great encouragement. Already consider
able money has been collected ana the
establishment of the TRANSPORTATION line
may be considered assured. This will
mean great deal TO those who intend to
go to Alaska next year, as the rates for
nsportation will be so low as to offer
special inducements to those who are
going TO EN- bark from this point.
Another great item will be the dispatch
with which prospective miners will be
landed in Alaska, for there will be no
stoppages at Puget Sound points or else
where, and tue passengers will not be sub
jected to the risk of being fieeced by the
enterprising merchants OF Seattle and
Astoria.
The people of the East will soon be
made acquainted with the advantages
which the Seattle merchants have at
tempted to prevent them from finding
out-namely, that San Francisco offers
them the best route, the quickest trans
portation, the most complete and cheap
est outfits and provisions to be found
anywhere, and the best accommodations
and most reasonable prices.

''There is bitter feeling between the
merchants of Seattle and Juneau now, for,
not content with supplying Juneau with
goods the Seattle merchants attem pied to
cut into the business of the Juneau mer-
chants by running line of ships to Dyea,
Skaguay and other Alaskan points. in the
attempt to control all of the Alaska bIsi-
ness. This has made the Juneau business
men sore and they are willing to do busi-
ness with Us if we but invite them.
"O1e great advantage which we have over
the Puget Sound people Is that those who
come here intending to go TO Alaska are
not charged double prices for accommo-
alton at hotels, restaurants. ETC., as is the
custom in Seattle and Astoria. Many
miners have told me that just as soon as
the rush commenced the hoteI-keepers

most of the hotels and restaurants doubled
their rates and the uniortunates who were
there had to pay them, as they were COM

Argument in Judge Hebbard's
Department of the Supe-
rior Court.
Title to North Beach Property Held
by the James G. Fair Estate
Is Involved.

Considerable civic arGor was manifest
in Judge Hebbard's court yesterday morn
ing when the litigation between the Fair
estate and the Pacific Gas Improvement
Company, otherwise known as Angus ct
al. VS.. Colnon ct al, over the North Beach
waterfront property, was called up for
hearing.
The Fair estate managers have driven
some piles in the bay opposite the foot OF
Dsvisadero street, and the gas company
desires to have them removed, Incl
dentally, title 10 property worth over
$500, 600 is involved.
Mayor Phelan was present, as was also
City Attorney Creswel for they had
been notified that the m unicipal CORPORA
ton has all interest in some of the valu-
abe lots that were reclaimed from the
waters OF the harbor by the late Senator
James G. Fair and his successors.
A hint was dropped that the CITY might
become a party to this litigation by filing
q petition in equity as intervenor, but Mr.
CresweH did not feel disposed to proceed
In that way remarking that a suit deal
ing with this question is pending in one
OF the departments OF the Superior Court
and he would not consider himself iusti-
fed in appearing here as an inieryeDor
unless directed 10 co so by the Board of
Supervisors,
The point being tenn porarily disposed of
a spirited controversy arose between At
torneys Mhoon. Pilsbury and Baggett on
one side and Attorneys McEnerney and
Good fe How, who represented The Fair es.
tate, on the other.
Attorney f. S. Stratton spoke for the
State Harbor Commissioners, hold ing that
these Commissioners have absolute con-

which, according TO his view, included all
the waters thereof and all the land that
was ever covered by tidewater, and that

auent. Mr.. McEnerney insisted that
when a waterfront line or seawall has
been esta blished and recognized by the
State all lands inside that line NAV be
sold and used for any purpose that up
lands may be used for.
Mr.. Pillsbury interrupted by saving
that the piles complained of are in the
water in the line OF Deyisadero street.
and he wanted to know ii the State does
not hold such streets in trust for the peo-
pie of the State.
THAT may be true" assented Mr.. Nc
Enerney, but we have no Venetian

holding this street in trust, so holds it that
citizens may pass over it by walking or
ridlnG, but gives no guaranty to upply
gondolas for such as wish to proceed be-
yond the upland or the space that might
be tiled in up to the waterfront line"
This point was emphasized by Mr.. Nc.
Enerney when he replied to the conten-
ton presented by Mr.. Strattou to the
effect that The Harbor Commissioners had
right 10 remove obstructions in the har-
bor II Is might be true, MIR. McEnernty
said, but the piles com planned OF here are
not IN the harbor. since they are inside
the line established as the water front.
Mr.. Goodfellow made vigorous argu.
ment in favor of the Fair estates claim.
DE said this property was bought twice
and paid for twice by the late Senator
Fair, and he protested against this at
tempt on the part OF the Stale to nuliiiy
title that 1t had passed to others in the
most solemn manner, and after the claim
ants had spent $500, 900 in improving the
property. he declared that Judge Nc
kenna. while or the bench in The United
States Circuit Court, had decided in favor
of the Fair estates claim after trial last
ing for thirteen months.
Further argument will be heard by
Judge Hebbard to-day.

Protective Wing,

The Solons of the Grand Jury, as the
guests of the Board of Education. paid a
visit to many OF the public schools yester-
day in order 10 investigate their condition
and be able to make intelligent recon-
mendations regarding their most pressing
needs. Now those same learned gentle
men rise up and declare with voice united
and firm that a large majority of the
schools are in an evil condition as far as
sanitation is concerned, that many of
them are overcrowded, that many are in
an advanced stage of dilspidation, and
that the School Department needs more
money with which to carry on its work of
reform. General praise was heard of the
good work already done, but it was freely
admitted that there was room for much
more.
1t was about 10 A. NJ. when the party
started from the City Hall. and four
carriages were necessary to carry them all.
Every move made during the day was
under the guidance of School Director
Waller, chairman of the Finance and
Health Committees of the Board of Edu-
cation, whose little protective wing was
always extended. In this work he was as
sisted by Building Inspector o. Brien.
The members OF the Grand Jury present
on the excursion were: Foreman Hiram
H. Hobbs. Secretary James a. Shook,
John n. Much, J. r. Howell c. 0. Bur
ton, Barthold Kahn, Charles H. Stanyan
George Schafer, John MaIlon, Henry S.
Martin, Daniel 0. Sullivan, E. T. Dom
nelly and F. L. Turpin. Two of these
Messrs. Burton and Howell, represented
the committee on the Board of Education
and the public schools.
The mem bers of the Board of Educa-
tiO1 accompanying the party and acting
generally as escorts were: Samuei l..
Waller, chairman of the Health Com
mlttee; George Drucker. Thomas Burns.
G. a. Bantell, Secretary Charles W. Welch
and Building Inspector J. J. O Brien.

SEVERAL papers of good standing
throughout the country are deprecat-
ing the tendency to higher education
and belittllng the college diploma.
There is no denying the fact that the
possession of the diploma is an induce
ment to seek livelihood through
some other avenue than that of manu-
al labor, and thus the professions are
crowded. But the purpose which took
the young man to college would take
him from the field of productive indus
try, and college course certainly
does not make him more unfit for the
calling he selects than if he were with
o 1t it. Besides the dislike bred by a
college course 70, any industrial pur-
suit demanding physical labor, is a
legacy from the times when college
training was uncommon and the grad
uate was an aristocrat in the commu-
nifty. People do not look upon him
any more as An intellectual colossus,
and the diploma is only prima facie
evidence of intellectual culture. If
this country does not go to the dem
milton bow vows by reason of the
claim so pithily expressed by the
lrishman that lone man is as good as
another and blank sight better" the
college diploma will not suffer dis
grace by its possessor's handling the
pillow. If education brands labor as
disgraceful, then education is a fail
ure: We are yong yet in the field of
higher education. What it may lead
to must be left to the developement of
time.

NRwsPAAERs quite generally are urging
the ACCESSIBILITY of taking steps to pre-
serve our forests. But their pleas have
no effect. President Cleveland issued an
order setting aside 81 100000 acres AS a
forest reserve. But the order has been
suspended, and the work of devastation
ls gong on. The tariff placed upon i'm
porte1 lumber is a measure designed to
denude our lands. Rivers which had a
steady and almost uniform flow Of water
throughout the year, now burst their
banks and spread destruction, and then
dwlndle into slckly streams with exposed
rlverbeds. They are no longer useful for
transportation nor in furnishing power.
The steady sweap of water rejecting the
dense forest no longer holds the rapt at
tentlon OF the on-looker, The sun beats
pltllessly where once the umbraceous
depths OF the forests gave fertility, and
the rains tear assures where once they
descended like blessing.
1t Is proper that beauty and sen timeut
should give way to mans needs, and that
agriculture be paramount to the preserv-
alton OF the virgin purity of the soil. But
The lumberman's greed should be check
ed. He is now invading the beauty of the
