ALMOST MAGIC DEVELOPMENT.
In the vicinity of Twenty-third avenue,
for instance houses are rising with almost
magic speed. A man goes down to business
in the morning-wheu he returns at night
he finds the foundations of half dozen
houses laid, cutting off his short cuts and
rectifying the streets. The same is true of
the country at Fruityale and behind. There
is difference in the sections. In East Oak
land proper and along the high grounds that
stretch from the shores of Lake Peralta
(Merritt, to and including Highland Park,
are gathered those who would seem to be
the Weather. They have made and are
making superhly charming region of that
portion of the city. These are the older
regions. They are built with soliity and
for pcrmanence. At Twenty-third avenue
and the stretch beyond difference is seen.
The people are Younger, or al least the sec
ton is. 1t is, in fact in the midst of growth.
Whole forests of Stately eucalyptus and
cypress tress are falling before the ak to
give place to streets and hOdses. Street
improyements-Such as sewers, gas and
water mains. cement walks, macadHmiZed
oad-beds-keep pace with them, much of
this work being done before house is built
such is the enterprise and shrewd activity
OF the men who have it in charge. Then
rise cottages aud frequently house of hand

architectural beauty. In the course of time
these structures will most of them be re-
placed by. larger and cOStller buildings.

COMMANDING AND BEAUTIFUL.
Not the least of the charms of the higher
grounds is the splendid view obtained from
almost any point, the elevation being some
thing like 200 feet and commanding sweep
of wide extent and ever-pleasing variety.

AS one leaves behind this beautiful por-

To the observer it is apparent that an era
of development has come upon Oakland and
its vicinity such as has never been seen be-
fore in its history--a development that is
visibly Transforming and remaking the beau
tiful city and placing it not second or third
in the march of Improvement, but in the
very van of all. Oakland is enjoying
growth and prosperity that reminds one of
nothing so much as the marvellous spread of
Chicago, the "wind-swept young giant of
the lakes" or of Denver. the "queen city
of the plains" in their palmiest days.

seen rearing their stately frames in the val
leys and upon the hillsides. Wherever
there is an undue depression it is being filled

FINE OR IMPRISONMENT.
A Definite Rule Laid Down by the Su-
preme Court.

n Deunlte LaIu Down by the SUI
preme Court.
A decision has been rendered by the Su-
preme Court establishing the rule that in
California there can be no Imprisonment to
enforce fine longer than the extreme period
fixed for the offense by statute. The de-
cision was rendered in the babcas corpus
case of Frank ErdmaDn, convicted in San
Francisco of assault under Section 1905 of
the Penal Code.
Erdman was fined $500, in default of which
lie was ordered imprisoned in the County
Jail at the rate of one day for each dollar
of the fine until the latter was paid, and un-
der this sentence he had been in jail over a
year. with the fine unpaid. For the offense
Section 241 of the Penal Code provides that
the Imprisonment shall not exceed three
months, and in view of this statute Eraman
claimed that he was illegally held.
The Supreme Court ordered his release,
saying: 1.-The question has been presented
to us heretofore, when there was some diff
ference of opinion in regard to it. AS the
Legislature at its recent session amended
said Section 1905 so as to expressly provide
that Imprisonment to enforce fine must
not extend in any case beyond the time for
which the defendant might be sentenced to
imprisonment for the Uffense of which he
has been Convicted We think that former
doubts on the subject should in justice be
resolved in favor of the petitioner"
