THEIR LIABILITY REMAINS.
Point About Bank of Minnesota Re-
organization Plan

Some question has arisen among the Bank
Of Minnesota depositors regarding the liability
of the stockholders under the depositors'
agreement respecting the reorganization. of
the bank The second condition of the agree
ment reads as follows: 49,
THAT an assessment Of 100 per cent be
made the present stockholders and such
assessment be collected or the stock legally
forfeited"
Some have construed this provision as re-
leasing the stockholders from their double liza
bility. When questioned concerning the mat
ter Hitler Horton, the chairman o4 the de-
positors' committee said yesterday:
''The agreement does not release the stock
holders from their full liability under the
law 1t provides that they shall be assessed
for the entire amount of their stock and in
case they fail to pay such assessment their
ment will be entered against them for an
amount equal to the value Of their stock"

Resident Of P

Among the successful business men of
this city who have won a high standing
is Ben White, the we'll known real estate
dealer, who has been established here
since 49, Mr.. White is yet young man,
and without doubt has a great future
before him. He is native son, born in
Calaveras county in 1870, was educated
in the northern part of the state. Soon
after finishing his education he went to
San Francisco, where he read law, later
on chose the real estate business as be-
ing more profitable, and is now numbered
among the few who were successful,
and the large clientage which he is con-
trolling is the best evidence that the
right man is in the right place. Socially
Mr.. White is an all-around good fellow,
and well respected by all. He leaves to-
day for San Francisco on business, and
will take a tour through the northern
part of the state before returning.
Messrs Killian and Van Wrinkle will
have full charge of the business of the
office during his absence. His many
friends and clients will be glad to well
come Mr.. Whites return, for he is one
Of those reliable and worthy men that
one always wants to meet again.
Mr.. White Is deserving of the great
success he has attained, which is all due
to his fair dealing and the looking 80

IMPROVED CONDITIONS
Big Wool and Hop Crops in Oregon
and Better Prices

John A Gill, the Pacific coast freight
agent of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern and the Michigan Central
railroads, is again in the city. Gill is
a genial fellow and alweys looks on tbs
bright side of things yet his Judgment
is good and his opinions are based on
information that has been gained by
long experience. He was seen at the
Hollenbeck last night, and readily ac-
corded the reporter an interview. Among
other things he said:
After making a circuit of the entire
Pacific coast I am convinced that the
general business conditions are very
much improved over last year. For in
stance, up in Oregon the wool growers
will get a great deal more out of their
crop this year than last The OUTPUT
will amount to about 20 per cent more.
and all told Oregon will export
in the neighborhood of 25.O0O 900
pounds of wool. There is also big in
crease in the hop crop in that state, For
that matter, will say that there is big
increase in hop production all along the
Pacific coast. Oregon will send out
$4,000 bales, and the total crop for the
three Pacific coast states will amount
to at least 175OO0 bales.
Nearly all of last years crop of de-
ciduous dried fruits has been cleaned
up, and hopes of better prices are enter
tanned for this year. From information
at hand it is safe to say that the crou
of dried fruits will amount to at least
5000 cars, which is an increase of 1000
cars over last year. With these figures
before me, cannot but be confident OF
an era of prosperity which I see before

mon law apply to citizens generally, such
as the right to lay down pipes in the streets
of the city and to collect rates for water
furnished. This was held to be fran
chise in San Francisco VS.. Spring Valley
Water Works. As Cal. 1893, and San Jose
Gas company VS.. January, 81 Id. Git.
Conceding for the argument that the
constitution, by section 10, article II.
grants this franchise to every person, it
does not follow that 1t is not franchise.
They are vested by the grant of the SOW
ereign power and not by the common law,
and the generality of the grant does not
deprive it of the character of franchise.
Spring Valley Water Works VS.. Shotler.
62 Cal. 1O7-S. Now, as this very thing.
which is all there is of value in the shape
OF franchise in the water, is exactly the
privilege which was granted to the COM
pany in consideration of rents and of fur
nishing the water to the city free of
charge, no additional charge for that fran
chise can be imposed. But even If it could
that franchise continues only for about a
year more, and the whole gross proceeds
for that years supply will not equal much
more than the half of 100000, and after
deducting the expense of operating, it
would not amount to anything like that
If, therefore, it be taxable at all, the
valuation is extravagant. Respectfully
yours, etc., J. s. CHAPMAN.
CLOSE QUESTIONING
Assistant City Assessor Lewis asked
Mr.. Mott the following questions con-
corning his estimate of the value Of the
plant:
What position do you hold, If any, in
connection with the City Water COM
pany?"
Il am secretary"
Were you such on the 1st of last
month";
"Yes"
What is the value, per share, of the
capital stock? Is it s3O0?"
NO"
"Is it $2Oo?"
''I don't know"
How much capital stock is the COM
pany incorporated for?'
"1,24000O."
do you think the assessment Of your
land and improvements, of the City Wa
ter company, is fair, compared with the
general assessments Of the city, leaving
out the franchise?"
Yes
How does it compare with the asse S.
ments Of other citizens? Is it too high or
too low?"
High, compared to other assess
ments."
rs the statement rendered the city as
SCISSOR complete, as to the property of
the City Water company?"
Yes"
eff so, on what, then, can the assessor
place the remainder Of the 60 per cent
of value of plant?"
There is none'
rs it right on a basis of go per cent?"
"Yes"
Mr.. Grider moved to place the assess
ment of the plant at s150,000, and all the
coumcilmen voted in the affirmative ex-
cept Mr.. Hutchison.

SCHEME THAT FAILED
A BASQUE COMMITS ROBBERY
AND ATTEMPTS FORGERY
Captured While in the Act of Receiv.
ing the Cash-He Is Held on
Two Charges

Peter Etchemendi is now at the city
Jail as the result of indiscreetly attempt
ing to cash a draft for s4OO which be-
longed to Peter Etchegarary.
Etchegarary came to the city several
days ago from Ventura. He had with
Ventura bank for $4O0. When he ar
rived here he went to French hotel
on Also street There he was assigned
TO a room with Etchemendi. The men
were strangers to each other but both
being Basque sheepherders, there was
nothing uncongenial in the arrange
ment.
When Etchegarary arose in the morn
ing he discovered that his purse and
draft were missing. He was very much
worried over the occurrence, but his
newly made friend condoled with him
over the loss and suggested that the
two go to the German-American Saw
ings bank, on which tine draft was drawn,
and stop payment.
Arriving there Etchemendi said that
he would attend to the business, as he
was more familiar with the necessary
form. EtcneSardry renamed outside
while his friend was supposedly stopping
payment on that $400 draft, while in
fact he was doing exactly the opposite
thing.
This all happened Wednesday. Fri
day Etchemendi went to the bank to see
if the money had arrived from Ventura.
1t had not. Yesterday morning he went
again, but in the meantime Etchegarary
had become suspicious and notified the
police. When the hour arrived to open
the bank yesterday Officer Fowler was
on the scene. Etchemendi was on hand
and was about to draw the s400. Fowler
saw him sign the name of Etchegarary
and arrested him. Now he is held on
charge of robbery and one of forgery
on either of which 1t is likely that
conviction can be secured.
