Division No. 53 of the Order of Rail- road Telegraphers, which is the division of that order covering the lines' of the Southern Pacific Company, has followed the recent moves of President Harri- man in consolidating his railroad in teres and hereafter Division No. will n lins west of Green River, leans, La., and south of Portland, Or. n order has just been issued by Grand President H. B. Perham of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers from his juarters at St. Louis notifying W. E. Davidson of this city that from Aug- u: 1 his jurisdiction as chairman of Division No. 53 would include not only the old Southern and Central Pacific lines, but also the Oregon Short Line, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company and that portion of the Union include all of the Harri: | Pacific between Ogden, Salt Lake and | sreen Riv: This makes Division No. the largest in the United States, both in point of mileage and membership. This change in the jurisdiction was made in order to facilitate Davidson's handling of the work of the order. When Harriman divided his railroads into a num of sections under gen- eral managers he changed the old jun: tion points that kad existed for so many years. At Salt Lake City W. H. 3ancroft was given charge of the old entral Pacific Railroad from Sparks, Nev., to Ogden, and of the Union Pz Railroad from Ogden to Green and also of the Oregon Short Line, while to E. E. Calvin at Portland was given the Oregon Railroad ar Navigation Company in addition to h lines of the Southern Pacific Company in Oregon. Perham decided that the work of Davidson upon this coast was so satisfactory and his relations with the officials of the company were so dial that he would add this new ter- ry to his jurisdiction, which may in time extend over the entire Union Pa- cific system. The headquarters of Division No. 53 is in this city, with Mr. Davidson as the head and D. W. Koppikus as the secretary. The divisions of the order t formerly existed upon the Oregon ilroad and Navigation Company’s ines and upon the Oregon Short Line have been discontinued. The new divi- sion has over 2000 members.

OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—The citizens of the thriving suburban town of Elm- hurst have taken the matter of street lighting into their own hands and the beginning of an electric system was put into operation to-night. Elmhurst has arrived at the dignity of a town, though it is not incorporated, and for cason there is no system of mun- 1 lighting. The population war- rants an electric system, but there is no way that this could be acquired ex- cept by the work of individual eiti- zen Ww. D. Sanborn, general agent of the Burlington Railroad system in San Francisco, took the matter in hand and interested a number of public spirited residents. They made an agreement with the Suburban Electric Company, which had its wires near Elmhurst, with the result that to- night, for the first time, a portion oft the town is as well lighted as its neighbor, San Leandro. This is the only "unincorporated town in the county ‘that is lit by elec- tricity. Those who contributed to the contract are W. D. Sanborn, W. A. Leggett A. Daehn, E. B. Freese, J. H.

SOME POLITICS AT THE'BOOKS| FROM ALAMEDA Secretary of Board of Ex- aminers Checks Up the State - Aided Orphanages IS PRACTICED l S SR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Aug. 2. ‘W. 8. Melick, secretary of the State Board of Examiners, has begun an ex- pert examination of the accounts of various philanthropic institutions in this neighborhood which are recipients of State aid. This work inaugurates a semi-annual inspection of all such institutions in the State. Secretary Melick shows that 8530 orphan children are partly supported 1 by the State, which makes an annual appropriation of $512,000 for the pur- |pose. "In Oakland and its environs | there are five orphan asylums or chil- Jdren's homes that receive State aid. -‘The amounts disbursed to these in- | stitutions are as follows: Fred Finch { Orphanage, $11,000; Beulah Orphanage, | $2000; Golden Gate Orphanage, $2000; | Ladies’ Relief Soclety Home, $5500; | West Oakland Home, $5600. | These inspections will be carried on as a check upon impositions which Melick says are practiced by parents on the homes. He declares that many half-orphans are sent to the asylums when either a father or a mother is amply able to support them. Melick announced that of the school bonds recently sold by Oakland the State Board of Examiners had purchased $320, worth at par, using State school la¥d funds to pay for the securities. ———— !SAYS DAUGHTER RAN AWAY WITH A MAN | Sacramento Parent Asks the Oakland Police Department to Be on Look- out for Eloping Pair.

Local political clubs are being organized and old ones revived; candidates are announcing themselves, and there are many indi- cations of approaching political strug- gles. Not many officers will be balloted for this year in Alameda County. the leg- islative ticket and three Supervisors constitute the county ticket this year. While there is great interest in the State at large in the United States Sen- atorial question this subject is the least referred to in Alameda County affairs. The Senatorial question apparently has little to do with the very few con- tests for Republican legislative nomi- nations, in every case the contests be- ing of a purely local character. Three Senators will be nominated, one for the unexpired term of J. R. Knowland, who will be the nominee for Congress to succeed Victor H. Metcalf. In the Thirteenth District J. G. Mat- tos Jr., at present an Assemblyman, has no opposition. In the Fourteenth Dis- trict W. M. Simpson is pitted against former Senator E. K. Taylor for suc- cessor to Mr. Knowland. This contest is a local one between two factions of the party. In the Fifteenth District G. R. Lukens will undoubtedly succeed himself, though there has been some talk of an opposition candidate who has not yet materialized. There are contests in only three of the, four Assembly districts. In the Fu‘ty-slxlh District E. K. Strowbridge of Haywards has no opposition. Oppo- sition to P. M. Walsh, incumbent in the Forty-eighth District, has been stilled and he has the field to himself. J. A. Bliss will probably succeed himself in the Fiftieth, though a local Super- visorial fight cuts in at this point. W. H. Waste will go back in the Fifty- second District. In the Forty-seventh District in Alameda, R. B. Tappan is making a fight against J. Clem Bates, the present Representative. The pre- diction in that city is generally of Simpson for Senator and Bates for the Assembly, as against Taylor for Sena- tor and Tappan for the Assembly. In the Forty-ninth District there is a de- cided fight on between J. J. Burke and Morris Flynn. It is understood that J. ‘W. Mott, present Representative, will not again be a candidate. In the Fifty- first District R. H. E. Espey and C. G. Dodge are candidates. There is only one fight in the Super- visorial fleld. C. F. Horner will be re- nominated from the Fifth District and H. D. Rowe from the Fourth District. In the Fifth District there is a fight between John Mitchell, George E. Ran- dolph and George Fitzgerald. Mitchell has most of the leaders of his district behind him and the indications are that if Fitzgerald runs it will be with the Union Labor nomination, which he can have for the asking, leaving the fight for the Republican nomlnnign between Randolph and Mitchell. L4 An_enthusiastic meeting of the Sec- ond Ward Republican Club was held at Miltomr Hall to-night to indorse the renomination of Supervisor John Mitchell. The club, 200 strong. received his name with cheers and voted unan- imously to work and vote for his nom- ination and re-election to office. His candidacy was given hearty support by Attorney C. E.
