SURVEYING THE NEW ROAD. Senators and Congressmen Will In- spect Oakland Harbor on Monday. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 21. S. T. Alexander, accompanied by his two daughters, Miss Annie and Miss Martha, and Will Cook, have returned from a trip to Europe, through which they have been traveling on wheels. The young ladies were met in New York by their mother, who will remain in the East for awhile, but Mr. Alexander came through to Oak- land. The returnea bicyclist tourist was seen at his residence, 1006 Sixteenth streef, last evening, and gave some interesting facts of his extended bicycle tour. “We were absent three months” he said, “allowing two months for touring on our wheels. It was a grand experience. I can imagine nothing more delightful. The European roads are excellent, and there is an ever-changing variety of scenery that sustains the interest, while the wheel af- fords the exhilaration. ““We were members of the Cycle Tourist Club, which issues valuable maps and books of all parts of Europe for bicycle tourists, giving distances, elevations and points of interest. On reaching England we wheeled from Liverpool to Chester to Conway and through Northern Wales. We visited Stratford-on-Avon and passed through Derbyshire. Atter going to Bir- mingham and several other cities, owing to my wheel needing some repairs I was compelled to wait to send it to Paris to be repaired on account of not being able to have it done in England. We went on to Havre, then to Paris. The roads in England, though of a flinty character, are usually good, but somewhat hard on wheels. The double tires are used there almost altogether. “The English thought our Columbias were too light and would frequently say, “Your American wheels may do fer run- ning about and light work, but they are not equal to touring.” We found, how- ever, that they stood the trip first rate. “The bloomer costume has not been re- ceived with much favor in England. 1 don’t think we saw over a dozen women wearing them. rance is an ideal country for bicy- cling. The roads are extremely smooth and well kept. Some of them for hundreds of miles are lined with shade trees—syca- | more, poplar and other kinds. The roads are macadamized and men are constantiy kept at work repairing them. “In Paris cycling is a furor. The scene on the Bois du Boulogne is a brilliant one. | The ladies of France take more kindly to the bloomer costume than their English sisters. Throughout France the journey s one of great interest. From Paris we went by Fontainebleau and through the into Switzerland. We found the mountain roads upon easy grades. The en- gineers manage to Inaintain an even gfade on roads where they wind around the face of mountains. “In Switzerland we visited Geneva ana the Swiss lakes, then we journeyed down the Rhone and through the Po Valley up to the springs of the Pyrnees. A trip | through the gorge of the Tarn, between precipitous walls, reminds one of Yo- semite Valley experiences. “We went to Lourdes through charming landscapes back to our point of departure for home. We covered about 1804 miles on our wheels. “We made about fifty miles a day, some- times seventy. *‘1n England about $2a day will cover expenses, less in France and Switzerland. Altogether it was a pleasant and inex- pensive trip.” To Inspect the Harbor. Monday next California’s Senators and Congressmen will inspect Oakland harbor, so that they may better understand its needs and_advantages. To-morrow after- noon the Senators and Congressmen will meet at the Palace Hotel and meke ar- rangements for the proposed inspection. The Merchants’ Exchange and the Board of Trade of Oakland are working . together for the purpose of making the inspection beneficial for the city and agreeable for the visitors. Ata meeting of the Board of Trade resolutions were adopted reciting the fact of the proposed visit, tendering the co-operation of the board, inviting the Merchants’ Exchange to co-operate, and also inviting Mayor Davie, members of the Council, Board of Works, Supervisors, residents of all Oakland banks ana the rustees of the city of Alameda to join the party. Making Progress. The work on the_electric road from Oak- land to Livermore is beine steadily pushed. Surveyor Russell has finished his survey from San Leandro to Haywards, and if his lines are not departed from this part of the road will be less than six miles in length, or just about the length of the Oakland and Haywards road between the same points. The route for the new roadis a very picturesque one, as it follows the foothills and is at a sufficient eleyation to give a good view of the orchards between it and the bay, and also a view of the bay. According to the survey the road will come into Haywards near Liedel's place and cross the San Lorenzo Creek near Kimball orchard. Another surveying party is at work in Castro Valley picking.a route via Lake Chabot. If a route this way should be used Haywards would be off the main line and would have to be connected by a spur track, but if the Russell survey be fol- lowed Haywards will be on the main line. New Board of Officers. At a business meeting of the Ladies’ Co-operative Aid Society of Oakland the following officers were elected to fill vacancies for the remainder of the year: President, Mrs. A. H. Hanley of "Ala- meda; vice-president, Mrs. O, A. George; recording secretary, Mrs. L. Chapman; directors—Mrs. L,” E. Shanom and Mrs. Chapman of Alameda, Mrs. Deal and Mrs. 0. A. George. A committee of three was appointed to take an inventory of all the property of the society and report at the next business meeting, which will be on the first Wednesday in October. The Latest Offer. The latest offer to the University Re- gents for the Wilmerding School repre- sents the joint liberality of two well- known proverty-owners, Hugh Dimond and A. B. Brendenmuhl, each of whom is to give one-half. Their proposed site is at the head of Fruityale avenue, and com- vprises the first knoll back of the village. It is somewhat similar to the elevation upon which the German Altenheim has been placed. but is said to bea little higher. Two car lines, with transfers from the steam line and downtown cars, run to a point close by. To Be Sent East. The handsome gavel to be donated by the ladies of the Oakland and San Fran- cisco Young Women’s Christian Associa- tion to the International Congress, to be held in Buffalo, will not be taken East by a member of the Oakland Association, as first intended. It will be presented by one of the SBan Francisco Association, by the desire of the Oakland ladies. Young Men’s Institute. Oakland Council No. 6, Y. M.

HISTORY OF A DAY, Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 8 Broadway, Sept. 21. ! Haywards is at present debating whetheg to dispense with shade trees or sewers. The Superior courts were closed to-day. There were no cases on the calendars and the Judges were taking a respite. The Japanese working at the Bamberger Salt Works at Mount Eden are bewailing the de- parhure of their manager. A settlement is de- sired. The photographic telescope donated by Mr. Pierson of San Francisco will be placed in Y’D:iiion at the Chabot Observatory during ecember. William Allison has been appointed post- master of Elmhurst, vice Simonsen, resigned. Mr. Allison has been acting postmaster since Simonsen stepped out. The City Attorney has decided that the East Oakland Street Railway Company must stand its share of the expense in the replacing of piles under the Eighth-street bridge. . The Board of Education at their last meet- ing forgot to pass the salary claims for the vast month, and a special meeting has been called for Monday night for that purpose. At a meeting of the joint Prohibition com- mittees of Alameda and San Francisco coun- ties, held on Tuesday evening, a vote of thanks was extended to all who took part in the pro- gramme on Admission day and to the Boys' Brigade. It was decided to bold a Prohibition conference early in October at Hamilton Hall. A fire broke out in Fruitvale this morning at about 2:30 o'clock, Three houses were totally destroyed, owing to poor water supply. Two were owned by the Twenty-third-avenue Land Association and the third by Mr. Pulsifer. The houses were situated on Champion street, near school. The loss was nearly $3000. The cause of the fire is unknown. LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Public Opinion on Bonds Is Stirred Up and Found Conflicting. At the Beauty Contest a Co-Ed Iina Sophomore Costume Became “Queen of Fame.” BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 21.—A canvass has been made among some of the leading ns of the town within the last few, ys for the purpose of determining the public opinion with regard to the proposi: tion now before the Board of Town Trus- tees and taxpayers to bond the town for the purpose of erecting and properly equip- ping a suitable High School building, the sum required being in the neighborhood of $70,000. Various opinions have been expressed in relation to the matter, all of which point to the idea that a new High School struc- ture is an absolute necessity, but a number of those whose opinions have been asked do not favor the idea of bonding the town for any greater amount at the present time, argning that $93,000is quite sufficient for a place with no larger tax roll. Others say that a town of this size is not doing what it ought in the way of progress unless bonded for at least $150.000 or $175,000. An election for the purpose of determining whether to issue the bonds asked for by the Board of School Directors will be held before a great length of time, but from in- dications it would seem that a fight over the matter is imminent. A Co-Ed the “Queen of Fame.” At the beauty show given at Shattuck Hail _this _evening by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church, in which the most famous and beautiful women of all ages were represented, Miss A. R. Krenz, a university co-ed, was crowned the “Queen of Fame” by the goddess presid- ing. The costumes worn by some of the char- acters were strikingly beautiful. among which was Joan of "Arc in a full suit of armor. Each of the candidates for the crown to be bestoved upon the most charming and most bgantllulp was announced by a page to the Queen, who bade them come forth and give their reasons for a claim to the diadem. Miss Krenz, to whom the honor was bestowed, was clad in a typical sopho- more co-ed costume—a mortar board and gown. Following is the cast of characters: Goddess of Fame. Mre, H. N.

Among those present were: Miss Williams, Miss Smoot, Miss Anna Head, Miss Blake, Miss Duff, Miss Dean, Miss Greenleaf, Miss Bakewell, Miss Evelyn, Miss Shepard and Miss Dunham.

The Sale of Oakland’s Boulevard Tract Certain of Success. Saturday next will witness the sale of the boulevard tract in Oakland, and the event promises to attract a large throng of speculators and home-seekers. [t has been a long time since such a notable sale took place across the bay, for §50,000 has been spent in improvements preparatory to the approaching auction. The boulevard property is pre-eminently the finest for residence purposes in Oak- land. Itisdestined to be the first link in the chain of fine homes which will be con- structed around Lake Merritt, and it has the advantage of location over all the rest, for, while it enjoys the scenic charms, it is located the closest to town, and hence be- comes of greater value for homes for busi- ness men. 5 Two ot the leading electric roads of Oak- land pass the property, and all of the other lines that come totown are within a radius of half a dozen blocks. As for the pictur- es(l;ucness of the spot it has the blue peace- ful waters of Lake Merritt at its feet ana the 31"1' and valleys of Piedmont to the north, The entire tract is macadamized and surrounded by cement sidewalks, and is drained bya complete sewer system. It has most thorough communication to all arts of Oakland, for its southern boundary is Twelfth street, the eastern outlet of the city, and on the north and east the princi- al thoroughfares of town are reached. ixceptionally easy terms have been ar- ranged for the sale, only one-fifth cash be- ing required, i BIG FIRE AT HAYWARDS, A Tobacco Traveler Credited With Saving Half the Town. ONLY A HEARSE WAS SAVED. The Damage Will Amount to Over Twenty Thousand Dollars. 0agrAND OFFIcE SAN FrANcIScO CALL.} 908 Broadway;, Sept. 21. Haywards was visited this evening by a disastrous fire that consumed more than $20,000 worth of property before it was got under control. About 4 o’clock a lad, Henry Thomas, rushed out of Geary & Grindell’s stable shouting fire, and a moment Ilater smoke was seen issuing from the main en- trance. The alarm was given, and the volunteer department responded with commendable alacrity. . Before a stream could be brought to bear on the stable flames broke out from half a dozen different places, and it was atonce seen that the whole block was doomed. The stables ran clear through from Castro street to Webster, and before the alarm had been given half an hour both ends of the building were in flames. Several horses were in the stables and a few were led out, but some perished in the flames. Assoon as it was apparent thal the stables were doomed the attention of the brigade was directed toward saving the Hayward Villa Hotel and the Castro Theater. Four streams in all were brought into one and as there was a big pressureon the mains they did good work. Theefforts of the firemen, however, were considerably handicapped by a hizgh wind that prevailed all the evening and fanned the flames directly toward the hotel. Several times portions of the hotel were on fire, but the firemen reached the flames each time before any material damage was done. By 5 o'clock the stable and buildings overhead and the carriage-houses were completely destroyed and the fire was fast annihilating the Smaliey block, which ad- joined the stables. Smalley’s block is two stories, the lower floor being occupied as stores. The upper floor was used as a dwelling by Henry Thonford. One of the stores was vacant, the other was used asa paintstore. The whole building was con- sumed, and by that time the fire was under control on that side. On the other side the firemen attempted to confined the flames to the stabie block and after three hours’ work they were suc- cessful. The hotel was badly scorched and charred in places, but no serious damage was done. The fire was checked by the theater in one direction and by the hotel | in the other. The hero to-night is F. W. Johnstone, a commercial traveler for a wholesale to- bacco tirm. He is a stranger to the town, but he at once assumed command of the tire brigade, atd as he evidently knew his business the firemen gladly plac-d them- selves under his leadership. During the fire he was several times struck by falling timbers, and once a horse stamped on his foot, but nothing deterred Johnstone, and all Haywards is doing him homage. As -oon asthe fire was over he went to his hotel to change his clothes. He was visited by a delegation of citizens who looked upon him as the savior of the southern part of town. A subscription was set afoot to give Johnstone a testimonial, but as soon as he heard of it he sajd he would accept noth- ing. Finally he said that if the town wanted to replace his ruined suit of ¢lothes, he would permit them to do it. A purse of $30 was made up on the spot, but John- stone said his suits never cost more than $35, and he returned the balance. The proprietors of the stables were in Centerville at the time of the fire. attend- ing a funeral, and when it was all over t: ey drove into Haywards on their hearse, all that was saved of about $20,000 worth of proper! In the stables were numer- ous buggies, wagons, hacks and private carriages, as well as hundreds of sets of harness. Only a few days ago the winter stock of hay was Jaid in, and this materi- ally helped to spfead the flames. Mr. Geary said to-night that a very small amount of insurance was carried, but declined to state the amount. The Smalley block was worth about $3000 with the furniture. LATE REWS OF ALAMEDA Meet of the Alameda Driving Association Yesterday Afternoon. An Option Secured on Two' Sites for the Wilmerding School of Arts. ALAMEDA, Car. Sept. 2.—Why the strong north wind which was blowing this afternoon could not have kept off for an- other day puzzled the gentlemen who have worked so hard these past few weeks to make the meet of the Alameda Driving Association the success that it really was, notwithstanding the wind, which made things rather uncomfortable. People took everything good-naturedly, however, and wiping the dust out of their eyes looked upon the amateur gentlemanly horsemen with interest. The attendance was large, pedestrians lining both sides of the track far down from the finishing post. There were vehicles of all descriptions, and these drew up so as to break the force of the gale. The races, although scheduled to come off at 1 o’clock sharp, did not commence until after 2 o’clock. The races were not fin- 1shed, and some of the heats will be run off next Saturday. The track was in splendid condition. The following are the results: The first was a free for all pace, won by Allie Oresco in two straight heats. It was not record-breaking weather and the time was 2:26)4 for the first and 2:21)4 for the second heat. In the second race, a free for all trot, Don won the first heat in 2:283, . Oakville Maid the second in 2:30} and Guy Vernon the third in Zzzflfig. Notime was taken in the succeeding heats and the prize was given to Don, while the second and third went to Oakville Maid and Guy Vernon. In the third race, for horses in the three minute class, Dollie B carried off the g%r:;‘orz, winning two heats in 2:47}{ and The fourth and fifth races were not run off. In the fourth, for horses of the 2:35 class, Alfredetta came in on the first heat in 2:31, while the second heat was captured by Dick in 2:2434. In the 2:50 class Rasp won the first heat in 2:52 and Kittie the second in 2:4834. In the second heat of the third race, Mr. Cohen, who was driving Frenola, was knocked off his seat, but was not injured. Wilmerding School Sites. The Wilmerding Trades School Sites Committee, the Board ‘of City Trustees and many prominent citizens met in the Trustees’ chamber last evening, to receive the report of the committee. The chair- man, Dr. C. L. Tisdale, announced that after considerable trouble two sites had been secured in Alameda, and he doubted whether they could be beaten in California. QOne site was the property of Captain Thompson, on High' street, and could be bought for $10.000. It contained over five acres, running back 1360 feet to San Lean- dro Bay. The second was in_ the center of the -city, on the south side of Central avenue, near Webster-street station, and could be bought for $7250. Both were most easy of access. The chairman scouted the idea that Ala- meda could not raise $10,000, and thought it would be an easy task. A committee of nine is to be appointed during next week | to raise subs riptions, conditional, of course, upon the acceptance of a site by the regents. Some thirty $100 checks are already filled out waiting to be handed over when the subscription list comes round. Sieben Denies the Charges. Philip Sieben has denied the charges in the suit brought against him by the Wheeler & Wilson Company, wherein they tried to have the deeds he made to his wife set aside on the ground that they were fraudulently made. Sieben applied some time ago to be declared an insolvent debtor, and among his largest creditors was the Wheeler & Wilson Company, which held notes which he had signed for his son. 1In his answer Mr. Sieben allezes that at the time of the transfer of his prop- erty he was about to undergo a psinful and dangerous operation. H.s indebtedness to the company at that time was only $350. The Special Library Tax. Although not quite 2s enthusiastic as they were a few weeks ago the advocates for a special library tax bave not given up hope. When the municipal tax levy is taken up by the Trustees the levy will, no doubt, be thoroughly discussed. City Trustee Flette is in favor of a special levy because a majority of the people voted in fayor of it. He thinks, Eowever, that as taxes are going to be high the people can afford to wait a year or two longer for a Library buildin e e e —— NO CAPITAL YET FOUND. Oaklanders Not Infatuated With a Tempting Bait From Chicago. 0aKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 21. | The plans for building a raiiroad from Oakland to Stockton are not making much progress. Judge Simonds, who came here a few weeks ago authorized to make con- tracts on behalf of Eastern railroads, has not met with any real encouragement, and has now taken up his headquarters in San Francisco. Judge Simonds’ plan was to induce local capitalists to subscribe a small amount of money, then issue. bonds, which Eastern buildérs will take up and build the road. Simonds was very particular in stating that he was not a capitalist himself, but merely a ‘“‘promoter.” M. J. Keller, president of the Board of Trade, who has bad more dealings with Simonds than any one_else, is not verK sanguine that the road will be built througi the efforts of the Chicago man. , “Practically nothing has been done o far,” said Mr. Keller to-day, ‘“although the contracts held by Mr. Simonds are from reliable firms. They merely agree that certain things will be done if a certain amount of stock Is subscribed.” z The bankers of Oakland have been in- vestigating Mr. Simonds of Chicago and hisJ)ropo.-i on to build a road from Oak- land to Stockton, and they have decided not to indorse the scheme. ~A bank official said to-day: The proposition to build a road from here to Stockton on the terms proposed by Mf. Simonds is not a good business ventare. . In the first place, we cannot understand the motive that prompts Eastern capitalists to build usa road, when we all know that the shyest stocks in the East to-day are Pacific railroad bonds. With the opposition of the Southern Pacific and its hold of this State, Eastern investors want nothing to do with us. If they were looking for investment in raile roads they would most certainly take stock in the Valley rond, which is an assured venture, rather than in & concern with no appatent backing. Again, Mr. Simonds says if the people here will put'up a small amount of capital the East- ern builders will take up the bonds and build the road. Now, in this State bonds can only be issued for the amount of stock paid u This would only leave two “small amounts, and no road ean be built under such condi- tions. Another objection is that if the Eastern builders are encouraged to come here they will certainly bring Eastern material with them, and nobody wants to see that. If thereisany- thing in the road for Eastern capitalists there is more in it for local men. There is a demand for all the railroads we can get, but this scheme irom Chicago does not quite fill the bill. A GURE FOR 5.
