ROAD FOR WAGONS
ON ALAMEDA MOLE
C0uncilmen Will Ask Southern
Pacific Company TO Build
Thoroughfare on Pier

ALAMEDA, Jan. 5.--The Southern
Pacific is to be asked by the city coun-
ell to build a road for vehicle traffic
along the Alameda mole from the land
end near Alameda point TO the ferry
pier.
Councilman Sumner Crosby brought
the matter before his fellow members
on the municipal board. He said that
such a thoroughfare would be of great
convenience to automobilists, the
teaminG business and to general
travel in light horse vehicles. The
councilman stated that there are times
now when the two ferry systems of the
Southern Pacific company the creek
route and the Oakland mole route, are
unable to handle without delay the
trains of automobiles that seek pas
sage across the bay. With a third
route to accommodate this traffic.
Crosby believes that the problem of
quickly handling vehicle traffic across
the bay in rush periods will be solved.
At present all vehicles from this city
that have to cross the bay have TO go
to Oakland and there board ferry of
the creek route or go to the Oakland
pier for ferry transportation. The Ala
media mole is wide and well made of
rock and earth.

SOIL BACTERIA TO
Be SPECIAL STUDY
University Announces Courses
in Agriculture and Geology
as Features for New Term

BERKELEY, Jan. 1.-Two new
courses given for the first time at the
university on subjects treated in way
unique to the curriculum will be given
at the university commencing next
Tuesday. Professor George d. Louder
back of the department of geology and
c. B. Lipman, instructor in soil bae-
culture will offer the courses to the
students.
Lipmans course will open up a field
of bacteriology unknown here and little
known~in eastern colleges He proposes
TO conduct a series Of lectures on the
physical, chemical and ARCHAEOLOGICAL
factors which determine the produc-
tivity and the maintenance of fertility
in soils.
Lipman's work in the field of hacter-
ioloey has already attracted widespread
notice. especially his Investigations of
last year, when he determined that
life giving bacteria of plants are found
deeper in California than eastern soils.
This feature of the study of soils
will be incorporated in his new course
of lectures, announcement of which was
made today.
ioAessoI 0eoEse u 1ouderDack, VINO
was formerly a member of the faculty
OF the University of Nevada, will offer
course in the study of rocks without
the aid of the microscope. 1t is a
course intended for students who de-
sire knowledge of geology.
The course will also assist those stu
dents who intend to do prospecting
work and need knowledge of valuable
rocks. Both courses will be limited to
few students, on account of the desire
of the instructors to make their class
room work more of a seminary course
than that of the lecture room.
