With a Clear Title Nothing Can Hinder an Increased Commerce, An Example of What May Be Ex- pected Has Been Rec:ntly Furnished. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,| 908 Broadway, Jan. 1. } The prosperity of the year 1897, so far as Osakland is concerned, depends entirely upon the fate of her water front. The past year has furnished a remarkable example of what can be done in the way of devel- oping commerce by improving the ‘water front. A few months ago & new whart and bunkers were Gpened at the foot of Qak street, and that locality has been tue busiest marine commercial scene in the Following close upon the opening of the Adams wharf the necessity for an imme- noted and more contracts were let, which are now being carried out. These improve- ments, however, are an infinitesimal por- tion of what would be done if the ‘titie to the whole water front were hut as clear as fo that portion of it bordering.on the ‘Adams estate. With the closing day of the. old year came the gratifying news from Washing- | ton that the Secretary of War hidd ordered the reconimencement of work on the bar- bor. improvements, which means that the recommendations of Golonel Suter will be carried out.. The.money to be thus sperit wili materially improve the channel, and will eventually - lead ~to. the cutting through and opening of the tidal canal. But even when this is done unless title to the:many mules of water front.be decid d the full extent of its: benefits' cannot be obtained. % P Within the past week the first vessel to come to: Oakland without having the Custom-house. seals broken was doeked | land bas been declared a port of entry and all classes of ¥essels can come here Lo dis- | charge carzoes and. take.in ballast with- out- the hnecessity-of. crossing the bay, there is every reason o look for-increasad’ commetce. Peoplé.who profess to know declare openly that within a few months Oakiani and Corral Hollow, which-is al- ready connected by rail with Stockter, will be joned. by a steam road: When such a road 1s built.it is equally certain San Joaquin Valley. will be shipped direct to Oakland and there loaded into deep- water vessels. The.future. possibility of suck enterprise cannot be, overéstimated, Al this, however, depends solely on the freedom -of the water front. With-gondi- tions sich as have existed for forty years the harbor shores will coutinue to be frog- ponds and marshes and Oakland will be found at the close of 1897 no farther ahead thap at the'close.of 1896. ‘Oakland’s fate for 1897 now rests with the Supreme Court, There 1s a growing probability that the developments.at Emeryville which were so suddenly terminated about two years ago will soon‘be resumed. The great realty and streetcar syndicates, which are con- trolled by F. M. Smith of borax fame and his_ millions, are now passing through a system of reorgamization 0 asto make them dividend-paying properties. It has always been Mr. Smith’s idea to make his Emeryville property a central point for streetcar lines on this side of the bay and | from the pier which is already built there to run a ferry system to San Francisco. at the new wharves, and now that Oak- | This was abandonea when he went to Europe to raise money by placing borax stock on British markets.

' BERKELEY, CAL., Jan. 1.—The- direc- tors and managers of the various student journals published at the university are endeavoring to secure a printing office of their own for use in the pablication of their papers. They have interested Presi- dent Kellogg in the scheme and a strong effort will be made to obtain the nécessary material, as the plan would be jof great benefit to students. There are three journals published at the university which would be printed in the new.office. They are the Daily Berke- ieyan, Weekly Occident and University of California Monthly Maguazine. = All of these-are now printed in outside offices, and the expense of having the work done amounts to a sam that would help hard- working students through college. The principal mover in the plan is the Stud-|" ents’ Aid Society, which expects to be able to find émployment for many colle- gians when the desired type and presses are secured. It is proposed to employ students in the new printing office. There are many at the university who understand type-set- ting, and each year fieshmen enter who would be glad of the opportunity to work their way through colle_e by setting type. This will be the greatest advantage of the new scheme, and issthe reason why the’| Students’ Aid Society is so hard at work to carry it out. Another great-benefit will be the saving QUT FOR MSSION INPROVENENTS The Go-Ahead. Five-Mile Club Ready for Battle. Some Things Which They Feel They. Must ~ Have.

Not that' this or- ganization has ‘been dormant in this re- gard in its previous history, which extends only over a period of six months, but the needs have become so uigent and the membership has become 8o large that the club has outgrown some of the methods which sufficed in its late infancy.

The ‘‘Holiness Band” is compused of agitators for “‘entire con- secration,” and its ‘meetings aroused opposition fromthe first, when young students, were indpced to leave their studies and give themselves up to religious work. Payzant went to Guatemala and Parkhursy, with a brother and companions, made an evangelistic tour of . California towns.

The. region represented by the Five- mile Club is. an ex‘ensive ome. It is bounded by the Mission road, Holly Purk, University ‘street and the county line and embraces the Spring Valley, Col- lege ana Exce'sior homesteads. Dr. E. N. Torello, President of the club, isauthority for the statement that this district has been shamefully neglected heretoforé in spite of the fact that homes haye been in- creasing in it with remarkable rapidity. Chief among the demands of the com- munity is a new sohool building. Abont the necessity of that there can be no dis- pute, The present building did service on San Bruno road for a number of years. Then sbout fourieen years ago it was moved to its present location on China avenue, near the Mission road. As the attendance increased additions were made to the building, until now it is truly an edifice of shreds and patches. Its archi- tectural defects, however, would probably be overlooked if it were not for is suni- tary condition. In many respects it is a menace to the life of its occupants, and it bas been severely condemned by Health Officer Lovelace. "From the new Board of Supervisors the district hopes for a new schoolhouse. 3 Another cryisg evil is the unsafe condi- tion of the Channel-street bridge. When the Mission road was widened some years | back, this bridge for some reason was not made to conform to the road. Itissonar- row now that the cartracks occupy almost its entire surface. Iis retaining walls.are about twenty yéarsold-and each storm washes the ‘banks away in an alarming manner. During the recent storm sand _washed away the bridge and delayed the passage of the cars for several hours. On another occasion a car narrowly escaped being thrown over tte embankment by- debris which had washed on the tracks, Through the efforts of the club the water company was persuaded recently | to lay water mains along Mission road. The residents now see no reason why hy- drants should not be erected and the ex- travagant insurance rates'which they are now compelled to pay reduced. There is also a disagreemeént between the street railway company and the municipality.as to the correct: grade of the Mission road, which the club members are anxious to see abolished. Mission road was graded and macadamized at a cost of about $4 a front foot. S The grade established at this time the railroad company declares to be ir.correct, and they.aa ere to the grade of their own engineer. This is at some places several inches above the street grade, and isa constant menace to travel. The club hopes to have the track lowered. - The present pound limits are unsatis- factory to the residents of the district. The present pound limit is the interior boundary of the district in which the clup is interested. The members desire their district protected by the'pound ordinance, and hence wish the county line made the district. . There are a number of other improve- ments, such as lights, sewers and new streets, which the club hopes to obtain in good time. Demand for Colonel Pieraon.

FELL IN A CULVERT. - Escaped Drownirg and Walks Twenty Miles ‘'With a Broken Shoulder, ok OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 1 — Joseph Cloran met with a very unhappy ex- perience just at the time when ail sorts of noises were proclaiming the death of 1896. Cloran is a cigar-maker, and was walking along-the railrcad track from Irvington to this city. When a few miles on ‘his journey he slipped off the track and fell into a culvert. 5 . Owing to the recent rains there was quite a torrent of water rushing through the culvert, and Cloran, dazed and hurt by bis fall, was in dancer of being drowned. He succeeded in getting to the side of the creek after being swept through the culvert, and- as he did' not want to freeze to death in ‘his wet clothes ' he again took tha track and continued his way. 3 i All through the .bitterly cold air of the early morn the injured man tramped on, nor did he.cease till" he reached this city, when he went direct to the Regeiving Hospital. An examination showed that the fali in the culvert had- fractured a shoulder-blade besides inflicting other in- juries, Cloran considers he is a very Torturiate man to be alive, Stole His Own Stock. .

The'most valuable of these— the Liverpaol gold medal—is to be com- peted for annually in scraich play. This medal is of handsome design 4nd finjshed workmanship. It bears on one side’s mythical bird, with the name “Liverpool medal” subscribed. Oan the other sideisa representation of a golf-player in the act of making a vigorous stroke, Beneath tiiis is the .legend, “Far and sure.”” This medal was won yesterday by J. Lawson, who bad a handsome lead over his com- petitors.. ) The silver medal, also of beautiful de- sign, is to be competed for monthly. The contests for this token are to be handicap events, and hence some very interesting contests' are anticipated. In yesterday's match for this medal H. Babcock, with a handicap of 10, won. “He had mothing to | spare in his victory, however, for C.-Page, with a similar handicap, came within one of his score. The playing throughout this match was close and exciting. The day’s scores were not nearly so good as the players might reasonably exvect under more favorable circumstances. The links were' hedvy with the late’ rain and the footing was slow and uncertaip. This | tact.kept many out of the play who would otherwise have been competitors. There “was quite & large number of spectators during the day." The first match, for the Liverpool medsl, lasted from 10 A. M. to 12:20, and tue second match from 1:30 to 3:30. " "The members of the club péint with pride to the record they have made in de- ‘veloping the youth of the neighborhood into first-class caddies. The main diffi- culty they "explain was in keeping the boys from. entering S0’ thoroughly into. the spirit of the occasion as to forget -that they are _pdid re- tainers and following the example of their employers and accost the players as plain Smithor Brown without the respect- ful prefix. ‘That has all been remedied now. The boys lug the cases of goli sticks oyer the links in mute respect and every- thing is getting along nicely. “The following, is the result of the day’s matches: i COMPETITION FOR LIVERPOOT GOLD MEDAL.
