President of Facific Highland
Road Gives Out Statement

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 17.-Dr A. T..
Dickinson of Ukiah. president of the
Pacific Highland railroad, and Colonel
J. b. Fulton manager, have announced
that they have secured the necessary
financial backing to float bonds for the
new road as soon as 100000 stock is
disposed of. The money will be used
for the construction of a standard
gauge electric road from here to Upper
Lake, Lake county. Rights of way are
now being secured.
Another proposed road into Lake
county from here is the Santa Rosa
and Clear Lake railroad. The promot-
ers, all local people, have completed
preliminary surveys and secured por-
tion of the rights of way as well as a
franchise inside of the city limits for
80 inch gauge gasoline motor
power line 1t is argued that such a
line will cost one-half less to construct
than a broad gauge, and the running
expense will be proportionately small
President w. d. Reynolds said to-
day that financiers stood ready to back
the enterprise simply as a tourist road.
1t will open all of the many springs
of Lake county to rail travel, as well
as provide quick transportation to and
from San Francisco. The movement to
secure terminal rates for Santa Rosa,
now under way, will, if successful. add
materially to the advantages of such
lines from this city to Lake county.

II. H. Taylor to Manage Estate

Special letters of administration
authorizing H. H. Taylor to manage and
operate the properties in California be-
longing to the estate of the late d. o.
Mills were granted yesterday by Judge
Graham. Taylor was for 20 years the
manager and confidential adviser of
the capitalist in all business matters
The special administrator will have
control over the California portion of
the estate until an authenticated copy
of the will has been received here from
New York Attorney John F'lournoy,
representing Taylor in his application
for special letters, stated that the will
would be probated in New York and
would not be placed on record here for
five or six weeks.
Taylor was placed under bond of
$4,000 1t was stated in court that
during the term of his special admin
istratorship he probably would have
the handling of some s25.000 or $4,000
The principal asset of the estate re-
curing the care of an administrator
is the Millbrae dairy. The Mills build
ing in Montgomery street is not in
cluded in the estate, having been deed
ed by Mills to ogden Mills and Mrs
Whitelaw Reid.
Various estimates of the value of the
Mills estate made in New York agree
approximately on s60,000,0 900.
Deducting from this the specific be-
quests would leave more than $4,000
600 to be divided between Mrs.$Reid and
Ogden Mills.

EP-SEATED COUGH
CURED IN S HOURS
New Home Made Syrup
(Cut this out)
y u tIIIo OuLJ
From Boston Press

Progress in medical compounds never
ceases, and now ii is stated by a prom
inent medical man that any deep seated
cough or cold on the lungs can be actu-
ally cured in five hours by the clock.
Opium and morphine have been re-
sorted to in the past as relief measures.
But now ii is learned that the system
must be treated TO rid IL of infiamma-
tion and congestion. A tonic laxative
cough syrup does the work so quickly
and thoroughly as to be almost mag
ical. What heretofore has taken weeks
to cure can be accomplished in hours.
Get this formula filled or mix it at
home and always keep it on hand: One
half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one
ounce compound essence cardiol and
three ounces syrup white pine COM
pound. Shake the bottle and take
twenty drops every half hour for four
hours. Then take one-haf to one tea
spoonful three or four times day un-
til the system is purified and tones up.
Give children less according to age
One filling will usually cure a whole
family. as the dose is small.

SIBERIA FR[IGHT[D
WITH OPIUM Tins

AS the work of searching the Pacific
Mail liner Siberia proceeds the wonder
grows that all on board were not sent
to dreamland during the voyage across
the Pacific by the fumes of the opium
which is turning up in all sorts of un-
expected places. Another hundred five
tael tins of the poppy product were
found yesterday. Some of it was found
in places that previous search had
shown to be empty. The most pictur-
esuue find yesterday was rough paint
streaked log that Inspector Enlow dis
covered had been followed out. From
the cavity he extracted 20 tins Of
opium.
Inspector Sackett discovered in all
about SO tins. part of which had been
built into the bu1khead along which
the sailors berths ranged in the steer
age Inspector Head found a score of
tins neatly packed in the cogs of Fhe
steering gear.
POSSIBLE CLEw SUPPLIED

opium on the Siberia has puzzled the
customs authorities Every ship that

never before has so much opium been
found scattered in SO many parts of the

REASON FOR ITS POPULARITY
Handsome and Convenient Mattress
Pincushion Never Seems to
Lose Its Favor.

Whatever style of pincushion comes
or goes with the passing hour. the
mattress form seems to be perennial
The reason of this is not hard to
guess when one has ever been owned.
Whether on ones dressing table or in
travelling nothing quite takes its
place for convenience as well as good
looks.
This style of cushion may be made
in all sizes, from those ten inches
long by eight inches wide. in which
can be stuck safety pins of all kinds,
as we'll as a full assortment of ordi
nary pins. to the tiny ones four inches
long by two and half inches wide
so convenient to keep In travelling
bag ready stocked.
The amount of material needed for
such a cushion is easily gagged. Buy
ribbon the exact width of the cushion
to be made and twice the length, with
enough over to turn in narrow
seam at each end There should also
be enough inch-wide ribbon, the same
shade, to go around the four sides. II

this ribbon TO sew to one end as Z

HAVE CHARM OF SIMPLICITY
Evening Frocks, Although Elaborate
and Expensive, All Made to
Convey This Suggestion.

1t is a relief to find that among the
new evening frocks there is a sugges-
ton of simplicity. OF course. tie ele-
gance of the elaborate embroideries
and combinations OF materials is
tempting, but invariably expensive,
and therefore beyond the reach OF
those who must consider the question
of ways and means.
Soft satin seems to be an ideal ma
terial for simple evening gowns. One
beautifully designed model relies al
most entirely upon folds to gain a
charming effect. The bodice is, OF
course, low-necked. but it is pointed
In cut, this shape being secured by
the crossed folds.
The sleeves are Of draped folds Of
silk. Just to relieve any emphasis or
this idea, wide bretelles OF satin
braided with narrow soutache in q
large. effective design. pass from the
irregular waist line over the shoul
ders. The waist line is secured by 8
pointed skirt line at the top. which
is ornamented with a running design
of braid, and gives just the right
amount of decoration for this frock.
Simplicity is certainly a safe side
on which to err. There is always {
quiet satisfaction in the recognition
that a simple gown worn with grace
and IAN air" is appropriate on AM
occasion. whereas Recommendation
frequently means discomfort on tn,
part OF the wearer.

USES FOR THE DARNlNG EGG
Well Described as Household Friend
Many Ways in Which II Can
BE Employed.

A darning egg may be household
friend, at least to the mending mem
bers of the household.
Darns in sleeves can be much more
neatly repaired If the break Is
stretched over small black darning
egg.
The egg can likewise be slipped In
to trouser pockets that have torn and
make their mending much simpler. A
torn place in the crown Of hat or in
a portion of the trimming can also
be repaired quickly by using a darn
ing egg.
When the darning egg cannot be
found for mending purposes the break
can be stretched over the top of a
small egg cup. Thus held taut it can
be neatly darned. This is particularly
good for holes in lace. which must be
repaired by working as nearly as may
be in the mesh stitches.
