 The law requires that articles Of incorporation must specify the ex Q -ruptiOn, o: the stockholders aill be liable in proportion that their bCld-
 ngs bear to all stock issued In thi- -tate there is DO provision for making E such exemptions, and stock holders must bear their proportionate debts

BERKELEY. Feb. 23.-Grizzly peak,
the highest elevation of the Berkeley
hills, and the objective point of pic
