OYSTER COMPANY WILL
WAR UPON HUNTSMEN
special dispatch to tiie call
NAPA. 3uly 23.— With the filing of
articles of incorporation of the Outing
oyster company in this city Saturday
an attt-mpt to keep all duck hunters
from hunting in the marshes and
sloughs surrounding Fly basin -was
brought to light.
E. H. Forestler, who claims to own
300 acres bordering on Xapa bay has
attempted for two years to prevent
San Francisco and local sportsmen
from trespassing on his premises. -' As
-the slough arid marshts around Ffy
bay afford a choice refuge for ducks,
hunters In larpe numbers flock to that
vicinity when the season- opens. For
e«tier instituted a suit against Xapa
htfntrrs. but: -the superior '^ourt.- ad-,
<uUged his "land" really to be?navigable
water, Forcstier having claimed in his
.certificate of purchase a portion of Fly
basin a navigable body of water.
Defeated in the courts Forestier said
he wou'.d estabflsh oyster beds on his
land and adapt the property to a par
ticular use, thus prohibiting trespass
ing. He Induced several other' nearby
property owners to serve as directors,
and started the Outing oyster company.
The directors are Leon Carrau, E. H.
Forestier. R. G. Newell and H. W.
Tuckey. San Francisco, and P. B. Lynch
of Oakland.
The word "Outing" in the r.ame of
the company exposed the subterfuge,
and a big fight between the duck hunt
ers and the company is probable, for
the marshes are popular with Kapa,
Vallejo and Santa Rosa hunters.

any change in the figures, saying the
assessment was a fair' one. -
At this^point Rowe said: . "Let .us
continue the matter /for one day and
we will try to find out whether the
assessor is assessing some property at
full cash value and others at 50 per
cent." '\u25a0\u25a0•";\u25a0:
This was agreed upon and members
of the board will look over the prop
erty before rendering a decision.

originally held at $5,600.

by Matilda Downing in the Brennan

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THK CAIX
REDWOOD CITY,, July S»«— Accusing
the members of the board of supervis
ors «of having been "fixed" by William
J. Dingee, prominent San Franciscans
made a sensational but unsuccessful flght
yesterday \u25a0 against the programmed clos
ing of _the Whlpple road, which proceed
ing, they claimed, was engineered \u25a0by
Dingee to enable him to secure a site for
a* gigantic storage reservoir near this

board of supervisors had sold out to
Dl ngee have, announced that they will
employ attorneys, flght the case* to, the
lastdltchr and.. i if • possible, send .some
of the supervisors and Dlngee to keep
company .'with his bosom _ friend,^Eu
gene E. Schmitx, at San, Quentln. ,"
The ill feeling which has been en
gendered iby^Dlngee's ' attempt* to . close
the "Whipplet road : and thereby secure
undisputed {title ;to a great reservoir
'site » culminated* yesterday 'ln the mo^t
sensational supervisorial meeting in the
history,'- of « San 'Mater> ; county. The su
pervisprs > were . accused of being . Dln
gee's-"gobd dogs." The lie waspassed
and • the members . of the 'board assured
that their action: would be fought to
the highest j court. If necessary. ~
The spokesmen for the protestants
were A. M.-, Robertson, "publisher and
clubman ; ; Dr.: C. ' H. Westf all. E. Mar
chand. Conrad" Bentx,, San Franciscans
who own summer homes at Redwood
City, and Nat >J.ißrlttain, a capitalist
of this city.. -The* board listened" im
patiently *to the - opponents \u25a0> of the
scheme, ; while" they*conflned themselves
to : a discussion <of the impracticability
of the' change, - the discomforts and
dangers which, '.they .Insisted, Iwould
result-if, the"; supervisors" granted [Dln
gee's' petition. « Supervisor; Coleman.
chairman of the board, closed the : pre
liminary; discussion by calling, for :a
vote, - which 'i was promptly, recorded In
favor, of, the scheme.
',' Conrad Bentz, ' shaking his fist at the
supervisors,* cried: '.'This deal has been
fixed. - It, has been cut and dried for a
year.* Your action shows on its face. a
dishonest,- purpose.* It Is' Invalid; .we
will take you into the courts and we
will' get at the bottom of this , unsavory
mess." '
,VA. M. Robertson, who has'- recently
acquired valuable- property, which will
be adversely affected by the change,
said: : ". ' . " . • :
"The proposed ; change - will endanger
the entire' country "below the" gulch

with Robertson's T clalm' that the "pro

He said: "The road Is, not too steep.
Why, we went over it, four 1 men and a
dog-, in.my automobile on the. high
speed." ' . i '
Nat ' J. Brittaln insisted that he was
the._vlctim of Dl ngee's spite as well as
his commercial avarice. The proposed
road will, according to Brittain, ' pass
within a -few feet of his door, but at
