DIR. Barbour now read the statute
which permitted the operation of pool
selling and betting on the races at the
fair grounds. which was an amendment
to an act entitled an act "for the better
suppression of gambling" passed Febru-
airy 20, 1895. He found that the only
member of the Jefferson county delega-
ton who had voted for the measure was
Hon. John w. Mcqueen. Five other
members of the house from this county
did not vote ON the question, although
the record showed they voted on a mat
ter just preceding and another just fol-
lowing the amendment.
Mr.. Hale moved the appointment of
| committee of five-Messrs. E. II. Caba-
Miss, William A. Walker, James Bowron,
AMI Golden and w. +. Tyler, whose
duty it should be to take charge of the
matter of urging such legislation as
would prohibit bookmaking and gam
bling on races or other sports, whether
within or without the state. After some
discussion as to- the scope of the COM
| mittee's work and an amendment had
been proposed and voted down calling
upon candidates for the legislature to de-
fine their position, the motion was
adopted.
Also upon Mr.. Hale's motion a collec-
tion was taken up to defray the expenses
of the committee, Dr. Charles Whelan
being given credit for his generous con-
tribution of the use of the opera house.
While the hat was being passed around
Mr.. James Bowron, the ever instructive,
vigorous, breezy and inspiring advocate
of Birmingham, who is best known as
the secretary of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company, came forward in
response to an appeal and made ring
ing speech in the good cause. He said

on the other the gospel could come In the

Prof. Arnold OF the University of

Silver Churn Butterine is prepared

that this minute share was worth about

he had purchased the share, he found it
only to be worth Eli year. On this he
asked for damages. The jury assessed the
damages at 665. Assuming this share to
be worth Els per annum (Which seems
about the average value), it is clear that
the net dividend on shares is Ell, PIG.

Greater Oakland Is Only a
Matter of Time.
No Complete Sewerage System Can

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GALL
Q0S Rr0od nav noo ~

QUO DIoauWdy, Dec. Il.
The desire to annex all that territory
between the northern boundary line of
Oakland and the southern line of Berkeley
that is not included in the new town OF
Emeryville is gradually growing stronger
and greater Oakland may soon be more
than name.
Before the incorporation of Emeryville
a petition was prepared asking the Super
Vlsors to declare an incorporated town the
district that is now Emeryville as we'll as
the territory some distance out of it.
When the racing town project was brought
forward with such a rush the original
petition was withdrawn, but the increased
dignity that attaches to the new town has
aroused the jealousy of that territory
which Is still unat tached and there is a
growing inclination now that the OUTLYING
district cannot be town bv itself
10 be attached TO the city OF Oakland
george Z. Morrow is one of the prime
movers in favor of annexation and his en-
thuslasm is shared by many men equally
prominent and aggressive.
AT the present time no complete system
OF sewerage, street lighting or any kind of
Improvements can be undertaken and
just as long as this loose piece of territory
declines to become a portion of CITY inst
so long will it remain as a section of will
derness.
The matter OF annexing this territory"
said County Clerk Jordan today, ais re-
ceiving a great deal OF attention, and do
not think it will be long before it becomes
part OF greater Oakland. With an eco
nomical administration the taxes would
not be great and would be as nothing com
pared to the improvements that would
come with incorporation. The opening
up OF the two electric roads through that
territory during the past five years and
the building of the new racetrack in the
immediate vicinity have completely
changed the aspect of that portion of the
county. 1t is rapidly becoming populated
and being divided into streets, and nat
urally when progress once sets in it must
be developed. This district can only be
developed, il seems to me, by incorpora-
ton with Oakland
