Burton Holmes in the Yosemite Valley

Burton Holmes offers this coming week
the first lecture IN his series on all Ameri-
can subjects. This lecture is entitled "The
Yosemite Valley. Natures Scenic Master
piece" This is the first time that Mr..
Holmes has ever lectured upon this mag
nificent subject, the present travel talk
be ing the direct result of his recent visit
to this delightful spot during the early
weeks of last summer. He was accompa-
MED by Mr.. Oscar b. Depue, who for many
years has been Mr.. Holmes lantern ope-
rator and motion picture expert. Together
they cleaned a rich harvest of Photographic
reproductions of the beauties of the valley
and OF the region containing the mammoth
trees for which southern California has
bee cme so justly famed, The lantern slides
f1om his negatives have been beautifully
colored. and the motion pictures taken by
Mr.. Depue reproduce the water falls, the
arrival and departure of stages, and a
most interesting series of pictures show
ing the first Fourth of July celebration
ever held in the Yosemite. These pictures
show parades and races participated in by
the guides, cowboys, campers and tourists,
and these with one especially spirited pic
ture of a number of four-in-hand stages
dashing through the tunnel in the giant
WaWona tree, are an excellent substitute
for a personal visit to the valley. THE
Yosemite Valley" will be given at the
Columbia Theater next Tuesday afternoon
at Ais o'clock.

puted ballots. The votes to which OBJ
lection has been made are those on

The original count gave McConochie

count.

pied with the count of the second pre-
cinct of the Second ward, in which a

cred. McConochie's vote on the re-
turns was 100 and the recount gave
him 1O1. The returns gave McCaskrin
149 and the recount 14S.
