BERKELEY, Aug. 2. — Thomas Gil
bert, an employe of the State Univer

the summer school by deelaring'his be
lief that toadstools are not poisonous,
an* that he Is ready to eat any variety
Of mushroom or toadstool that is
brought to him to demonstrate that he
is right.
Gilbert is caretaker of the botany
building on the campus. He has been
interested in the study of plant life in a
dilettante way for many years, and it
has long been his conviction that the
prejudice which many persons entertain
against the so-called toadstool is merely
a superstitious fear. All toadstools or
mushrooms look alike to Gilbert and he
is prepared to show his faith by his
works.

COLMA', Aug-. 2. — The authorities of
Son Mateo County have decided that
drastic measures are necessary to abatfl
the general nuisance created by tho
hog: ranches which are maintained. here,
to the discredit and discomfort of the
people of the entire northern end of
the county. -\ personal inspection by
the District Attorney and the Health
Officer of San Matco hr.s .convinced thesu
officials that ihe obnoxious ranches
must be suppressed.
The Board of Supervisors, it is sug
gested, may permit Colma to create a
sanitary district within which it will
have exclusive jurisdiction over affairs
of health ami sanitation. If this dis
trict be created by a decision of tho
residents of Colma- the objectionable
ranches .will hrtve to" move to a leas
thickly populated part, of the country.
If such a sanitary district is not cre
ated the Supervisors will take the mat
ter into teMr own hands and define th«j

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Aug. 2.—
The work of renovating Encina Hall,
the dormitory for young men, was com
pleted to-day. The renovating has been
extensive. A squad of between thirty
and forty workmen has been engaged
in the work for the* last six weeks.
Except for a few minor details, the
dormitory is again ready for active
service and will be opened shortly.
The most important of the improve
ments is the complete resviringr- and ad
justment of the electric lights through
out- the structure. The painters have
also worked extensive changes.
In all the rooms the walls and cell
ings have been kalsomined and paint
ed. All woodwork has-been retouched
and oiled. The furniture- came in for
its share of attention, every piece be
ing revarnlshed and repaired where
necessary: The floors of many rooms
and corridors showed signs of wear.
These piaces were replaced by new ma
terial. • The plumbing has been ex
amined and put in order.
The regulations governing the rent-
Ing of rooms "in Encina Hall have been
slightly modified. Students hereafter
wishing to engage a room do so with
the understanding that, they will.- re
main in the dormitory at least one
semester. This regulation was found
advisable because of the constant com
ing and going of students ."In past
years. . \u25a0
SAN MATEO. Aug. 2.— Ambitious pro^'
moters are operating here for the crea
tlon of a new summer resort, which it Is
expected will meet the Immediate ap
proval of : public ' fancy: .The necessary
capital is In sight and only the details
need discussion. The plan as outlined is
to build an .electric railroad . from either
This city or from Burlingame station to ,
the San Mateo beach. Such a road would
give easy and rapid transit to the people
of f San Francisco as well as to those erf
the various towns of San Mateo County. -
An assurance i 3 given that transfer
connections and probably other conces
sion's may bo received from tho United
Railroads.: the company which will be di
rectly benefited by the new enterprise. '.
"When, this proposed road is constructed
it will solve the problem which haa. lonjj
prevented the building of a. resort on the
San Mafeo beach. This beach la admir
ably fitted for such a. purpose, aa the fa
cilities for bathing are splendid and the
climate is ' unsurpassed on the- peninsula. !
H. "W". \Hasen " and Charles.- F. Roedel -
have the matter In hand, and they have
every confidence that success will crown-,
their efforts. . Two routes for the pro
posed road are under consideration. .One
will start from Burlingame and tho other
will go out Poplar avenue • In ' this city. \u25a0
Either Is considered a suitable one for. *
