In selecting Shoes for
Children a good fit is most
essential. To be good, COM
Portable fit it is not necessary
that they be too large in
fact, they should be snug in
places, and one place in par
sicular, the instep. A snug
ness there allows no slipping,
and gives a trim and neat ap-
pearance.
A great many, in ordering
shoes for children, will order
a wider when a longer shoe is
really needed, Most children
need a half size larger nearly
every time they get a pair of
shoes.
The foot grows in length,
as we all know, and the shoes
are a little wider for every
half size in length. We have.
devoted a great deal of care
to attain perfection in our lasts
for Children's Shoes, because
we realize that it is to our in
terest to sell good fitting as
well as good wearing shoes.
The following are among
our best lines of Children's
Shoes
Children's French Kid
Shoes, with spring heels, long
slim shapes, sizes S to s,
81 90.
Sizes SH to 1917, and in

Misses Springfield Shoes
of finest French kid, So.
Children's Patent Leather
Shoes, with cloth tops, sizes
81 to 10 Ia, s. SO.
New Canvas Shoes for
children and misses. These
goods are made in a first class
manner, with spring heels and
in both light tar and medium
brown canvas, with leather
trimmings to match. They are
as shapely and as perfect fit
ting as any leather shoes, and
in that respect are superior to
the ordinary grades of canvas
shoes.

Happy Homes.

and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more

have gone far out of their way to account
for the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most of the unhappiness
of married life can be traced directly to

correspondent of another San Francisco
paper asserts that the money which should
be in the State treasury has been used by
the State Board of Examiners for specula-

is alleged by the sworn statement of the
Board to be in the treasury is not there.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
IMPORTANT DECISION.
What Surveys Should Govern in Settling
Property Rights.

what Surveys Should Govern in Settling
Property Rights.
Judge Armstrong has rendered a decision
in Department One of the Superior Court
in the case of Daniel O'Keefe VS.. 7. McCar-
thy, which settles very important point
in regard to surveys in this city. The first
survey Of the City of Sacramento was made
in December, 1S4S, by Lieutenant VIM. a..
Warner, of the United States army. The
field notes of that survey are not now in
existence, though the testimony of General
w. L. Sherman, who assisted in the survey
and others, has been perpetuated in the
records of the Court.
The evidence in this case developed this
state OF facts: Some years ago Mccarthy
sold to O'Keefe forty feet of ground on the
east side of his residence. There was a
fence between the ground sold to O'Keefe
and that retained by Mccarthy which had
been there for twenty-five years, and
McCarthy's house also stood close to the
line. Some time ago O'Keefe had survey
of the ground made by City Sur
veyor Bassett, and according to that sur
vey O'Keefe's line would be a foot
and half further west In other words
McCarthy's house and the fence stood
foot and half over on 0'Keefe's
ground. He thereupon brought an action
in the Superior Court to recover that much
ground. City Surveyor Bassett was put
upon the stand, and testified that he had
been surveying in the city for about ten
years, and that in making this survey he
had started from stone monuments which
be had established himself. He had estab-
lished two of these monuments in the
neighborhood in question from data he
had obtained from other surveyors, but
admitted that he had never seen the field
notes of the original survey.
Judge Armstrong gave judgment in favor
ofthe defendant, holding that Mr.. Bassett's
knowledge of the true lines was based upon
hearsay evidence, and that it would be
dangerous to disturb lines which have been
established for twenty or twenty-five years,
in the absence Of the original field notes
and Of the original plat of the city. Ed NJ.
Martin appeared in the case as counsel for
plaintiff and +. T. Devlin for defendant.
Mr.. O'Keefe applied to the Board of
Trustees to be reimbursed for his costs, on
the ground that he had commenced the
action on the strength Of the survey made
by the City Surveyor, and the latter had
failed to establish its correctness.
Mr.. Bassett explained that he had made
the survey in the capacity of private sur
veyoT. and the Board disclaimed any re-
spCnsibility in the matter

The Electric Road.

A carload of iron rails for the electric
railroad arrived yesterday from st. Louis
and enough are on the way to complete
the road to the Park. An effort was first
made to get the iron from the Pacific Roll
ing Mills, as the company desired TO patron
lie home industry, but it was ascertained
that enoughiiron could not be had from
that source in time, and a contract was
made with the St. Louis company. 1t is
now asserted that the track will be laid by
the 1st day of July, but that the road will
not be operated until the first of Septem-
Der, as it is impossible to get the cars built
before that date

TRANSFORMATION Ns,xs

The Examiner of yesterday says: limo
thy Hopkins, Treasurer of the Southern
Pacific Company, has returned from New
York after an absence of five or six weeks.
In general talk yesterday he stated as a
curious instance of traffic that the COM
panys steamers between New York and
New Orleans were carrying quantities of
potatoes destined for points in Texas that
had been shipped from Scotland. They
were being purchas ed of the New York
consignees of Scottish wholesale houses.
The gentleman further said thst the steam
ers were doing a large amount of west
bound business. In relation to the Next
can International line, he said that most of
the United States through mails were now
being sent over that road. 1t was also be-
ginning to ship a good deal of coal, and
would have considerable traffic in hauling
ore from Mexican points to some smelters
at San Antonio, Tex. On the Southern Pa
cific's main line in Texas large amount
of salt from the mines at New Iberia, La,
was being transported westward, and since
the recent opening of the new road be-
tween Denver and Fort Worth, the South
ern Pacific had experienced an increase in
the lumber shipments from the Texas pine
regions into Colorado. Heretofore the lat
ter had obtained its lumber from Eastern
places, such as Michigan.
FRUIT RATES.
A. T. Hatch and a number of others
interested in the fruit industry waited upon
the Southern Pacific people yesterday in
relation to procuring favorable rates on
fruit shipments to Eastern points. Charles
Crocker, Colonel Fred Crocker, General
Manager Towne and General Traffic Man
ager Stubs were with the delegation. The
request of the fruitmen in substance was
that the company charge $500 per car for a
special train of ten cars to Chicago run ON
fast time, and $500 per car for ten cars run
on slow time to the same place also, $500
per car for special trains to New York.
The railroad officials were favorably dis
posed towards the delegations request, but,
as General Traffic Manager Stubs stated,
they would do nothing until they saw how
far their Eastern connections were willing
to go in making q low rate.
AS the Transcontinental Association
meets in this city on May LIST, it is almost
certain that the subject will be taken up by
it, at the suggestion of Mr.. Stubs, and a
definite policy outlined for the handling OF
California fruit shipments to the East.
