Monday afternoon about (

the Umatilla river at the foot OF
Main street was discovered to
be on fire. The fire department
was called out and in a very
short time had a stream of water
playing on the structure and
the fire under control. There
was no material damage to the
bridge. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but il is quite likely
that il started from a lighted
match or cigar inadvertently

COOPERATIVE BREEDING.

brief Is as follows: a community con
trolling about 100 cows Is organized
into cooperative breeding associa-
ton. This number of cows are divid-
cd as nearly as possible into three
groups of equal number. II being Inn
material just how many cows the in
dividual farmer may have. 4 breed Is
then selected which Is most In favor
In the neighborhood aud three register
ed slres purchased. one being placed
with each block Of forty cows. The
first cost as well as the cost of keeping
the bulls Is divided among the mem
bcrs of the association on the basis Of
the number OF cows owned by each.
At the end Of the two year period. in
order 10 avoid inbrceding the bulls
are transferred to other llocks and Mt
the end Of the second period trans

makes II possible To keep all three
bulls In the nelghborhDod six years
without inbrecdIng. This arrange

wish TO purchase dairy cows OF
single breed In considerable numbers.
While the plan has not been worked
out rs yet for full six year period.
its advantages are SO apparent that
It might well be adopted In any strict

BRUGUIfRE ACCUSED
OF BEATING HOTEL.
Clubman's Unpaid Bill in Inn
May Furnish Evidence in
Wife'S Divorce Suit

Another embarrassing sensation was
guiere dilettante, clubman and capi-
talist, yesterday when Anthony Giaco-
mazzi. proprietor of the Chantilly hotel,
342 Sutter street, swore out a warrant
for his arrest, charging him with de-
fauding an inn keeper. The charge of
nonpayment of bills for the use of
rooms at the Chantilly, coming, as it
does, on the heels of the suit for di-
vorce brought by his wife, which is still
pending, adds to the situation piquancy
seldom found in prosaic police proceed
ings of this character.
The claim of the hotel proprietor is
that Bruguiere lived at his place for sew
eral weeks and that he ran up bill of
s26o, which he inconveniently forgot to
trip to France. While in Paris he was
notified by his attorney that his wife
had commenced proceedings for divorce
on the ground of cruelty, whereupon he
returned, and scarcely had the first SEN
sation begun to settle when he was con-
fronted with the hotel bill and war
rant sworn out for his arrest.
Giacomazzi maintained that inasmuch
as the dilettante could dilly daily with
pleasurable pursuit in Paris he could
afford to meet the embarrassing bill.
On his return Bruguiere limited that
he might contest his wife's suit. If he
does so the expectations are that the
bill at the Chantilly probably will be
tagged exhibit A. and around it will
develop the most interesting evidence
of the case. Mrs. Bruguiere was former
ly Miss vesta Shortridge and is niece
of Samuel Shortridge, the attorney The
warrant was obtained from Police Judge
Shortail.

PASSING OF BIG
GAMBLING RESORT
A Mon Chateau Will Hereafter
Be Nothing Else Than Staid
Roadside Tavern

A Mon Chateau, the gambling den
of San Mateo county. has closed its
doors after many months of bold vio-
lation of the law. Thursday evening
the entertainers, musicians, bar tend
ers, professional gamesters and others
employed by the anagement were
discharged without notice, the signs in
front of the roadhouse We're torn down
and the lights at the end of the boule-
ward were extinguished. Munroe,
Hedges, Jewell and others in the retf-
nue. were loud in their accusations
against the proprietors' action, but the
accused smiled and were silent.
For "a hours all was peace and quiet
in the vicinity of the resort, but the
curious were not destined to disap-
pointment. An unknown appeared upon
the scene and took charge of the cha
which the law breakers retreated when
prying eyes were near. Collins and
Morse, two of the proprietors, departed
for San Francisco and Ed Henderson,
the leader of the. trio, is making prep
arations to do the same. All that
could be ascertained from the former
owners was that a Los Angeles capital
ist had bought them out and that they
knew nothing whatever about his in
tentions.
u W. del Norte of Los Angeles, a
former steamship owner, has procured
this place and as far as / know in
tends to make a family resort out of
it," was the announcement made by
F. Emmett, the representative of the
new proprietor. The musicians and
entertainers have been discharged, and
our only source of revenue will come
from the sale of meals and refresh
ments. Whether the venture proves to
be successful or not remains to be
seen. At any rate we will make a try"
In the name of all decency why
did the supervisors of San Mateo
county allow such place to remain
open?" is the question upon all sides.
The answer comes from Supervisor
McEvoy of Menlo Park. who was heard
to remark last week that the board
could take no action upon mere news
paper talk regarding the lawlessness
of A Mon Chateau.
The official records show that s4 all
night permits were issued in 6s days
just preceding the closing of the road
house, while but one such permit was
issued between December 81 and
July II.

STEAMERS CUT RATES
IN FIGHT ON COAST
West Coast Line Reduces Its
Entire Schedule

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 25.--A new turn
was taken in the steamship rate war on
the Pacific coast today when the West
Coast steamship company cut the rates
clear through to Puget Sound from Los
Angeles.
The Seattle rate. first class. has been
cut from s23 to s1s, with $3.50 cut on
the steerage rate. To San Francisco the
first class rate has been cut from 50 to
IS and the steerage rate from $3.50 to
$3.50. cut of 81 has been made to
Grays Harbor and corresponding re-
duction to Portland.
1t is not improbable that the steam
ship war between the Schubacn- Ham
ilton line and the Pacific Coast steam
ship company will cut into the railroad
passenger business between Los An
geles and San francisco.
