SOLANO GOES ON
STATE MAP TODAY
New City Has Large List
of Property Owners of
Standing

/. CALIFORNIA; latest city, Soiano, goes
on the map today with a larger list of
property owners than any new city
ever began. Those who have doubted
the reports of. the last few days re-
garding the magnitude of the advance
demand are to be silenced Tuesday,
when A. J.. Rich & Co. publish a list of
included the names of prominent San
Francisco business men and capitalists
who have put their money behind their
faith in the future of the place, and
they are men who are not in the habit
OF buying real estate unless conditions
guarantee the soundness OF such in
vestments.
Solano enters the directory of Cali
fornia municipalities with the backing
OF corporation that is developing
s20,000.000 worth of agricultural lands
and passing them on to hundreds of
settlers for intensive cultivation. The
Solano Irrigated Farms company Is
guaranteeing the wealth of those lands
with what is said to be the most COM
plete irrigation system in America
water supply that will never fail
This company selected the site of
a commercial and shipping center for
the Solano lands and the great Sacra-
mento valley beyond. A deep water
canal was dredged to the place to pro-
vide water transportation to the bay:
a new electric line (the Oakland An
tioch and Eastern) begins Its service
with today's excursion; another line,
the Sacramento Valley electric, will
have Solano as it's terminus and will
draw to the inland seaport the bulk of
the freight traffic of the Sacramento
valley.
And Solano has one other advantage:
1t was laid out by an expert in city
plating for population of $4,000. and
on lines of beauty and convenience that
when fulfilled will make 1t one of the
most beautiful In America.
That these provisions for future
greatness have not escaped the eyes of
investors is proved by a demand. in
advance of the sale. that insures the
purchase OF $150.000 worth OF lots on
the opening day, and the beginning Of
ten business structures within the next
month.
Excursions today will be run over
both the Oakland and Antioch and the
Southern Pacific, the latter taking the
passengers to Suisun, from whence au-
tomobiles with capacity of 450 will
carry them to the town site.

portant feature connected with a stu
dents career is that he enters college
a boy and leaves 1t a man. Educators
realize that age must be recognized as
factor In education. The methods of
instruction must be different for stu
dents at 10 than they are for those
at Is.
600 RECEIVING INSTRUCTION
Less than 500 young men in Califor-
MIA are now receiving instruction In
agriculture at the state university. and
yet, unless the ranches of California
are to be abandoned or are to be culti-
waited by foreigners. there are In Cali
fornia more than 5000 young men be-
tween the ages of 1S and II who some
day will occupy the land. 1t is inevi-
table that considerable proportion of
these will seek instruction at the uni
versity. Plans must be made to take
care OF them. An agricultural high
school is being conducted at Davis on
the state farm. where students of uni
versity age who do not have the re-
quirements for admission to college are
given a three years course. When
the number of students that can be
accommodated at Davis is reached 1t
is planned to establish a new unit at
Fresno
Agriculture is to be introduced also
in the high schools, but emphasis is
placed on the fact that high school
students should sleep at home. as boys
aud girls between the ages of 15 and
1SN need their parents, "and equally
important, perhaps, the parents need
the children But the real need, as
Doctor Wheeler remarks, is instruction
for young farmers who have passed the
age when they could prepare for col
1ege, such in fact as Is given at Davis
This. says Doctor Wheeler, was what
the farmers wanted when agricultural
education was first attempted. "only
we did not fully understand Them
He adds that what we saw once as in
glass darkly we are now coming to
see clearly
We have with all this variety of
equipment and location the opportunity
to develop in California the completest
and richest system OF agricultural
education and research that the world
has ever seem We have made our be-
ginning. We have the place for 1t. and
the sky for it. and the heart for It.
We will prove It to the people OF Cali
fornia well worth while ana they will
support us"

McFARLAND-BRITTON
 FIGHT LOOKS GOOD
@T S. Andrews.N

What should prove one of the best cards in the middle west will be held at the big Auditorium building in Mil waukee, Dec g. when the Queens berry A. C. stages the Packey McFar- iand-Jack Britton contest of 10 rounds. These boys have met twice before and there are still arguments going on between the managers and fans as to who is the better man of the two. The average fan will tell you that Packey is in a class by him self, but after talking five minutes to Dan Morgan, manager of Britton, you will be convinced that Jack is the best that ever happened. The boys are to meet at catch weights, but the difference in poundage between them will not be nearly so great as many may imagine. Britton likes 135 him. self about well as Mcfarland, and the fact that he has been meeting welter weights around the east of late would indicate that he, too, can scale well above the light weight linn It. He will doubtless go into the con test at about 13S, while Packey will scale a pound or possibly two pounds more It should be a high class con- test, for there is little about the game the boys do not know, and as the Chi eago stockyards boy is a past master at the scientific part of the sport, it will force Britton to use all his best efforts to outpoint GOT hold Packey even- The same show will bring three other boxers into the HmeIight-Jack Doyle, whom Packey Mcfarland says Is the coming feather weight cham pion, Peanuts Schieberl, the former Rock Island lad who has been beating numerous feathers, and Freddy Cou- lure, formerly of the Pacific coast, who has fought the best 118 to 122 pounders in that part of the country. Jimmy Duffy, the star Buffalo light weight, who is chasing Willie Ritchie for a match, also wants to meet the winner of the McFarland-B -Britton match at 135 pounds, so there may be more fur flying between the stars be- fore the winter is over.
