WILL FORM BIG
RAFT COMP ANY
Wisconsin Capitalists Are
Here in Connection With
Gigantic Logging Scheme
MILLION FOR SAWMILLS
Logs to Be Shipped From
the North to Plants at
San Pedro and San Diego

Unless Congress sees fit to interfere,
log rafting Is to become permanent
industry on the Pacific Coast. The
first step toward -insuring its per-
manency will be made some time this
week, when a big company Is to be
formed for the purpose of engaging in
the business on large scale. Among
yesterdays arrivals at the Palace
Hotel was r.. D. Pike. a millionaire
lumberman of Ashland, Wis, who has
come to San Francisco in the interest
of a big enterprise fathered by Captain
Robertson of Portland, who was the
pioneer in the rafting of logs from
northern ports to San Francisco Bay.
A few months ago Captain Robertson,
after demonstrating that rafting could
be made a profitable business, inter
ested Millionaire Hammond, the red
wood timber magnate and railroad
man, in a scheme that included the
establishing of big sawInills at some
point on the Oakland side of the bay,
where log RATS could be delivered from
the north and the material cut up into
lumber. Later, however. Hammond
withdrew from the scheme and Cap
tain Robertson went East, where he in
terested Millionaire Pike and several
of his Wisconsin business associates in
the project. Necessary capital was
raised and Captain Robertson returned
to the coast to perfect arrangements
for carrying out his scheme.
1t was decided to build sawmills at
San Diego and San Pedro, instead of
on the San Francisco Bay shore, and
with that idea in view, Captain Rob-
ertson has, through agents, been quiet
ly getting options on sites at the two
mentioned southern ports. Millionaire
Pike came West by way of the south
ern route for the purpose of inspecting
build the mills and then proceeded on
by Captain Robertson and others who
have been interested by Pike in the
enterprise.
log rafting company will spend about
cut about 100000 feet of logs each
year AS the RATS usually consist of
between eight and ten million feet of
logs. it is estimated that the company
will send down from the Columbia
River and Sound ports each year three
or four RATS, unless their mills at San
Pedro and San Diego are increased In
capacity or the Company decides TO
build an additional mill at this port.
This will be the biggest rafting
project ever undertaken In the world
and will naturally excite much inter
est, especially among the lumbermen
and the railroad companies, whose
business will be materially affected by
the success Of the scheme.

DIR. JOSIEN ACQUITTED
BY POLICE MAGISTRATE
Judge Conlan Holds That Charge OF
Having Caused Death of Mrs.
Lucey Is Not Proved

DR.. o. C. Joslen. accused by a Cor
oner's jury of having caused the death
of Mrs Frances Lucey of 704 Wash
ington street by performing a GRIM
inal operation, was acquitted yester-
day on the preliminary examination
by Police Judge Conlan, who stated
that the prosecuting testimony was
insufficient to support the charge.
Mrs Lucey died on the night Of
Friday, March 81, at the Pacific Hos
pital and made an ante-mortem state
ment to the effect that she was sub
jected to a criminal operation last
December by DIR. Joslen- The doctor,
however. testified at the inquest that
when the woman visited him for
treatment she told him she was suf-
fering from the effects of q surgical
operation performed by another ply
sician and that he Cdr. JosIen) sim
ply gave her some palliative and anti
septic medicines. Judge Conlan did
not consider a repetition of this de-
fense necessary before him, as the
prosecution utterly failed to connect
the defendant with the causes that
led to the woman's DEATH So the case
was dismissed without DR.. Joslen hav-
ing been called TO testify.

The Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company's liner Doric, Captain
Harry Smith. sailed at / o'clock yes
trimmed like a yacht and made one of
the prettiest departures seen at the
Pacific Mail wharf since Captain Rim
der left the service.
The promptness of the Doric's de-
parture was responsible for a slight
accident. At the end Of the wharf was
moored a State dredger. The 1 o'clock
whistle, at the sound of which the
Doric began to move, was the signal
10 the dredger crew that the noon hour
had expired. Promptly at the stroke
or the dredger's engineer started TO
swing the big boom which carries the
mud bucket The boom raked the
Doric'S forward Whaleback and carried
away an anchor davit. The damage
Gone was slight and caused no delay
