SUPERVISORS IN TANGLE
OVER FIRE ALARM BOXES
Resolution Calling for Proposals
Starts Lively Rumpus

Two hours of controversy over the
fire alarm box muddle marked the ses-
sion of the supervisors yesterday. At
its end the city was no nearer getting
the boxes, but the mayor was requested
to get the boards committee and his
own commission into a room together
and not let them out until peace had
been patched up.
An innocent looking resolution ''di-
recting the celrk to advertise for pro-
posals for so fire alarm boxes of the
mountaineering succession type" started
the rumpus. This bill had the backing
of the ommittee-McLeran, Booth and
Center.
The mayors veto of a sinilar meas
ure lay asleep in that committees port
folio with a 80 day charm upon it The
board members were chary of the new
bill.
Three votes in all were taken on the
general subject, and at no time did
more than nine supervisors get to-
gether on any of the three. Booth,
Frederick, Center. Giannini. Hooks.
Jennings. and McLeran-7--voted not
to sustain the mayors veto.
Pollok and Rixford Joined the above
seven in the final vote to pass the
committees recommendation. This fail
ure Immediately succeeded an unavail-
ing motion of Connolly to pass the
commissions bill, and everything end
ed in the air. The conference may
right matters and get boxes.

The offering for sale of a street rail-
way franchise over Stockton, Bay and
other streets from Market to the Pre-
sidio was finally decreed by the board
of supervisors yesterday and date for
the reception of bids will next be set
by the board. The franchise as Of
fered marks a departure in San Fran
cisco's management of such grants. Its
% years tenure is qualified by re-
striction that the city may buy in the
plant after 10 years without paying on
franchise valuation. It prescribes
the eight hour day for all employees,
fixes a 81 minimum wage and exacts
liberal lighting privileges for the city
The board passed finally two nickel
odeon bills, one requiring sheet metal

it's attention to the fact that the en-
plovment of western architects in the
planning of some of San Francisco's
first class buildings had been followed

terials Aubury suggested that state
products and Californian architects

A $4,000 900 bond issue for the con-
over Geary street, Point Lobos avenue

first cost, s250,O00, for underground
conduit construction over two and a
third miles of the road, leading the
board to reject that alternative plan.
Seven miles will be the length of the
entire road. The exact estimate of cost

Estimate Used the Highest

while we did not allow last year
for depreciation under that name we
allowed for maintenance and main
tenacne covered the item of deprecia-
ton. AS to the value of the plant
Mr. Britton's original estimate was
less than Mr.. Hunts, whose figure we
used in arranging the rates
Supervisor Center suggested that oil
was higher than formerly. Murphy
replied that Los Angeles, with oil but
little cheaper, enforced an so cent rate.
Pollok objected to any argument that
rested in any way upon the action OF
the Doodle board.
The men in office at that time he
said, did not know whether gas was
manufactured or grown. To say that
a community voted these men into
office on their pledge of rs cent gas
would argue low sense of morality"
Supervisor Broderick declared that
all talk of 75 cent gas had been merely
political.
The proposal for 95 cent gas was lost
by a vote of IL to z.
Johnston then moved for the 85 cent
ordinance. He included a heat re-
quirement Of the gas of 700 British
thermal units. This conforms to the
Los Angeles standard. On the vote on
the IS cent ordinance Center joined
the majority, making the result IL to g.
Before leaving the subject of light

street lighting for the year

they did not write off the sum, but

Tempestuous Voyage Up the
Salt River Ended
Saturday.
STUCK ON A SANDBAR.
Stream Had to Be Damned
Before the Camp
Was Reached.

Headwaters of Salt River, Nov.
l5.-Well here we are at last and
our packet had a time of it getting
up Salt river, all the way from West
Point
Salt river is very shallow stream
and it is a very difficult matter to
navigate it, even in a small boat.
Our vessel was larger than many
that were making the same trip and
besides we were heavily loaded and
the boat drew so much water that
the keel frequently scraped the bot.
tom of the shallow stream. We
wished many times that we had
brought along at least a part of the
feet of canoes in which we came
down Pond and Green rivers. We
made but little Roadway and Friday
afternoon ran upon sandbar and
stuck fast.
Capt. Prowse is not much of a
sailor and was in very discouraged
state of mind when help came from
an unexpected source. Hon. Gus
Richardson. of Meade county, who
has made frequent trips up the
stream, came floating down in a
small boat and was kindness itself
when he discovered our sad plight.
Gus explained that the only way to
get off the sandbar would, be to have
q rise in the stream. This could be
secured in two ways, by waiting for
the fall rains or by taking a day off
and damming the river.
John Feland, who is proving to be
the wag of the expedition, said:
We've been damming it ever
since we started up and still we've
stuck"
The Muhlenberg fellows came in
mighty handy at this iuncture.
They live in a county where logging
is considerable industry and under
stand how to manage things of this
sort. Gus said the stream could be
damned by RATS of logs, sunk with
piles of stones. By removing the
stones the RATS would again come to

High School Wins Easy
Game From Henderson.

The visitors were all much older
than the High School boys should be
and some of them were Elks, and
one had gray hairs, and they after
wards acknowledged that five of
them had gone to the high school.
They were too slow and showed the
effects of cigarettes. The first half
was very interesting, and they played
hard, but could not hold the local
boys, who ran around and through
them for three touch-downs in the
first half, and kicked all the goals,
thus giving a score of IS to 0 at end
of first half.
The second half was very slow ex-
cept at times, when Hopkinsville
would go through some of their
snappy plays. Near the last of the
half all the subs were put in, and
given a chance to enjoy the fun.
This half ended II to 0, thus giving
a total score of 30 too.
The BIG GAME
of the season will be played here
Friday, Nov. the 10Th, between Pa

team that has defeated Hopkinsville,

FORCE OF 100 MEN.
No Chance to Get the Ear
lington Shops Located
Here.

The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the question of securing the
division headquarters Of the L. & N
Railroad at this place have met with
mo encouragement whatever. In
fact they have been advised from
President Smiths Office that the
Darlington cutoff will be for fast
trains only and that there is no in
tention of changing the shops at the
division headquarters.
This effectually disposes of what
seemed to be a good chance to get
the business of this division of the
L. & N. located in Hopkinsville.
The construction work on the rail-
road is well under way. The camp
nearest Hopkinsville is that of the
McGrath Construction Co., one
branch of the Walsh McGrath Co.,
which has the work between Hop
kinsville and Nortonville. The camp
is in L. G Williams field and the
first departure from the main track
straitens out sharp curve that be-
gins Just before the road crosses the
Madisonvllle pike. A twelve-foot
fill in the field and an eight foot cut
in the woods adjoining are necessary
to make the new grade. The new
line leaves the old track about two
hundred yards to the west at that
point. This camp has about six
weeks of work before it and then it
will be moved to Kelly. Large num-
bers of people visited the camp Sun
day, many walking out the rail-
road, distance of three miles. The
camp now has about 25 or 80 men
who live in the Construction Co.'s
cars and eat in the dining car that
is part of the outfit. They have
their own cooking car in charge of
George Deere, an expert chef and he
took pleasure in showing the visitors
through his department. The cleric
al department is in charge of Mr..
j, H. Gerkey, an exceedingly atfable
young man. His Office car is equip
ped with every convenience includ-
ing telephones connecting the works
with the city and the other construc-
ton camps. There are about rs
Austrian laborers in this camp, who
board themselves. Some of them
have their families with them who
live in a tent alongside the cars,
wooden storehouse. for the commits
sary departments also being put up.
The big steam shovel has already
been located for work and has made
a good start cutting into the hill to
be grad"d down. Two parallel
tracks have been laid and are moved
up as the work progresses. The
shovel runs on one and the fiat-ears
on the other. AS the debris is SHOW
eled out it is turned by huge der
rick and deposited on the ears and
taken back to the fill to be dumped.
N great many negro men were
about the camp hunting employment
and it is probable that the force may
be increased little later with ne
