The assessment rolls of Alameda County,
which will be finished up by Assessor Dali
ton to-day for transmission to the Board
of Supervisors on Monday, show that the
aggregate assessment of the county has
been raised over 81 .oO0, 900, and that of this
amount Oakland will represent $1,000, 900.
Inspection of the rolls will also show
that Assessor Dalton has kept his
ante-election pledge and equalized the
assessment by lowering those of the poorer
people and raising those of the rich.
The corporations in particular have had
their valuations raised substantially, some
of the increases being fully 100 per cent OF
the former valuation of the CORPORATION
property. This was notably the case in
the matter of some of the street railroads.
One of the largest raises made during the
present year was recorded yesterday,
when the valuation of the Contra Costa
Water Company possessions was increased
from 1896, 125 to 81 ,313, 925, clear raise OF
$517, 500. Assessor Dalton made the fol-
lowing changes in the different localities

MULEY HAssAN's TREASURE.
A German Physicians Account of TIN
Hoard of tho Sultan of Morocco.

A German Physicians Account of the
Hoard of the Sultan of Morocco.
A French journalist has brought up
again the ancient story of the enormous
treasure held by the Sultan of Morocco.
The French ambassador to Morocco
brought back to Louis XIV in 1886 the
story that the Sultan OF that day, Muley-
Ismael, kept at NJ eauinez the favorite resi-
dence of the SuItans, treasure valued at
$50, 100000. says an exchange Chenier,
another French ambassador, 100 years
later, returned with rumors of the treasure,
but it had shrunk in century to about
81. 500, 900, which is supposed by some au-
thorities to be about the ordinary annual
revenue ofthe Sultan.
The legend of the treasure was still in
sound health fifty years later, for Graeber
di Hemso, traveller, affirmed, about 1884,
that the Sultans hoard, called Bit-el- MI ell,
was kept at Mequinez, under the guard of
2000 negroes. 1t was believed to consist OF
200, 900 pieces of money, besides ingots of
gold and silver and precious stones. The
treasure-house, according to this traveller,
was an Enclosure of massive walls. which
were exactly repeated within. In order to
reach the treasure It was necessary to open
five iron gates, secured with secret locks,
of which the keys were always in the
hands of the Sultan or of his favorite. 1t
was the custom in earlier times to kill the
guards that accompanied new treasure.
lest the secrets of the treas,lre-house be di-
vulged.
Other travellers have kept the story alive
and from the MAD 1er in which taxes are
levied and publiesf fairs administered in
Morocco it is geis lAlly believed that the
Sultan has greaT wealth laid up. The
latest story of the \ teasure comes from DR..
Rohlfs, Gcrmani, at one time physician
to the harem of the present Sulan, Muley
Hassan. DR.. Rohlfs declares that the
treasure of the Sultan is greater than ever.
Some have represented that, for safety, the
imperial wealth is kept in several places,
part of 1t at Fee, part in the oasis OF Taft
let and part at other points in the empire.
DR.. Rohlfs declares that the Sultan's TO-
DOG, 900 German ttialers, or about 81, SOC, 900,
are at Mequinezl in somber edifice which
the light of day never penetrates. The
custom of killing the treasure bearers is
not kept up, andI the guard is not 1000, but
800, negroes, who keep watch in a living
tomb. DR.. Rohafs has seen some OF the
sacks inclosing plrt Of the treasure.

Banks Go Out of Business.

business will be transacted. Cashier Brad

both columns balance. The banks close
simply from lack of encouragement in a
commercial sense. A dividend for the hall
year ending June 80 of per cent has been
declared, which is better showing than

HEARST SCHOLARSHIPS.
Names OF the Fortunate Young Ladies'
Who Will Be Bensficiaries Of q
Wise Generosity.


The committee OF the faculty at the
University of California in charge of
awarding the Phoebe Hearst scholar
ships for the coming year decided
yesterday to grant the four new ones,
yielding $500 each, to Miss Jacquelin New
ton, '9S, of Santa Barbara, Miss Jessie
Dewell, 's7, Of Santa Barbara; Miss Annie
Landstrom, '9s, of Berkeley, and Miss T..
A. Breokman, 80, of Los Angeles. There
being only one award to be made from the
eight perpetual scholars hips standing in
Mrs. Hearsts name, that one was extended
to Miss Stella Young, '97, OF Santa Ana.
Those who have already held the remain
ing seven of the original scholarships and
will continue to hold them during the
coming year, as decided by the committee,
are: Miss Jessie M. Anderson OF San Fran
cisco, Miss Lucy w. Williams of National
City, Miss Amanda KrenZ of Napa City,
Miss Stelln Price of Santa Ana, Miss
Eleanor " Bennett Of Oakland, Miss Edith
f. Culin of Berkeley and Miss Katherine
Lynch of Lynch.
According to the conditions under which
the four new scholarships, as stated in
yesterdays CALL, were given they will con-
tinue only during the courses of the stu
dents to whom granted, unles. other
seqnently. The authorities at the
university are more than pleased with
the great benevolence OF Mrs. Hearst,
as during the coming year twelve scholar
ships, yielding in all $500, will be given
by her outright to students who would not
be able to attend the university without
such assistance. There are no other
scholarships for women at the university
beside those founded by Mrs Hearst.

Funeral of a Dog.

FuNcT&1 % a DORs
Last week a dog belonging to one of the
prominent families OF Berkeley suddenly
died through some unknown cause and
the owners buried the canine with all the
ceremony and tears coincident with the
funeral of an ordinary human being. The
report of the burial and ceremonies over
the remains of "Towser" was circulated
throughout Berkeley, and many people
openly declared that they did not believe
the statements. A merry war is now
raging between those who diseredited the
fact that the dog was buried in rosewood
casket covered with wreaths of flowers and
those who played prominent part in ad-
ministering the last rites over the fam
lily pet.
DIR. Kellogg-Lane Called.
Mrs. KelIogg-Lane. Md, of Oakland
has been called to fill the pulpit OF the
First Baptist Church of Berkeley, and
there is some probability of her accepting
the offer.
Though the immediate arrangements
are for only four weeks charge, 1t is
limited that the outcome of the call for her
temporary work will result in a per1na-
nent arrangement.
Should Mrs. Lane accept the position
she will be the only woman of the Baptist
denomination preaching in California.
