IT DOESN'T PAY.

To Raise Garden Truck With Only One
Preserving Works Says Gardener.
Mr.. Charles E. Soule of Oakland sub
urb has written a letter to the JOURNAL
in which he says the reason tomatoes
and other kinds of garden truck are
rotting on the ground is because the
preserving works doesn't pay enough for
vegetables to pay for picking them.
Mr. Soule says he favors a canning
factory. as proposed by Mr.. Larimer, or
several canning factories for that matter,
as that would make a market which
would pay the producer for his crop.
There being just one establishment
here which buys vegetables the prices
paid are SO low that it is charged, the
farmers prefer to let their truck rot
rather than take them to so poor
market
Mr. soule says the preserving works
pays 10 cents per bushel for apples (if
good sound ones); 10 cents a bushel for
choice tomatoes; So ton for cabbage
and 20 cents a hundred weight for Gu
cumbers Gf not averaging more than
three inches in lengthy.
Mr.. Soule says good average cabbage
brings about one cent at the present
market.

NOW. IT WILL BE MONDAY.
When the AIinstreIs VIII Give Their Open
Air Performance.

The Modoc minstrel show was post
poned last night because of the wet
weather. By five o'clock last evening
the end men were porting over their
cues, and the members of the kazoo band
were beginning to accumulate wind
for the evenings exertions. But, alas,
Weather Observer Jennings had left the
office and gone to Boston, and his assis-
tant thong htlessly ordered a rain, never
thinking what disappointment it would
be to the noble Modocs The rain came,
and that settled the question. But the
anxions public will be given an OppOr-
tunity of seeing this stupendous aggre-
CATION of some of the worlds greatest
artists.
Monday evening, the weather man be-
ing willing, the Brownie minstrels of the
Modocs will be seen at the park in all
their grandeur. Coroner Bailey and
Bert Lucas will continue in hard training
for their three round bruising bout, and
it is expected that they will each be in
the finest condition immaginable. Chief
Wilkersou will not interfere SO long as
no one is killed outright. The odds are
a little in favor of the coroner today.
The match will no doubt be very ex-
citing.

Talk of the Missouri Pacific building to
Topeka, it is Said.
The Missouri Pacific railroad COM
panv through some of its Kansas repre-
sentatives has filed with the secretary of
state charter authorizing the building
of two new branch lines in Kansas
According to the charter filed, the
new road will be known as the Atchison
Topeka s. St Joseph railway company
and its capital stock is placed at 81, $780,
pany to build line of road from Atchi-
son to st. Joseph up the Kansas side of
the Missouri river. This it is under
stood is the plan by which the Missouri
Pacific proposes to get away from the
troublesome bad track on the Missouri
side near Atchison which costs the rail-
roads so much money every year.
The charter also authorizes a line of
road to be built from Atchison to Tope-
ka, through the counties of Atchison
Jackson, jefferson and Shawnee, here to
connect with the K. n. & D. branch
which now has its northern terminal
here.
An Atchison man who stands very
close to the Missouri Pacific Kansas Of
ticials, says the branch between Atchison
and St. Joe will be built at once. but that
the Topeka branch is most likely talk

HindmRrsh Scores 23, Biscoe 19-Other
Sporting Items.
The live bird race between P. ]. Hind
marsh and l. Biscoe came off yesterday
as prearranged. Condition. twenty five
birds per man, American Shooting asso-
chosen referee and E L Dibert and ]. c.
Elliott acted as judges. The birds were
a mixed lot, some of them being as fast
as were ever trapped, while others were
slow starters and easily stopped.
Mr.. Hindmarsh stepped to the score
frat and led of by grassing left quar-
tering incomer from trap No. 2, ana Nj
BIscoe followed, stopping an easy one
from trap No 3. The first bird lost was
Biscoe's seventh. 1t was a corking right
quarterer and though hard hit managed
to pull over the fifty-yard boundary line.
Hindmarsh lost his eighth and tenth
and then settled down and killed his re-
naming fifteen birds straight. Biscoe
lost his twelfth and thirteenth, which put
him one bird behind, but he shot an ex-
cellent uphill race until his last five birds,
when he was unfortunate in drawing the
hardest birds trapped during the match
and lost three of them.
Mr.. Hindmarsh used a ~ bore Reming-
ton hammerless, and his load for the first
barrel was 3-dram of T. G. powder and
IA OF OF NO. Z CQll10Q SuOL III "5uOk0loSS'
shells. For the second barrel he used
81 drains of power aud No 6. shot.
Mr.. Biscoe shot ~ bore l. c. Smith
gun loaded with 224 drains of E. C. pow
der and ia or of No. IL shot in the
first barrel, and drains of powder and
No. shot in the second. The fact that
nearly all of Mr.. Biscoe's lost birds were
hard hit was evidence that his load was
not powerful enough to be effective on
fast, strong birds.
Each of the shooters used his second
barrel ten times, usually for safety.
Mr.. Hindmarsh is the more deliberate
shot of the two and is very effective with
his first barrel, while Mr.. Biscoe appar-
emily snaps with his first barrel. The
score is as follows: / signifying killed

Members of CharlestOn's Swou Club "A
rested Under Dispensery Law.
COLUMBIA, S. c.. Aug. 24-When the
dispensary law went into effect the
Columbia Club, the leading social orga-
nization of the city, which had formerly
dispensed liquor to its members, dis
continued the practice, but private lock-
ers were provided and members were al
lowed to keep each in his own locker
liquors for his own use. Many members
awaited themselve of this privilege, and
the club was so conducted during Gov
ernor TiIlmRn's term of office, with his
knowledge and consent Under Gov
ernor Evans different policy is to be
pursued. and on last Saturday the clnb-
rooms were raided and all liquors found
were confiscated Today nine of the
leading members of the club, among
them Editor Gonzales, of the State. aud
Representative Patton, who is also dele
gate to the constitutional convention.
were arrested, and each put under $500
bond for his appearance at trial at court
for ''com bining with others and aiding
and abetting in keeping a clubroom in
which intoxicating liquors were received
and kept for use and for distribution
among the members of the club" The
dispensary authorities will now ask for
injunctions restraining the members
from keeping liquors in the clubroom
until after the cases are decided.

FOUND A BARREL OF BEER
In a joint On Branner Street-POlice Ar
rest f. L. Wells.

Last night Sergeant Ellison, Officers
Gaines, Aye and Burgess raided joint
on Branner street. 1t was about II p.
IN. when the officers swooped down upon
the place, and put the proprietor, "Mon-
~" Wells, under arrest.
His name is F. L. Wells, and his liquor
joint was on Branner street, between
Sixth and Seventh. He is a white man
who has not borne good reputation for
some time, the police aver. When ar
rested last night he became obstinate,
and defed the officers to break open any
doors in search for liquor.
With the orders of Chief Wilkerson,
the officers proceeded to smash open the
door of the barn, but the man became
frightened, and gave the key to the po-
lice. In the barn were found two empty
whisky jugs and barrel of Schlitz bot
tied beer. The patrol wagon hauled
IN onty" and his beer to the police sta
ton, and the proprietor was locked be-
hind the big steel door of the city prison.

Ways in New York


Ways in New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24-Two very YER
dant Englishmen, quartered at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, caused CONSERVATION on
Twenty third street About the hour
when the shop girls were hurrying to
the big stores on Sixth avenue, a window
in the hotel was raised and a wash bowl
of soapY water was thrown downward,
its contents spOtting the gowns of those
beneath. OF course there was a row and
an investigation. The Englishmen con-
fessed that they didn't know anything
about drain pipes and the other fxings
in their room, and thought it was all
right to throw soiled water into the
street. Their ignorance of American
Injuries touched the heart of the clerk
who called them down, as we'll as those
whose clothing was soiled. It also indi-
Gates that people who go abroad must
miss all the comforts of home.
