A Gracious Act Toward Berry.
That was a very gracious and
kindly act on the part of sixty-nine
of the United States senators, Re-
publicans as well as Democrats, in
petitioning President Taft to ap-
point Ex-senator Berry of. Arkan-
sas, to some position in the admin
istration of the government. Sena-
tor Berry has held many positions
of honor, but today poor man and
almost in need. 1t is not often that
senators from public life are in this
condition. .-Boonville Advertiser.
"Skulldueeery" at Maryville.
If one-fourth of the "skull-dug-

school is true, that town is not de-
serving of state institution, and
Governor Hadley will not do his
duty unless he vetoeS the appropri-
alton. Until those factions can get
together they should be taught a
lesson, and now is the time to dc

The Burlington Discriminates
Against Weston.
AS predicted by The Chronicle 6
few years ago the Burlington is
trying to make a flag or whistling
station of Weston. Since Sunday
night the 10-45 train whistles g

through it about forty miles an hour
This is an injustice to Weston anC
our citizens should invoke the aiC
of our state officers and compel al
their trains to slow up to six mile;
an hour while in the city limits as
per state law. 1t is hardly yeal
since one of our citizens was in

trains. The Burlington don't care

care for the Burlington. The Law

WOMAN'S TWENTIETH CENTURY
CLUB

1t was on February 25, 1908, that
little handful of women gathered to-
gether in the home of Mrs. P. w.
Parker and decided to organize them
selves into Woman's club for the bet
terment of the social life in the valley.
Thirteen members signed the consti-
tuition of the club, and, although there
are but four of these charter members
still in the club today, it has steadily
progressed until at the present writ
ing there are between fOrty-fiVe and
fifty enthusiastic members. and the
Woman'S Twentieth Century club of
Eagle Rock valley has become well
known as one of the most progressive
WOman's clubs in the state of Califor-
mia. Although organized at first chief
ly as a social organization they have
taken up an important line of work
each year, which has added greatly to
the interest of the club work.
The new year book, which has just
come from the publishers, shows an
interesting years work to be taken up.
The theme of study for the ensuing
year will be Woman" and under this
interesting head will be many impor-
tant topics discussed. Papers will be
read on woman Before the Christian
Era" "Women of Medieval History
and the Renaissance" Great Queens
of History" women of the Eliza
bethan Period, "WO omen VINO Have
Influenced History" "Our Forgotten
FOremother Women of the Revolu-

of the Frontier" "Mothers of Famous
Americans" THE Silent Army of the
Civil War" "Womans Relation to the
Healing Art" "Woman's Part in the
War Against Child Labor" woman
Suffragettes." women in Literature,
Science and Art" Settlement Work.
and "The Higher Education of
Women" Many prominent speakers
from Los Angeles and surrounding
towns will also give addresses on this
popular and ever-interesting subject.
The hostesses will be the different
members of the club.

CHICAGO, Dec 11.-High premiums paid for
cash wheat at the leading grain centers held

STOCK MARKET
Is OUTESCENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-The stock market
was marked by the quiescence Of the us
ually active stocks Of the great corporations
and the wide movements in shares of minor
companies. A transaction in United States
steel was a comparative rarity. There
were heavy dealings in Western Maryland
certificates. Utah copper, National enamel
ing and other stocks.
The action of the market was but little
responsive TO news developments. The ap-
proach of the year end money requirements
had some restraining effect on speculation
although fears of a stringency have passed
London discounts we're inclined TO harden
today and prospects of further gold exports
from London caused some renewal Of solici-
tude there.
The rumors yesterday of harmful action
involving Reading by the department OF
Justice were explained by the contents OF
the annual report of the attorney general.
The survey given therein of pending anti
trust legislation and its prospects served to
bring the subject to the attention OF the
stock market and 70. recall the number and
extent of these measures and the wide
spread issues concerned.
The verdict in the New York court
against the legality of the American ice
company increased the attention given to
the subjects. It's impression not ma
terially modified by the assertion that the
presidential recommendations on the sub
ject would be deferred until after the SUI
preme court decisions on the appeal Of the
American tobacco and Standard oil cases.
The low prices realized on the sale yesterday
of New York city per cent bonds was not
considered a hopeful prognostic for com
ing hotations of corporation securities.
The bank statement disclosed more bene-
fit from the cash receipts from the interior
than was estimated and while there was
some expansion of the loan account, the
excess of that account over deposits was
slightly lessened, reversing the tendency
manifest for several weeks past
