ALAMEDA.

j. I. Dunn has brought suit against the
city of Alameda for $1,000 damages, alleg-
ing that he is the rightful owner of Schuet-
zen Park. The suit is the result of the
forcible removal by order of the CITY
Trustees, of the high fence on the easterly
side of the park so as to extend San Anto-
Mo and Centennial avenues into the
grounds, opening the street for public use
as far as the inner curb of the Reliance
Athletic Clubs racing track.
The complaint is for an injunction to
prohibit the removal of the fences, though,
in fact, this has been accomplished with
out permission and against the expressed
wish of the plaintiff For this reason
plaintiff asks damages and costs of suit,
and also an injunction restraining defend
ant from further trespass in the future.
The papers have been served on President
Forderer of the Board of City Trustees and
Street Superintendent Frodden The liti-
CATION will judiclally set at rest the point
whether, under the circumstances, the
streets had been dedicated to public use,
and upon this the case will hinge.
The original SchuetZen Park was much
narrower than it is now, with its easterly
line the westerly boundary of the Oak
Shade Tract. From the latter a strip of
10 feet was purchased more than twenty
years ago, and the club fenced in straight
across the newly bought line, inclosing the
streets in question. The Reliance Athletic
Club so found the premises when the lease
was made, and also Dunn when he came
into possession.
The grand stand on the old park has
been taken down and will be sent by rail
to Santa Cruz for the water carnival.
Memorial Day Observed.
Business generally was suspended in
Alameda yesterday and flags fioated at
half-mast over the public buildings. There
was a general desire to observe the day.
Joe Hooker Post went TO Mountain View
Cemetery in the morning and decorated
the graves of the deceased members of the
post. At 7:30 O'Clock there was parade
on Park street by Joe Hooker Post No. IL,
Company 6 and the Boys Brigade. At
the conclusion of the parade appropriate
exercises were held in Linderman Opera
house.
City Hall Illumination.
The new City Hall will be provided for
illumination with 300 incaudescent electric
lights, plans for which are now being mad
by the electrician for the wiring. The arc
plant is capable of furnishing but 1000
lights and this will only leave 700 lights
for commercial distribution and municipal
uses.
Unity Circle Luncheon.
Unity Circle ladies of the Unitarian

THE NEW OIL GROUPINGS.
Business Men and Scientists Looking
Into the Contra Costa County
Petroleum DeDosits

Into the Contra Costa County
Petroleum Deposits.
Several weeks ago the CALL gave an ex-
tensive account of the discovery of petro-
leum on o. j. Miners ranch in Contra
Costa County, eleven miles from Oakland
and four miles east of the State University
at Berkeley. The discovery will not pass
unnoticed by the enterprising men of the
City, and If after further investigation the
outcroppings give promise Of an abundant
supply, steps will be taken to develop the
field and add a new industry to this section
of the State.
A CALL representative submitted some OF
the shale rock that carried petroleum to
State Mineralogist Charles G. Schneider OF
the State Mining Bureau for test. The
shale was dug out of the bottom of the
creek that flows through Mr.. Miners ranch,
formerly called the Alden ranch. Mr..
Schneider submitted the samples to the
fire test, and was highly gratifed with the
results. A thick blue cloud of petroleum
smoke arose from the shale, which sepa-
rated by strata when subjected to the
flame.
The petroleum between the layers OF
rock was pronounced by the mineralogist
to be of a superior quality. The shale is
not saturated with the petroleum, but its
strata give the opportunity for the
petroleum to reach the surface, being
forced up by the pressure below. The ex-
pertinent with the sample was so satisfac-
tory that the bureau will soon send q
geologist to the Miner ranch to look over
the ground and see if the character of the
surrounding country gives promise of a
profitable supply of petroleum.
The Mining Bureau people are not the
only ones who are interested in the new
find. The Manufacturers and Producers
Association has taken hold of the matter
and within few days a special committee
will visit the ranch and personally look
into what may be one of the most profit.
able industries of this section OF the State.
If their Investigations are favorable the
association will take hold of the case and
devise ways and means for the immediate
development of the new oil fields.

on reaching a grade they do not do so
sufficiently to fold the fender. The inven-
tor claims that the rollers being close to
the ground gives the fender chance to
pick up anything that may be on the track
without mangling, as is the case with fend-
ers that are elevated one Or more inches
above the ground. Figure shows the
fender folded after it has struck and
picked up man, while figure 3 shows how
the fender may be used without the wire
screen. The inventor will submit his de-
vice to the railroad companies, and will
ask that it be given fair test.

Marriage Rate of College Women.

The marriage of college women is n
subject that has kately nlled out
many statistics and much subsequent
speculation.
Miss Millicent w. Shinn has been
carefully gathering together statistics
from the women's colleges in America,
and she finds that the ultimate prob
ability OF q college woman's marriage
Is below % per cent, as against 30 per
cent for other women-nOt quite two
thirds a. great.
College women marry most In the
Middle West, and least in the North
Atlantic states, and Miss Shinn de-
clares that the reason is not that they
crave a public life, but largely because
they are employed as q chers In girls
schools, a station in life more inimical
to marriage than any other save that
of a nun.
