NO DEPOT THIS YEAR
So Says Supt. 0Emstead. but an
Extension Win Probably be
Added to the Present
Building.

superintendent Olmstead, Assist
ant Superintendent Jones and En-.
gineer Harer spent Tuesday evening
in the city. In talking with Mr..
Olmstead he complimented the
council for ordering cement side
walks put down, "but" said be,
sswhy in the world did the council
ever permit the laying of u foo.
walks on your 100 toot Main streets
Nothing less than lo-foot walk
should have been put down. These
narrow walks are all right for the
residence section but they certainly
-poil the looks of your business
street and besides, they are not wide
enough to properly accommodate
the ordinary travel"
When asked il the new depot was
to be built here this year, Mr.. Ohm
stead replied, "No, you needn't look
for the depot this year. The plans
for the building are ready, but Why
It's construction has been laid over,
| am unable TO say. Instead of q
new depot, 50-foot extension TO
the present building wlll probably
be erected yet this season. We have
got to have more room here and j
see no way out of IL but 10 add an
extension to the old depot"
That doesn't sound very good,
but we guess there Is nothing TO do
but accept the conditions and look
pleasant.

him. / being like most boys in
town, full of mischief. Mr.. BALDWIN
concluded life in the country would
tame me down. So it was arranged
that | should go tc the Dodge farm
as chore boy-to wash dishes, carry
water to the men in the field and To
help cook at times.
AT that time the Pawnee Indians
were a powerful tribe, and they
often made their headquarters on q
bluff, overlooking the river, and
like all Indians in those days, they
could not always be relied upon.
Consequently the men always took
their guns with them i'm the field or
wherever they were working.
Now comes the first incident in
my life in connection with this par
ticular tribe of Indians. Among
them was one known as Pawnee
Charlie, big, lusty buck, with ears
and nose pierced and rings and
ornaments hanging therefrom. One
morning soon after the men had
gone out to plow he appeared at the
cabin atured III typical Indian garb
md bedecked with eagle feathers
and carrying a bow with quiver
full of arrows, whose sharpened
spears could be plainly seen. His
appearance was such as would strike
terror to the heart Of youth alone
in cabin. He sent in a short order
for breakfast telling me (he could
speak a little English) that | must
give him the best had or he would
kill me. Not wishing TO be scalped,
got a meal for my "guest" as best
ceuld giving HIM the bread, meat
and potatoes that had been left
from the mems breakfast. In a
draw Just east Of the cabin there
1 grew an abundance of wild straw
berries went out and picked a
dishful for him and fixed them with
cream, as we had COW to supply
us with milk.
When he finished his breakfast
and started away he motIoned FOL
me to come to his wickiup, which
did few days afterwards, wheI
> they had big feast of snakes ant
corn and a fat, yellow dog Tn
latter they had bought from an emi
/ grant outfit. Charley invited m
! to his wickiup to partake of nj
. 'smulligan stew" | ate a litti
/ Of the corn. but passed up the snake
: and dog. He then, he said for m
l kindness toward him, had his squa'
give me two pairs of finely beade
: moccasins.
e This was my first experience wit
e the Indians, but not my last, AZ
q counts of which will be given !

Gossip of the Track

The splendid showing OF S. c. Hill
dreth's two-year-olds in the Juvenile
race at Emeryville is receiving q great
deal Of attention in the Eastern press
It is pointed out that the $4,000 real
ized by Hildreth from the sale Of Fire
stone to President T. H. Williams Of
the New California Jockey Club repre-
sents so much clear profit, aside from
training expenses, as Hildreth bought
the youngster last summer for sII0O,
which is the exact amount Of the three
purses which the colt won for Hildreth
prior 10 his sale to Williams.
Last summer Hildreth expended about
$4,000 for the twenty yearlings that
he brought to the coast. The amount
which he received for Firestone and the
winnings of the youngsters that he has
raced here makes the remainder of his
two-year-olds stand him practically
nothing beyond the expense OF their de-
velopment. An Eastern turf publication
remarks with good ground that Hill
dreth's wonderful success in the two
vear-oId races at Emeryviile is a
splendid testimonial to his judgment
in selecting racing material and to his
knowledge OF training"
OF the twenty-three races for two
vear-olds so far decided at Emeryville

won II. ]. o. and G. II. Keene 4, Barney

Let the Academic Athletic League OF

greatest number of points
Such was the motion made by Prin-
cipal Poobar of the Cogswell Polytech-
nic College at the meeting OF the Aca-
demic League recently.
The delegates were in favor of the
scheme, and a committee consisting of
President Scaife. Charles Mel. H. Reeves,
r. L. Balzari and VIII L. Potts was ap-
pointed by Vice President ]. NJ Brewer
to make the necessary arrangements
for the event
Notifications of the ''run" have been
received by the city schools. The notf-
fication, written by the secretary Of the
league. contains certain rules and regu-
lations which will have to be lived up
to. The letter follows:
