From the Sunday Leader.]
The RECORD UNION has passed another
mile stone. It's age is five and forty, and
it is as bright, cheerful and clipper as it
was in the first year of it's existence,
which dates back to the admission of
California into the Union. 1t is not only
native son, but pioneer as well, whose
papers have chronicled the events, which
is the history of this commonwealth,
from the days of Sutter and Marshall TO
the present. The bound volumes OF the
old Union and the REC0RD-UNIoN taken
together form complete and volumin-
GUS history of the Golden West, the most
comprehensive and reliable extant.
We are pleased to note that our neigh
Dor, like wine, improves with age. and
its management is to be congratulated on
the fact that they maintain the reputation
of the past, and have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have the confidence
and goodwill OF the reading public. The
RECORD UNION is the best morning paper
on the Pacific Coast, outside of the
metropolis, is equal so the latter in ability,
and has shown it's wisdom in refusing to
adopt the blanket style of journalism.

''To the Honorable B0aYd Of Trustees
Of Sacramento City - GENTLEMEN: The
undersigned respectfully represent that
they affixed their signatures to petition
granting the Sacramento, Fair oaks and
Orange Vale Railroad Company the right
to use the proposed N-street electric rail-
road line as a fruit, vegetable and general
freight line. We did this under a misap-
prehension and without giving the mat
ter sufficient thought. We were led to
suppose the freight line would only be 8

veiop into road OF considerable magni-

MAKING OF THE OLD EARTH.

Prof. BarbOur's Second Lecture In
University Extension Course.
The only regrettable feature about the lec-
ture in the university extension course,
given by Prof. Edwin H. Barbour OF the
University of Nebraska at the Young Mems
Christian association building last night was
the small attendance. The lecture was in
language from which every technical and
scientific term, incomprehensible to the pop
ular mind, had been excluded. 1t was illus
trated by copious stereopticon views, which
rounded out what the lecturer said.
Prof. Barbour delivered the second lec-
ture in the course on geology, continuing
the history Of the world where he left off at
the conclusion of his lecture week ago.
The subject was "The Development of the
World Under the Influence of Later Forces"
The effect of wind and storm, and particu-
larly of water in it's various forms, upon
the crust of the earth was described.
The lecturer stated at the outset that the
inequalities on the surface Of the earth had
not been occasioned by internal upheavals, as
is popularity supposed, but that they could
be called wrinkles on it's iace These ele-
vations were at first rounded and smooth,
but rain made the curves sharper. AS tor
rents, cascades and waterfalls were gradu-
ally formed they united in carving out the
mountains, canyons and valleys. Buttes,
natural bridges, gorges and other formations
Of rock were monuments of the force of
water either in its liquid form or as ice.
In the same way water had cut out the
caverns and caves and lined them with
stalactites and stalagmites.
Earthquakes, geysers and volcanoes were
defined and their causes and effects detailed.
The principal features of these phenomena
were described and illustrated
