THE OAKLAND MEAT AND PACK

known to require much comment, the officers
being: D. R. Agnew, President; j. S.. Corey,

However it might be well to state that this is
practically the only packing house on the
Pacific Coast having concrete floors on their
killing beds-these floors being washed every
night with salt water at high pressure, which
acts as disinfectant and also purifier, MAX

horses are required to transport the beef in
Oakland and San Francisco. Great care is
taken in the buying of our stock, to get moth

is drawn from Nevada and Oregon; which
states are noted for the high class Hereford

plant is $50 head of cattle, 800 sheep and lambs

The Preferred Stock of the Oakland Trac-
ton Company provides for the payment Of
semiannual dividends at the rate of six per
cent per annum. At present dividends are
being paid quarterly on the fifteenth day of
February, May August and November of each
year.
During the past year the Oakland Traction
Company earned more than twice the amount
required to pay the dividends on the Preferred
Stock. AT the present rate OF growth, the earn
ings in few years should be several times the
amount required for dividends, and the Pre-
ferred Stock should have value we'll above
par.
HE rapid growth of the cities of Oakland.
Berkeley and Alameda and of neighboring
towns demands great streetcar system.
The owners of the streetcar system of Oak
land and vicinity have determined that the
system shall enlarge with the growth OF the
cities and towns it serves They propose to
extend new lines into important districts and
to increase and to improve the equipment of
the old lines.
The increase OF the gross earnings OF the
Oakland Traction Company shows how rap
idly the towns served thereby have recentlv
grown.
Among the important advantages to this
company resulting from consolidation are the
benefit OF cheaper power, of experienced oper-
ators, and Of one set OF general officers.
The surplus of the Oakland Traction Com
pany for the past five years, after all charges
OF every character have been paid, was as fol-

HE OAKLAND TRACTION COM
PAN4 represents consolidation of all
the electric street railways of Alameda County
1t owns and operates one hundred and sixty
miles OF track, and serves a population of
about three hundred thousand persons. The
road is of modern constructions standard
gauge, with heavy steel rails, and will require
little repair for many years.
The Oakland Traction Company serves the
territory which extends from the county line
on the north to Hayward on the south, and
includes the cities and towns of Oakland Ala
media, Berkeley, Piedmont, Emeryville, Alan
dale, Elnlhurst, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and
Hayward. On the north the Oakland Trac-
ton Company connects at the Contra Costa
county line with the street railway system

The franchises, which were granted for fifty
years are very valuable. Reference to the map
of Oakland and vicinity shows that the Oak
land Traction Company's lines cover all the
principal avenues of the district which it
serves. For instance, the main avenues lead
ing from Oakland to Berkeley are San Pablo
avenue, Grove street, Shattuck avenue, Tele-
graph avenue and Broadway. These streets
are all occupied by lines of the Oakland Trac-
ton Company.

yours. If you express a sentiment
of appreciation Of anything, the own
er at once says: "Senor, it is yours"
but he simply intends something fat
tering, and you are therefore not ex-
pected to accept anything that is Of
fered to you. An amusing sSory is
told Of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng
lish ambassador, which illustrates how
this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment Sir Spencer, who is
gallant old bachelor, was prom
enading with some ladies in the park,
when he met a nurse girl With

to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child it was. "Senor,

quired as to the parentage of pretty
