been a long time since my last letter butjl have a good excuse as I have been on the go the go night and day and very anxious to get to my old home at Jamestown. My last letter was from Earlville, III, on August 26, just a month ago. On the 27th I was in Leiand, Tomahawk and Sandwich 28th Piano, Bristol, Montgomery and Aurora; 29th Naperville, Downers, Grove, Handa- dale and Hawthorn station.

The little newsboys took up a collectioil for me amounting to 39 cents in- pennies. I was just as iilcased with this as with so many dollars.

I could not it so I told him that I would see him at 6 o'clock. He asked if I knew where he lived and I told him yes. I walked around the town and as soon as they found out who 1 was they took me in an auto all around the town, and told everyone who 1 was. They took me to my brothers home at 6 o'clock and what a meeting. I cannot express myself as I would like to but I will remember that meeting as long as I live.

Dear friends of Mendocino county, remember that 1 had not seen my brother for 13 years and 4 dny.s. The evening and morning papers gave me fine writeups.

The next day I spent CLAIMS INTEREST CALPELLA LAND Suit was filed in the superior court Monday by Attorneys Pemberton Hale to recove $1000 from Attorneys Robert Duncan and J. C. Ruddock as individuals and atftrusteea of the Calpella Fruit Land company. The complaint alleges that Mrs. K.

E. Ligget was the owner of 75 shares of stock in the corporation for which she paid $750 and "that the property is now worth $25000, her share being $8000. It seems that the corporation failed to pay its incorporation tax in 1911 and that J. A. Waldteufel who was one of the owners, bought up what was supposed to be all of the outstanding stock.

Ruddock and DunJ- can were then appointed trustees of the company to wind up its business and sold the property to Mr. teufel. It is claimed that the shares held by Mrs. Liggett are stUI outstanding and are a lien on the property. WELDON ENTERS ASSEMBLY GH Continued to page 8.

HIGHWAY AND. PARK EOR COAST SECTION Horace Milliken, republican nominee for the assembly, is earnestly working on a project that will mean a great deal to the coast section. He is endeavoring to secure a branch of the state highway going through by Wendling and down the Navarro river to the proposed park on the Navarro. The road wouW be one of the most beautiful drives in the state as it would through the redwoods along one of the best fishing streams in the county. Mr.

Milliken is an active worker and has the interests of the coast at heart and it is safe to say that when he goes to the legislature that he will be able'to accomplish this. Albert Brown of Mendocino is an enthusiastic advocate plan and is also lending his efforts. It is understood that the rights of way will be donated. POPOLAR CALLED MISS JOCIE AMES TO BE BRIDE Mrs. E.

S. Ames and daugher, Jocie, departed for San Francisco Sunday morning. The approaching marriage of Miss Ames to W. E. Williams a business man of San Francisco, has been the occasion of much entertainment since her recent return from a visit in San Francisco.

The bride elect has for some time been a teacher in the Ukiah grammar school and as a token of esteem in which she was held by her fellow teachers she was the recipient of a very valuable remembrance from them. Her friends of the Presbyterian church presented her with a beautiful testimonial of pleasant association as a co-worker. Many useful and valuable gifts wero received from individual friends as Miss Ames has been very popular among a wide circle of well wishers. ELECTRICTY EOR CLUBBING OEEER PROVING POPULAR The electricity was turned on for the rural line through this valley Monday and now several of the residences of the farmers are lighted by electricity. C.

E. Pettis was hopeful that this would occur sometime and had his house wired when it was built and was one of the first to have lights. The electricity is also available for power andanu'mbprof pumping plants will be installed. TWO UKIAH BOYS ARE MAKING GOOD The Press offer published last wei-k offering the Republican Press and the San Francisco Bulletin for one year for $1.30 has met with a remarkable response from our subscribers and a number of subscriptions have been received this week. The Press has not made a clubbing offer for several year.s and we had no idea that it would be so popular.

To a person who wants to keep posted on the news of tlio world daily and all the news of the county it is an exceptional opportunity to make one dollar do the work of two. The combined price of the two papers according to the offer i.s less than tho subscription price of even the poorest daily. The Press is admitted to be the best newspaper in Mendocino county and has the largest subscription list. The Bulletin is heading the list of evening and only one morning paper in the state leads it in number of subscribers. UKIAH COUPLE WED S.

K. Wyckoff and Miss E. Taylor wero married Snuday and had a friend drive them to Hopland whore they took the train for San Francisco to spend their honeymoon. Tho groomj haa been an employee at the Cecilia and the bride is a handsome and popular young lady. Edward Pettis is holding a good position in the firm of Walters brothers on O'Farrel street and has been rapidly promoted until he ia now one of the salesmen of the firm.

"the firm handles oriental rugs and carpets and high class furniture and Edward is specializing on oriental rugs with the view of becoming a buyer. His firm proposes next year to send him to New York for a 'yeijrs experience in one of the largest importing houses in the world. This education will'be very valuable in his future position buying rugs. Ashley Pettis is considered an authority on music and is said to have one of tho most remarkable musical memorys known. He recently memorized one of Beethovens' compositions in a day and was able to play all of the parts that could be rendered on a piano.

A novv instrument has recently been perfected which accurately reproduces piano selections and having secured one of them Sherman Clay have secured Ashley's services to make gpme records as he is considered the most competent artist in San Francisco. He is maintaining two studios, one in Berkeley and one in San Francisco. Ill another column will be found the announcement of T. J. Weldon of this city as the regular democratic nominee for the assembly of this district.

Mr Weldon is wellknown to the people of this county having asked their suffrage before. As he is a democrat and the Press will consistently support his opponent we naturally cannot urge the voters to vote for him. Outside of his political leanings is not such a bad fellow after all however. Mr. Weldon has been a resident of this county for many years and was for a number of yearn under sherfif; He has also served as trustee of Ukiah City.

He has always been active in politics and is one of the best singlehanded canvassers in the county and promises to -get out this month and make things lively in the arena. He is a member of the firm of Weldon Held, attorneys at law, in city, being a partner of our present assemblyman, W. D. L. Held.

As the county is overwhelmingly republican it is considered hardly possible that Mr. Weldon will be elected but his friends claim that if he were that he would be an untiring worker in behalf of his constituents. He is a man of energy and executive ability and barring his political faith is well qualified to represent this district. PROMINENT NEBRASKAN HERE C. W.

McCrackon of St. Paul, arrived this week and is visiting his brother, J. L. McCracUen and family of Talmago. He is accompanied by his daughter, Miss Mabel.

They are greatly enjoying their stay in Ukiah and are greatly pleased with the weather here. Mr. McCracken is a prosperous rancher and has large interests there. Tuesday morning the relatives and friends of Mrs. P.

M. Howard were shocked to hear of her death. Mrs. Howard has been very ill but was apparently better until a few hours before the life chord snapped. Nancy Isabel Howard was the daughter of James and Elizabeth native daughter of California.

She was born February 27, 1867; reared in a large family, with several sisters and brothers to love and admire her amiable nature. She was married March 29, 1882. When very young she began the duties of a homemaker. Her sweetness, gentleness and home tastes with the companionship of a devoted husband made her a blessed wife and mother. During all the years of her married life she and her husband have l.ived on their ranch in Coyote valley, where their children Arthur and Alice (Mrs.

W. D. grew to maturity. Her children have the memory of a companion in their mother, one ever ready to carry their burdens or rejoice'in their pleasures. The heart broken husband has the deepest sympathy of a wide circle of relatives and friends.

The aged parents and brothers and sisters grieve for one whose place cannot be filled. "There's a hush and gloom at the fireside. The light of the home is gone The life that gave cheer, the K.oice so dear. Is hear it no more, Thy life work here is ended The sheaves are HU garnered in, The chilling blast his come at last, Thou art safely sheltered with Him. The Summer days are waning The harvest time is o'er, Tho' lonely are we, He had need of thee, In that home on the other shore." Land Office Decides Against tlie Settler Holds That While Gillmore ComplledsWith the Law He Merely Waixted to Get the Timber.

Case to be Appealed The Reigster and Receiver of the Land Office at San Francisco have rendered a decision against Emmet R. Gillnjore of "Point Arena in the contest brought against his homestead entry by Harry V. Nichols of Greenwood. The land in question is located on Alder Creek in Township 18 north 16 west and is a part of the tract involved in the controversy be- the L. E.

White Lumber company and the settlers in that section. This particular quarter section was claimed and occupied by Forrest F. Adams for many years. After eight years of litigation with the company, Adams succeeded in getting his homestead entry accepted by government but the land office fused to recognize his residence the land previous to 1911, though had lived there much longer than the required five years. Adam's mother's health was at that time in such a condition'that he was unable to remain longer on the claim and he sold his improvements to Gillmore and abandoned the land.

Gillmore at moved on the land and lived the re- on he once there continuously for fourteen months and over, after which he offered a commutation proof. Nichols thereupon filed a contest against his entry that Gillrnore had never lived on the landr- The land office concedes that Gillmore lived on the land and 'cultivated it but finds from the evidence submitted that his only intention in taking up the land-was to sell it for its timber, and, therefore, recommends that his entry cancelled as fraudulent. "Mannon Mannon who represent Gillmore think there is no evidence to support any such finding and will apppeal from the decision. Gillmore is the son of former Supervisor E. P.

Gillmore and is well known ac Point Arena where he has lived for years. Nichols is the surveyor of the L. E. White Lumber company and has been in that company's employ for many years. Locally the decision is regarded as simply of the steps in the company's long warfare against the settlers.

W. Haskett reports that Press ads have always brought hor results. Her faith in Press advertising is proven by the fact that she is advertising her garden patch for rent in the want column this week. The Mendocino Apple fair.will be held October 23, 24, 25 and 20. Reports from Mendocino are to the effect tiiat this will be one of the best exhibits ever in Mendocino county.

The people of Mendocino have built a now pavillion to house the fair at an expense of several thousand dollars.
