Wish TO Combine
Want TO Join With San Fran
cisco Owners in a Big
Touring Event
BY r. r. I'E1or11r11edieu

There is a feeling among Los Angeles
automobilists that they would like to
have a joint run with the enthusiasts
or San Francisco. Frederick Pabst of
the southern city was in town Saturday
and in discussing the question said
that the Los Angeles motor car own
ers would like to join the owners of
san francisco in a run. Two seasons
ago the dealers of San Francisco pro-
posed run to Pizmo beach to meet the
Los Angeles men and the enthusiasts
OF the south made great preparations
for the event only to learn at the last
moment that the San Francisco dealers
had given up the idea. However, this
has been explained and they once again
would like to hold a combined run.

and mining man Of this city, left recently fof

HOUSING VISITORS
PROVES DIFFICULT
So Far, in Addition to the Big
Hotels, Quarters Are Found
for Forty Thousand

How to provide accommodations for
the thousands of visitors who will flock
to the city from every town and city
within 100 miles, from points in Ne
vada, Arizona and Oregon, and even
from Utah. Washington, Idaho and
British Columbia. is a problem that the
fleet committee is now endeavoring to
solve.
For several weeks the California pro-
motion bureau. which has taken this
matter IN hand, has been listing every
available room and place of lodging
Berkeley and the places Immediately
about the bay. The committee esti-
mates conservatively that 10000
strangers will be here during the first
two days of the celebration, but so
far 1t has been able to guarantee quar-
ters for only 40, 900. Though many of
those from places near by will return
home at night, it is expected that at
least $4,000 will be left to provide for
in the way of rooms.
So far II, 200 rooms in private homes,
200 hotels in the burned district and so
apartment houses have been registered
at the headquarters of the committee
in the California building. In addition
to this 1t has promises of 1000 single
cots. This doesn't include any of the
big hotels. the ST. Francis and the
Fairmont. but it is expected that they
will be crowded to their capacity be-
fore the fleet arrives. Quarters there
have been reserved for the governor,
visiting officials and special guests of
the fleet committee.
The complete list of all these rooms
will be kept at the committees head
quarters, where an information bureau
will be maintained. People from out
side towns can secure reservations by
mail If they write beforehand to the
committee.
AT the close of the Spanish war, when
people thronged to San Francisco to
greet the returning soldiers, there was
just such another straining of room
ing accommodations as threatens now
It has been suggested as one solu-
ton of the problem that big tents be
erected and fitted out with cots as tenn
porary hotels during the stay of the
fleet.

Unitarian
The Risen Life

Are you looking backward over the
centuries at an ancient tomb for the
Risen Life? The words have a stronger
and more strengthening significance
than that. The risen life that should
mean most to you is your own life,
risen each morning from its tomb of
ignorance and sin and prejudice into
the larger life of the child of God.
What avails it If the Nazarene should
have risen from the dead twenty CEN
turies ago If you, today. are held cap
tive In the soul sepulchre of sin and
se1flshness? l say unto you. Arise
from the dead" into the risen life of
love and service!
