Mayor Dreams of Chippewa.

An ordinance extending Garden
street was called up for It's third read
ing by Councilman Bodler. The may
or was evidently dreaming at the time
of Wisconsin, as he announced that
the council would consider an crdin-
ance extending Garden street to the
Chippewa river. This caused a ripple
of merriment among the councilmen
and the spectators which ruffled the
mayor. and he stated he was not pre-
pared to give an exact description Of
the matters in the ordinance. Coun-
Gilman McEuen called his attention
to the fact that the distance to the
Chippewa river was great. and then
the mayor awoke and came
back to the council chamber

nance extends Garden street from ite

Broker Injured by Bursting
Barrel of FOwling Piece

Nat Boas. a broker. returned from a
hunting trip at Los Banos Monday
morning with nine ducks, shattered
shotgun, and five stitches in his cheek.
1t was all the result of an invitation
given him by Edward Bosqui to spend
a day of sport on the preserve of the
Field and Tule club at Los Banos.
Boas in some unexplainable way
stuck the muzzle of his gun into the
mud, and then fired at a flock of ducks
The gun barrel burst and strip of
steel torn from the end struck Boas
in the left cheek. DIR. H. r. Oliver
was on the ground and he took five
stitches in the wound.

the first member of the city govern
ment to recommend the acquisition of
Spring Valley. That was as far back
as 1902.
Il believe the offer we have today
is better than that of s32, 900, 900 made
19 months ago. That offer was hedged
by many conditions that were not ac-
ceptable. The way for us is clear now.
We should go ahead and get both
systems"
ENGINEER ENTHUSIASTIC
J. III. Dockweiler, the consulting en-
gineer, was equally enthusiastic.
THE land involved in the Spring VAL
ley holdings" said Dockweiler will
be worth in time all we are asked to
pay for the plant. In ten years we
can sell s1O,O00.0o0 worth of land. /
think it a great opportunity. and
hope ii will not be neglected.
There has been general speculation
as 20 the individual profit that William
b. Bourn will reap IL the sale goes
through. He is popularity credited with
possession of 10000 shares of stock
bought at about sci. Should the city
buy the plant at $4,000 900. Bourn
would receive SCI share. q profit of
$40, or total of s1,600,000. 1t was
stated yesterday by one of Bourn's
friends that, while his profit might look
like $1.600,000 on paper, it would more
likely approximate 100000 or s750,000.
Still, the sum isn't bad at that.
Spring Valley responded readily in
yesterdays market and leaped to $44S7,
clear gain of s4.S7h over Saturday.
Trading was brisk and 500 shares
changed hands. The stock has become
highly speculative in view of the ap-
preaching election.
While the date for the election will
not be fixed until next Monday, 1t is
very apt to fall January 9. the day
when the new administration takes
charge. Election Commissioner Gator
announced that the present register
would be used.
During the next few days Consulting
Engineer Dockweiler will be busiIy en-
gagged in checking up the Spring VAL
ley properties, so as to have a COM
pfete inventory for the board of super
visors.
