SACRAMENTO, Nov. 30.-A con-
test which promises to be one OF
the most sensational in the legal
history of California has begun for
the possession of an estate of $780,

named Steven A. Neal, as executor.
1t is believed that Neil, formerly a
barkeeper, was secretly married to
widow Buchanan. 1t Is also stated
that he had great influence over
her, and managed her affairs as her
secretary" In order to forestall
his action, Public Administrator

and the grade follows the water
level, skirting the shore in easy,
graceful curves. But each autumn
with the beginning of the rainy
season, trouble begins. The over
hanging cliffs are composed of al

The water runs in from above, and
soaks the gravel strata until the
formation is reduced almost to a
quicksand. Water will not pene-
trate the clay strata, the weight of
which from above forces the quick
sand out upon the tracks below.
These slides are of such frequent
occurrence that a novel method has
been adopted for removing them. A

occurring in one spot between this
city and Everett have cost James
J. Hill more than u million dollars
since the road was constructed 10
years ago. The piece Of road in
question is one of the most ex-
pensive to maintain in the United
States, and the cost of keeping it
clear has been sufficient to pay for
constructing concrete arch over
the track for a distance of three or
four miles.
The track at that point skirts the
shores of Puget Sound at the foot
of steep bluff. When surveyors
were sent to the coast Is years ago
to locate this line, Mr.. Hill gave

What is now required is capital and the
permission Of the Turkish Government,
but the difficulties are chiefly political.
The delta of the twin rivers is part Of the
country which the Bagdad Railway is
destined to traverse and therefore is terri

sphere Of influence. German cooperation
is absolutely necessary to get the good will
