TROUBLE BREWS
IN THE DAVE
EXPRESS LINE
Ex-Mayor No Longer
the Manager.
DISCHARGED ON THE FIRST
he PROBABLY WILL NOW RUN
IN OPPOSITION.
Old Concern Is to Be Incorporated
and Lively Fighting for Trade
viii Ensue-Davis Is Ac-
cused of Sharp Practice.

There is trouble in the camp Of the
Davie freight and express line of
steamers that run between San Francisco
and Oakland in opposition to the South
ern Pacific John l.. Davie is out. The
other members of the concern say he was
discharged III October, and now Oakland's s
eX-Mayor expects to make it interesting
for someone.
Incidentally Davie is going to establish
another line of steamers and in few
days he promises to have the Emma run
ming in opposition to the Mount Eden. At
the same time he is making a bold bid
for everything belonging to the Davie
freight and express line he can lay his
hands on. Yesterday he sent men to the
Clay-street bulkhead to put a telephone
in the office in his name. He lays claim
10 the berth used by the Mount Eden,
and George E. Roland the principal
owner in the concern, was before The
Harbor Commissioners yesterday to lodge
a protest. He was told that Davie could
not have the berth. and that if he started
the Emma on the route another location
would be given him.
4 few days ago Davie put scratch"
crew aboard the Emma and took cargo
of cement from Mission-street wharf to
Oakland; The stuff was contracted for
by the Mount Eden, but Davie bundled
the $50 barrels aboard the Emma, carried
1t to its destination at Oakland and col
l6CleU the lTGlSDC on II.
The Davle freight and express line
was formed about six years ago by Cap
tain NJ. Andrews, then master of the Stock
ton steamer Dauntless, George E. Roland,
then chief engineer of the T. c. Walker
and A. B. Dorell, then purser of the
steamer ]. D. Peters. About that time
the Davie scent ferry had collapsed for
want of snews of war and John L. Davie
was deprived of his chief hobby The
three gentlemen named wanted name
for their new freight line, and thinking
| Davie one to conjure by, got his consent
to name it the Davie freight and ex-
press line.
Davie had no interest in the venture
save that he was to get a commission on
any business he might send to the boat.
| The steamer Emma was purchased and
put on the route. At first she did not
prove a paying venture, as the general
public seemed to be tired of Davie and
anything with which he was connected
Dorell and Andrews sold out, and Cap
brother Of John L. Davie, bought IN. The
cern, and while he had no money invested
in the line, still he got the same pay as
Roland, who was engineer of the vessel,
and Johnson. the master.
Things ran along in this way for years
/ and the Davie freight and express line
grew and prospered. The Emma became
| too small for the trade and the Mount
| Eden was purchased Roland put UP all
! the money and John L. Davie and Cap
! tain Johnson were each given an option
| on a third interest in the vessel. The
| Emma was used as an extra boat but a
! short time ago there was a chance tc

Books for the Sailors.

Rev. R. +. Steele, chaplain on the train
ing ship Hartford. which is soon to start
on her cruise around the world with a lot
of apprentices has made a request of the
public to assist in providing library for
the benefit of the young men. In conVer-
Steele learned that the young sailors
would be much benefited If they had a lot
of magazines to read during their leisure
moments. and any of the standard works
and periodicals would be most acceptable
He says that any contributions of this
nature can be left at the rooms of the
Young Mems Christian Association build

MOBILE AS 4
 SHIPPING POINT
New Line of Steamships Will Make the Alabama Port
 Rival New York.

Chicago. August 9o.-The Record tomor- row will say:
 "Beginning Friday the new. steamship line to be opened jointly by the Horsley Steamship company of Great Britain, the Mobile and Ohio and Southern Railway companies and the Mobile Steamship Ter minal company will be an active competi- tor for southern and western export busi- ness. In transportation and shipping cir cles the establishment of this line the ves- sells of which will ply between Mobile and New York and the ports of the West In- dies, Central America, South America and Europe, has been regarded as long felt want, bordering close to the necessity. Much is expected to result from the es- tablishment of the line.
 Generally speaking, the Southern traf- fic officials say that Kansas City and Oma- ha are destined to lose their pre- tige as great gate ways and that as port for western export products Mobile will rank next few years. The officials of the new line say that their vessels and the south- ern roads will afford route to Liverpool for Missouri river Shipments in the neigh borhood of 700 miles shorter than the route via New York.
 At present 1t is not known how many vessels will be operated by the joint com pany, but the Horsley people have agreed to provide carriers for all business arrang- ed for by the other three parties. It is expected that within a reasonably short time the steamship line will be one of the largest of it's kind in the world.''

Selecting the Breeding Female.

While fuily realizing the importance of the male farm stock breeding, due importance should be given to the se- lection of the female in order to ob- tain tae highest grade progeny. Short ness or chubbiness of form in the fe- male should be carefully avoided. as such animals are not good breeders. of course. the opposite extreme is just as objectionable, Tke animal should be clean cut, with d fine head light jaw and long neck. The limbs should be delicate and of good length-that is, they should not be short and knotty nor yet long and thin. When the cow has horns avoid choosing for breeders those with short thick horns. It is difficult to describe the ideal animal. but the points are instinctiyely appar- ent to any close observer. In short. probably the best way to judge is to decline any female that has a mascuI- inc look in any marked degree, for LIS may be safely taken as an indica- ton that she will fall short of the mark, in some important respect, as a breeder
