ner of conducting the proposed colony,

ner of conducting the proposed colony,
said:
We shall have public ownership. In the
management OF our several small industries
we shall use the method of commercial associ-
alton modelled upon the California Fruit Ex-
change system. AS every colonist subscribes
to the common capital so all are joint owners
in these public and semi-public properties.
The government viii be that OF the New
England town meeting, our stockholders ex-
ercising the power OF direct legislation and
comforting administrative functions upon
their chosen servants.
But the sphere OF associated man is extended
also to the social organization OF the commuD-
ity. The colony capital provides for the pur-
chase and improvement OF the village center
and the purchaser of a 2O-acre farm receives
an acre lot In the village where he will make
his home among neighbors and close to
church, kindergar ten, schools, postoffce and
store. Thus we combine the advan tages of the
town with the independence won from the soil.
The social heart OF the community will be
Colonial Hall, which will be in the shape of
quadrangle inclosiug beautiful placita.
One side Of the placita will be little hall
seating about 500 people. This will be avail
able for meetings and entertainments. The
opposite side Will be the mems clubroom with
billiard apd pool tables and other accessories
essential to masculine comfort. The other two
rooms Will be devoted to the public library and
the women's clubroom, for Ashurst will recog-
nlze the new woman in all Its institutions.
Thus while we do many things in co-opera-
ton, we are really only shareholders under
while every colonist is absolutely his own man
in the sense that he Is independent on his own
property and receives the benefit OF his indivi-
dual skill and industry.

WILL NOT Be CONTEMPT.
The Petaluma Savings Bank
May Secure Its
Liens.
Another Phase of the White Divorce
Case Settled by the Supreme
Court.

Another one of the many frayed ends to
the White divorce suit has been clipped
off by the Supreme Court. The Petaluma
Savings Bank has been allowed to COM
mence proceedings to foreclose a lien it
has upon George Whites property.
Just after frankie White was granted a
divorce from George E. White she was al
lowed 5000 month alimony. the same to
be drawn from the community property if
sufficient and if not from Whites sepa-
rate property. 1t was afterward ascer-
tanned that there was no community prop
erty. This being the case Mrs. White was
allowed 100000 from Whites separate
property and receiver was appointed to
take charge of his effects until the money
was paid.
In the meantime the Petaluma Savings
Bank had acquired a second mortgage
against Whites property and they wanted
to bring foreclosure proceedings. But the
receiver in charge threatened to bring con-
tempt proceedings if such action was
taken, so the bank appealed to Judge Heb
bard for an order restraining the receiver
from interfering. The order was denied
and then the Supreme Court was asked
for writ OF mandate compelling Judge
Hebbard TO grant the order.
The Supreme Court denies the writ. but
does so in way which makes it victory
for the bank. The order, it says, should
have been granted. The bank was merely
taking steps to secure its lien and no con-
tempt proceedings could be had against it.
The receiver cannot by contempt pro-
ceedings prevent the bank from securing
its rights. 1t was contended that the
judgments under which the bank claimed
were fraudulent, and of this the Supreme
Court says:
If its judgments are fraudulent the receiver
is pursuing the proper course in suing to set
them aside, but it may be that he will not sue
ceed in establishing this fraud which he as

none other than James Gillis, pioneer
miner and miller. and latteriy president OF
the Union Transportation Company,
which runs a competing line of steamers
between this City and Stockton. AL
though in his sitxy ninth year, Mr.. Gillis is
vigorous and full of fire and fight. He is
well acquainted with the different parts OF
the State and is convinced that Stockton
Is the best locatio for the school.
He offers twenty acres OF the Ernest

tered neighborhOod, having excellent
water in plenty at hand. He guarantees
a perfect title to the land, which he values
at $500 an acre. The soil, he says, is ex-
vineyard, which has borne grapes for forty
years. The site is, moreover, directly on
the line OF the new Valley road, making it
extremely accessible.
Mr. ellis dropped into town yesterday
with his public-spirited offer, and was not
backward in putting on record his appre-
citation of Stockton.

Then want to get a school that will
set the idle loafers to work. There Is not
the strength in the young men that
there used to be. The soil and trades are
not good enough for them. They want to
be gentlemen-come to the city, wear
good clothes and have quill stuck be-
hind their ear. The Wilmerding school
will teach them something useful.
Last OF all, my wife got into some
charitable scheme and wants me to build
a home for aged people, and l thought l

Whether the city gets the school or not it
has a great future before it.
Mr.. Gillis has interests in several banks
and mills in Stockton and neighbOrhood
beside owning considerable real estate. He
built and ran the Union mill, making
$100 900 out of the venture. He was after

house. He came to California in 1S49

THE IDEAL UNIVERSITY
Lines of Expansion at Berkeley
for the Next Cen.
tury.
Buildings to Be Grouped in Harmony.
More Land Expected From the
Government.

Regents of the State University met yes
terday afternoon and discussed in a gen.
eral way proposition to adopt some fixed
plan for the future construction OF build
ings at Berkeley. The session was at
tended by Regents Wallace (presiding),
Houghton, Marye, Kellogg, Bartlett, Hal
Idle, Martin, Reinstein. Crocker, Chase
and Slack. Secretary Bonte and Attorney
Mhoon were also present.
Mr.. Reinstein introduced the subject of
adopting permanent plans for the ideal
university of the future, and incidentally
impaired the knowledge that he had writ
ten to many of the great architects of the
country and to many of the important col
leges of the land for suggestions. The re-
suit was the receipt of hundreds of letters
and the visit to this coast of great archi-
tects, who had come to survey the site and
give an idea of the scope of the work con-
templated.
He explained to the regents that it was
now time that something should be done
toward the adoption of grand permanent
scheme for the grouping OF the buildings
plan in harmony with the Importance
and dignity OF the institution. The lines
should be marked on which the growth of
a century should follow. He desired that
the topic should be fully discussed at a
special meeting. and contended that no
time should be lost in approaching the
consideration of the question. The next
Legislature would doubtless be called
upon TO appropriate money to erect per-
manent buildings at Berkeley.
George T. Marye fully coincided with
the views expressed by his collea rue, Mr..
Reinstein. The question was one that
transcended all other prODOsitlOOS al.
though it was not new. The university in
this proposed work should have the service
of the most capable architects and engi-
neers Of acknowledged eminence.
J. West Martin fully approved of the
sentiments expressed. He spoke of what

With which the rider starts
out on a STEARNS wheel is
not diminished by distance,
