THIRD STREET TO

Some Big Buildings Con.
templated.

Third street, from Harrison to Mission,
is to be lighted within ten days by arc
lights suspended midway of the thorough
fare, and other material Improvements
are promised. But the few blocks of
lights Will be only the beginning of the
system very soon to extend the entire
length of Third street. from the very busi-
ness center of the City at newspaper cor
ners to the railroad station.
Comm ittees are at work canvassiug the
property-owners to obtain their co-opera-
tion in the enterprise that is calculated
to enhance the value of property, and at
the same time make the street more at
tractive to storekeepers, who, under other
circumstances, might move into thor
oughfares already enliyened by electric
lights.
1t is movement with which the prop
erty- owners generally are in hearty ac-
cord. They look upon it in way as
profitable and necessary investment.
They do not think that the storekeepers
that are merely tenants should be asked
to maintain the improvement that is cal
culated to put the street in line with other
progressive streets that have already made
I'm mprovements that may attract storekeep-
erS to locate in them.
The project was originally suggested
nearly a month ago by Hugo keil, oae of
the directors of the Merchants Associa-
tion and himself a property-owner on
Third street. A general COMMITTEES con-
sisting of James O'Dwyer, Joseph Silver
man, Rienzi Hughes and Katchinski then
undertook the work of canvassing among
the property-owners and with gratifying
results. Then when the success of the
undertaking began TO be assured the other
parties to the movement placed matters
in the hands of Messrs. Sllverman and
Hughes, who have during the last few
days been actively engaged in the work.
This committee, discussing the subject
yesterday. said:
1.-The lighting of Third street has become
a necessity. Other streets have put in arc
lights and we must keep our tenants.
"With the Southern Pacific Railroad
and strong probability of the terminus
OF the San Joaquin Valley road being
there also, Third street will naturally have
the travel to the center of the City. Since
we have been among the property-owners
and talked the subject over with them we
have found out that quite number of
property-owners intend soon to put up
some new buildings and better houses on
the street. We were assured by one prop
erty-owner that he intends % erect an
eight-story building between Mission and
Howard streets. Another means to build
large modern hotel between Howard and
Folsom streets.

being aroused to the prospects of the

THE HUDELSON LIBEL.
G. w. owen Begins His Testimony
AZ a Witness for the
Defense.

When the criminal libel case against
BENJAMIN F. Hudelson was called IN
Judge CampbeIIs court yesterday AFTER
noon the Judge remarked that he was
very tired of the business and hoped 1t
would not, like the brook, go on forever.
The remark was called forth when the
complaining witness, Attorney D. B.
Woodwork, reminded the court that he
had asked the privilege of bringing WIT
nesses for the prosecution, although rest
ing his case.
1t was at first agreed to continue the
case till Tuesday afternoon, but Attorney
Jordan, after consulting with G. w.
Owen, who now lives in Santa Cruz,
asked that his evidence might be taken,
and he took the stand as witness for the
defense.
Owen testified to being in Rev. Donald
