destroyed great many hogs, rendering

sold. North Dakota lands are IN the
best condition to attract new settlers oi
any state in the union. South Dakota
has for various reasons received black
eye and Mr.. Paulson says it is difficult
to get farmer to even consider that
state. This is owing to drouth and
poor crops. The great wheat crop oi
this state is attracting attention and will
be the means Of getting good many
new settlers here.
One Of the great drawbacks to getting
men of means and tarm experience to
take land here is the high rate of fare
asked by the railroads for trip to the

''The inefficiency and corruption of the
municipal government of San Francisco
have long been matters OF common
rumor. To Investigate those matters, and
vlndicate or punish those responsible, a
commission has been demanded by a
large number of public-spirited citizens.
A bill providing for such a commission,
and endowing it with special powers, has
been drafted by the Attorney-General,
and introduced in the Legislature. The
fate OF that bill is hanging in the balance.
Opposed to it are all the forces that
fear disclosure and such investigation.
Every influence that can be is being
brought against it. To defend it the
friends of good government are arraying
themselves, and on it's passage have
staked the issue OF the battle. Where
upon, pursuant to resolution of this
federation, mass meeting Of the citizens
of San Francisco is called to be held

Then the Secretary read Adams letter
OF resignation and considerable discus
sion followed. Finally the directors went
into secret session to consider the matter
and accept the resignation. The directors
were averse TO discussing the resignation,
but it was learned that Manager Adams
had incurred the displeasure of certain
growers and fruitbrollers in the Santa
Clara Valley in the vigilant exercise of
his functions as manager, and to avoid
the irritation of their criticism he deter
mined to resign his position.
The directors met again at the Occi-
dental tonight. and passed a resolution

several representatives should be ap-
pointed in the East to look after the in

Owing to the intensely cold weather, the
firemen were handicapped. The Denison
Hotel is located at Ohio and Pennsylva-

having 800 guest-rooms. The hotel was
quickly filled with smoke and the guests
left quietly. No panic resulted. For a

Empire Theater. Fireman Frank Nutter
and electric-light man Pat Ryan were
knocked from ladder forty feet high by

fatally and Ryan seriously injured.
