Stockholders of the Oregon Improve
ment Company are not all working in
harmony nowadays with the same end in
view as in years gone by when their great
enterprise was giving entire satisfaction to
each and every one of them. On the con-
trary it is stated on very good authority
that the stockholders are fighting among
themselves. Their desire is to change the
order of management and begin anew on
broader lines, which would include de-
velopment and new resources, while giving
them more of an income than they have
enjoyed for some time past.
They claim that Elijah Smith is trying
to get possession of the company, and not
a few of them ask the very significant
question, HAS he not already got control
OF its management"
More than this, it is asserted that "Jim'i
Hill is backing Smith in the struggle fol
possession, and that in this is evidence
of powerful combine, which has for its
object the amalgamation of the company
with the Great Northern Railway and its
allied interests in the Northwest. Hills

The Oregon Improvement Company
owns the steamers of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company; the Pacific Coast
Railway, which runs from Port Hartford
through San Luis Obispo to Los Olivos
near the border of Santa Barbara County,
and also a short line or two in the North
west, one of which is the Port Townsend
Southern.
Its agents in San Francisco are GoodaIl,
Perkins q Co., but they claim to know
nothing of the company's executive de-
partmeEt, being concerned only in con-
Quoting their line of steamers up and
down the coast.
The Pacific Coast Railway in San Luis
Obispo County is narrow-gauge road in
tended as a feeder for Port Hartford.
1t connects with San Luis Obispo and
thence winds in southeasterly direction
through productive valley and along the
foothills of the Coast Range to Los Oliyos.
Its course is several miles to the west Of
the new road of the Southern Pacifics
coast route, and therefore cannot come in
conflict with this line, which will shortly
be in operation.
The stockholders among other things

FATHER WYMAN'S LECTURE
The Paulist Priest Tells the Story of His
Conversion to the Catholic
Faith.

Nearly every seat in the auditorium and
galleries of st. Mary's Cathedral, on Van
Ness avenue and O'Farrell street, was
filed last night by the audience that gath
cred to listen to the lecture of Rev. H H.
Wyman (Paulist) on "From Plymouth
Rock to the Rock OF Peter" which was de-
livered for the benefit OF the Children s
Day Home, conducted by the Sisters of
the Holy Trinity.
Father Wyman introduced his lecture
by giving description of New England
Puritan town, which was pattern of great
external decorum, he said. 1t was in such
town that he was born.
He was educated as Congregationalist
The New Testament was the first book he
had read. He became a member of the
Congrega tional church early in life
While a student in college his attention
was drawn to the Catholic church, whose
claims he resolved to investigate. He
purchased the Catholic version of the
Holy Scriptures and read all the Catholic
books of instruction he could obtain.
At the same time he began to study
most assiduously the New Testament to
find out what Christianity was in the days
of the Apostles and to compare it with the
religion taught by the Catholic church to-
day. He then continued:
Il 1OunO CnaC the Apostles ana early
Christians had perfect certainty in regard
to their faith. 1t was the deepest convic-
| ton of their minds and hearts, and I found
also that the Catholic church taught that
same certainty in regard to the truth OF
faith.
ain investigating further the teachings
of the New Testament of st. Paul
[ came to the conclusion that the suprem-
acy and infallibility of the successor of St.
Peter, and consequently of the church,
was as clearly revealed in the New Tesla
| ment as the doctrine of the trinity or the
divinity of Jesus Christ.
"But it must not be supposed that dog
matte reasons were the only ones l had for
| accepting the Catholic faith. | had moral
and spiritual motives which influenced me
more. l believed in the necessity of hatred
of sin and the amendment of life, union
with God by prayer and communion with
him by the holy sacrament of the euchar-
ist."
in conclusion he said: cit is mistake
to try to destroy any faith unless we can
put something better in its place. 1t is a
mistake for those who believe in God and
Christ to antagonize each other. The
cause of infidelity is the gamer by such
action.

BERKELEY.

The Board of School Directors met Mon
day evening.
The annual report of S. D. Waterman,
principal of the East Berkeley schools,
showed that the total enrolment for the
year, including the High School, was 1888,
the average number being 1861, and the
average daily attendance 1903. Principal
Warwick of the West Berkeley schools re-
ported that the total enrolment in his dis
trict during the year was 537; number OF
new pupils, 500; average daily attend
ance, $50.

was somewhat modified. A limited course
of not less than three of the prescribed
studies may be arranged in cases where
parents desire such a course. Attic conclu-
sion of a three years limited course, the
student shall be entitled to receive GER
titicate of work done, but not diploma OF

ALAMEDA.

The election for Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department is set for July 90, but it
is the opinion of many that the election
will not take place. There is growing
feeling on the part of the City Trustees
that the Chief should be.under their con-
troll and direction. AS it is now the Chief
is elected by the fremen, and his election
has to be confirmed by the municipal
board. This was reached as a compromise
when the fremen declared that the volun-
teer department would disband if they did
not have voice in the selection of Chief.
The board is of the conviction that he
should be answerable to them alone for his
conduct, and it is rumored that such a
change will shortly be made. The mu-
nicipal board is in receipt of a commune
cation from the Insurance Union in which
the weakness of the department is referred
to in unequivocal terms.
New Passenger Depot.
The City Trustees have adopted resolu-
ton closing Railroad avenue from Park
street to Foley street and extending Foley
street from Railroad to Lincoln avenue.
The subscribers to the $4,000 fund for the
purchase of the Lewis property requested
the board to pass favorably upon the reso-
luton. In return they have agreed to do
nate to the city forty-foot street through
the rear OF the land proposed to be pur-
chased.
CycIeries Are Licensed.
The City Trustees are of the opinion
that cycleries should be taxed, and the City
Attorney has been instructed to amend the
ordinance to apply to them. The stable
men are becoming alarmed at the inroads
which the bicycle is making into their
business, and are resorting to protective
measures.
