VALLEY ROAD MATERIAL
Transportation of Building Ma
terial to Stockton Con-
Sidered.
Preparations for Constructing the
Railway Now Nearing a
Climax.

The directors committee on construc.
ton and equipment of the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railway met yes
terday at the company's offices, 321 Market
street, and spent some time in the con-
sideration of transportation of materials
from the port of San Francisco to Stockton.
AS rails, ties, spikes, bolts. etc., arrive
here by water. they must be transferred to
barges or river boats and taken up the San
Joaquin to the Valley roads harbor ter
minus at Stockton. And as the time is at
hand for determining the method of this
transpor tation, the question was fully con-
sidered yesterday.
Bids from different transportation COM
panies for moving the railway building
material and one offer from q steamboat
owner were submitted. The committee ar
rived at no definite conclusion, however,
and decided to present the question in tan
gible form to the board of directors to-day.
"Thls matter has to be determined
promptly" said Chief Engineer Story, "as
rails and ties may be in any day now.
They are expected here within two weeks
at the furthest, and by that time we will be
ready to move them just as fast as they are
discharged
The construction Of fiat and box freight
cars has already begun in the yards of
Hammond & Co. in this City, although the
contract was awarded only last Wednes-
day. Immediately the contract was signed
detailed drawings were received by the
builders from the chief engineer and work
began that day.
Engineer Graham's party-the original
corps of surveyors in the field-moved Sat-
urday to point in the plains five miles
south of the Tuolumne River and is now
working toward MERGED. Over thirty
three miles of the road have been surveyed
and practically finished by this party of
surveyors, and the engineers are now
about thirty miles from MERGED.
The Visalia party has finished to point
ten miles north from Visalia, which city
they will reach in two days The re-
mainder of this week will be occupied by it
in surveying through the town of Visalia.
The Hanford party is still working along
the Kings River in search of desirable
crossing for the railway. In all depart
ments OF engineering and construction
commendable activity is shown in the
work of building the Valley railway.

Men who do that sort of job are, as a rule
the most desperate criminals, and would moi
have been satisfied to steal only $50. 1t was
easy for them to carry away $l5 900 or $40
600 worth of silk goods before being dis
covered.
What makes me disbelieve Waterman Ma.

dictory statements. Another thing, he did not
volunteer single statement, but eyervthinp

1t was not impossible for Naele to have
bound and gagged himself. The piece OF
cheesecloth that covered his mouth had only
one knot in 1t. 1t would have been an easy
matter for him to have rubbed his head
against the edge OF the counter and so have
relieved himself of that binding, which would
have enabled him to get rid of the gag in his
mouth and get the use OF his voice to veil for

robbers of that caliber are generally prepared
with their own gags.

1t is pity that the officer neglected to OBJ

might want to do something like this to gain

A. E. Osborne of the Feeble-Minded
Home Accused of Discrim-
nation.

short time ago A. e. Osborne, superin-
tendent OF the California Home for the
Care and Training of Predetermined Chill
dren, issued schedule for bids for goods
and groceries for that institution for the
coming year. While protesting to be IA
vorable to and DESTROYS of the patronizing
OF home industries, he called for many ar
ticles, such as baking powders, candles,
salt, soap, soda, blacking, corn. condensed
milk, etc., and mentioned brands manu-
featured by Easte IN firms. In conclusion
he stated that only the brands called for
would be accepted, and that the substitu-
ton of names of any brand would be null
lifying the bid.
Ihls aroused the officers of the Manu-
facturers' and Producers Association, and
some interesting correspondence followed.
Secretary Mead sent to Superintendent
OSBORNE letter calling attention to the
1act that California institution of this
character supported by California people
should patronize California products. Ac-
companylng the letter was list of the
mem pers OF the association who are able to
FURNISH as good groceries and goods as any

were also sent to all of the members of the
association stating that Mr.. Osbornes at

cludes by saying:

SHAME ON THE PROFESSORS.
Members Of the Conversational
Monday Club Discuss the
Universities.

Rev. M. Willett closed scholarly re-
view OF Balfour's foundations of Belief, "
which he read at the Congregational Mon
day Club yesterday, by saying:
Shall we consider the subject of the great
Engilsh Conservatives view that naturalism
Is basis utterly unfit for morals, public or
prIvate-a subject outworn, insignificant or
remote, when many of the professors at the
Berkeley and Stanford universities take the
opposite ground?
Rev. Mr.. Tubbs said the review of the
work in question so strongly expressed
Balfours views and those of the reviewers
that he wished it might be read by all.
'Ihe professors of Stanford are disgracing
themselves by their teachings" said he.
Professor Moore of the Pacific Seminary
said the distinction is not commonly made
between naturalism and idealism as a
basis of morality. He understood that
there is a controversy in regard to that in
the university in question.
Here Mr.. Willett explained that his ref
erence was to Professor Moses. rather than
Professor Howison. His claim was that
those who hold Spencerian, positivist or
agnostlc views are on essentially the same
platform, SO far a. the relations of natural
ism to morality are concerned.

tory vein OF Balfour as man of action as

Rev. q. L. Brown said he entertained
high opinion of and thinks the work more
especially significant on account of the
personality of the author. He believed
the views advanced symptomatic. Not
long ago the statement had been made by
authority that the vicarious atonement is
explalnable on scientific grounds. The
tendency is coming to be toward the posi-
ton OF Balfour that naturalism is not a
source OF inspiration or ethics.

Judge Wallace yesterday at the request Of
Colonel Andrews. The corporation was origi.

The corporation was formed five years ago,

owner in the business, still the general un-
derstanding was that there were others con-
