like an Impossibllit but San Frau

For years line known as the
crookedest railroad In the world

the summit became more popular
than the train ride. Trails were
built, hiking clubs were organized
and finally this year the Tamalpias

FRUIT GROWER DIGS HOTEL WITH SHOVEL
An automobile road aided the
hikers, of course, in making the op
eration of a railroad unprofitable. It
Is a fact, however, that the railroad
and auto road got along very well
together (or several years until the
hiking crane started.
There are four trails to the peak
of amalptas and every Sunday bun
ured of hikers are trudging over
them while the auto road, at which
tolls are collected ,does not do a
rushing business.
It Is approximately 30 miles from
the bay to the top ol the mountain.
Hikers from San. Francisco take an
electric train to Mill Valley and then
hike the 10 miles. If the short route
Is selected up the iOOl feet.
Hundreds of hikers go only to
' Muir woods, or to other favored re
treats but lately it has become a sort
of badge ot honor to make the climb
all the way up.
No particular class dominates in
the hiking throngs as over the same
trail, panting and sweltering over
the rocks will be found day tabor
era, shop girls, school teachers and
bankers.
The only division Is In the class of
hiker speed or pleasure. The speed
sters, garbed in running suits, seek
to establish records while the others
are content to devote the day to the
climb, seeking only the Joy that
comes from exercise in the fresh '
air.

BENNETT'S RISE
TO HIGH PLACE
HARD STRUGGLE
Toronto (Pi All the way from
a country boy to a man of millions
climbed R. B. Bennett, who has led
Canadian conservatives to victory
and thus will be the dominion's next
premier.
He was born 60 years ago In a
little New Brunswick villase
Hopewell Hill but it was western
Canada that made him.
Bennett's father died when the
boy was In public school, but be
continued his studies and a,t 17 was
a teacher.
A year later he turned to law
and the law led him westward to
Calgary, where a new empire was
stirring.
He plunged into the ctvic and
political life ot the town and within
a year was elected to the legisla
tive assembly of the Northwest Ter
ritories. But defeat met ftls first trial in
dominion pontics in 1900. and it
was not until 1911 that he sat in
the house of commons.
Seated ah a conservative, his
opinions didn't always dovetail with
party leaders' plana. But this inde
pendence won respect, and he was
made parllmentary under-secre-tary
of external affairs in 1816. A
year later he returned to his prac
tice. Millions were bequeathed to him
by friends ot his youth. Mrs. Jennie
Eddy, widow ot a pulp and paper
manufacturer, and her brother, but
much of his fortune Is of his own
making.
He was made conservative leader
in 1927. after three successive elec
tions had been lost.
He has few physical diversions,
preferring literature for recreation.
He Is an omnivorous reader.
Bennett never has married. His
sister, Mildred, always has acted
as hostess and is his companion on
most of his travels.

Plnther and Mrs. H. A. Bcauchamps
where refreshments were served on
the beautiful lawn of the latter s

ceeded to the Ooode floral garden
where much time was spent enjoy
ing the flowers and strolling thru
the gardens. About 2S club members
attended the sneetlng and several
visitors among them being Mrs.
Louis Tarkley, Mrs. H. C. Schultz
and Mrs. Cradlebaugh ot the Salem

Pelplng IP The fighting foreign
minister of the governmeni at nu

simple announcement which prob
ably will prove tne ueatn mow
the "Diplomatic Corps" in Pelplng,
an Institution which has existed
since the Boxer uprising, and to a
lesser extent before that time,
nr. Wane merely stated that here
after he will not receive official dee
lorntlnna from the dean of the Dip
lomatic Corps, speaking on behalf
of the entire group of diplomats in
China. Each minister must nere-
after speak for himself aione.
It is not believed uxeiy nere vnai
the Diplomatic Corps will make any
serious protest to this move. For
all practical purposes, the corps has
been non-exlstant for some years,
and ministers of important powers
have not hesitated to address the
Chinese government directly for
some time past.
The "Diplomatic Corps." as it ex
isted in China, had counterparts
only In more backward countries.
Dr. Wang objects to the practice
because it reflects discredit upon
the government he represents. His
announcement is daring only be
cause it Is made at a time when
China is divided into several camps,
at war with each other, and when
Communists control lage areas
south of the Yangtze, murdering
and pillaging towns and villages
without interference from the government.
