“LAND OF SUNSHINE AND FLOWERS.”

territory west of the Rocky MountainBSxtending to the Pacific Ocffln and now known as the Pacific CH^t, was ccmparatively unknMm and unexplored prior to the gold Grays of 1849. In less than a half edrajury since that	thHun-

known land has been peopled, six great States and one territory fojmded.	States and this Territory are^^Met®)arsely

settled in comparis® with the Pastern and fcdxliS \\®tern States oi our country, but they are dotted over with cities, towns and villages, with farms and vineyards and other industries; the wild children of the forests of fifty years ago having disappeared, most of them to the ^^H)v lmHng ground® and remair^® to the government reservations; and with the march of c^ffliza-tion has also diHppeared the grizzly bear. The area of this vast territory is 756,900 square miles. On the western shore of this slope, occup®g 700 miles of the i2oHrof shore line, by a widtS of 200 to 270 miles, lies California. Its area is 15S,36Hpquare miles. It lies between 32 degrees 50 minutes and 42 latitude, 114 degrees a^^Bq degrees \Y. longitude. By reason of its pec^^Hsituation, between the mountainaBnd the Japan stream of thc^^fflfic ()cean, it ha® more diversified climate tB® any other State in tl®LTnion, and, as a consequence, its pfSuudl tions are the most varied. It i^®&and in area of th|®|||BB§ the Union. On the line between it and the ®^^np®|®(^Hin the Sierra Ne,®la Mounta®, it is®ld in®nter, wi®snow and ^® while at the foot of the® mountains, and between them and the Pacific Ocean, lies a very temperate and almost semi-tropical ex-

tent of territory, upon which temperature seldom falls to 32 degrees above zero. In the larger part of California the helio-tr^^Buchsia anc®her delicate flowering plants, as well as palms and other ornamental shrubbery that are early carried into the BBBnhouses in tl^^BBrn Stat®jare allowed to remain out-of-doors	winter without injury from the weather, while

bR>m in the (^Rn every month in the year. Of this great western State, Alameda county, the county seat of which is Oakland ®iews of the principal business houses and blocks of which are shown in thi®vork), is a favorable part. Lying near the but yet far enough away to escape the sharp bree® and |^^^®valent along th^^rast, it has a most equable and even temperature, protected fS^Bmarkable natural phenomena, described more fully in th®«dceeding page®8

EARLY HISTORY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY.

On June 18, 1797, under the authority $!§ the then rarvernor of the territory, Diego de Borica, they founded the Mission de San Jose, and with the aid of the

first settler in what is now the city of Oakland, aside from the Spanish grantdPland family, was Moses Chase, who locate^) his hunter’s tent at what is now the foot of Broadway, in the winter of 1849-50. In February, 1850,^® was followed by two brothers named Patton. About this time Colonel Henry S. Fitch and Colonel Whitney believing that the location was good for H^estment, and foreseeing that iE|vas destined to be the siteB a growing city, made an unsuccessful attempt to purchase the grant from Don Peralta, the Spanish grantee. In the same year/1850, Ressrs. A. J. MooiRhH. W. Carpentier and Edson Udams, claiming Bat the land belonged to the United States government, and not to Peralta, built a cabin, some timeStreet Scene in the Suburbs.

“ DAYS OF OLD—THE DAYS OF GOLD.”

The town grew so rapidly that the lcgi^^He of 1851-52 granted it a corporate charlra and its first election was held on the setmd Monday in May, 1852. In this same ■Pa ferry steamer was put on the estuary to ply	the

bay	(fakland and San Francisco. In 1853, Rev. Henry

Durant opened the (kakl^^Hfollegrawhool, which later became the California College andHas the HindatioiB>f the pre^^B State kfflversity of California, with its eRwment of $8,oooSra and upward of 2000 students, now located at Berkeley, wl^fii adjoins Oakland on the north. In March, 1854, Oaklan^^Bs incorporated as a city, and Horace W. Carpentier, who with Moon and Adams, had squatted on the land at the foot o^^ffiad-way, was elected as the first Mayor, although the place was as yet little more than a village. About this time the Alameda Express was started rad the Rev. ^^miuel Bell, who recentljmEM brated his fiftieth anniversary as a minister, organized a Pra-byterian congregation in the vicinity of what is now Third and firanklin streets.

GROWTH OF OAKLAND.

The early growth of Oakland, notwithstanding the faith of Carpentier and Adams in its future as a great city, was at this time, 1855 to i860, slow. The census of i860, after ten years ofL$£ttlement and growth, showed a population of only 1553. But in the next decade it began to forge aheac^B In 1864, ground wflbroke# atH)akland for the western terminal of the great transcontinental railway and the work was extended ^^tward to meet t^ree coming wraward.

Thg|jncrease in valuation of property in Oakland kept pace with its increa^am|]iogdlation. In 1854, the total taxable val-uhi) <mthe littl^Hty was <^05,905; in 1864, it had increased to $794,121; in 1870, to $4,2ra294; in 1875, toiHg,860,162; in 1880, to $28,691,640; in 1 8qo,.650. and in 1895 to $49,-

RAINFALL IN OAKLAND.

The topography of California and the influence of the warm current of the Japan gulf stream of the Pacific Oceal affects its temperature and rainfall. I11 some localities near the coast the annual rainfall averages 50 to 75 inches during the season, while in others the mean average runs from 20 to 30 inches. The average difference of annual rainfall in the State, extending from northwest to southeast is a little over two inches for every degree, and the meteorological records for a number of years show that the increase in rainfall is about one inch for every 100 feet in elevation in ascending the Sierra Nevada Mountains. There is more rain in the northern part of the State and a gradual decrease toward the south. Eastern people and those who have never visited California, and who read of many feet of snow and ,-ce palaces at Truckee or at Bodie in the Sierra Nevada, are inclined to think all of California lying under snow. The facts are that the points in the State where snow is measured by feet are located at an altitude greater than that of Mount Washington, while there may be ten or more feet of snow at the Summit and at Truckee at an elevation of 7000 feet the orange trees eighty miles nearer the Pacific Ocean are laden with fruit. The mean annual rainfall at Oakland for the past ten years was 24.79 inches. The smallest rainfall for any one year in that time was 17.20 inches in 1887-88. and the largest 46.95 inches in 1889-90. In the former year there were 55 rainy days during the year and in the latter 98. Snow is seldom seen in Oakland except upon the distant mountains. Tt is west of the cold zone, south of the heavy rain belts of the northern coast and north of the dry belt of the southern coast.

UNEXCELLED CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.

The topographical situation and climatic conditions of Alameda county give it great superiority over most other sections of California as an advantageous place of residence. Comparatively few persons, not residents of Alameda county, fully comprehend why it has such an equable and delightful climate. The city of Oakland, the county seat of Alameda county, lies from six to eight miles east of San Francisco, but it possesses an entirely different climate. There is practically a total absence in Oakland of the heavy sea-fogs and the keen westerly winds which are so prevalent nearer the ocean. Oakland and the neighboring towns, and a large part of Alameda county, lie in the basin formed by the inner and outer coast ranges. The outer coast range, upon the opposite side of the bay rises parallel with the ocean shore line to an average height of four hundred feet south of the Golden Gate, the narrow entrance to Sal Francisco bay, and an average height of at least eight hundred feet north of it. Tin’s elevated range deflects the trade-winds upward in their flight inland from four hundred to eight hundred feet, while the air currents flowing through the (rolden Gate on the water-level are divided by the elevated dome of Goat Island, and dellectcd in their course to the north and the south. The inner coast range is elevated from 600 to 1200 feet above the sea-level, and the upper air currents must necessarily follow a correspondingly high plane to enable them to pass over its summit. Oakland and the other cities and towns situated within the territory west of the inner coast range escape, therefore, from the unpleasant effects of these summer trade-winds. The whole of this specially favored territory is a warm, gentle, and well-watered slope, with a delightful southern exposure. This slope is the paradise of flower and tree life, as well as of animal and human existence. The average annual variation in temoera-ture at Oakland between summer and winter temperatures —taking the average temperature of the months including winter and those including summer—is only eight degrees. The mean temperature of winter is 53.10; of spring, 54.08; of summer, 62.03; autumn, 57.09.

Coal BunkersA HEALTHY COHMUNlTY.

The topographical situation and the natural conditions and phenomena already described contribute to make Oakland and its suburbs unexcelled for good health. The daily afternoon breezes that sweep over the county from the Pacific Ocean in the £Uplmer and autumn seasons are so tempered and modified bycthe distance from the ocean and the conformation of the land that they are mild and bracing, and yet are sufficiently strong to carry away any noxious or poisonous gases that may arise from sewerage or decomposing substances. The same topographical peculiarities serve also to carry away the fog prevalent along the coast, so that it seldom settles down upon the fikastern side of the bay of San Francisco. While the immediata coast from Point Reyes to Santa Cruz may be enveloped in fog,

()akland, and adjoining cities and towns of Alameda county, are in sunshine or only in partial shadow from the fog clouds passing several hundred feet overhead—being thus favored by nature, it is no wonder that the health of the community is exceptionally good, as is shown by the statistics, taken from the official records of the health offices.

The average death rate of Oakland for the past thirteen years shows an annual percentage of 13.32 per 1000.

A remarkable thing shown by the records of the ( kakland Health ()ffice is that in reference to those who have died from consumption. It is found on examination running back eight years that during that period 564 persons have died from pulmonary diseases and that comparatively few were old residents. Of this number 207 had been residents of Oakland for ten years, 99 died after a residence of between five and ten years; 20, five years; 68 between three and four years; 38 two years; 71 between six months and one year; 14 six months; 11 five months; 15 four months; 13 three months; 19 two months; 9 one month, and 31 less than one month.

Writing about Oakland, the late Dr. Samuel Merritt once said:	“The advantages which Oakland possesses in geograph-

ical position, salubrity H climate, fertility of soil and beauty of

scenery can scarcely be appreciated. The natural grade is so level that broad streets and alleys have been constructed and a perfect system of sewerage established at the smallest possible expense. The climate of Oakland is not only healthy, but exhilarating. The Coast range of mountains, so formed that the cold, northwest winds which prevail during the summer months, draw in through a tunnel-shaped opening upon the city of San Francisco with great force; but as soon as this strong sea breeze strikes the bay it spreads out like a fan and loses its strength and chilly coldness. At the same time the warm rays of the sun falling upon the sandy soil of Oakland, rarefy the atmosphere and lift these summer winds from the earth’s surface; thus, these strong winds and dense fogs that prevail in San Francisco during certain seasons of the year, seldom reach Oakland: they are killed by the same natural causes.”

PUBLIC PARKS—LAKE BOULEVARD.

There are eleven handsome and well-kept public parks in various portions of the city. The grass and shrubbery in these are green all the year round and in strange contrast with those of the Eastern cities. Men, women and children may be seen— the children enjoying themselves playing on the walks and the older persons walking around or sitting enjoying the pleasant weather—in November, December, January and February as much as in April, May, June, July, August, September or ()cto-ber. There is also a natural water park formed by an arm running up from the estuary of San Antonio, and which was formerly known as the north arm. A dam has been placed across this arm and a lake formed with flood-gates to allow Hushing occasionally with tide-water. This is called Lake Merritt. Its waters can be renewed with the ebb and flow of the tide. They are also used to flush the main sewer of the city from near the northern end of the lake. The water flowing into this lake from the estuary used for flushing the main lake sewer, empties from the sewer into the bay of .San Francisco in the opposite direction between four and five miles from where it entered the lake. An important improvement has been commenced looking toBrooklyn Presbyterian Church.

First Congregational Church.making- this lake a great water park. The improvements will include a boulevard 150 feet wide around this lake, a distance of three miles. It will, provide for foot walks, street cars and a double drive-way. About one-half mile has been already improved, and it is estimHal that about B ,000,000 will be required to complete the work.

OAKLAND HARBOR.

The Bay of ^^B Francisco has a total area of 480 square miles, incluc^^Kan Pablo and Suisun Bays, the Carquinez and Mare Island straits—in fact it is an inland sea and one of the largest n^^B harbors of the world; sufficient to accommodate the entire shipping of the world, with miles of room to spare. Oakland has a water front on the bay of San Francisco of some seven miles, not including its own land-locked harbor. In other words, Oakland has a harbor within a harbor, and this is what gives to it the greatest value for perfect safety to shipping. Storms may come and tornadoes may sweep the bay, but in the peaceful, land-locked harbor of Oakland ships rest in perfect security with nothing to trouble or make afraid. This inner harbor is formed by the estuary of San Antonio, an arm of the bay, which stretHvs inland for a distance of six miles, and on the shores of which the cities of Alameda and ()akland are situated. This estuary varies in width from one-fifth of a mile to one mile. It has been used for the purposes of commerce for over forty years. The promising commercial possibilities of this land-locked basin induced the Federal Government, in 1873, to begin its improvement, and for the past twenty years the work has been pursued as fast as the appropriations made by Congress for the purpose would warrant. These improvements consist of the construction of training walls to protect the entrance to the harbor, and the deepening of the channel for the better accommodation of commerce. The training walls at the entrance of the harbor run in parallel lines for a distance of two and one-half miles atBi equal distance of 800 feet apart. Between H'seHalls a channel is being dredged to a uniform depth of twenty-six feet at ordinary high tide, which will accommodat^^B draught of the largest sea-

going vessels. At the head of the harbor the (iovernment engineers have also begun the excavation of a tidal canal through a low neck of land connecting the peninsula, or encinal, on which the city of Alameda is situated and the southeastern corner of the city of Oakland. This tidal canal will join the waters of ban Leandro Bay with those of the estuary of San Antonio, the former covering quite as large an area as the latter, only much shallower in depth. The object of this junction is primarily to secure the scouring aid of the tide-waters of San Leandro Bay m maintaining a navigable depth in the channel of the estuary and secondly for the purpose at some future time, when the de-\elopment of commerce shall demand it, of the enlargement of harbor facilities. For the latter purpose a steel drawbridge has been constructed across the western end of the canal, through which vessels may pass.

'I'he (iovernment of the United States has already spent over $1,500,000 in this work of harbor improvement, and to finish the plans of the engineers it is estimated that it will take at least $900,000 more. ()f this sum $665,000 has been favorably considered and will probably be set aside by the next CongresB When the great work shall have been finished Oakland will have one of the finest, safest, and most commodious harbors in the world. It will be, in fact, large enough to accommodate the world's commerce. Ship and car will be brought together in it, the former being perfectly secure at its moorings no matter what condition of weather prevails.

The ultimate destiny of ()akland harbor is already beginning to manifest itself in the fact that immense dock and wffiarf facilities are being prepared along its shores. The work of deepening the channel has gone far enough already to admit to the city wharves vessels drawing twenty feet of water, and every year an increase in the tonnage of shipping, loading, and discharging in the harbor is recalled. During the year 1895 the shipping traffic of Oakland harbor reached upward of three million tons. The improvement of the land fronting on the harbor is keeping pace with the Government improvements, and the ground isHotel Metropole, Gor. Thirteenth and Jefferson Streets. Strictly First Glass.

northern, or Oakland, shore-line of the harbor.

The merits of this land-locked harbor are appreciated by ship owners, and it is the resort of a large fleet of whaling vessels and other ships seeking safe winter quarters. The pilot boats and government vessels of the coast lie here when not in actual service. All of the Alaska fleet of steamers and schooners lie here, and here they are fitted out for their summer voyages.

Improvements on the outer harbor on the bay side are also contemplated. The future growth of the commerce of ()ak-land when these harbor improvements shall have been completed can scarcely be overestimated.

MARITIME COMMERCE.

The maritime commerce of Oakland is yet in its infanev, but with its unexcelled harbor and its railroad facilities for reaching Interior points of the State, Nevada, Utah, etc., there is no doubt that in the near future there will be a great increase. As it H the business is of no mean order. The amount of coal landed each month at the wharves on the estuary amount to between 60,000 and 75,000 tons, of which the Southern Pacific Company alone lands between 30,000 and 40,000 tons, consuming on its various lines and leased lines nearly 30,000 tons monthly. An average of between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 feet of lumber is landed at these wharves monthly. Beside coal and lumber are Hided and reshipped from these wharves large quantities of brick, lime, cement, flour, wood, canned goods, and merchandise of various Hnds. At the city wharf alone, 600 or 700 vessels land annually, and the tolls amount to about $10,000. The (iovernment, during 1895, made OaklaH a port of entry and early in 1896 ex-Congressman W. B. English was appointed sur veyor of the port, so that now ships from all ports may land at Oakland wharves.

WATER SUPPLY—TWO INDEPENDENT SOURCES.

The city has two genuine competing companies and in consequence water rates are cut to the minimum and the citizens of Oakland receive the benefit. Both companies furnish a good quality of water and in abundance. That the water is pure and healthful is indicated by the low death rate in this city; a comparative table of which will be found in another part of this paper. The mains of the two companies have been laid over all parts of the city and a person can have his choice of the two waters. When it is said the patronage is about equally distributed between the two it goes to show the selection of water for household purposes is largely a matter of individual opinion.

SURFACE SUPPLY—The Contra Costa Water Company was organized in 1866 by A. Chabot and furnished water from Temescal Creek until about 1875, when steps were taken to have the waters of the San Leandro creek condemned and turn the water into an artificial lake in the hills about eight miles from the city which has since been known as Lake Chabot. The lake covers a large area and holds six billion gallons of water, connected with which there are 275 miles of pipe used to distribute the water through the city and its suburbs. In order to purify the water coming from the lake an immense filtering plant was erected at the lake, and since that time there has been no trouble with the quality of the water furnished by the company. Lake Temescal is still used to supply the higher portions of the city with water. The pressure of the water from both of the lakes is exceptionally strong and for this reason is of great assistance for fire purposes.

ARTESIAN SUPPLY—The Oakland Water Company was organized about two years ago With a capital stock of $3,000,-000. Prior to the formation of the Oakland Water Company, the northern part of the city was supplied in part with water from the Piedmont Water Company’s system, now merged in the Oakland Water Company. This is still used to supply the higher altitudes, but owing to the supply not equaling the city’s needs, it was necessary to enlarge the plant and the companyOutside the Winery of Linda Vista; G. G.

This company supplies about one-half of the city hydrants witl^Hgler to be used in case of fire and for street sprinkling

The great extent of lawns and gareffls in and about the city ■ft’hich $fwkept so bright and attractiv:|^HpTigation during the summer months, makes Oakland the latest consumer of water, aeaj£(j[ing to population, of any niomrn city. The average con-Knuption of Oakland, per capita, per day is 235 gallons. Washington, D. is the next largest consumer, using 170 gallons, while Londo^r England, uses only 33 gallons per capita and San Erancisco, 70.

ELECTRIC STREET LIGHTING.

Oakland Hone of the best and cheapest street lighted cities in tll^Sunion. The remotest districts being supplied with electric lights. These lights are supplied by the Oakland Gas, Light Bid STeat Cg^ipany which was organized under the name of the Bfekland Gas Light Company in 1866 and commenced supplying |ga|iijj in tlflKpjflowi 1 iBvear from the site of its present works, First and Washington streets. At that time the population of K§e	exceed 2,000 and ever since that time the com-

pany has kept pace with the growth and improvement of the city b$the {pensions of its mains, including Alameda and Berkeley, both of which cities it now supplies. In 1874, the block bounded by First, Jefferson, Second and Grove streets was purchased frffim the Ghirardelli estate and largj&ybailders and purifying houses erected ther&dM In 1884, t§i& company purchased the plant and privileges of the Th(^W||Brouston Ejgmgc CompjaiME&nd com-

menced the supply of electric light, the first installation being of electric lamps only. In 1887 incandescent lights for stores was gfptrodnced. The electric lighting station was built on the block bounded by First, Broadway] Second and Washington streets, but was abandoned in 1888, having become too small for the increase of business in that line, and a large central station was erected on the water front property of the company south of First street and on the corner of Grove. This station was subsequent! v, in 1893, duplicated. It now has a capacity of 1600-horse power.

Oakland was first lighted by arc electric lamps in 1887. There are now 420, which have displaced 1000 gas lamps formerly used for the lighting of the streets, and giving a much better light over a larger area. The usual method employed in lighting has been by the crane lamp suspended from the corners of streets and has been found most effective. The company has recently extended its lines for incandescent lighting and is now prepared to supply electricity for illumination or for power to any portion of the city of Oakland, and, as before stated, its street mains for gas also cover the entire territory. In its business it emplovs constantly over 100 men, and at times of extension of plant, 150. Its wages are higher in proportion than most companies employing labor in this or any other .State. The company in its policy of reducing rates continually without solicitation, has endeared itself to the public and has created a reputation for fairness of dealing that should be the subject of emulation by other corporations. The office building of the company on the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Clay streets, is one of the features of the city.

OAKLAND’S RAILROAD SERVICE.

An investigation will demonstrate the fact that (takland is one.of the great railroad centers of these United States. In steam transit there are four transcontinental trains each way daily —two via. the central route and two by the southern—and in addition one each way daily via. the northern connecting with the three northern transcontinental lines. There are nineteen interstate trains and twenty suburban trains passing through ( Oakland daily. In the ferry service between Oakland and SanmMmm

OAKLAND’S PASSENGER FERRY SYSTEM.

Oakland is connected with San Francisco by the best ferry system in the world. From ferry slips at the extremities of the narrow and broad gauge lines finely equipped steamers make half-hourly trips between the two cities, alternating with each other, giving fifteen minute service. The depots at the landings on the Oakland side are both large and handsome. The broad gauge depot far excels anything of its kind on the coast. It is the terminus of the entire Southern and Central Pacific systems, networking the entire coast and connecting with the Easterl railways, all culminate at ()akland. To reach San F'rancisco the passenger from east, north or south must cross the bav, as everv train ends its journey in this city. jBe depot is a huge skeleton of iron and steel, roofed and ct^edi#ffl|| glass, and at a distance it presents the appearance of a largeSiot house. It is some one hundred and seventy-five yards long by Kwenty-five yards wide, and within the structure are the offices HI, the division superintendent and other officials, also a restaurant and large waiting-room. It is spacious and light, and every consideration is made for the comfort of passengers. The steamers are all that con’d be desired for ease and comfort. The cabins are lighted by electricity and kept at a moderate temperature bv steam heaters. These two lines are for the exclusive use of passengers. Touching at the foot of Broadway is a third line for both freight and passengers, and, though not as luxurious as those of the other lines, the boats are comfortable and the trip is made in the same amount of time. Only 5 cents is chafed for a single trip on this line, 10 cents being ^^Bre ondfcjie other.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND READING ROOMS.

A free public library has been in existence since 1868, op:n-ing with a limited number of volumes which have increased by donatha^and purchH' from time to time until the present number is between^2&ooo and 29,000. As to the character of the volumeBftnd tH reading public the librarian, Mr. H. F. Beter-l^!n,Ha ^^Hpffeport had thHto say:	“Great care and atten-

tion is given to the character of belles purchased and to the building up of departments with a view to making the library useful to the student and thdfigfeneral reader. It^ interesting to^iote that during the last year over three thousand volumes have been added by purchase, a larger number than ever before added in one year—nothing of light or trashy nature, but works of permanent value. In fact, for the former there is no demand, the tendency of the readers and of the Oakland public being toward the higher grade in all fields of literature.”

Statistics:	Number of borrowers on library roll June 30,

IRON WORKS AND MACHINE SHOPS.

One of the most important manufacturing plants is that of the Judson ManufacturinjS|pmpany, just outside the city l'mita of Oakland, at Emeryville, on the line of the Northern Railway —a leased line of the Southern Pacificd|ompany. It is situated on the shore of the bay of San Erancisco, and has a frontage on the railroad of 1384 feet. It is one of the largest factories of the kind in the United States. The plant includes a rolling mill, machine shop, agricultural machine works, iron and steel bridge works. Tel thousand ton&tof iron are rolled annually. The rolling plant consists of mills of different sizes, with full sets of rolls for turning out all sorts of ironwork. The annual output is nearly three-quarters of a million dollars, and is increasing stead-ily.

One of the leading incorporations in this industry is the California bridge Company, with Ivories at Emeryville, in conjunction with the Judson works. The bridge company puts up thirty to forty bridges annually, its work not being confined to^felifornia, but many of the bridges crossing streams in other ^^Hmil Territories, and a number of them are models of en-gfjss^ljjHng skill. Its bridges are of wood, iron and steel. The Mjilianv has constantly in employ from 100 to 250 men.

Another industry of considerable magnitude is that of the BlsCific Iron and Nail Company, occupying a tract of fourteen acres at the foot of Market, Myrtle, and adjacent streets, Oakland. [The capacity of the factory is about sixty-five tons of iron and steel daily. It comprises a rolling mill, machine shop, and nail1'factory. The output is about thirty thousand kegs of nails per month.

The largest of these are the California Cotton Mill* The superintendent is a practical cotton worker, understanding all its details and has kept the mills running during the past three years of dull times. These mills occupy a block of 450 feet at Twenty-third avenue, and give employment to three hundred. The machinery is of the most improved pattern and cost half a million dollars. At these mills are turned out carpeting, seamless bags for grain, flour, alfalfa, salt, coffee, bolting for batting anRmops, burlaps, cotton wicking, warps, twines and cotton rope.

BREADSTUFFS.

The county of Alameda in early daRof ;ts history was1 largelyRbvoted to agriculture and the level portions now so largely given up to fruit culture were fields of waving grain. There is stiii a considerable quantity grown in the county and much of that grown in the great San Joaquin Valley finds its Kay to Oakland. There are three large flouring mills in Oak-band with all the l^flst patent roller processes. The CBden RuR Mills with a capacity of onBiundred and fifty barrels with eight double sets oBtevens’ rolleiBs mutter, bran separator, belts, purifiers, ^B The EnBpf*BillBdth FreBh burr stones, Wagner rollers, eB, makes a^^^^Bty of meals of their own manufacture.
