On August 81 last the British bark In
vercauld sailed for Astoria to load wheat
for Europe. When eight days out an ap-
prentice boy named Henderson fell over
board. Captain jackson at once hove the
bark to and lowered boat. For four
hours the men rowed backward and for
ward, but the only trace of the boy they
could find was his cap. The search was
then abandoned, the boat hoisted aboard
and the Invercauld stood on her way.
Two hours later the San Francisco

BANKERS VISIT
OLD TAMALP A|S
They Spend the Day in
Recreation.
LUNCHEON AT THE PEAK
DELEGATES FROM OUT OF TOWN
ARE GUESTS.
Into Rhyme, but His Friends
Promptly Subdue Him.
Informal Talk.

AS fitting climax to their two days
discussion of matters financial the dele
gates to the Bankers convention paid
visit yesterday to Mount Tamalpais. More
than two hundred of the men who spend
their working hours in handling money
together with their wives and ladies,
made up the party which started from
this city at an early hour.
The schedule had been arranged so that
the inn was reached a little before noon,
and a tempting and substantial lunch
con was served in the dancing parlor
shortly after the special train had fin
tshed its journey up the tortuous path
from Mil Valley. Informal speechmak-
ing was then INDUCED in, Lowell White

ing in the capacity of postmaster.
A. II. Z. Schmidt of the German Saw

surprise when called upon for a few re-
marks, but he nevertheless evolved very
wituly worded toast to the ladies. This
was honored standing. Mr.. Schmidt de-
clared that he would cheerfully yield all
his claims to the position of postmaster
70 Mr.. White, except when it came to
the fair sex; and having thus asserted
his gaIiantry and placed himself on rec eel
ord as modern Sir Galahad Mr.. Schmidt
suggested that Southern California
should be heard from.
N. j. Daniels of Riverside responded by
expressing the thanks of the out-of-town
delegates for the many courtesies ex-
tended them. He felicitated his hearers
on the successful work of the convention
which had just concluded its labors, and
expressed the hope that by next year it's
results might be apparent
Frank Miller of the National Bank of
,. O. Mills q Co. of Sacramento referred
TO the fact that the LADY cashier had
not yet invaded the realms of banking.
She would be welcome, he said for the
reason that her inexhaustible fund of
patience could never be checked out.
Then he disclosed lambert genius. whose
tncipient germs may yet rob the bankers
fold and add to the crop OF poets, by
suddenly eXclaiming:

But at this point Mr.. Miller was
promptly suppressed, and ]. E. Crooks of
Haywards made a few trenchant and
literal remarks touching upon the high
standing of many of the country bank
ers. He felt that but few would ever
again be so high up as on the present
occasion.
Lowell White and J. NJ. Elliott both
made happy and brief speeches, and the
next few hours were devoted to viewing
the beauties of the scenic panorama from
the peak of old Tamalpais. The party re-
turned to the city about O'Clock and
everybody voiced his full appreciation of
the outing.

Proposed State Road.

Senator Taylor, of Garfield county,
has in preparation for the coming ses-
sion bill for an appropriation for a
state road across Tennessee pass down
the Eagle to Glenwood, then to Grand
Junction and through the Meeker coun-
try. In other words, the senator reasons
that such road would, in fact, be a
boulevard across the state and the
means of opening up the vast resources
of Northwestern Colorado. He esti-
mates that it wonld cost 100000, which
amount could be taken from the internal
improvement fund. There are many
substantial reasons why the proposed
measure is a good one.
First of all, it must be taken into con-
sideration that this vast territory in
Northwestern Colorado, in area nearly
as large as the entire state of Indiana,
gives promise of becoming one OF the
most productive In the state as soon u

during the past two years. THIS is
merely an assumption on the part OF the

characteristic of that Individual. Those

that deer have decreased faster under
Swans administration than under that

partment. He has done more than all

it is developed. A few will contend
that railroads should precede wagon
roads and let development follow. This
argument might have held good in the
early days of the state before we had so
many railroad advantages, but in the
condition the state Is in now she must
first produce something for the roads to
transport out of a certain territory be-
fore they will venture in.
This being true, it logically follows
that Il wagon road would bring the
settlers. the settlers would develop the
country and raise the products and the
railroads would then come begging for
their share of the transportation.
The present is the proper time to ac-
comp'ish something for the development
lof Northwestern Colorado. Tue papers
and the people there are asking for as
sistance to connect them with the rest
OF the state and with the world. 1t
would be impossible to estimate Whit
Development may DO for that territory.
although there is every reason to believe
that it is fully as prolific as gold, sill
yer, agricultural or horticultural pro-
duCer as any of the older sections.
Senator Taylor's bill deserves serious
thought for it represents the new spirit
in the state. 1t will provide path
for tho home seeker to follow, and settle
him in the great undeveloped territory

The S,nOOthest Train in the
United States.

On Sunday. November 20, the Bur
lington Route made IL radical change in
the schedule of the Chicago Special, its
finest and fastest Denver Chicago train.
Heretofore. this train has lett Denver
in the morning-immediate after the
arrival of ID. 4 X. q. und Colorado Mid
land trains from the West. 1t now
leaves at lao p. M, arriving at Omaha
| in time for breakfast next morning. and
at Chicago ut SIS p. m. the same day.
In other words, it runs 1.0l6 miles in
twenty-nine and one-half hours-a
average rate of speed of about thirty-six
miles an hour. There are not half Il
dozen long-distancs trains In the United
States which are scheduled faster than
thirty-six miles an honr. And there is
ao$.one--not single one-which has AS
good record as the Chicago Special for
being "on time all the time"
The equipment of the Chicago Special
consists of one sleeping one dining, one
library, and two chair cars. The cars
are of the newest design. aud have been
in service less than six months. All of
them have the new wide vestibule. and
are lighted with Pintsch gas.
The sleeper is upholstered in peacock
blue, and contains twelve sections and 81
drawing-room. The toilet rooms are
unusually roomy-a circumstance to
which much of the trains popularity is
due.
In each of the two reclning-chair ears
are seats for ifty-six persons, ladies'
and gentlemen's toilet,rOoms with soap,
marble wash-basins, comb, brush.
towels, and an abundance Of water, both
Hot and cold. and a smoking-room, up
hOlsterpd in leather.
Of the eleven dining-cars operated bv
the Burlington Route. none is finer than
that on the Chicago Special. 1t is as
bright az a new pin. The linen is spot
lessly clean. the service is prompt. and
on every table is a gorgeous bouquet of
American Beauty roses, one of which
the waiter aiIixes to your coat when you
have finished your meal. Best of all.
the a-ia-carte plan prevails-you pay
only for what you order.
| The library Car is the mems favorite re-
treat. 1t is a veritable clubhouse on
wheels, place where comfort reigns
supreme. and where the necessity for
exertine oneself is reduced to mini
mum. If you want anything-tOday' s
paper, the monthly magazines, a cigar,
a bottle of apollinaris, or a pillow-press
button and the smiling attendant
brings it to YOU.
The Denver Republican calls the
Chicago Special the "smoothest train i'll
the United States" The phrase des-
scribes it to nicely. 1t is a smooth
train-inside and out. Its furnishings
are In admirable taste. and the track
over which it glides is perfection itself.
Fortunate is the traveller who goes east
on it. Kings fare no better, when they
travel, than he.
