the Northwestern Pacific railroad will
install suburban service into the San

Will extend the range of the commuter
into a most attractive district and the
opening of the region by fast and

will celebrate the event today. A
holiday spirit will reign at Fairfax

A delegation OF Fairfax citizens will

y The Inauguration OF this service by

tivities of the Lagunitas Development

tract.
The activities that have been evil
denced in Woodacre during the last
three months won the admiration and
confidence of the railroad officials to
the extent that they decided to put on

EARNEST EFFORTS
Complicated Bookkeeping Is
Said to Be Reason for the

OAKLAND. Aug. efforts will be
made next week by Mayor Mott to in
) duce the officia1s OF the San Francisco
Oakland Terminal railways to apply
for franchise under the provisions OF
the new city charter for the short block
OF track in the extension OF Washing

San Pablo avenue lines with the Wash

The need of relieving the present
congestion Of traffic in Broadway Is
declared by the mayor to be an urgent
one. With the connecting link. the
company would operate the Grove and
San Pablo avenue lines via Washin gton
street
The corporation has heretofore de-
clined to apply for the franchise. The
charter requires that franchises must
be for period OF 35 years, and that
the railroad must pay the city per
cent Of the gross receipts for the first
flve years, per cent for the next 10
years and per cent for the remain
Ing 20.
To compute the amount due on this
one short block OF track would require
such complicated system Of bookkeep-
ing, claim the traction officials, that the
cost would far exceed the receipts.
If the corporation remains firm in its
refusal to apply for a franchise the city
will probably construct the railroad and
lease 1t, In which event 1t will be the
shortest municipal railroad in existence.

Especial Dispatch to The Cain


WAWONA, Aug 2.-Automobilists
are finding the road into the Mari
posa grove of big trees unusually good
for this time of the year and motor
travellers in and out of the Yosemite
valley, as well as the stage tourists,
are making the Wawona hotel a CEN
ter for their excursions among the
giant sequoias.
The weather has almost the mel
lowness of Indian summer inNthe Sier-
ras and many of the persons who had
planned short stays in the shadows
of the ancient and stately redwoods are
prolonging their vacations at Wawona
to enjoy the sublimity of the forest.
The Yosemite tourist is coming to
realize more keenly every year that
he must not neglect the opportunity
while In the vicinity of the Mariposa
grove to visit these trees which are
reckoneds by scientists as the Oldest
living growth in the world. That they
flourished before the Christian era Is
recognized and recently savants have
declared that the trees in the Mari
posa grove bear In their rings the in
delible record OF the plaques of famine
and drought that brought desolation
to the world and have passed into the
imperishable chronicles OF the bible.
This verifcation OF biblical history by
the trees is found in the fainter trac-
ings of tho rings during the period
when drought afI1icted the earth, and
scientists hold that the trees furnish
proof that the famine was not confined
to the biblical region, but covered the
sentire globe.
Aside from their scientific import
ance, the sequoias OF the Wawona dis
trict form the most wonderful grove
with their tremendous reaches into the
clouds and their splendid dimensions.
The hotef at Wawona is modern In
all respects 1t affords every comfort
to the traveller, whether he comes by
stage or motor car, and the influx of
society folk into the grove has given
Wawona an atmosphere of pleasure
that is not surpassed by any Sierra
resort.

NEWBERRY MINISTER
SPEAKS IN COLUMBIA
Criticised Compulsory Use of Bible
in SchOOls-DiscusSes Proposed
Law.

The Rev. E. Pendleton Jones, D.
D., pastor of the First Baptist church
of Newberry, when addressing a
large congregation at the First Bap-
tist church in Columbia last night,
made vigorous denunciation of the
movement which he said of late has
gained some strength and encourage
ment throughout the country to COM
pei the use of the Bible as text
book in the public schools. The min
lister declared the movement bad be-
cause, he said, the United States was
founded upon the principle of a sep
arate church and State, and for the
"better reason that the kingdom OF
God is one of love and not COM
pulsion.'' He deplored the fact that
law to this end had been introduced
during the recent session of the
Georgia legislature, and "that many
people had been deceived because the
movement had the apparent purpose
OF good"
81 believe in an open book and a
free mind, and I warn you against it
as 5eirg one of the most dangerous
movements of the tines said the
speaker.
The reference to the law was only
incidental to an eloquent discourse on
''The, Kingdom of Cod in which
"love, free and abundant love" was
set up as zone of the laws of the
kingdom" The other laws that make
the kingdom are the law of service
and the law of sacrifice, the speaker
said.
Mr.. Jones made strong plea for
Service, sacrifice and love, which
would admit of no compulsion and
thar would need none, and for BIZ
bic read and taught by Christians
who love the book for the books
sake"
