90 years of age he married, but his wife
only lived three years and their son was
drowned at sea in 1843. Haley married a
second time in 1892, and his FIVE sons and
three daughters are all settlers on the Pa
ciic Coast.
As soon as the news of the California
gold fields reached Nova Scotia, Haley
was enc of the first to come West. He,
with eighteen others, sailed from Var

den. Their cargo consisted of house
frames and other building material, and
among the passengers and cooperative
owners were b. y. Redding and

arrival in California Mr.. Haley started for

After arguing that low water mark m ght
not be a reasonable Limit for the bench, OF
commerce, which requires wharves cut to
deep water, Mr.. Shanklin includes:
Nor can one word be found in the act fix
ing low water mark as the limit tor con-
struction, nor IS any particular depth Of
water designated, as in the San Francisco
acts to mark the limits channelward. The
act wisely omitted all such unnecessary
limitations where variable con itions or
change should control as to the extent of
structures"
TIE discovery of low-water line as the
pivot on which the whole water front de-
cision turns Iii determining the extent of
the land grant to the town of Oakland
cannot be claimed b. the attorneys on
either side Eor by the lower courJ-their
legal acumen was not sharp enough to
develop this fine point of light in the case.
The discovery seems to have evolved from
the Inner consciousness of the court
outside OF the wording of the act and
TO come fully within the province OF
the following paragraph taken from
the decision. The court says: at fire.
Quently happens that the trainers OF a
law have no well-detined idea of what
they desire TO accomplish, or no capacity
to give expression to their ideas. In such
cases the difficult task is imposed upon
courts of discovering meaning that
never existed. Such, | think, is really
the case here" The decision, however,
shows that the court was fully equal TO
the task imposed, and the Legislature, as
well as Carpeu tier, who drew the act, Is
exonerated from ever having intended

Removal of So-CalIed 'Plants.''
OAKLAND, Dec. Mrs. Emma Shat
ter Howard OF the Woman's I'm provement
Club, who donated the trees and planted
them around the Lincoln School, to-day
made public her idea concerning the
plaza ad joining. She would place fifteen
we'll selected California naples along the
outer side OF the walk. under which
benches might be p aced when grown.
Continuing, she says: The plan also
calls for the removal of the useless, pur-
poseless planting in the park, as basis
Tor intelligent planting and grouping OF
irst-cass material, Towering shrubs,
palms, conifera, etc. This would call Tor
lie removal of about fifty so-called
"plants" and the careful selection of an
equal number of first-class specimens so
arranged that their value would be edu-
catona, artistic and utilitarian. That
Intelligence costs in the beginning goes
without saying. That to be guided by it
is true economy is equally true"
