progress. Judge Simonds, who came here
a few weeks ago authorized to make con-
tracts on behalf of Eastern railroads, has
not met with any real encouragement and
has now taken up his headquarters In San
Francisco.
Judge Simonds' plan was to induce local
capitalists to subscribe a small amount OF
money, then issue bonds. which Eastern
builders will take up and build the road.
Simonds was very particular In stating
thathe was not capitalist himself, but
merely promoter
M. ]. Keller, president of the Board OF
Trade, who has had more dealings with
sanguine that the road will be built through
the efforts of the Chicago man.
Practically nothing has been done so
far" said Mr. Keller to-day although
the contracts held by Mr.. Simonds are
from reliable firms. They merely agree
that certain things will be done if certain
amount of stock is subscribed"
The bankers of Oakland have been in
vestigating Mr.. Simonds of Chicago and
his proposition to build road from Oak
land to Stockton, and they have decided
not to indorse the scheme. A bank official
said to-day:
The proposition to build road from here TO
Stockton on the terms proposed by Mr..
Simonds is not a good business venture. In
the first place, we cannot understand the
motive that prompts Eastern capitalists to
build us a road, when we all know that the
Shyest stocks in the East to-day are Pac1hc
railroad bonds. With the opposition of the
Southern Pacific and its hold of this State,
Eastern investors want nothing to do with us.
If they were looking for investment in rail-
roads they would most certainly take stock in
the Valley road, which is an assured venture,
rather than in concern with no apparent
| backing.
Again, Mr.. Simonds says if the people here
will put up small amount of capital the East
/ ern builders will take up the bonds and build
the road. Now, in this State bonds can only
be issued for the amount of stock paid up:
This would only leave two "small amounts"
and no road can be built under such condi-
| tions. Another objection is that if the Eastern
builders encouraged to come here they will
certainly bring Eastern material with them,
and nobody wants to see that II theresis any
thing in the road for Eastern capitalists there
is more in it for local men.
There is demand for all the railroads we
can get, but this scheme from Chicago does
not quite fill the bill

The Bank of England rightly has the

LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS,
Public Opinion on Bonds Is
Stirred Up and Found
Conflicting.
At the Beauty Contest a COED In a
Sophomore Costume Became
"Oueen of Fame"

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 21.-A canvass
has been made among some of the leading
citizens of the town within the last few
days for the purpose of determining the
public opinion with regard to the PROPOSE
ton now before the Board of Town Trus-
tees and taxpayers to bond the town for
the purpose of erecting and properly equip
ping a suitable High School building, the
sum required being in the neigh borhood
of $4,000.
Various opinions have been expressed in
relation to the matter, all of which point
to the idea that new High School struc-
ture is an absolute necessity, but number
OF those whose opinions have been asked
do not favor the idea OF bonding the town
for any greater amount at the present
time, arguing that 1913 ,000is quite sufficient
for place with no larger tax roll. Others
say that a town of this size is not doing
what it ought in the way of progress unless
bonded for at least $l50,000 or $l75, 900.
An election for the purpose of determining
whether TO issue the bonds asked for by
the Board of School Directors will be held
before great length of time. but from in
dications it would seem that fight over
the matter is imminent.

Yesterday morning Rev. R. R. Big
qer Of the Third Presbyterian Church
preached an excellent sermon to a large
congregation from the text Lord

Among other things he said:

day Jesus was praying in a certain
place. and His disciples took note OF

disciples said unto Him, Lord teach US
to pray. even as John also taught his
disciples.
This was an excellent request-a
praver in itself. 1t was Immediately
answered by the Savior, who produced
that model prayer Of all Christendom-
the Lords Prayer. In three ways the
Great Teacher" has taught us to prayi
First-By his word. The life of Jesus
is replete with prayers. The Lord S
Prayer was among these prayers. The
word of God has many instructions
about prayer. Our words are to be

places. at all times, for all classes and
conditions of men, on all occasions by
His example. He prayed for His enc
mics as we'll as for His friends. When
his murderers were mailing Him to the
cross He said, Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
Third-When Christ was about to

to-day is more praying Christians.
am afraid we do not pray enough. The
desire of every heart should be, Lord,
teach me to pray" But how awful IS
the condition of those persons who
never think of praying. A prayerless
life may seem to be a success while
prosperity lasts, but when the dark
days come it will be a failure. and in
the hour of death it will be worse thaA
a failure. Lord, teach us to pray"

STEEL WORKERS MEET
And Decide to Ask for an Increase OF Ten
per cent in Their Wages.

A meeting of the Wheeling steel work
ers was held yesterday afternoon at the
City Building in Benwood. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to discuss the
question of asking the management OF
these works for an increase Of 10 per
cent. A chairman was appointed, who
stated the object of the meeting, and
after a long and continued discussion
of the question, a committee was ap-
pointed for the purpose of comforting
with the managers at once. The men
seem determined to have this increase,
as they claim it is just as their wages
were. cut several months ago, during
the hard times with the promise that
as soon as business revived they would
get their wages increased and they
now think that as business is on the
increase their wages should be restored
to what they were before the cut.

mon was, indeed, a mastery one and
showed the ability of an educated man
and one well versed in his calling. The
sermon was plain-spoken and easily
understood, and the congregation was
undoubtedly impressed with the learned
gentleman. Any church should be
proud to call such an educated and
fluent man their pastor.
