There Was No Hasty -Flight From Mrs, Bassett's Ranch, The Oherry Crop Was 8o Light That It Did Not Even Pay: the Rent. OAKLAND OFricE Sax FEANCIS00. CALL, 908 Broadway, June 30 } Mrs. Bassett of Haywards has returned to her ranch, which was'so sucdenly va:: cated by the Armstrongs two weeks ago. In thie story published regarding’ the -oir- tenants, some statements appeared which do-'mot fairly. represent. the position of George:. A.. Armstrong and his son, D. F. Armstrong. g "When we took the ranch,” seid ‘Mr. Armstrong senior, ‘‘we executed a.lease for.'a 'year, -with the option of another yesr.: We : were -to pay Mrs. Bassett $100- down, which'we did, anid at the expiration of ninety days'we were to. pay $300, as the baiance ef the ¥éar’srent. - This $300 was secured to’ Mrs. Bassett by & mortgage on the cherry crop. .-After-working ateadily for thres months -with: my two sons we found ’ that we counld not make the ranch pay. . The cherry crop was light; and ‘as we had done so much work, I thought we wers efifitled to it, although, of.course; I knew:that Mrs. Bassett held a mortgare on it.tn secure her rent. I sold -about §60 worth of ¢herries and colsidered that we bad earned the money;-so I kKeptit. “When the ninety days were up:Mrs, Bassett called on us, and I told her that 1 had been gble to'get no'money and thatit would be impossibie to pay ‘her at that time.. She gave me a littie extra time, but-as it was impossible to raise anything like'the rent out of the crop we decided that we'had better quit, we. put every- thihg in as good condition: as we could and packed up and left, anid I have.not seen Mrs. Bassett since. That is the true story. The lesse is in-my name and not in the name of my son.’’ D. F. Armsirong, the son, is now set- tled in business in this city as a piano- tuner. During the correspondence with Mrs. Bassett over the rent he wrcte: the. lady some letters, and wiien - Marshak Ramage was requestea .to. recover the horse, which wes missing from the ranch, the letter referring 1o the ‘animal. was signed **D. F, Armstrong.” _ This led. THE Carr's Hayward correspondent into- the error ol believing that D. F. Armstrong was the lessee of the ranch. 'This was not the case. . *'I'had nothing to do with the ing of the Tanch,” said D. F. Armstrong last night.. “'I‘worked there jor my father just as hired ‘man, and I do not want people to think:that I had anything to' do with the cherry crop or anythingelse. I was at the ranch thres months and have now re- tutned to Oakland and have aeain started | my regular busines of piano-iuning. " I am rather proud of my name and natur- ally do not wish to see it figuring inany unpleasantness.’” 3 Inthe publisbed story a ‘statement was made that Marshal Rimage was looking | for D.-F. Armstrong and that he had sent out some cards to try to help himin his | search. This is a mistake. Constable | Lake, not Marshal Ramage, was anxious | to find Mr. Armstrong in order to arrange | a sestlement about the horse and no postals were sant out from thé Marshal’s office. Thisstatement is madein justice to Mr, Armstrong. A SO0W. DAMAGED. 1 The Sophia E Drifted Up. Against the ‘Senwall. . OAKLAND; CAL, June 30.—The Sophia B, 4 scow-plying betwéen here and Ban Francisco, drifted upon the:seawall last night -and stove a hole in ber bottom.: She had unloaded a load of flour at. the Webstei-street wharf and wasreturning empty when the acc ident happened. ‘It caused a loss of about $250. . The wind died suddeniy and the scow drifted on to the'end of the south wall.” The: tide re- ceded and left her bigh and dry. Nodamage would have resulted had fnot the creek steamer plowed by. The waves-caused the scow to pound on the rocks.-uniil water poured in. .Later the hole was plurged, and at an_early hour thifs morning the tug Annie towed her off and over.to. the shipyards, only a little | distarice from where she lay on the oppo- site shore. Captain George Hoffman was in charge at the time of the accident. To- night the scow was pumped. out, and she will be ready to go across the bay to-mor- oW, Preparing a Reception.

NEW TOWN OFFICERS. Speculation as to Whom the Berkeley Town Board Will Appoint for the Ensuing Year. BERKELEY, Cav,; June 30.—The gues- tion of the town’s printing at last having been decided, much curiosity is prevalent to what changes, if any, will be made in the personnel of the staff of appointive town officials. It has been the rule in times past to losé but little time in creating and then filling new offices and supplying the old ones with new blood. 8o far the present board" has given no indieation of an official na- tura that any changes of moment will be made at present. The name of W. H. Waste has been mentioned as the possible successor of Town Attorney Hayne. As to the ap- pointment of new men to the positions of Health Officer, Street BSuperinténdent, Sanitary.’ Inspector and Civil Engineer but little has teen said. Salaries Restored.

There seems to be a strong undercurrent of -opinion, how- ever, thatit will not be long until a_hap- pler state of affairs may be expected. There can bs no doubt that prosperity is returning, and there is every.reason to believe that a marked change -for the better. will have taken place before fall trading actually begins. The.only thing to be desired now is the passage. of the tariff bill by the Senate. As soon as. that measure becomes a law there is certain to bé an industrial awakening that will start the wheels of commerce in-alf branches of trade. i The propoxition to. found a ‘‘Mission zoological park” is exciting considerable comment in commercial circles:at this time, both pro and con. The straitened condition of the public fundsis made the | excuse for those who are opposed -to the project. The others hiave a variety of rea- sons for their thoughts on this important subject. 3 Thomas Magee & SBons ‘are-so strongly opposed to theidea that they have seen fit to.call it an ‘‘outrage” and ‘as “‘absurdly unneesssary.” They believe.that it would be-the “acme of extravaganceand foll “San Francisco, with a - population not probably exceeding 300,000 peopie,” says their circular, “'is better supplied with parks. than ‘any city of Jikesize in the world, - We have Golden Gate: Park of 1013 acres.” There is slso the whole Pre- sidio reservation of 1480 acres, which is. maintained by Uncle Sam withouta cent of éxpense 10 the City. Our-pevp'e have | s fall use of the.reservation as though it | were a_part of‘the City. There is also | Buena Vista Park of 36 acres, from which exceedingly fine panbramic views of the | bay and hills:east, north and southward | are to be had. In ad ition to this there is | the Cliff House and Sutro Heights above it. If the taxpayers were Jloaded: with. ! money this Mission Park scheme won!d be.an ntter work of supererogation; buf when it is remembered that with nine people out of ten a doilar a day is as diffi- cult to obtain as three or five were in'the 200d times -five ‘or six years ago.the -out- | rage of such a project is fully seen.”’ | ‘Among those real estaté men-who take decided issue with this view of the sitna- tion is Charles Campbell. Though he is infavor of the scheme as a general propo- sition, he nevertheless believes: that-the principal burden of the expénsé should fall upon the residents of that section which will receive the largest benefit from th'e proposed park. “TLand n tuat direction is'very cheap now,'” he asserts, ‘‘much cheaper than it | is likely to be not very long from this | time, and the inhabitants are very anx- ious to sell. As regards the feasibility of the provosition, to -my mind. it admits of no doubt. We have parksin every part of the City butthe Mission, and in justice to it nothing would be fairer than té give it an equal show. As1s: however, the people of that part of the City should be willing to pay -the major portion of the | expense.” 3 2 As a means. of benefiting the City Campbell is heartily "in - favor = of: starting the agitation® for.the = re- pavement of Market street at'this particu- lar time. In hisopinion there is nothing that would have a tendency to create 'a more favorable opinion of thie City in the sight of the principal thoroughfaré should be that of a well-paved street and not -a| mass of cobbles. He beliéves that the re- pavement of Market street. alone would. have a strong tendency. .lo advance the price oi real estate in general.
