the Flint line of sailing ships, the first of
which sailed from Hongkong for Tacoma
yesterday The pioneer vessel of the pur-
chase IS the May Flint, and she will load
wheat on the Sound for Europe and will
then come to San Francisco with a gen

The officers of the new company are:
w. E. Mighell, president and manager;
Charles Bondron, vice president; William
BabcocI, secretary; and the Bank of Cali
fornia treasurer. AS soon as the charters
of the ten vessels expire they will be
brought to this port and will then be OPP

the company gets its vessels on this coast
the better 1t will be pleased, as every one
of them could be chartered at good figures
If they were now in port.
1t has been stated on the front that all
the vessels controlled by Mr.. Mighell will
go into the new company, but this is de-

The story of the romantic courtship is
not unlike others of the kind. Reddan,
who is employed by the California Jockey

Jones street, met the young lady two
years ago and has kept company with
her during that period. She was not 10th

realizing the step she had taken, fled to
her parents for forgiveness. The latter

a year ago by running away from home
and who was afterward found in a lodg-

claims that she does not care for Reddan;
that she never received a present from
him in her life, and that he was race
track tout and welded an influence over
her that compelled her to submit to his
will. She cites her marriage to him as an
instance of the latter charge and asserts
that he used hypnotism in getting her to
agree to a marriage. She also says that

he said, lis organized under the aus
pieces of the Department Of the lnte-
rior. Its work consists Of the investiga-
ton of the physical resources of the
United States. There are four distinct
diVistons-hrst, topography; second, geol-
ogy; third, hydrOgraphV; fourth, rOreS-
try. The topographic map is considered
as the essential basis for the other inves-
legations. In the State.o California per
haps a third OF the entire area has been
surveyed in this manner. There are now
and have been during the past ten years
from three 10 six typographical field par
ties at work in various portions Of the
State. The Sierras have been surveyed
practically from the northern line of the
State south and including the Yosemite
National Park. The Sierra Madre range
has been largely mapped in Southern Cal
ifornia.
The photographic work consists of the
study of the stream flow of typical rivers.
In California fifteen such streams have
been selected, beginning at Red Bluff and
extending to the Mexican line. Upon
these streams numerous measurements Of
discharge are made and daily records Of
river heights observed. From this data
an accurate statement can be made OF the
daily and annual output of these rivers.
This department of the survey has also
explored a portion of the State looking
for reservoir sites for the storage of flood
waters. The director of the geological
survey is empowered by law to set aside
for public use any such reservoir sites
found. Forty-two such sites have been
selected and so segregated. During the
past season the Hetch Hecky reservoir

Women aid The Wheel.
The Danger Of Excessive Riding Becomes Apparent
One Girl Illustrates the Experience Of Many.
From the Gazette. De,a,vore, Ohio.


The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reiormers.
That the wheel has created a revolution
in the lives and manners of modern women
cannot be doubted. Used in moderation it
surely creates for women u means of outdoor
exercise, the benefit of which all physicians
conccde. Used to excess, like any other
pastime, its effect is likely to be dangerous
to q high degree.
No better illustration of this can be offered
than the case of Miss Bertha Reed the
seyenteen-year.old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. r. Reed, 335 Lake Street, Delaware, Ohio.
In describing her daughters experience,
Mrs Reed says: In the fall of 1896 my
