THE WATER WAR.
Significant Result of a Recent Private
.-. Meeting.

Significant Result of Recent Private
Meeting.
The bitter rivalry that has existed be-
tween the Contra Costa and the new Din
gee water companies has caused such q
large decrease in their respective incomes
that each is seeking a method by which
the competition can be terminated. Some
time ago a private meeting was held be-
tween the City Council and President
Dingee of the new company. The propo-
sition made at that time has Just leaked
out. 1t was that the city lease the works
for six years and pay the company per
cent on its investment. The matter was
referred to the proper committee and re-
port has not yet been made. The COM
mittee is also considering the advisability
of the city owning its own water plant
The question now is, will it be more profit
able for either company to sell out to the
city or to sell out to each other
1t is known that in numerous instances
water has been supplied to houses at far
less than the rates fixed by the Council, in
districts where both companies have
mains. This cutting of rates has pro-
ceeded.so far that there are cases where
the rate is less than one-third of what il
drawing from its Alvarado plant last win
ter. While the presidents of both compa-
MES assert that there is no transaction
afoot looking to a consolidation or a mu-
tual restoration of rates, the fact that their
public hostility to each other, through the
county press, has suddenly ceased, is re-
garded as proof that a glad-hand period is
desired. The special Council committee
on water consists of Messrs. Towle, Dow
and Manuel, and as some are now on a
vacation and others are going shortly a
report will not be presented for several
weeks.

THE GREAT WATERFRONT CASE.
Judge Ogden's Decision Will Be Made
Public To-Day.

1O-Ody.
The decision in the case of the city of
Oakland against the Waterfront Com
pany will be rendered by Judge Ogden to-
day. Upon this decision depends the ap-
peal that will most certainly be taken to
the United States Supreme Court.
The suit in another form was recently
passed upon by the highest tribunal,
which declared that as the Supreme Court
was not court of original jurisdiction it
could only decide the case on appeal. This
appeal viii be taken by the losing party in
the decision TO be rendered to-day.
Judge Ogden has given two weeks of his
vacation TO prepare the opinion, which
will be very exhaustive one. The trial
was begun May %, 1894, and continued
from time to time. Evidence was con-
cluded on November q, and arguments
ing last three weeks were commenced on
February 8. The entire history Of the water
front from its transfer to Carpenter and
his associates, with deeds, maps and tax
receipts, is included in the record, which
is the oulklest ever made up in this county.

McGILLIVRAY BROS.

urday night: "Mr. Pickett and hislson
went up stairs at II o'clock or shortly
after, while moving about in the room
the lamp exploded, setting the building
on fire, He fastened down stairs with
his boy, but suddenly returned to get a
trunk which contained valuable papers.
He was overcome with the smoke and
heat, however, and fell to the floor, not
again regaining strength enough to save
himself. The building burned down in
side Of twenty minutes, and nothing but
his bones were found in the ashes. Mr..
Pickett was an industrious farmer com
fortably situated, leaves a wife and
daughter TO mourn the loss. He had an
insurance of $1,000 on his life in the Odd
Fellows association"
The weather crop bulletin OF the
South Dakota weather service for the
week ending August 26, with reports
from 4S counties, says: The rainfall
during the week was much below the
normal for the state and occurred prin-
cipally in widely scattered showers,
mostly light, and covering limited areas,
but in some localities in a few south and
southeast counties the rain was fairly
heavy. The principal rains occurred
the night of Wednesday, 21st inst. and
on the 22d. The temperature was much
above the normal for the state and the
days were generally warm but the lights
were mostly cool. On the 2lst the max
imum temperature ranged from 80 to
LOG degrees in the shade, with high
southerly and drying winds over most OF
the state. There vas more than the
usual amount OF sunshine and sew
eral days the direct rays Of
the sun were excessively warm.
Where the showers occurred improve
ment is noted in crops and pastures but
over most of the state the warm, dry
weather and drying winds were unfavor-
able, especially to late corn and potatoes,
although a few localities not favored
with the rains report rapid growth and
advancement in these crops, especially
in the northeast counties. Some local
damage to crops from hail is reported
but not Of a general nature, Heavy gen.
eral rains are needed as IN most localities
the soil is getting very dry. Small grain
harvest is completed and threshing is
general. Early corn is maturing rapidly
in the southern counties. Flax
harvest is far advanced. There
is some report Of the high
winds Smelling ripe fax. In the southern
counties most OF the haying is finished
and this work is progressing elsewhere.
Some fall blowing has been done but
more rain is needed for this work.

Condition of Trade.

Indications of improvement in bust
ness grow more distinct. The most
obstructive of them, the speculative
advance in cotton and in stocks, is the
least reliable, nor can either of these be
said to reflect actual improvement in
business conditions. Railroad earnings
are scarcely better, and the speculation
is largely based on expectation of more
effective monopoly in coal and some
other products. London was buying
largely, but is as likely to sell on any
rise. Cotton does not rise because there
is more demand for goods, but there is
more demand for goods because cotton
is dearer. More valuable indications
are hat the volume of domestic trade
gains a little, money is in much better
legitimate demand, and the force of
hands at. work gradually increases in
some industries, and in others is
restricted only by strikes, which are
presumably temporary. The threaten
ed strike of coke workers has been
avoided by an advance of Is per cent.
IN wages, and the strike in building
trades here has ended, the men return
ing to work.-Dun's Review.
