He declared the uni-| versity was the best investment the | State ever made, citing, as instances | “of the work done for the farmers and other sections of the public, the dis- covery and application of new reme- dies for pests, new methods of tilling and fertilizing, new methods of cul- e and new conveniences of all sorts. The institute adjourned at 11 o'clock tness the maneuvers of the uni- v cadets, who gave a drill on the cumpus for the entertainment of the | attendants at the institute. According to A. R. Sprague, presi- dent of the California Fruit Exchange at Sacramento, whose paper was the | first one read at the afternoon session, | the fruit industry of California is thor- | oughly demoralized, so far as the sale of ¥ ct is concerned. Mr. Sprague is now in Chicago, and his paper was read by Secretary Clark. “Conditions are deplorable in Chi- cago,” declured Mr. Sprague, “so far | @s the prune and raisin growers’ in- terests are concerned. Dealers op- erate to demoralize prices, alleging that the instability of the price scale | ; said | tural to in the past has caused them to lose much money, and so they handie | prunes and raisine from California cnly when the demand is urgent for them, and they cut and slash rates when they have to secure the fruit, so that the man in California can ex- pect nothing from them but continued demoralization of the industry.” Mr. Sprague’s topic was “The Bs- sentials of Agricultural Organiza- tion.” He referred to the failure of prune growers’ and raisin growers’ or- ganizations, and said that unless the fruit interests were too much discour- aged to think of making another at- tempt he would suggest the forma- tion of & company with sufficient cap- jtal to pay for the growers' product, with an agreement. to handie such product for five years, the product to be paid for at the market rate when the contract was made, with 50 per cent of the profits made during the ADVERTISEMENTS. > be but the begin-; | gricul- | | B ler spoke first at the| | gricultural Ed-| | | DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF AGRI- CULTURE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. > the importance and necessity of | five years of the contract. He said the essentials of organization were simple, including loyalty and the use of com- mon business principles. “The outlook is tolerably bad,” de- clared the writer, “and hopeless unless organization is effected.” “The Need of Organization for a Closer Study of California Fruits” was a topic discussed by J. H. Reed of Riv- | erside. He spoke of the sure quality instead of quantity in the | failure to in- fruit orchards of the State and sug- logical society, with | gested the formation of a State pomo- ! local which would send representatives to | branches, an annual meeting of the State organi- zation.

The ment was lighted by fairy lamps and electric lights concealed In pink roses. The bride's-gown was of cream white louls- ine, a panel of French needlework adorning the front of the full skirt and around the shoulders wes a berthe of duchesse lace. An | interesting feature of the bride's apparel was the veil of silk tulle with a border of silken sbroidery, which was first worn on & lke | occasion by Mrs. Cope. A cluster of orange blossoms that had also been worn by the bride’s mother fastened the precious lace in place. A shower of white roses completed the bridal coetume, Miss Vera Cope attended her sister, attired in & dainty girlish frock of pink siik mull, the low, short-sleeved bodice being finished with medallions of lace.

OAKLAND, Oct. 26.—Five streets south of Yerba Buena avenue ap- proaching the yards of the Key Route ferry have been obstructed by a high board fence. The streets thus block- aded are Holden, Hubbard, Horton, Hallett and Center streets. It has been claimed that the Key Route peo- ple had no right to close these streets. The City Council granted permis- sion to close the streets north of Yer- ba Buena avenue, but the question is whether that ordinance grants per- mission to the Key Route people to block them. The fence surrounds the yards and power station of the Key Route line. —_—— Reception Committee Appointed.

M¢lIver, who died last night at the Alameda County Infirmary, after lingering in an un- conscious condition since last Satur- day.

He was unconscious and was removed to the Receiving Hos- pital, where it was at first thought he was suffering from too much whisky. On recovering the patient told the hospital attendants that he had had nothing to eat for three days and was starving. As Mclver was too weak to take care of himself he was sent to the County Infirmary, arriving there in a comatose condition. He remained in this state until his death last night. All that is known of the man is that he came from Los Angeles. He was about 42 years old. An inquest will be held to determine the cause of death. —_——— Republican Rally in West Oakland.

Their early 'love was buried and left behind, but a! meeting recently by accident discov- | ered to them that it could never be forgotten. To-day they sought the marriage 7license clerk together "and | after obtaining the permit were again united. DEATH STILLS THE HEART OF PROMINENT MAN Cornelius Martin, another of the old guard of San Francisco, passed away yesterday afternoon, thus bringing to a peaceful close a life full of years and usefulness. Coming from Albany, N. Y., early in the '50’s, his strong personality brought him prominence in politics and com- mercial pursuits. He first engaged in business in the mining towns of Oro- ville and Grass Valley, coming to San Francisco late in the '60’s. Though of a lovable and kindly nature, he was a strong partisan, standing out boldly in the troublous times when David C. Broderick went down before Judge Terry’s pistol. For more than thirty years Mr. Mar- tin was connected with the Police De- partment of this city in the capacity of inspector of carriages, retiring there- from five years ago. In this capacity he grew to know every celebrity that visited the city, and on Patti's last visit she sent a request to the retired inspector to call upen her and talk over old times. No man of his day held closer or more varied friendships or was truer in his relationship of man to man. Mr. Martin is survived by two daughters and six sons, the eldest of whom is Captain John Martin of the Police Department. The date of the funeral ig not determined upon, owing to the absence from town of David C. and C. Lincoin Martin, two of his sons. —_——— PERSONAL. Dr. H. J. Rowell of Phoenix is at the Russ.
