nail up their own crates paid from
9Oc to 81 per hundred for the Ia
Dor of completing them.
H. +. Hagen, who has the con-
tract for the crates, has received
two car loads Of nails to be used

HOMEMADE TWINE.
Hemp Growers Desire Recognition
 Among the Merchants.

At a meeting of the Manufacturers and Producers Association held yesterday af- ternoon at the society's rooms in the Mills building the question of growing hemp and its conversion into twine occu- pied the attention of the meeting.
 Horatio Beveridge, manager of the Pa cific Coast Mining Agency, in his opening address dwelt upon the great advantages to the merchants of this coast should from homegrown hemp He stated that there was 400 tons produced in California last year; this brought 5ls cents in the Eastern market. From this price it was quite evident that the growing of hemp was profitable investment to men upon whose land the fiber thrived. It was shown that there was a profit of $50 an acre to those who had grown hemp in this State last year. Upon the representa- tions made by those interested in the hemp industry and also those desirouS of investing capital in machinery to con vert the hemp into twine, the association will refer the matter to it's committee on promotion for consideration.

HAVE BUILT A "BIG C."

BERKELEY, Feb. 1O.-The "Senior C. fence or bench. was built this afternoon on the university campus, just east of North Hall, and the members of the class of '9S have arranged to dedicate it with unique ceremonies tomorrow morning at 11:15 o'clock. The "C'' is practically a bench. three feet wide. forming an octa- gon, one side of which is partly cut out, forming the "C," which stands for Cali fornia." It is to be congregating place for the seniors exclusively, who, when they graduate, will turn 1t over to the class of '99.
 Theidea of the Senior C. was first sug- gested by a letter from ex-F'ootball Cap tain Wilfred Ransome in which he de- scribed the famous Yale senior fence. Something original was wanted, so a senior e was decided upon.
 The dedication exercises tomorrow morning will. consist of music by the band, songs by a quartet, short humor- ous speeches and the mailing of a lucky be preceded by rifle salute of ninety eight shots, and will conclude with "clay-pipe smoker" each senior being provided with a pipe and tobacco.

WILL DEBATE
 AT BERKELEY The Fourth Annual Debate for the Carnot Medal
 To-Night.
Competitors for the Trophy Assigned Sides and Positions in the
 Contest.

BERKELEY, Feb. 10.-The fourth an- nual debate between California and Stan ford for the Cornot medal, offered in 1895 by Baron Pierre Coubertin of Paris, will take place at Shattuck Hall Berkeley, tomorrow night. The change from Stiles Hall to Shattuck Hall was made to-day on account of the insufficient seating ca pacity of the former.
 The drawing of names to determine on what sides and in what order the debat- CTS shall speak, took place thIs evening. A. H. Suzzallo of Stanford, C. E. Fryer of California and Miss Anna Strunsky of Stanford will speak on the affirmative side in the order named. The negative speakers will be A. J. Dannenbaum of California, A. B. Morgan of Stanford and George Clark of California.
 The debate will be upon the question, Resolved, that in the light of experi- ence further extension of the French CO., lonial system would be impolitic." c. A. Murdock, Charles P. Bells and Sheldon J. Kellogg will act as judges.
 The Carnot medal has been won twice by a California man-in 1896 by Martin C. F1aherty, now instructor in English at the university, and in 1887 by Harry A Overstreet. Last year the debate was held at Palo Alto.
 The Berkeley students expect a delega- ton of a hundred Stanford men to-mor- row and they are preparing, to entertain them in return for the cordial reception that the Stanford people accorded a party of visiting Berkeleyans at Palo Alto last year.
 gress to-day appointed the following members of the various classes a commit tee to receive the visitors: A. H. Allen and L. M. Parish, '9S; T.W. McPherson,J J. M. Mannon and Reno Hutchinson, '99; F. c. Dorety and Clinton Miller, 1900, and c. B, Cobb, 1901.

morning and are directly in line with that for which this paper has contend ed It has been a fight for the people and the people have won.
 When the Council met last night 1t was evident that the water companies were prepared to take advantage of every opening in order that they might win an increase, but the men who were standing for the best interests of the people were on the lookout and baked every scheme that appeared.
 At times the discussion became acri- monious and bitter, and even went to the extent of an indulgence in person. alities, but all the while the five mem bers who have shown their determina- tion to stand between the people and any increase of water taxation made such a firm stand that even those members who were trying to make changes were forced to vote for the people, and the ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote.
 Councilman Heitmann openedth war with an attack upon MT. Girard by saying that there was time when fools were appointed to office, but now

they were elected. Girard was on his feet in an instant, and for a while it looked as if there might be need of po- lice interference, but Heitmann was satisfied to keep silent after the scoring inflicted upon him by the indignant champion of the people. Girard brought forth the applause of the assembled citizens when he said:
 Yes, and there was a time when honest men were elected to office in Oakland; when men who worked, like myself, and who had visible means of support were members of the Council; when honest men, and not hoodlums, were elected"
 Councilman Cuvellier watched the op- position very closely, and checked ev- cry attempt to make changes in the re- port of the committee with the result that the report was adopted as made, and now the chances of the water com panies getting any joker incorporat- ed in the ordinance are very slim in- deed.
 That something of this sort will be attempted was evidenced by a very significant remark made by Council

A. ARLINGTON CONVICTED.

A. Arlington, man with an unenviable reputation, and, according to the District Attorney, confidence operator of no mean ability, was convicted of having ut tered fictitious order for the payment of money in Judge Wallace's court yesterday afternoon. Arlington took hack ride one night, and in payment placed in the hands of the agent of the United Carriage Company an order on a downtown firm to which he signed the name of s. H.

man Earl after the ordinance was passed. He reserved the right to in- troduce an amendment when the ordi- nance came up for final passage, and when this was objected to by President Pringle on the grounds that any amend ment should be made now as it's future introduction might jeopardize the le- gality of the ordinance on account of the time necessary for publication, Earl said: "Oh, we will fix it some way"
 The general impression made by this remark was that an attempt would be made to throw the ordinance over the legal time and then have it declared il- legal by the courts, but with the five stanch friends on the floor, backed by President Pringle with the deciding vote the people have nothing to fear on this score, and they may rest assured that Oakland water rates will remain as fixed in the report of the Fire and Water Committee.
 Those upon whom the people of Oak land can depend are President Pringle, Councilmen Upton, Brosnahan, Cuvel- Her, Girard and Rowe, and their solid front will prevent any scheme from be- ing consummated which will be detri- mental to their constituents.
 Following it's usual custom, the Ex- amjner took up the fight after The Call

When The Call sounded the note of warning to the people of Oakland two weeks ago there was every indication that there would be a concerted effort on the part of the two water companies of that city to have the Council make an increase of rates. The companies had announced what they were pleased to term an "agreement," and interested parties were busy with the Council men with arguments in favor of mak- ing change in the existing schedule.
 The Call took up the fight of the peo- pie against the water companies, and the City Council last night passed to print a water rate ordinance that fully bears out The Calls position and gives to the people the old rate while it makes a readjustment that increases the income to the companies from hy- drants and schools. These changes were outlined in The Call of yesterday
