LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, i AssesSbr Dalton Fixes Values on the Street Railroad Lines. RAISED NEARLY A MILLION. Drs. Selfridge and Bradley Will Sue for Seats on the Board of Health. Assessor Dalton made a few entries in the assessment rolls yesterday which will cause street railway corporations to pay taxes on $815,525 more than they did in 1894: The est:mates were made by competent men selected particularly with reference to their fitness for the t. and, while Mr. Dalton expects that his valuations will be attacked when the rolls are placed before the Supervisors, sitting as a Board of Equalization, he has every confidence that his positign will be maintained. The new ed yaluations made by the Assessor follgws: ivenue Railroad Company—Last 7925; this year, $46,925; increase, %29,000 Onkland Railroad Company (Telegraph- avenue line)—Last year, $58,125; tnis year, $211,275; increase, £153,150.

Dr. Selfridge will open the ball by suing Dr. Beckwith and Dr. Bradley will follow with proceedings against Dr. Shuey. At- torney T. C. Huxley will be instructed to begin quo warranto proceedings. Dr. Selfridge is determined to carry the fight to a bitter end, and will be aided by the homeopathic physicians who are inter- ested in the cutcome of the contest. Mayor Davie said: **The quarrel is noth- ing but a_pill fight among the doctors. 1 + have no idea how they will settle it.” The City’s Water Supply. The oft-mooted question of the city own- ing its own water works came up before a special meeting of the City Council last evening, when the following resolution was passed: *‘That the president of the Council be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to appoint a special commit- tee, consisting nkl the president and two other members for the purpose of present- ing this Council information and recom- mendations relative to the advisability of urchasing a water supply for this city.” ehind this apparently innocent measure is the old-time fight between the Contra Costa and Dingee water companies for supremacy in Oakland. A short time ago representatives of the Dingee water com- pany went to the municipal authoriti and offered to lease their plant to the city for a period of seven or ten years. Afro-American League. The Afro-American League of Alameda County held a special meeting last evening at the A. M. E. Church, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Afro-American congress, which is to convene in San Fran- cisco July 30. Those chosen were: Rev. 0. Summers (at large), A. D. Jones, J. B. Wilson, V W. Owens, W.F. Delaney, James Wash- ington, J. F. Summers, J. A. Wilds, G. E. Watkins, J. 8. Hatton, F. W. Moore, D. D. Jacobs, H. R. Morgan, Homer Bishop, J. A. Hackett, John Collins, R. R. Lockett, E. H. Barrett, George Ingreham. Lambert Found Guilty. A sentence of from one to ten years in the State’s prison stares in the face of Walter Lambert, who, a very few years ago,was the king-pin politician of Oakland, and counted his friends and admirers by the hundreds. ; His trial on a charge of embezzling the city’s funds while acting as clerk of the Police Court came to a close yesterday, when the jury, after deliberating five min- utes, brought in a verdict of guilty as charged. A Percentage Called For. The Board of Public Works bas come to the conclusion that the street railroad companies of Oakland will have to pay the ercentage of their gross receipts called for Ey their franchtises to the city. & The ordinance under which the Council was authorized to demand a percentage of the grossearnings of street railroads in re- turn for franchises went into effect Novem- ber 28, 1889. Brown Is Recaptured. Tom Brown, the prisoner charged with burglary who escaped from the dock in Judge r{‘rick's court Monday, was caught at San Jose yesterday. Brown says that he walked out of the Courthouse and across the Eighth-street bridge into East Oakland, following the road to San Lean- dro, where he jumped a brakebeam and rode to San Jose. Missing From Golden Gate. Josie_Stanley, a i6-year-old girl, has mysteriously disappeared from Golden Gate. Last™ Saturday afternoon she left the residence of Mrs. Miller, where she is employed. The last seen of her was on the afterneon mentioned, when shewalked to- ward tne depot with a lady dressed in black. in the Oakland Increased Assessment. Assessor Dalton will turn over his as- sessment rolls to the Supervisors Monday next, when they will sit as a Board of Equalization. It is estimated that the in- crease this year over last will be at least 000. Tl The Manly Art. ete O'Brien, an ex-prizefighter, has nwf:)rn out a warrant for the arrest of Her- bert 1. Herrick. He charges Herrick with making threats against his life. ALAMEDA, A complaint has been drawn up by At- torney R. B. Tappan, in which the present Chief of the Fire Department is declared A usurper. It asks that he be ousted, that Gundlach be declared legally elected, and that costs of suit and damages be given against Krauth. The allegations of the complaint are virtually the same as those made in the contest before the City Trus- tees. Matilda Will Try Again. Mrs. Matilda Abbott, who is residing with her father, August Fromm, at the West End, is much disappointed in her recent failure to secure a legal separation from her husband, George H. Abbott, to whom she was married in New York after being released from a matrimonial en- tanglement with young Kittleson. A mo- tion has been made for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. Mandamus Suit Decided. Superior Judge Ogden yesterday ren- dered a decision in the mandamus suit to compel City Treasurer W heeler to pay the warrant drawn by the old Board of Library Trustees in favor of the Librarian for sal- ary for the month of May. Suit to Foreclose. Emeline C. Cole has brought suit against Frank J. French and others to foreclose mortgage on property at the corner of Cncinal avenue and Mound street as se- curity on a promissory note for $1000. The note was made payable to the Mutual Savings Union and transferred to plaintift. Rebekahs’ Anniversary. The Rebekahs of Alameda and Oakland will picnic at San Lorenzo Grove next Saturday, which is the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the Rebekah Degree. The pro- ceeds will go to the Odd Fellows' Orphan Home. BERKELEY. The Crescent Athletic Club, at a special meeting held last night, decided to do what it could towa rd making the reception to the victorious U. C. athletes, which will be held to-night at the Olympic Club rooms, a success. The Crescent men will be on hand with the other friends of the team at the foot of Market street at 7:45, and will go on wheels and in busses to the reception-hall. Putzker Backs Gayley. Albin Putzker, professor of the German language at the university, in a letter to a local paper yesterday, stated that he agreed to a great extent with Professor Charles Mills Gayley in his address before the last graduating class of the Berkeley High School. The address of Professor Gayley stirred up considerable feeling among his hearers, and he was charged with being too hard | on_the people of California and also of | being discourteous to his audience. { In Professor Putzker's letter he said in | part with regard to utilitarian education, which was the strongest point taken by | Professor Gayley: ‘‘Society outside of the school certainly isgiven in these days to an_esteem of | wealth and luxury unequaled in modern | hist and I should not wonder if some | mints produced a silver dollar with | inscription, ‘In This God We Trust,’ asa warping to man that he is in danger of worshiping at the shrine of the golden calf. “‘The so-called practical studies are often least practical; they lead to an eternal craving for increased material possessions, and take away great possibilities of mind and heart. When persons thus ‘practi- cally’ educated happen to go to legisla- tures or other responsible places, do they serve lofty ideals or do they think of per- sonal profit?”’ Gates on the Local. Gates, such as are used on the local pas- senger trains, will be put into use on the | Berkeley local. About three months ago | the company considered the advisability of putting gates on the trains, but the matter was temporarily dropped. DENTISTS TO ENTERTAIN, The Stomatological Club Will Tender Its Rooms to the State Dental Association. The Stomatological Club held its last meeting for the summer last night. The members decided to make the club a re- ception committee to entertain the visitors at the convention of the State Dental As- sociation. During the session of the convention, which lastsfourdays,;beginning July 9, the clubrooms at 235 Post street will be ten- dered the visitors as headquarters. The Stomatological Club was organized over a vear ago as the “‘Dental Club.” Tt was formed to enable the dentistsof San Francisco to meet and entertain the mem- bers of their profession who came to visit the Midwinter Fair. 80 much good and so greata fellowship was developed that after the fair the club was continued. Each Tuesday sfternoon was set aside for clinics. Then the mem- bers of the club brought the extraordinary cases that came under their consideration to the club rooms for operation and in the evening the clinics were discussed. The wider scope of the club made the name “Dental,”’ meaning f)ermining tothe teeth, insufticient. Dental surgery of to- | day requires a treatment of every part of the mouth and the organs near it. Therefore the name of the organization was changed. It was made the “‘Stomatological Club” and was incorporated with the following director: ‘Wm. J. Younger, president; Russell H. Cool, vice-president; S. E. Knowles, sec- retary, Thomas Morffew, treasurer. A. F.| Merriman Jr., J. A. W. Lundborg and L. A. Teague. The club will resume its clinics early in August after its members have returned from their vacation. e P, HOTEL ARRIVALS, PALACE HOTEL. A Peyton.

THE GRASSHOPPER PEST NOW. Its Ravages Have Been Confined to a Few Small Areas Here and There. Survival of the fittest is the law of busi- ness and trade, remarks Colman's Rural World. Itisnature's law. Poor farmers will be squeezed to death, There is no way to prevent it. The poor merchant goes down, and the shiftless mechanic never gets ahead; the same rule must work with the tiller of the soil. Word has been received that in a few spots in the northern part of the county the grasshoppers are playing havoc with the grape crop. One gentleman from above Cloverdale said that his grape crop would not be one-third of what it was last vear owing to the ravages of this pest. They seem to be confined to but a few small areas.~~Santa Rosa Star. Grasshoppers are in force on Dr. Robin- son’s ranch on the Merced River, says the Merced Star. They have stripped the | Hower garden of everything green, and are at present feasting on the alfaifa field. Thus far the orchard hasescaped, but their appearance there is looked for at any mo- ment, Rules of Horticulture. First—Perform every operation in the proper season and in the best manner. Second—Complete every operation con- secutively. Third—Never, if possible, per- form one operation in such a manner s to | render another necessary. Fourth—When called off from any operation, leave your work and tools in an orderly condition. Fifth—In leaving off work make a tempo- | rary finish, and clean your tools and carry them to the toolhouse. Sixth—Never do that in the garden or hothouse which can be equally well done in the reserve ground orin the back sheds. Seventh—Never pass a weed or an insect without pulling it up or taking it off, unless time forbids. Eighth—In gathering a crop, take away the useless as well as the useful parts. Ninth—Let no plant ripen seeds unless they are wanted for some purpose, useful | or ornamental, and remove all parts which | are in a state of decay.—Colman’s Rural World. Agricul!:ral Chemistry. | All good Soils contain within themselves | fertilizing elements sufficient to bring forth good crops for hundreds of years. A wise providence has withheld from man the ability to exhaust land more than to a limited extent. The farmer can, indeed, so far exhaust the land as to render it incapable of pxzo- | ducing a crop that will be remunerative; but, even when such is the case, thereis | an amount of Jatent fertility left sufficient | to sustain the population for ages. | To instruct the farmer how economically to develop this latent fertility and main- tain it in his land is the aim and object of | agricultural chemistry. It isthe interest of the farmer and also of the State to main- tain land in a profitable, productive condi- tion, and yet lands in the old States have become lessened in fertihty to a serious ex- | tent, and in the newer States the same sys- tem of exhaustive cultivation is pursued, and like results will in time follow. The time is not far distant, if it has not already arrived, when crops of all suit ble kinds can be grown more profitably in New England than in the West, and that emigration from here to wild lands there should cease. There are thousands of acres of land to be had here that the first year's crop | would pay for, yet many will go further | west and fare worse. The widespread maltreatment of land, must certainly have itsorigin in_false con- ceptions of the nse of land, and the im- }vroper management of it flows from that alse conception. | Land properly treated will increase in fertility and in aptness to bring forth fruitfully, because the elements of fertility are being’ not only gradually developed, but those that are free do progres: Chemical action in soils may unfold the rich treasures thereof and mechanical appliances render their effective aid, but if wrong conceptions of the use of land con- tinue, all means used to - increase its fertility will leave it more hopelessly ex- | hausted than before. | i | Land was given to live on, and whatever is taken from it as food should be returned as manure. Land so treated will increase in fertility, but land continually under the plow not only loses the mechanical con- dition favorable to fruitfulness, but insect | life is thereby greatly increased. Very | minute creatures attack the tender plants and sometimes a crop will nearly be de- | stroyed, while the same kind of plants, the same season, on land less injuriously treated. will yield a remunerative crop. Let land be properly dealt with, and chemistry will then come to the aid of cultivators of the soil, teaching them bLow | to stren ghen the growth of their plants, how to hasten the time of ripening, how to | improve the quality of their grain, and to increase the aroma of fruit, and how to cause soils now yielding inferior plants to | bring forth superior oues. It teaches us that alkalies give strength and stability to the stalk, that the phosphates hasten ma- turity, that lime renders peas more melt- I ing, potatoes more mealy, and has changed | rye lands into wheat-growing fields, ~ It | will also tell. us of the action of carbonic | acid gas on the small particles of rocky matter in the soil, ana what chemical changes result from the frequent admission of common air into the ground in the process of cultivation. There is much land worn out by bad management and so located that to bring it into condition with barnyard manure is out of the question, as it takes time with barnyard manure to get lands again into | 4 condition, whereas by the use of artificial fertilizers land may be made at once to {;roduce paying crops. Aslongas a farm as not reactied the highest point of culti- vation every means must be pronounced acceptable which puts the farmerin a posi- tion to provide his fields with more liberal dressing than he is able to give them from his own supply of home-produced, natural manure. hoever seeks to arrive quickly at this state of cultivation must make ex- tensive use of those auxiliary or artificial manures that are now offered him by com- merce. As long as these powerful agents for in- creasing the production of land were un- known an_advantageous rotation of crops was indeed the only means of insuring a large yield from the farm, and this leads slowly, but surely,to the result; now, on the contrary, it is in the farmer’s power, by buying additional manures, to attain his object with greater rapidity. The more extended employment of arti- ficial manures is an advance in farming that has already opened a new era. By this means the business of a farmer is he- coming more closely approximated than formerly to that of a manufacturer. For while formerly our farming arrange- ments were conducted in the manner which the guality of manure produced on the farm itself prescribed we are now free to cultivate, as may seem most profitable, every plant which is suited to the soil. Yes, still more, we can produce, as it were, with a single effort, fine harvests from worn-out and poorly manured land. ‘We can, in such case, secure in two or three years the same results for which formerly ten or eleven years were required. Whoever is now contented with the har- vest which a half-exhausted or but partially { manured field produces surrenders of his own free will the full income derived from the land. ANDREW H. WARD. Our Northern Fruit Lands. J. B. Carrington of Oakland has re- turned from a trip through the northern fruit districts, during which he has en- joyed a good opportunity to see and to judge, says the Oakland Enquirer. He left on the 25th of May and went up to Marysville on the east side of the valley, where he began visiting orchards. From Marysville to Redding he visited nearly every orchard of any importance, and coming down on the west side of the valley he did the same through Shasta, Tehama, Colusa, Yolo and Solano counties. Mr. Carrington gives it as the result of his ob- servations that there will be one-third of a crop of pears, and of apricots a very small crop indeed. There will be a big crop of fine peaches, while the crop of almonds is fair and that of apples good. This northern region, says Mr. Carring- ton, is one of the best fruit districts in the State. It is especially the home of the each, the pear, the prune and the apricot. There have been great areas planted to fruit in the last five years, but there are still good chances for industrious men. Good unimproved land can be bought at $7 to $35 per acre,and the very choicest can be purchased for $60. When™ it comes to improved land the prices vary accord- ing to the fancy or the needs of owners, but there are many chances to buy cheap if one will only look around and find them. As an example, Mr. Carrington saw one place of twenty acres, improved with barns and outhouses, which was held at $4800, but even at this price the owner was able to show that the property paid 15 per cent. Cultivation of Flax. As the flax industry is engaging much attention from farmers in various parts of California and the West generally these suggestions from Charles R. Dodge, special agent of the National Agricultural Department for fiber investigations, will be read with interest: Something more is required to set the flax industry on its feet than for a body of farmers to undertake to grow the plant for fiber. There is necessity for a class of skilled workers who will come between the farmer and the manufacturer in car- rying on the operations of retting and scutching. It is futile to expect the farmer to ret and scutch his flax; it is not done 1n any or tne iax countries except Russia. As the case now stands the farmer is hardly in position to grow flax save in an experimental way, until he is sure of a market, and the manufacturer or spinner is not in position to make offers of purchase or to name a price, because he is not sure of the quality that our farmer can produce, and he must have flax of a certain grade for his mills. This state of affairs, while not encourag- ing on the surface, does not mean that there is to be a deadlock, or that Ameri- can flax is doomed. It means that what a few izolated farmers cannot do alone must be accomplished by the establishment of little local industries. That is to say, that cultivation of flax for fiber must be communal. Let me explain. Small scutch- mills must be established in neighbor- hoods where flax can be successfully grown and farmers must agree to cultivate a few | acres of flax of a certain quality—under the direction of the mill managers if need be, to get the necessary standard. Fine flax can be grown in the United States, provided the farmers grow it intelligently and perseveringly—not one year, or two or three, but year after year, growing each year a little and growing it well. Low Prices Have a Lesscn, An Towa friend said the otherday, speak- ing about last year’s drouth, that he con- sidered it had been a blessing in disguise, s0o many farmers had been compelled to provide deep wells and windmills. Even so do we feel inclined to believe that the | present low butter prices may prove a blessing if they will arouse the farmers from their happy-go-lucky system to one 1 of plain, every-day business principles. High prices have allowed a system where the seven lean cows swallowed the profit of the seven fat ones, but, as we said the other day, low prices will compel us to de- { mand 250 pounds of butter, or more, from each cow. And to do this it is necessary to keep track of each cow’s yield. Instead of do- ing thig, we regret to say, there is a ten- dency “among the patrons of creameries and cheese factories to economize at the wrong end. They cannot but see the ne- cessity of reducing the cost of production, and at once commence reducing the cost of manufacturing by hiring cheap makers and buying cheap suppliee. Granted. even, that these attempts at economy do not result in a heavy loss (which they generally do) the reduction will only amount to a half a cent ora cent per pound of butter,and a quarter or half a cent per pound of cheese. On the other hand, by careful testing and weeding of the herds, and by a small addition of grain fed, the average can eas- ily be brought up from 150 pounds to 250 vounds of butter per cow, and the cost of production thus reduced 4 or 5 cents. This has been demonstrated again and again by the facts reported by practical farmers in these columns. Truths cannot be repeated too often, and we appeal to those of our readers who have been keeping an account during the past season to report the result, irrespec- tive whether they have reached the 350 Lmunds standard which our friend Shearer as raised unto himself, or even the more modest 250 pounds standard. — Hoard’s Dairyman. ; Sterility in Eggs. Inregard to sterile eggs, R. W. Davidson, editor of the Poultry Department of the Epitomist, says: * Where incubation is | carried on on a large scale, it will be no small item to feed up the infertile eggs. ‘We do not like hard-boiled eggs mixed with the feed; a very little is goo%, but too much is not. At the large duck farms, where thousands of eggs are set every month, all eggs are tested on the fifth or sixth day of incubation, and the unfertile ones are sold for culinary purposes. We dis- pose of our unfertile eggs in the same way, they being just as good for that purpose v.” T have been testing eggs for_ten years, adds Mrs. May Taylor, in the Fan- ciers’ Monthly, but never tried to cat one or use one for culinary purposes until this season, neither did I ever sell one, neither have I fed them to the chicks after the first or second season’s trial, for with me they proved a failure as chick food, not only the sterile eggs but eggs fresh from the nest, but have for the past few years thrown them away with the bad eggs; but hereafter they shall go on the market at market price, and I will sell them with a clear conscience, and the assurance that whoever buys them will not have to scramble them if they want fried eggs. There is always a dark object in the freshest egg which is the yelk. A novice must learn the difference before he dis- cards any. It will not take much experi- menting to learn which is sterile and which gns a developing chick in the early stages of growth inside the shell.
