tor of the Century dye works, 1890

of the Southern art students league
in the same building were badly dam

an automobile blanket

the most progressive steps ever taken
by Il San Francisco newspaper in the
development of the country lands in
this section.
The home seekers will depart by
special train over the Southern Pacific
railway. The tickets are free They
are issued by the excursion manager
at the ground floor office of The Call,

PROBATE FEE DECISION
HOLDS IN HIGHER COURT
City's Appeal to Supreme Tri-
bunaI Is Defeated

Upholding the decision of the lower
courts, which held that the act under
which the treasurer OF the city and
county of San Francisco collected fees
in probate matters was unconstitu-
tional, the supreme court yesterday af-
firmed the judgment of the lower courts
in the case of Charles E. Trower
against the city and county of San
Francisco.
Trower. a property holder. acting on
behalf of a number of claimants, insti-
tuted suit against the city treasurer
and was awarded a judgment.
Appeal was taken by the city on the
allegation that the statute of limita
tions nullified the action of Trower
The court held that suit was COM
menced within the limit of that statute.

HOME SEEKERS ARE
QUICK TO RESPOND
Excursion to Modesto Arranged by The Call
Has Struck Popular Chord and
Will Be Great Success

The announcement last Thursday
that The Call would send a free excur-
sion of 125 home seekers to Modesto
June has excited widespread interest
1t the intention had been to find out
just how many actual home seekers
there are in San Francisco at the pres
ent time no better means could have
been taken to secure that information.
The Office of The Call has been thronged
nouncement- with men and women in
terested IN country lands. Litera ature
in regard to Modesto and its. oppor-
tunities is provided all who call, and
many have already arranged to go on
the excursion.
NECESSARY LIMITATION
AS the Disbursements committee, as
well as the number of automobiles
to be used at Modesto by the
visitors is limited, 1t was deemed best
to limit the excursion to 125. That
number can be well taken care of, and
judging by the indications, fully that
number of actual home seekers will be
secured.
1t is thought that this free home
seekers excursion is only the first Of
many similar ones which will be run
later to other good farming sections
of central California where progressive
methods of building UP the country
prevail.
GOOD WORK OF THE CALL
This one is entirely the result of
The Calls series of promotion numbers
devoted to central California farms 1t
is natural that the newspaper which
has taken the most active interest in
this work of development should be
the one to foster and encourage these
free excursions. The Call by its atti-
tude in publishing to the world the
many advantages central California
possesses in Its matchless farm lands
and boundless water supply has earned
the good will of the country districts
wherever they may be. This is appar-
ent not only in the increased outside
circulation of this newspaper, but in

Point Lobos Improvement Club
Begins Agitation

At the second meeting of the Point
Lobos improvement club reports were
made by the special committee rela-
tive to the matter of tax assessment of
the Laurel Hill cemetery association.
1t is the understanding of the asso-
citation that by the act of former leg
islature all burial ground properties
are exempt from all taxation, and to
get a definite decision in the matter the
association will be given hearing be-
fore the board of equalization some
time in July.
The improvement club holds that all
property of the association that can
not be used for burial purposes should
be subject to taxation.

The Chatauqua at Montreal, North
Carolina.
INTERESTS or HOME AND SCHOOL
Messrs. Henderlite and Somerville
Speak, Etc.

Montreal, N. c., Aug. 22nd, 1910.
To The Free Lance.
Montreal is not town nor is it even
village. 1t is simply summer resort
under the control and management of
committee of the Southern Presbyterian
church and owned by stockholders
largely from the Presbyterian church,
though not altogether or necessarily so.
II is about two miles from Block
Mountain on the main line Of the
Southern road.
Montreal is beautifully located, right
! in the bosom of the mountain. 1t is
2, 800 feet above the sea level. Great
tall mountains tower above you in
every direction and trails just large
enough for a man or mule wind round
and round till they bring you to their
summit Among these are Grey Beard
Mountain, $500 feet high, and Mt.
Mitchell, GIL feet.
Montreal covers an area | should say
of two miles long by a quarter of
mile wide and nearly every lot has been
sold and is owned by private parties
| for summer resorts. Cottages and
tents are to be seen in every direction.
Scores of people bring their families
here for the summer. The purpose
and aim is rest, spiritual and physical,
and you will certainly get it at the
| Chatauqua here. 1t is beyond doubt
the most delightful resort that | have
ever visited.
The mornings from 8 to 1870 are
spent in worship and we have here the
pleasure of hearing some of the best
speakers Of the land. Time would fail
me to mention all. Notably among
these, however, is Rev. DR.. K. G.
Pearson, professor of English Bible in
Lebanon (Tenn.) University. DR..
Pearson is a wonderful man. He stands
firmly for Gods word, for its inspira-
ton and its truth, and though his lee
lures are conspicuous for simplicity, he
charms and thrills you with his earnest
ness. his force and his loyalty to Gods
word. Rev. j. +. Thacker, ID. D.,
dearly beloved by Fredericksburg peo-
pie, comes this week TO be one of the
speakers. The rest Of the day is spent
in recreation.
There are people here from almost
every State, certainly every Southern
State. The social feature is simply de-
lghtful. The day is pleasantly spent
In drives, climbing the mountains.
social chats, games, &c.
At night a service is again held and
at 1890 the lights are turned of and
thus the day is ended. The various
causes of the church are brought before
the people in their turn at the morning
conferences and at night. Rev. j. II.
Henderlite presented in his own forceful
and attractive way the interests Of the
home and school at Fredericksburg at
one of the night services and | spoke
on the same subject the next morning.
Great interest and enthusiasm was
aroused.
Mr.. Henderlite, Mrs. Somerville and
myself reached here last Wednesday
and we leave today. Mr.. II. goes to
Henderson, N. c., where he will be
joined by his wife and children, and Mrs.
Somervile and myself start for home.
We can never forget our delightful
stay at this mountain resort. With
best wishes, S. w. Somerville.

night seemingly well and was taken

About 7 O'Clock one of her sons went
to her bedside and tried to arouse her.
Others were called and it was discover
ed that she was dead. She was a mem
Der of the Episcopal church, 81 years
old and had been subject to attacks
similar to the one which caused her
death.
Her husband, two sons, Douglas and
