 The seven little pleasure seekers froze on the dock at Thane until 2:30 a. m., then took a car back to Juneau and put up at the Gastineau for the balance of the night when they returned home having had moro than the worth of their money. The things they said about the ferryman wouldn't do to be printed.

SP0R I 5

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, May 2 -- More than a thousand mon and wo- men took the trail early today from colmn file up the slopes of Tama lpais. Marion County's famous noun tain. The occasion was the annual meeting of the Tamalpais ConsecSa- ton Club, organized six years ago to act in conjunction with municipal water companies to maintain in the mountain a public park for the people of the bay cities.
 The meeting was held at the site of the ladge to be erected at Rattle snake Camp, little way beyond West Point Fred R. Parker was elected president for the coming year, and R. F. ORourke, vice-presi- dent. The men standing bareheaded, the woman's bright costumes splash. ing with color the green of the noun tain, the hikers made the canyons reverberate to their singing of The Star Spangled Banner.
 Addresses were made descriptive of the formation of the club to pre- serve the mountain to the "Hiker,' when carelessness and thoughtless- ness had almost caused the closing of the trails by water companies. The hikers have been taught sanita- ton, the disposal of luncheon rub bish, and fire precautiOn. For two years there has been no fire in the iense manzanita brush or in the un- dergrowth of the redwood forests
 Trails have been built along slopes, and the 2,600-foot peak made easily accessible by a dozen routes. Here. on a clear day, one can see wonder ful panorama. Far out to sea, the Farallone Islands stand sentinels oy- er the Western rim of the continent, with ocean liners appearing small in the distance. Close by the noun tain's base lies Mill Valley, San Raf ael and other towns; twenty miles away are San Francisco, Oakland Berekeley and Alameda, and far off the snowy Sierra nebuleaus and ghostly.
 Participating in today's meeting the Sierra Club, with a membership of 1851, with headquarters in San Francisco and Los Angeles; the Cal ifornia Alpine Club, with $50 mem bers; the Alpine Camera Club, with 300 enthusiasts, and many smaller organizations. Some of these clubs have trips scheduled for every Sun day in the year, the majority of them on Tamapaih steep sides. The wo men are as eager as the men to en joy the rainy days of Winter months The walks are from twelve to twenty miles long.
 Like John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club and for twenty-two years it's president until his death in 1914 the Tamalpais deyotees believe: "TC Climb mountains and get their good tidings. Natures pease will flow into you as sunshine into trees. The Winds will blow their own freshness finto you. and the storms their ener gy. while cares will drop off like Autumn leaves"

OUR BANK SAVINGS SAFE
UNLESS GERMANY WINS

There seems to have been very in
sidious propaganda carried on, obvl-
ously by secret agents of Germany, to
the effect that savings banks deposits
are to be confscated. 1t is difficult
to believe that any person in America
would credit such a report for an in
slant. Secretary McAdoo says that
the absurdity of these statements is
manifest, but in order to allay the
fears of few who might be alarmed
by such reports, he repeats officially
that these rumors are wholly base
less.
There is but one thing that will in
the least put in danger of confiscation
the savings of the American people
whether deposited in savings banks
or other banks or invested in Liberty
Bonds or any other investments, and
that one thing Is a German victory
| 1t is not the American government
that our people should fear, but the
German government, and with the
American soldiers fighting as they arr
il France and the American people
supporting their government as they
are in America. the American people
their liberty, their rights, and theil
savings are safe.
The United States instead of confis
eating or endangering the savings anC
other property of its people is de-
Tending them and theirs with all thu
irresistible might Of this invinciblt
Republic.
