EVAN.

Special Easter services were held
in the Evan M. E. Church on Sunday,
when the spring suits and hats made
their appearance. The hats the ladies
of our village chose are compromise
between the over turned dish pan and
inverted bushel basket style, and the
Merry Widow of last year, but not
quite as ridiculous as either. We fail
to see any beauty in the new styles
of hats and wonder how our sensible
sisters can bear to attract so much
attention by wearing them.
The Aura Grange held its annual
Easter supper last Saturday evening.
An interesting program, consisting of
vocal and instrumental music and
recitations was rendered by the young

Saturday evening and went to his

Celebration of the Anniversary of the
Golden Gate BY Don Casper de
Portola; City Is in Gala Attire;
Warships in Harbor, and the Most
Beautiful Woman for Queen of
the Festival.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-To cele-
brate the rebuilding and rejuvenation
of the city and the anniversary of the
discovery of the Golden Gate by Don
Caspar de Portola, the greatest festival
in San Francisco's history was opened
today.
President Taft sent message of
congratulation and good will, and all
over the world those who admire the
pluck and energy of San Franciscoans
in retaining the Pacific Coast met
fopolis from the wreckage left by
the earthquake and fire are toasting
the city and its future welfare.
Warships in Gala Attire.
With Warships here from all the
leading powers of the earth and with
the city in festival attire, the land
and water pageantry will rival and
probably Guido the recent celebra-
lions in New York and st. Louis.
From the opening pageant of the
entrance of Portola to the city, the
ceremonies attendant upon the presen-
tation of the golden key of the city
and the introduction and reception by
the queen, to the final marrymaking
on Saturday night, San Francisco win
be en- fete and every hour OF the day
and night will be crowded with Incl
dent and mighty spectacles. & cloud of
flags and bunting give the city gay
aspect today, and at night an unpre-
hofh hn
city in great flood of light.
Given a Real Good Time.
Governors and distinguished men
from nearly all of the western states
and official representatives from for
eign nations are here and are being
entertained with true San Francisco
hospitality. The visitors will have no
reason to complain of neglect or cold
treatment, as did some of the foreign
representatives at the Hudson Fulton
celebration in New York.
Miss Vergilia Bogue, whom the cele-
bration committee decided to be the
most beautiful girl in California, is
the queen of the festival She is the
daughter of Virgil G. Bogue, the dis
tinguished engineer who built the
Aroya Railway in Peru, the famous
railroad among the clouds in the An
des, said to be the greatest engineer
ing project ever undertaken.
Real Tropical Love-Making.
At present he is directing the engi-
neering dork on the Western Pacific
Miss Bogue is twenty-three, and as
beautiful as she is accomplished. She
has written two books, and the latest,
entitled "The Strength to Yield" is
said to be even more startling than
"Three Weeks" 1t is a most sensa-
tional novel, even to the point of
danger, although it does end right.
An Italian artist with an American
wife are the leading characters and
their tropical love-making, according
to those who have read the story, is
in keeping with the Mediterranean at
mosphere of the setting.

gether with two forwards passes they
carried the ball to normal ten-yard
line, where normal held and Farley
punted ball out of danger. The ball
was again returned by Austin to the
twenty-yard line, where one of the
Austin half backs broke through the
left end of ragged field for Austin's
first touchdown. They kicked goal
and the score stood 6 to in favor of
Austin. The normal boys again kicked
off to Austin and they returned the
ball about eight yards. Normal OBJ
tanned ball on tumble and carried it
to within Austins fifteen yard line.
The half ended with the ball in pos
session of Austin.
Pulled Out of Danger.
The second half opened by Austin
kicking to normal in the ten-yard line.
Ball returned about ten yards, was
then carried down to about middle of
field, when normal lost it on tumble
and by two long forward passes car
ried the ball into normal territory to
about fifteen-yard line, where normal
held and Farisy again pulled out of
danger. Austin then returned ball
down the field by long end runs and
forward passes, carrying it over for
second touch down. They again kicked
goal and score stood II to O.. Nor
NAL then kicked off to Austin and Aus
tin advanced the ball down
the field by quick dashes around the
ends to within two feet of normal's
goal line. They were unable to make
the game and so lost the ball on
downs. Farisy was forced to punt
from behind his own goal line at dis
tance Of only ten feet from the line
on account of fence, but normal line
held valiantly and the punt went out
without being blocked. The game ended
with ball in possession of Austin.
The Austin team played a good
game all the way through and the
treatment by the Austin school author
tiles is deserving of much praise. The
work of Captain Pecholt was highly
commended by the spectators in the
side lines. He seemed to be the life
of the team and the stone wall through
whom they could not break. Bassford
of Austin acted as referee.
