This morning Captain John Cross will
number of the members of the chamber
of commerce, as his guests to celebrate
the opening Of his new road to Nordhoff
in the Ojai valley. The people of Ventura
have formed themselves into committees
to assist the captain in making the day
memorable success, and have provided all
that is needed for the comfort of the inner
and the outer man.
The party will leave here on the Southern
Pacific train which leaves the Arcade de-
pot at s o'clock this morning, and will re-
turn on the Santa Barbara train which ar

be taken by the passengers. The trip will
be made through the beautiful Ojai valley
which presents some of the most impress
sive scenery to be found in this state.
Captain Cross has been at work on this
project for long time and has carried it
through in the face of obstacles which
would have caused any other man to have
relinquished the project long ago. But in
spite of hard times and scarce money, and
all the hundred and one difficulties to be
overcome. the captain never wavered, and
as result success has crowned his efforts,

will be of vast benefit to this city as we'll
and will afford new field for merchants
and dealers of the metropolis of Southern

According to the San Francisco Chron-
icle there seems to have been some playing
at cross purposes in the law and freight
departments of the Santa Fe Pacific in the
matter of a complaint to the state railway
commissioners from the San Francisco
brewerles regarding the rate on beer to The
Needles The rate to that point from Mil
waukee was only 81 per hundred, for dis
tance of 20S9 miles. while from San Fran
cisco, distance of but 622 miles, it was the
sum of SLIP.
In its report of the meeting the Chron-
icle says that a reply had been received
from Mr.. Stubs of the Southern Pacific,
saying that rate of cents had been
agreed upon with the Santa Fe, to which
the matter had been referred and that it
would be in force at once. At the same
time a letter was received by the board
from c. n. Sterry, the solicitor for the
Santa Fe Pacific, stating that his road
declined to recognize the authority of the
board, as it received its right to charge
rates that it pleased under direct authority
of the federal government, and therefore
declined TO answer the complaint The let
ter is of some considerable interest, as it
would indicate, despite the counter action
of the freight department that the policy
of the line will be to ignore the states au-
thority in matters of rates. and is that far
in advance of the view heretofore taken by
the Southern Pacific company. 1t reads
as follows:

there are defects as we'll as merits in

however, though not applied by the
teacher, whose value cannot be
questioned. 1t is the examination to
which each individual subjects him
self. Every true student turns his
gaze inward occasionally and looks
at himself, so to speak. Hece is the

which tells every individual whether
he is advancing or not A grade
