HOURLY BOAT in
BELVEDERE RUN
Northwestern Pacific Will Re-
store Service for COfnmu=
tiers via Sausalito

Commuters of Belvedere and Tiburon
are at last to have the service that was
once theirs. Announcement to this ef-
feet was made yesterday afternoon at
the offices of the Northwestern Paclnc
railroad, which company runs boats be
tween this city and Sausalito and IL
buron The new service will become
effective the first of next month. A
direct service between San Francisco
and Tiburon will not be inaugurated,
but extra boats will be placed in serv-
ice between Sausalito and Tiburon.
Arrangements have been concluded
whereby the steamer James p Donohue
will connect hourly with the boats that
ply between here and Sausalito- This
will allow the residents of Belvedere
to come and go between here and that
place at more frequent hours and VIII
be an accommodation that has been the
cause Of considerable wrangllng pc
tween the suburbanites and the rail-
road officials.
The Northwestern Pacific took off
the Tiburon boats some time ago, and
ever since there has been complaint.
The new arrangement is the result or
an offer on the part of those living at
Tiburon and Belvedere to pay an IN
crease in the commuter rates
Another change that will be made IN
the Northwestern Pacific ferry service
November l, is the restoration or the
615 boat in the evening. This was only
taken off a few weeks ago when the
regular winter changes were made in
the schedules. 1t has been found that
the els boat accommodates large
number of passengers, and for this rea-
son that part of the summer schedule
is restored

age, the Oldest aviator on earth, has
started from this city to fly around
the world In a biplanc of his own
make. Captain baldwin expects to
make about $4,000 miles in his globe
circuit and TO be about three years
in achieving the great feat. So far
as Is known he is the only aviator
who has ever dreamed OF oircumnav-
igating the globe aerially. II IL only
about year since Baldwin began to
do aeroplane flying. Prior to that
<tlme he was the most noted Of bal
ioepists. For thirty years he has
made balloon ascensions, Twenty
years ago he made circuit of the
world, giving exhibitions in para
chute jumping in various cities. When
the dirlgible balloon became popular
Baldwin turned to that and invented
a new type of dirigible in which he
made various flights At the st. Louis
aviation meet in the fall of 1899 the
veteran was present with his dirigible
but when he say the aeroplanists
flying he determined TO get strictly up
to date so he set to work and built a
biplane after hts own pattern. He
