That is, something else for Okla

THAT the Santa Fe expects to spend
at least half million dollars in Guth-
RE in the near future in further inn
proyements was practically admitted
at the city council meeting last night.
General Superintendent Sharpe and j.
X. Cottingham, attorney, addressing
the council on the matter of a pro-
posed viaduct and the improvements
on Noble avenue, spoke Of the extern
sive plans for betterments here, for
which Superintendent Sharpe exhibit
cd blue prints. Work is to be COM
! menced on the yards at once.
>~~The present plans of the company
are for taking away freight tracks
from the front of the passenger sta
tion, tearing away of the coal chute,
extend south yards SO as to take care
Of all freight and add passenger
tracks at the station. Further he
spoke of the proposed yiaduct and the
expectation of closing Oklahoma and
Noble avenues.
There was discussion last night OF
The viaduct proposition. Robert Sohl-
berg, representing the chamber of
commerce, said that the committee
needed little further time for com.
rleting arrangements for the Cleye-
land avenue viaduct. The council fin
ally agreed to let the matter ride TO-
while longer.
Mr.. Cottingham said the Santa Fe
stood ready to commence work at any
time the wishes of the city could be
defined, stating that the city had new
er settled on what it wanted to do.
The discussion was brought about
by the proposition to pave Noble ave
nue.. II was moved that notice be
sent to the Santa Re to pave its por-
tion of the street. 1t was decided to
hold the paving in abeyance until
something is done4about the viaduct.
Councilman Morrison served notice
that there would never be any closing
Of Noble avenue, as hinted by the rail
road men He said il would never be
consented to under any circumstances
and that anybody who tried it would
annex first class law suit.
Mr.. Sohlberg said the sense of the
chamber of commerce was for a via
duct over either Cleveland or Noble.
The closing Of Oklahoma avenue at
the tracks Is considered probable
possibly a new building.
The conclusion last night was tnat
the affair should be left to the mayor
and council committee, commit

the railroad men. The council com

Perhaps the remembrance OF the es-
capped convict in the rowboat affected
his hearing. The dip of the blades,
slow and regular, continued. "Only
one pair of oars" said Grant, land the
boat is over there in the shade of the
island. Watch for 1t when it comes
out in that light space this side of the
point" The boys strained their eyes
and waited. "There she isw Hen
pointed. "One man in "a skifr." NUT
tered Grant, "and he is certainly try
ing to keep concealed. Only for this
doubling up OF all sounds, he could
have passed us easily" The boat was
again in shadow and in few moments
the oars stopped. There was a grating
sound of the bow being run upon the
beach, and the tapping of little waves
made by the man as he stepped from
the boat to the shore. There was the
noise of the hauling of the boat farther
up, beyond the reach OF the tide, then
stiffness again.
"He went on the islandm whispered
Hen, looking with big eyes at One.
"Hush; go below and wake all the
boys. Wake them one at a time and
make them understand that they are
to be quick and quiet Have them come
here to the companion way but keep
out of sight"
Grant gave his orders in a whisper.
One man in boat was nothing; one
man In boat with muffied oars might

with mufiied oars, landing on the
island, meant but one thing to Grant

Grant decided to leave the Alviso
sloughs. for, although there were plenty
OF islands, at high tide they were barely
above water and seemingly held no
place for cave. A council was held
in the cabin and the chart studied.
'The next island" said One, lis off
Redwood City. We can make it before
sundown tomorrow. SO let's up anchor
and on our way"
With the wind and tide in the Nancy's
favor she made the run to Redwood
by o'clock and anchored in deep
water few rods to the south of the
island. One insisted on a watch being
kept that night, for, although they were
out of the line of bay travel, an oyster
scow or a fishing tug might carelessly
run them down. So with Hen. One

beat OF oars on the water. and it
sounded close at hand. For some time
the sound continued approaching, then
receding, only to return again and
nearer. There was no doubt now that
