel by road twelve miles before he can pass through if. It contains about 100 square miles and in places is very brushy. It .lies between the American and Sacra mento rivers' and is well watered .by sev- . eral small streams, '"A fugitive could sub sist there a long time. by killing stock. The fence-riders and ; cowboys employed, on the grant cannot and do not penetrate the brush, and a man could live there for I years without being seen, and without seeing a single human beings the only human .occupants of the ranch being a few vegetable-gardeners and hop-raisers. on the American River bottom lands, and the ranch employer • who live in a hamlet in the .bottom 1 about eleven miles from this city. -;y<-7' : \ : -'- y- "- ;■ •:■; v /.■;, :7..
