Cotton Brothers, contractors, who are contesting with the Southern Pa Are for Progress It is very proper just now that Oakland should demonstrate her industrial development and her material prosperity. Let the bands play, let the red fire burn, let the gay floats, swift autos and handsome turnouts bedeck themselves with the brightest colors and the most brilliant lights.

Now, the railroad company had no right to issue such an order, until the case Is settled by th.e court as to who has the rights and title to the property, the railroad must keep its hands off." RESURVEY 5IADE.

Samuel S. Austin, agent for the Webster Street Wharf and Dock Company, which claims title to most of the property lying between the bridges south of First street, ordered a resurvey of the premises made, and yesterday surveyors from the city engineer's office, began to relocate the stakes of the property lines. Austin states that the fight Is between Cotton Brother and the Southern Pacific Company, and that his clients are not interested in the battle, only in so far as their own land is concerned. He states that the wharf company has held title -to three acres in the space south of First street, and that the title was cific Company for the possession or a atrip of land on First street, between the Webster and Harrison street bridges, have asked the protection of Sheriff to prevent the railroad company- from carrying, oft their equipment, and to forestall an apparent attempt on the part of the railroad to send two hundred men to the site and remove Cotton Brothers' warehouse. Acordingly, Deputy Sheriff John Rellly was sent to keep peace.

Late In the afternoon, the Southern Pacific roadmaster, E. O. Corrigan, removed his forces. cars of material belonging to Cotton Brothers had been loaded, and were apparently about to follow the two sent away last evening, but Ernest Cotton put a- stop to this, and his forces unloaded the equipment and returned It to the warehouse.

Ernest Cotton states that this contest Is to be a fight to the finish, and 7 0 part of the claims sucessfully main that their legal representative. At- tained by Dameroa and Doane some torney W. R. Davis, will attend to years ago, and that he proposed to the legalities of the case. hold it against tho Southern Pacific "It Is true," said Cotton, "we did or anyone else.

A glove order or. merchandise order on the H. C. Capwell Company is the equiva-. lent of cash on any one of the thousands of right-priced articles in this big store.

It is handier than a check, because we don't even require identification we are only too pleased to immediately honor our own paper.

Rut more than utility is demanded In a suit rase today; it must have a good appearance, must be stylish: It must be right outside and particularly right In the Interior. There are hundreds of such suit cases in our leather department: they are priced $6.00, $6.50, $7.50 and to- $14.50.
