THE FARM.
TO CAN TOMATOES.

Let them be entirely fresh. Put
scalding water over them to aid in
removing the skins. When the
cans with their covers and sealing
strings are in readiness upon the
table, the teakettle is full of boil
ing water and the tomatoes are all
skinned, we are ready to begin the
canning. Put enough tomatoes in
a porcelain preserving kettle to fill
four cans, add no water, Let them
come to the boiling point, or let
them all be well scalded through.
Fill the cans with hot water first,
then with the hot tomatoes, wipe
off moisture from tops with soft
cloth and press the covers on tight
ly; then place sealing strings in
gruve around top of can made to
receive it! the heat of the fruit will
melt the wax and your fruit is
ready for the storing room. There
will be juice left after the tomatoes
are canned. Season this and boil
it down for catchup.
STRING BEANS
Next to tomatoes the vegetable
easiest to can is the string bean.
Remove the tough strings at the
sides and break the bean into two
or three pieces. When ready throw
them into boiling water for 10
minutes and can like tomatoes.
CANNED WATERMELON
Cut rind of ripe melons into
small pieces 3 inches long, first cut
ing off all green; boil till tender
enough to pierce with a fork.
Have syrup made of white sugar,
by allowing IL lb sugar to | lb
fruit. Skim out melon and place
in syrup with few pieces of race
ginger; put in can and seal hot
after letting it cook few moments.
KEEP AHEAD OF THE WEEDS.
There is only one economical
way to fight weeds,-that is to
keep ahead of them. When they
are just breaking through ground
they can be slaughtered with less
labor than at any time. That is
the time to take them in hand. A
little later and the work will be
doubled. Too many overlook this
fact. In many towns five per cent
off is allowed on all taxes paid be-
fore certain date, and men hustle
to pay their tax and save that five
per cent. A much larger per cent
off is secured by the man who takes
the weeds in season. One can go
over a garden with an iron rake
when the weeds are just breaking
the ground, and in an hours time
accomplish wonders. A week later
he will have to take his hoe and
laboriously cut, cut, cut. And
even then he dosen't destroy half
as many of the roots Of weeds as
he would have done week before
with the rake. Neglecting the
weeds is something one simply
cannot afford.

INSURANCE men ANXIOUS.
Outcome of the Rate War
Feared by Many Local
Managers.
The Fight In Rates Was Never More
Bitter Outside of San Fran
cisco.

Conjecture is rife among insurance men
on California, Sansome and Montgomery
streets as to what the outcome of the con-
tinued warfare in rates may be. Quite a
large number of local managers are accept
ing the situation with unpleasant fore
bodings and feel inclined to believe that
next January will see ruthless thinning
out OF their ranks.
On the street yesterday various rumors
about pending changes were afoat, but in
the case of three companies, which it was
said had made arrangements to retire
from the coast, the rumor was positively
denied by the local representatives.
Interest centered most of all about
Dickson, who will soon leave San Fran
cisco. For several years he was Pacific
Coast manager of the ROYAL Exchange,
Connecticut and the Queen companies,
but has been taken by the Royal Exchange
to be it's United States manager, with head
quarters in New Y ork.
Mr.. Dickson will be a loss to this COM
munity, for in various ways he has taken
quite an active part in passing affairs. He
has been trustee of the Presbyterian
seminary at San Anselmo, a leading deacon
of DR.. Mackenzie's church on Van Ness
avenue and Sacramento street, and was
one of the men who fathered the Christian
Union Bureau for Unemployed in the
Biiou Theater on Market street. Long ago
he was the principal man of Ross IL Co.,

The work of constructing the racetrack

rapidly, and the scene which the new home
of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club now pre-
sents is one of energy and activity. The
buildings are being constructed at record
breaking pace. while the grading OF the

ceivable purpose is about as near perfect in
location and apportionment as one could
desire. A magnificent view is to be had
from any part OF it of the ocean and the
whole of the grounds of the track in-
closure.
In arrangement it will lack nothing
which taste could suggest and will equal, if,
indeed, 1T should not surpass, the most
freQuented racecourse structures OF the
kind in America. There is a promenade

A large general dining room Is also pro-
vided, as well as ladies' parlors. lunch
rooms, committee-rooms and every other
possible convenience.
There are now $50 men working on the
buildings, and there can be no doubt but
that the whole work of construction will
be fully completed by the time announced
for the tapping OF the bell announcing
that the first races of the club are on.
Fully an equal number of men are engaged
in the work of grading and otherwise pre-
pairing the grounds according to the plans
of the club
The racing paddock, which is next to
the grand stand, is well under way and
will soon be completed. Some fifteen of
the racing stables are completed and as
many more are to be constructed at the
rate of one day until that work is finished.
A. L. and G.. B. Campbell have the work
OF constructing the building in charge. G..

HUNTINGTON AT OGDEN.
All Sorts of Railway Gossip - New
Hotel to Be Built at
Tahoe.

H. E. Huntington has gone to Ogden to
meet his uncle, c.. P. Huntington. The
latter arrived at Ogden about P. NJ. yes
terday. Not much is definitely known at
Southern Pacific headquarters about the
journey of the company's president this
side of Ogden. East of that point his
special car was attached to the regular
Union Pacific overland, but after leaving
Ogden the assumption is that the party
will come this way on q special train. If
they come through in the usual time they
will arrive here about Saturday noon. A
director of the company said yesterday
that it was Mr.. Huntington's intention to
travel over the Central Pacific only by day.
and if this happens he will not arrive here
until late Sunday.
There are all sorts of gossip going around
about what is to happen when Mr.. Hunt
ington gets here, but little of 1t can be

build. They will be placed at the further
side of the track Enclosure from the grand
stand and just back of the racing stables.
They will be used by the jockeys, stable
men and track employees generally.
1.-The stables contain from twenty-five to
forty large box-stalls each, and will be sup
piled with every convenience known in
that line.
''You will observe that the Enclosure is
fenced some on the north portion, and
that line is being pushed to completion,
which will be reached in but few days at
most. You can notice how rapidly the
fill at the western turn of the track is
being made. 1t is now well-nigh COM
pleted, nothing of any particular nom ent
to be done, save to finish and trim down
the work already done.
Adolph Spreckels expressed himself as
being highly gratified with the progress
being made in the work at the racecourse.
You may assure the public, he said.

il is his intention to spend the intervening
months pleasure hunting. Sir Audley
Coote is advisory counsel of the Societe
Franchise de Telegraphie, an English and
French company that is now laying ca
bic, which it is proposed TO run from
Queensland to Monterey Bay, this State,
What has already been accomplished, as
well as the future work of the company, is
told in the following interview accorded a

by 4noneyed men of America and Germany.

Interests and workings. The company has
already laid 1000 miles of cable line between
Bun derburg, Queensland and Conan in New
Caledonia. II Is our purpose 10 build from the
last-named point to Fiji, thence to Samoa,
Honolulu and to Monterey Bay. In addition
TO this we have sent an agent 10 Japan with
view OF securing favorable concessions toward
having e cable from Honolulu 10 the Nikado's
realm, by way of the Midway Island. We are
also negotiating for q line from samoa to
Tahiti.
The Hawaiian Government has readily con-
coded every point asked by our company, so
The object OF my visit 10 America is to place
before Congress the Importance OF the pro-
jected line, and to ask their aid and cO-opera-
ton. II is not subsidy we want, but simple
guarantee OF interest. For instance II 1t cost
the company 81 100000 TO place the cable in
operation, and il requires $4,000 to pay the
interest on this, we want Congress to guar
antee just that much and no more, If the
company should earn $4,000 over and above
its running expenses, then the American Gov
eminent would only be called upon to pay
$1,000. OF course these are merely illustrative
figures, for we are undetermined as yet what
amount of interest We shall ask Congress 10
guarantee. This is in no sense subsidy, and
there is consequently no reason why your
Congress should oppose such measure.
1t may be of interest 10 relate that while we
were LAYING the cable between Bunderburg and
Conan, we discovered some 500 miles out
range Of submarine mountains, whose topmost
peak was some 1853 fathoms beneath the
oceans surface 1t was also found that they
averaged something like 1900 feet high.
After locating the mountain, we laid the

rate, and it is understood that all the other
Western roads are now agreed to this. 1t
will be known within few weeks.
The eXcess-baggage rate on local lines IS
one cent q pound per mile per hundred
pounds. A wheelman from Martinez
would thus be taxed Sc cents, from San
Jose 81 cents, from Napa 46 cents, from
Santa Rosa IS cents and so on. 1t he ven
tured on the overland the rate would be
different, be II per cent OF the maximum
cost of a first-cass ticket. Taking wheel
from San Francisco to New York would
thus cost about SO so. That's the way
things stand.
Something must be DONE" said Mr..
Goodman yesterday. "Onlv recently our
up train from San Jose was just an hour
late. Investigation showed that it had
been held back to accommodate 40 wheels.
Extra cars had to be put on to accommo-
date them. Not long ago over 500 wheels
and wheelmen crossed to Oakland and all
the 500 bicycles had to be stacked up on
the Seventh street local. The yard engine
on for the wheels.
81 understand that many wheelmen
favor our charging for caring for wheels,
for they argue that then they Will have
to be protected and given more care.
"That is true, and we are now fignring
on a device by which wheels can be fas-
tened by clamps to the roof OF baggage
car, thus insuring their safety"
The New York Central is one strong OPP

BICYCLES WILL PAY FARE,
Railroad Men Say That Wheels
Are Becoming a Great
Nuisance.
BOOMERS MUST HAVE POCKETS
Our Wheelmen VIII Soon Have to
Pay Excess Baggage Rates
for Wheels.

The boomer girl had better have small
change pockets made in her wheeling cos
tune right away.
The railroads are soon going TO charge
for the transportation of bicycles.
Everybody who has watched the growth
of the wheeling industry, as it may be
termed, has been expecting this for some
time. At present the wheelman rides long
distances from home, rides until he gets
tired, more so than his wheel, and then
when he thinks about home-going, boards
a train, slows his wheel in a baggage-car
and Strengthens the curves from his spine
on the cushions OF a Pullman or parlor car.
Wheels are not charged for. With some
feeling of justice riders have argued that
if they bought hrst-class tickets and had
no baggage to be checked the least the
railroads could do was to carry wheels
free. It's true, too, that during the sum-
mer months thousands of people who go
one way on their wheels and patroniZe the
railroad to return would otherwise not
travel at all. They go in parties and clubs
and all that, and they use the railroad as a
handy sort of a0 junct to their own wind
and muscle.
That's the wheelmen's side of the story.

take better care OF their wheels they will
not be justified in charging for carrying
them. They say the machines are jammed
in pellmell into baggage-cars; that trunks
fall on them, and clumsy baggagemen
often stumble over and fracture the fragile
mechanism.
The other side-the railroad side-is that
bicycles have become a nuisance. Their
transportation delays trains and shortens
the lives of conductors and baggagemen.
At recent meeting of railroad men in
Chicago the yexed topic was debated at
length. The result was that the leading
Eastern lines-the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central and other roads-agreed to
charge for carrying wheels. The Western
lines considered a plan to charge the 100
pounds excess baggage rates for each
wheel, but every body would not agree and
the plan fell through. Since then the
Northern Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
Great Northern roads have united in
charging a fifty pounds excess baggage
rate for each wheel.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger Agents Association, recently re-
vived the subject by sending out letters to
all members asking for their views Gen
eral Passenger Agent Goodman of the
Southern Pacific responded by favoring a
change OF the 100 pounds excess-baggage

five more local managers and place them
