when 1 was selected by Lieutenant
Peary to accompany him on his trip to the
Arctic regions to try and find way to the
north pole" says James w. Davidson in
The Fourth Estate, sit was partly because
OF my strong, healthy constitution, and his
belief that | could endure the fatigue and
danger incident to the trip. L had been
associated with him as his business mana
ger on his lecturing tour, and was on terms
OF the greatest intimacy with him.
'When the ship Falcon left New York
on her trip northward it had among the
stores several cases of Paine's celery COM
pound. The reputation of that medicine
was well established, so that it was the
most natural thing in the world that the
members of the party, and they comprised
men from nearly every walk in life, from
common sailors to men of science, should
desire to use it.
1.-The record of our perilous trip to Camp
Anniversary is too well known to need
repetition. Once in camp we naturally
took an inventory of our possessions, and
was exceedingly glad to find Paine's Gel
cry compound. The medicine chest was
open to all, and we were free to take from
1t what we thought advisable. I, in COM
pany with several others, selected some of
the compound, taking bottle of it to nv
cabin, knowing that it would be handy
when wanted. Nor was mistaken. for the

REPRESENTATIVE JAMES H. MA
CURE WILL SPEAK AT THE
POST LECTURES.
RETURN OF THE CONGRESSMAN
FROM WASHINGTON = Posi-
WILL ARRIVE To-Day.

The return of Representative James G.
Mcguire from Washington yesterday morn
ing gave new inspiration to the single-tax
advocates, who are planning for revivals
in this city and Oakland. A large delega-
ton headed by Joseph Leggett and James
II. Barry, went over to the Sixteenth-street
station, Oakland, to greet the returning
Congressman and his wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcguire were somewhat fatigued by the
long journey across the continent, but
otherwise were well. They remained in
the city long enough for the Congressman
to visit his office in the Mills building and
look over his mail and went directly to
Santa Cruz, where the children have been
attending school.
Congressman Mcguire will return this
evening, and will deliver the Introductory
address at the single-tax meeting of
Louis f. Post, the national lecturer of the
Single-tax League of the United States, at
Oakland this evening. He will also per-
form like service at the meeting in Met
ropolitan Hall in this city on Monday
evening.
The subject of Mr.. POSTS lecture will be,

Basis of Public Revenues" Mr. Post will

knowledge or human nature and its rights and
the consequent appreciation of our hereditary

other branches in extent and vitality. We do
not at all exaggerate when we say the "Knowl-

excessive cold weather soon had its effects,
and L began to be troubled. in number of
ways In every case whenever l felt the
slightest indisposition I used the COM
pound and found relief.
Zone thing noticeable in the Arctic re-
gion was that the cold weather made us all
exceedingly nervous. We became irritable
and cross. Our nerves were all unstrung,
and naturally it affected our health. I
talked the matter over with some of the
others, and made up my mind that pos
slbly the celery compound would be bene-
fetal, for [ knew that it was used for
nervous disorders at home. Well, sir, we
tried it, and [ must say that it helped
every one of us.
"When the long night of six months
came on and we were in darkness we found
that the effects were very depressing.
Imagine, if you can, living for six months
in darkness such as occurs here every
night, and you can readily understand
how we were situated. 1t is a wonder that
some of US did not go mad We had not
very much to divert our attention, and the
effect was something like solitary confine-
ment in a dark cell.

for dozen ills such as person is liable to
have at any time, and especially in that
desolate country. 1t has always helped
me, and l should be pleased to have more

THE EXPERT HAD
ESCAPED His MIND.
SPRING VALLEY ATTORNEY
WHO FORGOT PREVIOUS
ARRANGEMENTS.
REALTY VALUES MIGHT RISE
ACCOUNTS ARE STILL IN CONFUSION
ON ACCOUNT OF THE
EXPLOSION.

Attorney Kellogg of the Spring Valley
Water Company appeared before the Fl
nance and Judiciary Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday to ask for
modification of certain demands made
by the board on the corporation. AT a
meeting held on the 18th inst. Supervisor
benjamin offered the following resolu-
tons:
ReSoloed, That the Spring Valley Water Works
De ana is hereby required to furnish q state
ment in writing to the board showing the dates
OF the purchase OF the property owned by the
SAID company, the amounts paid therefor and
When PAID, also the assessed value of the prop
erty and the taxes paid thereon.
Resolued, That the said statement must en-
brace the date OF the purchase of each piece of
property and the date or dates of each payment
made therefor and amount of each such pay
ment, also to report the date of and the amount
OF each dividend paid.
ResOIUcd That the object of this board is to
ascertain the property purchased and it's ma
cessity for the purposes of the company in sup
plying water to this city and county and to en-
able the board to fix just and equitable water
rates.
In the discussion preceding the vote on
the measure Supervisor BENJAMIN said
that inasmuch as the corporation asked
for water rates based on the valuation of
their property it was only fair that the
company show the board the exact status
OF Its belongings and give more satisfactory
evidence OF the correctness of the evidence
than the. mere unsupported word of an
employe that the company owned such
and such property of such and such value.
Attorney Kellogg was present at the
time the resolution was offered on the
18th inst, and at that time pro-
fessed to be perfectly willing, for his en-
ployers, to agree that the demands of the
measure should be carried out. He also
expressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with a resolution offered by Supervisor
Taylor that anexpert, to be appointed by
the board, should lie permitted to look
over the books Of the company
Yesterday he seemed to have expe-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-23

rlenced change of heart, for he objected
strenuously to the provision requiring
facts and figures regarding the realty hold
lngs OF the company, and made excuses
when asked whether the corporation was
ready to have an expert examine it's ac-
counts at the Offices.
1--WE have been thinking this matter
over" he said, "and have come to the
conclusion that it would not be to our in
terest to give you detailed list of the real
property owned by the water company
Not that we have anything to fear from
your examination of such document, but
because we do not want other people to
know of its contents. OF course it would
be open to the public after it had passed
into your hands and our interests might
be prejudiced."
In what manner" asked Mr.. Ben
jamin.
"Wel you see," answered the attorney,
I'VE have great many parcels of land that
do not stand in the name of the corpora
ton. We buy them through and in the
names of private parties, and are thus able
to get good bargains. In many instances
people would place their price at point
out of all reason if they knew that the
Spring Valley Water Company wanted to
purchase their property, and it is this that
We avoid by holding our property through
other persons. Then we have half an acre
here and a couple of acres there, and five
acres close by that we may want some day
to unite in a reservoir site by buying inter-
mediate pieces. We don't want land owners
to find that we own these parcels, for fear
that they will raise their prices to extor-
tionate figures when we want their real
estate"
''But don't see how we are to arrive at
any satisfactory understanding of the value
of the Spring Valleys holdings unless YOU
furnish us the figures we ask" said Super
visor Benjamin.
s'Well, we can furnish you with list of
the lands" SAID the attorney, "leaving out
some that we want kept in the dark"
The members of the committee looked
dubious at this offer, and the attorney
fastened to add, "And then, of course, If
there was any particular piece you wanted
to know about we could tell YOU"
81 am not sure that that would be salts
factory said Supervisor Benjamin; '.but
then we have provided for an expert and
he could get whatever facts or figures we
want. By the way, Mr.. Kellogg, when
will you be ready to let that expert look
into your books2'
Expert What expert?'' said the at
torney.
..Why the one we provided for by reso-
luton at the time we required you to bring
us statement of your real estate hold
ings;n
'Why, don't remember that" said Mr..
Kellogg.
"Well, we did so just the same" replied
Supervisor Taylor. ''He was to have free
access to your books and accounts, so as to
give us clear idea of your income, ex-
penditures and other pertinent matters
well, you see we are all in a turmoil
just-at present." said Mr.. Kellogg. 1--WE
had an explosion in the cellar some time
ago and everything is in confusion.
don't see what advantage there would be
in an expert going through our accounts
| under such conditions
"How long will it be before you will be
ready for our MANI" asked Mr. Taylor
| "Oh, don't know" answered the attor-

and samples of the few things they wear
down there. Among these is a feather
cloak said to be quite as intricate work
as the million-dollar cloak made by civil
lied hands and exhibited at Chicago as
such wonder as to be valued at million
dollars
Then there is another collection that
will probably attract little attention until
1t is fully understood, but which, | think,
IS extremely interesting. 1t is several
strings OF what are called Babylonian
cylinders. They are cylindrical bits Of
stone OF different colors and qualities, upon
which the magnates of Babylon had
carved their signatures, figures of them
selves and members of their family and
whatnot in miniature. They were used as
the coat of arms as signature and seal are
used to-day
1.-THE contracts, transfers and such i'm
portant documents of those days were
traced in plates of soft clay or cement, and
on the bottom the parties to the contract
rolled these cylinders, leaving the figures
upon them indented in the clay. The clay
was then thrust in an oven and baked until
the inscription upon it remained fixed in
stone. These little cylinders, recovered
from recent excavations. secured from the
men in New 1ork-indeed, | had to make
a trip TO Newark to get them-who made
the excavations, and [ do not believe that
any other museum has such collection
Now this is not even an outline of the
collection by any means, but simply a
mention of some of the more notable
features. / will only add that our fund
has not been all expended either, but a
considerable surplus remains for further
purchases. How much l connot say, for
the work out there is scarcely complete,
and the bills are not in. However, there
is every reason for the executive commit
tee, believe, to congratulate itself on the
end of its labors. The city has at least a
good beginning for museum"
