SANTA FEE IN CALIFORNIA.
Board of Equalization Determines the
Amount to Be Paid in Taxes.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 4.-The as
sessment of the coast lines of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road company has been considered by
the state board of equalization today,
A. p. Maginnis, tax agent for the
Santa Fe, being present.
The company operates S66.79 miles
of track in the state, including the
San Francisco & San Joaquin Valley
road, the Ransburg branch and
others.
A valuation of s2.945.sOO is return
ed on roadway, roadbed and rails. The
gross earnings of the company's coast
lines are returned at $5,775,026.S9 and
the expenses, including cost of operat-
ing, rentals, taxes and miscellaneous
expenditures, $5,345s 209.60.
The board acquires jurisdiction over
two branch lines which it did not have
Jurisdiction over last year.
One of these is the branch from
Golf to Ivanpah, San Bernardino
county, which comes under the op1n-
ion of the attorney general that a
branch road operated wholly in one
county, but a part of system oper-
ating in several counties. should be in
cluded as a part of the general sys-
tenn. This branch has a mileage of
65.44 miles. Another line over which
Jurisdiction is acquired is a branch
line in Alameda county having mile
age of 11.4S. This branch was re-
Gently acquired by the company.
Against THIS gam Is the loss u d III
tie over twelve miles of the California
& Nevada road. This road ran
through the counties named for dis
lance of % miles. but it has been
practically abandoned for several
years and was asseNsed at the nominal
valuation of $4,000. When the Santa
Fe acquired the property it tore up
the track and roadbed except BIZ
miles which it uses in connection
with its Alameda county traffic.
The Southern California railway,
branch now of the Santa Fe system,
operating in Los Angeles, San Bernar-
dino, Riverside, Orange and San Diego
counties was the next up. The road
returns a valuation of 81, 100000 on
615.267 miles of roadbed and rails
The gross earnings are given at $4,-
2S3,3S1 and the expenses 3,4S4, 97O.66.
The road shows a considerable gain
in passenger and freight traffic.

Ever since the last Republican state

suggested as a possibility for Demo-

National Committeeman Campau of
Detroit strongly opposed Stearns' NOM
nation.
Other nominations follow:
Lieutenant governor, Hiram b. Hud-

SUMMARY.

The first period was all Kauai's, six
goals being piled up to Maui's cipher.
Some of these were made with a sud-
denness to take away the spectator S
breath, one being made in fifteen Sec
onds by Spalding, another in forty Sec
onds by Malina and another by the
same player in fifty-four seconds. 1t
was CELEBRITY of action which told, and
the ability to get the mounts under way
after the stroke of the mallet. The
first goal was a pretty start with the
entire eight swinging full tilt after Ar
thur Rice had stroked the ball down
the field for long shot and the first
goal was made with a spectacular fin
ish by AIalina. The third goal, also
made by Malina. was a pretty piece of
work, the ball being driven almost from
the center of the field between the
posts.
In the second period there We're some
very long plays before goals Were made,
but all went to Kauai, Maui being shut
out completely. The reckless Arthur
Rice rode magnificently and used his
mallet well and almost every shot told.
At this time Castle began to show good
form, and in riding off the Rice boys
opened the way up splendidly for Har-
ry Baldwin.
In the third period Maufs first goal
was shortened by safety hit which
gave them only ga. Maui began to
improve and the gait at which the Ka-
uai boys had been riding began to tell
on them. Castle became one of the
most dependable men on the team and
Frank Baldwin held back to his place
No. 4 from which he had ridden out
too often previously, leaving Malina
clear field. Another safety shot cut
Mauis score down again. At the end
of the third period the score was:
Kauai. 10: Maui, . 1-2.
The summary of the game is as fol-
lows:

WEDDING OF S. T.
ALEXANDER'S SON

OAKLAND, Aug. 16.-There was lit
ming of Wallace Alexander and Miss
Barker from any other society wedding
except that it was remarkable for it's
entire lack of ostentation, in spite of
the great wealth and social standing
of the families of both bride and
groom. The simple ceremony of the
Congregational church, with the Rev.
C. r. Brown as officiator, was witness
ed by only thirty guests.
The nuptial setting, however, and all
the wedding accessories were most
elaborate and arranged with artistic
taste and judgment. The Barker fami-
ly residence on Castro street, where the
wedding took place, is in itself artis-
tic and beneath the hands of the dec
orators assumed an added beauty.
Great stalks of broomcorn, bearing
their feathery blooms, outlined the hall
stairway down which the petite bride
and her attendants came, and in the
hall itself a profusion of blossoms
glowed in all the glory of their rich
coloring.
The nupttal VOWS We're exchanged in
fairylike bower of pink asters and
asparagus ferns, built in one end of
the large drawingroom. The entire
room was decorated with the asters
and ferns and formed a marvelously
beautiful environment for the dainty
little dark-haired bride in her costly
bridal robe.
The gown was an exquisite creation
of heavy ivory satin and duchess lace
and cluster of natural orange blos-
