SOUTHERN PACIFIC
REACHING AGAIN.
Rivals and Citizens Think
It Is Trying to Appro-
pirate the Tidal Canal
TO TRUSTEES

OAKLAND, Oct 2.-Railroad fran
chises in which the Southern Pacific,
Western Pacific and Santa Fe are in
terested are among the matters at
present occupying the attention OF the
City Council and the Board of Town
Trustees of Emeryville. Much oppo-
sition has developed on the part OF
representatives of the Western Paclhc,
the Santa Fe, East Oakland residents
and several advancement organizations
to the franchise sought by the South
ern Pacific to construct a spur track
along the north side of the tidal canal.
thence around the east end of the
harbor to the California Cotton Mills at
Twenty third avenue. If the fran
chise should be granted. the Southern
Pacific tracks would completely close
in the eastern end of Oakland harbor
between the tidal canal and the Cali
fornia Cotton Mills, and in order to Sc
cure access to that portion of the har-
Dor other roads would have 10 cross
the lines of the Southern Pacific. The
Western Pacific and Santa Fe officials,
together with the residents in the
Twenty third avenue district, desire
that the City Council make the pro-
posed spur an open one so that any
railroad that wants to reach the east
ern end of the harbor may do so.
Ihe southern Paclnc mas already Sc
cured a franchise from the City Trus-
tees of Alameda for road along the
south side of the tidal canal on Bland
ing avenue from the Fruitvale avenue
bridge to Oak street. The franchise
was granted two years ago, with the
understanding that the road was to be
! built to accommodate the Dow Steam
| Pump Works, that it was then said
planned to erect a large manufactur-
| ing plant on the tidal canal between
/ Oak and Walnut streets in Alameda.
The plant has never been built and no
use has thus far been made by the
! Southern Pacific of the franchise
In Emeryville the Southern Pacific
petitioned the Town Trustees last
night to withdraw its application for a
franchise to lay tracks from its main
line to San Pablo avenue and filed an
amended application in more detail for
| franchise.
The Santa Fe has asked permission
of the Town Trustees of Emeryville to
run a spur track on Watts street across
PARK avenue to Forty-fifth street.
The City Council last night consid-
cred the application of the Central Pa
cific Company to lay spur track or
Cypress street between Fifth and Sew
enth Residents in the neighbor-
hood through which the proposed
road will pass protested against ths
granting of permission.

Selection of Stock.

Stock your farm with the animals
you like best. You need not have all
registered stock, but get the best you
can procure. Don't raise nor keep
scrub stock; they never will make you
any profit. If you don't admire n
horse, it probably will not pay you to
keep two or three brood mares. IL YOU
don't admire a fine milch cow, it will
not pay you to keep a dairy herd. other
than to supply your own use. If you
don't admire sheep, if you don't find
them attractive. then don't grow them.
for they will very likely never do any
good for you. If you are not and can
not be interested in any of the above
mentioned animals. then select some
thing you are interested in, something
that you do admire. For one must
have love for his line of work TO
make it most profitable. Men in every
part of the country are making money
from all kinds of live stock. some from
one kind, others from another kind.
Often the man who keeps nine or ten
mich cows thinks his neighbor who
devOtes all his attention to hogs and
none to cows, very foolish. But it all
depends upon the man and surround
ing conditions and q man ought to
follow his own natural abilities and his
own preferences. No matter what kind
of stock you select you ere doing IL
for special purpose; you have a def
mite end in view. No matter what you
want to accomplish, whether to pro-
mote growth. develop bone and muscle.
or spirit and nerve, to produce fat or
milk or wool. the animal must be the
one you admire and love to care for me
most, TO make your selection and pro-
fession a profitable one.-E. L. Morris.
