marooned alongside the road. He later
reached this city by buggy and was
arrested.

NEW RAILROAD MAY
HAVE EASTERN TERiMINUS
Sacramento and Sierra to Ex
tend to Lake Tahoe
{Special Dispatch to The Call]
GEORGETOWN. Aug 13.— There has
T>«en much speculation here as to the
eastern terminus of the Sacramento
and Sierra railroad, which, it has been
announced, is to extend from Sacra
mento to Lake Tahoe. The road is to
be a timber road, end it is not thought
here that it will extend beyond' Virnei".
To reach the lake from that point it
would be necessary to climb 7,700 feet
or tunnel a mile and a half through
the mountains. Either one of these
undertakings. It is argued, would cost
too much money for a short line.
It is the belief here that if the road
in extended it may be safely said that
It will become a part of a transcon
tinental line.

ONE NEW LAW IS
DECLARED VOID
Judge Bennett 'Decides^Against
Bill Relating to Sale of Liquor
Near Labor; Camps
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 13.— Judge
Bennett in. the superior, court, today
decided that the law. passed by^ the last
legislature prohibiting the sale of in- ;
toxlcating liquors within four miles
of any labor camp .engaged upon pub
lic work is unconstitutional.
This was a test case of the law. In
rendering- his opinion Judge Bennett
said In part: '
The proviso in said section, whereby
a man who has been engaged, in the
business of celling intoxicating liquors
at a given place for six months is per
mitted to continue to sell such liquors,
while a man who has" been engaged in
such business for only 5 months and
29 days is prohibited from continuing
such business, is so clearly in violation
of the provisions of the constitution
requiring all laws of a general nature
to have a uniform operation that no
judge or court ought to shirk the duty
of declaring such a statute to be un
constitutional and void. !
FARMERS REFUSE TO SELL
WHEAT AT PRESENT PRICE
Stockton Grain Market in Na
ture of Deadlock
[Special Dispalch to The Call]
STOCKTOX. : Aug. 13.—The situation
in the local grain market is in the na
ture of a deadlock, the dealers and
farmers being unable to -' reach any
agreement as to prices.
The high prices offered for wheat a
few weeks ago have "spoiled" the
farmers, argue the dealers, and they
can not come down to the present quo
tations. There has been a general re
duction on all lines of grain of $2 a ton.
The crop this year in San Joaquin
counts' exceeds that of last year; As
most of the farmers are well to do,
and a^s the weather-conditions will per
mit them to allow. -their grain to re
main in the fields: at least a month
more, they can afford to hold off from
seiling.
Another reason assigned for the low
prices offered is fear of Oregon gralii
being Imported. The Oregon farmers
usually sell their stock as . soon as
harvested.
SUPERVISORS PREPARE TO
BUILD GREAT HIGHWAY

mission, has had a corps of surveyors
at work on the. highways for several
months. s .
A pdrtion of the strip will probably
