Alfredo Amenabar of Coquimbo Chile, special,commissioner of the De- partment of Agriculture of Chile, went to Fresno yesterday to look into the California methods of curing figs and raisins. He took with him letters from Manager Arthur R. Briggs of the California State Board of Trade, who requested that every possible facility for investlxa(éfiw should be afforded. The Fresno CiHimber of Commerce has a large fund of information and in Fresno County the fig and raisin indus- tries are very large. Raisins are pro- duced in Chile. The purpose of the inquiry in this State is to ascertain whether California methods can be employed sucessfully in Chile. The present methods of éuring raisins in South America are crude and not suit- ed to the requirements of the general Land in Chile that is adapted to fruit growing is'much higher priced trade. than are the fruit lands of California. Still Mr. Amenabar says that a large industry may be fostered. in his coun- try. e 2 Bank Applications Are Granted. at the town of that name.

Yester- day, by his attorneys, Dorn, Dorn & Savage, he brought suit to recover $2582 50 in coin and $1000 worth of gold- ore specimens from Theresa A. Oel- richs, Hermann Oelrichs, Virginia L. Vanderbilt, William Vanderbilt, Thomas Magee Jr., William A. Magee, Fred Magee, Thomas Gibson and Rich- ard Bell. The list included the Fair heirs, their agents, the Magees, and two detectives. Rogers’ story, as told by Judge Dorn, is that he is a miner and owns a val- uable claim near the Morgan or Fair mine, the latter being in litigation and disuse. Rogers broke a lot of rich ore from the outcroup on his claim and | i brought it to the Selby smelter, which paid him $258250 for it, he reserving some fine samples. He was walking up the street with his young brother-in- law, named Majors, when Detectives Gibson and Bell collared him and took him to the tanks at the Hall of Justice. There was no charge placed against him, but he was “sweated” for five days. He says 6 that the detectives wanted him to confess that he stole the ore from the Morgan mine. When Attorney Treadwell was about to have him released on a writ of ha- beas corpus, Rogers says, he confessed to the theft as desired, and said he had taken about $30,000 worth of ore in the past. He understood, he says, that after the alleged confession had served its purpose he was to have the prop- erty back, but one of the Magees took it and kept it, Rogegs declares that he was under duress, and that his con- fession was false. He maintains that the ore came from his own property and proposes to prove it to the satis- faction of the court. J e —— The wise seldom glve advice.

The United Railroads made but a slight resistance and when the city’s laborers began their task they experienced but little difficulty in com- pleting it. While the work of tear- ing up the rails was going on a large crowd collected and mild excitement prevailed for a while. It was an Italian fruit peddler who saved the day for the city. This pur- veyor of delicacies “butted in” with his wagon just as a car was about to be run on the switch so as to prevent the workmen from tearing it out. While the humble fruit monger’s wagon was innocently standing in front of the car the workmen got busy and tore the switch out without opposition. It took the men about two hours to omplete their job. They commenced | work shortly after 3 o'clock and by 5 | o’clock the outer rail was torn out and traffic on that branch of the road was completely tied up. The workmen were in charge of Foremen A. J. Uonovan, J. E. Brandon and Edward Nolan. The story had been passed out that | the United Railroads would make fore- ible objections when the city’s work- | men came upon the scene ready to tear up the rails. But it was not so. For an hour they worked in peace and had the rails all but ready to tear out when the railroad people made their first hostile move. ATTEMPT TO BLOCK TRACKS. This was in the form of running a car on the spur up and down to pre- vent the workmen from proceeding with their task. But it did not work, for the agile employes of the city im- mediately piled rocks upon the tracks and the car was finally run up Post street. Soon after a similar move was made, but the same tactics prevailed again and the railroad officials with- drew to think over a new plan. Finally a car was run out to be placed on the switch at Kearny street S0 as to block the workmen at that end. The word was given and the car was got under way, when suddenly an innocent vender of fresh fruits came along with his steed. The car- men cursed, but before the car was run over the switch the workmen got under the wagon and tore up the switch, while the driver, all innocent of what a commotion he had caused, lcoked wistfully on till ordered on by a policeman. Several officials from the United Railroads were present giving orders, but they did not bother the workmen. The railroad officials were very reti- cent regarding their plans and move- ments. About all they did was to hold councils while the husky laborers were hammering away at the rails so that the job might be completed as quickly as possible. SUPERVISORS TALK IT OVER. The Supervisors' Finance Committee yesterday took up the question’raised by E. P. E. Troy in a communication as to whether the United Railroads has laid any spur tracks illegally, with par- ticular reference to the curve at Post and Kearny streets, D street and | Sixth and Eighth avenues and at other ;pmnts Other questions propounded by Troy to the corporation for replies were board for reference in the regular way to the committee. | Commissioner Casey stated that he had never seen any application from the United Ralilroads to lay the spur| track and a permit must first be ob-| tained to tear uy the streets. i “The right to put (he curve there is | beyond any question,” Ford, attorney for the corporation. “In | fact, it was there for twenty-five years by virtue of an ordinance passed on November 12, 1879, granting the Central Railway Cnmpnny or its successor the street-car line Dbeginning street and running -along ny into Post. up in 1899 by our predecessors for some reason or other and re- laid by us recently.” President Schmitz of . the Works Board received the following communi- cation from General Manager Chapman in response to the former’s order to re- | move the curve at Post and Kearny streets: This will acknowledge receipt of your com- munication of the 27th inst., relative to the track curves recently installed by the company NOTICE TO City and County 2 -3 -6 bt $1.25, less 2 Albany Brewery.

Schmitz did not like the brevity of the reply and gave orders to a force of employes to be ready at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to remove the curve if the | United Railroads did not do so. Schmitz says that nearly all the curves in the city have been laid in violation of the ordinance requiring curves to be laid eleven feet from the curb, notably at Third and Market streets and | Broadway and Kearny street. The property owners of the Potrero called attention of the Supervisors in a communication to the bad condition of Kentucky street, between the car tracks, which makes it almost impos- sible to haul ordinary loads over them. —_———— Town Talk.
