WILLIAMS Sells
DELTA HOLDINGS
Tract OF 2,77l Highly Fertile
Acres Disposed of for APP
proximately S275,OO0

Thomas III. Williams has disposed OF
his large holdings on Union island for
a sum approximating S275.O00. The
deal was arranged through the agency
of Harrigan, Weidenmuller & Rosen-
stirn- The name of the purchaser has
not been disclosed, but 1t is said to be a
syndicate for which the Anglo Califor-
MIA trust company is acting as trustee.
The tract embraces 2.771 acres of fer
tile land that has become famous for
the large crops it produces.
The land is located in reclama ton
district No. on the San Joaquin river
near Tracy. 1t has netted Williams a.
large annual income. In fact, IL is un-
derstood that the new owners are in
clined to hold it as an investment, al
though it was the original intention to
cut it into small holdings and place it
on the market.
The soil is adapted to the raising of
grain, alfalfa, beans. potatoes, aspara-
gus, vegetables and fruit. A large por-
tion was sown last year in barley and
returned a very satisfactory revenue.
There has been unusual activity in
these delta lands recently and several
transactions have been recorded in the
island property.

BURLINGTON DAILY
SERVICE PROMISED
Passenger Train viii Enter San
Francisco Under Western
Pacific Agreement

Further confirmation of the traffic
agreement between the Burlington and
Western Pacific railroads. which was
exclusively announced in The Call some
weeks ago, was received in this city
yesterday when it became known that
as soon as the Western Pacific opens
for passenger business a regular Bur-
lington train will leave this city daily.
The train will run over the Western
Pacific to Salt Lake City; over the Den
yer and Rio Grande to Denver and
thence over the Burlington to Chicago,
touching at the different cities of the
middle west that are on the Burlington
line
The resignation of T. NJ. Schumacher
as vice president in charge of traffic of
the Western Pacific and Denver and
Rio Grande will undoubtedly cause a
delay in the opening of the Western
Pacific for passenger traffic. Schu-
macher went east two weeks ago with
the express intention of comforting with
President Jeffery of the Western Pa
cific relative to the organization of the
passenger department. 1t was ex-
pected that a large number of ap-
pointments would be forthcoming upon
his return to this city. Schumacher
resignation, however, apparently leaves
the Western Pacific without a traffic
head.
No one has been suggested as Schu-
machers successor, and unless one is
chosen shortly the opening of the West
ern Pacific for passenger business is
likely to be postponed until late in
the fall

MUSICAL STUDIES
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
ROncOvieri Renews Recommen,
dation for Recognized Course
in the Upper Grades

Music will play an equal part with
other studies in high school hereafter
if superintendent of Schools Romeo
vieri has his way. He addressed a let
ter to the board of education yester-
day in which he renewed the recon-
mendation made last year, setting
forth the fact that the University of
California had included music among
the preparatory subjects for admission
to the university, and announcing the
necessity of giving credit only by ex-
animation at the university until the
schools of the state were prepared
to give systematic instruction
Roncoyieri said that music was
taught In the grammar schools and de-
clared that it became no less impor-
tant in the high school
He suggested that credit be given
for instruction gained outside of school
hours, board of examiners composed
of experienced musicians of recognized
ability to pass on the outside lessons
and practice.
Besides this regular instruction in
chorus work, musical notation. theory
and history of music should be given.
For the present one teacher could have
charge of the work in the four high
schools and. the superintendent urged
w
Deane as head of the department of
music, to take effect at the opening
of the fall term.
President Bannerman expressed him
self as being entirely in accord with
the ideas of the superintendent. but
action was deferred until the confer
ence of the board Monday.
The board and representatives from
the city architects office met at the
site of the new Denman school at
Pierce and Hayes streets yesterday and
discussed the advisability of estab-
fishing girls school there. After in
vestigating the matter and listening to
the objections of President Banner
man on the ground that the climb was
too severe for the girls. it being some
ov or so feet from the entrance to the
first floor, the city architect was asked
to prepare figures as to the cost of
terracing the grounds and also to find
whether it was proposed to grade
Hayes street, which would make a cut
of Is feet more.
A letter was received by the board
yesterday from De la r. Kleiff, a civil
service clerk at Fort Mcdowell, Angel
island, asking If it were possible TO
establish a school there, as the chill
dren of tender age were deprived of
educational advantages. 1t was found
that there were about 25 children on
the island, SO the secretary was in
structed to find if suitable uuarters
could be secured for school and what
general conditions prevailed, with a
view to sending a teacher there next
fall.
Maria Fairchild was granted extern
sion of leave of absence until June !

IOWA MAN WORTHY OF
RESPECTFUL HEARING

Mr.. Hyde's standing makes a state
ment it is worthy of careful considera-
tion. In a recent communication he
says:
after years of suffering from chron-
ic stomach trouble. and trying nearly
every known remedy as well as treat
ing with some of the best physicians
in the country found myself nerv-
Gus wreck My appetite was gone.
and the little / did eat distressed me.
1 could not get a sound nights sleep.
and arose in the morning feeling tired
and worn out My failure to secure
relief discouraged me. and I began 10
feel that there was little hope of my
ever again enjoying good health.
Some time ago. however. 1 became
interested in some newspaper articles
dealing with the ideas and beliefs of L.
T. Cooper. His theory that the stomach
is responsible for the state of ones
health, either good or bad, impressed
me as being logical and induced me TO
give his new discovery medicine a
trial The first bottle helped me won
derfully. I continued the treatment.
and improved rapidly Four bottles
made me well. I am sixty years OF
age. and today feel younger and enjoy
better health than in the past ten
years"

boon to stomach sufferers We sell It.
