San Rafael, Cal, Feb. THE first
definite clew to the identity of the
young woman murdered on the south
slope of Mount Tamalpais was OBJ
tanned today by Coroner Sawyer when
Walter T. Solenberger of Mill Val
ley reported that last summer he saw
young woman, fitting the descrip-
ton of the dead woman in almost
every detail, start up Hog Back trail
every Saturday morning for eight
weeks.
"She might have been a school
teacher" said Solenberger. "She was
always reading a letter as she walk
ed by my house and started up the
trail, and seemed so absorbed in ii
that she paid no attention to any
one, and never stopped as she passed.
Il am sure she came from San
Francisco, as she always appeared
about 10 minutes after the arrival
of the morning train from the San
Francisco boat.
Il would say that she was one of
those persons who like to take long
walks and are nature lovers. 1t APP
peared that she made it a regular

corded.
During the five years that we

could estimate the damage done
by one squirrel on the College
Farm at less than 81. and if that
is true. the expenditure was
wise one, besides our aim has been
to get the majority Of squirrels
III the month of March, before the
young were born.
For instance, we had - acres
OF experimental Wheats ON the
new addition to the College Farm.
the Irwin place. This field had no
squirrels caught in it the previous
year, because it was summer fall
low, our efforts being made on
the other part Of the farm that
was in crop.
On the first day of March man
was set to work on this particular
field with the traps. and during
the month he brought me 800 tails,
costing the college $50. He also
looked after some horses that were
over there morning and night.
There were some days that the
squirrels did not come out. 376
Of the 800 were females, which
would have produced had they
been left alone, making a conserV-
ative estimate, 2,256 young SPUR
rels. The damage done the hybrid
wheats would have been disas-
trous The expenditure in my
mind to capture them being a mere
drop III the bucket.
Some farmers have told me they
can save their crops from SPUR
rels by using poison, which costs
a deal of money where the farms
are large
| can positively say, if we had
not used traps and kept a man af-
ter them, the squirrels would have
destroyed many valuable expert
ments on the College Farm, and
were it not for squirrels that come
in from our neighbors. we would
be entirely without the pest. AS
1t Is, there are none only inside
the line fences, and from now on
it will cost but little to keep them
within bounds.
To sum up the matter, if we had
only used poison we would have
lost much of the crop and still had
the squirrels. BY the trap method
we have saved our crops and ami
hilated the pests, except on the
boundary lines.
In conjunction with my late re
spected head, Prof. Severance. the
squirrel battle has been fought
successfully on the College Farm
at cost which is indeed small in
comparison with results obtained.

Solenberger's house is at the foot
of Hog Back trail, near which the
skeleton was found last week.
According to Solenberger the de-
scription of the woman and her cloth
ing agrees entirely with the supposed
school teacher except that she wore
felt hat, something like that of a
soldier, instead of a straw hat such
as was found by the body.
Unable to Identify.
Solenberger made an examination
of the remnants of clothes and the
jewelry in possession of the coroner,
but on account of the body having
been reduced to a skeleton he was un-
able to make an Identification.
Coroner Sawyer arranged to go up
the trail this afternoon to get the
rock with which the woman's skull
is supposed to have been crushed
The coroner is impressed with the
theory that the woman may have
been school teacher, whose love
for nature led her to take the week
ly excursion up the mountain for
health and enjoyment
The little knoll on which the skele-
ton was found might we'll have been
chosen as place to rest and it is
considered probable that she might

Andrew Masen Would Not Sell island
for $30,o0o-iow . SaiIorman Got
TanaIed in His Land Toes.

Andrew Mason, one of two brothers
who own Mason island, was in the
village Monday and stated that the
island had not and would not be sold
as long as the brothers. lived He
said that the island was more valua-
BILE to him as 1t now stands, as the
leases OF the different parcels of land
used for camping purposes bring in
a large revenue. Thirty thousand dol
lars is the price offered for the island
by f. A. Shultz of New York. who
is at the head of a syndicate desiring
the property for the erection of a
large summer hotel. The island.
which consists of about 200 acres. is
one of the most beautiful spots along
the shores of Long Island sound and
several attempts have been made to
purchase III, but the owners have de-
clined to sell. There are about forty
cottages and bungalows on the island
at present and Mr.. Mason stated that
several new shacixs are to be built
this summer. The island is an ideal
camping place and as many as sew
enty camping parties have been there
during one season.

A prominent old salt of the village
with his family was recently invited
to dine at the home of a neighbor.
This social duty demanded his dom
ming his best toys, and this being of
infrequent occurrence with him he
made a mistake that later proved to
his discomfort AS he sat down to the
table he seemed greatly agitated, and
IL was noticed that his collar was at
an unusual angle in front. The host
called his guest to one side and es-
corted him to another room. where a
hurried examination was made. 1t
proved that he had arranged the bos-
ON of his white shirt on the wrong
side of his person, which gave annoy
ance until a change had been made.
The object of his own mistake. in
speaking of the accident, said: Il can
rig a ship and will ask no help from
any man. but when it comes to rig
ging myself up for these blasted land

BRIDGEPORT TRADE SCHOOL
To Be of the Very Rest-Quarters BE
ing Fitted Up.

jeremiah Holmes, director of the
Bridgeport trade school, for which &C
commo dations are being fitted UP in
the old factory of the Spring Perch
company in John street, has returned
from a visit to the secretary of the
state board of education, with whom
he had been talking over the policy te
be pursued in the Bridgeport school
Mr.. Holmes said that the rooms would
not be ready for some time; that while
some of the machinery to be used had
been purchased, none of it had yet
been installed and 1t would be several
weeks before things would be in read
mess for the opening.
Workmen are engaged in remodeline
the rooms to be used and the machin-
cry already purchased will be installed
as soon as possible and the rest would
be purchased as soon as it is deter
mined just what will be required. The
policy of the school, Mr. Holmes said
is being carefully considered by those
in charge, what is being done in other
schools of like character in other parts
of the country is being looked into and
it is the intention to have the Bridge
port school second to none.
The instructors for the school have
not yet been selected, but will be some
time during the present month. A
number of men are under considera-
ton.
1t is the desire to give Bridgeport
the very best, and for that reason the
committee in charge will move slowly,

POWER HOUSE SITE.
New One Secured at New Haven by
New Haven Road.


1t has been practically settled by
the officials of the New Haven rail-
road that the big power station for
the operation of electric trains. when
that system is extended from STAN
ford to New Haven, will be located in
that city and one of the sites now
being considered, and known favored
by some of the electrical experts of the
company, is the unused ground adj
joining the trolley power station on the
plenty of ground there, owned by the
company. something like 800 feet by
173 feet, for the enlargement of the
present power plant for operation of
electric cars on the main line. The
gradual consolidation of the two plants
making one for trolley and main line
electricss IS one of the things which
this location would make possible, says
the Norwalk Hour
As stated by one of the electrical ex-
perts of the company today the present
system of power transmission is be-
hind the times and 1t is only a ques
tion of time when a more improved
system will be installed, but this work
will take years. In making the cur
rent for the operation of trains on the
main line the same plant could fur
nish the power for the trolleys of this
and surrounding cities under an inn
proved system and. one power station
therefore could be doing the work of
two. Various places have been report
ed as the location of the new power
plant. At one time it was reported
that it would be located on land owned
by the company on the Housatonic riv-
er near Naugautck Junction, but it ap-
pears certain now that the plant will
be located in New Haven, and the To-
cation on Mill river at Grand avenue
is considered by some of the officials
as the best because of the advanta ge
offered in the way of future improve
ment of the electrical end of the
roads operation.

MUNICIPAL REGISTER
MUNICIPAL REGISTER
Ready for Distrbution-Fire Chief Joy
Urges Pressing Need of More Four
Gate Hydrants

The municipal register of the city
| of Putnam for 1910, containing the
message of the mayor. the personnel
of the city government and city off,
GERS for 1910, receipts and expendI-
| lures, and the annual reports of the
| several city departments for the mu-
nicipal year has been issued and is
| ready for distribution.
The register is filled from cover to
| cover with interesting facts that make
up q record of the doings of the city
officials for the year.
The following recommendation of
Chief M. r. Joy of the fire department
contained in the register is of special
interest: 1.-The hydrant system should
be looked into without delay. There
has been no change made in the hy
drarts to meet the growing condition
of the city, and you of course realize
that things have changed quite a little
have more hydrants, and several that
are now in use should be changed from
two gate to four-g gate, and I assure
you it is very necessary that this be
attended to.
There are several places at the in
tersection of streets where in case of
fire two lines of hose are leaid, and If
more lines are needed it necessitates
the closing of the hydrant and the at
taching of other appliances, or going
to teh next hydrant, which is gen.
orally SO far away that a thousand or
more feet of hose has to be laid be-
readily understand what a handicap
this is when every moment means so
much at the outset of a fire, and it
could be partly remedied by having
more four gate MIGRANTS.

Saratoga Chips tAntf-dyspeptic,.

Most dishes requiring deep frying
are denied the dyspeptic because they are
usually fried in lard, and lard does not
"agree." The following recipe will be
welcomed by those of poor digestion:
Peel the potatoes and slice thin into
cold water. Drain well. and dry in a
towel. Fry few at a time in hot Cotto-
lene. Salt as you take them out, and lay
them on coarse brown paper for short
time.
The above recipe can be followed
without the least fear of disagreeable
after effects. The chips will be crisp
and dry-not greasy, as when fried in
lard Cottolene contains no hog fat,
but is made of purest cottonseed oil; it
recommended byphysicians generally.
