The lodge is in a prosperous condition.

WEST BERKELEY PLANING MILLS .- These mills were put in operation in 1874 by J. H. Everding, and were purchased by Schuster & Niehaus, the present proprie- tors, in the Spring of 1876. Under their management a great deal of machinery has been added, and the capacity largely increased. At present the machinery comprises one planer, one sticker, four saws, one turning-lathe, one band-saw, one jig-saw, one shaper, one tenanting-machine. and one boring-machine. They employ twenty-five men.

WEST BERKELEY BREWERY .- This is a small industry lately started, by Christian, and is not yet fairly in working order.

THE HOFBURG BREWERY .- California is rapidly taking a prominent place as a manufacturing and industrial center, and in no branch of enterprise has the State made such pronounced progress as she has in the brewing industry. Already Cali- fornia beer is a favorite throughout the coast, and even in the Western States. The latest effort in this direction is the Hofburg Brewery, and although the company has only been brewing about six weeks there is a great and constantly increasing demand for their beer far beyond our local boundaries. The firm name is Neller & Co., and the brewery is located at the corner of San Pablo and University Avenues, West Berkeley. The building and apparatus is one of the most compact and convenient in the State, and was arranged with a view to rapid and extensive production. At the rear of the main building is the pump over a well of pure, cool, gravel water oozing out of a well sixty-five feet deep and eight feet in diameter, a second well of equal capacity adjoining and connected with the main well. As pure water is a prime requisite in the brewing of beer, the company spared no effort in locating their well in the best possible position, prospecting two years before they were finally satisfied. The result of a close analysis was eminently satisfactory, and they now claim to have the best water for their purpose on the coast. They can tap fifty feet of water even after they cease pumping for twelve hours. Close by the well is an improved pitch machine and furnace for glazing the inside of the barrels to obviate the woody taste so common to ordinary beer. The engine, to which is attached a pump for distribut- ing hot water to every portion of the building, was built by Clot & Meese, of San Fran- cisco, and has a capacity of twenty-five-horse-power. The boiler is forty-eight inches by sixteen feet. The buildings are located on a plot of ground an acre and a quarter in extent, the main building having a frontage of eighty feet, by forty feet in depth, being three stories in height. The office adjoining is twenty-four by eighteen feet. The mash-tub, which is located in the second story of the main building is an improved

patent by Andrew Stroebel, one of the proprietors of the brewery. It was built by Leopold Keiffer, an experienced millwright, and is five feet high and twelve feet in diameter, having a capacity of over four thousand gallons. In the tub is a patent washing-machine, above which projects a capacious hopper, the whole apparatus hav- ing a brewing capacity of five hundred barrels per day. The kettle receiving the mass has a capacity of seventy barrels, or two thousand one hundred gallons. By means of a powerful beer-pump the brew is forced to the cooler in the third story. The cooler is a zink-lined shallow, open, parallelogram forty by thirty-six feet with a capacity of four thousand five hundred gallons. The tanks used as adjuncts contain from four to five thousand gallons each and the hogsheads in the cellar, eight in num- ber, contain about five hundred gallons each. All these tanks and hogsheads were made by the company's cooper, Julius Lehman. Attached to the running apparatus is a patent heater, patented by Herman Gantert about two months ago, the improv- ment being that cold water may be converted into hot water and steam in one minute and conducted to any portion of the building. The capacity of the brewery at present is twenty-five thousand gallons, or seventy barrels, per day, but this out-put can be easily doubled when occasion demands, and, judging by the popularity which the beer has already attained, this will soon be necessary. Andrew Stroebel, one of the partners, formerly connected with the Fredricksburg Brewery in San José, has charge of the brewery proper, and his adaptability for the work he has undertaken is already appar- ent in the superior excellence of the beer he is brewing. The bottling department is in charge of C. Turk, who will receive orders for keg or bottle beer at the general depot on the corner of Fifteenth Street and San Pablo Avenue.

OAKLAND STOCKYARDS .- In 1876, H. M. Ames selected a site on the bay out nearly to West Berkeley as a suitable location for a stockyard and slaughtering-house. He began business there in a small way, expecting the railroad to soon be completed to Berkeley so that he could have shipping facilities. But in this he was disappointed for that year, and after a few months gave it up. During the next year the road was built, and the site chosen by Mr. Ames being considered very eligible was decided upon by others who located there, and the business has grown until now the following named gentlemen are engaged in the slaughtering business at this point: Messrs. Grayson, Harrell & Co., Morris & Crow, Stewart & Co., Avey, and Watkins. Mr. Avey is engaged in the slaughtering of sheep, and Mr. Watkins in the hog butchering business. The first three named firms slaughter about nine hundred animals each, per month. An extensive tripe-works is also located at this point.

STOCKYARDS TANNERY .- This industry was begun by Messrs. Cook & Corder, at the Oakland Stockyards, in April, 1876. At that time they. erected a building one hundred feet square and two stories high. There are twenty vats in use. They also do a large wool-pulling business, their average being about twenty thousand pounds per month. An engine is used for power about the place.

CARBON-BISULPHIDE WORKS .- This article is more generally known by the name of "squirrel poison," from the fact that it is used very extensively for the purpose of exterminating those pests. It is also used by many vineyardists as a means of stay-

ing the ravages of the phylloxera, though whether or not it has ever accomplished this object is a mooted question, with the most of the argument in favor of the nega- tive. The works were established in November, 1882, by J. H. Wheeler, the present proprietor.

WHEELAN'S FLOUR MILLS .- These mills are the property of F. H. Wheelan, and are located at West Berkeley. Business was begun in June, 1881. There are two runs of stones, and machinery for making pearl barley, cracked wheat, oatmeal, cornmeal, and Graham flour. The engine is forty horse-power, and the building is fifty by seventy-five feet, and two stories high.

PIONEER STARCH WORKS .- These works are located at West Berkeley, and are owned and conducted by J. Everding & Co. They began the business in San Francisco in 1854, and moved to West Berkeley in 1855, so the works may well be termed "pioneer." The works are on a small scale.

BERKELEY LUBRICATING OIL WORKS .- This industry was originated by A. C. Deitz & Co., who are the present proprietors. In October, 1880, operations were begun in a building about half a mile north of Delaware Street, West Berkeley, but a year later the works were destroyed by fire. Nothing daunted by this disaster, the firm at once established their works at the present location in West Berkeley. The building is sixty by one hundred feet, and one story high. There is also a refining- room, about twenty-five by fifty feet, in the rear of the main building. While the works are known as a lubricating-oil manufactory, yet refined coal-oil is made here at the rate of fifty barrels per week. The crude petroleum is procured from Ventura County, and refined at the works, where a fine grade of oil is made. The residuum is used for lubricating purposes. There are a number of products resulting from the distillation of petroleum, but coal-oil and lubricating-oil are all that are worked up at this place.

STANDARD SOAP WORKS .- This, the leading industry of this kind, both in Alameda County and on the Pacific Coast, was set on foot in 1875, by R. P. Thomas In that year five acres of ground were secured adjacent to the ferry-landing at West Berkeley, and a main building one hundred and fifty by two hundred and fifty feet, and three stories high, was erected thereon. On the south of this and adjacent to it is an engine-room seventy-five by forty feet, and a box factory of the same diinen- sions. On the north side there are two wings, each fifty by one hundred feet, the westerly one being used for a storage room, and the easterly one for a barn. At the northern extremity of the enclosure is a warehouse, fifty by two hundred feet. In the engine-room there are four boilers, used for generating steam for the engine and for the processes of soap-making where steam can be utilized. The engine used is sixty horse-power. In the box factory there is all the machinery necessary for prosecuting that important branch of the industry, such as rip and cross-cut saws, planers, etc. A great amount of lumber is consumed annually in the manufacture of boxes, for the bulk of the product of these works is boxed before being placed upon the market. On the lower floor of the main building may be seen great quantities of soap in huge blocks ready to be cut up into bars of the proper size. On the second floor this pro-

cess is conducted, also the stamping of the bars. For this purpose on this floor there are three hand-presses, and one run by steam. Here, also, is the machinery for the manufacture of washing-powder, which is very popular, and is packed in ten-pound boxes, and in one-pound packages. Here, also, are the mixing machines; also, lye- tanks and drying-rooms. On the third floor are also a number of lye-tanks. Here are seen the tops of two monster soap kettles, each having a capacity of two hundred thousand pounds. These kettles extend from the third to the first floor, and are about thirty feet in diameter. On this floor is the printing department, where three job- presses and one cylinder press are kept constantly at work. The out-put of the office is one million wrappers per month. The outfit of type is complete, and some excel- lent chromatic work is turned out in their illuminated pamphlet covers and fancy labels .. The toilet, castile, and other fancy brands of soap are made, stamped, and packed on this floor. In the toilet soap department four presses are used for stamp- ing the designs upon the bars, different dies being used as required. After the soap is ready for shipment it is stored in the warehouse to await sale. The process of soap- making, while appearing simple, is yet very complicated, not that the various stages of it are hard to comprehend, but that the ultimate result may be perfect requires a thorough knowledge of the business. The ingredients, which, every one knows, are fatty substances, usually tallow, lye, and resin, are mixed in proper proportions in large kettles, and sufficiently cooked. It is then drawn off into a series of frames, and allowed to become solid, when the frames are removed and the soap is then in a block about fifteen inches wide, three feet high, and four feet long. These blocks are passed through a frame-work of wires, which cuts the soap into slabs of the required thickness, and they again are cut by a wire contrivance into bars and cakes of requisite length. The cakes are then stamped, wrapped, boxed, and labeled, and placed in the warehouse ready for shipment. For toilet soaps only the purest ingredients are used. After going through the process described above, it is cut into thin shavings and placed on tables to be bleached. It is then crushed and pressed into cakes, stamped, wrapped, and packed in paper boxes ready for the market. For all this there are a number of machines, which it is unnecessary to describe in this connection. Castile soap is made by what is known as the cold process; that is, the ingredients are mixed cold, and placed in the frames, and the soap is cooked by the heat generated by chemical action. The lye is made from caustic soda, which is imported from Liver- pool in sheet-iron casks. The works are located on a tract of five acres. Sixty men are employed in the different departments, and the products of the works amount to one million pounds of soap per month. The railroad runs in front of the works, and a side-track allows cars to be loaded at the door. Shipments for the city are made by the Berkeley ferry-steamer, owned by this company.

WENTWORTH BOOT AND SHOE COMPANY .- Operations were begun by this com- pany in April, 1879, in the old Cornell Watch Factory building at West Berkeley, which was most excellently adapted for the purposes of a boot and shoe factory. I. M. Wentworth is President of the company; C. L. Field, Secretary; I. M. Wentworth, Superintendent; and W. H. White, General Manager. One hundred and fifty men are employed, and an average of;forty dozen boots and shoes per day are manufact-

ured. A great amount of the work is done by machinery, which expedites business very much. The machinery is run by steam. On Fell Street, San Francisco, this company has a very large factory, in which two hundred and fifty men are employed. The building at West Berkeley is fifty by two hundred and fifty feet, and is four stories high.

BERKELEY "ADVOCATE."-This sprightly suburban journal was established in March, 1877, by the present proprietor, H. N. Marquand. The office outfit comprises a hand-press and job-press, also a full line of body and job type. The circulation of the paper is fully commensurate with the field in which it is located.

SHELL-MOUND PARK .- This park is situated between Emery Station and the Oakland Trotting Park, on the Berkeley Railroad, and is reached every thirty minutes, via Oakland Ferry, from San Francisco. It derives its name from one of the ancient Indian shell-mounds which is still in a fine state of preservation, and rises to a height of sixty feet, its summit being crowned with a dancing-pavilion. The park was first opened as a holiday resort in 1876 by E. Wiard, but in 1880 it was leased for ten years to Capt. Ludwig Siebe, who has made various and extensive improvements within the domain. The park contains two of the largest dancing-pavilions on the Pacific Coast, a race-track for games, with covered seats, accommodating two thousand people; turning apparatus, swings, flying-horses, bowling-alley, a shooting-range, containing four thirty-yard targets, one one hundred-yard target, twelve two hundred- yard targets, and four five hundred-yard targets; fruit and ice-cream stand, and shoot- ing-gallery, and a dining-room, where meals are served to the satisfaction of the public.

OAKLAND TROTTING PARK .- This track was originally laid out in 1871 by E. Wiard, the present proprietor, and is justly considered among the finest on the Pacific Coast. It is one mile in circumference, being also fitted with all modern and necessary improvements. It contains two hundred box-stalls for horses, and two hundred cattle-stalls, and is situated opposite Shell-Mound Park, on the line of the Central Pacific Railroad, trains passing it every half hour. In 1879 it was here that the famous St. Julian lowered the record of the world, and trotted a mile in two minutes twelve and a quarter seconds.

DWIGHT WAY PARK NURSERY .- George R. Bailey, Proprietor. This nursery was first established in East Oakland, in 1868, by its present owner, on one block west of Tubbs' Hotel, on Twelfth, and Third Avenue. Commencing with small beginnings the enterprise grew apace, so much so that in ten years it was necessary to move to more spacious quarters, consequently exchanging the property for that now occupied by him in Berkeley near Dwight's Station, he there established a fine nursery where a specialty is made of the cultivation of California evergreens, and Australian forest- trees, although every kind of tree is sold. Mr. Bailey estimates that he has disposed of fifty thousand forest-trees since removing.

TEMESCAL .- It was in the vicinity of Temescal that Vicinte Peralta made his

808

home, and here he lived a life of ease and plenty. With the settlement of Oakland, its suburbs attracted attention, and to-day Temescal is, to all intents and purposes, a portion of that city, though just without the incorporated limits. It possesses some fine brick buildings, and in its neighborhood are many of the handsomest country seats in the district. Here is the famous fruit-canning establishment of J. Lusk & Co.

ST. LAWRENCE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL .- This is a Roman Catholic school intended principally for the Catholic girls of the parish, and in it, along with various other branches of learning, the pupils are instructed also in the Christian doctrine accord- ing to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The school is taught by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and superintended by the rector of the parish. Pupils of other denominations are also received, but are not obliged to recite Catholic prayers, nor learn Catholic doctrine, unless they choose to do so, and with the express consent of their parents. The various branches of a common Eng- lish education, as also plain sewing, are taught free of charge; instrumental music and foreign languages are extra.
