Fine Little City

Money wisely invested in land is
safe.
Better if the soil is rich and deep
And the climate is good
And no irrigation is needed.
Better yet if the land is planted to
productive crop.
Which yields good harvest every
year for your lifetime and longer
Besides being cared for while you
are paying for it
That's the whole proposition at
Orchard Addition to Santa Rosa,
Where you have the additional adj
vantage of a fine little city of
1900 people within a mile;
And, still better. where you have
the actual proof that the soil and
conditions are adapted to walnut

The Fashions

Everything intended for evening
wear this winter continues classic and
directoire. The closely fitted trailing
skirts, high waist line, small sleeves

tDre of the very newest ball and din
ner gowns. The most gorgeous of
embroideries in colored silk on a lace
or chiffon ground. beads, spangles gold
and silver passementeries are all used
for trimming, as wen as laces and nets
galore. A sort of harlequin effect has
lately been brought in vogue by some
of the great French coutouriers, that
is making one side of the costume of
other. A Paquin gown had one side OF
supple satin in the palest of blue
shades, and the other of cream net
embroidered with tiny blue silk polka
dots.

WANTS CONTROL OF
HER OWN ESTATE
Miss Elizabeth Hastings Asks
for Removal of Guardian
L. Nj. HOefler
Petitions Court to Be Restored
to Capacity and Given an
Interest in Property

Miss Elizabeth Parker Hastings.
granddaughter of the late Supreme
Court Justice Hastings, who early in
the year journeyed TO San Francisco
from London to petition the court to
be restored TO capacity. yesterday filed
petition for the removal OF Attorney
Louis NJ. Hoeher from the position OF
guardian Of her estate, alleging mis-
management, neglect and disregard OF
her personal wishes. She asks that
Richard NJ. Tobin of the Hibernia bank
be appointed in place OF Hoefier. Miss
Hastings, who has large property in
terests in this city, states in the petit
ton that she has started proceedings
in the courts of England to be declared
competent, in order to save the un-
necessary expenditure OF another trip
to San Francisco. She says it is ex-
pected the San Francisco court will
confirm the finding of the British court.
She has, she says, forwarded to her
attorney here, Henry W. Bradley, an
affidavit from DR.. George Henry Saw
age declaring her fully competent TO
manage her affairs.
Miss Hastings segregates her reasons
for wishing the removal of HOefier as
follows: 90 For neglect of his duty
in not assisting upon the distribution
Of the estate of the late Mrs. Hemphill,
who died in March, 1905; 90 for disre-
gard of my personal wishes at all times;
CD for refusing TO give me any ac-
counting OF my property or any ac-
counting of fees claimed as due him by
my estate; Cd for general mismanage-
ment."
ALLOWANCE WAS REDUCED
In July last Hoefer secured from
Judge Trout. Judge Graham being then
on his vacation, an order reducing Miss
Hastings allowance from $500 to $500
month. She claims in her petition
filed yesterday that Hoehers affidavit IN
support Of the reduction was mislead-
ing and contradictory of his former
petition An allowance Of $500 a month
is entirely insufficient for her, she says,
considering the manner of living to
which she has always been accustomed.
An allowance Of $500 a month repre-
sents the monthly dividend from the
Hastings estate only. she alleges, and
she complains OF receiving nothing from
her half share of the rents $4,000 per
month"; of the Clay. Merchant and East
streets property. Also she asserts she
receives nothing from the estate of
her late grandmother. Mrs. John Hemp
hill.
This is merely the result of the
unsuccessful attempt of Miss Hastings
stepfather, James w. Daniell to get
control of her estate" said Hoefier last
night, in reference to the petition. He
wants beyond anything to get his hands
on her money. as he did on that OF her
mother. whose estate of 100000 he
squandered, in four years. There is no
possible ground for the charge of mis-
management. for the reason that her
estate is in the hands of William GeiseI-
man, trustee of the Hastings estate.
