OAKLAND, Aug. 16. — An enthusiastic
meeting of the general committee on
arrangements for the celebration that

this afternoon, when the several sub

A contract was awarded to P. G.

a 65 foot base and will be 4S feet high.
Flagpoles 26 feet long will be placed
at each end of the arch, from which
"will fly the national colors. The central
inscription on the structure will be,
"Oakland Welcomes the Western Pa
cific." while on one tide will appear
the words. "From New York to Oak
land," and on the other. "The Gate
way to the Orient."* The scheme was
devised by F. G. Jonos and E. A. Young,
who head the committee on decora
tions. The structure will be completed
by noon of August 22.
The city council has accepted the in
vitation of the chamber of commerce
to take part in the parade and exer
cises, and a vote 'of thanks has been
tendered to the commercial organiza
tions who have had the preparations
for the event in hand.
The parade will form at Fourteenth
street and Broadvray in time to march
to Washington street and down that
street to the Western Pacific station
for the arrival of the initial train.
The general committee in charge of
festivities will head the column with
city officials and will b« followed by
civic, commercial and fraternal bodies
and citizens. Every available auto
mobile in the city will be brought into
use, carrying appropriate decorations.
Broadway, Washington and Third
etreets will be drnped in flags and
bunting. Grand Marshal 'P. J. Han
rahan will have charge.
The pageant will halt at the station
for the exercises of the day. A tem
porary platform is in course of eon-
Ftruction, from which Mayor Frank K.
Mott will deliver the speech of wel
come. A response will be made by
representatives of the officials and
press correspondents. H. C. Capwell
will speak on Oakland's relation to the
Western Pacific, and John P. Irish .will
talk on trade. with the orient. Several
bands will furnish music. %
At the concluion of the exercises
those who arrive with the train will
be placed at the head of the line, which
will resume its march, passing up
Broadway to the point of beginning.
The visitors will then be taken to the
Claremont country club, where they
will be feted at an informal dinner.
Extension is Favored
OAKLAND. Aug. 16.— An ordinance
to grant to the Pacific com
pany a 50 year franchise for a railroad
line to be operated as an extension of
the Melrose local line to Stanley road,
Elmhurst, has been passed to print by
the city council. The company applied
for the franchise four months ago, and
the ordinance has been held in commit
tees of the council for consideration.
The extension will enter the country
extending through the annexed district
from Melrose almo«t to San Leandro
skirting the Scenic boulevard. It is
part of the Southern Pacific project to
gridiron the rity with local lines, which
" will eventually be electricized. :"7
A, W. Baker, representing the South
ern Pacific, appeared to ask that the
ordinance be passed at once, as the
railroad has its plans prepared and will
begin work on the extension as soon
es the franchise is granted.
Famous Loop Closed Up
OROX^ILLE. Aug.; 16.— The famous
Garden Spring loop, one of the many
features of the Western Pacific scenic

for about half a mile. The loop is al
most a peffeet circle and is built in a
valley none too large for the purpose.

slbly supplanting some of the now
popular varieties." .

more 'than>-18 of the best known varie
ties of peaches have been selected and
planted in blocks of from 10 to 25. The

CARL SCHILLINGS
SELL THEIR HOME
Separation of Wealthy Spice
Manufacturer's Son and His
Wife Dedared Final
OAKLAND. Aue. 16. — The Schilling
home, at 5&0 Walsworth avenue, to
which Carl Schilling took his bride '
three years ago, has been sold. Its
occupants have separated, never to be
reconciled, they say, and their declara
tion is borne out by the fact that they
have parted with their home. It was
sold to W. I. Wilson of the California
sash and door company, the considera
tion being in "the neighborhood of
J20.000.
Mrs. Genevleve Isaac Schilling, whose
wedding three years ago to- the son
of the wealthy spice manufacturer was
a social event, left home about J^pril 1
and went to her mother's house at, 1424
McAllister street, San Francisco, tak
ing with her her 2 year old child." She
is living now at the Hotel Carlton.
Berkeley.
Schilling htmself gave up the home a
short • time afterward and it -was put
up for sale. Incompatibility of temper
had asserted itself and the pair, agree
ing that they could never be happy
together, decided to live apart. Last
Saturday Mrs. Schilling sued for di
vorce. The suit will not be contested.
