To-day Supervisor J. R. Talcott had a large force of men and teams at work ploughing up and smoothing over the strip of land between Harrison avenue and the south bank of the canal. On this space the Carnival Committee will lay out | a promenade and erect grand stands for the accommodations of those who desire to obtain a close view of the naval maneuvers of the illuminated mosquito fleet that will be allowed in the display basin. The concessions will occupy ground south of Harrison avenue, so that the booths and tents will not obstruct the view of spectators driving about the car- {mval_basin in vehicles. Chairman_Frank N. Dodd of the Com- mittee on Decorations requests all resi- dents who can to make donations of palm branches and evergreens, to be utilized in ornamenting the big _steel drawbridge across the canal at Park street. This structure is one of the largest of its kind in the world, the aggregate width of its two draws being 320 feet. Both the Park- street and the Fruitvale-avenue bridges afford splendid frameworks for decorat- ing and lighting, and this fact will not be overlooked by the committee.

Herrold, Miss Ed- wards is the daughter of H. J. Edwards, formerly president of the Electric Im- | provement Company and a prominent pol- itician, who opposed ex-Mayor Martin of San Jose two years ago. The marriage was against the wishes of Miss Edwards’ parents. The charming young lady had been admonished to have nothing to do with McQuoid, and he had been refused permission to call at the Edwards home on North Fifth street. Edwards promised to abide by their instructions if voung McQuoid were allowed to.visit the house once a month, and also promised to pestpone their marriage three. years if such consent were given. The parents were obdurate, however, and kept what they believed was a close watch on the young couple.

Last evening the last of her ward- robe was transferred, and she announced her determination to-disregard her fath- er's command. The result was to-day’'s wedding.

ASTORIA, Sept. —Within a short time suit will be commenced in the United States Court in San Francisco by the 750 fishermen who worked at the Bristol Bay (Alaska) canneries during the fishing season just closed there. The fishermen seek to compel the employers to pay them at the rate of 3 cents for every fish taken, whereas the canners will attempt to hold the men to taeir original contract, which called for a pay- ment of 2 cents. ‘According to the statement of men ‘who have arrived here from the north within the past few days the fishermen who went to Nushagak this year contracted with the packers to fish for 2 cents, it being agreed that the conditions would be tge same as during the previous year. When the men reached (hgflscene of opery ations they found that fish traps had been installed, encroaching on their fish- ing grounds and that they would be un- able to make a living. They met and decided to return home, but the cannery superintendent agreed to give them 3 cents a fish, and the men went to work. Now the packers have declined to llve up to the agreement made by their rep- resentatives. They have tendered the fishermen payment at the rate of 2 cents a fish, but the men have refused to ac- cept, 'The amount actually in dispute is $35,000, while the total amount claimed by the men is $150,000.
