WELLS FARGO
WILL BUILD
The Company to Erect a Fine
Structure on Second
Street.
Many Workingmen Are Engaged
in Clearing Ground for the
Foundation.
Extent of. the Land Owned by the
Corporation on the Site of the
Street North of Mission.

The buildings which have long stood on
the east side of Second street, north from
Mission street to the line of Jessie and
east from Second to Anthony, are being
demolished to clear the ground Tor pro-
posed new structure to be raised by Wells,
Fargo & Co. The corporation owns the
frontage on Second street, from Mission
TO the wall of Redington's big store, and
at one time the managers of the com mpany
talked of putting up building to cover
the entire area of ownership. This would
have been done if the Southern Pacific
Company, which desired ample accommo-
oations in that quarter, had not been
tied up by a long lease of the present
quarters in the Union Trust building.
The new building of Wells, Fargo &
Co., for which plans are being prepared,
will have q frontage of 100 feet on Second
street and depth of 112 feet on Mission.
The east line of the building will be on
Anthony street, which runs from Mission
north to Jessie. The new structure can,
tn erefore, be entered from three streets,
and Jessie street can be used as an avenue
to connect with First. The company's
new home is to be six stories high and
will be equipped with all the modern ap-
pliances. The company purchased the
land at a reasonable figure, paying less
than $1,000 foot for part of the tract. 1t
is fine piece OF property, and it is said
that the building to adorn tho land will
present features of ornament as we'll as
qua itie, of convenience and durability.
The four-story building on New Mont
gomery street, now occupied by the e1-
press company, belongs TO the Sharon
estate, and the story goes that Wells,
Fargo & Co. pay $1,000 month rental tor
the premises. When the agent of the
Sharons was asked to diminish the rent
he responded In independent style that
the building could be rented for that
figure before it was vacated. Time will
determine whether his judgment was cor
rect. By reason, in part, OF the little diff
ference of opinion concerning the value of
the pI emises, San Francisco will gain an
other new modern building, and Mission
street will continue to grow in Importance
as q business thor0ughiare.

HEATLEY'S WILL IN VALID
Judge Coffey Refuses to Admit
the Disputed Document
to Probate.
Important Question of Law Argued
Yesterday by Attorneys High
ton and Paige.

Judge Coffey decided an important
point in probate law yesterday in the
matter OF the estate OF the late Edward D.
Heatley.
A paper purporting to be the last will of
the deceased was tlled for probate. 1t was
a curiosity from the fact that it partook
of the charac teristics of an Geographic
Will in some respects, yet it contained an
unfinished attestation clause showing an
intention on the part of the writer to
have it executed in the usual statutory
manner.
Attorney H. E. Highton objected to the
admission of the will to probate on the
ground that it was not will or even the
semblance of will. There are two mod es
of making Wilt may be Geographic or
it may be executed by attestation.
This will Is not Geographic because it is
not signed, and therefore fails IN one OF
the essential requirements of the code. If
it is 10 be considered as a will to be
attested, then the provisions of the statute
must be strictly construed and the attesta-
tion clause being incomplete, there is no
validity to the document. He drew the
attention of the court to the fact that the
Supreme Court of this State has decided
that there is no inherent right to dispose
of property by testamentary action and
that therefore the control of this matter is
entirely within the power of the legisla-
ture. In all the States the courts hold
that the presumption is against a paper
that is incom plete.
Attorney Paige, speaking for the pro-
ponents of the will, took a contrary view.
He thought that the court ought to inquire
into the intention of the decedent and to
allow that intention 10 govern in case of
this kind.
This document was found in an en-
velope with three other wills that had
been drawn and executed in accordance
with the law, but they had been mutilated
and obliterated by Mr.. Heatley, who had
evidently intended to substitute this
paper as his will.
Mr.. Highton replied that so far as the
presumption of fact could be considered
the finding of this paper with other docu-
ments such as had been described indi-

at the prospects of getting additional cleo
trio lights as also enlarged school accom-
mediation Tor the benefit of the children of
the district. With reference to the lights
hopes were given by communication
from Supervisor Rivers promising that
the request for electric lights would be
conceded as soon as the light fund was re-
plenished. 1t was decided to place the
nine lights needed at the following points !:
Ripley and Harrison streets, Stoneman
and Harrison streets, Twenty sixth and
Bryant streets, Army and De Haro streets,
California avenue and Montezuma street,
Shotwen and Aztec reefs, Treat avenue,
between Preclta avenue and Stoneman
street Army and Vermont streets, Peralta
and RutIedge streets.
The special committee appointed at the
last meeting OF the CLUB to urge upon the
Supervisors the necessity of putting side
walks on Army street, between Mission
and Alabama, and also between San Bruno
road and De Haro street, reported that
the committee of the board received the
application and promised to give the mat
ter its earliest considera ton.
Progress was reported on the work al
ready commenced in the district, as fol-
lows: The sewering of Precita avenue
from Alabama to York; the filling in to
the street grade of the block bounded by
Folsom, harrison, Army and Precita ave-
nue., and the grading of Precita avenue.
School Director Burns chairman of the
Building Com mittee, reported to the COM
mittee that temporary quarters for school
purposes will be opened on the 1st of the
month at Potrero avenue and Costa
streets. Accom- modations will be pro-
vided for the younger children. The ex-
ecutlve com mittee was instructed to again
visit the Supervisors Finance Com mIttee
and i'm press upon them the neces> >ity for
providing funds for school building OF
at least four classes.

SOUTH OF MISSION CHANNEL
Sheet-Water Bay and Mudfiat Valley
Being Filled In.


The Long Bridge" that at one time
served as connecting link between San
Francisco proper, the Potrero and South
San Francisco, like a great many other
pioneer landmarks, is a thing of the past.
The water sheet and mudhat that
stretched from the high water line on the
southern side OF Market street to the
shore line of the Potrero Heights is al
most now filed in and transformed from
its original condition into a prosperous
business section, tenanted by lum ber
merchants. At the present rate of filing
it will only be a few years more until the
entire watershed and mudhat becomes
the receptacle of sufficient garbage to dis
possess the salt wat er tenant that had oc-
cupied the fat by pre-emptionary right
since the days of Adam.
With the filing in of Mission Bay comes
the leveling of Blue Rock Hill, which
stood on the summit of the present line of
Kentucky street. The cause which led 10
this wonderful tranformation of hill and
mudtiat was the locating of manufactur-
ing industries such as the Western Sugar
Refinery by the enterrrisihg Claus
Spreckels, the Union Iron Works, rolling
mills, rope walks, ana last, but not least,
Bntchertown.
Mission Bay that was is destined to be
''The Ium ber-yards" Of this City, except,
of course. that portion which the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company will require
for its use as freight-shGds and side
tracking its cars. Potrero Heights are, to
a certain extent, being built upon by
thrifty mechanics who have settled there
with their families. In the meantime Long
Bridge has disappeared, and in its stead
has come Kentucky street, with its electric
line of cars and heavy-laden trucks trav-
ersing its broad surface, hauling mer-
chandise and building material for the
general public.
At the present time work at the Union
Iron Works is not rushing. The building
of the Japanese man-of-war and the one
for Uncle Sam is being pushed along
quietly with no rush. The men are some
what disappointed at the failure of the
SCOTS in not getting the contract for the
proposed gun boat; but, yet, they have all
the work they can attend to IN the shop
for the next year.
1t is rumored about the Potrero that as
soon as the Fair estate is settled the Union
Iron Works will get control of the rollin g.
mills. This branch of industry is run
ming somewhat behind of late, and those
on the Southern Heights who are in a
position 10 know say that If the SCOTS
once get contro. of the works things Will
change for the better.
The temporary absence of the police
from the Potrero by order of the head OF
the department is being felt, as several
petty thefts have been committed during
hafr a haar in, he
