the papers of the various contestants
and sized them up from that stand
point Frequently the man who
makes the best impression on the au-
dience because of his declaiming may
fall the lowest on his subject matter.
The University was once badly defeat
ed in the final contest because the eff

He was also for some years one of the

he did not assist literally, and he always

that of 81 and that of Sc, and he did his

with the vice presidency of the Society of
California Pioneers. of which he was one
of the oldest members, and his interesting
narratives of his travels through Europe
and Mexico are perhaps still fresh in
memory of his confreres of that organiza-
ton.
He was family man, devoted to his
wife and children and very domestic in
his tastes. The bubble and excitement of
the political sea had no charms for him.

Oakland Held Up for an In
crease of Thirty-one Per
Cent for Water.
Held Off Till Yesterday SO That a Deceptive
Appearance Can Be Made Before
the Council in February.

by the announcement that the stock of
the Contra Costa Water Company had
taken a sudden Jump from $50 to $50 per
share and S63 was being refused. Last
Friday the stock could not be sold for $50
1t was openly stated that the Contra
Costa had absorbed the Oakland or Din
gee Company, and that henceforth there
was to be no competition.
One of the most prominent men con-
nected with the companies was asked to-
night by Call reporter If the report were
true. He partially confirmed the start
ling information.
There has been no consolidation yet,
he said, but the two companies will GER
tainly come together. No other course
can be expected, and negotiations have
been pending for some time between the
two companies.
The Contra Costa has got to the end
of its rope, and its rival is as badly off.
When the competition began the Contra
more than half of its bonds. Now 1t mas
used them all, and has not paid cent
in interest on stock for four years.
when you see stock jump suddenly
from so to 65 you may know there is
something substantial behind it-and
there is. AS yet, however, the two com
panies have not consolidated. The past
season has shown that the two companies
together only have about enough water to
supply Oakland, and competition is no
longer possible. Two years ago the Con-
ira Costa people wanted to buy out their
rival, but Dingee wanted altogether too
much. Now 1t is different. and the two
must and soon will come together.
The Contra Costa Company has been
forced to open an immense pumping plant
at Alvarado, and this has cost 1t nearly
one-fourth of its entire bonded indebted
ness. Both companies fully realize that
their combined plants are necessary to
tide Oakland over a dry year, and they
also realize that for the protection of
their stockholders they must come under
one general management. This is the sit
uation that caused the stock to jump so
heavily in to-day's market. I hear that
to-day although 63 was offered. Some
changed hands, however, at 6S That is
the whole story, and absolutely reliable"
