its synagogue site on Mason street, near
Geary, and the structure thereon to the
Native Sons of the Golden West Hall
Association, where the latter is now
putting up handsome structure. Since
then services have been held in Golden
Gate Hall, but measures were set on foot
at once to secure another site further up
town. Nothing suitable, however, offered
until week or two ago, when a lot was
purchased on the south side of Bush
6Ox137 g feet. 1t was bought from James
P. Healy, j. 81. and Margaret E. Gallivan
for $11, 500.
Work on the synagogue will be begun on
Monday, the contract having already been
let for the excavating and foundation
work: 1t is estimated that the cost of the
temple will be about $4,000. Plans have
been completed for some time, and from
now on the work will be pushed with all
possible speed. While it is not expected
to have it finished in time for the approach
ing holidays, it will be in such condition
as to allow of services being held therein.
There are now sufficient funds on hand to
defray much the larger part of the cost of
the site and of the building, $1,000 having
been subscribed within the past few
months by private individuals, while con-
siderable additions have been made to the
treasury through the efforts of the auxil-
iary ASSOCIATION OF the congregation,
which has turned over the revenues de-
rived from the various entertainments
given under its auspices. In order, how
ever, that there may be no lack of funds on
hand, application has been made to the
Superior Court for permission to mortgage
the newly purchased site to the Hibsrnia
Bank for $4,000.
The structure will cover an area of 60x12O
feet and the front will be of stone and
hrInk and the rnof nf fi1o he do
walk to the top of the spires the distance
will be 100 feet. The auditorium with a
gallery will have seating capacity of 800.
Above and to the rear of the pulpit will be
the choir and organ loft, instead of op-
posite the pulpit as was the case in the
old synagogue. On the main floor, off the
lobby, will be classroom with seating
capacity of 100, the secretary's room and a
ladies' parlor. On one side of the pulpit
will be the rabbits study and on the other
the cantors room. There will be stair
case on each side of the lobby leading to
the gallery.
In the front of the edifice and on
level with the gallery will be an auxiliary
hall with capacity for an audience of $50
people. This will be used by the auxiliary
association of the congregation for holding
its entertainments. 1t is provided with a
stage, dressing room, parlors and all the
necessary appurtenances for giving dra-
matte performances.
Cathedral glass will be used for the win
dows and the main auditorium will have q
groined ceiling.

BERKELEY.

The Berkeley Electric Railway Company
has commenced the construction of an
electric road to extend from the lower limit
of West Berkeley to College avenue, near
the eastern line of the town.
Cars have already been ordered and are
now under course of construction, and
when the line is completed it is expected
that the trip from the center of town to

The company is arranging for system
OF transfers to the lines operated by the
Oakland Consolidated Company and the
Teiegraph-ayenue line, which if successful
will admit of West Berkeley people reach
ing Oakland and San Francisco in much
shorter time than heretofore.

Louis Meyer Sunk a Small Fortune in

Years.

Louis Meyer, proprietor OF Meyers din

been forced into insolvency. He at
tributes his misfortune to the wide

Gently developed in his line Of business in
his immediate neighborhood. He estimates
his liabilities at about $4,000, while his
assets consist of the fixtures and goodwill
OF his place of business. This was fitted no
about two years ago at an expense Of about
$l1, 600. The business began to fall short of
returning expenses about eight months
ago. Within the past seven months Mr..
Meyer has mortgaged his property in Ala
media, and the money thus realized with
other sums borrowed, aggregating $4,000,
has been used in the business in the vain
hope that he would be able to weather the
storm.
Last Saturday F. Uri & Co., whole
sale butchers, levied an attachment
for $500, though the amount due them was
about $4,000. This led to other attach
ments, which now aggregate about $1,000.
Among the other principal creditors are:

ALAMEDA.

The recently purchased arc-light plant
was put to a severe test Wednesday night
and yesterday morning, and to all accounts
it stood it well. The test was continuous
one of fourteen hours under the operation
of the expert of the company. 1t was adj
mitted that there was no flashing, con-
corning which there has been so much
criticism. When the plant was first in
stalled carbons of half an inch diameter
were used. During the past week carbons
with diameter of five eighths of an inch
were substituted, new commutators and
brushes were put in, and since then the
! lights have shown remarkable improve
ment.

The Alameda Savings Bank and the
Bank of Alameda will succeed to the bust
ness of the Encinal Savings Bank and

two institutions go out of business on the

will remove the two big vaults to their

Robbed q Restaurant.
The latest crime by the housebreakers
was the robbing of the restaurant at the
Trestie Glen picnic grounds. Some time
during Wednesday night the thieves broke
in one of the doors of the structure and
carried off almost everything in sight.
All the tableware and linen, quantity
of liquors and other articles were taken,
and from the bulk of the plunder it is be-
heved that the robbers must have had

Detectives Shorey and Williams are
working on the case, but as yet no trace OF
the thieves has been discovered.

California Mineral Lands.


A list of railroad lands, comprising areas
in Southern Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia, has gone for patents as far as the
Oregon lands are concerned, but for the
present the California lands are withheld.
This shows that the Land Office, or the
Interior Department, is mindful of the
visit and inquiry of President Cleveland
after his recent interview with Mr.. Rick
etts, who called on him in behalf of the
California Miners Association. 1t is evil
dent that the patents to California lands
as yet unclassifed as to their mineral char
acter will not be SO readily obtained by
the railroad company in the future. The
influence of the California Miners Asso-
citation is being felt in Washington, as it is
seen that the miners are in earnest fight
ing for their rights. The Government
never intended to give the railroads any
mineral in their grants, as such lands
were expressly excepted from the grants.
But they take them, mineral or no mineral
unless there is contest. The California
Miners Association wants the lands to be
classified before passing to patents, as
they should be in all justice, and the rail-
road company is rushing through its lists,
for fear that such classification will take
place. A clear statement of the miners
side of the case was left in writing with
the President by Mr.. Ricketts, and the ex-
ecutive has promised if he is convinced OF
the Justice of the miners side to take
such steps as will prevent the, further
patenting of mineral lands by railroads in
California. tits good sign that the Cali
fornia lands in the instance cited were
omitted, as it is evident the matter is
being more carefully looked into than
formerly.
