the early days did not all of them come
here for gold only, but that many of them
were conscious they were building great
commonwealth, and had determined to
lay its foundations broadly upon the best
and highest education.
The record achieved by the university
has been a notable one in many ways, and
the Methodist church may well be proud
of having founded it, supported it and con-
Quoted it. 1t has a large body OF alumni,
and many among them have attained high
eminence in the State. These men and
women having now achieved something OF
power, influence and fortune, are IN posi-
ton to join in the work of assisting ana
promoting the aims of their alma water.
1t ought to be their pride as well as their
privilege to do so, and 1t cannot be ques-
toned that not few of them will so re-
gard it. The university therefore may
reasonably look to the future for the tul-
fillment of great things, and, as it occu-
pies field quite distinct from that culti-
waited by any other university in the State,
its progress will be marked with sincere
qualification by every Californian.

oAKLAND's GREAT DAY.

We are assured that the entertainment
to be given at the Oakland Trotting Park
to-day for the benefit of the Fabiola Hos
pital will be a spectacle of uncommon
beauty and magnitude. In view of the
character and purpose of the fete nothing
could be more graceful than very gener-
Gus attendance of San Franciscans. The
present indications are that the weather
will be superb
Although this splendid fete is to be given
for the benefit of local charity, and
therefore has not for its purpose the
broader scope of the splendid floral festi-
walls which have been given by Los An
geles, Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa, it will
serve the larger purpose while accomplish
ing the smaller. The Fabiola Hospital is
a most worthy charity. 1t has done con-
spicuous good in its way, and deserves all
the assistance to be given it. In thus pro.
viding for its necessities by the giving of a
grand outdoor entertainment the people of
Oakland are showing the very best of
those good qualities which can be employed
in advancing the material interests of their
city. Out of the success which this under
taking will score we shall expect Oakland
to draw inspiration ana courage 10 assall
those broader tasks, in the accomplishment
of which her future greatness rests.
Meanwhile let US all make the most of
the splendid opportunity for enjoyment
which the present occasion presents. The
fashionable of the Burlingame Club will
parade in all their graceful panoply of
clothes and drags; lithe-legged young men
will run races on bicycles as though their
lives depended on winning; the horse
show will be spectacle in itself, and fair
est of all will be the parade of the flowers
which all good Oaklanders know so we'll
how to grow. The gentle breezes which
sweep in through the Golden Gate will
never refresh Drawer or happier gather
ing than this, nor the sunshine fall upon
warmer hearts; and the golden seeds of
charity which will be sown will fall upon
a grateful and fructifying soil.

A PANHANDLE CHURCH.
The Howard Presbyterian Building to
Be Moved Out Near the Park.


Be Moved Out Near the Park.
There is a good prospect of a Presbyterian
church being erected near the panhandle
of Golden GatePark before very long. The
matter has been under discussion for some
time. 1t seems that years ago the officers
of Hamilton-square Church purchased a
building lot near Hamilton square, but
they never built a church thereon. In
time the lot was sold for $500. The Wood
bridge Presbyterian Church, which dis
banded after paying all its debts, had
about $4,000 left. The two sums of money
were thrown together by the presbytery
and lot purchased near the panhandle
Since then various suggestions have been
made as to the use to which the land could
be put, and many were in favor of erecting
a building there for mission purposes.
The Howard Presbyterian Church on Mis-
sion street, near Third, after several ups
and downs, called Rev. f. r. Farraud to
it's pulpit. That gentleman in spirit of
enterprise, suggested that the Howard
Church be moved out upon the panhandle
lot and the project has met with universal
favor by the members of the congregation.
At recent meeting of the board of di-
rectors the moving of the old church was
Endorsed. 1t is believed that in the near
future steps will be taken to carry out the

ADVANCING AMADOR.

The Amador Record was recently en-
larged to an eight-page form, and in max
ing the change the public-spirited editors
used the occasion to exalt the community
they live in rather than themselves. Con-
corning the enlargement of the paper moth
ing was said except the brief paragraph
"The Record is now an eight-page quarto. "
Concerning the town of Suffer Greek, how
ever, and the county generally much was
said and abundant evidence given of the
advantages the locality offers to settlers
and investors.
From the statements made in the various
articles of the paper it appears that Suffer
Creek and Amador are making improve
ments of all kinds ana expecting them
from nearly all directions. We find scat
tered over the first page paragraphs like
these: ut is all forward" Nothing is
going backward" New people are NOV.
ing in" There are no vacant dwellings
in town and new ones are going up"
"Some big mining schemes are on the tapis
in this county" ga new railroad is head
ing toward Amador City from the lone
branch and number of new mining ope-
rations are being evolved" 'The mining
interests around Jackson are in the most
fiourishing condition. Several big mining
operations are in full blast and others are
being started up.' plymouth has picked
up amazingly in the past year and num-
Der of new mining enterprises have been
inaugurated." ''Oleta is on the verge of q
full-f1edged mining BOOM" "There is a
great deal of prospecting in the vicinity of
Volcano with pnoOrra yinp results ~ ITha
parties who are developing the quartz ledge
on the Oneta ranch are pushing ahead
with VIM"
From the examples given, Judge the rest.
The whole page glows with short, luminous
articles on local industries and local in
terests. Every section of the county is
mentioned. All the big mines are noted
specially. We are told what is doing at
the Wildman, the Mahoney, the South
Eureka, the Max imillian and what is ex-
pected at other mines. Nor are other in
dustries overlooked. In short, the county
as whole is pictured in these statements
of facts concerning what its people are
doing, and the picture is animated with
the life of real things. Such paper is
worth something. 1t is universally in
teresting because it is locally true. We
congratulate the Calkins brothers, editors,
on their success with the enlargement OF
their paper: we congratulate them on
living in community, where, as they say,
Everybody takes a hand in advancing
some improvement and, finally, we con-
graduate Suffer Creek and Amador on
having such a Record, for it is one to be

FORWARDING OUR FRUITS.

In the CALL of yesterday appeared COM
pact and highly instructive statement of
the conditions which will affect the over
land shipment of this years fruit crop in
California. 1t discloses number of pecu-
liar facts. One is that while the Southern
Pacific Company has arranged to furnish
700 ventilator cars for this seasons use and
will try to secure a five-day time between
Sacramento and Chicago, the Santa Fe
road has gone far beyond that move by
constructing car which may be used
either as ventilator or refrigerator, and
whose other great advantage is that it
saves so much to the shipper in the weight
of boxes. 1t is evident that every pound
saved on the weight of packages is one
pound more of fruit, and hence saving in
the cost of transportation. This often may
represent the shippers margin of profit.
To be more particular, by the use of the
Santa Fe car the shipper can send 1928

COURAGE THAT WINS.

Four men of Napa - Under Sheriff
Brownlee, Attorney Bell, P. n. True and
John Williams-went hurriedly out last
Thursday to intercept two hard and dan
gerous highwaymen who had robbed the
Calistoga and Clear Lake stage, and who,
they had learned, were passengers on the
stage from Monticello to Napa. These
four have SO distinguished themselves for
their courageous conduct that they stand
forth in this State and at this time as men
whom good citizens delight to honor. 1t
is true that they intended to reach
safe spot where they might leave
their own carriage on the roadside
and ambush the rutfians; but it is true
also that having failed in this, and having
met the highwaymen on the road and dis
covered that the more dangerous of the
two was sitting beside the stage-driver and
held shotgun in his hands, they opened
the desperate battle for life or death, in the
name of the law, and came out of bloody
fight wounded, but victorious.
There have been many fierce battles in
California between highwaymen and Off
GERS of the law, but we cannot remem Der
one to surpass this in brilliancy of daring.
Vasquez was filled with buckshot while
leaping from window; Sontag was
captured when the daylight following the
fearful battle of the early night had made
descent upon his shattered body rea-
sonably safe; and Evans was taken in
bed, whittier he had crawled to groan
over his wounds. But these four stalwart
men of Napa-only one of whom was
bound as an officer to seek the desperadoes
took chances vastly greater than any
which these celebrated cases disclose.
They fought to the death in the open ;
took aim and fred as though their own
bodies were not covered, disregarding the
fact that at the next moment they might
be lying stark in the road; and finally
landed two of the most desperate of high
waymen in prison-one shot through the
vitals and the other already regarding the
world through a moose.
Under Sheriff Brownlee and John Will
liams have some honorable lead in various
parts of their bodies, but no harm will
come from that. The stage-driver, John
Gardner, an honest man, has in his own
person some bullets meant for the high
waymen. That was unfortunate, but nee
essary; and surely the good people of Napa
will know how to salve his injuries as well
as how to show appreciation for the heroic
courage of its four brave men.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC.

The announcement made at the meeting
of the board of trustees OF the University
of the Pacific on Thursday, of the excellent
condition of the allied colleges at San Jose
and at Napa and of the university gener-
ally, will give no little satisfaction to all
who are interested in higher education !;
for the university holds unique place in
our educational system and performs a
special work whose value can hardly be
overrated.
The financial condition of both colleges
was reported to be good, considering the
money stringency which has prevailed
everywhere, and the close of the fiscal year
will show but small deficit in the funds.
Of the $4,000 necessary to liquidate the
debts of the university $40 600 has been
raised and $4,000 additional has been con-
tributed to an endowment fund to assist
deserving students pursuing the classical
course. Prospects are good, moreover, for
further contributions in the near future,
and the sanguine belief is expressed that
before long fully SIS, coo will be subscribed
to the different funds of the institution.
These reports are certainly full of encour-
agement, and while the sums named are not

OF some other universities, they will suffice
for the day and maintain the institution
against the coming of greater things.
The University of the Pacific does not
rank in wealth and extent with those of
Berkeley and Stanford, but none the less
it holds an important place in the educa-
tional system of the State and is bound to
increase in usefulness as the State de-
Velops and population increases. As the
Oldest university on the Pacific Coast, it
stands as the pioneer of learning, and at
tests that those who settled California in

more pounds of fruit than in Southern
Pacific ventilator car. Besides that the
Santa Fe boxes cost only $43 20 car,
against $50 for boxes in a Southern racine
car. 1t is easy for the shipper to calculate
how much he could save if the Southern
Pacific would offer advantages equal to
those given by the Santa Fe.
The Southern Pacific has taken the
trouble to explain that the lumber interest
OF California, as represented in the KIND OF
boxes which must be used in its cars, gives
employment to large number OF persons
and IS an important concern. we are
as fully aware of this fact as OF two others,
namely, that the Southern Pacific has an
interest in some of the mills which pro-
duce fruit boxes, and that the local freight
receipts by the Southern Pacific on boxes
shipped from the place of manufacture 10
the packing centers must be considerable
Item In the company's receipts. ana
while the Southern Pacific may be pursuing
praiseworthy course, by which 1t secures
double advantage in encouraging the
lumber industry of the State, the TACT re-
mains that the production OF fruit and
wine and their profitable marketing out
side the State are the main sources upon
which the prosperity and development OF
the State must depend.
The contract between the Southern Pa-
cific and the Santa Fe is based on the
proposition that competition in overland
transportation would be hurtful to the in
terests of those two companies. Hence 1t
is that the Santa Fe is not permitted to
send its improved cars into the region
north of Goshen, or if it does they must be
sent East over the Central Pacific. This is
very comfortable arrangement for these
two companies, but meanwhile the Differ
ehces between the local policies OF the two
companies may be taken to explain much
of the prosperity of Southern California
and the stagnation of the business north
OF Tehachapi. 1t is true that the superior
enterprise of the people in the southern
region has been an important factor In this
result, but it is equally true and notorious
that the efforts of the Santa Fe in develop
ing the southern region have been lmmeas-
urably superior to those of the Southern
Pacific in this part of the State.
The salient lesson to be learned from
these complications is that monopoly OF
transportation is an evil so long as it pre-
vents the profitable shipment of California
fruits to the Eastern market. The South
ern Pacific has done handsome thing for
our fruit-growers in making arrangements
which will reduce the necessity for en-
ploying refrigerator cars, but it has not
done sufficient to show that it can be safely
trusted with the enormous responsibility
of deciding by its tariffs and other regula-
lions the whole question of California's
