army. Here are located the great
Mission Dolores, the Oldest church
in the city, founded in 1776, by
Father Junipero Sierra. The old
cemetery, in which the first inter-
ment was made in 1916, adjoins the
church. New buildings of the most
modern construction and artistic
architecture are rapidly replacing
those which were destroyed in the
disastrous fire of April, 1906. The
City Hall still remains, in ruins. San
Francisco practically dates from the
discovery of gold in California, and
no city has a more remarkable his
tory, except perhaps Seattle, Wash.
To begin with, San Francisco sits
at the head of a peninsula, upon
a score of hills overlooking a beau
tiful bay on the east, and the Gold
en- Gate, and the wide expanse of
the Pacific on the west. 1t seems
like a miracle as the tale is told of
the discovery of gold in Ell Dorado
county, on the south fork of the
American river, near Coloma, by
James w. Marshall on Jan. "a,
1S4S. San Francisco had at that
time a total population of 800 per-
sons, and to-day they estimate its
population at 100000. We returned
from our sightseeing trip in time
to catch the 4 o'clock Coast line
train. A week later we spent a
day in and around San Francisco.
At Berkley, we called on Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred Schuller and Mr.. Clar-
ence Decker. Found them all very
well. Mr.. Decker was about to
leave for the mountains for a rest.
He has been the chief architect at
the rebuilding of the Palace Hotel.
We also visited the University of
California with its thirty-two build
ings and it's beautiful grounds, and
the Greek Theatres. Here is an
open-air auditorium with seating
capacity of over 10000 people, built
of solid concrete and patterned after
the ancient, classic structure at
Epidaurus.
In the afternoon we took a trip
to Mt. Tamalpais. Leaving San
Francisco at one-thirty We had a
fine ride across San Francisco Bay,
giving us a view of Goat Island,
Alcatraz Island, Angel Island, Fort
Point, Fort Baker, and the Golden
Gate, landing at Sansalito. From
Sansalito to Mill Valley by a third

miles up the mountain, over the
around the famous double-bow knot,
where the track of the railroad
parallels itself five times within a
distance of about 800 feet, to the
top of the mountain 1852 feet above
sea level. The view from this point
in unsurpassed; to the west is the
Pacific Ocean; to the south the
Santa Cruz range, with Mt. Hamil-
ton fifty miles away in the distance;
San Francisco, the Golden Gate and
the Bay at our feet; to the south
east Mt. Diablo SO miles away,
pushes it's great bulk above the
Coast range; while to the north the
gray, volcanic cone of Mt. st. Helena
so miles away, lifts it's graceful sum-
init to view. 1t was beautiful,
clear day and the view was excel
lent.
The Associated Press had this
item in the San Francisco paper un-
der date of July 9th, 1903: Mount
Tamalpais, famous among tourists
as the location of the crookedest
railroad, and almost equally noted
as the most conspicuous scenic
point about San Francisco Bay, soon
will be converted into a vast public
park. At the head of the committee
promoting the affair is Mr.. William
Kent, who gave the great red-woods
to the Government for a national
park"
Our next letter will tell of our
trip down the Coast line to Los
Angeles, and of our impressions of
Southern California.

The pleasure of huckleberrying
is partly in the season-the late
summer time. from mid-July to
September. The poignant joys of
early spring are passed, and the
exuberance of early summer, while
the keen stimulus of fall has not
yet come. Things are at poise. The
haying is over; the meadows, shorn
of their rich grass, lie tawny-green
under the sky, and the world seems
bigger than before. 1t is not a
time for dreams nor a time for eX-
ploits, it is a time for-for-well,
for berrying!

SOME GOOD POSITIONS.
Supervisors of State Census and
EnumeratOrS.

There are twenty-three excellent
given. They are those of supervis-
ors of the census, and will be given
by the President, when the tariff
bill is disposed of.
While there is no hurry about the
matter, the politicians cannot let
good positions carrying $4,000 per
annum with them pass them. The
state has been districted, and for the
80 congressional districts there will
be but % supervisors. 1t is said
that there are several candidates for
the Office in this county, but they
are keeping quiet.
For Philadelphia, which contains
six districts, there will be but one
supervisor, and the same for Allie
gheny county. There will be one
supervisor for Chester and Delaware
counties, one for Montgomery and
Bucks, and one for Lehigh and
Berks, one for Lancaster and one
for York and Adams.
So it will go through all the dis
tricts in the eastern section of the
state. Supervisors will have an
army of enumerators to appoint, but
there will be one for each election
district.
The number to be chosen will be
determined upon later. The super
visors will begin their duties practi-
cally about January 1, next, while
the enumerators will not begin until
April ) next. The patronage in all
cases will come directly under the
congressman, and this plum will go
far toward helping some of those
in doubt of denomination next year

MUNICIPAL CAR
SYSTEM PLANNED

San Francisco, Sept. SIT is re-
ported today that the public utilities
committee of the board of supervisors
have perfected in secret a compre-
hensive plan to gridiron the city with
municipal streetcar system.
The scheme has been under con-
sideration for some time, but the COM
mittee has said nothing while a
corps of experts have been working
opt plans.
The starting point Of the system will
be the Geary street road, according
TO the rumors, and a subway on Mar
ket street and to pass under Golden
Gate park in two places is being con-
sldered in the pans
The members of the committee ar
que that the consideration of the
project of building a complete sys-
TEN to cover every part of the city Is
the only way to settle the transporta-
tion problem in San Francisco. The
proposed lines will reach every sec
tion of the city from the ferry to
Ocean beach and the Mission.

This was the reply Of Secretary Bal
linger today when pressed for an ex-
preston of opinion as to how long
he thought the controversy in Wash
ington regarding the conservation Of
the natural resources would continue.
Mr.. Ballinger passed the entire day
in Boston. while the president was at
tending the Yale celebration at the
Brooklin Country club, but he came
to Beverly today and had a second
interview with the president
Mr.. Ballinger consistently declined
to discuss the situation in any way
but President Taft let it be known
that no decision on the matters at is
sue could be expected for some time.
He ntimated that there would be no
statement from here as to any feature
of the controversy. 1t had been sup
posed that settlement might be an
nounced before the president leaves
for the west next Wednesday, but Mr..
Taft dispelled this idea today by say
ing that he did not know when he
would be in a position either to talk
or to act.
Secretary Ballinger said that he
hoped to be in Washington Thursday,
leaving the impression that he would
see the president again tomorrow.

No Cause for Alarm

Arden, n. Y, Sept. S.-After night
of uncertainty it was determined
shortly after midnight that E. H.Har-
riman is not in such critical condi-
ton as earlier reports indicated. A
party of newspaper men succeeded in
reaching the Hartman house and in
talking with DR.. Lyle who said em-
phatically that there was no cause for
alarm.
Rumors of the most alarming nature
were circulated throughout the early
part of the night. Shortly before 10
o'clock there came a report that the
financier had died in a sudden coll
lapse.
Where this rumor came from no
one can say, but with the difficulty
of obtaining communication with the
Hartman home, it was given wide
circulation and had spread on the
wings of wind from the Atlantic to
the Pacific before a terse denial over
the telephone from DR.. Lyle set it at
rest.

During the progress of the fire and
afterwards much adverse comment

Bloom, 65 years OF age the first man
who settled at Cove, 16 miles from
here, died at Hot Lake sanitarium
yesterday at noon. Bloom and three
other families arrived in Union county
in 1862.
Bloom was in the packing business
in the early days and later did team
ing in this section. With the advent
of the railroad in this county he went
into business at Cove and a few years
ago retired from business. None of
his distinctions was revered more than
the fact that he drove the first team
from Union to Cove, digging down
the banks OF the Grand Ronde river
that his team might cross.

vouchsafed for by his nurse. Later
this was reiterated by DR.. Lyle, Har-

which are rife that Hartman died

But DR.. Lyle declined to add even
a word to his denial and his refusal
to give out any further information
regarding his patients condition gave
further grounds for speculation - a
situation that was readily seized upon
by alarmists.
The optimistic tenor of the state
ment issued in New York by a friend
of Mr. Hartman did not serve to quiet
even during the afternoon the appre-
hension that was felt there. It was
pointed out that the information upon
which the statement was based may
have been a day old
