BERKELEY, Nov. 1S.-Pleasant sur
prise was occasioned on the campus
this week by the announcement of the
engagement of Miss Emma r. Blacow
to wed Robert O. Hoedel. The news
came from Los Angeles. Both are uni
versity graduates. and the romance is
looked upon as one of the many that
are credited to the association of
"co-eds" with college men under the
oaks on the campus.
Miss Blacow was member or the
Enewah Club and was widely known
socially in university circles during her
college career. She was a member Of
the class of 1906 and was registered in

sober up he realized his position and

by Real Estate Men
OAKLAND DOING WE'LL

OAKLAND. Nov. 1s.-Real estate
dealers in all parts OF Oakland COM
mend the action Of Mayor Frank k,
Mott and the members of the City
Council in providing for the acquire
ment by the city Of lands for public
parks.
The attitude of Oakland real estate
men regarding the purchase of park
sites is well expressed by George W.
Austin. one Of the best known brokers
on the eastern shore of the bay, who
said today:
I hear that within a few weeks
we are to be given the chance 10
vote to acquire several good park
sites, and when we get it I hope every
body viii take advantage of the OPP
portunity. I am willing to do any
thing TO help Oakland own some good
parks. and il she does not buy them
right now prices viii be so high in
year or two as to be prohibitive-
AS soon as the campaign for parks
is begun let US all take hold Of il in
earnest and boom and boost until We
have a unanimous sentiment in favor
of the movement Busy as l am,
would regard il as time well invested
10 take e day of and go out and hustle
I'D votes and create interest in favor
Of the park project. Now is the time
for Oakland to keep moving. We have
a tremendous start, and the future
looks brighter every hour. Don't let
us hesitate a moment I understand
that Mayor Mott and his advisory COM
mittee have given lots Of time to the
preparation Of this park scheme, and
for heavens sake let's all get behind
81 and push il along.
GOOD BUSINESS MOVE
No better advertisement could be
sent out than the fact that Oakland
has voted enough money TO purchase
ample park sites. We now have plenty
Of civic pride, plenty of opportunity
plenty of good schools. and the only
thing lacking. with the exception of
new City Hall, is a system Of parks
Now we are wealthy enough TO get
them. and let Us have them"
Other real estate men express the
same opinion as does Mr.. austin and
are agreed that the purchase Of park
lands by the city can have but one
effect on the local market, that of
stimulating it to renewed activity.
They declare that the establishment
Of a public park in any part of city
at once makes thas portion of the
community more desirable, as every
one seeking q home likes to be near a
place Of recreation
A summary of the records of the
building inspectors Office, just COM
piled by Secretary FaWcett of the
Board Of Public WORKS, presents some

growth of the city Of Oakland in the

sued for the erection of new buildings
within the city limits shows the total
value of the new structures erected
between April, 1905. and October, 1906,

INDIANS BECOMING
SELF-REL|ANT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The an
nual report OF Francis E. Leupp. Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs. was made
public today. He says that no Con-
gress passed so much legislation of
vital Importance to the Indians as the
last session of that body.
To promote the training of the In
dams in the culture OF sugar beets, and
to secure legislation looking to an
equitable division of tribal funds,
thereby making the red man a free
and independent citizen. are the two
projects for which the Commissioner Is
working hardest as future accomplish
ments. To carry out the beet-sugar
plan legislation is needed authorizing
the extension Of Indian land leases be-
yond the five-year period.
Regarding the allotment of tribal
funds. the Commissioner says that
while he would prefer notifications in
the Lacey bill. which passed the House
and is now before the Senate, he would
rather see this measure become a law
than to have no action taken.
The expenditure for the Indians for
the past fiscal year aggregated s12.-
745,859. The Commissioner explains
that the items of largest increase were
the ones fulfilling the treaty stipula-
tions-$1, It's, 921-and the irrigation
project, on which S3,194,793 was spent
Mr.. Leupp declares that the Burke law
of last session will enable the Indian
Office to manage the affairs of the help
less class of Indians with undisputed
authority and to remove from the roll
of wards and dependents the large and
increasing number of Indians who no
long need any supervision from a
bureau in Washington.
Like his white neighbor," Leupp
said. "the Indian is of more than one
sort. ranging from good degrees Of in
telligence. industry and thrift, TO the
depths of helplessness, ignorance and
vice"

thorship the words probably" and

The Porte accepts the British De

London May 12.-The Porte. in a manner
Characteristic of Turkish diplomacy. has made
an eleventh-hour surrender to the British de-
mand concerning the Tabah boundary 1t had
been believed in many quarters that the Sultan
would not yield until actual force was dis
played but his decision probably was hastened
oy the knowledge that none of the powers sup
ported his attitude and the fact that British
naval preparations had kept pace with her Dip
lomatic demands
Sir Nicholas R. O'Conor the British Ambas-
sador at COnstantinople in his earlier dispatches
mad prepared the British government for Tur-
Keys compliance, and little attention need be
paid to the reports of a conditional surrender
that phrase probably being intended to satisfy
the Turkish people At the Foreign Office to-
night 1t was learned that it highly i'm
probable that Great Britain would accept any
thing in the nature OF mixed or international
commission to examine into the frontier ques-
tion' and the Foreign Office declined to believe
that Ambassador OConor had accepted any
conditional surrender.
1t Is understood the British feet will be kept
at Phalerum Bay pending final settlement of
the question and the delimitation Of the frontier

manding the fleet, with his officers, was able
tonight to attend dinner at the British Lega-
ton in Athens, at which King George and the
royal family the Greek Premier and the Ameri
can and French Ministers were guests.
When the delimitation of the boundary is set
tied it is expected that the British government
will take measures to render Egypt strategically
secure against any similar aggression by estab
fishing strong Egyptian garrison and fortify-
ing FL Arish and if the water difficulty in the
desert region can be solved. by placing Egyptian
garrisons at points the desert routes from
Tabah and GAIA, along which an invading army
might threaten the Suez Canal It is also not
unlikely that Great Britain will demand the
withdrawal of the Turkish commissioner at
Cairo Ghazi Ahmet Moukhtar Pacha, who is
thought to have fostered anti British agitation.
