Moore, chairman of the board, defended the system contending that it was necessary for apprentices to start at the bottom land learn the rudiments of their trade as well as the actual carpentry work.

Hereafter when suggestions ire made that seem queer and unheard of, the Soquel-Capitola chamber of commerce will probably lend a kindly ear.

So is the opinion of J. C. Foss, a director from the Mountain district. Foss said that at one time former U. S.

Senator William Gibbs McAdoo proposed Soquel creek as a "navigable stream," with other streams iu this part of the state. Soquel and Capitola folks got a big laugh out of the idea and denied such a thing. It was claimed that even fish had trouble to get upstream. If Soque! creek had been approved as a "navigable stream," it would be eligible for flood control or other work under the auspices of the U. S.

One of the homes In which Bret Harte resided during his illustrious career in California was destroyed by fire recently.

The old home was located at Areata, California! and was one of the oldest structures in that community, having been built about 85 years ago. Harte came to Areata, then Vniou, where he worked on weekly newspaper known as the Californian. While there he met many mill- 1 ers and old characters who appeared in many of his stories. The author's hasty exodus from Areata was caused by an Indian massacre, an event which condemned vehemently. When it was found that he was in danger of being lynched, Harte's employer advised him to leave.

Harte then went to San Francisco, and from that point his fame became widespread. When ail of this took place, Harte was an unmarried young man, yet had to occupy Santa a in "Honeymoon Coltage."
