MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC PLANT.
REPORT OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE COMMITTEES.
1hey Figure the Expense of Run
ming 1t One-Tbird Higher Than
the City Engineer Does.

"A meeting of the Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce was held yester-
day morning, President Stenens presid-
ing
The report Of the Committee on Pub
he improvements on the purchase ana
operation of municipal electric light
ing plant was received and placed on
file.
Data in the hands of Secretary j. ..
Coleman showed the estimated running
expenses Of a lighting plant costing
636JS, to be, according to the commit
tee, $31, 800 a year, or 5000 a month,
while the estimate furnished by the
City Engineer fixed the expense al S23,-
ola 20 a year, or 81, $50 80 a month.
The report of the committee in full,
was as follows:
To the Board Of Directors of Sacra-
mento Chamber of Commerce-Gentle-
men: Your committee to whom was
referred the matter OF a municipal cleo
trio lighting plant, respectfully report:
First-That the estimated cost of
go arc light steam plant, with pole
line, as furnished by experts of the city,
viz. S63,63S is, in our opinion, too low.
Yet we have accepted the same as a ba-
sis of our estimate for running ex-

penSes. If the cost of installing the
plant should be more, il would not
change our estimate. except in items Of
interest on bonds and depreciation;
therefore our estimate on running ex
penses should enable you to conclude
whether Sacramento should purchase
and operate an electric lighting plant
If your board decides against an cleo
tric lighting plant. your committee re-
specially suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of
The city owning pole and wire line to
be used for public lighting. Proposals
could be received from the several cleo
trio companies to furnish lamps and
power, the successful bidder to keep the
line in good repair. This course would
enable the electric companies to do
business with their power plants as
they are. and would do away with any
unnecessary poles now in place, or a
further increase of same. Respectfully
yours

TEN MILLION SPAWN.
big Consignment of Salmon Eggs
Goes Through st. Paul.

A party of officials Of the United
States fish commission passed through
st. Paul yesterday morning en- route
East with 10000 GOO salmon spawn in
one of their special cars. The party
arrived over The Northern Pacific
Overland train from San Francisco, and
their car was Immediately attached to
the Wisconsin Central Chicago train,
not more than half-hOur being spent
in St Paul The hatcheries of ST.
Paul and Duluth often received large
consignments of the spawn of Pacific
slope fish but the shipment Of 10000
900 yesterday, which is an unusually
large number, were all destined for
Eastern points. The car will make a
circuit of the stations in many Of the
Eastern states, where the eggs will be
distributed for Matching after which
the finnies will be placed in rivers and
lakes for propagation.
Large deposits of salmon eggs are
found in nearly all of the Pacific slope
rivers ard the government has paid
special attention to the propagation Of
the salmon for several years past, MAX
ing large consignments annually of the
eggs to their stations in the East. The
cid fish come up the river from the sea
and deposit their eggs in fresh water,
aft + which they return to the sea, le2v
ing the eggs to hatch
Last year the two Minnesota stations
received several large consignments of
what is known as the steel head sal
mon which is a new species in this part
of the country About 10000 were re-
Ceived. The state also received 10000
trout eggs last year from the govern
ment commission.

THREE HOUSES scoRcHED.
Fire Fiend Invaded Residence Sec
tons Last Evening.

The family of James Frost, 1927 Magnolia
street. and of Ado.ph Faltz, 331 Magnolia
street, comprising ten persons, were driven
from their homes by fire, which shortly
after o'clock last evening, damaged the ad-
joining house to the extent of 81, 5OO When
the fire department had succeeded in almost
subduing the flames section Of hose burst,
necessitating a considerable delay before water
could again be turned on the burning build
ings and the flames gained a second start,
wsich resulted in both houses being seriously
damaged and the contents Of each being prac-
tically totally destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at $500 on Frost's home, and $500 on the
contents, fully insured, while Faltzs loss Is
$500 on the house and $500 On the contents
also insured. Neighbors succeeded in getting
a plano out Of the Faltz home uninjured.
The origin of the fire, beyond the fact that
it started in vacant shed between the two
houses is not known. When discovered the
had communicated to the dwellings on either
side. Both families were at supper, but so
quickly did the fire spread that nothing could
be done to stay the flames to save the con-
tents Of the houses. The engine house IS
nearly mile from the box from where the
alarm was sent in, thus allowing the fire to
get advantageous start before the arri-
val of the department, which was later further
handicapped by the bursting of the hose. Both
houses are two-story frame dwellings, and
were more or less damaged throughout. The
unfortunate families found temporary shelter
with friends.
Shortly before o'clock last evening the
fire department was called to extinguish a
slight blaze at 1861 Westminster street in the
apartments of w. McGibbon. The oil in
kerosene stove caught fire while Mrs. McGib-
bons was lighting the stove. She escaped in
jury from the b,aZe which shot to the CELL
ing, but the kitchen was damaged to the ex-
tent of S75

FUNERAL OF MOTHER ST. JOHN
Will BE Held This Morning From ST
JoseDh's Academy.

Will BE Held This Morning From st.
Joseph's Academy.
Mother st. John, Of the st. Joseph
sisterhood, who died Saturday at st.
Joseph's academy, aged f1fty-three,
before taking orders, was known as
Eliza Ireland, daughter of the late
Richard and Judith Ireland.
Mother st. John has been connected
with the various institutions of the
order in the Northwest, and was con-
sidered an educator Of the first rank.
She was a native of Burnchurch, coun-
ty Kilkenny, Ireland, and came with
her parents to this country when quite
young. 1t was in this city that she
entered the order of st. Joseph to-
gether with her sister, who is known
as Mother Seraphine, at present su-
perioress at st. Joseph's academy.
Mother st. John was stricken with
consumption about twelve months ago,
and, though everything known to med
zeal science was done for her, she
gradually declined.
The last charge of Mother st. John
was Holy Angels academy at Mime
apolis, where she remained until her
condition became so serious that 1t was
deemed best to remove her to ST. Jo-
sephs academy, this city, where she
could have the immediate attention Of
her brother, the archbishop, and Moth
er Seraphine.
The funeral will take place this
morning from the academy, the serv-
ices attending the last rites being of
the usual impressive character. The
archbishop will no doubt officiate as
celebrant of the requiem mass. A
sermon will be preached by one of the
bishops of the diocese.

At a meeting of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning the matter
Of brigade posts" was brought up
and referred back to the committee on
state affairs. Maj. Espy withdrew his
former resolution, which he introduced
the morning after the alleged inter-
view with "a prominent officer Of the
department of Dakota" which was
published in the Pioneer Press a week
ago Yesterday. In the place of his
original resolution Maj. Espy introduce
ed substitute, which simply recon-
mended that our representative in
congress be urged to secure an increase
Of the garrison now stationed at Fort
Smelling and said nothing about "bri-
gade posts"
Maj Espys action was explained by
a little parry which ensued just after
he had taken the floor to introduce the
substitute "Mr. President" said he,

then somebody called across the room
and asked him if he was going to
establish another brigade post

ly. 'I got a pointer from the G e
several days ago, and 1 want to intro
duce this resolution as substitute for
the one offered at that time, as I I'M
derstand that Gen. Wade says there
is no such thing as a brigade post 4"
The substitute was received and re-
ferred back to the committee on state
affairs, who will make report at
their next meeting, which will be held
next Monday. The following is the
text Of the substitute resolution:
