A very excellent, condensed presentation
Of modern history is to be found in Pro-
fessor Myers The Modern Age. The pro-
lessor properly does not, as some authors
do, place the beginning Of the modern age
at the date Of the discovery Of the west

that the rew age discovered the new
world. The crusader of the eleventh CEN

for discovery and adventure, and. certain

vival Of Greek and Latin learning and art

the papacy commonly called the Protes-

The author interestingly discusses the
reformation and its results, and the re-
1narkable aseendancy OF Spain, the Eng
fish reformation under the Tudors. the
Huguenot wars in France. the thirty
years war and the era Of political revo-
luton from 164S to the present. In the
concluding portion the author intelligent
ly discusses the new age and Industrial
Democracy" stating the situation and
outlook clearly. The book contains many
new and valuable, maps and bibliogra-
ply.

subject OF how best to induce northern
people to come south is being eagerly
discussed. The southern railroads
are making vigorous efforts to per-
suade northern farmers to settle along
their lines. Already this work is
having valuable results and it
Is certain that the surplus
population Of the north will
tend more and more to move
south. now that western oppor-
tunities are so largely pre-empted.
While the population Of the whole of
the United States per square mile is
twenty-one. that Of the southern states
Is only nine. The difference in density
OF population shows how much room
the rural south has for growth.
1t will be interesting to watch the
struggle between the south and vest
ern Canada for the northern home
seekers. This year the south has
boldly invaded Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the northwest generally-the very
region from which Canada is getting
most Of her Americans. Each region
has its advantages, but If Canadian
policy should become anti-American,
the south will surely win.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 2-The
Sheriff's office here has a. prisoner who
is believed to be a desperate criminal,
wanted in Placer County for stage rob-
berry and a three-term conUct, although
less than 40 years old He was found Iy-
ing across the railroad track at Barstow,
unconscious from a terrible blow on top
of the head and evidently had been placed
there to be cut to pieces by the west
bound overland train. In his pocket was
found a skillfully made mask and the card
Of IN. J. Reilley'' of the Silverton, Colo,
Walters Union. The man was found on
the track several hours after the theft of
a Wells-Fargo treasure box and 1t is be-
lieved by officers that he participated in
that robbery and was later struck on the
head by his partner in the crime and left
for the train to finish hin-

task of destroying the larger bridges of

situation in the vilayet.

The committee and City Councilmen
started out to-day on a tour of investi-
cation. Competent engineers accompa-
MED the party with instruments for MAX
ing measurements Of the supply in the
creek.
Lagunitas Creek was the only place
visited to-day, but since the water cor
porations have found out that the Sausa-
litans mean business they too are anx-
ious that their works be Investigated.
VISIT LAGUNITAS CREEK.
A special train over the North Shore
Railroad started out from Sausalito at
s:45 o'clock this morning en- route to
Lagunitas. The following gentlemen
were among those who made the trip:
Mayor Thomas, Trustees II. c. Crumpton,
D. I. Hughes and E. H. Shoemaker,
Messrs. w. z. Tiffany, w. ]. Martin, j.
NJ. Kilgarif, c.. Feutsch ]. P. Pryor, E.

Charles Forrest, Judge Belrude, c. H.
Becker, John Ferguson, ]. Nunes, F. j.
Hood, F. Garrissere, F. j. Robin, j. F.
McGovern, c. E. PARCEL and r. P. Greer.
The trip was made in forty-five min
utes. The party alighted and visited the
creek. Measurements were taken, after
which Mayor Thomas made known the
object of the visit as we'll as the result OF
the Investigations.
I'VE must do something" said Mayor
Thomas, lin order that our citizens may
be supplied with water and so that our
homes will be protected in case of fire.
The present company is all right, but it
cannot supply us with enough water. At
the present time we are only getting
about 100000 gallons per day. We need
250,000 gallons and soon will need 400, ,OOC
gallons. The idea is to pipe this water
down to Sausalito. q distance of about
twenty miles. when the North Shore Com
pany finishes its tunnel through White S
hill. The railroad people say the pipe car
be run through that way. If this plan
proves to be a feasible one, 1t will afford
us a great relief. Gentlemen, the engi-
neers say that at the present time nearly
a million gallons of water flow down this
creek in the twenty-four hours. This is
a dry month. In other months 1t will be
a much larger amount.
Other short speeches were made by
Messrs. Eilgarif, Tiffany, Martin and
Hughes and the party returned home.
Other sites will be visited and proposi-
tions considered later.

CITIZENS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

Mayer Thomas made personal investi-
cations and solicited aid and advice from
the citizens The citizens became inter
ested and upon .ascertafning the true con-
dftion of affairs became enthusiastic. AS
a result a committee was appointed with
W. J. Martin as chairman TO formulate
plans for a better water supply. This
committee, in conjunction with Mayor
Thomas and the City Trustees, has for
mulated these plans of relief: To invite
the Marin County Water Company, which
controls the water supply of San Rafael
San Quentin and surrounding country, to
run pipe line TO Sausalito, or to ask
the Min Valley Land and Water Com
pany;. controlling the supply of Mill VAL
ley and the adjacent country to extend its
pipe TO the coast town, or to build their
own water works by bonding the city of
Sausalito, or by securing some new cor
poratlon to furnish a supply from Lagun-
itas. Creek. The North Shore Railroad
Company in fact, is contemplating just
this very thing and piping water to the
coast.
