tain and then go through SCOTS valley,
Happy valley and along the Branch
forte creek into Santa Cruz
This route is but 50 miles in
length. The grades are easy and the
curvature is far less than the present
old line. -Four new tunnels will have
to be constructed. The first tunnel is
the longest and the shortest is but 200
feet. party of 20 men has been busy
since last summer setting the stakes
for the new route.
The old line will be open for use

mel is cleared and the obstruction in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-At the con-
ference of leaders of organized labor

tive engineers and President Valentine
of the molders' union.
Valentine declared that conditions
affecting unemployed workmen were
worse than in the panic years of 1873
and 1893. He urged restrictions on i'm
mi grafton.
Secretary Straus pointed out that the
United States had international obliga-
tions as old as the country itself which
could not be abrogated. IF we Were
to undertake that" said the secretary
from the standpoint of amity and inter-
national intercourse, our action might
be tantamount to a declaration of war
with a foreign power"

The fat Of Dr. David Starr Jordan.
president of Stanford university, 10 the
fraternitfes that they pull up in their
scholarship or take measures he sug-
gests to this end has caused consid-
erable surprise among the Undergrad

the effect that the frats have been be
low the standard of the other men this
caused a stir.
The letter has not. however, been def
nitely acted upon by any OF the chap
ters, and It is not expected that any
thing certain will come OF the cOmmu-
nication. Prominent fraternity men
say they consider the communication
in the light of a warning from the ex-
ecutive head that their scholarship as
fraternities has not been up TO the
standard, and that with his infOrma-
tion at hand they believe that they
can make house rules which will lead
TO the desired end without adopting

SUPPORT FOR FLOWER VINES.
Two Long Sticks, Held BY Screws,
Easily Removed, Afford Protec-
ton from Severe Storms.

Last year I tried a aew support for
lowering vines which proved most
satisfactory, says a writer in the
Housekeepsr. I took two light sticks
long enough TO reach across the end
OF the piazza where I wished 70 train
the vines. and connected them with
stout cords on which the vines might
run. In the upper stick I fastened
three screw eyes. which slipped over
three corresponding hooks at the top
OF the piazza Several times during
the summer. when We had furious
storms which whip the tender vines
so ruinously. 7 unlocked the support
and placed the vines fat on the piaz.
"a door, securing the stick with A cou-
pie OF stones. In this way they es.
capped the worst OF the storm and
were quite fresh when I hooked them
in place again. Our vines never be-
fore lived through the summer in such
good condition. The frst frosty
nights the vines were placed on the
ground and covered with a blanket
so that our blossoms remained quite
late, and when at last they became
frostbitten IL was very simple to re-
move both vines and support. leaving
behind no dangling strings Or wires
