tails of opening the new branch, is very
optimistic regarding the future of San

said:
This city and the Pacific coast have
advanced by such great strides during
the last few years that eastern finan-
cial centers must take cognizance of it,
Witness the sale of your last local bond
issue. The east is also looking ahead
to the completion Of the Panama canal

POPE WILL NOT HOLD
CONSISTORY THIS YEAR
Conference With American Pre-
lates May Influence Choice
of New Cardinal

ROME. Nov. 2S.-The pope has given
up the Idea of holding consistory in
December. This decision Is due partly
to the difficulty OF choosing the new
French cardinals and partly to the
pontinfs desire for the termination Of
the discussion OF the education bill in
England before he creates British
cardinal.
In the meanwhile the pope will profit
by the presence in Rome OF Archbishop
CSIennon of st. Louis and the forthcOm-
ing visit OF Archbishop Ireland to study
the matter of the American episcopacy
with view OF creating another Amerl-
can cardinal.
Bishop Edward of Valleyfield. Can,

Of agriculture, were presented to the

CALIFORNIA WEEKLY
TOCHAMPION RIGHT
New Periodical Makes First
Appearance and the Number
Proves Bright and Clever
Publication Declared to Be on
Side of People in Struggle
for Civic Decency

Announced as a champion of equal
enforcement of law for the rich and
the poor, the California Weekly. a
decided departure from the accepted
thlng in periodical journalism in Calf
fornia, made it's first bow and bid for
popular favor last week.
Ihe California Weekly. with offices
dL ~ montgomery street, IS the result
ol concerted effort on the part OF
representative men throughout the
state to meet the demand for a weekly
paper devoted to the interests of the
Wnole people. It's editor Is A ]. Pills
Dury, the veteran newspaperman who
SO aply conducted the editorial page of
eie sacramento Union prior to the
transfer of that paper to the Calkins
syndicate and to the cause of the
nlgher ups and machine politicians.
with P1llsbury are associated Chester
noWelI, who has made the Fresno Re-
publican power in the cause of de-
cency In Central California, and A. ].
Waterhouse, formerly of the Sacra-
mento Union The business manage
ment of the new paper has been in
trusted to Orrin Black.
The stock of the California Weekly
is held by zoo representative Califor-
mans, none of whom was permitted to
subscribe more than $500 It's pro-
moters admit frankly enough that they
launcned the new paper without
thought of immediate pecuniary profit
Ihey wanted a weekly paper devoted
10 the best interests of California and
to the peoples side of the great civic
and moral questions which California
must solve promptly.
Ihe purpose of the California Weekly
is serious The first number indicates
that the seriousness of its purpose does
not imply heaviness or dust dry treat
ment or news and theories. The edi-
torlal foreword proclaims that 'Tt is
proposed to publish a weekly paper
which shall be as generally entertain
ing as possible but that the real pur-
pose OF the paper is to represent the
pest conscience and best intelligence
or the community in the discussion of
the many issues, political social and
moral, which must arise in this state
The California Weekly is as souareIy
for the graft prosecution and for the
cause of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league
OF republican clubs as it is unequivocal-
~ against the political domination of
the Southern Pacific company's ma
chine. Announcing its attitude on these
several questions the California Week
Iy also denies vigorously that it will
be the organ Of the graft prosecution,
the Lincoln Roosevelt league or any
other organized interests.
The matter in the first number is
well selected, bright, well written. and
a genuine conservatism Is dominat-
fngly present in every line
