} VOLUME CVm.— NO. 115: [; MERCHANTS ASK STATE TO VOTE HARBOR BONDS India Basin Improvement Cam* paign Will Be Led by Governor Gilleti Speakers Will Urge Need for Immediate Action, Here and In San Diego A slate wide campaign in behalf of the $1,000,000 bond issue for the im provement of India basin is being planned by the local commercial asso ciations. The hostility to the measure has been inspired by certain-lo ra! lumber and shipping companies ha 6 served to impress upon the commercial bodies the necessity of immediate ac lion - V"! Committees have b€^en appointed to devise ways and means of carrying the campaign throughout the state. The overwhelming majority given the measure in San Francisco at the last election is taken to indicate that the people of this city are duly aware of i the importance of the contemplated im provement. It has been given the In . • dorsement not only of the chamber of c ommerce. Merchants' association and \u25a0 Merchants" exchange, but the labor council and the building trades coun cil as welL Sf'EAKERS TO TOUR STATE . » It is the intention to send speaken? ? for the bond issue to the various sec - tions of the state. Governor Gillett has ..volunteered and will head the list of • speakers. . Eight or ten in all will be &ent out. The fight will be made<«not only for ilte India basin act, but for the $9,000; 000 issue for general harbor improve orients and for the $1,500,000 for San "Diego. It Ig held that this work Ss absolutely essential at this time. It will require from now until 1915 lo compiete the Improvements contem ' plated and at that time the Panama •canal will be opened, bringing in its ..Wake the greatly increased demands upon the harbor. The lumbermen who oppose the Jndia \u25a0 basin project profess to have done a 'vast amount of work on their property at Islais creek. It appears, however, thai only a few thousand dollars have been expended and no work o£ conse e- quence accomplished. SPECILATIOX IX LAXD When the purchase of the C 3 blocks \u25a0was first suggested the land stood on the assessor's books at $35,000. Re cently there has been some active spec ulation in* this property by persons in terested in the opposition. Among those lobbying for the opposition is L. J. jfcooffy. The real estate records of Wednesday show the following items of interest: "Clifford G. Cook to L. J. Scooffy, lot \u25a0 "at NE. corner of Calaveras and Dakota streets, E. 200. X. 18:11, NW. 363:2%, S. 229:3: $10. "I«. J- Scooffy to Somerß &, Co., same; $10." The lot In question is located within the basin and is part of the land which the state purposes to purchase. At the meeting of the Merchants' and Ship Owners' association Wednesday Scooffy endeavored to have that body declare against the India basin act. A heated discussion followed and final decision was put off until next Wednes day. MAN IS KILLED WHILE CRANKING HIS OWN AUTO Entangled in Machinery and Is V,*. Mangled to Death PROSSER. Wash..
