THAT MOTOR LINE.

There is talk that the motor project
to Waterloo is falling through; but the
following from theSatatesman indicates
that 1t not only is not; but is to 20
right through to Salem, probably the
way the Falls City and Stayton motor
lines did:
Hon. Thos. Kay returned from
Waterloo yesterday, where he went a
few days ago to attend mass meeting
of citizens Of that progressive little
burg which was called for the purpose
Of taking some action with reference
to the new motor line which Port
land syndicate proposes to build from
that place 10 Lebanon and presumably
to Salem, in the near future.
The meeting was held in Waterloo
on Wednerday evening, and a great
deal of enthusiasm manifested over The
project. Superintendent Wilkins, the
promoter of the road, was present aud
reported progress in securing subscrip-
tion for the enterprise, as also the right
of way from Waterloo to Lebanon.
This latter is quite an item, and the
right of way was given cheerfully BY
the owners of the property concerned
along the entire line, with the excep.
tion of two men, who refuse to give
consent for the road to he built across
their premises unless they could dictate
the direction 1t should take in passing
through their farms. This, however,
will be arranged satisfactorily in very
short time. Mr.. Kay also spoke and
argued in favor of having the road i'm.
mediately built to Salem, where the
river steamers landed every day of the
year, where the state capitol and all
the public institutions were located,
and from which place hundreds of
people would annually come to visit the
springs at SodaviIle and Waterloo, pro.
lyiding they could get there without
being forced to MAKE the fatIguing
overland trip.
Other gentlemen spoke in favor of
the scheme and considerable money
was pledged.
A committee of tell gentlemen was
appointed to assist in helping matters
along, and to have netting called for
July 4th, on the occasion of the cele-
bration, when the matter will again
be placed before the public.
SuperintendentWilkinsis now OH the
ground with his family, having located
at Lebanon for the present, and he will
at once commenced the erection of a
telegraphic line between that place and
Waterloo, the timber for the poles be-
ing generously donated by Mr.. Kay
In shor: time, it is expected, that
grading will commence on that end of
the road and, as soon as the matter is
decided upon, the work between Leba.
non and this city will commence.
The citizens of Salem now have an
opportunity to get in and secure the
one thing needful to make Salem a
leading city in the true sense of the
word, by securing this motor line.
There is only one obstacle to overcome
and that is the bridging of the two
branches of the Santiam, which, of
course, will be somewhat expensive,
but outside of that the line will be very
cheap,

residents of the vicinity can easily resort with
their families for fresh air, sunshine, rest and
recreation.
That the population OF West Oakland is
greater in proportion 10 the area than that of
any other portion of the city, and for that
reason there is greater need there for public
park.
That the present era of low prices of land in
West Oakland is more favorable for the pur-
chase OF park than has been for a long series
of years.
That the people of Oakland have already
pronounced in favor OF this petition by their
votes for members of this Council who were
nominated upon a platform which demanded
a park for West Oakland, which demand has
not vet been considered by the Council,
although their term OF office has more than
half expired.
That a bona fide effort to purchase land for
such park must De initiated by an addition to
the annual tax levy, in order to obtain money
for the purpose, otherwise the land could not
be purchased or money expended TO lay out
or EN- bellish a park.
We take this occasion to hand these resolu-
tions to Frank K. Mott, the Councilman repre-
senting the First Ward, and request him to
present this De titfon to the Mayor and City
Council, with such resolution or order as
shall be found necessary to secure its object,
and that he urge the granting of this petition
with the best of mis- ability.
The petition is being very extensively
signed.

ALL HAIL THE CHIEF.
Berkeley Firemen Rally Round
James Kenney, Their Elected
Leader.
They Tender Him a Banquet and
Present Him With
Badge.

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 5. - James
Kenney, Berkeley's prospective new fire
chief, was rendered banquet by about
seventy-five of his admirers tonight at the
headquarters of the Columbia Hose Com
pany and presented with a handsomely
wrought tireman's badge in token of their
esteem. The companies represented were
the North Berkeley Fire Company, the
Beacon and Posen, the Third Ward and
the Columbia. Though Kenney's nomina-
ton by the majority of the fire companies
in Berkeley has not been confirmed by the
Board of Town Trustees yet, that he will be
so appointed Is generally acknowledged.
In fact five of the seven fire companies in
Berkeley which have announced them
selves in favor of Kenney seem determined
to put their man into the position, the
possible action of the sboard to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
Various protests against the appraise-
ment of Kenney have been filed. but
they have been apparently Intellectual.

last night to succeed Rev. Campbell Coyle
as assistant pastor of the First Presby

ties this morning, and participated in the
weekly praver-meeting tonight
The church has been under the spiritual
care OF Rev. Robert F. Coyle. DID, and
his brother for the past two years. Early
in the spring Rev. Campbell Coyle went
East on 2 visit. Upon his return in June
he received a call from one of the most
prominent churches. in Toledo. He ac-
cepted and left about a month ago for his
new field. At the time of his departure
there was some talk of rupture in the
church work between the two brothers.
but all OF their friends deny the state
ment and unite in saying that there was
the utmost harmony. a prominent Off
cial of the church says:
1T was the understanding when Camp
bell Coyle came to Us from the Brooklyn
Presbyterian Church that he was at lib
erty to accept call whenever he received
one he wanted to accept. He is an am bi-
tlous young man of great power and we
knew that he would not always be salts
fed to remain as a second man in any
urch. As to his having any trouble
with his brother, it is all bosh. -
Rev. Owen Jones came to this country
in 1886 from Wales, where he was born
about fifty years ago. He is a grad uate of
the University OF London, which institu-
ton conferred the degree of master of
arts upon him in 1879. Just before leav-
ing his native land he published a book
entitled "Some of the Great Preachers of
Wales" which has had a large sale and
can be found in almost every Presby terian
Sunday school library IN the land
His first pastorate in America was at
Escanaba, Mich, where he served an Eng

He came TO Oakland four years ago to as
sumo charge OF the Welsh Presby yterian

sented a report in which they recon-
mended that the word county be
stricken out in the last line of section

county apportionments during the school
year for any of the purposes authorized by
this chapter, but a sum equal to the
amount received from State apportion-
ments, and at least 90 per cent of county
apportionments, exclusive of the library
fund, must be applied to the payment of

Tomorrow is Charity day at the expo

If ever there was popular idea the di-
rectors have found it in granting to the
Associated Charities of Oakland the net
receipts of the exposition next Thursday
for the benefit of the unemployed during
the coming winter. Indeed the success OF
the plan is already so well assured that
the talk is broadening into an effort for
spring as we'll.
1t is probable that much vacant land in
Alameda County will be offered rent free
and seed furnished the coming season to
such as need and desire such an oppor-
tunity.
The programme committee is working
quietly, but by the name of the committee
all are assured of first-class entertainment,
beth during afternoon and evening. One
hundred children from the West Oakland
Home will sing pathetic songs in the after
noon. The committee consists of DR.. 3.
s. Chapman, ID. Edward Collins and Mrs.
Paul Lohse.
The ladies' booth has charmed all be-
holders by its unique and artistic arrange
ment under the skillful management of
Mesdames ]. w. Shanklin, D. S. Hirsh-
berg and P. II. TempIeton and their as
sistants. The burlap ground, rope trim
ming, with smilax and palms, show ex-
quisite taste. The art gallery and litera-
ture are also attractive. This committee
will be assisted in receiving Thursday by
lady directors-Mesdames C. II. Redding-
ton and E. c. Borland. Different socie-
ties will entertain from day to day by
turns. Monday the ladies of the First NJ.

The press com mittee have done admira-
bly, in their efforts to arouse an enthusi-
asm. They are already sanguine. The
committee consists of H. III. Mcknight,
Mrs. William Mcdonald, Mrs. H. Rief and
Miss Mollie Conners.
One of the most attractive corners in
the new building is THE CALL booth. A

The farmers of Livermore Valley be-

to help themselves in regard to the man
ufacture of butter. On March 16 of this
year they met and Incorporated for the
purpose of conducting general creamery.
Nearly five months have passed and the
returns show that the hopes OF the dairy
men have been realized.
The first four months output shows an
aggregate of q. 100 pounds of butter. The
figures are interesting. When the cream
cry started the butter market stood at II
cents pound. Later IN the spring it fell
as low as 1314 cents, and has now risen to
1917 cents and still going up. at the aver
age price of 16 cents the Livermore Cream
erv has in the first four months run re-
turned to its dairymen $500 IN coin, be-
sides the return of 525, 900 pounds of skim
milk with which to fatten hogs, chickens
and calves. which was worth about $500.
July is well passed, the fresh cows are

creasing, the per cent of butter fat has
raised and is still raising. The farmers

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 5.-There was a
very large attendance at the Christian Al
lance Convention this evening at the
First Baptist Church the congregation OF
the church and that of the First Christian
Church having united their midweek
prayer-meet ting with the visitors. The ad-
dress was by Rev. G. H. Waddell, his sub
iect being "Divine Healing VS.. Christian
Science"
He upheld the former as an ordinance
commanded by Christ when he told the
disciples to anoint with oil any that were
sick and to Law on hands. 1t was only a
full and complete acceptance of Christ's
promises. Christian science he had little
use for, as it did not recognize God, or alle-
glance to him in any way. Following the
sermon there was an amounting service and
a number went forward to receive the
anointment and laying on of hands.

mittee certified copy of the new great

Belief That Robert Mcdonald Has an
Interesting Story to Tell

OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 5.-The trial of
Robert Mcdonald, charged with attempt
ing to bribe Jason Peck in the trial of q
Chinese lottery dealer in the Police Court,
is under way in the Superior Court before
Judge Greene. Deputy District Attorney
H. A. Melvin represents the people and
T. F. Garrity and Warren Heaton the de-
fendant.

ing five days. term in Jail and who is
under sentence to pay in addition a fine
of 500 for contempt of court in approach
ing E. NJ. Llpka regarding the Gordan
gold brick swindle, is mentioned in the
examination OF all jurors in the case.
When arrested Mcdonald in an inter-
view claimed that Inwall had something
to do with his troubles. and there is some
likelihood that at the right time in the
trial he may tell story that will impli-
cate number of people who hang about
the courts of this city and county. 1t is
believed he could tell much If he chose,
and 1t is expected that he will tell rather
than to suffer alone.

stimulated TO do so by the advancing price
of butter. The success of the creamery is
now no longer matter of doubt. When
it concludes its first years run it will show
an unbroken run of 365 days and a total
distribution of proceeds to stockholders
and milkmen that will not fall short of
SIS. 900.
OF the July output every pound OF it was
taken by home merchants. The utmost
satisfaction has been given. and if the
facilities could be obtained it could dis
pose of four times the amount.
To help the farmers of the Altamont
region enjoy the benefits OF the creamery,
a skimming station is to be established
near that place. The farmers will bring
their milk every morning, and the butter
fat will be extracted by the separator and
sent to the creamery. There are cows
enough in the hills around Altamont to
furnish $500 pounds of milk a day, which
would bring about $500 to the farmers
every month. 1t is probable that other
districts NAV be taken in shortly.
