SEIZED FOUR COWS.
Milk Inspector Dockery Makes Haul
of Bovines on the San Bruno
Marshes.

Between Milk Inspector Dockery and the
Poundmaster the milk rancEers who per-
nit their cows to roam and feed in the
slime and mud of the San Bruno marshes
are having hard time of it. They have
been warned repeatedly to keep their cows
off the marsh. and now the officials have
begun to make seizures of any uncleanIy
animals they find.
Inspector Dockery had lively chase for
few hours yesterday, that resulted in
four cows, belonging to p. McDermott.

The health officials saw the bovines
wandering abont the marsh and set all sail
in pursuit. After much trouble he herdcd
them into corral and went to the nearest
telephone to notify the Poundmaster that
his services were needed. While his

At the Aloazar.

An innovation has been introduced at the
Alcazar which has thus far proven very sue
cessful as an attraction, though, to be sure, it
is only two days old. On Sunday afternoon the
first performan of the continuous show"
was given, and has since run day and night to
large and appreciative houses. The prices for
admission range from 10 to 25 cents, and
matinees are given daily.
This weeks bill is high-class vaudeville
performance, and many of the numbers are
well worth seeing. Miss Josephine Gassman
in her serio-comic song specialties is as deserv-
edly a fayorite as ever. In the farcica, sketch,
"My Wife's Husbands" she divided the ap-
plause with Leonard Grover, both being ap-
plauded to the echo.
Messrs. StarKey and Rathbun, on the triple

feats which called forth many expressions of
wonder and delight, particularly from the
younger portion OF the house. The other num-
bers on the programme were well chosen and
effective. while the orchestral interludes en-
braced several classic compositions which were
admirably rendered.

two officials and confiscated.
McDermott will be arrested to-day under
the section of the new milk ordinance that

Inspector Dockery announced yesterday
that he would soon begin making arrests

sell milk as provided by the ordinance.

hotel-keepers have complied with the law
there are yet several hundred who have

BIC IRR|GAT|NG SCHEME.
Frank Adams to Construct a
Canal in Shasta and
Tehama.
1t Will Be Forty Miles Long and
Water a Vast and Rich
Area.

Frank Adams of 1911 McAllister street
is at the head of scheme looking to the
irrigation of thousands of acres of land in
Shasta and Tehama counties, adjacent to
the great waterway of the central and
northern part of the State. the Sacramento
River.
The proposition is to take water from the
river at some point near Cottonwood,
Shasta County, and, by means of a
canal tbirty-fve or forty miles in length,
distri butte it over an area of several thou
sand square acres.
Mr.. Adams is not a capitalist himself
and owns but few hundred acres in the
district intended to be incorporated with
in the irrlgating limits.
C. S. Capp of c. S. Capp & Co., real
estate brokers. Ais Montgomery street
who owns several hundred acres near the
land of Mr.. Adams, but over the line In
Tehama County, said yesterday: "The
construction OF such canal as that pro-
posed by Mr.. Adams would prove great
boon to that part Of the State. AS every
enc who has any knowledge of the
topography and climatic conditions OF
that part of the State knows full well
thousands of dollars are lost every year
for lack of water AS in the San joaquin
there is only about one good crop out of
every four.
II am not speaking from the view point
of an interested person as my land is out

fitted by the proposed irrigating canal.
To be sure would be benefited indirectly
by the enhancing of the land values natur-
aily to follow on the heels Of an enterprise
OF the kind. Therefore | can speak with
out prejudice or predispositlon OF the prac-
ticabiIity of the scheme. Mr.. Adams
plan is good. He does not expect to get
rich from the enterprise. There is not
enough land in his possession to warrant
such an inference.
sHe proposes that during the dull sea-
son of the year the landowners of the dis
trict to be benefited by the canal furnish
given number of miles of the canal, and to
receive in remuneration scrip, which shall
be taken in payment for water furnished
when the canal is built. The surveys have
been made and engineers estimates bear
out my assertion that the scheme is practi-
cable and will be worth hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars to that part OF Shasta and
Tehama counties.
'.The carrying out of the project has a
very important bearing on the question
of relieving the overflow of the river dur
ing freshets, and that has led many to con-
found it with the scheme promulgated by
Will S. Green of the Colusa Sun, now
United States Surveyor-General.r of con-
structing a canal from Redding to Suisun
Bay. to carry off the surplus water in the
spring and save the levees. 1t also was
proposed to construct the canal in such a
way as to make it navigable and save
much time to ilat-bottomed river craft.
But more of that anon. The present canal
scheme is paramount in landowners in
terest and means much to that part of the
State"

life of business, and drew the con-
clusion from this that the new

the most good for the race. .Men and
women will then be friends and it will not
be necessary for them to marry because

SCARED THE CHILDREN.
How a Youth of the Latin Quarter Pro-
cured for Himself Sound
Beating.

The manner in which one small boy
threw the Latin quarter into ferment and
gave rise to rumor that masked robbers
were operating in that section of the City
was told in Justice Groezinger's court yes
terday, in the case of G. GarGi against Fe-
lice Feregoni. Paul Gardi, son of the
plaintiff, put on mask and girls clothing
on February 4, in anticipation of the COM
ing Mardi Gras, and called on a number
OF families. At the house of the defendant
the children screamed at the masked boy,
who carried section of gaspipe that re-

Grand House.

The Grand has been giving its patrons thrill
ing melodrama lately. sandwiched with mirth-
provoking humor of Gilbert and Goldie, and
both extremes of the dramatic bill of fare have
been applauded to the echo.
Last night, for instance, when that affecting
melodrama, "Hoop of Gold,'' was produced,
the sandwich style of entertainment caused
the gallery especially to howl aud whistle with
delight No ,oner had the woes of the hero
inc extracted the tributary tear, than Gilbert
and Goldie's humor made people laugh till they
cried. The heroine had a terrible scene with
her brutal, drunken husband, and, goaded to
despair she seized her infant in her arms and
rushed out into the cold, cruel world. As she
did so Gilbert and Goldie came on and did a
number Of "turns" including a comic hyp-
motto seance, all of which were frantically ap-
plauded.
The scene changed to street. where the
heroine and her babe were almost perishing
of cold and hunger. Fred Butter, as the vii
lain, appeared and offered gold as the price of
iniamy. The heroine spurned him and the
