The plymouth Consolidated Ditch.

The ditch owned by the Hayward
and Hobart estate, and that formerly
supplied water for tho mines around
Plymouth, IN the palmy days of the
Plymouth Consolidated has been
thoroughly cleaned out IN its entire
length from Plymouth to the head
waters, under the supervision of II.
A. Myers, who is the resident agent
of the owners. 1t is reported that the
intention IS to use the ditch for float
ing timbers and other mining sup
plies, also cord wood, aud lum Der.
1t would be great saving in the way
of transportation, and it is pr % bable
that a large business could be soon
built up in this manner. There is
abundance of timber in the regions
above Plymouth bordering the
Cosumnes river that could be made
marketable in this way.

Death of Geo. Hansen in Berkeley

George Hansen, who died Tuesday
morning March 3lst, at about 9
O'Clock at his home in Berkeley, was
for some years with great success the
managing superintendent of the U. ).
Gov. Foothill Agricultural Expert
mental Station, located between Jack
son aud Pine Grove. Soon after tax
ing charge of the station, he was
thrown out of his wagon by the team
running away, and injured his spine.
The injury was so slight it was not
noticed, as it did not disable him
sufficiently to prevent him continu-
ing with his work at the station, but
in the course of years lit is now 10
years since the accident) brought on
locomotor ataxla, SOD gradually that
he was not aware of the real condi-
ton until after ne left Amador
county. The disease progressed in
spite of all remedies applied, until
during the last six years be was al
most helpless in his lower limbs. At
times there seemed to be improve
ment in his condition. He was al
ways hopeful and as cheerful as could
be IN his condition, but the disease
finally conquered, and when the final
call came he passed quietly away in
his favorite room, where he could
look out through the Golden Gate.
His body will be cremated in Oak
land as was his desire, his ashes Will
probably be taken to Amador county,
where he passed some of the happiest
days of his life. q. A. W.

lost her trunk, but as soon as she
realized that it was useless to try to
control the flames, she took her ham
per containing clothing and escaped.
Frank Letang, owner of the house
and furniture where it started, also
of the two bunk houses unocoupied,
was damaged to the extent of $1,000.
Gus Laverone, owner of the vacant
house, lost say $500.
&. NJ. Meek in real estate furniture,
tools, ETC., lost fully $4,000.
The damage to furniture by handl-
ing must be several hundred dollars.
The total will reach from 81, ZOO to
S12, 600. There was some insurance on
furniture removed, although the
amount likely to be recovered from
this source cannot be much.
HOW IL STARTED.
There is no mystery in the origin of
this blaze. Notwithstanding all that
has been said to the contrary, it was
unquestiouably of accidental origin.
Pearl Dunno, in whose apartment it
started, tells straightforward story.
She had recently come from Grass
Valley, although has been a resident
here before. She was in the act of
warming some water for domestic
purposes by means of small stove,
using wood alcohol as fuel. The
house was supplied with gas through
out. 1t may seem strange that a stove
of such a character was permitte
about the premises. This. however,
is explained shat the girls we're ey-
pected to provide heating and lights
in their own rooms at their own
expense. The girl above named had
the middle room on the north side.
The window was open, and quite
breeze blowing in. The stove was
placed on ii stand close to the win
dow, and some tissue paper for
ornamental purposes was near. Car
ried by the windDthe flame from the
stove caught this paper, and the
interior was aAame instantly. She
told Jessie that the house was aIire.
Some effort was made to put it out,
without avail. Pearl theIeupon made
her escape with the hamper in which
her clothing was kept
Jessie in trying to save some of her
clothing and other valuables, was
severely burned about the neck,
back, and arms. Her hair was sing
ed. Her injuries were not dangerous,
and she was around the following
day.
The ruins we're searched the next
day for valuables. Some gold and
silver was found, evidently coins that
had been melted as by furnace.
q Much sympathy is felt for the
family of q. M. Meek. He and wife
are advanced IN years, so the blow
tails with added force. Mr. Meek is
undecided yet whether he will re-
build. If he should do so, it will be
on much smaller scale.

centered on the flagship Connecticut

were hoisted.
So silently was the maneuver of fall

cuted that some moments elapsed be-
fore the spectators were aware that
the feet was really in motion. But soon
the bows began turning southwark,
and. as the flagship took up speed,
other vessels slowly swung along, some
two abreast and others in tandem.
Then seven vessels comprising the first
squadron were seen TO swing into sin

ward. from the various anchorages,
eight other warships began taking up
a line formation. By $50 O'Clock the
first squadron had maneuvered into ex-
act column position, and the second
division vanship fell in behind the
others trailing gradually into line. At
6:40 the entire fleet was in single
column formation, the Connecticut fast

So read the signal pennants hoisted
beneath the Admiral's blue two
starred flag aboard the flagship Con-
necticut at six O'Clock last evening.
Instantly the anchor chains of ff-
teen battleships began moving upward
through the bow vents, and presently
a nag was h5isted to the fore on each
vessel announcing to Admiral sperry
that the warshlps were under way.
And so began the voyage of the
great battleship armada to the South
Seas. And with the bow of the flag
ship pointing toward the waters be-
meath the Southern Cross, came the
farewell to the people of Honolulu and
the Hawaiian Islands in general.
The departure of the fleet, fifteen
out of the sixteen warships, for the
Minnesota remained behind to receive

INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL
PRODUCES COMPLICATIONS

The Keio baseball team has filed a
protest with the baseball trustees,
asking that the game with the Diamond
Heads played last Sunday, and which
was won by the latter, be declared of,
and that it be ordered played over
again. Back of this simple announce
ment there is considerable of story
and a good deal of feeling. 1t all cen
ters about Bert Bower, the umpire.
Bower has umpired all the league
games for several years past, and been
so fair and used such good Judgment
that such thing as questioning his
decisions has been almost unthought
of.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-07-23

Since the international series be-
tween the Keios, the Santa Claras and
the local league teams began, however,
there has been growing feeling among
spectators, both off and on the field,
that Bower was not up to form. In
fact a number of his decisions were
rank. There was no suggestion of fav-
oritism, however, his off decisions being
quite as frequently against the local
teams as against the visitors. Among
local people who have watched Bower s
work closely, there is absolute faith in
his strict impartiality, but his some

am one of those who belieYe that the

George Gray can be elected; that he would
give us as true an exposition of the prn-
ciples and practices Of the Democratic
party as can be obtained. Judge Gray Is
not only safe and sound, but he is expert
senced ia the law, the conditions of society,
she requirements at home, and in our pos
sessions and positions abroad land knows
she many difisult problems that must be
met aud mastered arising among great cor
p0rations, insurance controllers, railroad
and other m0nopolists. He knows the care
full guardianship that must protect the
common peoplein the rights which give us
our privileges of equality under the law.
-Four Judges Of the United States Supreme
Court are likely to be appointed by our
next Presidents, and their decisions are as
important to the coming generation as any
questions to be determined Let the DEM
ocratic party make George Gray their stand
ard bearer and the credit for the solution Of
khe problems will ever remain where it be-
longs, with the people and the Democratic
party. $. R. Q.
