the Pittsburg Steel company at its

and not only alleges the tax is too

has held conferences with the local
authorities in the effort to bring about
an adius tment.
In 1906, the Pittsburg Steel com
pany conducted a branch warehouse
at the plant of the old handle factory
West Second street and the Panhandle
railroad. A large business was oper-
ated and the quantity of material that
was kept stored at the place was the
largest of the kind ever stored in this
city. The company supplied orders
received for its wares from this vicn-
ity from the local warehouse. The
business was large, but when a con-
sol1dation was agreed upon the local
business was abandoned The stock
OF the company was placed on the tax
duplicates at a valuation of $4,000.
This value is not regarded as having
been excessive by any but the steel
company. The county assessor notifi-

a handball contest between "Piker''
Garrow and Thomas HefferhanS on the
one side, both of this city, and John
Ospital of this city and an unknown

other side. The scores were 81 to A
and Fl to 3, both of which were in favor
of the side represented by the San
Francisco ringer
For some time the local players have
been heralded as invincibles and have
succeeded in gaining much honor by
reason of their superior Skill and deX-
terity as compared with local players.
Recently John Ospital, a new conner to
Stockton, who is now engaged as hotel
keeper learned of the skill of the local
players and entered into a contest with
them accompanied by a local enthusi-
suggested a game for a wager and re-
served the right of selecting his as
siStant from among the San Francisco
players with whom he formerly played.
The reservation was accepted and the
game was scheduled for Wednesday.
The contest was held at the court of

San Franciscan entered the game under
the name of Venito Valenvoela of San
Francisco. A number of local sports
including many of the Latin colony
were in attendance at the contest.
