After the meeting of membership committees the William Rader discussed “Going to Church” in a man- ner that was admitted to be strong and well considered.

Realty Syndicate| Rabbits as Well as Fowl | il B g Berkeley After RAILROAD RUMORS FLYING | TRUSTEES GIVEN ADVICE This Place Was Once Famous 1118 Broadway, Dec. 10. The famous “Fish Ranch,” on the Contra Costa side of the hills back of Oakland, has passed into the hands of | the Realty Syndicate from the posses- |slon of Mrs. J. H. Olive, the widow | of the original owner of the place. The | property contains about 500 acres and | the sale price is said to have been $30,000. The “Fish Ranch” is a very famous | piece of property, and gives its name to the main road between Oakland, La- fayette and Walnut Creek, which road was at one time the stage road that Bay and the interior of Contra Costa County. The place was just exactly what its name Indicates, a “fish ranch.” There is a live stream on the property. It flows all the year round. This was | one of the best trout streams in the | Contra Costa hills, and was discovered by sportsmen who made their head- quarters at the ranchhouse on the banks of the creek and the road from | Oakland. When the trout were nearly | he could grow fish, ‘and this he did. The little stream was fitted with | ponds, fish ladders, hatcheries and all f the necessary appliances for raising | fish of all kinds, and from that day the property became the “Fish Ranch.” From that day the place also became a resort where the wealthy people of San Francisco drove for the purpose of enjoying fancy fish dinners, and the | proprietor of the place made no small amount of money by cultivating fine fish and selling. them to the wealthy persons who wanted to regale their friends with a fancy dinner and an outing for a day or two. In the lively da of San Francisco, when the Com- fortunes | as quickly, the “Fish Ranch” thrived | and made a fortune itself. But the glory of the place has long since departed. The ponds have been destroyed by the winter rains and have not been repaired. The fish ladders are broken -nd in disuse and all the fish that were not eaten have escaped down the creek only to end their lives on the hook of some angler. Even to this day there is occasionally caught in the waters of the little stream a descend- ant of s of the fish of high degree | that escaped during those wild and h Ranch” is now nothing but house where the thirsty s that haul hay and.grain and fruit through the new tunnel into Oak- land stop for a long glass of sharp “steam.” Occasicnally a party on its way to a “bulls head” at Walnut Creek id resort, but there will stop at the are no more fancy dinners, and where once flowed champagne the humble whisky of commerce is the best that finds its way down the throats of trav- elers The roadside saloon is now kept by | a man named Moraga, a son of the original Moraga who owned all of that country and after whom Moraga Valley was named. The plans of the Realty Syndicate in regard to this pfoperty are not stated. | It is sald that they want the water rights, which are valuable. But it is also intimated that the syndicate may have plang for securing a franchise for an electric road through .ie new tun- nel, which would then make the “Fish Ranch” a valuable plece of property. But whatever the plans, this purchase augurs well for the development of the Contra Costa side of the hills, which has s0 long been on a sidetrack. ————————— R ROWE'S WORK ATTRACTS EASTERN NOTICE Experiments With Oil Upo~ Hill Roads Given Praise by an En- gineering Journal. OAKLAND, Dec. 10.—The experi- ments made by Supervisor Rowe of this | county with oil upon hill roads have at- tracted the attention of so important an engineering jourpal as.the Munici- pal Journal and Engineer of New York, and it makes this commen: upon his work: The first attempt to use oil on county roads in the vicinity of Oakland, Cal., was made by Supervisor Rowe of * Alameda County. -The road in question was very steep and could not | be watered readily without carrying the water from the bottom to the top of the hill The road was very dusty and much complaint had been heard from the farmers that used it. A contract was made with a firm to ofl the road, but. as the firm did not live up to its con’ tract, the Supervisor decided to do the work himself. He secured a special sprinkler, which was atiached to an ordinary water cart. The road is to be sufficiently drained and ofled again before the winter gets in. The oll was applied cold and has entirely laid the dust, but to secure a semi-bituminous roadway. as in Golden Gate Park, it is necessary to put the oil on hot. The farmers are satisfied with the result because they can draw their hay into town without having it covered with dust and thus get more for their product. —_—d—————— WOODCRAFT WOMEN ARE TO GIVE A TOURNAMENT Members of Oakland Circle Arrange a Whist Entertainment for Next Saturday Evening.

OPEN DOORS FOR COOPS. One correspondent, whose letter will | be read at the next meeting of the mu- nicipal legislators, favors the running of hen coops with wide open doors, and asserts that if anything is to be closed by ordinance it should be thé saloons and not the chicken-houses. The writer holds that any one whose conscience is at ease can sleep soundly with a rooster chorus all around the neighbor- hood. Another petitioner requests that the ordinance be so amended that it will prohibit the maintenance of rabbits and pigs within the city limits. Still another wants the restrictive law to apply to Thomas cats. This citizen, who signs himself “Charles A. Towles,” asks that steps be taken by the City Trustees to exlle from the island forever all meowing felines of the male per- suasion. A. H. Ward, capitalist, residing at 723 Paru street, is leading the fight for the banishing of fowls from Alameda. In explaining the reason for his op- position to chickens he informed the City Trustees that the aroma arising from a poultry yard near his home soured the milk in his pantry, and also the tempers of the members of his household. Ward would have the keep- ing of poultry in the municipality made a misdemeanor. BATTLE IS LOOKED FOR. Although the proposed fowl ordinance { was sent from the Board of Health to | the City Trustees, Dr. Kate P. Van Orden of the sanitary body, who has | | i | been credited with promoting the meas-. ure, denied to-day that the idea of such an enactment was original, with her. She says that it was. first suggested by a City Trustee, who, for reasons best known to himself, did not desire to lead the crusade against the chickens. When the proposed ordinance comes up for action at the next session of | the City Trustees it is expected that | there will be present a large number | of champions and oppcnents. ———e—— !LO(‘A\L LABOR UNIONS i ELECT THEIR OFFICERS Executive Committee of State Feder- ation of Labor Will Soon Meet in Oakland. i OAKLAND, Dec. 10.—Carpenters’ Lo- cal Union No. 36 has elected the follow- | ing office: R.

That sentence tells the whole of a romantic story that the mantle of four fateful days could cover, and involves the love affair of two young people now bound tightly together by matri- monial bonds. One of the happy pair is Dr. Gardner Howell of New York city, successful in the practice of his profession. The lady was Miss Bessie Bash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bash of 2206 Woolsey street, South Berkeley. Until last Thursday neither had any thought of immediate marriage. The story really begins with the boarding of a westbound train in Kansas City by Mrs. Jacob Bash, the bride’s mother. It happened that Dr. Howell occupied the same Pullman and, as is usually the case, the pas- sengers became friends before the train got half way across the continent. GOES TO MEET MOTHER. ‘When the train arrived at Point Richmond last Thursday, Miss Bash and her father were there to greet Mrs. Bash, and naturally Dr. Howell, acting the gallant with the lady's baggage, was introduced to the relatives. So they all crossed the bay together, and just about the time the whistle blew for the landing in San Francisco the love microbe began tapping at the hearts of the hero and the heroine of this story, who had at once become friendly. Now Dr. Howell had only just begun @ iiirsiesienle BUNKO MEN FORCE VICTIM TO YIELD Rob Man They Had Enticed to Ala- meda Marsh to Witness Imagin- ary Explosion of Gunboat. OAKLAND, Dec. 10.—After inveig- ling Frank Wilson of Coldwater, | Mich., to a lonesome spot on the Ala- meda marsh, two confidence men held up the stranger with pistols vesterday afternoon and forced him to yield $100 and a watch. Wilson did not get around to the police until this afternoon. He told his story and gave a description of the thieves. The victim arrived in San Fran- cisco from Stockton yesterday and was taken in hand by a bunko man, who invited Wilson to visit the Mint. En route the glib-tongued operator suggested that there was to be a gun- {poat blown up on the Alameda marsh and that the sight would be worth " seeing. Wilson was of the same mind. "Over to Alameda the pair traveled. | Strange to say, they bumped .into a third man who was also going to the destruction of the gunboat. The trio arrived on the marsh and there the two strangers suddenly pointed pis- tols at Wilson and commanded him to surrender his valuables. ‘ After they had taken money and ‘watch the strangers disappeared, leav- ing their victim to get out of his pre- dicament as best he could. e Late Shipping Intelligence.

The third visit was on Sunday, by which time the love microbe had en- ! larged into a chrysalis, sprouting cupid-like wings.

Through themedium of a printed card the’sad news was conveyed to the fac- ulty members of the University of Cal- ifornia to-day that there is not enough money to cash the salary warrants for the month of December. As this is the first time in fifteen years that the university's treasury has been empty, | the information came as a shock, car- rying with it that aggravated feeling that often goes with poverty. Unless some arrangement can be made with | some financial interest there will be a total lack of Christmas presents in Berkeley, and the glad cheer that usu- ally goes with the holidays will be en= tirely wanting. The dearth in the treasury was caus- ed by the failure of the State officials |at Sacramento to send any money, which means that at this late day | there will be none at all.
