PHONE DEAL UP TO PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION
The city council yesterday practic-
ally passed the proposed telephone
merger to the new state public utili-
ties commission when it ordered the
Chicago Telephone company to in
vestigate and report what use the
Automatic will be to them .T...~
Previously President Bernard E.
Sunny of the Bell Company had said
such an investigation would take six
weeks. By that time the new utilities
board will be in existence and it will
be up to the new body.
Aid. Eugene Block delayed the
passage of any ordinance which
would have given the phone trust
the power to gobble the Automatic by
his motion calling upon the COM
pany to investigate.
An opinion from Corporation Coun-
sci Sexton was read in whichit was
stated that the proposed merger did
not constitute a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Aid. Jacob Hey said he wanted in
formation as to what the Bell Com
pany was going to do with the Auto
matte because he didn't want the Bell
to buy a lot Of junk and then add it
to their capital stock. ..E
Sunny said he didn't know whether
the Bell Co. would operate the Auto
matte or junk it.
1--WE only know in general way
about the Automatic properties" said
Sunny. "But we feel that competi-
ton is useless, futile and cannot last.
If the sales is not authorized at this
time, new capital will probably be
added to the Automatic and the sale

OAKLAND SHOW

The premium lists and entry blanks
for the Oakland and Alameda County
Kennel club show, September 5 and s,
at Piedmont rink, Oakland, have just
been mailed out. The classification is
very liberal and goodly trophy list
coupled with the able management, in
sures a good show. The show will be
held under the rules of the American
Kennel club. Mr. T. T. Kielhofer. the
vice president of the club, will superin-
tend the show. Entries viii be re-
ceived until August %. All entries
coming by mail should bear postmark
of not later than that date. Mrs. G. J.
Lingren of Burlingame will Judge all
toy breeds, while John Bradshaw of
San Francisco will Judge all other
breeds and unclassified specials.
This show will be one of the largest
ever held and will furnish champion
ship points to the winners that will
make it worth while to send dogs a
long distance for. One feature that is
attracting considerable attention and
commendation Is the placing of the
trophies. Aside from the regular list
to cover best dog and bitch in the
each breed, there will be many nice
trophies for the best puppy. best novice,
reserve winner, ETC., of the different
breeds. This has brought out an un-
usually large entry from all the bay
cities. southern California, Sacramento,
Chico. and, in fact, all California. This
system of placing the trophies prevents

of all trophies at every show by one

mind you, nor the outside trade could
detect the fish odor or flavor.
As to the egg production / can say
that the fish scrap was just as good as
any of the best meat scraps on the mar
ket, probably better in that respect. but
i could not say SO positively on account
Of the shortness OF the test. The fol-
lowing figures show the results and
every one can form his own opinion
about the different values of stuffs used
in the experiment.:
May-Meat scraps exclusively
$50 old hens 6 years., Gil eggs or
10 4-58 eggs per hen.
Pour hens q years., SO eggs or
23A eggs per hen.
3-16 YearIings, 3O3 eggs or 1876
eggs per hen.
June-Fish scraps exclusively.
Same as above, s72 eggs or i6 44-5s
eggs per hen.
Same four, 81 eggs or 24A eggs
per hen.
As above, s42 eggs or 1915 eggs
per hen.
From these two tables 1T can be seen
that there was marked gain while
feeding fish scraps, but could not say
positively whether it was due to the
change Of animal feed. 1t is very prob
able that the fish scraps were respon-
sible for the increase in egg production,
but at the same time we should nos for
