BERKELEY, Aug. 17.—The following week Is distinctly freshman week at the | University of (California. The entering freshmen are registered on Monday and | gather to hear the speech of welcome and advice from the president, and the advice of their deans. With that their college careers commence. On Monday night a general rally of the whole coliege will be held in the gymna- sium to welcome the baby class, at which speeches will be indulged in by members of ‘the faculty, football men and under- graduates. On Tuesday the ladles of the LY. W. C. A. will give a formal reception ;g ltlhe freshmen in the parlors of Stiles all. But the rising vanity of the young col- legians will receive its first check on ‘Wednesday, when the first line up for drill is slated to come off. The occasion is always eagerly embraced by the col- lege “‘joshers” to make the fresnmen mis- erable, and usually ushers in the annual serles of hoaxes which are perpetrated on the innocent youngsters, If there is any of the old spirit of rush- ing in the newcomers, which has been ta- booed by the faculty, it will appear on Friday, when the classes are organized for the first time. This is usually a day of suspense for the college authorities, and broken glass and flooded class-rooms have marked the day in the past. The following is the official programme for the week: Morlday—Instruction for freshmen _begins. Admission cards issued to intrants. Harmon Gymnasium, 8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m.

Smith his brother, Henry Smith, | spends too much time behind prison | doors to be the guardian of the estates and persons of Agnes and Anna Smith, two minar sisters.

Name Committees to Secure Rights of Way and Depot Site. i LIVERMORE, Aug. 17.—Residents ot this town. and valley and of Tesla are enthusiastically assisting in the movement to guarantee the projecters of a proposed new competing railroad rights of way. One committee of citizens has been named to interview property owners along the line of a local survey for the prospective road and another committee is at work solciting funds for the purpose of pur< chasing a_depot site in Livermore. Two meetings have been held this week —one in the town hall and the other in Independent Hal. G. W. Langan ofti- clated a# chaifman of ‘the first meeting and DY J. Murphy acted as secretary. K. P. Vandercook, who has been purchasing rights of way in Oakland and vicinity for the projected rallroad assured the assem- blage that the -undertaking was a bona- flde one in every way; that the capitalists behind the road were not connected with any corporation now interested in Califor- nia ana that the plan was to build a transcontinental line. Vandercook stated while surveys been made through the San Ramon and Tassajara valleys and rights of way had been se- cured for most of the distance, he be- lleved the company would consider and act favorably upon a liberal offer from the residents of Livermore Valley for the reason that this territory would afford a larger shipping patronage to the new road, being more populous than the val- leys through which the other surveys run. James Treadwell, manager of the Tesla coal mines, said that his company was desirous of having the new line pass through Tesla and that the company was ., ready to donate all rights of way over its land anfl also to co-operate with Live! moreans in offering the railroad people inducements to build the road lhmufih Livermore Valley. James Concannon, G. W. Langan, G. E. Kennedy, James Tread- well and _John Galway were selected as a committee to confer with the proi y owners on the route from here to Tesla. As a committee to sollcit and select a site for a local dg}ot W. H. Wright, T. E. Knox, W. W. Mendenhall, John Ryan and G. E. Kennedy were named. —_— CELEBRATES - TENTH YEAR OF FOUNDING The North Berkeley Congregatiomal Church Has Service of Song and Praise. BERKELEY, Aug.
