Men, Women and Children, With
Forty Hounds, Are Feasting
on Venison.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 1S.-The annual
deer hunt on the Twas, under the direc-

more largely attended this year than ever
before. The party went into camp last
Saturday at the Gilroy dam, on the Twas,

has been no lack of venison. The camp
extends along the creek for quarter of a
m lie. They live as one large family, the
cooking being done in one place and din
ing at one large table. Camp will be
broken Sunday.

asked for the use of Jackson street if Pa
cific could not be secured. He pointed
out that two of the Oceanic Company s
steamers could he locked there and still
room be left for several river steamers.
He suggested that the Napa boats and
the Caroline be locked at Pacific and all
of Jackson given up to the Sacramento
River boats.
Chief Wharinger Root explained that
the Sacramento River boats had at the
present time almost the entire use OF
Jackson-street wharf.
After few moments thought President
Colnon said: Il think some concessions
must be made, Mr.. Spreckels. We will
provide accomm oda tons for your Aus.
tralian and Hawaiian steamers and your
tugs must remain at Howard street.
Then the Napa and other small river
boats can dock in the space that was de-
signed for the tugs. In order to protect

call on us and We must do all we can fol-

Mr.. Spreckels at once gave in and the
matter was settled. Then We are to have

Colnon, and the fruitmen were more than
pleased. 1t was also expressly stated that
Pacific street wharf had been built for the
fruit trade and as soon as Folsom-street
wharf was rebuilt and the Oceanic Steam
ship Company moved back there Pacific
street would be turned over to them.
The Commissioners next took up the
proposed changes in the new ferry build
ing. The first three were disposed of in
short order, as Chief Engineer Holmes
showed concIusively that the late A. Page
Brown had provided in his plans for all
the emergencies. In order to improve the
appearance of the building Architect
Swain wanted the pilasters left out. This
the commission did not consider neces.

asserted that the accommodation provided
at Jackson-street wharf was inadequate
for the handling of the Sacramento River
produce and one and all joined in plea
that Pacific-street wharf should be as
signed to them. John D. .Spreckels, on
behalf of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany, interposed an objection. He said
his vessels would require both sides of Pa.
cific-street wharf while the Folsom street
structure was being rebuilt. He was
offered the sole use of the Lombard-street
pier, but pointed out that ocean steamers
could not lie there for any length OF time
with safety.
The discussion was started by COM
munication signed by over forty fruit
dealers and commission merchants. In il
they stated that the present facilities were
totally inadequate for the handling of the
fruit and general produce that comes from

bring down daily over 500 tons and third
of it rots on the wharf because the wagons
cannot get down to handle it. Morning
after morning East street is blocked be-
cause there is so much fruit piled up on
the wharf that the teams cannot move
around and take it away. We handle the
fruit from five counties and over 300 ship
pers send their fruit to this marker on our
boats. Fully 100000 people are supplied
from Jackson-street wharf and there is not

the change in the steel brackets and iron
plates were also rejected. The proposed
changes would have cost an extra $1,000,
and as Mr.. Holmes showed that they
would not add to the stability of the
building they were one and all rejected.
At the same time Architect Swain was in
structed to prepare detail drawings for the
completion of the work as designed by A.
Page Brown.
The trouble over the misfit of the iron.
work OF the new depot has been traced to
its source, and 1t may seem strange to re-
late that in making a copy of Architect
Browns original plans for use of the Ris-
don Iron Works the copyist mistook the
numerical figure for figure and with
stroke of the pen practically moved the
big structure two feet beyond the limit
prescribed for it on the finished founda-
ton.
Superintendent of construction Robert
son and Chief Engineer Holmes have
worked over the plans for several days
and are now able to announce that the
depot building will not suffer damage
from the miscalculation.

Two Hundred Dollars. Worth of

Last Night.
The clothing shop of John Lynch,
3l2 Main street, was entered last
night by burglars and about $500
worth OF clothing distracted there
from. The clothing taken consisted
OF ten pairs OF pants, selling at IS
each; five vests worth $3.50 each,
and four 50 suits
An entrance was effected by means
of rear window, One-half of a large
pane OF glass having been deity re-
moved by means Of diamond. When
inside the work was easy, except to
raise hook by which an inner door
was fastened. This Was effected by
removal of catch and the introduce
ton of some thin implement by which
the hook was lifted from its staple
This method indicates that the thieves
had examined the premises and
planned the manner Of etiecting an
entrance.
Mr.. Lynch thinks that he has clue

same in possession of the authorities
to work mp. About half-past | | o'clock
Mr.. Dolan's dog, in the back yard OF
the adjoining premises, kept up so
vigorous a barking it excited COM
ment of the inmates of the saloon,
and it was probably at this time an
entrance was being effected.

A Rough Trip.

The steamer Aberdeen on her trip
Saturday afternoon, experienced the
heaviest weather known on the Sound
for many years. The trip was not
unattended with danger and it re-
quired all the experience and skill of
her captain to keep her afloat in the
"choppy" sea, during the hurricane
which blew. When the steamer
breasted Point Defiance the capital n
concluded that it would be madness
to attempt crossing over to Tacoma.
so he kept his bow in the winds eye
and continued on to the end of his
route, and after passing Alki Point, he
kept on to Port Blakely, eight miles
beyond Seattle, before shelter could be
reached that enabled the steamer to
put about with safety. When the
seas broke over the steamer ard
smashed windows, the scene in the
cabin became a thrilling one. Some
of the passengers were panic-stricken
others fell upon their knees in prayer
others we're sea.sick, and did not care
what happened. During this time the

The death of David j. Chambers,
ST., at his farm on Chambers Prairie,
about six miles from this city, leaves
another gap in the rapidly timing
ranks OF pioneer settlers. Although
not unexpected, the announcement
fell like shock upon community
where he was so we'll known.
Mr.. Chambers WAS born in Belfast,
Ireland, Jan. 90, 1920, and came to the
United States with his parents at the
age of ten. He resided for several
months with the family of President
Andrew Jackson, of whose farm in
Tennessee his father was supern.
tendent. The family moved to Indi-
aua, and later to Missouri, where
David, young man of %, welded
Miss Elizabeth Harrison, who is re-
lated to President Harrison. After
four years residence in Missouri, Mr..
Chambers father started for WASH
ington, accompanied by David. in 1915.
The trip across the plains was made
in wagons in company with train
large enough to prevent molestation
by Indians. In October, 1915, the
company reached The Dalles, Or. and
there stayed until the February follow
ing, when the trip down the Columbia
river was made by boat which the
party built with crude tools. Oregon
City was the next stopping place. 1t
was then merely trading post for the
Hudson Bay Company. After short
residence on Cowlitz prairie. the party
came to the Sound, and in 1913, settled
on the prairie which now bears his
name. Chambers prairie. A few
months ago he celebrated his golden
wedding anniversary.
The funeral took place on the farm
at IL A. Nj. to-day. and interment was
made in Odd Fellows cemetery at . p.
NJ. Although the weather was incle-
ment large assemblage was present
to testify their respect for the aged
pioneer.
