While no limit was placed | upon | tague t Cooper's original agreement Mon- says that this was understood and him in no respect re- ponsible for the recent attachment | placed upon him. “The Sunset people,” | savs Mr. Montague, “filed this attach- | ment simply because of a littie grievance they had with Cooper. They know that | they will get their money from Bloom and mygelf as soon as the books which they finished for us are placed on the market; but they are taking advantage of Cooper’s kindness to us to give vent to their own personal spite against him.

A year or two ago the Secretary appointed Stanley Jackson, one'of the Collector’s sons, to the im- portant position of Deputy Collector, ry of $600 per annum, and only a a sala month ago the Secretary appointed an- other son, John P.

Collector Jackson modestly refrained from informing the reporters on the Fed- eral detail of the good fortune which had befallen him. The news leaked out um- officially in the usual Custom-house Way. )" said the Collector yesterday when asked about the matter. *I did not make the appointment.

Wendell Easton Is Elected President and He Appoints a Governing Board to Engineer the Project. A meeting of representative men in- terested in the fuel oil industry was held vesterday afternoon in the Merchants’ xchange for the purpose of establishing | an oil exchange for the handling of the State product, which is assuming large proportions owing to the many discoveries of oil wells throughout the State. Thirty charter members were present and the meeting was called to order by Wendell Easton. In outlining the plan of the organization ton stated that the fueloil industry n thi ate was in its infancy and that the supply was now being met by the de- mand. As new properties were discovered, however, competition would become keen and prices would go down. It was the in- tention of the promoters to establish an oil exchange similar to those now in op- eration in Pittsburg and London. The ange contemplated the selling of ol now used in other exchanges, which will assure fair prices for the article. The meeting then €lected the following officers: President, Wendell Easton; treasurer, Henry J. “rocker; secretary, Emile Kahn. Cr The following committees were also elected and will act as the governing board of the exchange: Committee on | administration—Joseph _ Kahn, T. L. committee on Leon Phipps, ittee on finances | Wooster, E. Gauthier Jr.; securities—Werner Stauf. Marion Leventritt; comm —George F. Beveridge, Louis F. Mont- | eagle, C. S. Benedict; committee on arbi-‘ tration—Jesse W. Lilienthal, Fred W. Mc- Near, Ge e A. Moore. The meeting adjourned to meet next Tuesday afternoon at the Merchants’ Ex- change, when further plans for the or- ganization will be outlined. —e————— Municipal Gas Plant. SAN JOSE, Aug.

SPEEDING PARTING GUESTS e KISSES FOR THE COMMANDER, CHEERS FOR THE MEN. | —— Payday at the Presidio—A Month's Money Is Distributed to Every War-Worn Veteran. A The Oregon Regiment has gon: homa the cheers of the city's farewell still ringing in the ears of its men and the soldiers’ throats still dry from the lusti- ness of their good-by They weni in a bod not all from the Presidio as had been the intention, but they were &all at the ferry depot, and there the regiment trooped on board the 3 o'clock boat, men, women and children following after and all loth to leave or be left behind. It had been announced to the men of the regiment before they left camp on Mon- day that they should all march away from the Presidio vesterd at 1 o'cloc It was not an order, for by 1 o'clock yester- but it day the regiment was no_mor was an appeal to the men. Human naturs could not stand the strain, however, and when 1 o’clock came there were not over 100 men at the camp, and a good propor- tion of these were officers. They wera formed in line by General Summers, how- ever, and with the parting admonition, “take plenty of intervals,” the men moved out of the post after the Utah men and the Nebraska band, who had volunteered to escort them as far as the ferry. The officers marched together, four abreast, and after them came the men. There was the involuntary step of the trained soldier and the even pace and straight lines and the uniforms, but there the military element stopped. The men were too happy to keep silence in the ranks and they did not have to, anyway, so they laughed and chatted to them- selves and to the crowds which gathered and they spoke to friends and called to strangers and had a glorious time gen- erally all the way to the water front. The band played its prettiest ana the artillerymen marched their best, but then they were still_soldiers, not citizens, as were the men they led.” And it was b ter that way perhaps. One was the vol- unteer in service; the other the volunteer mustered out, and the difference between | them told the story of the war and why there need never be a standing army. The Utah men will soon march down the street as gay and happy and light-hearted as the Oregon men, and some other waiting regi ment will walk as sedately and as s dlerly before the On the w down the line of Oregon men grew larger, for some were walting for it at every crner.
