An. here was a happy thought On sec ond consideration he was almost certain that more time would be given. He has more reasons for this than there are bricks in the building, and every one winner. He also hints at the possibility of being able to force his claim for more time in the courts if necessary. What are the reasons?
 Well, the chief one seems to be that the all mighty head of the Police Department wants changes made in the plans. He doesn't want the whole building, but he does want all of one floor, and MT. Bate man Is considerably delaying the work of putting in partitions on this floor until he finds out just what will be done, as he wants to save the city the expense of putting in the partitions and then hay ing them torn down and rearranged." |" He. also figures that he will be able to make a good showing by that date: that -tenths of the work will be done '"The terra cotta will be here In two weeks; the lathing will be here in two weeks the iron for the partitions will be here in two weeks; the flooring will be here in two weeks, and a big force of men will be on the ground" perhaps to complete the cabalistic chain and finish the building in two weeks more.

 PEACE JUBILEE State Celebration May Be Held in Oakland.
A HINT FROM CHICAGO
UNDER CONSIDERATION BY THE
 BOARD OF TRADE.
Vice President Keller Sees Many Rea- sons Why the Signing of Treaty Should Be
 Great Occasion.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, Aug. 8.
 The Board of Trade has received communication from the National Busi ness League of Chicago asking co-opera- ton in the matter of arranging a great national peace jubilee. The programme outlined by the league consists largely of pageantry typical of the progress of America from the landing of the Pil grim Fathers up to the present time. It Is proposed by the Chica goans to keep the celebration up for a whole week.
 This project of a great peace jubilee" said NJ J. Keller, vice-president of the Board of Trade, to-day, lis a good one. but it is absurd to think that Chicago should have the benefit of it all. We want just such a jubilee right here in Oakland The birth of the idea In Chi cago is typical of that city. It is the first to disseminate nearly everything that is original and popular and that respect 1t is far ahead of New York and the older Eastern cities Now there IS no reason why Oakland should not take the lead in this matter on the coast rms city is altogether too modest. and in such affairs as this is not as lively as Los Angeles. It was proved on the last Fourth of July that we could give bet, ter celebration than San Francisco, and crowds of people crossed the bay to Wit ness it. As a matter of fact, San Fran cisco cannot advance site on when a great demonstration can be held, and as to a parade. let those who have paraded in the big city answer.
 ''The matter is now being considered by the directors of the Board of Trade. By the time peace is assured and it's ar ticles have been signed by both nations everybody will have returned from their summer vacations, and the time Will De ripe for great jubilee It should De ea7tdC 9ela I have no doubt truly representative jubilee could be arranged.
