GOOD FRIDAY WILL
HALT CITY'S RUSH
Observance of the Day Will Be
General for First Time in
San Francisco

For the first time in the history of
the city a general and formal observ-
ance of Good Friday will be held in
San Francisco this year. There will be
special services in the downtown Cath
olic churches Old st. Mary's, Califor-
mia and Dupont streets; ST. Patrick's,
Mission street near Third; st. Boni-
faces. Golden Gate avenue near Leav-
enworth; Sacred Heart, Fell and Fill
more, and ST. Teresa in the Potrero.
These services will begin at noon
and continue until 8 o'clock. The
Merchants exchange and the stock eX-
change will suspend business during
these hours, and number of large
mercantile houses will do likewise,
while other establishments have sig
nified Willingness to allow employees
who so desire freedom to attend these
services. While no general canvass of
the business districts has been made,
friendly, spirit toward the movement
for the observance of Good Friday Is
manifested in all qaurters.
Y. NJ. L. STARTED MOVEMENT
The idea of arranging a general OBJ
servance of Good Friday originated
last year at the grand council of the
Young Mems institute in San Jose. A
committee was formed which developed
into a large association known as the
reverent observance of Good Friday
movement, at the head of which wa
placed Albert T. lie Breton. Practically
every Catholic organization in the city
is enrolled in the movement. 1t has
the sanction of Archbishop Riordan and
has been received with popular accord
on every hand.
While the services as above mem
toned will be held in the business cen
ters beginning at noon, other Good
Friday ceremonies will be held in all
the other Catholic churches in the city.
The special services are called the
three hours" commemorating the last
hours of Christ on the cross and in
cIuding the devotion known the
seven last words" These special serv-
ices and the reverent observance of
Good Friday are already established
features of the day in seven states of
the union besides California and ii is
thought that in time the movement
will become general throughout the
country.

Select Books for Teachers.

The executive board of the Arkan- sas Teachers Reading Circle, composed of pr. w. s. Johnson of the normal department of the University of Ar kansas, chairman; Prof. Ury McKen. zie, professor of Latin in the Arkan. sas State Normal School at Conway, and George B. Cook, state suJerin- tendent of public instruction, at re- cent session selected the books to be read by the members of the circle during the present year. A series of SIX books were tentatively adopted three of which treat of the science of teaching and three of which are along the lines of culture. The titles of the books will not be made public until the publishers have been consulted and the price of the books to the teachers has been fixed. It is expected that answers from the publishers will be received within the next the days.
 Last year there were four books in the series read by the teachers, the number this year being increased to six. The books last year were read by 2,20O teachers, which by no means rep resents the number of teachers in the state, which is close to 5000. The executive committee of the Arkansas Teachers Reading Circle will make an effort this year to increaye tho membership of the circle.
 It IS the desire of the committee that every teacher in Arkansas shall take the course. Those who complete the course are given diplomas by the Arkansas Teachers Association. This IS the fifth year of tn eexistence of the circle.

Congressman Robinson s Bill in Accord
 With District Engineers Report.

Little Rock-The bill introduced in Congress by Representative Joe T. Robinson for an appropriation of $400,- 900 for two dredge boats in the Arkan- sas river below Pine Bluff is a step in accord with the recommendations made by Major M. l.. Walker of the corps of engineers in charge of the Little Rock district.
 In the appendix to the majors report for the year ending June 30, 1909, he says:
 'I In continuation of the experimental dredging, the dradge Gamma-a dredge borrowed from the Mississippi river worked at Rob Roy, at Maddings and Richland Crossing un- til July 31, 1908, when the return trip to West Memphis was begun.
 ''At Rob Roy the main channel of the river had left the shore about mile and a half above the railway bridge and passed under the fixed spans of the bridge. There was a secondary channel following the left shore and passing through the draw openings of the bridge. The dredge was operated along this secondary channel in an ef- fort to maintain a navigable channel to the draw from the upstream side of the bridge.
 Although this dredge did not afford a navigable channel from October 10 to O1ctober "A, 1908, the lowest water period of this fiscal year, the result ob- tained was satisfactory to this extent, that during the period of ordinary low water in September and the first week in October there was good channel depth in the dredge cut as there was in the channel over the controlling shoals above and below the bridge and without his cut there could have been no steamboat navigation through this bridge during the medium and low water stages of this fiscal year, except for such small boats as were able to pass through the fixed spans of the bridge.
 "ln both seasons of the year the work has been necessarily done at com paratively high stages of the river, for  the dredging plant had to be returned to the Mississippi river commission in August of each year. On this account there have been no dredging operations during the low water periods, at which time such operations can be most suc- cessfully carried on, and it is still prob lematical as to the length of channel that single dregde can open and main- tain to three and a half or four foot depth during such periods.
 "The experimental dredging has shown that much material aid can be given navigation by this means, and it IS believed that the results so far ob. tained justify the procuring of two dredges suitable for this river for use below Little Rock'
