SUIT MAY MEAN
MONEY FOR HIM
Lawyers for Macmillan
Uphold Contract With
the Board of Supervisors
STANDS TO WIN S21,79O
For Discovering Unassessed
Property the Claimant
Is Pressing His Demands
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway. Sept. II.

1O16 Broadway, Sept. IL.
Entangled by a contract by which c.
S. Macmillan hopes to secure from the
county treasury 81, 100, lawyers for the
Board of Supervisors to-day were en-
gagged in trying to prove to Judge Els
worth that the contract was a mean
ingless thing and was Of no value. NJ.
B. Kellogg of San Francisco and M. C.
Chapman of this city have the other
end of the argument and seem to think
the contract is binding.
The Board of Supervisors gave Mac
Mullan contract to expert the assess
ment rolls to discover property he
claimed was escaping taxation. He
was to get so per cent of the taxes col
lected on property he found, and in a
few weeks had placed on the assess
of the Contra Costa Water Company,
valued at $1,00O,000; the franchises of
the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Com
pany for Oakland, Alameda and Berke-
ley; the signal block system of the
Southern Pacific Company, also its
franchises for running ferries across
the bay, altogether aggregating nearly
s2,000,000. The taxes on these proper
ties amount to over $4,000. and he is
now suing for half this sum. The con-
tract was repudiated by the Board of
Supervisors.
The arguments to-day were upon a
demurrer to the complaint, but were
far reaching and went to the vital
points of the case. Attorneys Allen,
Shook and Church are defending the
county. The matter was submitted and
taken under consideration by Judge
Ellsworth

The Whistline Tree.

A species of acacia that grows very
abundantly in Nubia and the Soudan
is called the "whistling tree" by the
natives It's shoots are frequently dis
torted in shape by the agency of lar
vac of insects and swollen into a glob-
ular bladder from one to two inches
in diameter. After the insect has
emerged from a circular hole in the
side of this swelling the opening, play
ed upon by the wind, becomes a mus
ical instrument, suggestive of a sweet
toned flute. The whistling tree is also
found in the West Indies,

also an excellent pianist and is the

Misses Campbell, who had intended re-
naming here a few days longer.
Miss Estelle Kleeman, who has been
entertaining the Misses Campbell. will
make her formal debut late in October.

Kleeman has q clear, sweet soprano
voice that is being cultivated by Signor
Galvani.

Plans for the doll show are beginning
to formulate in the busy minds of the
West Oakland Home women, and al
ready dolls are assuming their gala
garb for the occasion. The doll show
is always the big affair of the first
week in December and friends of the
association begin to display an active
interest in the affair weeks ahead of
time.
Mrs. Hoffmans two little daughters,
Miriam and Elenor, started the ball
rolling recently with a penny bazaar,
planned and carried out with the as
sistance of several little playmates.
The bazaar took place at the home of
their grandmother, Mrs. A. Alexander,
on Twelfth street, and much to their
a1nazement and qualification they
cleared 81 so, which they promptly
turned over to the Little Workers Club
of the West Oakland Home for the
doll show fund.
The little Hoffman girls were assisted
in their thoughtful labor for children
less fortunate than themselves by Do
ris Crawford, Rita Lubelski. Hazel
Chase. Alma Kahn and Alice Williams.
The children's delight over their unex-
pected success has been somewhat
marred by the recent death of little

A WONDERFUL AGE.

Miles neutrality-suspicious. Being
Made by Telephone Company.

Bell Company now las a force Of men
lat work constructing a new line for
the distance of five miles and will be
in about ten days. The en-
tire line from Wilmington to Raleigh
will hen be on the poles of the tels-
company.
fact of the telephone. wires being on n
post would affect the service,
but it does and at times cry nue. The
Induction IS so great that when talking
lover a long distance telephone with
the line fastened to telegraph poles
one a often hear the ticking OF the
telegraph instrument and this worries
the party endeavoring to- carry ON a
conversation very much. The filling in
!of the gap will make the line from Will
IrningtOn to Raleigh far better than ever
before and under ordinary conditions
Ia conversation should be perfectly dis
Itinct.
It seems indeed marvellous for a con-
I~versation to be carried on a distance
Iof 1,SO miles, but this was done yes
Iterday by a Wilmington gentleman. He
put in a call for d party in Detroit.

before the party was at the Michigan
end of the line. The Wilmington gen.
leman and the Michigan man talked
for some minutes and hen with a"goCd

conversation ceased The Wilmington
imam said the conversation was as plain

hundred miles is about as far as a
conversation can be conducted in a sat-

in regard to h test farm fer
