THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, . JULY 21, 1897. 11 PRODUCE MEN START A WAR San Francisco Will Fight Before Losing Her Trade. Three Steamer Lines Started in Less Than a Couple of Weeks., Fruit Will Be Sold Next Friday at Prices Much Lower Than Market Quotations. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jaly 20. } The competition between Oakland and San Francisco over the Sacramento River it trade has rapidly assumed a very lively aspect.. Assoon as Hunt, Hatch & Co. opened up a depot on the water front and commenced running a regular steam- er between the river points and this city the other dealers could not any longer af- | ford to buy through the San Francisco houses aud ship across the bay, so they hartered a steamer and put her on the ame route, The result of this breakaway from the San Francisco commission men was seen to-day when an agent from across the bay visited the local dealers and told them that the steamer Modoc would be at the Broadway whart either Thursday or Fri- day morning, with a full cargo of fruit d produce that would be disposed of at prices lower than those prevalling in Sun Francisco. The new venture is doing business under the firm name of L. Scatena, McDonough & Runyon of S8an Francisco. Their agent stated that local dealers would find it re to their advantage to deal with Modoc’'s cargo than with the ship- oi either the Duxbury or the San nzo. G. Manuel, who has been among the Sacramento River growers, has returned, and reports that hundreds of orchardists are g'ad that Oakland is supplying a new direct market for their produce, as thev do by think ireated them just right., When it was learned 8an Francisco deal- were coming to compete with Oal d commission men in their own terri- tory it was at once stated that tiie new X ers ny, which, it is eaid, is interested ng the business in San Francisco. This is denied by C. W. Hunt of the only firm that is at present actually estab- ed on the water front, and the pioneer he direct shipments. 1 il with Mr. Smurr and Mr. <r with regard to starting in nere,” said Mr. Hunt to-day, v advised me to go ahead. They sed to aid us in all possible ways, I do not believe they would start an- r company in opposition to us. Of he Modoc belongs to the Bouth- fic Company, but then their boats re for rent the same as their ca: It ¢ rests with the people of Oakland hether they will patronize their own dealers or a rival company that has come e because we were cutting into their trade. ‘If they coula freeze us out they would bave control of the market as they have done in the past. Should they succeed in doing 80, the consumers of thls y would then pay the commission to the San kran- cisco houses, a8 they have done for twenty years.” i It is very evident that the war will be | on in earnest on Thursday or Friday. The enormous produce and fruit business of | this City is worth fighting for, and the San Francisco dealers are not likely to see it slip away from them without a little | struggle. — | WOODMEN COMPETITION. el | Cypress Camp Wins a Prize Offered | by the Oakland Members. | OAKLAND, CaL, Ju 20.— Cypress Camp, Woodmen of the World, won the compelitive drill last evening from Spruce | Camp in the rooms of Oakiand Camp. | The former is from Haywards, while the eated team hails from the Encinnl{ { ci was crowded by over 400 | and the team from each of | The hall Woodmen, t iting camps introduced two strang- | while members from the other twelve | camps in the county lookea on.

Gilpin, tax collector of this city, to prevent him from selling the road for delinquent taxes, also a motion to dis- solve the injunction. he company’s attorney objected to the matter coming up in vacation, but Mr. Condon’s arzument that a public of | whose duties weres mandatory, should no | be held by vacations, took the Judge’s ear ] and the argument proceeded. The law 1n the case was so plain and well presented that his opponents had to admit that they could see no chance to hold the in- junction. However, they appealed for more time and were given until Monday, after the Judge intimated that he would grant the motion for a dissolution. Reconstruction of the Webster Bridge. OAKLAND, Car, July 20. —General Manager J.

It Ts Still Unsettled Whether Berkeley Will Have a Day at the Oakland Exposition, BERKELEY, CaL., July 20.—It is still an open question whether Berkeley will have a “'day”’ at the Oakland Exposition. It was expected that when Directors John T. Bell, M. J. Kelier and Craigie Sharp appeared before the Boerd of Education last evening they should find the Town Trustees and & mass of citizens awaiting them also. The Board of Education was there, but no Trustees and other citizens. As individuals the members of the boara expressed hearty sympathy with the proposition, but they declared their ina- bility to do anything officially. Thursday of next week has been set aside by the exposition directors, but it is not yet known whether the university town will accept the courtesy. Efforts | will be made to organize for work and to 10 6000 members, of whom about 1500 are prepare a programme.

LOOKS LIKE A FAILURE, Probability Tl‘m;i';;e_re Will Be No Alameda Day at the Oakland Exposition, ALAMEDA, CaL, July 20.—The pros- pect now is that there will be no special Alamedz day at the Oakland Industrial Exposition. When the project was first broached acommittee was appointed, com- posed of promin-nt residents ol this city, which appointed sub-committees, the of the project and started to carry it out, but it bas so far been impossible to agree upon the terms upon which the city is to bave aday set apart for it. The committee thought tbat some concession should be mads to it by the exposition itself and by the street railway line that would profit by the event. They proposed if the expo- sition would give $75 and the railroad a like amount that they would make the day a success and persuade ail the people to attend, the money obtained by the sale of ticke!s to go to the exposition and the railroad. The exposition officials last night offered to give the §75 and 8o did the railroad, but it was announced that if this was “ORVERSION” OF THE COUNCIL They All Backslid When the Crucial Point Arrived.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO Cu.n.} 908 Broad way, July 20. The Oakland Board of Health and the City Council have a large quarrel on hand, and the State Board of Health will prob- ably be called on to settle it.

This the commiitee promp'ly refused to accedo to, and so the matter stands. The exposition | officials will have to make some kind of a concession if the Alameda day project is carried out, bug it is not now expected here that anything further will come of the matter. City Trustees. ALAMEDA, Cawn, July 20.—At the meeting of the Board of Trustees last night the principal question was the grant- ing of a tiauor license to J. Bernard, it having been held over from the last meet- ing because of charges made that he was in the habit of allowing minors to visit his place. Last night Mr. Brick, chair- man of the License Committee, stated that he had baa the place watched since the charges were made and had found no proof of their truth. Hence he reported favorably on the npé.ucu(nn d it was granted, The Anti-Saloon League filed a protest againsy the Trustees granting licenses in those precincts which had voted against lignor at the last election. They called the attention of the Trustees to the fact that thev all stood solemnly pledged to grant no licenses in precincts that voted against saloons, and demanded that they givesome explanation of their refusal to abide by their pledges. The protest con- cluded with the charge that the Trustees were nlmfily mocking the people by their action. No explanation was offered by any of the T'ru , and the only one to vote against the Bernard application was the President of the board, Mr. Forderer, who has stood by his pledge through the whole proceeding. — e Schools Will Open. OAKLAND, Oar., July 20.—All of the public schoois will open on Monday., At 7:15 o'clock that evening the evening schools will open for those who work dur- ing the day. -Applicants should see the principals about 7 o’clock of any night during the week. No More Alimony. OAKLAND, Car, July 20.—Judge Ells- worth denied Mrs. M. C. Bacon’s applica- tion for an increase of alimony to-d She is getting $250 per month and for §550 more to meet her bills. T gudn said she should live within the could not say a word for several hours. The milk ordinance, which covers nearly a page of a newspaper printed in small type, was the result of months of work on the part of the Board of Health. It was worked up at great effort and was interd- ed to be the star performance of the pres- ent Board of Health. At intervals while preparing the ordinance there were slaughterings of cows that had given evi- dence of tuberculosis, and on each of these occasions one or two Councilmen would ba invited and the Board of Health would re- joice because the nauseons ht would “convert” the officials towards the ordi- nance. After several of these exhibitions the board felt sa‘e. Then it became necessary to insure pub- lic support for the measure and & public demonstration was decided upon. A sick cow was found and placed om a large wagon. A diagnosis of its case w; printed on a large placard and the animal was driven around town for a day. The next day it was slaughtered and exhibitea in a public store on Broadway. Then the Board of Health thought every- thing was in good shape, especially as the ordinance committee passed fuvorably on the matter and sent it to print. Then came the first knockdown. The Health Boara went before the Supervi- sors, but instead of getting an indorse- ment of its plan the Bupervisors stated that if there was no danger in driving a sick cowaround the city fora whole day there was certainly no need for additiona! legislation, and 8o they repealea the orui- nance they passed some months ago. This necessitated some changesin the measure before the Council ana they were atonce mace. The julilant Health Board announced that the measure would soon be a law,'and last night was the time set for 1ts final p: e, To the horror and surprise of the doc- tors everybody present voted to lay the mensure over sine die. To-day the doc- tors are at sea. They say the ‘Council is composed of ignoramuses, that the Board of Henlth had better disband and that their opinion of politicians is very m rially changed. The ‘‘conversion’’ of the Couneil only lasted till the mempers had an opportunity to backslide. — e Marshali-Jones Nuptials. BERKELEY, CArL., July 20.—The wed- ding of J. A. Marshall and Miss Emma Jones took place this evening at the resi- dence of the bride's parents, on Blake street, Rev. George B. Hatch performing | the ceremony.

CaAv., July 20.—The Ad- vocate, a paper of twenty-five years’ stand- ing in the university town, came cut edi- torially this evening in the advocacy of a resident regent to fill the unexpired term of and to succeed Colonel Charies F. Crocker, whose term would have expired next March. The ground is taken that the university will expend $100.000 upon buildings during the next year and vasily more later on, and that the presence of a resident regent will be of much service to the board. The publication states that the present committee on buildings and grounds is made up of men who have large business interests in Oakland or San Francisco, and who are of necessity not in touch with local sentiments. *“It may not be questioned that Governor Budd can readily find among the citizens of this city a man who will fill the position to which he may be appointed with credit to the State, benefi: to the university and the satisfaction of the people of Berkeley."” Citizens Invited BERKELEY, CAL., July 20—The Board of Education has extended an invitation to the citizens of Berkeley to be present at the opening of the new $20,000 Dwight-way schoolhouse, which wiil be ready for pub- lic inspection for the first time on July 31, THE TIDAL CANAL Statement of the Case ¥rom the Stand- point of the People of Alameda. ALAMEDA, CAv., July 19.—The Encinal publishes in fuil to-night the statement of the position of the people of Alameda on the tidal canal matter, as drawn up and forwarded to the authorities at Wash- ington. The document goes Into the details of the history of the harbor improvemen: of which this is a vital and necessary part, and shows how the work was leit partially finisbed and has so remained ever since. The reasons for completing the canal are given seriatim, and are sub- stantially as follows: First—Because It is part of the original plan to which Congress has expressly limited the expenditure of the money appropriated. Second—Because the Cost of the work, ac- cording to Colonel Suter’s own showing, Will te but $225.000, sand is largely within the amount availabie, Third—Lecause the work between Webster- street br.dge and the end of the tidal canal has already been completed sccording 10 the “existing proj ct.” us specified by Congress. Fourth—Because the tidal canal has never beon carried out and dredged according to the plan of the harbor as approved. Fifth—Because by the completion of the tidal canal & tidal prism would be made avail- able from San Leandro bay which would caus: the chaunel to scour out and sweep away naturally much of the deposit of soit mud which would otherwise have to be removed | artificially. This natural scouring was said by Colonel Mendell to be the key to the entire harbor improvement, and ne is confirmed in the opinion by Assistant Engineer Le Conte, who was for years employed on the work. Sixth—This is in many persons’ opinion the principal reason of all. It deals with the nce created by the partialiy completed which forms a cul de sac in which all manuer of impurity accumulates, decaying | and causing the death of the fi-h, which in | turn decay and pollute the air of the surround- | ing territory, thereby endangering ihe health of the poop.e and, greatly depreciating the value of property, The sewer systems of that part of Alameda and of Fruitvale sanitary aistricts ore and two have bean completed to 8 junction with this canal at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars, yet because of its present condition that canai does not conduct the sewage 10 the bay as contemplated in the original plan. The app2al enlarges upon these features of the situation and concludes as follows: Inconclusion and in view of the fact that the Prflsunl commercial demands of the city of Oakland wiil be met by the work we ask you to cause to be doneon the pari of our harbor west of the Webster-street bridge, and that the most urgent need ot the eity of Alameda is the completion of the tidal canal (other work intermediaie, between the Webster-street bridge and the tidal canal being postponed until these three pieces of work are completed) we respectiully but earaesty ask that the prayers of these petitions, which accompany this statement, may be granied, NEW TO-DAY.
