Facts even more surprising-and, also somewhat amusing confront the contention of our Prohibitionist friends. In the first place, strong drink does not seem to be partic- ularly effective as a diyorce-provoker. Of the s45,625 divorces that were granted in the United States during the ten years that ended with 1906 drink was directly charged with only S.s per cent.
 Even when all the. cases were con siderd in which drink might have been an indirect cause, the total arose only to 19.5 per cent. Cruelty on the part of sober husbands caused 324 per cent of the divorces that were granted to women and the failure oi

SPRING VALLEY TO
FIGHT ASSESSMENT
Deputy Assessor Robinson Ex-
plains Protest as Designed to
Save Interest on Amounts

OAKLAND, July 20.-The Spring Vail
ley water company has registered a
twofold complaint against the assess
ment Of its Alameda county holdings
recently completed by Assessor Henry
P. Dalton. The complaint, filing six
typewriter pages. was presented by
Attorney A. z. Shaw TO the county SUI
pervisors sitting as board of eoualiza-
ton today.
Shaw based his objections on the
allegations that at least s2,5oo,0e0
worth of real property and improve
ments had been enormously classified
s personal and that many of the val
uations were too high.
Riparian rights. extensive tracts OF
land. easements, fumes, open bitches,
wells, conduits and submarine pipes
were, according TO the protest, entered
as personal property. In addition, the
attorney said he could prove that they
had been assessed in some instances
st three times their entire first cost.
REALTY OR Personal
That the company would profit large
ly by having its property listed as
realty was the explanation Of the pro-
= y
SCISSOR Thomas NJ Robinson. The rate
viii be the same for all classes Of
property" said Robinson. The adj
vantage of having the board change
the classification would be that all
taxes on personal property must be
paid in a lump sum at the first in
stallment. Other property tax can be
paid in two installments, and this
would save Spring Valley interest for
F,,T fre .
The assessment is the same as for
several years and the company has not
objected for several years or had any
material reductions made by the board
Of equalization"
Shaw claimed that property in Wash
ington township, including watersheds
and tracts. which had been recently
purchased for s5s0,o0O, had been as
sessed for s1.50O.0 00 as well as having
been included in the personal property
column. In Pleasanton township the
valuation was s1.500.00e. but Shaw
claimed ii 10 be worth only one-third
that amount for assessment purposes
Included in the list objected TO were
IS wells. assessed at $4,000, an open
conduit listed at $4,000 and an open
ditch listed at s25 000 and all rated
personal
SOME SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS
A conduit from Sunol dam TO Niles
was assessed at $4,000, which was
considered far in excess; another was
assessed a s342 200. while the company
held il 10 be worth but S166,220 A
submarine pipe in Alameda county
waters was rated at $4,000, worth
ss4.394 he said. and a conduit at Niles,
appraised at 1892. 600. he declared to be
worth only S1lO.s12.
shaw asserted that a warehouse at
Niles had been set down by the officials
at Sl.525 on account OF a storage Of
oats, but there were no oats in it, he
claimed.
A parallel was shown TO prove that
Spring Valley lands in several town
ships has been assessed at considerably
higher rates than those of adjoining
owners. The board voted TO consider
the objections Friday.

TRANSFERS FUNDS
TO MEET DEFICIT
City Council Apportions Money
From Surplus Account TO
Defray Obligations

OAKLAND. July 2o.-To prevent a
deficit in the city treasury in the ac-
counts of the fiscal year 1909-191O the
city council has transferred the money
remaining in several funds into the
general fund and reapportioned it to
the departments where the deficit inn
pended
The largest change was that in the
public betterment fund, from which
$5o,250 was sent into the general fund
for distribution. Money was also taken
from the fire and police. the salary. the
wharf, the police relief and pension
and the police department. funds.
In the redistribution s11, 2Os.44 was
put in the park and boulevard fund.
The street fund was replenished with
s14,075.1S. the sewer fund got s1.595.50
the park fund s12,069.26. the fremens
relief and pension fund s1.Ss7.Os, and
the urgent necessity fund $511.S0. In
the fund for general expenses was left
ss7.S73.11.
The figures showed that about $4,000
remains in the city treasury with
which the obligations of the city must
be met. Discussion among the council
men followed the introduction of the
resolution redistributing the city
money, Eyerhart citing an ordinance
passed a year ago, which was Intended
to maintain intact any fund established
in the fiscal year.
Everharts objection was based on
the transfer from the public betterment
fund of $1,000. which had been set
aside for building a fire house in North
Oakland. Because of the state law and
city charter providing no means or
paying a deficit the councilmen decided
to rearrange the finances and to pro-
vide in the budget now in preparation
for the fire house.
The council has also decided to open
Jefferson street from it's present blind
ending at Seventeenth street through
to San Pablo avenue. To equalize the
cost the district was made large, eX-
tending from First street to Twentieth.
Mayor Mott sent a communication TO
the council informing the body that
the Peoples water company is con-
structing a reservoir in East Oakland
south of Hopkins street near Beulah
mark that will be completed January l.
1t will give adequate fire protection to
that section of the city.
A resolution increasing the salaries
OF the chief deputy city auditor and
chief deputy treasurer from $3.50
month to 5000 each was referred to the
finance committee.

Large Audiences

OAKLAND, July 20.-The combina-
tion Of hot show in cool house is
one that appeals to pretty nearly every
sort of a human being. and it is ex-
actly that sort of a combination that
the Oakland orpheum is able to offer
