LAYING OF TRACKS
is NOW COMPLETED
Works Board Stops Cars on
Stanyan Street Until the
Franchise Is Looked Into

Policeman Beach. attached to the
Board of Public Works went out to
Stanyan street yesterday for the pur-
pose OF stopping the work OF
track construction between Full
ton and Hayes streets by the
United Railroads. The board had
ordered work to cease pending the
determination of the question whether
the franchise granted in 1892 had been
forfeited. owing TO noR-user. Beach
found that the laying of the tracks had
been completed and ears were being
run thereon. Beach had no orders to
stop the cars from running, so he re-
ported back to the Commissioners OF
Works. The latter thereupon notified
the United Railroads to stop the run
ming of cars until it's attorney. James
A. Devote, had conferred with the City
Attorney on the matter.
Devote secured copy of the original
franchise from the Board of Super
visors The section requiring work to
be commenced on the tracks within
one year and completed in three years
contains no clause that the franchise
shall be null and void If work is not
so commenced. Another section re-
quiring the payment of . per cent year
ly of the gross receipts of the road.
contains a penalty of forfeiture if the
payment is not made The attorneys
will decide If the forfeiture clause ap-
plies to the on-commencement of
work in the specified time.

ASKS PERMIT FOR
A LONG SPUR.
Southern Pacific Wants to-
Lay Tracks for Fourteen
Blocks on Beach Street
BURKE IS GENEROUS

Jere T. Burke. the handy man of the
Southern Pacific Company, appea red
yesterday before the Supervisors street
committee to urge the granting of the
petition of the corporation for spur
track on Beach street, from Van Ness
avenue TO Lyon street. Ordinarily a
spur track runs for g distance of two
or three blocks. but the one now wanted
by the Southern Pacific Company is to
run for fourteen blocks.
Burke informed the committee that
the track was designed to connect the
belt line with the Government reserya-
ton, where transport docks are to be
constructed Burke said the company
has made application to the War De-
partment to continue the track into
the Government reservation.
Burke who was in generous mood.
stated that any other railroad company
would have the right to use the track.
but in view of the fact that Beach
street is public thorougnfare Burke
was not donating anything in that par
tieular Burke failed to state whether
other railroad companies would have
the right to use the connecting track
on Government land, and the commit
tee did not press him on that point. OF
course, If the tracks in the Presidio can
not be used by other companies the one
on Beach street would not do them
much good.
After listening to Burke's arguments
the committee decided to inspect the
proposed route of the spur track On
account of its length it may be that
a franchise for it will have to be
granted to the highest bidder.
The Southern Pacific Company was
granted a permit for spur track on
Bluxome street, from Fourth to Sixth,
on condition that other railroads shall
have the use thereof.
The Southern Pacific Company was
granted a franchise for a change in
the route of its bay shore line so as to
cross Twelfth. Thirteenth, Fourteenth.
Fifteenth and Sixteenth avenues, be-
tween p and @ streets South.
Spur track permits were granted to
the Santa Fe Company on HubbeH
street, between Arkansas and Seventh:
Indiana and Minnesota Streets near
Twentieth, and on Sixteenth street,
near De Haro and Rhode Island
Supervisors Phillips and Coffey de-
cided to file majority report in favor
of denying the application of Club
buck & Harris for permit TO lay
spur track at Howard and Twelfth
streets to connect with the main line
of the Ocean Shore Railway Company.
Chairman Rea was in favor Of granting
the permit but his colleagues took the
ground that the franchise of the com
pany was granted on the express con-
dition that no freight cars should be
run on the branch running from Army
and Vermont streets to Market and
Twelfth. The matter will be fought
out before the full board.

and investigating mind, IN earnes
seeker after knowledge, and above
oil, possessed OF wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In ls43 she married Isaac Pinkham
O builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and O
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in q physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many OF them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
In the study OF roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
beautifully provides In the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; SO, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
Il was her pleasure TO search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi.
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
tion OF the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure Of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia H. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and 1t became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as
labor Of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of Income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's |
Vegetable Compound was made known
20 the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to |
