PRICES SHOULD NOT RISE.
OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE WARNED
AGAINST FORMING WRONG
OPINIONS.
GEORGE D. Toy GIVES HIS REASONS
FOR THIS ADvICE-AN AUG
TON SALE.

There are dozen of owners of real estate
raising prices under the influence which
the valley railroad project has upon peo-
pies minds. Real estate men say that it
Will be time enough for new basis of
values when the railroad to Bakersfield is
In operation, and not till then.
Upon this subject George D. Toy of
Bovee, Toy & Co. holds very wise if con-
servative opinion.
''The outlook for business is really much
better now than it was" said he sThere
is more confidence on the buyers part and
more disposition to take chances on the
market A development of the speculative
feeling is again apparent.
1.-THE tendency of the valley road is to
create this confidence and create business
that has eretofore been lacking. The in
qulry for city property has improved
Country properties, especially small places,
are in demand more than they were. But
buying and selling are now done at prices
that have been existing for some time past,
and not at advanced prices.
1T would be well for owners who desire
to sell not to advance prices, because as
yet we are only enjoying hopeful condi-
ton brought about by the proposed build
ing and operating of the valley railway.
Ihls is nothing to form basis on for an
increase in business or an advance in
prices. Talk is one thing, but you must
see something tangible before you can
hope to change values. The first man to
be affected by talk is the owner Prospects
influence him, but prospects alone don't
make an actual increase in value. The ad-
vance can come only step by STEP The in
corporation of the railroad tomorrow will
help little. Commencing to build will
help more
when the competing road is in opera
ton and its effect is felt upon mercantile
business then it will be time to advance
prices of real estate.'

trace where the foot dragged to where the
body lay This evidence went to show
that Miss Ging's body was pushed out of
the buggy feet first instead of head first, as
Blixt testified.
George Grindall was an important wit
ness for the defense. He was standing on
First avenue north, between Fourth and
Fifth streets, at O'Clock or Whereabouts,
on December 8, the night of the murder.
Standing a short way from him was a
man like that man there" said the wit
ness, pointing to Attorney Sweetzer.
Grindall saw Miss Cling drive up.
The man he had seen waiting there en-
tered the buggy with her and they drove
away. The description given by Grindall
of the man who had joined her does not at
all fit Harry Hayward.
There was wordy quarrel between law
yers over Grindall's testimony, each side
intimating that the other was manufacture
ing evidence.
Julia E. Walker of st. Paul testified this
afternoon to having seen Miss Cling sew
eral times in st. Paul, with middle-aged
man who wore an. iron-gray mustache.
Several other witnesses were heard, but
nothing of importance was learned.

TO FIX TEE WATER RATES.
THE SUPERVISORS WILL BE AS
SISTED BY CITIZENS AND
TAXPAYERS.
MAYOR SUTRo MAY HAVE SOME
DRASTIC MEASURES TO
PRESENT.

When the Board of Supervisors meets at
3 o'clock this afternoon as committee OF
the whole to consider water rates for the
year beginning July 1 next the members
will be assisted in their deliberations by
as many citizens and water-rate payers as
can find standing or sitting room in the
chambers where the meetings of the
board are held.
Since it became matter of public news
that the Supervisors were about to fix
rates communications have been pouring
in on the members of the Water Com
mittee and members of the board in
general from all directions imploring
them to fix the rates at as low notch as
possible. Supervisor Taylor said yester-
day that he had received so many COM
munications that he found it impossible to
give half of them careful reading, and
the other members of the Water Commit
tee confessed to a like difficulty.
Though Mayor Sutro denies that he has
anything of moment to call to the atten-
ton of the board it was rumored about the
hall yesterday that he was preparing some
drastic measures to be presented to the
meeting.
He is know to favor compelling the water
company to give meter rates on the water
used in the public parks and squares and
also lower rates for householders. At the
last meeting of the board he called the at
tentlon of the members to the necessity of
basing their estimate of just rate on fair
appralsement of the company's property
leaving out large tracts of land on which
the valuation can only be speculative.

merchants Glad Ihat Ihey Are Pro-
hibited.
The members of the Merchants Associa-
ton are much pleased with the action of
the Street Committee of the Board of Su-
peryisors in refusing applicants permission
to hang advertising banners across the
public streets.
''The association has been trying for
some time, said President Dohrmann, "to
impress it upon the people that such de-
vices destroy the good appearance of the
streets. An order was passed by previous
board prohibiting the practice, but the
present body was prevailed upon to disre-
gard the ordinance in the case of the pure
food show. Our only reason for asking
to carry the ordinance out to the letter was
to improve the appearance of the streets.
'"The orders prohibiting the distribution
of handbills and using street-elevator
covers for advertising purposes were framed
for like purpose. Eastern cities do not
permit such things, and it is time San
Francisco caught up with the times and
wheeled into line"

AN IOWA BEAUTY,

Lizzie Taylor, Who Was Lately Ad-
judged Queen OF Beauty.
Miss Lizzie Katherine Taylor of AL
bia, Iowa, has been finishing her
musical education in Chicago. The
sweetness and charm of her manner
has just received unique recognition
from friends in her native state. At
the Iowa state fair, recently held at Des
Moines, Miss Taylor was awarded the
palm Of beauty among sixty COMPETE
tors. Many-indeed, most-of the
young women were entered in the con-
test without their knowledge, enthusi-
astic friends taking liberty which is
common in the Hawkeye state. The
contest was warm, though good-na-
tured, the friends of each candidate u.s.
ing all the usual means to win votes
for their favorite, but Miss Taylor was
declared the winner, many of the most
active adherents of other girls saying
after it was all over that the prize was
worthily awarded The successful can
didate is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry M. Taylor. While yet mere
child she gave evidence of possessing
much musical talent and her parents
determined that 1t should not be hidden
under bushel. Local instruction was

nal" This was a task of unexampled
delicacy, for Greville wrote about his
contemporaries without the least re-
serve, and was particularly candid in
his criticisms of the illustrious per-
sonages with whom, in his capacity Of
clerk of the privy council, he was
brought into close contact. 1t was I'M
derstood at the time that Mr.. Reeve de-
ferred to the Judgment of the queen
several important points connected with
the duplication of the Journal" but
it was also said that the work excited
a by no means favorable interest at the
court. 1t remains, however, one of the
most important contributions to our
social and political history. Mr.. Reeve
held the post of registrar to the privy
council till 1887. He was on terms of
close intimacy with some of the most
eminent men of letters in France, and
one of his last visits abroad was paid
to the Due d'Aumale at Chantilly. In
the domain of foreign politics he had a
wide experience, much appreciated by
more than one of our statesmen.
