Cuts Heavy TinberS
and Piles to
Splinters.

A sample of what a large vessel can
do when she gets off her course and
runs amuck was demonstrated yester-
day morning when the ferry steamer
Encinal from Alameda tried to make
a landing in her slip on this side OF
the bay. A fog obscured all objects
in the vicinity and in trying to feel
her way in the boat was caught by
the tide. She drifted south to the next
dock which is Mission No. 1. The
way the ferry steamer mixed 1t up
with the end of that pier was start
ling. She jammed her sharp PROV into
the corner of the wharf and the big
timbers became splinters. Piles were
pushed aside or broken by the impact
and the whole structure that received
the blow was wrecked. The boat con-
tinued on and struck the corner Of the
wharf shed, smashing the planking of
the partition into. fragments. A small
building nearf by was completely
wrecked and an employe of the wharf
who happened to be within escaped Sc
rious injury by jumping out through
the open door when he saw the steam
er's sharp stem cutting into the struc-
ture Fortunately no person was In
jured, as at that early hour the wharf
was almost deserted, and the Encinal
backed away and made her landing un-
damaged.

Other Prosecutions in the
IroquOis Theater Case
May Go Over for a Time
ACTION IN ABEYANCE
Failure to Convict Would

ing Against the Others
ACTION IN ABEYANCE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Following Judge
Kersten's decision yesterday to permit
the defense in the Iroquois Theater
case to pursue its motion for change
of venue to another county, Assistant
Stats Attorney Barnes has tentatively
decided to abandon for the present the
prosecution of Business Manager
Noonan and Stage Carpenter Cum
mings, and to place Will J. Davis on
trial alone. He will take no definite
steps to this end, however, until he has
conferred with States Attorney
Deneen and other officials.
In order to combat the motion for q
change Of venue, the State will have
to present many thousands of affida-
Wits to controvert those submitted by
the defense and the expense attendant
upon such procedure would be enor-
nous, it is said. If the county Off
cials suggest to Barnes that the cost
of the proceeding should be taken into
consideration, and Deneen does not OBJ
ject, Noonan and Cummings will be
put in the background and the prose-
cution's attention devoted entirely to
Davis.
IF we cannot convict Davis" said
Barnes, then there will be no use to
try Noonan and Cummings"

Transfer Man Arrested.

The harbor police officers stationed at the
union ferry building have begun work that
will earn them the gratitude of every traveller
who enters San Francisco by the transDay
route. swarm of transfer agents infest the
arcades of the great structure and make lie
miserable for the stranger who comes into the
city They gather around him and snatch at
his grip suit and If he looks gulliDle ne
will be promised free ride to any part OF
the city, providing the agent gets the transfer
of the baggage. OF course. no such promise
is ever kept and the victim is bied for "hat-
ever sum he may be made pay.

transfer man Saturday for violating the city
hack ordinance and disturbing the peace.
Miller met Henry Darby, a stranger. at
Third and Townsend streets. and to get the
transfer of the travellers suit case agreed to
haul him to the union ferry free of charge.

GREAT WATER SUPPLY.
The committee does not fail to call
attention to the great water supply
in Nevada County. The eastern part
of the county is crossed by the Sierra
Nevada Mountains. with peaks from
5000 to 5000 feet in height. The annual
snowfall in the mountains is from ten
to twenty feet From the snow clad
mountains flow the Bear, South Yuba
and Middle Yuba rivers, traversing and
bounding the county. The average
rainfall in the county is from As inches
in the lower lands to 75 inches on the
higher elevations. Years ago, princi-
pally for hydraulic mining purposes,
large and expensive systems of canals
were constructed, which have since
been greatly extended and have been
made to cover all sections and supply
water for power, mining and irriga-
ton.
During the dry season the water sup
ply is kept up by the use Of large res
ervoirs that have been constructed in
the mountains, having an average ca
pacity, on the western slopes of the
Sierras, of forty billion gallons. The
large and reliable supply of water, be-
ing used for power under high pres
e
liable and has been a great factor In
the development of deep mining.
The eastern portion of Nevada Coun-
ty is crossed by the Truckee River, the
outlet Of Lake Tahoe. The water from
this river supplies power for numbering,
manufacturing and mining.
The lands of Nevada County are fer
tile. The diversties of its climate are
due principally to the differences in
elevation. The snow capped Sierra
borders its eastern part and the west
ern county line runs well to the Sacra-
mento Valley.
Cereals, common to all California,
flourish well on the farming lands. The
foothills and mountaineS contain some
of the finest grazing lands in the State.
The finest supply Of apples and Bart
lett pears are produced up to an ele-
walton of $500 feet above the sea level.
Grapes, pruns, figs. olives and oranges
grow at lower elevations. One of the
best known creameries in the State is
in the Penn Valley. Settlers of mod
ern means can procure farming lands,
possessing a variety of soil, at S5 to
$40 an acre. Thousands of acres of land
ere used for pasture that need only
to be cleared of brush to become the
equal of any producing lands in Cali
fornia. Water can be had for irriga-
ton at a reasonable price There are
thousands of acres of timber land that
are to be bought at from $40 to $50
an acre.
The county has large numbering in
terests and there are other industries
of importance. The county is well
equipped with schools and churches.

class. which ought, by the way, to be in a
class Of its own. for with population Of over
Is 600 II is out of place in it's association with
children OF SO much smaller growth.
The spirit Of Alameda has always been
peculiar one. Many have condemned its citi-
being without spirit. This Is unjust.
Alamedsns have never been spiritless. They
have had plenty OF spirit, of a certain kind
a good kind. It has been of a kind to make
them take pride in their city as a place for
themselves to live in 1t has not been OF
kind to cause them to call the attention of
others to the advantages which they enjoyed.
For years they have had wonderfully up
to-date place of residence They have had
the spirit to see to IT that their schools were
second to none; that their streets were all
macadamized and kept clean; that their City
Hall was superior: that their Free Library
beautifully housed and well stocked; that
their sewer system was well appointed; that
their dairy and food inspection superior
to any other city on the coast that the city's
healthfulness was superb; that its freedom
from zymotic diseases was better than the
best and was nearly 80 per cent less than the
average.
They have had the spirit to see to it that
their city government has been free from cor
ruption. that when they built city hall a
high school building. free library building
the structures were erected at a cost fully AZ

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. Wv. A.
Ritz, a farmer, living near Walla

intelligence Of a Scotch collie dog,
which saved his master from a most
perilOus situation. Ritz was driving a

started for the horse on which the
farmer was riding. The animal
plunged and Ritz was thrown from the
saddle, his feet catching in the stirrup.
Ritz yelled at the horse to stop. The
frightened steed disregarded the COM
Tnand and was preparing to bolt when
ihe dog came back and began jumping
at the horses head, biting the animal
on the nose and forcing it back until
Ritz was able to extricate his foot.
Ritz escaped with q few bruises.
