Wellesley Land and Improvement Com
pany, which owns tract of 1853 acres of
choice suburban residence property lust
north of Redwood City, known as Welles-
ley Park. Speaking of tbs boulevard Mr..
Sturtevant said:
I consider this project one of the best ever
industries through which it will pass. Our
people are heartily in favor of it and will do
everything in reason to further it. If neces-
sary they will donate TO the county right OF
way along our tract, or even through it.
1t should be, however, devoted entirely to
pleasure driving and riding, and all milk
wagons, scayenger-earts, cattle, etc., should be
San Francisco and the neighboring country
is remarkably lacking in fine drives. Suppose
you have friends from the East and desire to
take them for drive, you can only take them
out through the park and back, unless you
want to be made to blush for your city and
State; for If you take them out on what is
known as the San Jose road YOU encounter
such sights and travel over SO vile road
bed that the drive becomes anything but q
pleasure.
1t is nonsense to talk of making boulevard
of the present county road. The boulevard
should be one in its true sense--the same as
that which encircles Chicago 1t should not
only be free from the heavier kinds of wheeled
traffic, but precautions should be taken to pre-
vent any electric cable or other kind of rail
way securing franchise to run along it.
While the roadbed should be made and kept

through forests, ETC., and thus make the drive
the more picturesque and enjoyable.
Not only would the existence of the boule-
ward greatly enhance the value of property in
San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Francisco
counties, but it would bring the people of these
counties in closer and more friendly touch.
Every person to whom have spoken regard
ing the matter is enthusiastic over it, and the
great wonder now is that the matter had not
been agitated before. 1 have discussed the

attached to them, and the eight or ten men
took the line that worked through the
! tackle and walked away toward the bay.
A man-one man-worked a jackscrew that
had been fitted behind the gun, SO that its
timbers fretted and groaned a bit, and then
the big sixty-ton 36-foot gun began, very
slowly, of course, to follow the men with
the rope. The contract for moving the gun
is in the hands of L. Mcmahon & Son.
1t is expected that the work of getting
the gun aboard the barge will be completed
to-day, and then, with the high tide, tug
will tow her to Fort Point There the
monster will be put in the implacement of
the fort. 1t is expected that it will not get
to Fort Point before Saturday.

Holy Cross. Having once determined to
do thing-and society is always ready to
lend helping hand to an affair of church
or charity-they go ahead and put soul
into the work. They are generally success
full in anything they undertake.
The congregation of the Church of the
Holy Cross, on Eddy street near Devisa-
dero, has decided to erect a handsome
brick and stone edifce to cost between
$4,000 ana $50, 900. The church does not
owe cent and it owns the site on which
the present building stands. Plans have
been submitted for the new building,
though no choice has yet been made. The
style of architecture, Romanesque, has,
however. been agreed upon. Rev. Father
McGinty, the leading spirit in the Under
taxing, says that nearly enough money is
in hand to erect the building, and that
what is lacking will be subscribed by par
ishioners or raised by entertainments. The
young people of the congregation are
greatly interested in the work and have
succeeded in enLsting the services of sew
eral well-known society people.
The reztllt of their efforts IS that grand
PRODUCT of Julius Cesar will be given

the ablest amateurs in the city will take

have been seen before, and to advantage,

in their contention, is the snit brought by
Max Wasserman against Louis Sloss. The
trouble arose over the transfer of 400 shares
of the stock of the Alaska Commercial
Company by Max Wasserman to Louis
Sloss. The consideration was So, 900, or
$50 share.
WaSSerman, who was born in this
city, but has for years past made his home
in Paris, is here to fight for what he says
is the value of the stock transferred, which
he places at $4,000, less $4,000 paid to
him in the transfer.
He contends that the transfer was for the
purpose of organizing new company to
succeed to the business of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, while Sloss, he declares,
held the stock as having been sold out
right and enjoyed all the revenue which
came through it's possession, something
like $4,000 sued for.
incidentally it is mentioned by NJ. A.
Dorm that Stephen J Field, Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, is the holder OF
200 shares of the stock. This has not been
brought out in the evidence and nothing
has been developed to show how Justice
Field came into possession of the stock.
The case, which has been up several
| times, was called again IN Judge Troutt's
court yesterday morning. The leases OF
the company from the Russian and the
United States Government were placed in
evidence, and a deposition by Edward
| Wasserman of New York, brother of the
plaintiff, was read Wasserman claims
that the transfer of his stock to Sloss was
not sale, but was done for the purpose of
reorganizing the company, or the forma-
ton of a new corporation, previous to the
time when the Alaska Company was seek
ing to get renewal of the lease from the
| United States Government. The Alaska
| Company failed to secure the lease. as in
competitor, the North American Com.

can undoubtedly be obtained from the
