THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1897. STATE EQUALZ:RS I} BUSY SESSION Railroad Men Ask That Their Assessments Be Reduced. [ Only On= Little Line in the State That Seems to Be Prosperous. The San Francisco and San Mateo Company Wants a Show With Its Competitors. SACRAMENTO, CavL, July State Board of Equalization had a busy session to-day and listened to the tales of woe as related by several railroad repre- es of decreased valuatious, loss of wear and tear of track and rolling stock, al which they contended went to prove that their assessments should be 1ily reduced. There was one ex- 1, however, and that one nearly alyzed the members of the board, who ncounter such an event, and even Beamer’s gray locks io assume an nal tinge of whiteness, while Presi- Morehouse’s face became y gra; rarely e caus v of the Nevada County Narrow-gauge Railroad, and all he asked was to be let alone. The road, which is twenty-two and & half miles long, is assessed at $4444 44 per miie, or $100,000 for the road. its business was increasing it had suffered a loss of $10,000 through tne burning of a bridge last year and desired to even up by not having any additional assessment tacked on. W. Clayton, secretary of the San Fran- cisco San Mateo Electric Railroad, made an able argument in favor of reduc- ing the assessment on that property, in the course of whic | property was worth $40,31186. This esti- ‘ mate, he said, was based upon an original ation sworn to on July 25, 1895, by d Bennett, the receiver of the road, certain litigation then pending. e valuation then made, Mr. Ciayton was in his opinion carerully made | d based upon solid facts, and the | figures submitted this year are practically the same, after allowing a reasonable sum depreciation, wear and tear, except the valuation on the track. Last year the track was valued at $22,729, believing that its efficiency would be exhausted by the t Monday in March of 1897. on a ba when it was new,and taking the life of | at five years.

ARY sS4 Commotion Among th= County Officials Caused by Judge Gray. VISALIA, Cat, July 22.—Much uneasi- ness is felt here by some of the officials of this county because of a decision just ren- dered in the Superior Court by Judee | Gray, in which the Auditor is commanded | to issue a warrant to J. C. McCabe, the Public Administrator, for his salary for June. The court holds that the part of | the county government law passed by tne | Legislature oi 1897, relating to the salary | of the Public Administrator, is unconsti- | tutional, being class legislation, because the proposed change in salary took eifect in June only in three counties of the State, Tulare being one of the three. Judge Gray therefore holds that the Pub- c Administrator shou!d receive the sal- ary of such officer as specified in the county in the thirteenth class, under the law of 1893, which was Solano County. Tulare is now in the thirteenth class, |and Judge Gray holds that the present | classification is constitutional. Accord- ing to his decision the salaries of several | of the most important officials will be | materially decreased, while some of the | Justices and Constables wiil change from light fees 1o fat salaries. | “Special counsel has been voted by the J isors to assist the District Attorney fighting the decision in the higher courts, - SALMON FISHING AT MONTEREY, Phenomenal Ca'ches Made Daily by Pro- fessionals and Noviers.

Lawson and C. E. Morden, now staying at Hotel del Monte. Sils ogbv b | 1ELEPHONE EXTENSION. San Francisco Will Soon Fe Able to Talk to San Diego.

Banquet Served at the Tavern on the Summit ard Happy Spesches Made. MOUNT TAMALPAIS, CAL., July 22 It may have been a coincidence, but it is nevertheless a fact, that during the morn- ing the entire mountain was hidden behind a thick fog, but the 200 delegates of the Pacific Coast Gas Association had not been on the mountain half an hour before the mist commenced to dissolve, and 1n & short time entirely disappeared, and the rich country with its numerous hamlets and villages stretching northward and southward lay like a panorama before the sight-seeing delegates. The aisappearance of the fog on the ap- proach of the gas delegates may nave been but a natural atmospheric condition, but it woula be difficult to make the belief general. The jovial crowd of gas men completely captured the mountain to-day and a banquet was serwved at the hotel on the summit. About 200 took the trip, leaving San Francisco on the 9:45 A. M. boat. At Sausalito the party was rushed through to Mill Valley on the local train, where the scenic road’s train was await- ing its arrival, and the trip was begun. Througu Corte Madera Canyon the train, with its jolly crowa, wended its way into tne thick fog on the mountain, Then the phenom- enon describe ! above was noticed. The effect on the fog was almost instantane- ousiy noticed, and when the air cleared the gorzeous scenery was a subject of mnch comment. When the train arrived at the tavern near the summit the gasmen alighted and climbed to the topmost point, where they drank in the scenery and the pure air. About noon they satdown to & ban- quet as the guests of Thomas Day & Co., who represent the American Meter Com- pany. Speeches followed, and the party leit lor the City on aiternoon trains. The officers of the association are: F. H. Eichbaum, president; Charles F. Adams, dent; John A. Britton, secre- tary and treusurer; John L. Howard, Thomas D. Petch, Frank A. Cressey and M. C. Osborne, directors. This evening the mountain is again covered with fog. SRR Mill Falley’s School Case. MILL VALLEY, Carn., July 22.—The contested School Trustee election case brought against J. H.

At tue in- stance of the father of one of the whipped boys, Captain Treat was arrested for bat- tery and his trialendaed in Justice Young’s court this afternoon with a verdict of acquittal.

CHAUTAUQUAN EXcRCISES. | ) § | Yesterday’s Programme at Pac fic Grove Eniwvened by Two Notabie Plat- form Aduresses. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., July 22.—To- day’s Chautaugua programme contained two notable platform addresses and large audiences greeted each of the speakers. Dr. A. W. Lemar conciuded his series of Southern lectures with this morning’s topic, *Dixie Land After the War,” in which he demonstrated the terrible con- dition in which the South found herself at the close of the war. Her industries shattered, her finances bankrupt, her whole social system overturned and with four million negroes suddenly freed and thrown all unprepared upon their own responsibilities. She had to face the prob- lem of building up a new civilization. Dr. Lamar showed by reference to histori- cal facts how, notwithstanding the dgifficulty and disturbance from without, she accomplished the re-establishmeny of herself by a revival greater than any the world has ever seen. The secoua address of the day was that by Rev. Dr. Mott L. Hughes of Minneap- olis on ‘“‘American Pessimism,”” Dr. Hrughes defined pessimism in its philo- sophical sense, and then applied it in its colloquial American acceptation in this conneciion, showing many of the causes fostering political and social pessimism, such as the national tendency to besmirch public men, and to notice in daily press news the abnormal eventsof the social order rather than those natural unevent- ful things which by their continuance strengthen and make permanent our own great commonwealth. In addition to the other regular daily events was the recital given by Miss Ida Beney of New York, the celebrated American reader. To-night Miss Beney read in an abridged form “Les Misera- bles,”” and aiterward devoted a half hour to stories by comic writers, Her com- mand of voice in expressing all shades of an author’s ideas is litue short of won- | derful. —_—— ARIZO>A MI.ING DEAL.
