COUNTY ROADS WILL OPEN
ANOTHER REDWOOD FOREST
Construction of rs Miles of Highway
Between VisaIia and Redwood
Canyon viii Make $4,000
Giants Accessible

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Visit-
ors to California will have access to a
third forest of giant redwoods when
the counties of Tulare and Fresno COM
plete the construction of twenty-five
miles of highway between Visalia and
Redwood canyon in the Kings river
country where there Is a grove of over
$4,000 magnificent specimens of the
Sequoia gigantea, many of which are
said to compare in size and beauty
with the trees of the Mariposa and
Calaveras groves. 1t is probable that
the property, which is as yet un-
touched by lumbermen, will be rec
commended to congress for purchase as
q national park. One tree in the red
wood grove recently measured by a
government ranger Is ITO feet in cir
cumference and is estimated to con-
tain 100000 feet of lumber. A claim is
made that fallen giant in the region
Is the largest in the country. Located
at an altitude of less than 5000 feet, the
canyon would be accessible during a
longer period than other groves of the
state. The redwood grove is located
about forty miles northeast of Visalia,
and the county road, which will be
completed in sixty days will extend
from Lemon Cove, where an electric
road has it's terminus.

Citizens of Wilmington will on Sun

Friends "Get Even"
In order to "get even" without any
special injury, the relatives and friends
conceived the idea of decorating" the
pretty five-room cottage purchased by
Mr.. Sunbury for himself and bride.
Mr.. Sunbury had made his home with

FOUNTAIN FUND
NOW COMPLETE
BABY, SHOW BRINGS IN BIG
COLLECTION
Club Was Organized Year and
Half Ago with Five Members
and Now Numbers
Twenty-seven

The coveted water fountain is now
assured as the result Of the indomitable
efforts of the Huntington Park Wo-
mans club. An interesting program
was given at Weber's hall last night,
including a baby show, for the purpose
of raising money to complete the funds
| for securing the fountain About 900
people were present and the following
program was rendered, preceding the
| baby show: Music, by Emmanuel Pres
| byterian orchestra, r. j. Nichols,
| leader; selection, Huntington Park
male quartet; harp solo, Dance of the
Demons" Hazel Schertzinger; Japanese
| song, Miss Hazel Dodson; Johnny
Smoker" Huntington Park quartet.
| Mrs. C. Schertzinger had charge of
| the program. d. N. McCord was the
chairman of the evening.
! After the program 1t was announced
that ballots would be sold for the baby
| prizes. Mrs. ]. A. Bailey had charge of
| the selling of the votes. There was a
sharp contest in voting for seventeen
| babies. There were babies with blue
eyes and with brown eyes, and the
friends of each wee tot fiocked to its
| assistance in voting, each vote adding
to the fund for the water fountain. The
little ones, who were surprisingly well
behaved for so late an hour, simply sat
still and earned a goodly sum.
Little Florence Weber Steele won the
first prize with 1855 votes. H. e. Hunt
ington had given a loving cup for the
first prize, which was presented to the
wee miss.
Anna Wood won second place with
1882 votes. This prize was given by the
Examiner, and was gold-lined cup.
Eveline Balfour won third place with
1867 votes. She received a knife, fork
hxr q,
Baker.
Fourth place was won by Jack M.
Smith with 1903 votes. This prize was
a silver mug presented by the Ham
burgers.
The club was organized about a year
and half ago with Mrs. Alexander
Moncrief as the first president, with
five charter members. There are now
twenty-seven. Upon the resignation of
Mrs. Moncrief, Mrs. G. B. Lilley was
made president. The remaining officers
were elected as follows: Mrs. Allen,
vice president; Mrs. J. H. C. Wilson,
secretary, and Mrs. Mutt. treasurer.
The first entertainment given by the
club netted So, which was set aside as
nucleus for a fountain fund. Sew
era1 other entertainments have been
given, and last nights event netted
$3.50, which will complete the fund of
$3.50 to finish the fountain. 1t will
be of concrete and will be finished
about the first of the year.
Confectionery, ice cream and home
made eatables were sold last night,
which materially assisted in raising the
fund.
There was great enthusiasm mani
tested, and during the evening a man
rose and offered to give his check for
5000, running the risk of getting his
money back from the proceeds. This
offer was refused by the president, and
1t is thought that the club is richer by
$50 as the result.

plished, the lively intruders showed
their ingenuity in arranging" the
rooms to their own satisfaction, al
though there was no furniture to ar
range, as the household commodities
will be delivered today, as per order
of the young couple, and from that their
friends expect their return today.
Among the changes" made in the
cottage was the removal of the cook
stove from the kitchen to the parlor
and the filling of the lamps with water
there being no gas or electricity in
the house, and a liberal distribution of
cards bearing notices.
The rooms were then all securely
locked and all the keys, with the ex-
ception of the one In the possession of
the groom, were hidden, and to COM
plete the whole affair the windows
were all securely fastened.
On the front of the cottage there was

For Sale, Pies the Kind Mother
Made; WANTED, Good Cook;

Democratic Club Next
Thursday

Preparations are complete for the de-

Republican, and Charles F. Johnson,
Democrat, to be held Thursday, Sep
tember "a, before the Old Hickory
Democratic club at Woods hall in
Highland Park.
Both Messrs. Johnson and Domin-
guez have met before on the forum.
Mr.. Dominguez has the reputation
of being one of the most eloquent de-
baters on politics in Southern Cali
fornia. He was at one time secretary
to Judge Taft in the Philippines. He
has stumped the state in two cam
paigns.
Mr. Johnson is also one of the ablest
debaters in the southern end of the
state, well read on politics and one of
the moving spirits of the Old Hickory
ties.
Friends of both speakers expect

V Shoes"
The foregoing are among the many
unique placards posted in almost every
conceivable shape on the front of the
pretty little cottage at 1856 East Fortieth
street, announcing to all who pass that
therein is to dwell a newly married
couple. Many pranks have been played
on the newly married, but the perpe-
traitors of this particular joke think
that they have beaten the ~records-and
so it would seem.
This display of the sign painter and
other arts is the result of the marriage
of o. e. Sunbury to Miss Pearl Palmer,
which happy event occurred Wednes-
day night at the Haven Methodist
church.
Previous to the marriage their friends
had threatened to tie the young couple
to the telephone pole, and to avoid such
disaster the pair did not choose to
let the whereabouts of their snort
honeymoon be known.

the guests were still gathered, the bride

Have Effect In Reducing Normal
Democratic Majorities
In State

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Mary,
land political situation was considered
today at Republican national heau-
quarters, practically all OF the state
leaders having come here to consult
with National Chairman HitchcSock,

MARYLAND Is about the only debatable
state In their territory.
All Of the members of the Maryland
delegation said that the frlendl1ness OF
the business men of their state for
Taft and his popularity with the
masses makes it probable that the
Democratic normal maJorltles or thal
state will he overcome MIR. Hitchcock
also talked with leaders from Con-
necticut, who declared the state will be
safe for Mr.. Taft in spite of the fact
that there has been some bitterness IN
tha RApubIican party over the nomlna-
tion of Representative Lilley for the
governorship. Postmaster General
Meyer visited Republican headquarters
today and discussed with Mr. Hitcn-
cock arguments to be made in reply TO
Mr. Rrvan on the subject of govern

it's.

of Ohio was today appointed chairman
of the Republican finance committee
for the state of Ohio. -,
1t Is expected now that Mr. Taft VIII

are now working out the itinerary for
Mr.. Taft's eastern trip.
Mr.. Hitchcock expects to confer with
Governor Hughes and to arrange a
western trip for the New York execu-
tive. If possible the national commit
tee would like to have Mr.. Hughes In
the west for about ten days. II this
can be arranged he will be given a
special train and a number of other
prominent speakers will accompany
him. He is in demand particularly in
