Ever since | the inception and incorporation of the board its efforts have been devoted to the development of Oakland harbor.

Taylor, Ed- A']Bm\ M. J. Keller, E. C. 8 and Hugh Hogan, has been in- defatigable in its efforts to secure the deepening of the channel. The mem- bers have had the hearty co-operation of Senator Perkins and Congressman Metcalf, with the result that a year ago Congress made an appropriation of $250,000 for the deepening of the har- aon ¥ sions bor. This amount, however, is wholly inadequate for the purpose apd not mensurate with the commerce of Oakland To attain even this smali appropria- tion the harbor and wate: front com- mittee has worked hard and devoted many hours to the citizens of Oak- 4. PROVIDES EXCURSIONS. Some two years ago the “All' Day for.a Dollar” excursions eavn Monday and Friday from San Francisco were inaugurated, and upward of 5000 peo- ple have by means of these excursions been induced to visit Oakland. Berke- ley, Piedmont, Haywards and inter- vening cities and towns. Scores of per- ons who first visited the east side of \he bay as excursionists have located there In business or as residents. The committee on railroads has | worked assiduously to secure the entry into Oakland of competing lines of railroad. Some five years ago the di- rectors of the Board of Trade ap- pointed the committee on railroads as a committee to confer with similar committees to be appointed by the City Council, improvement clubs and among | tions of the | sheltered ha. | mittee of lht Oakland M.

GOOD PRESENT PROGRAMME, At the present time a committee of the junction with a commit from Ala- meda with a view to the improvement of Webster street, in Alameda. and with every prospect of a successful cul- mination. It is hoped to make of th great thoroughfare a boulevard sixt fee Samples of a rush grown in marsh lands were taken months ago by a large manufacturer of matting. These samples were made up into matting, apparently of excel- lent quality, and the Board of Trade is to-day, avith the assistance of University of California, experiment- ing in raising this rush or tule. Expveri- the ment stations have been started at Pleasanton and Elmhurst. If the ex-| periment proves successful thousands of acres of marshy land in California, now practically useless, will become ve valuable. The manufacturers of matting agree to tak&\all the rush or tule that can be raised upon 10,000 acres if it is proved by the experiments now being conducted by the Board of | Trade that the tule can be grown suc- | cessfully, or in other words that it can | be grown to the desired length. | The board is now in correspondence with several Eastern manufacturers, | with a view to inducing them to lo- | cate plants on the eastern side of the {Bay of San Francisco, where trans- pcrtation by rail and water meet. The - Western Pacific Railroad was materially assisted by the Board of Trade in securing rights of way ani terminals In Oakland and ere another two years have elapsed it is hoped that the entry into Oakland on the first Western Pacific train will be duly cele- brated. Many of the principal improvements in Alameda County can be traced to the efforts of the Oakland Board of Trade. FFICERS AND MEMBERS. The present officers and directors of the Board of Trade are: R.

The canal bill will be among ! the few measuress other than appro-, priation bills that will receive attention | before final adjournment. The amend- | ments will probably be debated at some ! length. It is expected that by the time the canal bill shall be disposed of the sundry civil bill will have been re- | ported from the committee, whereupon | it will be considered. i During the week there will be (hscus- sions of various other bills, including | the bill for the protection of the Presi- | dent, on which Hoar will speak Mon- | day; the pure food bill, o which Hey- burn will speak on Tuesday, and the Chinese exclusion bill, which will be discussed on Wednesday by Patterson. Thursday will be devoted to eulogies on the late Senator Hanna. The Swayne impeachment resolution will be the feature of the proceedings in the House this week. Legislation for the District of Columbia will have the right of way part of Monday, and the remainder of the day will be utilized for the passage of bills under suspension of the rules. On Tuesday ' jand Wednesday the conference report on the District of Columbia appropria- tion bill, to which the Senate has made amendments, will take precedence and | the military academy bill will be dls-‘ | posed of during this time, as will con- | ference reports on several minor House | bills. On Thursday the Swayne im- | peachment case will be called up, and present indications are that debate on | this subject will consume the balance of the week. { The report of the MecCall investiga- | tion committee is looked for the latter | part of the week, | g & Raspiller Brewing Company, | Remflifard Brick_Company, Dr. € .‘nmmn,., G.
