ADOPTS OLD
WATER RATES
Oakland's Council of the
Opinion That Conditions
Do Not Warrant Change

OAKLAND. March 6.-The City
Council tonight re-enacted the water
rates of last year for the coming fiscal
year. This schedule is from Is to 80
per cent under the rates that are be-
ing collected by the Contra Costa
Water Company at present, an inju1e-
ton being in force against the 1904
schedule President Dernin, in pre-
sentfng the report on the rates sched-
ule from the COMMITTEES of the whole,
said:
1.-The company's statements show a
material increase during the year on
all the revenue producing fixtures ex-
cept the sale of water by meter. 1t is
therefore apparent that the application
of the rates fixed by the Council last
year would result. in large measure,
in a large increase in the company's S
revenue over that contemplated by the
schedule.
The committee therefore discussed
carefully the propriety of reducing the
hydrant rate, but finally concluded that
it would be fll-advised to complicate
the last Injunction case by having an
other schedule introduced this year.
However, your committee firmly be-
lieves and reiterates it's views Of last
year, that the values and rates estab-
lished last year are liberal and more
than fair and just to the company"
Dornin, for the committee, submitted
a. comparison of Oakland and San
Francisco rates and concluded:
'sAn these show plainly that the
rates fixed by this Council in 1894, al
though some 80 per cent below the
rates under which the water company
is now operating. are still far in ex-
cess Of the San Francisco rates"

The general theme of the discourse
was, Does salvation destroy the ap-
petites and passions for gambling, for
drink, for swearing, as well as the
many intellectual difficulties with
which great many men are
swamped?" In answering this he told
story about Mr.. Moody:
While Moody was preaching in an ILLINOIS
town during the earlier days of his career a
man drove up in his carriage and listened be-
tween the puffs of his cigar to the exhortation
or the young evangelist. Mr.. Moody inquired
who he was. He was told that his name was
Palmer. that he was the wealthiest man in
the county, owning almost one-third Of the
real estate in the town, besides large tracts Of
county land but man so given to the habit
of swearing that his wife and daughters were
ashamed to go out with him. Mr. Moody said
II VIII go out and him. and, notwith-
standing the warning that he would get moth
quite early found him at the front door Of
the rich mans house.
Mr.. Palmer seated on his porch greeted Mr..
Moody with the question, What do you
want?' Il wish to see Mr. Palmer" he re-
piled. That's my name; what have you
come for?'' Mr., Moody replied that he had
in the county that God had given him friends
and influence had given him wife and two
turned to God for his goodness had been oaths
and curses. IS 1t so?' he asked
N was not long before Mr.. Moody was in
vted in to pray with the swearer In the
afternoon service of that day Mr.. Palmer made
open confession of his faith in Christ and
begged his fellow-cftfzens to forgive him for
the life he had led Six years after this time
Mr.. Moody met Mr.. Palmer in California His
first question was, Palmer how about the
swearing?" II haven't swore since sir; God
flied me with something better" he replied.
There will be a special meeting in
the West Oakland railroad yards at
noon time tomorrow, to be addressed
by Rev. Dwight Z. Potter, Rev. H. H.

WHEELER HOUSE
As A HOSPITAL
President Seems to Approve
Plan to Make Mansion
a Resort for the Sick
SENDS WALSH A LETTER
Communication of Health
Officer of Berkeley Is
Sent to the Legislature
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center street, March 6.


214S Center street, March 6.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler has
informally approved of the plan to
make a university hospital of the un-
finished mansion built for his use by
the regents, but never occupied by
him. The president has forwarded to
Assemblyman Philip M. Walsh of Oak
land, now at Sacramento, a letter sent
to Wheeler by DIR. Reinhardt, univer-
sity physician and also health officer
of Berkeley, in which DR.. Reinhardt
shows how the mansion that was to
be President Wheeler's could be fitted
up for hospital purposes and made self
supporting.
DIR. Reinhardt takes into considera-
tion the fact that the Legislature has
agreed to appropriate $4,000 with
which to complete the big stone house
on the hill. The money could we'll
be spent, DR.. Reinhardt says, in max
ing the building first-class hospital
There are 5000 persons in and about the
university, the physician argues, who
would be eligible to admission to the
place when i'll, and an annual fee from
them of 81 each would provide $4,000,
or sufficient to support the institution,
with private contributions that might
be made. There is now in the regents
hands, 1T is said, several thousands of
dollars that might be used for this
hospital project. The money referred
to represents property once owned by
the Berkeley Hospital Association, a
university adjunct that sought to es-
tablish hospital in Berkeley.
The project failed because Of the op-
position of property owners who OBJ
tected to locating the proposed hos
pital near their residences. The prop
erty of the association was then sold
and the proceeds were given. to the
regents with the understanding that
they would be applied to the securing
of beds IN hospital for sick students :
1t is said that President Wheeler
would favor using the uncompleted
mansion on the hill as his own resi-
dence instead of for hospital if the
regents would agree to give him, in his
new mansion, the money now paid for
the rental of his present home. This,
however, the regents have shown no
signs of desiring to do. and accord
ingly the hospital project is expected to
prove the final solution of the problem
presented by the white elephant" in
the shape of the big stone house.

Costly Relics

The Guides Of EARLY Days Now Re-
garded as Rare and
Costly Relics.
1t Is Just sixty-five years ago since
George Bradshaw the Quaker engraver
rnapmaker of Manchester, England,
was first inspired to publish his Thine
Table" 1t was tiny pamphlet bound
in green cloth, and was nothing more
than a collection Of the monthly time
tables issued by the seven railway
companies then In existence in Eng
land OF this volume there are now
only four copies In existence, but they
are worth their weight in gold.
So encouraged was Bradshaw by the
success of this time table that in 1910
he published his Railway Companion, Z"
a volume of thirty-eight pages with
maps which sold at a shilling. These
early guides were published rather ir-
regularly because of the difficulty of
learning the changes in times from the
railway authorities. They resented
Bradshaw's interference and put every
obstacle in the way of his obtaining in
formation At last, through the
Quaker's perseverance, they finally
agreed to adjust their time tables by
the beginning of the month. There
after it was smooth sailing. The guide
continued to grow and prosper and to
make itself a necessity.
These early railway guides make in
teresting reading. The trains are de-
scribed as first-class, second-class.

travellers had the choice of sitting on
the roofs or in open wagons resembling
cattle trucks. Gentlemen riding in
their own carriages were charged

sat there were cautioned to wear their
overcoats and provide themselves with

The American Magnesite Company,
which owns the famous Red Mountain
mines south Of Livermore. has closed
it's deal for large section of water
front in Oakland and will at once be-
gin constructing its manufacturing
plants. The company has bought
nearly. thirty acres of water front in
East Oakland on what is known as
Sessions Basin. This water front prop
erty was owned by J. l.. de Fremery.
who is IN the East, and the deal was
concluded through E. p. Vandercook,
his agent on this coast.
The property has long frontage
upon the East Oakland basin, and is
directly on the line of the new work
that is being outlined by the Federal
Government and for which the last
Congress has appropriated S250,00O.
There is ample area for the different
plants that will be erected by the
Magnesite Company for the handling
of their ore. One plant will be for
the manufacture of fire brick, an
other for the manufacture of a patent
building material, a third for the
manufacture of carbonie acid gas, and
in addition there will be wharves and
bunkers for the shipping of their ore
to Eastern and foreign ports in bulk.
The deal will mean the employment
of many men in Oakland. and many
more in the Livern1ere district, from
which point the ore will be shipped to
Oakland.
The Board of Supervisors has
undertaken to build a good road from
Livermore to the mines, and a con-
tract for the work was let some
months ago. Harry N. Morse con-
tested the legality of the award be-
fore Judge Sloss of San Francisco and
the Supervisors were to-day notified
that the proceedings were Illegal. The
board has already started new work,
and Road Overseer Dave Mcdonald of
Livermore has now the petitions in
proper shape and at the next meeting
of the board bids will be advertised
for.
