quired. in keeping the roads level and
smooth.
Last season in this valley a large rancber
hauled from one town to another. distance
OF seven miles, loads averaging twelve tons
daily for three weeks; the wagon tires were
two-inch tires only. and at the end OF the
time force of men had to be put on to
place the roads in good condition. Had the
tires been each six inches. which would
have been in fair proportion to the loads.
the roads would have been in better condi-
ton in the end.
There is fine and inexhaustible gravel
bed in the creek hence the small expense in
putting the roads here in good repair.
The Supervisors have been inspecting
the road this week In the interests OF the
new electric line, deciding where the tracks
shall be placed. The county roads are gen.
orally of good width, but in many cases 1t
is matter Of great importance to property
owners upon which side Of the road the
track is placed.
The bridge over the Alameda Creek at
Niles Is only wide enough to allow two
trains to pass, and there is no footpath for
pedestrians. When the electric cars run
over the bridge footpath will be really q
matter of necessity. Work will be COM
menced on the line in the next few weeks.
The ornamental trees planted last spring
along the railways In town, under the direc-
ton Of our popular postmaster, w. L.
Dickey, are 10 furnishing condition, aud
in another two years will have changed the
face of the town for the better, decidedly.
At the Meeting of the High School Trus-
tees the other day it was decided to call for
bonds for $500 for building and $1,000 for
running expenses for the next two years.
The matter will be pushed, and before an
other year we may hope to see a substantial
high school built. MRS. L. Il. THANE.

every continuance of beauty and elegance
They are so elaborate that splendid nan
sions built ten years ago without regard to
expense seem old fashioned and ont of datein
comparison. Outside they are rather grace
full than imposing. Though they rarely ex-
eeed three stories in height and seldom cover
over twenty-five feet in frontage, they sell
for S20,CC0 TO SOS, eco, so much money has
been spent un plate-glass and decorations in
the interior. Others, with larger front and
more spacious rooms, command $4,000 to
$50, 0C0 When house hunters complain OF
these prices they are told that correspond
ing houses would rent in New York for
$500 to 5000 year.
The palatial homes which were erected In
the days Of the boom for the archi-million-
aires OF those days long ago passed out OF the
list OF inhabitabe possibilities. They are
grand, but they are no more fitted for human
habtation than the Mills building. One of
them, the Hopkins mansion. will probably
fulfill its destiny as a museum OF art. For
the others similar uses will probably be
found. What an admirable library building
the Flood mansion would make! In the
meantime the cultured visitor who drives
over Mob Hill passes them by with smile.
The essence of architecture Is fitness.
The plan of the grandest building in the
woTd-St. Peters al Rome-may have been
drawn with the purpose of striking awe and
inspiring alteration in the mind of the
deyout 1t befitted the center of the Chris
tian world. Had the edifice been intended
fer any other use it would have been ridlc-
ulous. So the Capitol at Washington is an
appropriate home for the sovereignty Of the
greatest nation of modern times. So the
modest but impregnable Hibernia Bank in
this city is fifty housed in an unobtrusiye
one-story building OF massive granite,
which looks as if it would defy the storms
of fortune and last into remote ages. We
may feel quite sure that the building which
will command the approval of THE
CALLS jury will not only be admirable in
proportions and planned according to the
lines of beauty, but will also be just suited
for the object FOR which it was built

WILL SHUT up THE SACK.

Mr.. W. W. Fo0te said in his Saturday
night speech that the bosses of Fourth and
Townsend streets told the Republican
bosses that if they denounced the To-
EQUITIES which are being perpetrated not
only upon the merchant but upon the pro-
duceT, the railroad company would shut
up the sack" Probably Mr.. Foote did not
suppose that he was telling any news.
The failure of the two Republican State
conventions to say word upon the burn
ing topic OF the day was at the time at
tributed to the desire of the managers to
handle railroad coin. This fact viii not
hurt the Republican national ticket, but
will render the elections of Republican
Legislature somewhat difficult. The masses
of the Republican party are no more
faVOrably inclined to the Southern Pacific
Company than are the masses of the Demo-
cratic party. But at Stockton, and later at
Sacramento, the Republican bosses sold the
masses out The railroad sack is gener-
ally supposed to have been the considera-
ton. Mr.. Foote's speech against the tariff
will not cost the Republican national ticket
a single vote. The people can bring the
Southern Pacific into subsection without
exposing themselves to the evils OF free
trade. But q good many stanch Repub-
licans VIII squirm under the assertion that
two State conventions of their party failed
in their duty to the people from fear that
the railroad sack would be shut il word
was spoken which the railroad company did
not like to hear.

1t is said that an exhibit is to be made in

lea and of country roads in the Old World.
1t cannot but result in good. In the ''happy-
go-lucky" hasty way in which country
roads are usually made, In California par

made for their lasting qualities.

the matter Of keeping them afterward in a

MRS. Co0PER'S BIBLE-CLASS.

People Too Often Go to the Bible to
Bolster Up Pet Opinions
Last week, said Mrs. Cooper In opening
her lesson yesterday. we had Philip dealing
with the SamaritaDs; to-day we have him
dealing with man very high in authority,
next to the throne. Philip was typical
probationary sided, flexible and capable
Of adapting himself to divers temperaments
He had been preaching TO throngs who
listened eagerly. Now he is commanded to
leave ali and go south. He was given no
reason. Like Abraham ''he obeyed and
went out, not knowing whittier he went"
II looked as IL the angel were an intruder
interrupting great ard good work. II
Philip had questioned the wisdom Of the
command it would not have been unresson-
able; but unQuesiioning obedience is an
essential characteristic OF true child OF
God. 1t was when he was on the line of
duty that he met the Ethiopian eunuch,
who was reading the Scriptures and who
asked him, "Understandest thou what thou
readest" He did not understand.
There is all too much OF this sort of
reading, both among children and
adults. 1t is ideas that are needed.
To have ideas is to gather fruit. This great
man was not afraid TO confess his ignor-
ance. The worlds greatest souls are teach
able, and Philip was just as ready to preach
vert one man may be to change the face Of
continent Look at Paul, Booth, Moody
and Wesley. Never despise personal work.
1t is when the teacher individuallzes that
he does his best work. This eunuch was
very teachable. To become teaehable is to
have great relations. There is no INTEL
lectual honesty without the spirit Of teach
ableness. We 700 often 60 to the Bible to
bolster up our pet opinions, and not to get
essential truth. We desire to get proof
that our theology is all right. IL we would
only go with the simple prayer, Spirit
divine, unfold to us the truth that amid the
din and discOrd of earthly voices we may
learn to discern the voice of God" we
should gain marvellous revelations. We
might lose good deal OF our present
possession, but we should gain other
and better treasure. The Bible would then
dwell in US richly as spirit, revelation
and guide. Mrs. Cooper then went on to
show how Philip took great pains TO
answer the doubts of the doubters Not all
are reached through the emotions; some
are obliged to reason out things. This man
was sincere inquirer. He was teachabe;
he was obedient; lie was prepared nearer,
and he met prepared preacher. A pre-
pared nearer is always responsive one A
teacher can do his best work when the
head, heart and will are all in receptive
attitude. The best Endorsement pupil can
give q lesson is to live it. There are no
trifes in truly consecrated life. To sweep
a room, as unto God, makes that and the
action fine. We do not need TO go apart
from our work to get at our religion.

otherwise that may arise therefrom? The
New York Board of Health authorities APP
pear to think they can. Ii they can. very
heavy bill will be made out against the
companies, and it would be nice matter
to allocate to each its share OF the cost. AS
vessels without cholera ON board are de-
tanned because others have cholera, and
they are merely suspected. there is certain
amount of expense connected with such
cases. Hence the apportlonment of ex-
pense is still further complicated. 1t must
be admitted that the cost entailed upon New
YORK by the arrival of cholera vessels is
enormous, and the precautions cannot be
desisted from for months to come. The best
thing all companies Can do is to stop immi-
grafton altogether until the scare is over.
and TO be very careful about saloon pas
sengerS. The situation at quarantine in the
lower bay of New York is very critical.
Large heavy vessels OF deep draught have
hardly room to swing at their anchors, aud
there are many vessels expected. Few of
these steamers could keep the sea much
longer on account of empty bunkers. There
is also danger of Infection being passed to
incoming vessels as they proceed up the
harbor. In addition 1t is clear that articles
of clothing and utensils cannot be allowed
to be thrown overheard, as they reach the
shores Of New Jersey and Long Island The
whole problem Of providing for these emer-
gencies will have 70 be thrashed out.
tween the Pacific coast of the United States
and Japan. The route for message is at
present intolerably long and correspond
ingly expensive. A merchant who has to
pay $50 a word studies a cookbook very
carefully and sends just as few words as
possible From San Francisco or any other
port the mes sage has to be flashed to New
York. thence 10 England or France and
then across Europe and under tropical seas
to China and then to Japan. That Is to
say. the message travels about 10000 miles
when a transit Pacific cable would only be-
1000 or 5000 miles long. The Sandwich
Islands could he included in any direct
cable project, adding materially 10 the
revenue. II surely Is only matter of time
when this will be done.
1t is reported that an English brewing
syndicate is about to spend millions in ere
ating saloons and corner groceries in this
country. where their beer will be sold ex-
ciusively. They have the example Of many
United States breweries for this step. 1t Is
also the custom in England. The Allsopp
Company has suffered badly from not hay-
ing enough of these tied houses.
Those train-robbers In the southern eoun-
try are as cool as any OF their species known
to the suffering public. Wherever they GO
they make themselves at home. They halt
at ranch and eat. drink and sleep well,
and then depart for parts unknown IN
molested. They even show honest traits,
such as returning horse and cart that they
have borrowed compulsorily. AS capture is
improbable, they still have chance to 'get
even with the Southern Pacific" whatever
that may mean in their peculiar line of busi-
ness.
