SANTA FE ROAD.
Said 1t Will be Running to San

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.-President
E. P Ripley of the Santa Fe Railway
Company was in this city to-day, and
in an interview states that the Santa
Fe road will surely be in San Francisco
on or before January 1st next. Presi-
dent Ripley will leave here tomorrow
for the purpose of making a thorough
inspection of the recently acquired VAL
ley road.
The Santa Fe Pacific has expended
So, 600, 900 on improvements between
Albuquerque and Mojave in the last
three years, he says, and will continue
to make improvements. The headquar-
ters of the road will not be moved to
San Francisco but will remain in Los
Angeles. The passenger traffic has been
so heavy during the past year that, be-
ginning this fall, two transcontinental
trains will be run instead of one. The
Santa Fe limited will not be run
through to San Francisco. but will stop
at Los Angeles. No consolidation of
the several lines. under the Act passed
at the last Legislature, will take place
until after the road reaches San Fran
cisco, though all the California lines
will be put under the one manage
ment.
No arrangements regarding train SER
vice between Los Angeles and San
Francisco have yet been made.

HOP PICKERS STRIKE.
Want 81 Per Hundred Pounds for
Gathering the Crop.

WHEATLAND, Aug. ia hop
pickers' strike is on at Horst Brothers
ranch. This morning 800 white men
and body of japanese. struck for 81
per 100 pounds. a raise of 1O cents.
They We're refused. and the whites pro-
ceeded to organize a strike in all the
yards. They marched in a body to
Wheatland and sent committee OF
their number to induce the pickers IN
the different yards to join them.
Picking had begun in only the j. II.
burst and Jasper & Sons yard, and
special effort was made to get pickers
in these yards to go out, but to no pur-
pose. Late this evening a company of
strikers, seventy-five strong, marched
into the burst yard. They were not
able to induce a single man to quit.
Tonight a strikers camp is pitched
west of town. The hop men along the
river do not fear any trouble, as their
crews are made UP principally of fami-
lies and old pickers who are satisfied
with the rates to be paid.
The town people are nervous over
the outlook and special police are on
duty Picking will begin in several
other yards tomorrow. The hop crop
is excellent, but late in ripening. The
picking will give employment to 5000
people The price the farmers agree to
pay this season is 80 cents per 100
pounds for the first week. 80 cents the
second week and 81 for the balance of
the season.

"AII's for the Best"

If every day was Sunday, and all of life
was love.
And neither in the earth below nor in the
A cloud was ever gathered to eclipse the
light of hope,
And the lilies of the valley and the roses
of the slope
Were ever blooming sweetly, and the
land was ever filled
With the tend'rest notes of Nature that
the SongSter ever tr1lled,
If tear of sorrow never came to dim the
laughing eye;
Then pleasures would grow palling to the
senses, by and by.
If the sun could shine forever, and the
day was always fair,
And Natures e'er laughing miss, with
flowers in her hair;
II life was naught but pleasure, unknown
to gloom and PAIN,
And there were no storms OF trial and no
sorrow floods of rain;
If there were no fruits forbidden, no joys
to be denied,
If the heart was never tempted and the
soul was never tried;
If there were no thorny pathways. like
the bravest feet have trod,
The heart would grow Indifferent and
wander off from COD.
It requires a night of darkness, just to
make the day complete,
And behind each wall of trouble waits a
benediction sweet;
Then remember, as you struggle up the
hill, though steep 1t be,
That beyond its Alpine ruggedness lies
Each scar received in fighting for the
cause of truth and right
Shall be a badge of honor on the breast OF
Honors Knight.
The world may have its burdens, and it's
griefs and tears untold,
But if there was no cross OF sorrow there
could be no crown OF gold.

UNKNOWN FOR CENTURIES.
of Stone Sun Dial Bear
ing the Washington Arms.

No family in the county of spires
and squires,' or perhaps, in the whole
Of England has had more laborious re-
search devoted to it's history than the
Washington ancestors Of the first Pres
ldent of the great American republic.
1t is not our object to retrace the path
so patiently followed by II. f. Waters,
the result of whose many years labor
has been given to the world in the New
England Historical and Genealogical
Register for October, 1889. Suffice it
to say (for the benefit of those who are
not already acquainted with the gen.
ealogy of General Washington that Mr..
Waters has proved beyond doubt that
the Virginia emigrants John and Law
renee washington, were descended
from the Sulgrave ara Brington family
of that name.
The discovery of a hitherto unknown
dated shield Of the Washington stars
and stripes" is of interest, not only to
our American cousins but to all lovers
of heraldic antiquities.
In the hamlet of Little Brington,
Northamptonshire, we'll known to
many an American pilgrim, stands a
small, unpretending house, built of the
picturesque local sandstone This
house is known as the "Washingtons'
house." the refuge afforded to Wash
ington and Sulgrave after the fall of
their fortunes by their kinsmap, Sir
Robert Spencer, Baron Spencer of
Wormleighton Within a stones throw
of this house, in the pleasant garden of
Mr.. WykeS, there has lately come to
light stone sundial having the Wash
ington arms (argenD two bars, and in
chief three (gules), carved upon it, with
the date 1917.
Mr.. WykeS has known of the exist
ence of this stone for forty years, but
not till about ten years ago did his
curiosity prompt him to examine it,
when he found it to be a sundial. Not
being greatly interested in heraldry, he
thought little of his chance discovery,
and only within the last few weeks was
the writer's attention drawn to it by
A. L. Y. Morley of Great Brington. 1t
is a round slab of sandstone, 16H
inches in diameter and 3 inches thick,
chamfered on the lower edge. 1t is of
a pinkish clor. The lines, figures and
shields are incised about a sixteenth Of
an inch deep The holes where the gno-
mon was fixed are to be noticed. The
center and sinister mullets of the shield
are now almost worn away, but when
first found they were quite distinct.
Under the shield is letter r. and part
of what we may conclude was once

shield there seems to be indications of
a crescent (the mark of cadency of

r. w. makes it probable the dial was
made for Robert Washington, second son
of Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave.
He died in 1922 and was buried in
Brington Church, where an inscription
and shield of his arms in brass are now
to be seen. His nephew, the Rev. Law

ground that the island is Government

compel the County Supervisors, by a
