PLANS A GREAT
CANAL PROJECT
Waterway May Connect
Red Bluff and Red
ding.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Oct. 6.-A great trust COM
pany is making Investigations regarding
the largest Improvement project yet un-
dertaken in Northern California. 1t en-
braces the acquiring of all the rich bot
tom lands between Redding and Red
Bluff, the digging of a great irrigating
paralleling Of the canal with an electric
railroad. The company having this scheme
in mind has been forced to the Pacific
Coast to find large investments for its
surplus and is attracted here by the min
ing activity of Shasta County. Its repre-
sentative, ]. n. Strayer has made a brief
visit to Redding and arranged with agents
for procuring all the data necessary to
determine the feasibility of the scheme.
Between Redding and Red Bluff
stretches thirty-flve miles of land which,
though not all valuable, will under irri-
cation grow almost everything. Strayer' s
idea is to procure as much of this land as
possible and bring water upon 1t by a
large ditch taking its supply from the
Sacramento River at this city. The
topogra phy faVors it's construction. The
land would be sUbdiVided into small hold
ings and families brought from the East
to farm 1t.
As an additional inducement to home
seekers, Strayer plans electric railway
giving easy access and ready means of
transportation. An important feature Of
this road would be that Ii would give the
nection with the head of navigation on
the river.
The profits Of the big project are to be
estimated as closely as possible, and IL
they be inviting the trust company is
ready to begin immedia tely.

None of them took effect but the pistol
was placed so close to his body that his
hands were powder burned and his clothes
took fire. Yee Ting was arrested by Off

the crime. The shooting took place at the
corner of Dupont and Washington streets.

but the death of Yee Kit caused a sudden
renewal of hostilities. The war is now on
in earnest and the police think much
murder will be done before a settlement
can be effected.
Yee Ting admitted that he fired the
three shots last night. He claims to be
cousin of the murdered man, Yee Kit,

HANDLING UNCLE
SAM s SOLDIERS
Army Transport Service
Is Being Gradually
Reduced.
Depot Quartermaster's De-
partment Is Made a
Separate System.

A slight change has been made in the
management of the depot quartermas-
ter's department since its separation
from the army transport service. Cap
tain Nathan p. Batchelder, who has been
serving as assistant depot quartermaster,
has been relieved and assigned to duty
as quartermaster on the army transport
Sheridan. AS the transport is not yet
ready for sea and may not be for some
time, owing to the strike conditions ex-
listing, other service may be ordered for
Captain Batchelder in the meantime.
There have been no changes made in
the army transport service and, accord
Ing to General 0. F. Long, who is in
charge of the service, none are con-
state of efficiency and the transports of
the United States Government are leav-
Ing this port on regular time.
Some few weeks ago it was decided to
separate the depot quartermaSter's de-
partment and the army transport service
master before the war and who organ
lied and managed the United States
army transport service over the Pacific
ocean, was given the choice of service.
Having organized the transport service
he felt a natural pride in the work and
chose to remain in charge of the vessels.
quartermaster and is now in charge of
that department. 1t was in the separa-
ton of the work and officers of the two
departments that Captain Batchelder re-
tired from his old position.
The trans-Pacific transport service is
now the only transport service that the
United States Government possesses. The
service to Cuba and Porto Rico has been
done away with, the few soldiers that
are being transported between the United
states and those points being handled
by the commercial lines. But the trans
Pacific service has been put on a regu-
lar sailing basis and has been left with
General Long for management. When
the Hancock left last week that vessel
sCiled on the two hundred and fifty-fifth
trip that has been made from the port
about two years. There are now fifteen
transports plying between San Francisco
and the Philippines and among the ISL
ands, all handled from this port The
service has been gradually reduced to
this figure though at one time there were
nearly fifty vessels, employing about 10,-
900 men, making a small army in itself
1t was this service that General Long
built up and which he Is now reducing
the work required of it by the Govern
ment. During all this time not a: single
life has been lost In crossing the Pacific
Ocean these many times.
There are no changes that 1 know of
contemplated in the transport service, -
said General o. f. Long 'since the SER
vice was separated from the work of the
depot quartermaster. Some slight
changes have been necessitated by that
OF course the transport service is being
reduced to the lowest and most econom-
ical limit consistent with a good service,
but that is all. "

~ AKLAND, Oct. 8.-By the mar
n N riage of Miss Ida Belle Palmer
ID and George Sterett Wheaton this
VI evening two of the most promi-
nent families in Oakland were
united. The bride, a charming girl of the
blonde type, is the eldest daughter of
Charles E. Palmer, cashier Of the Union
National Bank. The groom is in business
with his father. George H. Wheaton, the
well-known commission merchant of San
Francisco, and is a popular member Of
several of the principal clubs on both
sides of the bay. - He is also ardent
golf player and talented musician. Mr..
Wheaton is a grandson Of one Of the best
known Journalists in the State B. F. Ster-
ett, who was one of the founders Of the
San Francisco Bulletin, the old Alta Cali
fornia and The Call.
The wedding, which took place this
evening at the Jackson-street home of the
brides parents, was one of the very
pretty events Of the season. The decora-
tions, which were placed under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. Woodwork, were unusually
artistic; bamboo, long fern plumes and
huckleberry foliage forming an effective
background for lavish arrangement of
pink gladiolus and amaryllis. Tall bam-
boo branches were arranged to form a
bower lined with pink Duchess roses,
while overhead great true-love knot OF
white tulle held in place a large bell of
the same f1lmy material.
Here the bridal party stood while the
Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of st. Pauls
Episcopal Church, read the solemn mar
riage service.
The bride wore an elegant gown of
heavy white satin, the long train being
outlined with a drapery of tulle and or
ange blossoms. The bodice showed
berthe effect in rare lace. The tulle veil
was quite long and the shower bouquet
was of lilies of the valley.
The brides only attendant was her
sister, Miss Bessie Palmer, who was
gowned in pink liberty silk over pink
taffeta and carried Bridesmaid roses. Rob
ert M. Fitzgerald of San Francisco was
