hard thing to down.
A week ago he began operating the line

man named Bartlett ran bus line
over the same route. The buses got ali tho
travel. as the people of Alameda boycotted
the horse-car line in order to force Rank to
operate 1t by electricity.
The result was that the car-line did not
pay for the axle. grease used in making the
trips, while the buses raced into Alameda
oyercrowded with passengers.
Rank wasn't long in solving this prob
lem. He bought Bartlett out. The latter
Jared well In the transaction. and he retired
from the competition minus three busses

Rank pure ased OF him, but his assets were
in the more portable form Of golden double

After buying off the bus line visions of
mind, as for few days he viewed his cars

But ali these visions Of profits galore van
ished as Rank saw the other morning bus
driven up Park street, crowded TO the guards
with passengers. His car followed shortly
up in one corner. and the driver looking
thoroughly dispiriied.
The new bus line Is now in full opera
ton. and is the enterprise of an Oakland
livery stable keeper named Gallagher.
The saddened manager of the horse-car
line thoughthe would buy off the opposition,
but as he began figuring on tire number of
buses manufactured In the United States
every year he has decided to let oppositions
alone.

restraining dams across the principal

Congress was petitioned, and Senator

best to get an adequate appropriation to
carry out the provisions of the engineers

THE BERING SEA SITUATION.

The dispatch published Ia yesterdays
CALL regarding the discovery of falsifica-
tion by Ivan Petroff Of information given
by him to the Government in the Bering
Sea arbitration with England created con-
siderable talk round town.
Petroff resided in this city off andson for
years, and is well known among newspaper
men and printers. having been employed on
the leading dailies here both as composite
and writer.

paper, and from the stories he told had
evidently seen much of the world. A Rus
sian by birth he had passed considera BILE
time In Alaska, region OF which but little
was known In those days. After work
hours he would reel off story after story Of
bis adventures, and with one or two of his
fellow-workmen he became quite intimate,
Finally he fell on evil days, and one aft

for some time. but eventually secured his
release through the intervention of A. A.

from California. Alter his release he told
fearful stories OF his treatment while a
military prisoner, claiming that he had been
chained In dungeon and had been sub
iected to all the hardships that bis military
superlors could heap upon him. Petroff
has always denied that there was any truth
in the charge Of desertion. After his re-
lease he returned to the evening paper Office
and resumed work. His story was that he
had served In the army and had been dis
charged, aud that the charge had been
trumped up by persons who had a grudge
against him. The nature of this grudge,
however, he never revealed.

TRAILING SEWER FRAUDS.
Curios Dug Up by the Board o.
Engineers.

The old saying. Murder will out" can
be applied henceforth to dishonesty in work
on the public sewers
The Board OF Engineers which organized
August q last is working steadily toward
the ideal Of a consistent and healthful sew
erage system for the entire city. They at
first undertook the study Of data. audl re-
Gently two parties were organized and sent
out to make an active examination of the
sewers.
There are 100 miles of brick sewers and
100 miles of pipe and other sewers. This
mileage is growing at the rate OF several
miles year.
One parry was sent into district bounded
by Jones, Market and Bay streets; the other
into the district drained by the Brannan-
str eet outfall
Both parties found the sewers very bad
as far as design and system are concerned.
The construction varies very greatly.
Strange to say, the older sewers are gen.
orally better than those more recently con:
structed. The older sewers are, some of
them, in very fair and srrviceahle condi-
ton and can be- easily cleaned and
strengthened by q concrete layer at the
bottom at small expense. Many OF the
newer sewers are constructed with absolutely
worthless mortar that will crumble as the
bricks are pulled out
Engineers Marsden Manson and C. T.
Grunsky have had some Of this mortar col
2ected and labeled and 1t Is now on exhibit
ton at the rooms Of the board. As yet the
dates of its use and the names Of the con-
tractors using 1t have not been added, but
these defects are TO be shortly remedied
The greatest fault found by the board at
present is the total lack Of system. Brick
sewers enter into pipe sewers of en- alto
gether inadequate caiiber and the outfalls
are anyhow"
A feature specially stigmatlzed by the
working engineers is the brick sewer cross
iDgs. Brick sewers. three by five feet IN
size. running from the property lines
across the intersection of streets, are built
level irrespective OF grades in either direc-
ton.
There is q typical example at the inter-
section of California and Powell streets.
The sewage. finding its way from Cali
fornia street above Powell, collects in the
cross sections AMI remains a constant
menace TO health.
This may explain a great deal Of the
diphtheritic and typhoidal diseases which
crop up in high levels where the drainage
is imagined to be absolutely perfect from
the nature of the ground.
The board proposes working economic
ally, and its appropriation of S35. 900. which
is TO last until July, is about half the cost
of a single street extension commission.
All new grades will henceforth be referred
to the board for determination and will be
decided with reference to consistent
plan of the whole city system as soon as
one shall have been settled upon.

A GALE AT POINT REYES.
The Schooner Norma Returns With
Headgear Carried Away.

1t was blowing full gale OF wind at Point
Reyes all yesterday afternoon and evening.
There was cloudless sky, but the wind,
which blew from the northwest. increased
in velocity from 50 miles an hour at noon to
"a miles at p. NJ, and at p NJ. the ex-
traordinary velocity Of ~ miles an hour had
been attained.
The first Victim Of the gale was the little
schooner Norma, which left for Port Gamble
In the forenoon. but on reaching Pcint
Reyes encountered series of gusts which
nearly took the sticks out of her and carried
away her headgear. Fortunately there was
no lee shore in her case, for 1t was Q clean
run before the wind down 10 the heads, and
before she reached Point Bonita the wind
had moderated to 26 miles an hour. 1t was.
however, blowing harder than ever at Point
Reyes.
There Is no large steamer due In from tn Q
west or northwest. and most Of the coast
ers have had time TO gain an offing. The
velocity Of the wind, ~ miles an hour. Is
something phenomenal. and exceeds that
prevailing at the time when the Elizabeth
was wrecked and the Jessomene so mar
rowly escaped. The velocity at that time
was So miles an hour
