MUST PAY DAMAGES TO
THEIR OWN PROPERTY
Owners of Frontage on Hill Street
Are Denied Larger Assessment
District by the City
Council

The protest of property owners on
Hill street, from First to Temple
against being compelled to pay the
assessment for damages to their own
property was denied by the council
yesterday.
Attorney H. J. Goudge, representing
about 500 feet frontage out of more
than 1900 feet affected by the grade to
be established, told the councilmen
that the assessment district should be
made larger. AS it is now the entire
burden of the cost of cutting the grade
of this one block to a level with the
entrance to the proposed Hill street
tunnel falls entirely on the property
fronting on the block. The arguments
advanced by Mr.. Goudge were that
property for many blocks on either slde
of the new grade would receive the
benefit and should be compelled TO pay
a part of the cost.
Councilman Wallace admitted that tne
property was assessed about one-hfth
more than it should be, but the council
was afraid If proceedings for the I'M
movement were abandoned it would be
a long time before they could be intro
duced again. For this reason the prop
erty fronting on the block must pay the
entire cost.

CITY COUNCIL HESITATES ON
OFFER FOR AQUEDUCT BONDS
TAKE AN ADJOURNMENT TO CONSIDER NEW YORK BROKERS
OFFER TO BUY
pease and Dromgo Hard Have Proposal Ratified but
They Are Overwhelmingly Voted Down by
Their Fellow Members

took the floor to second the motion. He
made a strong plea for the acceptance
of the proposal as he declared II
meant practically the financing of the
entire Owens river aqueduct by two
of the most reputable firms In New
York He declared his belief that the
board of public works would be able
to make better contracts and thus save
the entire amount and probably more
of the extra interest 1t would be nee
essary to pay by contractors having
knowledge that the money would GER
tainly be forthcoming.
Sharp passages occurred between
President Pease and Councilman WAL
lace when the president intimated sew
eral of the members were lodging the
issue. Councilman Wallace resented
the statement and declared tne presl-
dent out of order.
Councilman Wallace appeared to be
the leader of the opposition. He showed
that the contract as 1t was provided
the entire issue of bonds could be
claimed by the purchasers within three
years from February /, and this would
give the city much more money than
If could use at one time, but on which
it would be compelled to pay interest
BuIlard Speaks
President Pease called on ]. w. Bal
lard, the representative of the poIio
brokers, to make a statement. Mr..
Ballard declared the contract could not
be changed in any one particular and
wound up by stating he would with
draw the offer at O'Clock. He SAID
he had been ordered by his employers
to withdraw the offer Monday night
but had held 1t open twenty-four hours
on his own responsibility
IT was after this statement that the
council adjourned until 10:30 o'clock
this morning. But Mr.. Ballard is quite
certain they will not have the pro-
posal of the New York firms to con-
slider.
Councilman Dromgold gave notice he
would move this morning that the $2,-
04O.0 900 bonds be sold to the highest
bidder.
Meanwhile the board of public works
is wondering where the money Is com
ing from to continue the work on the
Owens river aqueduct. They declared
last night they would not let another
contract until they were assured they
would have money to pay for 1t.
Adams, Phillips & Co. and j. Z:
Drake made proposal to the council
in one of the executive sessions DUR
ing the afternoon to take at least
part of the bond issue, but asked for
forty-eight hours further considera-
ton. They declared they had half
million pledged and believed within a
short time this could be greatly in
creased Their proposal does not IN
clude any options.

of Theater on Various
Nations

DR.. Richard Burton of the University
of Minnesota delivered a lecture on
1.-THE Drama as Social Force" yes
terday morning at Cumnock hall.
DR.. Burton is an original and fluent
speaker who holds his audience by
forceful logic and an unassuming per-
sonality. In his lecture he spoke of
the influence which the drama has had
upon various countries.
France and Germany, unaffected by
Puritan prejudice. he said have grown
steadily in the realm of art. The lee
turer spoke of the Philistine, the tired
business man who visits the theater
for recreation, and said that while
these two factors-the Puritan and the
Philistine-had Influenced the drama it
was still gaining in power and scope.
DR.. Burton will lecture on Ibsen,
the second in his series on "The Mod
ern Drama" Thursday morning at
Cumnock hall at II o'clock.

BIG GOLD NUGGETS IN
OWL LEASE AT RAWHIDE
Special to The Herald.

RAWHIDE, New, July 1.-The re-
cent strike on the Roseberry property
has developed into one of the most re-
markable ore shoots of this district.
Paintings made from the rich vein have
yielded great nuggets of gold, some of
them weighing more than a penny
weight. The ore shoot is more than
four feet wide and is all of good ship
ping grade.
Some paintings shown on the streets
contained sourse pieces of nugget and
leaf gold and were evidently of excep-
tional richness. The management re-
ports the showing has improved very
materially since rich ore was first en-
countered eighteen feet from the shaft.
A tonnage of ore is being mined for
shipment.

The proposal Of the New York bond
brokers to take up the entire series
of Owens river bonds on a series OF
options was withdrawn by ]. w. Bai-
lard, coast representative Of A. b.
Leach g. Co. and Kountze Brothers. at
s o'clock last night. Shortly AFTER ne
made his threat to withdraw the pro-
posal the council, then IN session. con.
sidering the matter, adjourned 10 lo:SV
o'clock this morning.
W. B. Mathews, who has recently re-
turned from the east, declares there Is
still a chance of the acceptance or the
offer by the New York firm. He says
the offer is not really officially with
drawn and cannot be until instructions
to that effect are wired either to MIN
or to the council. -,
Members of the council did not like
the free and easy way in which Mr..
Ballard apparently attempted to whip
them into line and showed their re-
sentiment by adjourning.
The only test vote made in public on
the proposition of the New YORK
brokers was on the motion to adjourn.
Heretofore all sessions considering TINS
proposal have been executive. Council
man r. w. Dromgold of the First Ward
and President Niles Pease of the
Fourth ward voted against adjourn
ment. All other councilmen, and full
council was present voted to adjourn.
Long executive sessions over the
matter were held in the office OF the
mayor yesterday afternoon, at which
the council, the board of public WORKS
and members of the aqueduct commits
sion were present. 1t was evident from
the length of time taken and the neces-
sity for several sessions that the coun-
ell was hopelessly deadlocked on the
proposition. At one time word was
sent out from the executive office that
the council was five for and four
against accepting the offer Of Leach
and Rountze. Soon after, however, IL
became apparent some of the pros had
been won over to the side of the antis
and there would be nothing doing.
Offer Is Read
When the council finally convened IN
its own chambers Councilman Drom-
gold moved the contract signed by A.
r Leach and Kountze Brothers pro-
viding for the immediate purchase or
5000, 600 of the Owens river bonds
at Az per cent provided they be al
lowed options on the entire issue OF
500. 900. 900 yet unsold, be read.
After its reading Councilman Drom-
gold moved the council ratify the
agreement. Immediately Councilman
Healy moved an adjournment, and no
one seemed inclined to second Mr.
Dromgold's motion.
President Pease called on Mr.. Drom-
gold to take the chair and himself

THE SALT WATER CURE.
French Scientist Claims That Sea Wa
ter Conquers Disease.

French Scientist Claims That Sea Wa
ter conquers Disease.
The assertion that the ancients knew
more about medicine than the best
modern physicians seems to be con-
tirmed by the salt water cure" discov-
cred by a young French scientist, M.
Rene Quinton, who Is proving that
some Of the most serious ailments can
be rapidly cured by the mere injection
into the blood Of ordinary sea water.
Paris has now two dispensaries where
"piqures' Of sea water are administer
ed. Nearly all skin diseases, infantile
ailments and various forms Of CON
sumption are amenable to the treat
ment.
The "plasma de Quinton," as it Is
called, is merely very pure sea water
taken at Arcachon some forty feet be-
low the surface, where the water is
absolutely clear. The water, already
free from sediment and organic mat
ter, Is sterillzed and used for injection
under the skin. In Is per cent of the
cases cure Immediately followed the
hrst injection; in 20 per cent cure fol-
lowed after the sixth injection.
Castro enteritls, which carries off TO-
600 French children every year, Is
easily cured by the "piqure."
Children admitted into the dlspensary
In the Rue dOuessant In the last stages
or pulmonary tuberculosis have shown
improvement after. the first injection.
Some Of these children were living
skeletons, weighing less than at birth
and unable to retain any food. The
first injection gave them a healthy ap-
petite, and the Improvement continued
with each successive 'piqure."
The fundamental idea Of the sea
water cure Is that salt water is the
base Of all organic life. All organ
isms existed originally in the sea, and
blood Is Itself nothing but a modified
sea water.
A human being, says M. Quinton, is
"a verltable marine aquarium" and
one-fourth Of his total weight consists
Of blood serum, which is in essence
nothing but the sea water in which
his ancestors, the monera and amoebae,
lived.
More than a million injections of
"plasma de Quinton" have been adj
ministered in France during the last
four years. The cures number thou
sands, and there Is no recorded case
Of patients disease being aggravated
by the treatment.
