Miss Wilson testified that she bought the
whisky at his place. That the label, s'for
mechanical use," is only put on a bottle in
his store when the liquor is for the purpose
indicated. Cross-examined, he said he did
not know who wrote the label, but he

swear what the liquor was sold for.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
At a meeting of the board of trade last
evening, President Keyes in the chair and
Messrs. Wood, Lukens, Weight, Daggett
and Coleman present, several matters were
reported and discussed.
The president reported that the Lake
Vineyard Water company had voted to
cancel the indebtedness of Throop Poly
technic institute for water, and hereafter
to furnish water free for that institution.
This was considered very creditahle
thing for the company to do, as the institu-
ton is a public benefit to the town in many
ways.
As for the matter of the postofflce re-
quirements, Senator White and Congress-
man McLachlan had promised to do all
they could to help Pasadena get new
building, but in the meantime the govern
ment is advertising for room to rent for
the purpose, which does Il look as though
anything was to be done about new
building.
Mr.. Daggett reported the results of put
ting the Tournament of Roses into the
hands of the citizens and the effecting of
an organization for the purpose of carry
ing it on. Mr.. Daggett also reported on
the matter of suitable quarters for the
board of trade, and thought the matter
would soon be settled satisfactorily.
The proposition is to join with one of the
water companies in leasing room on the
floor, fit it up with suitable furniture and
install an exhibit (under the care of
secretary of such products as will show
terest to strangers.
A full report is to be made one week
hence.
