SAN FRANCISCO special: At meet
ing of the San Francisco Wine Dealers
Association, held in this city, to con-
slider the pertinent clause of the Will
son tariff bill, it was shown how an nd
valorem duty of 100 per cont. on for
eign wines carried out as proposed in
the bill would yield no more than
SAC, 600 revenue, while operating to
destroy an industry involving S5O.OOO,-
COO. 1t was decided to advise Califor-
MAS Representatives and Senators to
take action in having eliminated from
the bill the provision limiting duty on
wines to 100 per cent. of its declared
value, and permitting the use of sugar
and alcohol spirits in the manufacture
of sweet wines. 1t was also resolved
that Frank Jacobs of New York. be
authorized to represent tho Wine
Dealers Association in Washington.
Copies of the resolutions were tele-
graphed to all California and WASH
ington Representatives.
ASHLAND, Wis, special: Thirty
citizens of Ashland made application
ut the land Office for Omaha lands.
The officials are kept busy by steady
stream, and before night several hun
dred applications will probably have
been registered. A prominent attorney
said: The Supreme Court is beyond
the Secretary of the Interior, Com
missioners and Register of Land Office.
All the settlers will ultimately be
brought before it. 1t has given the
Omaha road black eye, and if the
whole situation comes before it again |
see no reason why it won't repeat the
action. believe this million acres of
the Omaha grant will be opened to
settlement.
