OAKLAND, Dec. 27.— According to
an understanding among the county
supervisors. Supervisor Homer prob
ably will be re-elected chairman cf
the board when that body organizes
next year. He will receive the votes
of Kelley and Bridge, at least, who
with Homer constitute the majority of
tlie board. Kelley probably will be re
tained as chairman of the building com
mittee, and Bridge of the county" In
firmary. Few changes are erpected in
the organization of the board of su
pervisors.
Each of the supervisors will receive
a salary of $225 a month when the
new terms begin. \ The s&larly was
raised from $125 and mileage to $225
without mileage after Kelley and
Bridge had taken office, four years ago,

change in the law, while the other
three supervisors, elected afterward,
did benefit.
The resignation of L. R. James as
transcript clerk in the office of the
county recorder was accepted today.
His successor will be named at the

$500,000 PAID FOR
CALIFORNIA MINE
Frank B. Keever and Boston
i Capitalists Take Over Prop*
erty Near Colfax
A deal, which. presages. an awakening
of interest In. California mining was
consummated yesterday, when Frank
B. Keever, a mining operator who
hitherto, has confined his activities to
Colorado and Nevada, paid more than
$400,000 In final payment for the Keles
ter mining company's property at
Gorge station, east of Colfax, in Placer
county.
Keever lives at t the Union league
club. He began dickering with the
owners of the .property about a year
ago, and succeeded In interesting a
group of Boston financiers. They sent
mining engineers to the ground and
found 6,000 feet of development work
had been done and that there was an
abundance of ore blocked out to war
rant the erection of a plant and In
creased development.
One hundred thousand dollars Was
paid down by Keever to the Rawhide
gold quartz mining company. A bond
was given for the remaining $400,000
and Keever had 18 months In which to
make his payments.
The bond was anticipated, however,
yesterday, and the $400,000 was paid.
The property formerly belonged to
George Patrick and Jack Patrick of
Dutch Flat; R. T. Harding, an attorney,
of this city, • and John Mathran, now
dead.
* Keever thinks that California is to
experience a renewed period of mineral
development. He says that work on
the Helester- property will be rushed,
so that dividends may be earned.

INVALID'S BUGGY
Man on Way to Hospital and
Wife Leap to Save Their
Lives
OAKLAND, Dec. 27.— E. M. Lynn, an
invalid, of 167 Kempton avenue, * and
his wife barely escaped death this aft
ernoon by leaping from their buggy
when the vehicle was run down by an
eastbound train on the Seventh street
local 'tracks at the Broadway cross
ing. The buggy was broken by the
locomotive and the horse was so badly
injured that a policeman shot the ani
maL
Lynn was driving with his wife to
the county infirmary, where he will un
dergo an operation for cancer of the
stomach. He himself held the lines,
and while brooding over his condition
he paid no attention . to his surround
ings. The first he knew of the danger
from the approaching train came when
his wife screamed. ' * "
The buggy then was on the tracks,
and the engine was only a" few feet
distant. Lynn had presence of mind
to grip his wife's arm and both leaped
from the rig. They got clear of the
tracks just as the train struck " the
buggy, but the- horse was hit and the
vehicle shattered.
Lynn and his wife obtained another
conveyance to continue to the infirm
ary. The horse and buggy hit by the
train were owned by Mrs. Lynn.

efforts hare been rewarded by -this Tery substan
tial redaction, which Is summarized as follows:

PARK DISTRICT
PLAN IS URGED
Commission Asks Council to
Provide for Land in Resi
dence Sections
OAKLAND, Dec 27.— The park com
mission has; recommended to "the city
council that the district plan be adopt
ed for the acquisition", of public parks
in residential [ sections. The recom
mendation •is made in a tetter written
to the ' council by Walter G. Manuel,
president of ,the \ park commission.
Manuel' explains that^ the system Is in
vogue In several cities and has proved
popular. The" operation is similar to
district street and sanitary work. Pro
ceeding under the terms of. ordinances,
the residents of any section majr select
a park site and petition the council <to
order, its purchase. The , cost is borne
by assessment on the taxpayers of the
particular district in which the prop
erty'is situated and which will derive
the benefit from it. »
Manuel's letter to the council reads:
"Concerning the acquisition of land
for. park purposes, this board takes
upon itself ; the responsibility • of rec
ommending for your favorable consid
eration the district benefit system;
that is, .the cost in each case shall be
assessed against property in a limited
district that has been benefited by the
improvement. It should be fully rec
ognized that the lake and its shore
linked parks constitute a geographical
feature of: the city adapted for park
purposes. only; and as^ its . development
and embellishment proceed will be en
joyed, and utilized more and more as- a
central pleasure park. Therefore this
communication has no reference to the
lake and its shore park's, but hast bp&
cial reference. to those sections of the
city where demands, are. continually
made for park spaces,' which will of
necessity be enjoyed solely by resi
dents of the particular section. .
"In a number of cities this plan is in
active operation and"*' while in • some
cases it has provoked opposition at its
beginning, the plan has In every- case
increased in popularity: '-. In" Kansas
City this method has been in operation
and in 15 years sectional parks have
been acquired costing $10,000,000 by
the initiative of different sections and
paid for by the property benefited. In
that city condemnation proceedings
were necessary In ' the first Instances
only. Now as additions are made to
the city, many property owners desire
to plat the ground to include parks at
their, own expense and deliver them fin
ished to the city. The work is done
under. the supervision of the park com
mission. The change in attitude toward
the park and boulevard system has
been due in each instance to the eleva
tion, of publio. taste, which soon begins
to demand beauty in city building. An
exceedingly important factor In this
matter has been the discovery that
beauty is an asset that can be realized
on .commercially. r
; : "The ' adoption- of this- plan as the
policy of the city is urged, amending
the laws necessary to make it easy for
the .people of any section to acquire
for themselves suitable parks in much
the same manner, as .when a sanitary
sewer is needed in any section it may
be petitioned .for, ordered done* and an
assessment district named by the coun
cil and the assessment collected by the
city.". \u25a0; .;, . . - X^;.':. -:\ \u25a0-;-; -.v--
BERKELEY MAY HAVE
; NEW LAW FOR STREETS
Acceptance of University Aye-
nue Raises a Doubt
BBRKELEY, Dec. 27. — As a result
of the question raised this morning in
the meeting of .the city council about
the . acceptance of University avenue
as a permanent, street, the council
probably will pass a law governing
the matter.
In view, of the protest filed against
the paving, of University avenue the
council has asked for reports i from the
city engineer and superintendent of
streets, which will be presented at an
early meeting.
Both Commissioner McClure and City
Engineer J. J. Jessup declare that the
work in the street is first class. The
council probably will accept it as a
public thoroughfare. ':^a^.H'fi

OAKLAND WANTS
SHIPPING CREDIT
Freight Delivered at Transbay
Wharves Is Given to San
Francisco
OAKLAND, Dec. 27. — At the regular
meeting of the directors of the cham
ber of commerce this morning steps
were taken to secure full recognition
for all the commerce coming to the
Oakland wharves. This was decided
upon after a communication from Con
gressman Knowland had been read, in
which it was shown that Oakland was
not being given credit for the amount
of freight brought to its wharves.
Dutiable freight delivered at Lonff
wharf and which should have been
entered in Oakland's subport custom
house and credited to Oakland's com
merce, has been credited to San Fran
cisco. It was shown that from July 1.
1908. to December 16. 1909, the total
weight of freight discharged at Long
wharf was 230,579 pounds, valued at
$446,466.53. on which a duty of |32.
497.02 was paid. None of this was
credited to Oakland.
The chamber of commerce plans not
only to have this large amount of busi
ness credited to Oakland but also will
ask that Oakland be made a regular
port of entry. * .
A letter from Senator Perkins wa»
read, in which he stated that th» cham
ber's proposition that an oil burning
plant be installed on the army trans
port Thomas had been submitted to
the quartermaster general. Perkins
said that he was in favor of the plan
and would do all he could for It.

the "Regular"
Physicians
Oakland. Cal.. August 6. 1910.
To the Public: I wish to certify that
I hare been cured by Dr. T. Foo Tuen
of chronic stomach trouble, so that
others suffering from the same cause
may be enlightened and so to him for
treatment.
About five years ago, while Ihrlnff in
San Francisco. I began to have attacks
of Indigestion, which gradually - in-
creased until I had to call In a physi-
cian, and while there I was treated by
ttp» American physicians of good re-
pute, but obtained no relief, the at-
tacks becoming more fre^twnt and
more severe; the pain in my stomach
at that time became almost unbearable.
Since movine to Oakland I have
treated with six well known physicians
who exhausted their skill with no good
results. I suffflrad such Intense pain
that I cried m acony and wished to die.
The doctors saici nothing could be done
for me except to give me morphine to
ease the pain. But my friends would
not have it so. Last September they "
hurried me to see Dr. Foo. who had a
short time b.efore located at 1912
Broadway, Oakland. After he had ex-
amined my pulse he said I had serious
stomach trouble.* I began to take his
herbal -treatment at once, and after
taking it for two months I noticed a
decided Improvement, seldom having
any pain, and felt hopeful and encour-
aged. After the expiration of six months
Dr. Foo discharged me as cured. ....
Five months have passed since then
and I have felt no return of the trouble
so I feel the cure will be permanent
My weight taken In health was 135
pounds, which had been reduced to 114
pounds when I went to consult Dr. Foo
I now weigh 145. and think in a short
time I will be up to my normal condi-
tion in every respect.
I found Dr. Foo a kind and courteous
gentleman, and would advise those who
are suffering to avail themselves of his
wonderful skill, which far. surpasses
that of any physician that I have ever
employed.
I believe I owe my life to Dr Foo
Yuen, and- my gratitude is unbounded
