Why Taleott Is Popular With Wheelmen From San Francisco. Much Permanent Work Has Been Done and Many Bridges Have Been Built. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 908 Broadway, March 5. | The annual report of Alameda Coun- | ty compiled by County Clerk Jordan is just about completed, and it shows how much work has been done in the vari- | b, ous road districts and where the money | has been expended. | The largest district is naturally that of Supervisor Wells, which includes | sceveral road districts, and much bridge | building and permanent road beds have | been carried out. Altogether Mr. Wells | has spent In Murray and Washington | townships duringtheyear 1597 $66,915 40, | which is $10,593 82 less than the amount expended the previous year by Super- visor Bailey. Mr. Wells has assisted indigents during the year to the extent | $5999 40 given away by Mr. Bailey the previous year. Murray Township has had $28,621 36 ex- ended on its five road districts, while Washington Township roads have == the county $38,294 04 for its seven tricts. Supervisor Talcott, from the Second | District, has spent in Fruitvale $21,310; ‘ in Brooklyn, $5864; in San Lorenzo, in Castro Valley, $4013; in Palo- mares. $417 Mt. Eden, $8395. During of office, which ended . Talcott. has expended $186.093 on his road districts. At the present time the roads in the Second District. and especially the county road between_Oakland and Haywards, as well as the section of roads known as the triangle, on which the popular wheel road races are held, are in bet- [ ter condition than in any past year.

As chairman of the build- ing and-finance committees of thebeard, Mr. Mitchell has had the expenditure of much money for refurnishing and re- decorating the county buildings. The system upon which this work is being done was commended by the last Grand | Jury, and several thousand dollars | have been saved owing to the daily per- | sonal attention given by Mr. Mitchell to this work. In a few days the illustrated annual report will be published, and the vari- ous statements and expenditures of the different county officials will be set | forth in full. | —————————— TIMMS TRACT LITIGATION. i The Sixth Suit Over the Property in Ten Years Filed in Ala- meda County. OAKLAND, March 5—A sult was filed in the Superior Court this afternoon that evives the celebrated Timms Point Tract suit, which was fought in Los Angeles County so bitterly from 1887 to 1864. H. O. Mellen charges E. T. and Matilda Lunt Barber with holding certain portions of that property which were deeded them in trust for the plaintiff, and he now seeks to recover the two-thirds due him. This is the sixth suit that has involved this property. It is known as lot Q of the Rancho Palos Verdes. The plaintiff asks that a receiver be ap- | pointed to hold the land in question and care for all of the interests pending a set- | tlement and an accounting of all funds | arising from the property-in question and the trust declared valid and Barber be | compelled to return’the trust to its owner. ooyl oo KLONDIKE M,ISSIONARY‘.

BERKELEY, March 5.—Almond Bige- low Dixon, who has lived for the last thirty vears at Lorin, died this evening at his residénce, 1816 Harmon street, of heart fallure.

Thomas and Council- man B. W. Woodward were expelled from the Army and Navy Republican League to-night. Woodward’'s expul- sion was a dishonorable one on a unan- imous vote, but Thomas was sustained ¥ nineteen votes out of seventy-two. This was from the fact that some | wanted a secret ballot upon the latter | vote. J. W. Osborn moved the expul- sion of Woodward when his resignation was read. L. D. Hyde opposed it at| this time on the ground that the Grand | Jury was acting, and he thought the league should wait until they were through. He wanted it distinctly un- derstood that they met as a Republi- | Army of the Republic. Judge Adams reviewed the water rate investigation by the Council commit tee, and, referring to the company’s admission that the stock was watered, | wanted. to know what assurance the community had that it was not all wa- ter. “Why did the stock of one com- pany raise $350,000 after the vote of the City Council on that resolution?” he ! asked. “1f it was a mistake, why did | not the man come out and say so?”| That was the way to do. If this league | stands by that vote it were equally | guilty of robbing the poor laborer to benefit the corporatdon. This league has a falrer name than any other po- | litical organization i the State. Do | you desire to keep it? 1 believe this is | ur duty. God placed man here to face | duty, not to shirk it.

On the third- day after his election Thomas went into the enemies’ camp and has been with the water companies ever since.”; A standing vote showed 53 votes for expulsion and 19 against. The chair declared the Mayor out of the league and the meeting adjourned. —_— ee————— Sophomores Win the Cup.

But the Vessels Never Stop in the Sound, So the Miners Will Hunt Whales. *The rush to the Klondike has left the beach without a sailor,” said a well known shipping master vestarday. “Zverybody is on the rush for the gold fleids, and if the sailors do not stop heading that way soon thers will be no men left to man tae coasters.” Whether the shipping master's state- nmient s correct or not'remains to be seen, but one thing is certein, and that i3 that the whalers now fitunz out fer the Aretic find it almost impessible: to secure crews. The steam whaler Wil- liam Raylies has been in the strean several days and outside of her oificers not a man has been secured; in fact the runners and boarding house mas- ters have asserted on several occasions that if the vessels are to be manned there will have to be some shanghaiing done. At the present time the boarding masters have cards, with their address only on them, distributed all over the | country. They read about as follows: “For information concerning vessels leaving for Kotzebue Sound, St. Mi- chael and Dawson City, or for infor- mation concerning the gold fields, ap- ply to —."" The applicant seeking in- formation is generally a “green hand.” He is shown the circulars of the va- rious companies that are carrying pas- sengers to Kotzebue Sound, in which it is stated that the whalers stop there | both going to and coming from the | the Arctic. He is then told that cheapest and easiest way in the world to get-to the Kotzebue Sound gold flelds is to ship on a whaler and then desert as soon as the anchor is dropped at the mouth of the Kowak River. One thing is certain, and that is that any man who ships in this way will not see | the gold fields this season, as the whal- | | ers never stop at Kotzebue Sound, but} go straight through to Point Barrow, occasionally stopping at Point Hope. There have been several changes among the officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Chief Officer C. J. Bruguire of the Acapulco went out as chief officer of the City of Peking, vice G. G. Trask, who has remained ashore on waiting orders. Second Of- ficer Charles Newman uas been pro- moted to the vacancy on the Acapulco, and Third Officer W. Jones has been promoted to second officer, also on the Acapulco. A derelict fishing boat was picked up | by the gunboat Pinta yesterday. The sall was set and it came up the bay with the tide. There was no fisherman in it, however, but everything was in | its place and the boat looked as if it | had lately been used. At Fishermen’'s wharf they said none of the fishermen none of the men would take the trouble to go to Fish- | ermen’s wharf to identify the boat. They said that the craft had probably broken adrift and gone up the bay with the tide, and the owner would turn up to claim it in due time. The Old Dominion line steamer Ro- anoke sailed from Philadelphia for San Francisco yesterday with a cargo of coal, consigned to John Rosenfeld's Sons. She has been purchased by the North American Trading and Trans- portation Company for $210,000, and on her arrival here will be fitted out for the Klondike trade. The Roanoke is a first-class vessel and was built by the TRoaches in 1882. She is 265 feet long, 10 feet broad. 26 feet 9 inches deep and will accommodate about 1000 first and second class passengers. Four' guineas per cent reinsurance has been paid on the British shin Red Rock, which left here September 13 for Cork, and the the same place from Astoria thirteen days later. On the Ravenscrag, which left. Puget Sound for Callao on Octo- ber 9 30 guineas per cent reinsurance has been paid. The schooner Louis, which left here on the same date for Callao via Albion arrived at her desti- nation December 20. The schooner Charles Hanson has been purchased by the Kotzebue Com- mercial.and Mining Company, and. is being fitted out for a trip to the Kotze- bue Sound gold fields. The men at the head of the affair are Dr. Gleaves, Otto Shackel!ford and Touls Johnson of San Francisco, L. C. Frisbie of Anderson, Dr. A. N. Gardner of Napa, L. A, Spit- zer of San Jose and E. J. Andrews of Redding. The company has also pur- chased the river steamer Agnes I. Boyd, and will send up provisions for a two years' stay on the Kowak River. The schooner will be anchored in a safe place in the sound, and the men will make their home on the river boat dur- ing the winter. The ship Sintram, with the river steamers and barges for the Alaska Ex- ploration Company aboard, will not get away until next Wednesday, if then. She may pot be able to take away ev- erything €onnected with the steamers and barges, and another vessel will probably have to be chartered. The unfortunate part of it is that the Sin- tram has parts of all the boats and | barges on board. while other parts of them are still on the wharf waiting to 1f another vessel can be chartered it will have to be a steamer, as it will be almost impossible to get a tug to tow a sailing vessel to Dutch Harbor. One hundred and thirty-five engineers, machinists, carpenters and painters have all signed to go up on the ship, and are ready to leave at a mo- ment’'s notlce, but it will be several days yet before their pay begins. The cannery owners have come to the conclusion that it will be next to im- possible to charter vessels this season, so they are-purchasing all the suitable craft they can get hold of. The Alaska Packers’ Association has secured an op- tion on the ships Indiana, Two Broth- ers, Orlental and Tacoma and the bark Hector. Captain Davis of the Sterling has gone to the sound to look the Ta- coma over, and if she is all she is de- scribed to be, the purchase money for her will be paid at once. The Oriental will lay up in Oakland Creek for a month, and the Indiana, as soon as her New York ‘eargo is discharged, will | 1568 probably fly the country’s flag. George W.

Buckley, 81 Myrtle street, Oakland, was the scene Friday night of one of the most daring burglaries that has ever occurred in that city. Mr. Buckley is the assistant super- intendent of the Mining Fair, and his du- ties compel him and his wife and son to be present at the fair during the day. Friday night when they returned home at midnight Mr. Buckley . tried to open the front door as . but was unable to ‘do. so. His wife then endeavored to open the door, but.could not, and upon an examination they found that it had been locked from the inside. Mr. Buckley then went to the rear of the house and found the kitchen door open. The noise that he had madé in his endeavors to open the front door had given the burglars a timely warning, and they had made good their escape. ‘An examination of the house showed that all the rooms had been rifled of their effects and much damage done. Mrs. Buckley's -clothes were piled up in the front hall. and there was a rope lying near them. The thieves had been in the act of making off with them when the family returned. Mrs. Buckley lost some valuable jewelry, but fortunately a very handsomeé pair of diamond earrings that were upon her bureau were overlooked by the thieves. They, however, got awal with a valuable diamond sunburst an many other articles. Tne men had first endeavored te effect an entrance by tying a rope to the porch and climbing up to the second story, but failing in this they | had smashed the bathroom window and into the house. Mr. Buckley lost handsome medals that had been presented to him. All of Mrs. Buck- ley’s trunks had been opened and thelr contents scattered about. There is no clew to who are the thieves, but they were evidently acquainted with the famil; movements, and from this it is thought that they live in Oakland.

With Krug and a few other seasoned players the alumni played a game that, with but one excep- tion, was free from errors. In two in- nings they found -Kaarsbers and battted out seven runs.. The college men, on the other_hand, were unable to locate Krug. Four hits were made off him, but no runs decorated the " California Score board. The game was the best plaved this season by the league of college ciubs. The base running was good, the fielding sharp and the errors comparatively few. For four_ innings neither side scored. Then, with Sheehan on third and Lewis on segond, old warhorse and rock-drilling Héller, fresh from the mines, batted out a single. Shechan scored, followed soon after by Lewis on a wild ?]l(ch by Mien to Baer. In the seventh Sheehan scored again.
