CAELaND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Au, 1 Hogreie of Crow Canyon Cree ssecuted next Tuesday in the Justices' 1 dro because he did” not elaborate fish-ladder, costing out §1000, across a creek in whi here vo inches of water and in which vrotected by the State Fish Com- n would be stranded. At least this s Mr. Hogreie's siery. Farmer Hogrefe owns — subject to a mort Crow cow uyon. He has a few horses and and although he manages to grow nt food for his stock, he has diffi- uring the summer njontks in pro- g water. His position is similar to t of dozens of other farmers in his lo- cality, and hence the great interest taken 1 his particular case. Xy A few weeks ago Farmer Hogrefé built a small dam across tne fast-lowering cre ladder, such quired. of the their 1as days ago he was arrested “*for illegally ing a creek.” as hie undersiood was re- sh Commission, and followed ctions as best he could. Hogrefe read the warrant, and as he isa | discon- v time man he was greatly o He could not recall af when he had used any valgar la ious T ywards and asked his assist- ance in regard to the alleged infringe- thent of the rights of tue people of the | State of California. Mr. Toyne is an | orator and a very erudite naturalized | Englishman. He read the Declaration of tependence last Fourth of July and to- night officiateds at_a select Populist gatn- ering at Sunol. Mr. Toyne at once set | . his iriend Hogrefe right. The warrant | was issued by the Fish Commission for | illegally restraining the waters of the| Crow Canyon Creek. | Farmer Hogrefe at once asked the| proper authorities what he should do. | He received a very elaborate plan of a fish-ladder that must be placed in all ! creeks that are dammed. There were side | elevations and front views and rear eleva- tions and end sections, and rows of figures | and hieroglyphics that were as Sanskrit | to Farmer Hogrefe, a cathode-ray ne-ative of the ruins of a | largs frame buiiding, wherein each piece | was seen through those between it and the eye. Neith-r Farmer Hogrefe nor Mr. Toyne could do anythinxz with it, and, in fact, neither would have made an affi- davit as to which was the top or \vlnch‘ ‘was the bottom, I don’t know what to do,"” said Farmer Hogrefe to-day. - “The plans I have were used for a big State dam near Folsom, and in Crow Creek there is not room -enough for the plans, much less for the elaborate structure that would cest not less than $1000. It is all nonsense to ex- pect me to build it. 1t would cost more than my farm is worth, and yet I am told that if I do notput it in I shall be fined $200. The commission has never even stocked the creek with fish, and it would useless for them to do so, as there is not be an inch of warer in 1t at this time of the year, and if I had not saved some water in my little dam I should have to go out of business.” BERKELEY WATER SPORTS Lively Races Between College Men op the Oakland Estuary.

Some time azo Mr. Thall was manager of the Alcazar Theater in its prosperous days, and from there he went East, from whence he returns full of ideas, of which he intends to give this city the full benefit “In 1870 I played with the first company that opened the oid Dietz Opera-house,” said Manager Thall to-dav. “We opened with Macdonough & Ernshaw’ E‘oyll Marionettes, and in those days Oakland looked upon & marionette show as a first- class atiraction. . For many years I re- sided here—1 am a Native gon—nnd now that I have been absent a few years I bardly know the city, “'People living here do not notice how fast this city is growing, Six yearsago there was not a theater here and notan electric road, and I used to tnink that Qak- land and Petaluma were about on a par, But now what a change! There is not a more handsome theater for its size in this country than the Macdonough. Of course, thlrl: are Il:r;tlr hcuae-a k}nt the Macdon- ough is 4 little gem, and I was greatly sur- prl‘ud when 1 first saw it.” o Mr. Friedlander has reviewed this grave fears are entertained as to whether she will recover.

An Enthusiastic Meeting of Republicans in Ala- meda. A Remarkable Stranger Who Wishes to Acquire the City’s Indebted- ness at 3 Per Cent. / ALAMEDA, CaL., Aug. 29.—A most en- thusiastic meeting of Republicans was held in Lindermau Opera-house this even- ing, L. C. Sloane being in the chair. On the platform were Messrs. E. A. Von Schmid:, Wheeler, Dunning, Johnsen, Barton, Young. Hon. 8, G. Hilborn said he did net want to talk politics, but just have a short chat on business matters. He would visit Alameda again later in the campaign. After alluding to his being defeated for Congress and his subsequent re-election, he related the methods he adopted to place the construction of the tidal canal on the continuous contract system. This meant that the people would never have occasion again to petition Congress for ap- propriations. . The engineers had only to furnish eco- nomical estimates of the amount of money necessary to carry on the work from year to year, and it would pass unchallenged. Since his return he bad been made aware that the original plans were to be deviated from and were based on ineomplet- infor- mation. The tidal canal must be com- pleted, and he would take care that as far as he was able the original plans were not deviated from, As to the postoffice, he remarked that Alameda wouid get that building when Alameda’s class was reached, and that was not this year, Otler cities have stronger claims. Hon, Mr. Hilborn then described the work ac- complished by the lust Congress'and said that, thanks to the able Tom Reed, nothing was done therein to manufacture campaign literature for the other side. The tariff bill introduced by Dingley would nave been law had 1t not been for the Democratic and Populistic Senate, and had the measure been made law no deficit in the treasury would have existed. The Congress did not pass the funding bill and for that is entitied to the thanksof the Nation. He compared the Powers and Reilly funding bills, and showed while both were bad the former was 4 pernicious measure, The speaker told how he had voted and worked against it, and the result was that the Sovihern Pacific was doing its best to have his scalp. He drew three brief sketches of the three men who sat near him in Congress apd with whom he was cl}lumm'mg, eKinley, Bryan and Watson. They were all three honest men, zood men, men he liked, but each was different from the other, and first and foremost of the three was the next President of the United Btates, He wished the women could vote, for if such was the case there would be no doubt who would nextoc- cupy the White House. For Bryan he said little, either one way or the other, ex- cept that he was a declaimer who learned his speeches by heart. Waison was disposed of with Tom Reed’s dictum that he fever knew exactly what scripture meant by a wild ass’s colt until he met Tom Watson. The Republi- can perty, he believed, was created to meet great National emergencies, to bring order out of chaos, and such a condition of things existed now. *With the St. Louis platform of protec- tion and sound money, with such a plat- form and such a leader,” he said, ‘“the Republican party cannot fail of victory in the fall.”” Mr. Hilbora then leit for Oakland to speak there, and Colonel Talcott of Oak- land and others addressed the audience. A Man With Capital ALAMEDA, Can, Auz, 29.—An indi- vidual named Frederick Fowler came into the city yesterday claiming to represent Eastern capital. Fowler was going to buy the city’s bonded indebtedness upons 3 per c-nt basisand establish a glace fruit factory in the town at an expenditure of $750,000, All he wanted was assur- ance—assurance from the Trustees that jor the flrst ten years the ascessments on the property and improvements should be nominal. His ingenuous manner pleased his auditors and the bonafides of the gen- tleman was not called in guestion, The evening papers took hold of the matter and an OQakland journal this morning wanted to know why the Oakland Board of Trade allowed such an inestimable prize to roost in its sister city. Fowler was to be at the City Clerk’s of- fice at 10 o’clock this morning to exhibit his credentials and further unfold his fl-nu, but so far he has failed to mater- alize. He went to school in Oakland twenty-odd years ago and is supposed to have just returned irom Mexico and has not yet been acclimated. Fowler visited the public library and in- quired into its management, the number of volumes on the shelves and the average daily circulation. To Librarian Har- bourne it was suggested that he should approach the stranger on the feasibility of erecting the library buildlng so dear to his heart. Bu: Harbouvrne said he was not looking for June bugs, and suggested he should visit the City Clerk. On the road to the City Hali ne fell in with a real estate agent, and to him Fowler remarked that he wanted a large block of land to erect a fireworks factory on. ‘‘Americans are great people for letting off powder and squibs, so it is sure to png." t was to the City Clerk he narrated his mtention of ereeting u_glace-fruit facto; and buying up the bonds. The City Cler! felt the project was too good to keep him- self and he mentioned the matter to sun- dry newspaper men, buton noacgount would he mention the name of the party interested, because the Southern Pacific might get in and spoil the whole business and take him elsewhere, nor was the mat- ter to get into the papers.
