A STRONG MAN DIES.

AS there have been few men who dis
played the energy which characterized the
conduct of Isaac NJ. Hecht in assisting to-
ward the creation of all the greatness
which San Francisco possesses, so his death
is a loss to the City, Since 1857. when he
arrived here poor young man, till the day
of his death he was controlled by that ar
dent admiration of California and his I'M
derstanding of its matchless wealth of
resources that are essential to the making
of useful citizen and splendid common
wealth.
The life of the Hecht family illustrates
in its brightest colors a striking phase of
Jewish conduct so often observable. This
is the intimate bond of affection and CO.
operation existing among the members of
the family. There were five sons in this
case. Isaac. as the eldest, came to Califor-
MIA, and when he saw that the future was
assured he sent for his four brothers and
associated them with him in the various
large enterprises in which he engaged, the
popularity of the relation being that al
though they all accumulated large wealth
they never separated their interests. The
student of human nature may find in this
trait of the Jewish race both an example
to all men and an explanation of much of
the remarkable success that generally at
tends their business ventures. To bring
into the world and rear a large family is a
principle dear to the Jewish heart, and is
rounded into beautiful perfection by an
unfailing strength of affection, sympathy
and mutual support among its members,
and finds its noblest expression in tender
solicitude for the comfort and happiness of
aged parents.

THE CALLS" QUERY DEPART
MBNT.

Few people realize the amount of labor
and expense devoted by THE CALL to the
answering of questions propounded by
subscribers and correspondents. Many
inquiries involve the searching of records
running back for years or the going over
of old newspaper files yellowed by time
and dust. Yet THE CALL is pleased to
accommodate its readers to the fullest
extent. That these efforts are appreciated
is shown by the following letter that was
recently received at this office:
To the Editor of The Cau-sIR: OF the many
inquiries sent out in search of long missing
relative covering period of several years, the
query editor of The CALL was the first to fur
nish the desired Information, and that within
a fortnight after the inquiry was mailed. L
give my thanks to the editor for his kindness
and TO all who contributed informatio The
name and address given by him were investi-
gated and proved to be those of the person
sought. This promptness is all the more re-
markable when it is rememb ered that the in
quiry contained the information that said
relative had been the object of search for many
years lover quarter of a century,, and photo
of her had travelled over II 900 miles in fruit
less attempt at discovery. Respectfully,
J. n. THOMPSON.
Kern City, Cal, Aug. II, 1895.
Another instance where important in
formation was desired occurred last
Wednesday. A gentleman who was inter
ested in certain litigation desired to learn
the date of the wreck of vessel, and
made application to THE CALL for the data
needed. On Thursday morning all the
facts were published on this page.
The query department has grown to such
an extent that it is no longer convenient
to publish the answers all on Sundays, as
was formerly the custom. Another plan
has therefore been adopted. The replies
to questions are gwen from day to day, as
inquirers are never kept waiting more than
a week for the information that they desire

THE ALVIs0 CHANNEL.

The San Jose Board of Trade has given
another evidence of its superior enterprise
by determining to increase the facilities OF
the Alviso Channel for traffic between
Santa Clara County and San Francieco.
1t has inspected the channel and found
that the waterway can be made of great
value. Secretary Fay gives the surprising
information that inadequate as is the
channel in its present condition it saved
San Jose merchants sol 900 in 1894 in the
shape of reductions which the competition
that it offered forced the Southern Pacific
to make. This was in spite of the fact
that the merchants had to haul their
wares by wagon seven miles between
Alviso and San Jose before being able to
enjoy the benefits of bay competition. As
an electric freight and passenger road has
been projected to run from San Jose to
Alviso it will greatly reduce the cost OF
transportation and add correSpondingly to
the prosperity of the Santa Clara Valley.
This is the largest and richest of all the
coast valleys, and besides containing
dense population and handling a heavy
traffic in merchandise it has an enormous
tonnage of soil products. With the excep-
ton of the very limited and inadequate
competition found at Alviso the Southern
Pacific has complete monopoly of all this
business.
1t is estimated that it will require only
$50, 900 to put Alviso Channel in perfect
condition to accommodate the traffic. 1t
is three miles long, running from San
Francisco Bay to the town of Alviso, which
was the embarcadero for the entire Santa
Clara Valley and the contiguous region
before the railroad was built. 1t has been
a highway for more than half century
and its value has been great. The San
Jose Board of Trade proposes to seek Gov
eminent aid. Surely the Government
cannot imagine reason for Withholding
it. This channel, in connection with the
bay, is fully as important to the rich
Santa Clara region as are the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers to their respective
territories, and it is amazing that the ad-
vantages which it offers have never before
been strenuously insisted upon.
The prospect which this proposition pre-
sents is exceedingly bright for the splen-
did section of which San Jose is the
metropolis. With so active, earnest and
intelligent body of men as the San Jose
Board of Trade to urge onward the devel
opment of the region we may be confident
that the highest expectations will be
roalizad

AROUND THE coRR1pons.

George h. Appel manager at Sacramento of
the California Fruit Transportation Company,
which has been shipping fruit to England, was
in town yesterday ana spoke of the cable re-
ports in yesterdays CALL of the sale of the last
shipment in London the day before "While
some OF the fruit arrived in ripe condition, :"
he said, "as will be the case in such
a large consignment, the average price for
Beurre Hardy pears was i2s per box and 9s to
lis per half-box, and for peaches from IS to
5s Cd. When the rate of So per hundred
pounds is computed it will show for these sales
as good or better net results than is being re-
ceived in the domestic markets. w. N. White
d Co., the consignees, and the largest receiv
ers IN London, advise that for the balance of
the season the trade should be good until
Christmas for choice varieties of fall pears and
peaches. Eight special train loads of fruit have
been forwarded from California to London so
far this season. Another will be forwarded
next Monday, and these shipments will be
continued weekly right through the season as
long as we can get desirable varieties of pears
and peaches We shall make success of this
venture to open the English market. This
means utilizing CALIFORNIA; surplus supply of
fruit, thereby relieving the domestic markets,
doing away with gluts, and keeping up prices
and encouraging an extended acreage
B. Ribbentrop, Inspector-Gcneral of Forests
OF India, came in on the Monowai yesterday.
Speaking at the Occidental last night OF the
preservation of forests in India he said: at is
now nineteen years since the first legislation
looking toward the preservation of forests
They had been, particularly in the rainless dis
tricts, devastated SO much that the timber supply
had fallen short. Now we have between
$4,000 and $1,000 square miles of forests un-
der control of the Government The supply of
timber is abundant and the Government re-
ceives an income of about 20 lakhs of rupees
per annum. Each lakh is about 10000 in
silver"
Mr.. Ribbentrop Is away on an eighteen
months leave of absence. He has spent some
time in examining the forests of Australia and
will remain in California month or more for
the same purpose. He is accompanied by his
family.
Clifford Halle, son of Sir Charles Halle the
great musical director of Manchester, England,
is in the city. Sir Charles Halle has made
Manchester the leading musical center OF Eng
land, and was knfghted lately by the Queen for
his services in behalf of his art. Clifford Halle
went to South Africa five years ago with
Remenyi and remained there under the patron
age of the High Commissioner, Sir Henry Lock,
and Lady Lock. From there he went 70 India
and gave two seasons of concert in summer at
Simla and three in winter at Calcutta. He is
now on his way home.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT,

Olga Nethersole will make her first appear
ance as the heroine of Denise in the Grand
Theater, Islington. The French version is fol-
lowed closely.
At her recent residence at Windsor the Queen
displayed her extreme fondness for out-of-doors
air by driving every morning when it was fine
down to Frogmore, where she spent several
hours in tent, giving directions there about
her letters and dispatches.
The first man in England must be justly
proud of his fourth son, the Right Hon.
Herbert John Gladstone, MP. He is gradu-
ate from Oxford in 1879, with the AN de-
gree, and Immediately plunged into politics,
where he has gradually climbed until he be-
came the First Commissioner of Works under
Lord Rosebery's administration.
