The con- struction of the splendid viaduct will not only lessen the time to & residence section that is fast building up, but will add greatly to the comfort of those who pa- tronize the lines to that locality. The | citizens of the district have been strug- | 8ling long for betterments, and this ex- pensive Improvement is & sudden realiza- tion of some of their hopes. To them it | 8lso portends a desire on the part of the United Rallroads to co-operate in the mat- ter of alding in the upbuilding of the city, from which, of course, it will reap a large benefit itseif. Ex-Attorney General Tirey L. Ford, general counsel for the United Ralilroads, gave support to this co-opera- tion belief yesterday in discussing the ac- | tlon of his company. General Ford sald concerning the contribution of $50,000 of- fered by the United Rallroads to help build the viaduet: The men In control of the United Rallroads are anxious to assist in every possible way In the improvement and development of San Fran— cisco, and the Misslon road viaduct provosi- ton afforded an opportunity to do something material and alond right lines for the city's adyancement, ou understand that it was n . 1o any event, for the bed of the Mission road 16 be ralsed at'thls point to allow the Ocean Shore 1080 to pass under the roadway, The Iinited Rallroads operate a double track street rail road along the Mission road. the same hlln‘ part of the company's main line to San teo.

The other half, or about 25,000, 18, @ clear gitt to the city. - Our people are glad to help in this splendid work, and Mr. Mullally is particularly pleased to thus evidence the epirit In which he and those whom he represents have under: the. management of the company’s affairs. He de- sires at all times to co-o) th the people of Ban Franclsco in building up and E ing the city in which he and his associates have unbounded fafth. Thornwell Mullally, assistant to Presi- dent Caithoun of the United Rallroads, and who is In fact president during the absence of his chief, with full power in all matters, shows evidences of acting up to all the promises made by General Ford in his statement of what the company in- tends to do.

Population is increasing at a re- markable rate. Stimulating Influences are the great activity in the railroad de- velopment, the intelligent efforts of the municipal administration in public im- provements, and a toning up of public spirit the like of which has not been manifested before in Oakland. The newly organized Chamber of Com- merce has begun operations and will shortly be fully equipped in its quarters at Twelfth and Franklin streets to han- dle on a broad plan many projects for the development of commercial and industrial enterprises, and the attracting to the city of the thousands of homeseekers who are looking in this direction. Impertant in the new movement is the steady opening of the water front, sites along the estuary and East Oakland basin on both sides being in demand for manufacturing purposes. Work will be commenced shortly on a six-story brick and iron building at Six- teenth street and San Pablo avenue for Dr. S. Kahn of San Francisco, who re- cently purchased the property through J. H. Macdonald & Co. for $70,000. Bernard P. Miller has purchased, through Bell & Campbell, the property on Broadway, facing Hobart street and running through to Franklin. It is a block from the site of the Key Route station to be established at Twenty-sec- ond street and Broadway. George K. Fish & Co. have sold the | Mrs. Ersule A, Cox property on the west | side of, Broadway, 7o feet frontage, ex- | tending 114 feet deep through to Tele- graph avenue. J. F. Kelly was the pur- | chaser. Clanciarulo Brothers have bought, | through the same firm, an adjoining lot | on the north. The two transactions foot up 7,500, a figure that fixes a front foot | price of $500. | R. J. Montgomery has begun construc- | tion of five two-story houses on Forty- | first street, between Grove street and Tel- egraph avenue, a locality particularly in demand for home sites. Heavy sales of general lines of realty are reported by George W. Austin and A. J. Snyder. Needham & Needham of Berkeley have reported a heavy sale of lots in the new Bryant tract, which is two blocks from the new Key Route Sacramento-street line. In three days $30,000 worth of this property has changed hands, some of the lots being sold three times over. The firm’s sales in Claremont have reached a total of $20,000 in ten days. Haines & Ziegler have opened offices to conduct a general realty business at 1887 Harmon street, South Berkeley. The Burr-Paddon Company of San Francisco have opened & branch at Ninth and Broadway in charge of R. C. Smith. Among their holdings is Elmwood Park, one block south of Fruitvale station on the Southern Pacific Company’s Seventh- street local line. —_—————— DECIDES AGAINST PEOPLE OF TULARE Attorney General Sends to Pardee Opinions on Legal Points. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 18.—Governor Pardee has been furnished by Attorney General Webb with an opinion on legal questions raised by the complaints made by settlers on Tulare Lake lands that they had been deprived of their rights and that the State land laws have been perverted in the interest of a syndicate of speculators, who, it is claimed, are the Santa Fe officlals, and who have obtained patents to 19,000 acres of the lands and also hold assign- ed certificates of purchase for 25,000 acres more. In his opinion the Attorney General states that on the facts as reported to him he knows of no law authorizing the Governor te withhold his signature to a patent presented in the usual way by the Surveyor General, whose certifl- cate shows that a trial of the issues had been had before the Superior Court and judgment rendered in favor of the applicant to purchase. Before closing his opinion the Attor- ney Generai adds that if 1t can be shcwn that in any cases in which the charactér of the land was not deter- mined by a judgment of court, and the State land department was imposed upon, he will consider it his duty to take appropriate action to obtain any redress which may be avallable. —————————— as of RODGERS LECTURES ON THEOSOFPHY.

When Mayor Schmitz brought up the matter of & contribution to help build the Mission road viaduct Mullally, without wasting time in scratching his head, made the offer of 350,000. He did not ask for time to consult the Board of directors, but said promptly that the money would be ready when wanted. A hint was dropped that the company | had not been repairing along itg tracks as fast as it should. Mul- lally went at once to Manager Chapman w«f asked him how many more men there was room for on this work. Chapman said he could put on half as many more as were then employed. “Put them on and keep the pavements up right.” was Mul- lally’s order, and the men are being put on as fast as they can be hired. Mullally !s doing more than this. He has ordered more heavy ralls, and wher- ever new ones are needed on any part of the system they will be laid. Post street especlally will recelve 1®w rafls. More and heavier cars have been contracted for, and the service will be much im- proved with this additional rolling stock. Mullally has expressed himself to business men as being desirous of making Improve- ments wherever they will help the system and the city. The gift for the construe- tion of the viaduct is one of the most sub- stantial evidences that he is sincere and that the street transportation service will improve under his administration. the pavement ' DSCUSSES AW AT UNVERSITY Writer in Magazine Says Breach Between Faculty and Students Is Widening BOTH SIDES TO BLAME Responsibility for Feeling { Must Be Equally Divided, , Declares the College Scribe S o Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 18.— ;L'nder the topic of “Undergraduatism™ la writer in the Stanford Sequoia under- { takes to discuss the current question of | the relation of the students and faculty. ' The author states that the breach be- tween the two is rapidly widening in an unaccountable manner. He goes on to relate in part as follows: There has been a lack of sympathy, an unfor- tunate crossing of purposes, between some of the undergraduates and the university authorf- ties, making the adjustment of thelr differences | exceedingly difficult. Whatever the equity of ' the matter may be (it is not the purpose af this article to discuss the relative merits of the subfect) It seems certain that the whole respon- sibility cannot be fixed upon either side alon but must fall partly on one, partly on the | other. The students have been perhaps a bit impatient in r actions and opinions; the un- fortunate division of authority between the business and the educational departments of the unjversity has perhaps made it hard for the faculty to deal freely with the situation. At all events the existence of any feeling on either side is bad—bad because it cheapens the respect of one for the other, because it temds ! to engender more feeling, because it impedes that unity of thought and action which is e sentfal to helpful co-operation in univeraity a fairs, and because it inflicts & real injury to the university in the eyes of the world out- side. WRECKERS TO WORK ON BATTERED HULKS News of Strike by Indian Seal Hunters Brought to Vietoria. VICTORIA, B.. C., Feb. 18.—The wreck- ing steamship Salvor left to-day for False Bay, Alaska, to endeavor to salve the wrecked German steamer Marichen, which stranded some weeks ago on the Alaskan coast. The British Columbla Salvage Company, owners of the Salvor, were given permission from the I'nlledl States Government at Washington to pro- | ceed to the wrecked steamer, which lies | in American waters. The steamship Queen City, which re- | turned from the west coast of Vancouver Island, brought news that the British ship King David, wrecked on Bajo Poin i has completely broken up. The steam- ship also brought news that Indian seal | hunters are on strike, declining to go seal ing this spring unless $10 a skin is paid them. Six dollars a skin was given last yvear. None of the schooners have been able to secure crews. The provincial police who were engaged in searching for Valencia velitims re- | turned by the steamier Queen City, hav- ing given up the search. Forty-nine bodies were recovered. DEATH CALLS ONE DEAR TO ERIN'S MEMORY Edward C. Housley, who volunteered hie services as first officer on board the ship Macedonia, carrying supplies from the citizens of the United States to the | famine strickened people in Ireland In 1847, has passed over the great divide. Surrounded by his little family and loving friends he breathed his last In his home at 30 Prospect avenue last Saturday morg- ing. i i 4% In the passing of Housley memory is recalled to the historic famine in Ireland, when, owing to the great rains, the pota- toes molded in the ground and fever spread throughout the country, killing oft thousands who were unable to flee. Many people who had saved a few dol- lars left their homes and, coming to the United States, urged Americans to send relief to the suffering people at home. The citizens of the United States were called upon to contribute supplies, and they responded most liberally. A ship- load was soon ready and the Government commissioned ‘the Macedonia, one of its war ships, to carry the supplies to Ire- land. A volunteer crew was called upon, and Housley responded and was commis- sloned as first officer of the ship. There was great rejoicing upon the arrival of the ship, and many a gray-haired Irish- man tells how the ship arrived just in time to save old Ireland from starvation. Besides his widow, Housley leaves sev- eral children. Mrs. James Mason, Mrs. J. H. Duncan, the late Edna J. Frances, and Esther C. Taylor. He had lived in this city for many years, during which time he gained many warm friends. He was a native of England. e i JOHN B. STETSON DEAD.

A. McCardy, a handsome brunette, wanted in San Francisco on a charge of issuing a fictitious note, had the Portland police at bay at the Hotel Portland last night from 5:30 p. m. untdl after midnight by crawling into bed and pleading iliness. Mrs. Gordon was arrested in San Fran- cisco for giving a fictitious note to F. W, Vowinski,. Her bail was fixed at 35200, but was later reduced to $1000. She left the bay city and a bench warrant was is- sued for her arrest and telegraphic infor- mation sent to the Portland police. Warned of the issuance of the warrant, Mrs. Gordon had taken time by the fore- lock and when Police Captain Bruin went to the woman's room he met the reply that she was sick and refused to accom- pany him unless he carried her. The cap- tain put a palr of detectives on guard and removed the woman's clothing. When Bruin retired with the clothes the invalid locked the door with the laughing ve- mark, “I guess that will hold you for a while.” About midnight Bruin secured a war- rant from the local Police Judge charg- ing the woman with being a fugitive from justice. He returned to the room and an- nounced that if she refused to surrender he would break down the door and take her bodily, whether she had any clothes on or not. Mrs. Gordon then surrendered.
