GOOD TALKS WERE MADE

The Pauline Bible class of the First
Christian church held it's class ban
quet last night at the church parlors
on Tenth and Blondeau. A large num-
Der of Jealous workers was present
to discuss matters of Importance and
interest to the society. When all had
assembled, they repaired to the din

was prepared, which consisted of the
following meinu:
Mock Oyster Soup

Rev. Geo. G. Williams, pastor of the
Congregational church, was toastmas-
ted and in most charming inimitable
way introduced the first speaker of
the evening, G. M. Crane, the president
of the class.
Mr.. Crane said that since man
is elected president he is not neces-
sarily always good speaker, and that
this general rule might be applied in
his case. The Pauline Bible class was
organized September 1, 1907, and
since then he, as it's president, guided
the class from its birth, with fatherly
tenderness and solicitude and watched

Three years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at its worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmdnt Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swiried fierceIy
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was Just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
strueted is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and it's Accomplishments without
single injury other than tne complete
destruction of everything lnfammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over million dollars
was spent in interior finishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
2lst of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open TO the public with SPLEEN

Francisco cana
The hotel was not fully complete at
that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Fotel Company, which for
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.
A Wonderful Hotel.
In it San Franciscans have a hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as
in the matter of location, it stands
absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for

taking care of one thousand guests.
Its entertainments features are so nu-
merous and SO varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff.
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings. can be held
under it's roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
Marvellous Outlook.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most bIase and expe-
rienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows flor

superb panorama Of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. ST. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel hes the busy city, in which
new steel sky-serapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
In the Center of the City.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt In
new and better way, is but few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
ear lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
we'll as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
Unique Among the World 8 Hotels.
The Fair1nont Hotel differs from al
most any similar Institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street. was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
entertained guests of all nations, so the

been so great of late that occasionally
the Senate has had to adjourn earlier

A long hard debate is looked for
over the excise tax. The opposition to

Republicans. This is not so much an
opposition to the excise tax as it is a

is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. It is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
Of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps. held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of hand-wroaght
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, broau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco aud the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautifui
panorama of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is tne number and
variety of it's different dining places
In them one may find place to dire
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with accommoda-
lions for three hundred people. This
room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries. From its windows,

Teachers To Help

An appeal has been sent out from Washington by Chief Forester Pinchot, to the school teachers in all parts of the country, asking them to cooperate with the forestry bureau i'll obtaining more definite knowledge of the characteristics of the more important forest trees of the United States, which, it is believed, can be done through a large force of volun- teer observers who are expected to note the leafing, blossoming and fIuiting of the different kinds of trees.
 It is pointed out by MT. Pinchot that the value of this knowledge, from the standpoint of education as we'll as of practical forestry, will be great. It is admitted that the matter is one affect ing various interests, and MT. Pinchot' s idea, carried into general effect, will aid materially in creating a sentiment in favor of forestation and tree planting and preservation, and will help on the good work represented ill connection of natural resources.

Bartram said originally g, but now 25. MT. Eggleston said he understood that a hydrant within 800 feet of building would satisfy the board of underwriters and thought the hydrants were twice as thick as need be. Roland Marckres said that 800 feet was the official distance. G. M. Marckres moved that the meeting help MT. Bartram out by offering the old rate of $10. per year.

Van Alstyue though they should split and give the Company $15. Mcdonald thinks likewise. MT. Bartram finally offers them for $17.50 or would submit the whole matter to outside arbitration.

THE MILK QUESTION

Boarders in a Dairy Kill Profits on the
 Milkers.
 Speaking of the milk question far mer says: It is certainly hopeful sign when the farmers begin to sit up and talk 0 notice. The milk business seems to be somewhat out of balance at the present time, owing to the fact that price of milk has not advanced in proportion to the price of feeds, help, provisions and other operating ex- penses. I am inclined to believe that If the farmers were better organized, either through the Grange or milk producers associations, great benifits could be derived from an exchange of opinions. One of the great draw back with many dairies is the num- Der of boarders in 1t. It is safe to say there are hundreds of COWS in this state that do not produce any more than enough milk to pay for their feed. No dairyman can afford to keep such COWS.
