BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 23.-Two
peaks of the Sierras in the Kings River
District almost as high as stately Shasta
have recently been named in honor of
two University professors. They have
been called by the Sierra Club Mount
Hilgard and Mount Senger, the first in
honor of Professor e. w. Hilgard, head
of the Department of Agriculture, and
the second in honor of Professor Henry
Senger, assistant professor of German.
Mount Hilgard stands II 900 feet above
the sea level, while Mount Senger pierces
the air to the distance of 1900 feet. The
former lies in north latitude 81 degrees
20 minutes and east longitude 11S degrees
40 minutes, while the latter is located q
few miles below it in the same range, in
north latitude 81 degrees 10 minutes and
in east longitude 118 degrees 81 minutes.
Both are north of Mount Goddard and
remain snow-capped through all the ssa-
sons. The district In which these two
peaks are situated is wild and rugged, and
only the most venturesome of travellers
approach them. They are reached most
advantageously by Bear Creek, one of the
large tributaries of the San Joaquin River
in Inyo County. A number of university
students visited the district in which these
mountains are located, last vacation, and
report that the two mountains are types of
grandeur and magnifcence.
Three other tall peaks in California and
one in Nevada already bear the names of
Berkeley professors. In Tuolumne County
is Mount LIE Conte, in the Shasta region
Mount Bradley, in the Yosemite district
Mount Huffman, and in Washoe County,
New, the celebrated Mount Davidson.
Opposed to Vaccination.
BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 23.-Several
members OF the Board of Education are
inclined to protest against the recent edict
sent forth by Health Officer Rowell. in
compliance with the State law, ordering
ley schools be inoculated forthwith.
The members of the School Board who
demur against the contamination of the
Health Officers instructions do SO on the
grounds that they fear the remedy will
be as bad as the disease for the preven-
ton of which it is given. They say that
it is as dangerous as the tuberculosis cure
itself and is in reality not a necessity in
Berkeley. where the dread disease OF
smallpox is so unlikely to establish itself.
Directors Norton of the Fifth Ward and
Englebretsen of the Seventh Ward are
the two most outspoken of the seven
board memb bers.
AT tQelT next 1u6ebluS t46 udbLeI Will
be brought up for discussion, and final
action will be taken as to whether or not
they will obey the State law which re-
quires vaccination among school children.
Meanwhile, the Health Officer is vaccin at
ing wherever necessary.
Won by the Negro.
BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 23.-The region
of University avenue, West Berkeley, was
scene of wild excitement this afternoon
over a 75-yard footrace between Joseph
Segui colored member of the West
Berkeley Athletic Club. and Archie Bee
man of Lorin. Segui defeated Beeman in
eight seconds by about yard and half.
A $50 wager was up and an old score was
to be paid off, both of which facts added
interest to the contest. About half of the
West Berkeley population was on the
scene at the crack OF the pistol and cheered
the contestants. Beeman says he will
meet Segui again.
