ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS.
iishment of permanent amusements, thi' is that city.

A few years ago Oakland built beau uful playhouse. Ten thousand dollars was contributed by the public as bonus to start the enterprise. The Macdonough is justly credited with being one of the best appointed theaters in the country. But it is only on an average of once week throughout the year that it's doors are open, During the past month it has been practically closed all the time. Ihls Is probably the fault of both the theater management and the public. Theater- going is largely habit and 1t is impossl- ble to cultivate a habit sufficient to make 1t profitable by opening a theater once or twice a month. The management com plains that when a good attraction IS presented there is no audience ana the people complain that the theater IS noI open and presenting good attractions all the time. It surely Is not unreasonable to suppose that Oakland and all the sur rounding towns can support at least one good theater but either the hapit must be encouraged to stay here, or the play-goers will patronize San Francesca: There is no other first-class amusement house on this side of the bay, and only one cheap theater, which is also closed. This leaves absolutely no place TOT any body to go who seeks amusement. AS result after becoming tired Of trying 10 find their amusement in Oakland, they are actually driven to San Francesca TOT lack of anything to keep them here.

 Webb of Fresno.

Webb, the temperance orator of Fresno. MT. Webb'is en route to Canada to take part in the Prohibition campaign there. In the course of an interesting address he said temperance work was now being done under Gladstones maXim-that 1t is the duty of government to make it as easy as possible for it's subjects to do right and hard as possible to do wrong. He advocated active political campaign work and the organization of temperance clubs, which he declared accomplish more for the cause than the churches.

A NATURAL WONDER.
The Tramp Red Sandstone Bowider OF
the New Jersey Mountains.


Countless thousands of years ago vas
stretches of glacial deposits came slid
ing across the state Of New Jersey
mounted the Palisades, pushed thei
way across the Hudson river, secured
over Manhattan Island and slid out int
the Atlantic ocean, whittier they disin
tegrated and sank into the deep or per
haps glided on to the other shore.
But in their onward march these
glaciers left indestructible evidence OF
their grinding stride, and today all
along the palisades the trap rocks and
powders are worn smooth where the
| mountains Of ice and sand passed over
them. In some rocks are deep scratches,
all pointing eastward and showing
which way the glacial deposits drifted
There is the evidence, mute, but indis
putable.
To the careful observer there are
numberless other evidences of the pres
ence of glacial influences in the past,
but none is more convincing than the
tramp bowlder that has finally settled
down in the woods in the heart of En-
glewood borough. There it sits, tow
ering mass of rock weighing perhaps
200 tons and resting upon three points
which in themselves find purchase on
a fiat rock that is part of and common
to the character of rock which composes
the palisades But, strangely enough
and to the wonderment of biologists
the tramp bowlder is red sandstone from
the Jersey hills 20 miles inland, and
the pedestal is metamorphite or soft
granite
Around this marvellous monument |
have grown trees that may perhaps be |
a century old, and they have completely
hedged it in, while the rock itself has
stood where it stands today for thou
sal lis of years. On the pedestal or that
p;rT of it which is protected from the
action of the elements can be seen the
deep ridges and scars made across its
fiat surface by the great grinding pres
sure of the body Of ice and sand that
passed over it countless years ago when
New York was ice and snow clad and
the world was a desolate waste in a
state of chaos.
This tramp bowlder has caused geol-
,gists much wonderment and is regard
ID today as one of the finest specimens
