THAT BIG POULTRY BILL.
Auditor Broderick and tn,
Finance Committee Have
Locked Horns.
The Board of Health Disclaims Re.
sponsibility for County
Hospital Bills.

1t developed at the meeting of the Board
OF Health yesterday that the Finance
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
and Auditor Broderick have locked horns,
though in a friendly way, over the ques-
ton whether or not the Auditor has a
legal right to withhold his signature from
warrants that have been passed by the
committee as correct.
The matter under consideration was the
bill of poultry firm for fowls furnished
the City and County Hospital.
For years the custom has been to allow
the institution $25 per month for poultry,
and past Superintendent have apparently
been satisfied with that sum. The presen MT
administration, however, has been con.
tracing bills far in excess of $25 per
month, and short time ago the matter
came up at meeting of the Finance Com
mlttee and the expert of the Supervisors
was sent to the Auditor office to ascer-
tain how much had been spent in that
line. His report apparently satisfied the
members of the committee that the ex-
| penditure OF from $50 to $75 per month for
poultry was extravagant and that the
superintendent table must be faring ex-
ceedingly well in the way of delicacies.
Chairman Taylor at that time stated
that thereafter the poultry bill would be
limited to $25 per month. When the &C.
| counts for April were presented the poul-
try dealer bad bill for $50, but for some
reason the committee did not hold up the
demand, and it was signed and sent to the
Auditor. Then a member, who had not
previously taken hand, asked the Auditor
to hold the warrant until it could be as
certained whether the fowls were used for
making nourishing broths for the inmates
OF the hospital, or whether the Superin-
| tendents table was getting the benefit.
The matter was referred to the Board OF
Health, but that body refused to say any
that it did not come under their iurisdic-
ton, and that the amount of the bills must
be determined by the Board of Supervis-
ors. The matter now rests between the
latter body and the Auditor.

Their New Yacht, the Sam Vincent,

Now that all the prominent yacht clubs
on the other side of the bay have had their
turn in opening the yachting season in an
suspicious manner, the Pioneer Yacht
Club, formerly the Bilge- water Yacht
Club, of this City will drop into line with
the rest and help give the yachting season
OF 1896 healthy impetus.
On the 9th of next month they will hold
their opening day and annual regatta
Their boats, which all have their moor

tensively overhauled for the occasion.
They will cruise in squadron on June g

occasion.
The fleet will sail in the regatta in re-

Effect of a Peculiar Resolution
of the Transcontinental
Association.
RAILROAD MEN ARE GRINNING
The Result of Trying to Settle the
San Francisco.Port
Rate War.

Railroad men are just now enjoying the
humors of the situation created by the
action OF the Transcontinental Passenger
Association on the last day of its session.
when 1t passed the following resolution:
ResoIred, That Messrs. Goodman and Hurl-
burt be appointed a committee to endeavor, if
possible 10 restore rates between San Fran
cisco and Portland, and in the meantime other
lines take no action. pending settlement of
this question, without due notice to the asso-
citation.
Considering the fact that the gentlemen
named are the respective general passenger
agents OF the roads which are engaged in
the San Francisco-Portland rate war, and
that the matter of the adjustment of the
existing difficulties has long ago passed
from their hands into those of their SUI
periors, the resolution is looked upon by
all railroad men, and even by the two gen.
tlemen composing the committee, as in
the nature of a thigh iinks' proceeding.
Mr.. Hurlburt, when asked what he pro-
posed to do in the matter, remarked with
an evident appreciation of the humorous
absurdity of the situation: ooh, sh all
await the pleasure of the chairman of the
committee. Whenever Mr.. Goodman is
ready, will meet him."
Mr.. Goodman's views of the matter were
even more terse and expressive. Bun
combeI' was his only reply to question
as to what the effect of the association
resolution would be.
And thus the matter stands, with q
settlement as far off as ever but with
decided advantage gained by the aggres-
sive and daring competitor Of the Southern
Pacific Company.
Just before the session of the Trans
continental Passenger Association began
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany gave notice that it would at once use
the cut rate between here and Portland as
q basing rate for Eastern business. This
enabled 1t to quote a rate of $40 80 via
Portland TO st. Paul, as against the SAT 80
in effect on all other roads.
All other roads interested had the right
by agreement among themselves to meet
this rate if they chose, but none did so, in
view OF the near approach of the associa-
tion's meeting, at which it was expected
that the association would effectually
bring peace and harmony out of existing
war and discord.
But the resolution adopted by the asso-
citation, while it will accomplish nothing
toward bringing about settlement of the
local rate war, has tied the hands of all
the roads except the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company SO far as making a
Cut Idle W EdSbSIH pOlulS 10 COHCSTIleU. IL
will be seen that the resolution pledges all
the lines to stand by inactive pending
settlement of this question"
While the local railroad world is still
wondering over the significance of the
peculiar resolution the Oregon Railway
and Navigation people are chuckling in
their sleeves over the position they have
been placed in ana which gives them the
exclusive right to quote the $42 so rate to
st. Paul and common points.

to accommodate all who will wantI to

Among the exhibits will be two which
will attract much interest. One will be a
large model OF THE CALL building. now IN
process of construction on Market and
Third streets The miniature structure
will extend toward the roof of the Pavilion
to height of fifty feet and will occupy a
floor space of ten feet square. The model
will be lighted by electricity.
The other exhibit will be a miniature
Niagara of caret. The lines of the great
waterfall will be preserved and the flow Of
wine will be continuous. AS fast as it fall
the claret will be pumped into the reser.
voir back of the head OF the falls. The
stream above the falls will be spanned by
bridge. The exact size of this display
has not vet been decided, but it is likely
that the falls will extend from the gallery
to the main floor.
An electric fountain similar to the one
at the Midwinter Fair, but smaller, will
occupy the center of the Pavilion, and
it will be Kept in operation while the fail
lasts.
The industries will not be overlooked in
the general display of pretty and unique
exhibits Clothing, boots, shoes, brushes
glassware, jewelry, leather betting, rubber
goods, wood novelties, ETC., will be made

1.-The universe was brought into mani

which is perfectly pure in itself, should
gain the particular kind of knowledge
which matter can give it. 1t then passes
through the mineral, vegetable and ami
NAL forms. and as it pierces through these
various kinds of manifestations conscious
ness widens and expands. so that when 1t
reaches the human form it has become

"Then, when the human form is ready,
the divine spirit fructifes the germ in the
brain, which hitherto has been latent, and

Through long course of births and re-
births that reason gradually augments

Seigle had arrived with his parents only
