MORALITY FOR WALL STREET
President Of Cornell Predicts Good for
 Financial Center.

ITHACA. N. Y. Dec. s.-That the time is coming when truth. honor and morality will be just as much a part of Wall street as of the country vil- iage. was the prediction made by President Jacob G. Schurman of Cor nell University in address to the stu dents yesterday. In his speech Presi- dent Schurman spoke against the tar if, which he said should be further regulated by the government. He also made the startling statement that he believed the law would in time fix prices of commodities controlled by monopolies and in all cases where competition was stified. In speaking of socialism he said that it's fatal defect is that it puts upon the shoulders of the government what the government Is incapable of doing.

any schools Of the county have
no libraries. and several schools that
have libraries would be better off with
out them. The value of good library
ought to appeal to the intelligence of
every patron Of the schools. The boys
and girls are being taught to read and
to think. What they think depends
largely Oh what they read. How inn
portant it is then that good supply of
the very best food for thought be fur
nished to them. The child that has been
taught to read and to think, then left
without guidance in the selection Of ma
teriAl for thought, has been deprived of
most important part OF his education.
This is all age Of books. There are
books everywhere, Of every character,
good and Dad. TO train child to read
and think, and then to place him IN the
midst of this almost infinite variety of lit
erature, without the fortifcation OF an in
telligent knowledge of what is good, is
to invite destruction upon the work that
has been accomplished by the education
given him.
Give child power to read aud train
ing in thinking. thoughts in varying pro-
fusion are certain to follow. These
thoughts may not DE healthy thoughts,
nor the habits Of thinking good habits
they are more liable to be the opposite,
unless care is taken. The only, way to
Danish unhealthy and unclean thoughts
from the mind is to replace them with
thoughts that are pure and clean. 1t is
here that a weil-selected school library
shows its value. 1t furnishes food ior
clean, healthy thoughts at the time when
the enlarging powers ofthe child mind
begin to reach out for material for
thought. II furnishes the inducement
for the formation Of good habits ot think

formed. Ss. 3siS X.

AGREES TO BUILD
TO OWENS VALLEY
SOUTHERN PACIFIC SAID TO
FAVOR PROJECT
Los Angeles City Engineers Will Study
Molave Desert Route Aso--The
Santa Fes Belen Cutoff
Nearing Completion

The Southern Pacific, according to
san Francisco advices, has consented
to build a railroad eighty miles long
northward from Mojave across the
desert of that name into the owens
river valley.
This is in furtherance of the plans of
Los Angeles to expend $2O,OOO,OOO in
getting water supply from the owens
river country.
The road will cost, It is estimated,
in the neighborhood of S2,500,0OO.
To give the three expert engineers
who are to pass upon the feasibility of
the owens river water project basis
on which to work, a party of engineers
in the citys employ will leave for Mo-
jave Thursday to make a survey for q
railroad across the Mojave desert to
Red Rock canyon, a distance of about
eighty miles.
While the road may never be built,
an estimate will be made of the cost,
so that every item of expense may be
included in the report of the hydraulic
experts retained by the municipality.

IMMENSE SYNDICATE FORMING
Will Take Over Much of Union Paci-
fic's Stock Holding
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Plans for the
formation of a syndicate to take over
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific stock held by the Union Pacific,
which were proposed several months
ago, again have been taken under con-
sideration. In circles usually well in
formed concerning Union Pacific af
fairs it is said the formation of such a
syndicate is in contemplation, although
details have not been fully deter
mined.
The Union Pacific at the date of it's
last annual report held $1S665,259 par
value of Great Northern preferred
stock, $24,295, ,152 of Northern Pacific
Northern Securities company which
since has been exchanged for a proper
tional share of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific.
These holdings represented only part
of the stock of these two roads, which
was acquired by the Union Pacific in
the course of the dissolution of the
Northern Securities company
A large amount was sold prior to the
date of the last annual report, and it
is understood Union Pacific holdings
of these stocks have been further re-
duced since then.
At the present prices for Northern
Pacific and Great Northern it would
take more than $5400O,0OO to purchase
the Great Northern stock held by the
Union Pacific at the date of the last
annual report and more than $51 900. 900
to acquire its Northern Pacific hold
ings. Any syndicate formed to pur-
chase these stocks would therefore
need more than $100,000,000.
1t was reported in the financial dis
trict today that the Northern Pacific

from his home at Calistoga, Napa

securing the Prohibition nomination for

said, treated his advances somewhat
coldly, but Browne was not disheart-

He brought with him campaign liter

communication from the Peoples party
state committee, signed by Chairman
d. p Rice Of Sonoma county and Sec
retary A. ]. Jones of Fresno, in which
the organization propose to the Pro-
hibitionists that if they will indorse
Browne for governor and Miss Kate
Ames for superintendent of public in
struction, and permit the Peoples party
to name the judicial candidates, the
Populists, on their part, will indorse
whatever other candidates the Pro-

Santa Fe's Eleven Million Dollar Pro-

y Associated Press.

AsSUCIHIVU TtssS5.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-J. w.
Kendrick. second vice president in
charge of operation for the Santa Fe
railroad, says the Santa Fe's new over
land route, between Chicago and San
Francisco and Los Angeles, will be
opened for traffic In November.
The new route is being made by
means of the Belen cutoff, where
work being done will cost $11,000000.
While the cutoff saves only eleven
miles of distance it cuts out the Ration
and Glorietta grades on the present
route east of Albuquerque.
1t is expected that the new grade line
will enable a saving of at least one day
in the time Of fast freight trains, be-
cause at present it is necessary to
break up freight trains into sections.
A saving of several hours in passenger
train time will also be effected.
