SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
OROvILLE, Oct. 27.-Public an
nouncement has been made of the for
nation of a company of local capitalists
which will be of prime Importance
in the future development of Oroville
and vicinity. The purpose is to pur-
chase and acquire machinery to level
the piles of dirt around Oroville. Ma
chinery of the highest grade of eff1cien-
cy has been ordered. and 1t will be
operated by electricity. The ultimate
purpose of the company is to reclaim
this land for horticulture. 1t is pointed
out that the dredger does not take
away the soil, but merely reverses
natural conditions, the soil being on
the bottom and the rocks on top. If
it is claimed that certain classes OF
cling the ground will solve this prob
lem.
In order to satisfy himself on this
point James H. Leggett planted a num-
Der of fig trees on a dredger pile. The
first two years the trees grew but
slowly, the greater part of their growth
evidently being in the roots. This
year there has been most remarkable
growth in the stalk of the trees and
they are bearing we'll
The conditions indicate that hardy
trees such as the fig, pomegranate
date. etc, will live and thrive in this

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct 27.-Friends
of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
who mysteriously disappeared from

r. Cooley, chairman OF the Board of
Public Service. and told the latter that
he had received information which led
him to believe that Berkman had been
followed here by detectives, and that
they had procured his secret arrest, and
that he was now being held a prisoner
somewhere without due process of law.

The diameter of the snake was about
fifteen inches at the head. Its color
was dark brown, yellowish white at
