( Jack Tarss an interesting fellow
He's particularly interesting to
women. who feel sort of pity for
him-for such of him as knows no
home, no hallowed spot that his
thoughts may hark back to, when the
smoke curls up from his pipe in the
focastle.
So they've made a home for him
here in our big city of homes, at SS
Steuart street, and called it the Sea-
mans Institute. Here Jacks made
welcome when his ship rides in from
the sea. Here he may cast anchor and
be safe from the storm and stress of
the coast the lure of the tarrying
mariner. Here at the home are COM
forts, entertainment and companion
ship. Sometimes these hold him
sometimes the tide of temptation runs
too strong.
Now, it takes dollars TO maintain a
home And if 1t costs a hundred to
run home for two, what do you sup
pose it costs to run a home for 200?
The institute must have money for
its current expenses.
+ Jack must be looked after, and
money must be on hand to do it.

smart set folk will appear on Monday

a Rio Grande Extension
JEFFREY FOR PRESIDENT
To Succeed Bartnett, Who Is
to Be Made a Vice Presi-
dent and Chief Counsel

At last the promoters of the West
ern Pacific Railway Company have
abandoned the secrecy that has
marked their operations since the new
transcontinental road was conceived
and have formally announced that the
Goulds are behind the project. Yes
terday J. Dalzell Brown, treasurer Of
the company, stated that he had been
authorized by President Bartnett, who
is still in New York, to make public
the fact that the Goulds are behind
the road and that 1t will be used as
Western system of the Denver and Rio
Grande and share the Gould line ter
minal at Salt Lake.
After much deliberation the West
ern Pacific has decided to enter Cali
fornia by way of Beckwith Pass,
which will afford the road grade of
/ per cent over the Sierras eastward
bound and eight-tenths of per cent
westward bound. Another announce
ment made yesterday was to the ef-
feet that the arrangements for the
financing of the road have been
completed in the East. where the
banking firms of Blair & Co., William
Solomon & Co. and William Reid &
Co. have agreed to act as the syndi-
cate managers.
AS stated several days ago in The
Call, work on the western end of the
new line will be started within few
weeks, Immediately after the con-
tractors, Flick & Johns, have COM
pleted an inspection of the route be-
tween this city and Salt Lake City.
Point Richmond, by reason of its con-
venience, will be the base for supplies.
In few days the local directors of
the new road viii leave for New York,
where the company is to hold a meet
ing. 1t is reported on good authority
that z. t. Jeffrey of the Denver and
Rio Grande road, who was recently
elected vice president of the Western
Pacific, will be chosen to succeed Bart
nett as president and that the board
of directors will be reorganized to per-
Rit the financial factors in the big
enterprise to be properly represented.
Bartnett is scheduled for the position
of vice president and general counsel,
making his headquarters in this city,
as does Chief Counsel Herrin of the
Southern Pacific lines.
