WITH LONDON.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. s.
The unique privilege of journeying
around the globe with Jack London in
57-foot sailing vessel on a trip calcu-
lated to take the greater part of seven
years, has been gained by H. R. Stolz,
sophomore of Stanford University.
The lad is a prominent underclass ath-
iete and fraternity man, registering
from Redlands in the economics de-
partment- The young collegian deems
himself fortunate in gaining place in
the crew. Five will sail in the little
vessel, including Jack London and his
wife, Stolz and two deckhands.
Stolz attributes his good standing
with the author to passing acquaint-
ance formed this summer at northern
pleasure resort. They spent consider
able time in tramping and swimming
Stolz is member of the Delta Epsilon
fraternity and has taken a prominent
part in athletics. He played on the
1900 football team in several of the
scrimages, but failed to make the line
up, due to his lack of weight. He took
part in the intercollegiate field meet
with California and won his numerals
in the high jump.
He will give up his college work to
undertake the voyage, but expects to
return before the trip is completed
London will write a complete narrative
of his experience for an Eastern maga-
zine.

SURPRISES MEXICO
BY FAST WORK.
Rapid Building of New Har-
riman Line Revelation to
Slow-Going People There
BRANCH UNDER WAY

MEXICO, CITY, Sept. S.-The rapidity
with which the new Pacific Coast line
which E. H. Hartman and associates
are building in Mexico is being con-
structed astonishes the slow going
Government officials of this country.
The new road is in reality an extern
sion of the Sonora branch of the South
err Pacific, which has been in opera
ton between Benson, Ariz.. and Quay
mas. Mexico. for many years.
1t is authorita lively announced that
the 1900 miles of new road will be
completed and in operation within
eighteen more months. More than 800
miles of the extension are practically
completed The first division of 100
miles is in regular operation, and as
soon as the bridge being constructed
across the Yaqui River is finished the
second section will be opened for
traffic
The survey for the entire line down
the coast and to Guadalajara has been
completed and the maps and profles of
the proposed route were submitted
few days ago to the Secretary of the
IRterior CT the Federal Government for
approval. 1t is stated that the engi-
neers have. spared no expense to get
the best line possible. The maximum
grade after the line leaves the coast
and in crossing the mountains to reach
Qua dalajara is a little more than 2 Y
per cent, according to the profiles sub
mitted to the Interior Department. 1t
is stated that as soon as the Secretary
of the Interior gives the survey his
official approval a large force of men
will be put to work constructing the
line from Guadalajara, and that more
than 5000 laborers will be employed by
the first of the coming year. Other
G, aiding outfits will be placed at work
or central division of the line
In addition to building this extension
of the Sonora road, a branch line is
heing built north from a point near
Torin to a connection with the Yaqui
River and Pacific Railroad, which is

PRESIDENT PRAISES
WORK Of CHURCH.
Talks Before Episcopalians
of Effect of Clean Living
and Religion on Nation

OYSTER BAY, Sept SIN an ad-
dress at the bicentary celebration of
the Christ Episcopal Church here to-
day. President Roosevelt talked of the
necessity of religion and clean living
for the welfare of the nation.
Il cannot understand any American
eitizen," he said, who has the faint
est feeling of patriotism and devotion
to his country failing to appreciate the
absolute essential need of religion in
its broadest sense to the welfare of
this country.
If it were not for the fact that in
our villages and towns as they have
grown up the churches have grown up
in them, and In the churches are men
whose work is not for the things of
the body but for the welfare Of the
soul. it would not be the nation that
it is, because the nation would not be
a fit abode for civilized man."
On the subject of riches the Presi-
dent said: Put riches below the things
OF the soul Give to the body what
the body is entitled to: The multi
millionaire IS not a harm, but good,
to the community if he appreciates that
he is only a trustee for that great
wealth-that he is a trustee for the
cause of goodness

SAN BRUNO POINT
To HAVE PIER.
Contract for Improvement
That Is Backed by
the Guggenheim Interests

REDWOOD S CITY, Sept. S.-The
Healey-Tibbitts Construction Company
made a contract with the Selby Smelt-
ing and Lead Company whereby it
agrees to construct ferry slip and
pier at San Bruno Point. The contract
price is s112,500 and the pier must be
completed within five months.
The enterprise is backed by the Gug-
genheim Brothers of New York, and
the fact that they are heavily inter
ested in the new steel roller mills
which will soon be constructed, as well
as the Selby Smelling and Lead Works,
leads to the belief that this work will
be rushed.
The pier at San Bruno Point will be
under the supervision of Carl s. Fogh,
architect and engineer. 1t will be 1000
feet long and built of the best ma
terial.
There is no landing of any kind at
San Bruno Point at present, and the
depth of water is not sufficient for
even the smaller craft. At the end of
the ,3000-foot pier there will only be a
depth of fifteen feet. and as a greater
depth is required for the deep water
vessels that will unload cargoes there
considerable dredging will be neces-
sary.
The smelter to be established by the
Guggenheims at San Bruno and the
roller mills to be established at South
San Francisco will be only a short dis
tance inshore from the pier and di-
rectly on the cutoff of the Southern
Pacific.

PRESIDENT STICKNEY OPPOSED
TO THE REDUCTION OF RATES
Head of the Chicago Great Western
declares Equalization the Proper
. Remedy.

CHIC AGO, Sept. s.-President Stick
ney of the Chicago Great Western diff
fers radically from other high rail-
road officials on most phases of the
rate question. but he stands with them
in contending that there should be no
general reduction of rates.
Il don't think railroad rates, on the
average, are too high in the United
States" said Stickney. What is needed
is not horizontal reduction, but
equalization. The Pennsylvania charges
about the. same per ton per mile as
the Great Western, although the dem
sity of its traffic is much greater.
Probably our rates are too low, while
the Pennsylvania's are too high. We
are making money at the present rates,
but should the country become less
prosperous there is no certainty that
we could continue to do so. Rates gen
orally in the Northwest are too low
compared with those in the East

Western was the fourteenth. j. w.

Former Prices.

The most dependable piano store on
the coast viii open at 529-535 McAllis-
ter street, near Van Ness. Everybody
welcome to the new store.
On Tuesday morning, September IL,
j. 7. Bowers & Son viii reopen their
piano store at 529-535 McAllister street,
near Van Ness. For thirty-fiye years
this company has been doing a splen-
did piano business in San Francisco.
Many people buy a piano because of
an advertisement which promises much
and gives but little. Not enough atten-
tion is paid TO the reputation Of the
piano dealer. Pompous sensational ad-
vertising has sold many a piano that
could not be sold on its true merit The
dealer in strictly high grade pianos
avoids such methods and depends upon
the quality Of his goods TO build his
reputation
ano 1t drives away duh care, makes
the home cheerful and affords a mu-
.sical education for the children. But
as piano is only purchased once in a
lifetime il stands 10 reason that 1t
should be a good one, piano that re-
tains its value and is always standard.
For thirty-fve years the firm of J.
7. Bowers & Son have catered honestly
for the trade Of piano buyers who
sought piano satisfaction on basis
OF real merit.
The firm are the local agent for the
Iyers e. Pond piano, an instrument well
known to the best homes and musical
conservatories throughout America.
The makers Of this piano have avoided
the nOtoriety which comes from the
purchase Of testimonials from opera
artists and stage celebrities, believing
that such methods are unnecessary
where the piano has sufficient merit to
uphold its own reputation. They point
10 the fact that the New England Con-
servatory Of Boston, the greatest in
stitution Of its kind in the world, now
has in actual use 299 of Ivers & Pond
pianos, every one Of which was pur-
chased IN the usual way and because
these pianos have demonstrated their
ability TO withstand the hard usage OF
thousands Of students.
For those who want a low priced in
strument OF good quality J. 7. Bowers
& Son have a splendid and staple line
ranging in price from $3.50 UP.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase Of a piano would find il to their
advantage 10 visit the new store.
Many people are unable 10 pay the
full amount on the purchase of piano
yet they should have one in their
homes. For the convenience of such
people j. T. Bowers g. Son have adopted
an easy payment method which elm
