A WOMAN residing in East Hele-
N ma, Mrs. Amelia Neville, has re-
A Gently presented to the Ban
croft Library of the University of
California, a valuable historical docu-
ment. 1t is a letter written by her
father, Col. Leander Ransome, telling
Of his work as an engineer in estab-
fishing the base line and meridian Of
the Eastbay landmark. BY reason Of
this work on Mt. Diablo, Col. Ran
some was elected, in 1853 a charter
member of the California Academy
of Sciences, and in 1856 became it's
president, holding the office for
eleven terms.
1t was in the summer of 1851 that the
United States surveyor general ordered the
survey to be made selecting Col. RanSOme
for the superintendent of the work. The
letter gives an account of the difficulties
encountered in the undertaking. The gold
fever was at it's height, and the men who
came to California did not wish to simply
earn the yellow metal when it could be dug
from the ground. Col. RansOme's surveying
crew had to be engaged at almost prohibit
tive wages. Then there was lack Of water.
The letter says, The scarcity of water
during this, the dry season, was a draw:
back to our operations. We often Travelled
for miles without meeting with it, and as
a consequence we had either to pack OF
cart it for four or five miles for drinking
or cooking purposes, or place our camp
at a considerable and incOnvenient distance
from our work"

DR.. Thwing, president Of Western Reserve

that from 1910 to 1920 they more thar
doubled, and then gives the reason for
this.
In the first place there are today many
more pupils than there were q few years
ago and their number is constantly in
creasing. These require additional teachers,
calling for a larger outlay. There has been
a considerable enlargement OF the study
course, so that in our public schools prob
ably more is taught than was furnished
by the college curriculum a hundred years
ago. More expensive buildings are erected,
and larger salaries paid for educational
supervision. There are also pensions foT
teachers "and general lifting of the whole

Quaker Oats

THE price you pay Tor substitutes
i is the same as for the genuine
Quaker Oats. The difference is in
the flavor. And flavor, above all
things, is important in oats.
That rich and toasty Quaker flavor
is the result of some so years milling
experience. Once you taste it, you are
spoiled for ordinary oats.
That is why millions demand the
Quaker brand-why you should ac-
cept no other.
Quaker milling, too, retains much of
the bulk of oats. And that makes
1axatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and
"bulk' are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an exceIlently "bal-
anced" food.
