OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRGEc1sco CALL,


9O8 Broadway, Aug. 25.
There is as much interest being shown
IN the change of ownership in the Times
as in municipal campaign. The mere
fact that paper that has sunk over $50, 600
in five years should revert TO the banks
which have owned it for long time is not
vely remarkable, but the position of Mr.
Dingee, the president of the Oakland
Water Company, who has been abused
by ex-Editor High, invests to-morrow's s
trial with marked interest.
But neither Mr.. Dingee nor Mr.. High
is the central figure in the trial, which
will surely be sensational one. Develop
ments have shown that Mr.. High never
really owned the paper, and the purpose
OF Mr.. Dingee will be to show that Mr..
High is only partially liable for the
articles to which Mr.. Dingee objects.
The methods of the capitalists Of Oak
land are about as generally interesting as
those of politicians, and when they fall
out there is likely to be as much
uneasiness.
"It was reported that Mr.. Dingee had
bought the Times so as to close me up"
said Mr.. High tonight, "but that is not
true. threw it up because it was not a
financial success, the same as 1 would
throw up any other venture that was not
paying. l hear that Mr.. Dingee has en-
ployed General Barnes and w. w. Foote
to assist in the prosecution, but l do not
think they will do me much harm 1t
was not fear of Mr.. Dingee that had any,
thing to do with my giving up the paper.

but would never have abandoned my

not propose to continue publishing for the
sake of proving that the stand 1 mad taken
was the right one when 1 made up my
mind to quit"
The case that will be called in the Police
Court tomorrow is that wherein Mr.
High is charged with libel regarding an
auction sale held by Mr.. Dingee. Owing
to the publicity given to the matter there

ALLIANCE, ATTENTION.
Don't get lost in the shuttle. The following
facts should be committed to memory:
First-The Alliance special pulls out OF the
Oakland mole at z P N. sharp, Friday, August
2s If you come from the City this necessi-
tates taking not later than the 6 80 boat.

chances are it will resolve itself into First
come, first served" so come early.
The special is due at Los Angeles at S:15
Saturday morning.
Fourth-Returning, the Alliance is due in
Oakland Monday in time to catch the S:15
A. NJ. boat to San Francisco.
Fiftn-The round trip, including sleeper,
costs you but So. Your meals, ETC., are extra,

your Aotal expenditures Qncluding fare) can
be kept below 80
Sixth-Tickets can be, purchased from any
member of the board, but must be signed at
time of purchase.
Seyenth-Tickets must be purchased in ad-
vance and not later than Wednesday evening
fdrill night, as there will be no time for
ticket-seliing at the train-so bring So with
you that evening.
Eighth-Rumors have come to the board to
the effect that outsiders will appear in the
uniforms of some of our members. We dis
credit the rumors as unworthy of any men,
Der of the Republican Alliance, but we wish it
most distinctly understood, both as matter
of principle and in justice to our contributing
mem bers, that none but actual members will
be permitted to accompany US on the train.
Every precaution has been taken, and any in
truders viii simply be elected from the train.
Ninth-Should you by any chance be unable
to connect with the train at the mole make q
break for Sixteenth-street depot The train
will stop there; but we advise you to show UP
promptly at the mole.

sadly defective. If you know of any fellow
member VINO does not receive his notices,
please send his address at once to DR.. II. p.
Carlton, Crocker building, San Francisco, or to

Farm Notes.

"In these slack times do not wait for
something to turn up. but clear and
drain that swampy place for hay, and
clear that old pasture piece. 1t will
come in just the right time to pay well.
Forty years experience has proved it to
be true. Never mind that smart little
mare or good stepping horse. Farmers
never get the big prices they expect in
that business. Put more elbow grease
and good calculations in your business
and let some jockey run the horse bust
ness"
We find this in an exchange. 1t was
written by correspondent whose
name we don't know. but he evidently
has a good share of common sense and
experience in successful farming.

Lessons Of the SiIo.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman has had eight years experience
with the silo and writes that each
year teaches new lesson or confirms
some already learned, and adds: 1.-The
special experience of this year con-
firms the economy of the silo as a
means of preserving corn fodder"
THE experience of the year has also
confirmed another lesson. When the
silo was filled, the corn was very dry.
Seed was saved from it in good condi-
ton, and the leaves were as dry as hay.
Had taken advice, l would have wet
the corn as it was filled into the silo;
but 1 believed there was sufficient
moisture left in the stalks to produce
heat enough to prevent moulding. and
/ was right. Sweeter ensilage / have
never had"
lone other lesson this years expert
ence confirms. That is in regard to
covering. l have covered in several
ways heretofore. l have covered with
boards and weighted; l have covered
with tons Of sand, and I have left the
corn entirely uncovered. In either
case I have found about the same
quantity of spoiled ensilage on top.
Leaving the silo uncovered therefore is
a saving Of labor. Last fall I raked up
the loose leaves and dirt that Uttered
the ground about the cutter and put
that on top. This moulded, and the en-
silage underneath rotted for only about
half an inch. / imagine that COW
ering of cut straw would save much
ensilage, if one had the straw, but here
straw. meadow hay and like coarse
material is worth more than corn.
Il may add to this that I still find
my single boarded silo as sound as
ever, and the ensilage well kept"
