CAMPUS MANSION
TO BE FINISHED
Will Complete Dwelling for DR..
Wheeler and Entertainment
of Roosevelt

BERKELEY, Feb. 1S.-The mansion
built for Doctor Wheeler nine years
ago, just after he arrived from the
east to assume the presidency of the
university, and which in its unfinished
condition has been regarded as more
or less of white elephant, will finally
be completed by the regents Bids have
been called for the cabinet and car
pentry work, to be opened February 2S.
and the structure will be rushed to
completion.
The activity of the regents is thought
to be the result of a request from
Doctor Wheeler himself Former Pres
ident Roosevelt is expected to arrive
here some time in July or August, and
the mansion should be finished by that
time. The African lion hunter will, no
doubt be the first person entertained
in the stone mansion, which will be
fitted up in a style commensurate with
the position of the president of the
university.
Nearly 100000 was expended on the
building, but Doctor Wheeler has re-
fused to occupy it, asserting that his
salary was not sufficient to furnish the
home and to keep it up in style that
such dwelling requires. He was
given an increase in salary, however,
and has consented to live in the house.

THIS GOLD BRICK
WAS REAL THING

OAKLAND. Feb. 1S.-In the arrest Of
Arthur W. Stowe, a former resident of
this city, who is charged with robbing
the Winnemucca, New. bank of $4,000,
the police believe they have uncovered
one of the widespread high grading

Stowe, who spent last night in the

iff Van Fleet of Winnemucca, was ar
rested in Seattle while attempting to
sell brick of almost virgin gold.
After his arrest Stowe declared that
the officials of the National Bank of

that it had been highgraded from the

ON MARCH 18th THESE
PRICES WILL BE RAISED

We put this property upon the market
years ago and have sold 100000 worth of
lots and spent 100000 in Improvements
without raising prices.
The property is worth more money and
has been for 18 months. On the 18th of
March we will raise the prices about 20
per cent.
We feel that it is only right to notify you
in advance of this action and TO say that
there will positively be no exceptions. Fur
thermore, certain developments to the adj
vantage OF Grand Avenue Heights are under
way which will justify us in raising prices
again about 4 months after March Ia.
There will be at least two advances before
