The great majority of the horses were sold, and others were shipped off to the Vina rancho. Now this is all changed, as Mr. Merritt explains. The comparatively few horses left on the Palo Alto ranch have increased till there are over 500 head. These horses and others are to be taken in hand. ‘‘There are about sixiy head at Vina that will also be brought down,”” said Mr. Merritt. “‘One car was brought down to- day. All these will be added to the 500 and more that are at Palo Alto, and the crses will begin to undergo a thorough course of training, so as to develop them. There are horses there 3 years old that have been handled but very little. The | idea is to not only develop the horses now there. but to raise horses right along. “It bas been found, despite the low price of horses, that there is yet good | money in good driving and well-mated teams, as well as roadsters, and we will furnish them whenever we find we have got such horses. Of course the ranch will endeavor to produce as many star horses as possible, such as will win out on the track, despite the vast competition. All this is according to Mr. Lathrop's ides. We have got quite a string of youngsters and others, twenty-five at least, that will be put on the California circuit, and will appeat at Stockton, Marysville, Los Angeles, S8an Francisco, Sacramento and other piaces. “'A good deal more grain and hay will be grown at Palo Alto in order 1o support the horses. The orchards there are leased out. The vineyards the estate the grapes, and then there is the winery. Of course the Palo Alto ranch, as well the Vina and Gridley, consisting of 58,000 acres more, belong 10 the university, and the object is 1o make as much money out of them as possible.” xS .

Harmony Effected in the Interest of Building Up and Developing Oakland. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, May 12. Charley Hall, tie Paul Revere of the celelratea railroad strike of 1894, will soon be operating the signals of the Southern Pacific Company sgain after teing away from such work for nearly three years. Hall is a one-armed man and was one of the most active and prominent among the strikers. His name has been on the dis- charged Jist for all that time, and now through a correspondence between Coun- ctiman Cuvellier of West Oakland, where Hall lives, and Superintendent Fitlmore, an amnesty has been granted of a more radical nature than anything that has yet emanated from the railroad office. Mz. Cuvellier's letter and the renly from Mr. Fillmore show very clearly that there is no desire on the part of the railroad to harbor malice against any of its ex- employes, and that Charley Hall does not feel toward the company as he once d1d. The letter of Councilman Cuvellier is as follows: OAKLAND, April 30, 1897. A. D. Wilder, Division Supcrintendent South- ern Pocific Company, Oakiand—DEAR SIR: Char- lie Heil having signified to me uis intention of applying o bave his name removed from the discharged list, and als his desire 10 re- turn, if possible, to the service of the Southern Pacific Company, I make free to express the hope that you wiil give his request your ear- nest consideration and that you may concluds 10 recommend favorable action iu the matter, Without presuming to make any suggestions to the company in the matter of its relations 1o the strikers of 1894, I cannot help but think tnatif the Southern Pacific Company would declare a general amnesty to all the strikers (excepting. possibly, those who actuslly de- stroyed property or assaulted the men who 100k their piaces), and as the opportunity might present itseif, allow them to return to work, tne people of Oakland as & commun- ity would bear such action in gra teful remem- brance and it would doubtiess tend very much to the bringing about of a better feeling be- tween our citizens and vour corporation, £0 that apart from our cotfliciing property inter- ests, which must be settied by the courts, we could ail work harmoniously together for the development and buildiog up of Oakland into the great clty which it should be by right of its location and surronndings. Very truly yours, B. C. CUVELLIER, Councilman at Large. The reply from Superintendent Fiilmore o Superintendent Wilder reads as fol- ows: SAN FrANCISCO, May 7, 1897. A. D. Wilder, Superintendent Oakland Pier— DEAR Sik: I nave your favorof the 4.h inst., with letter from B.C. Cuvellfer, also one from W. W. Slater, our master of signals, and note what each of you has to say relative to the application for re-employment of Charles E. Hali, the one-armed towerman who was for ome time in our empioy up to the A. R. U. iubor troubles in 1894, he taking a very de- cided stand against the company at that time. As T undersiand his case, he was not in any way connected with those who disabled our engines or destroved our property, and his record up to the time of the strike had been all_that could be expected of any employe. Hence, particularly as he has & family to_sup- port, the company has no objection whatever 10 Lis being tuken back in the service. Cuvellier and several other citizens of Oal land, as weli us yourself and Mr. Slater, hav- ing become interested in his behalf, I have thisday taken his name from the discharged iist, and you are at liberty to give him em- ployment in any position he is able to fill. In this connection, wish to say that any others (especially menof 1amily) whose names nave not been removed from the dischargea iist, due to the fact that they have not spplied for re-employment, but who are now desirous of re-entering the service, if they arc usetul men to employ, and if they did not take such active purt s above referred to, namely, to 1the extent of disabling our locomotives or destroy- ing our property, 1 desire that they be given work whenever it is available, in preference to engaging new men. We bave already taken back ueariy all of the employes who leit our service during the 1ate iabor troubles, and with the prospect of an increase in business in the course of sixty or ninety days, necessitat- ing the putting on of additional men, I trust our requirements will be such that the few whom we have not yet been able to provide work for wil bare-employed in our service.
