PLAN TO SAVE CITY
INTEREST ON BONDS
Supervisors Finance Commit
tee Seeks to Divide Contracts
for Supply of Pipe

A plan to save the city the interest
on about $1,000 900 of bond issue money
has been evolved by the supervisors
finance committee, and City Attorney
Long was yesterday requested to advise
the board whether the scheme was
practicable. The project is this:
More than $500. 900 worth Of cast
iron piping will be used in the con-
struction of the auxiliary fire protection
system, but not more than a fourth or
sixth of this material will be needed
at any one time. The auditor is by the
charter required to certify on all con-
tracts let by the city that the money
for their complete payment lies avail
able in the treasury. For this reason,
should ii be necessary to award the
pipe contract to one bidder, bonds for
the entire $1,5OO.000 would have TO be
sold, and most of the money would lie
idle in the treasury for months, or at
best would only yield the 2 per cent
paid by the banks for call deposits
Supervisors Jennings, Murphy and
Pollok authorized the clerk TO secure
the city attorneys opinion as to
whether IL would not be practicable
under the charter to empower the board
of works to receive bids and make an
award for the pipe required, at the
same time stipulating for separate con-
tracts for the pipe to be delivered as
needed at intervals Of a few months.

PERPETUAL GRANT
WANTED FOR WATER
Supervisors Begin Draft of Bill
to Be Presented in
Congress

Work began yesterday in the clerk s
Office of the board of supervisors on the
draft of bill to present at the coming
session of congress making perpetual
the grant conferred on the city by Sec
retary Garfield in the reservoir sites at
Hetch Hetchy valley and Lake Eleanor.
Senator Perkins and Flint, as already
stated. have given the public utilities
committee assurance that the bill will
have their support and will pass in the
senate without difficulty.
Chairman Giannini and the other
members of the committee have ex-
pressed their confidence that our local
congressman will be equally successful
in the house.
The Owens river grant to the city of
Los Angeles by the last congress will
be taken as a model in drawing up the
instrument comforting similar water
rights on San Francisco and the exact
information at hand from the reports
of City Engineer Manson in regard to
the size, location, bounds, etc, of the
two reservoir sites will enable the clerk
to draw the bill in detail
Supervisors Giannini. Murphy and
McLeran of the committee handling the
water matter took advantage of the
breathing spell afforded by yesterdays
holiday to go over with Chief Clerk
Behan the ground proposed to be COW
cred in the bill, but the preparation Of
the measure will consume some time.
Expert H. A. Mason will assist In draw
ing up the measure.
While the committeeman believe that
the city will have as~good treatment at
the hands of congress as did Los An
geles in obtaining its grant, Chairman
Giannini stated yesterday that the best
way to insure this was by the rolling
up of a tremendous majority at the
bond issue election on the 18th to con-
vince congress that San Francisco ap-
preciated the gift conferred and was in
earnest in it's proposal to secure a
Sierra water supply
The present Garfield grant has all
along been recognized as ample in its
term and scope, but the department it.
self in making the grant emphasized
the desirability of later securing from
congress a patent in perpetuity The
support of the interior department, the
California senators and the president
has been assured to the city's represen-
tatives in obtaining the congressional
grant.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
In B. M. Dick & E. G. sutherlands Comedy
"The Road to Yesterday"
By Walter Anthony

Though there may be campaign argu-
ment in the air and men shouting over
election returns and paying election
bets, the Alcazar is a safe and serene,
not to say most interesting place this
week to escape into another century,
where there were no elections and the
stump speaker came not, or the ballot
either.
1t is truly a pretty. fantastic comedy,
this The Road to Yesterday" 1t will
never set the country, through which
it meanders it's pretty way, afire, but
1T will entertain and amuse and 1t will
make you laugh, and give you, now
ana then, just the faintest tinge of a
thrill. 1t will also deliver to you some
dainty, feminine and wholesome comedy
out or the store of the leading woman 8
talents, and you will be charmed into
full faith in the fair story by the sweet
ness of Evelyn Vaughan's coquetry and
wide eyed, innocent comedy. Likely you
will not fail to admire Bertram Lytell
IN his role Of the yeoman of 1903, who
is not the hero of the lace and satin
history plays, and who jumps ignomini-
ously through the window when at
tackled by four fighters-but who is in
spite of these delinquencies very hand
some and very human and convincing in
his brave clothes and hat with two red
feathers
oh. yes. the play has technical faults /;
they belong to fantasy, however, and
so you will not mind, even If you are
erudite and stupid enough to discern
and be disturbed by them 1t is a
dream. The play starts and ends in
1903, and meantime has two acts in
1903. These are the dream acts of
Elspeth Tyrell, a romantic miss with a
great love for everything that was
900 years before she was. She falls
into sleep and finds out that Queen
Bess' days were not altogether what
they We're cracked up to be, and is very
glad to get back home again. The per-
sons whom she meets 800 years before
she was born are the originals of those
she was visiting in London when the
play opens. There is some talk of the
transmigration of souls, the reincarna-
tion of the spirit and such things and
then the play proves the reality OF
those doctrines in dream-a shadowy
ghostly proof that Is altogether too de-
lightful for the moment to be taken
skeptically.
Miss Vaughan is elfsh in her fun
poignant in her dream suffering, allur-
ing in her love scenes, and coy and
bashful and dear in her boys disguise
She is one of the few who can wear a
Rosalind's garb, not so much physic-
ally, though she is pretty, as men
tally and temperamentally. Her COM
edy scene in the second act is a little
masterpiece of unadulterated merrf-
ment, unmarried by false note. Such
acting is an honor to the stage, and If
presented in a passing company would
likely be generally appraised even more
generously and appreciated at a value
nearer its worth.
The balance of the Alcazar company
acquitted itself we'll, and individually
equaled the requirements of the roles
with uniform excellence. Naturally
Mr.. Williams. who paints the scenery,
was in mute. evidence and his work was
applauded for each of the four pretty
acts.

BUILDING BOOM IN DEVILS LAKE
----HALF MILL ION BEING SPENT

Never in the history of Devils Lake
has these been such activity shown in
the building line as this summer and
the city bids fair to rival any city in
the state for its number of fine build
ings. During the past five years there
have been many costly buildings erect
ed and by the time work stops in the
late fall there will have been more
buildings erected and at greater cost
than any previous year, which is a
good indication that the mopeyed in
terests in this city have faith in the
future of Devils Lake and are invest
ing their money freely.
The bringing of the shops by the
Great Northern to this city has been
big factor in the increasing of the
population and the extensive building
crusade that Is under way. There are
a great many men employed at the
shops and practically all Of them are
renting at the present time and great
many of them are having fine homes
erected, many more will build before
the season Is over There is also con-
siderable talk of the Great Northern
building their car repair shops here
and if this project should terminate it
will be the cause of bringing a great
many people to the city who will want
homes and there will perhaps during
the next year be fully if not more resi-
dences erected than we have at the
present time.
| Already this season the magnificent
! Catholic church has been erected at a
cost of over $4,000. The building is
of red pressed brick and is one Of the
| finest structures Of it's kind in the
northwest The new parsonage of the
church is rapidly drawing towards
completion and when finished will be
one of the finest and most modern in
the city. 1t is of the same brick as
the church and when finished will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. These
two fine structures were built by the
labor of the mechanics of this city and
speak we'll for the efficient and com.
petent class of workmen that are in
Devils Lake.
| The largest and most expensive
building of the year will be the govern
'ment building which will be erected

perty owner in the city has spent
many hours each year in setting out
flowers, planting trees and shrubbery
and cleaning about their premises in
an endeavor to give it the best possible
appearance
The value of real estate in this city
is an unquestioned argument. Every
day in the year there are new trans
actions taking place which tend to
increase the value of property in the
city and scarcely a day passes that
some one of the business people Of
the city do not add more of the desir-
able real estate property to their list.
estate concerns in the city that are
ready at all times to give information
in regard to the valuation of property
in Devils Lake and will give almost
unlimited inducemtns to bring pros
pectiVe buyers to the city. And
should one come here with the pros
pect of investing money it is fore
gone conclusion that before he leaves
the city he will have annexed several
of the choice locations of the city. for
! it is easily seen that Devils Lake is on
| the bOOom and that at present is but
n its infancy and that the the future
of the town is the brightest of any
city of its size in the United States.

across from the new Catholic church
on East Fourth street. The building
will be of stone and when completed
will cost $4,000. The General Con-
struction Co. Of Milwaukee, have the
contract for the erection of the build
ing and when completed it will be the
finest public government building in
the state. 1t will be used as post
Office and the upper floors of the build
ing will be occupied by the government
land Office which Is located here and
the U. S. court. This magnificent
building was secured for this city
through the efforts of Senator Hans
brough and when it is taken into con-
sideration that appropriations for
buildings of this kind are hard to get
for a city the size Of Devils Lake, it
indicates the senator used all his in
fluence and landed the appropriation
for this fine structure. Work has al
ready started on the excavation of the
basement and in short time material
will be on the ground and work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The new Mercy Sisters school build
ing is gradually finding it's way
through the atmosphere and in short
time will present a good appearance
and the people of the city will be able
to draw their conclusions of what the
building will be like when completed
1t will be of selected brick and will
cost about $4,000. 1t is being built
near the Mercy Sisters hospital and
the school will be run under the man
agement Of the same sisters that now
conduct the hospital. The school will
be devoted to the education of girls
and will be entirely modern and most
convenient for the large number Of
pupils which the school will have
when complete.
The new ward school is about COM
pleted and fills in a vacancy that has
been on Fourth street for some time.
; This is an iedal location for the new
SCHOOL, which, when completed will
cost the city about $4,000. The school
facilities have been very limited for
some time owing to the continual in
flux of people into the city. There
will be eight grades in the building
