FRICTION AROUSED
BETWEEN CLUBS.
New Sutter-Street Organi-
zation Is Favoring the
United Railroads Fight
OLD-TIMERS ANGERED

Where there was but one improve
ment club and harmony on Sutter
street previous to the fire, there are
now two clubs and much friction
among the property owners on the
street. The old club was known sim
ply as the Sutter Street Improvement
Club, and the chief object of its ex-
istence< had come to be the fight for
the conduit electric car system on that
thoroughfare. The new club is known
as the Sutter Street Property Owners
Protective and Improvement Assoeia-
ton. 1t had it's birth when DIR. Julius
Rosenstirn and other members of the
old club refused after the fire to con-
tinue the fight for a conduit electric
SYSTEM
The members who were loyal to the
original organization talk with bitter
ness about the newer club with the
longer name. 1t is claimed that the
United Railroads has brought iuiu-
ence to bear which has won many OF
the property owners from the original
organization.
DR.. Julius Rosenstirn Is the president
pro TEN. of the new association. An
effort was made TO secure the name of
Frank ]. Sullivan of the Sutter Street
Improvement Club on the rolls of the
new club, and he was offered the treas
tenn, wrote to Sullivan about the place
he might have and the latter refused
with display Of sharpness which has
not led to a closer afflliation of the old
and the new. Sullivan proclaimed his
loyalty to the old organization. which,
he pointed out, was still in existence
and he reverted to the need OF a conduit
electric system. He said he had not
forgotten that the United Railroads had
seized two additional feet on Sutter
street without due process of law" and
that the corporation had left the high
way in ugly shape. In closing, he as
serted that too many clubs having the
same object in view would tend to
weaken their position before the pub
lie
With the news of the rupture in the
ranks of Sutter-street workers comes
the word that there is lack of harmony
in other Improvement clubs and that
the United Railroads is at the bottom
of the friction, the report having it that
the street car combine is seeking to
introduce conciIiatory Ieaven into these
organizations.
In the Mission Improvement Club
George L. Center is said to be working
for propositions which are favorable to
the United Railroads and that new
organization, known as the Mission
Promotion Association, has been found
ed. In the Richmond district Jack Cas-
sidy is said to have gained control of
the Point Lobos Improvement Club and
is spreading the Calhoun gospel among
the people of that section of the city.

WATER GIVES NEW
PROS S''ER|TY.

C. ]. Blanchard, statistician of the
Reclamation Service, who is en- route
TO Yuma. Ariz-. is at the ST Francis
Speaking yesterday of the work of
reclama ton in Nevada Blanchard said
that a remarkable transformation has
taken place within the past two years
in Carson Sink Valley.
This valley" he said. occupies the
bed of the ancient Lake Lahontan and
since the days of the Forty miners has
been regarded as one of the driest
and most unattractive sections of the
State. All agriculture has been subor-
dinated to livestock raising. and the
true value of the country was not
appreciated until the Government Sc
lected the valley as the location for
the first of its great irrigation pro-
jects. The old-time rancher practically
performed his work on horseback, and
as result the most certain and lucra-
tive lines of farming have been ne
elected. A change has come with the
completion of the great canals of the
Government, and attention henceforth
will be given to special branches of
agriculture.
For the reason that the valley has
so long enjoyed an unenviable noto-
riety as a worthless desert. it has been
somewhat difficult to attract settlers.
The excellent crops harvested this year,
however, will go far to dispel the
notion that the lands are not fertile.
A census of the irrigated crops in the
valley shows that the average returns
per farm were $500. not counting the
value of crops fed to livestock or the
value Of the livestock sold.
There are countless opportunities
for farmers who understand the spe-
cial lines of agriculture. Dairying will
pay handsomely. as butter is in de-
naand throughout the year for twenty
FIVE TO forty cents per mound. The
poultry business is neglected. although
eggs sell for forty cents a dozen and
chickens for twenty five cents per
pound. Truck farming offers great
profits. One farmer took $500 worth
of tomatoes from less than an acre
Hog raising is also a most profitable
industry The local demand is large
and there is no pork in the valley to
supply it.
"A branch line of railroad from Ha-
zen to Fallon brings the best parts Of
the valley within easy reach of trans
portation and affords an outlet to San
Francisco for the surplus products
grown. 1t will be some time. however,
before there is any surplus, as the
local demand is growing very rapidly
owing to the opening up of new min
ing camps in the hills surrounding the
valley"

GIGANTIC COMPANY
To SUPPLY CARS.

CHICAGO. Oct. s.-PIans are on foot
for the organization of a gigantic rail-
way equipment company, the object of
which viii be TO take the place of
private car companies in furnishing
refrigerator, livestock and other special
kinds OF cars to the railways at the
seasons during which they are required
by the different lines.
1t is proposed to capitalize the pro-
jected company at sI00,o00,000. 1t will
not be a. private, but strictly a railway
enterprise, the stock of the corporation
being held by the various railway com
panies and the profits prorated among
them.
The plans for the equipment company
are being worked out by ]. W. Midgly
Of Chicago, a car-seryice expert. Midgly
said tonight that according TO present
plans the proposed company would be
in working order in less than three
months.
