Moving to Have Government Reserve

The California Promotion Commit

as the "Pinnacles'' in San Benito

Government at national park. R..
+. Lathrop, representing the Califor-
nia Central Coast Counties Improve
ment Association, Is interested in the
movement. He has had large num-
Der of photographs taken to send to
Washington. The "Pinnacles" cover
an area of something like six square
miles.
They consist of massive rocks with
huge spires jutting up hundreds of
feet. These rocks in comparison with
their great height are narrow and are
in reality gigantic pillars of stone.
The "Pinnacles'' are gorgeously col
ored, red and blue, and have often
been called the Garden of the Gods" :"
The unique features of the Pin
naeles' are Palisade Rock, which is
1900 feet high. divided into terraces,
Knife Blade Rock and Indian Face.
The region is filled with caves, bal
ena generally. Subterranean passages
with mushroom forms and huge
underground pools of water are feat
ures of the Pinnacles.
The report of President Jordan,
Professor Dudley and Professor Kel-
logg of Stanford University, now on
file in Washington, recommending that
the Pfnnacles be made a national park
will be vigorously indorsed by COM
mercial organizations of California.
Congressman j. c.. Needham will
introduce a bill before Congress at
this session setting aside these Pin
nacles as national park. The Bu-
reau of Forestry has sent a special
agent, who has made a careful exam
iHation of the Pinnacles, and his report
is now on file in Washington.

Herald. Copyright. 1904. by the New York
Herald Publishing Company.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-Continuing his
avowal of the faith whereby all things
are possible with God to-day as they
were in the past. even to the healing
OF the sick and the raising of the
dead, Father Ignatius to-day proceed
ed to recount to a representative Of
the Daily Express various occasions
upon which he has performed what
he calls miracles. One notable occa-
sion was in the year 1862, when he
and fellow worker named Redman
were awakened one night by wom-
an, who earnestly besought Father Ig-
natius to come out and save her
daughter, who was dying of typhoid.
Suddenly" said Father Ignatius, Il
felt the command of our Lord upon me
and l rose up. All said to my friend
was, Do bring your relic with you.'
He had a wonderful, beautiful relic,
piece of wood of the true cross.
When We reached the house the girl
was dead She had been dead two
hours and her body was already COM
posed for burial. Upon an involuntary
impulse, however, which l felt to be
inspired, l took the relic of the cross
from my friend and laid it upon the
dead girls breast. Then / cried, In
the name of Jesus Christ, I say unto
thee, arise.
Slowly and stifhy the corpse arose
in the bed and Redman, turning to me,
cried, What have you done?'
L have done nothing / replied,
but the Lord hath done great things,
indeed" +"
After this Father Ignatius harked
back to the first time when the word
of the Lord came upon him. This was
at Plymouth, where a mother declined
to allow her children to be baptized.
Father Ignatius told her the curse OF
God would fall upon her and within
an hour the curse fell. Suddenly, with
out warning, the woman's fourteen
year-old daughter was stricken with
idiocy and her whole body broke out
from head to foot with most loathsome
sores But Father Ignatius cured her
at the Lords command.
At another time, he says, he
sprinkled water on man crushed be-
meath a falling stone and the man
walked to his home.

CAN ESTABLISH HOSPITAL.

A communication from the attorney
of the board was received stating that
the desire of the faculty of the College
of Medicine of the university to re-
ceive q fund for the establishment of
a hospital within the grounds of the
Affiliated Col eges was entirely within
the law and that the board might ad-
minister such fund. AS donations for
such a purpose have been offered 1t is
probable that within the near future
a hospital will be established that will
enable the students of the college to
secure practical experience under the
direction of the physicians that COM
pose the faculty of the college.
In accordance with the recommenda-
tion of President Wheeler the resigna-
tion was accepted of DIR. Martin II.
Fischer as assistant professor of physi-
ology, and DR.. John Bruce MacCallum
was appointed assistant professor of
physiology in his place.
r. r. Mansell. who has had much ex-
perience as a landscape gardener in
England, was appointed gardener of
the college of agriculture at salary of

of one of the university cottages.
