WILL BUILD HOTEL
ON DIABLO'S SUMMIT
Oakland Capitalists Revive
Plan to Locate Summer
Resort on Mountain Peak

MARTINEZ. Sept. 22.--A hotel will
be erected on the summit of Mount
Diabio, fifteen miles from here, by the
end of next June If the plans of sew
erai Oakland capitalists are carried
out.
The idea of building large summer
resort on the mountain peak was agi-
tated as far back as 1873, when a CO.
terie of Eastern millionaires formed q
stock company and had plans drawn UP
for the structure, which was to have
cost more than 100000. For some un-
known reason the building was aban-
doned and UP to within the last two
years the matter had not taken definite
form.
1t is proposed to extena branch of
the Clayton and Bay Point Aelectric road
to the summit of the mountain for the
accommodation OF sightseers A right
of way can be secured for the asking.
Several parties of men have recently
driven to the peak to look over the
proposed site, and, while refusing to
give their names, expressed themselves
as satisfied that the broad plateau on
the top would make an ideal location
for such resort as they propose erect
ing.

down off their perch, as his men wanted
to souse the roof in good style.

WAR OVER LANDING
At AVALON.

SAN PEDRO, Sept 22.-A feet of
eight gasoline launches started for
Avalon, Catalina Island, this morning.
having on board several hundred pas
sengers, who went over with the
avowed intention of making landing
on the island without paying the $2.25
per head which the Banning Company,
owners of the island demand.
Commodore X H. Heller, owner of
the big gasoline launch San Diego, was
in command of the expedition, and 1t
was in the nature of retaliatory
measure, as the Southern Pacific Com
pany and the Banning Company, who
control the wharves here, have refused
to give the San Diego a berth.
The men on the launches were armed
with wire nippers to cut the barbed
wire fences the Banning Company has
placed along the shor at Avalon.
The matter OF making Avalon an
open port has been in the courts for
several years, and a bill has been be-
fore the Legislature, but the Banning
Company has so far successfully re-
sisted all efforts with the one excep-
ton of that of the members of the
South Coast Yacht Club, which is pro-
vided with passes by the company.
AVALON, Catalina Island, Sept. %
(by wireiess) AT 2:i5 o'clock this af-
ternoon the steamer San Diego and the
launch Mckinley arrived here and were
promptly forced off the dock by a
stream of water. The. vessels then pre-
pared TO land boats. The bay had been
fenced in at mean high tide, and about

SPECIAL DlsPATcH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
vIsALIA, Sept 21.&what promises
to be an interesting and hard fought
contest between the San Joaquin Power
Company of Fresno County and the Mt
whitney Power Company of this city
was commenced yesterday when an ac-
tion was instituted by A. G.. Wishon,
president of the former company
against the Mt. Whitney Company ASK
ing for a perpetual injunction restrain
ing the latter company from appropri-
ating or diverting any water from Iuie
River in such a manner as to deprive
plaintiff of the full dow OF the stream
The complaint recites that the plain
tiff company has appropriated and is
entitled to 1000 cubic inches or water
per second, to be taken out OF Tule
River at a designated point. and 10 De
conveyed by means Of bitches or humes
to a power house located on the banks
of the river to be used for the genera
tion OF electrical energy.
In opposition to this the Mt Whitney
Power Company asserts its right TO
100 cubic feet of water per second, the
same TO be taken out of the stream at
point just above the place of plain
tfff's diversion. AS this amount of
water is, at all ordinary times, equal
to the entire flow OF the stream, thep
result of such action would be to de-
prive the San Joaquin Power Company
Of all water.
The suit for an Injunction has been
precipitated by the fact that the Mt
Whitney Power Company has on the
ground a large force of men with
teams and tools, and is actively pre-
pairing to throw large dams across the
river at the point where they intend
to divert the water.
1 After recittng all these facts in the
complaint the San Joaquin Power Com
pany asks for decree Of court estab-'
/ fishing the priority of its claim to 1000
inches of water, and asking that the
claim of the Mt. Whitney Company to
100 cubic feet be subordinated; also for
an Injunction forever restraining the
defendants or others from putting in
dams or Instructions above plaintiffs

comparative novice. He was slow
when he fought frankie Neil and
seemed to fairly drag his feet out of

of boxing believe Hanlon will have to
fight cleverly to defeat Hyland. If
he starts to mix with the latter some
body will get hurt before the bout has
gone far. If Hanlon can so puzzle
Hyland as to make the latter miss
him repeatedly he is expected to bring
home the long end of the purse.
