strange that we should be compelled
to ask what is our duty; yet such was

Judge r. H. Terrell. in discoursing
on Race Unity" called attention to
the peculiar heritage that the race
had received from slavery, which was
especially calculated to weaken and
destroy race unity, and he hailed the

MUST FORFEIT
THEIR PROPERTY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-The
long and spirited contest to secure
cheaper water rates Tor San Francis
co eliminated In drastic action To-
night, when the board Of supervisors,
after three hours of stormy debate
adopted resolution declaring the
franchises and works OF the Spring
Valley Water Company, variously es-
timated TO be worth from ST 100000
TO $52,000,00O, forfeited and escheatad
TO the city and county of San Francis
co for the public use and benefit.
Before the seized franchises and
property, however, could actually be
taken from the possession OF the
company due process of law would
the adoption Of the resolution takes
the effect of a declaration on The part
OF the board of supervisors OF an il
tentiOn to institute legal action to d.
prive the Spring Valley Water Com
pany Of its property.
At a hearing before the supervisors
which was preliminary 10 the estab-
lishment of legal water rates for The
year beginning July LIST, 1907, officers
of the company testified that the com
pany was still charging lis patrons
under the schedule of 1902, which is
p per cent higher than the schedule
established by the supervisors for
1906
The latter schedule was at tonight S
meeting established, and the super
visOrs then. acting by authority of sec

A CITIZENS COMPLAINT.
He Objects Very Properly to the
RuneIine Way Carson's Streets
Are Numbered

Ed. Appeal.-Some time ago the
postoffice officials sent man out to
number the houses at a charge of so
cents per house. The man whoever,
he was. went around and numbered
houses near Valley Park and then
carried corresponding numbers out 30
the latter end of Carson street and
kept right on skipping from one end
of the town to the other and hear and
there numbered two houses the same
number on the same street
The streets are named the same
way as the houses are numbered and
consequently person who has not
lived in Carson all his life could not
find q single place without asking
someone who knows and who was
raised in Carson. There are several
houses that are not numbered and the
owners say they will not number
them until the streets are named
properly and the houses numbered as
they should be.
The people of Carson are trying 10
make a city of it, bu- they are going
at it wrong in regard to the houses
and streets. In all large cities the
streets one way are generally number
ed from l up and the cross streets
lettered with the alphabet and the
houses on each street have independ-
ent numbers beginning with l on
every street.
! I think it would pay the Carson
people to donate money enough to
hire a man to go around and number
the houses right and number AMI
name the streets right, then it would
be more like a city than a country

CALIFORNIA AND
THE PRIZE RING
The Citizens of the Golden State Still
Cling to Their Love for rake
Fights.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2S.-Gus
Hartman's anti-prize fight bill was Ge-
feated in the senate this morning. It
received it's solar plexus, went down
and took the count by vote OF "A
to IL. Hartman changed his vote and
will try again, but he has not the
ghost of a chance.
When the anti-prize fight bill was
called up Hartman simply stated that
the time had come to show his sin
cerity and that he hoped every one
would vote for his bill. His defense
of it he reserved for the close Of The
debate
Wolf Of San Francisco led the Op-
position He declared that there was
no demand for the bill on the part of
the public. He told how he and Gus
Hartman had attended the O'Brien-
Burns fight in Los Angeles, described
the record crowd there, and said a
moro orderly gathering had never
been assembled.
Mccartney Of Los Angeles also
spoke against il.
Then came Gus Hartman's speech
in favor of the bill. Il was a noble
effort. and when Gus had worked him
self into an oratorical frenzy and
pumped into his seat a cheer went
up from the senate floor.
There are no square fights any
more" declared Gus. "The fight trust
in San Francisco runs them to suit
themselves and arrange the decisions
three of four days ahead of the fights
Cut it out for two years and teach
them a lesson
Then Gus spoke of the killing OF
Harry Tenney, and of the Britt-Gans
fight Every one knows that was {
fake" he said. "The fight promoter:
skinned San Francisco with the La
vigne-WalcOtt fight" he continued
Its all fake, buncombe and pea an(
shell games. Please vote for my bill
and show I have not been taking ant
fooling around
Despite this splendid appeal The
prize fight champions mustered
twenty-four strong and the bill wa
killed. Hartman will try and resusci
tate the corpse tomorrow. "a lot 0
fellows ducked," he said Il want t,

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has SO fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
factured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their &C.
tion because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance OF the functions
Of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.
