Shasta Claim May
Change Spirit Of
Miller's Verse.

BERKELEY, Aug. 26.-Friends of
the Sierra who read of the mountain
songster's gay doings at Saratoga and
elsewhere in the swiftly stepping East
find excuse for his gladness and flow
of spirits in the news that gold in pay
ing quantities has been found on his
claim in Shasta County.
Joaquin Miller has always claimed a
soul above the money grubbing crowd
that seeks wealth in the earth. But
when the old poet stumbled on claim
in Shasta several months ago that gave
indications of value the fever that
burned in the gold hunters of '49
seemed to find lodgment in his veins.
Those who were with him when the
find was made say that the poets glee
was that of boy who has suddenly
opened a cache full of trinkets. Miller
forgot his disdain for gold and eagerly
asked the veterans of the camp their
opinion of his find as a possible money
maker.
Joaquin Miller was called East al
most Immediately after gold was dis
covered in his claim. his mission being
to meet Mark Twain and other not
ables at Carthage, Mo. during August
He was to continue eastward, visiting
other cities and permitting the East
to become better acquainted with the
Joaquin Miller poetry. New York pub
fishers were TO meet with Miller and
discuss his book of poems, soon to be
brought out.
Now come reports from Saratoga,
where the smart set copgregates and
Dame Fortune is queen, that Joaquin
Miller is among the gay folk, Of that
place The paragra piers on the spot
find Joaquin Miller good copy" The
wise California friends of the Sierra
poet whisper gold" when these tales
of the poets diversions are mentioned,
and the daring ones even venture to
predict that with the opening Of a rich
lode on Joaquin Miller's claim there
may come a change over the spirit of
the poets dreams that will eventually
inspire new school of Joaquin Miller
poetry.

clothes in room closet and put on
his overalls. In his trousers was $50
in gold. Several painters were work

OAKLAND IN NEED
/. OF NEW SEWERS.
Sanitary Conditions Are
Intolerable, Says Off
cial of Health Board
SYSTEM TOO SMALL

OAKLAND. Aug. 26.-Dr. N. K. Fos-
ter. secretary of the State Board Of
Health, has emphatically indorsed the
plans of the City Council to secure
a new sewer system for Oakland. Am
election to issue S5S4.0O0 bonds for a
new sewer system viii be held Septem-
Der 4, and DR.. Foster came from Sac
ramento TO ascertain what was nec-
essary from sanitary standpoint for
his home city.
There is no question that an inn
provement in the sewer system is nee
essary,' said DIR. Foster. after he had
made his inspection The conditions
along the water front in some places
are intolerable as many OF the sewer
outlets are upon the marsh lands and
the bay shore. This refuse should be
carried TO deep water. The conditions
are really so bad that the State Board
of Health, 1 believe would be war
Fanted in intervening at any time to
restrain the city OF Oakland from COM
.mitting such a nuisance"
Mayor Mott and the entire munich
pal government feel that the bond is
sue is of the greatest Importance to
Oakland. Through no sault of the city
the conditions have reached such
stage that action is necessary TO meet
them on purely sanitary grounds.
The city, according to the experts
who have devised the new sewer sys-
tenn. has outgrown the facilities which
have been found so wanting now.

G0-EDS NUMBERED
At STANFO ORD.
Young Women Students
Are Not Missed on
Books of Registrar
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 26.-
What is your number?" is the ques-
tion of the women students of Stanford
University as they meet upon the
quad. By the latest ruling of the
registrar all women students must have
number The rule was made to pre-
vent the number of co-eds exceeding
the 500 limit. All the contracts have
been numbered as well as the upper
class co-eds. The freshies are limited
to $50. This prevents new students
from crowding out the upper class CO.
eds
The registration for all old students
will begin Tuesday, and for the fresh
les Wednesday. AS the freshie co-eds
appear TO register only those bearing
numbers will be allowed to sign up.
After the general registration delay
Of several days will be allowed for any
old students who have not yet re-
turned. When this time has elapsed
the fIeshies who were unable to get
within the limit will be registered until
the grand total has reached half a
thousand.
This limit was placed by Mrs Stan
ford to prevent the institution from
becoming a girls school Last year
there was some talk of removing the
ban. but from present indications the
limit is here to stay
Men students are without any limit
at all and are admitted upon proper
credentials In the matter of creden-
tials there is distinction between the
male and female students. The girls
are required to have fifteen entrance
units or q full undergraduate standing.
Men are admitted on twelve units to
conditioned standing. The deficiency is
worked off at a later date by extra
work or examinations.
Tomorrow morning the doors of Ro-
bic Hall, the residence of the women
students Of Stanford, will be thrown
oren to the waiting co-eds. The large
building has been subjected to many
alterations and repairs. Encina Hall,
the abode of the male students, has
been open partially for the last week.
Some of the rooms have been occupied
by the freshies and few upper class
men who returned to the campus early.
