1t Will Be Held in the Large Pioneer
Hall.
The Pure Food Congress, to be held on
April 30 and May 1, will without doubt be
grand success. At the meeting of the
Manufacturers Association and the COM
mittees of the Pure Food Congress yester-
day there was very large attendance,
there being present: J. w. Kerr, w. f.
Bowers, NJ. ]. Keller, S. Mckee, /. Jacobs,
A. Mclaughlin, Julian Sonntag, J. P.
Cur rier, L. r. Mead, +. L. Brown, A.
Sbarboro and b. n. Rowley.
The first matter considered was the
place of meeting. 1t was expected that
the gathering would be held in the
Chamber of Commerce, but it was quickly
seen, after the invitations were sent out,
that the place would not be nearly large
enough to accom- modate the delegates, q
large lumber of whom are coming from
the interior cities. 1t was decided to hold
the congress in the Pioneer Hall on Fourth
street, near Market. This hall will hold
about $50 people. l. Jacobs reported that
so far Ali delegates have promised to
attend the congress, and there are more to
hear from.
The special committee consisting of
Messrs. ROwley, Filcher, Mead, Jacobs
and Sountag, appointed to repare a pro-
its report, showing the manner of opening
the congress, appointing committees, etc.
The speakers and subjects will be ar
ranged later. 1t was decided to organize
the congress under the supervision of the
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
tion and q committee from the Council of

Three of the Lucky Winners An.
nounced Last Night After a
Careful Count.

The carnival word contest got up for the
children of the State has not lapsed with
the carnival, nor will the successful young
sters have to go without their prizes Just
because the fiesta has gone over for year.
The lists are all in and have been
counted, and the first three prize winners
have been announced.
The idea was TO make as MANY words as
possible from the words Golden Gate
Carnival" the words to be good English
words and TO be found in the dictionary
Fred Cost, southeast corner OF Stockton
and Chestnut streets, won first prize with
1896 words; Frank Mighell, 3s6 Twenty
fourth street, was second, with 1899 words,
and Ethel Way, 923 Fell street, came
third, with 1884 words.
The answers were turned over to Miss
Lille Follis of this CITY, and on her rested
the burden OF counting and verify ing.
They came in by thousands. There were
lists In biankbooks, on fooiscap, on wrap
ping paper, on scraps OF old letters.
There were words never in the dictionary,
words misspelled and uncounted, some
lists not signed, others accom- mpanied by
pathetic little notes They almost filled
room when piled together. and the task
OF sorting them out was herculean one.
The prizes will De $25, $15. $40 and ten
prizes of 81 each. These will be paid at

WANTED-A CROSSING.
Mission Residents Ask an Outlet From

Mission Residents Ask an Outlet From
Chenery Street to the Mission Road.
The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors held long discussion yester-
day on the advisabiiity of making q cross
ing of the railroad at Roanoke and Milton
streets for the purpose of giving residents
of the Mission district an outlet from
Chenery street to the Mission road.
Supervisor Clinton appeared on behalf
of the residents and asked that grade
crossing be made by ordering fences across
the ends of Roanoke and Milton streets
removed. Thi-, he said, would give the
desired result at a small expense.
Chief Engineer Curtis the railroad
company said grade crossing would be
dangerous and the proper way to settle
the matter would be to construct bridge
to connect the two streets and by masking
an under grade crossing at Castro street,
give the desired outlet.
DR.. Clinton objected to this on the
ground that 1t would cost several thousand
dollars to construct the bridge which the
City would have 10 pay, while the grade
crossing would cost very little, He
thought the railroad com Dany desired to
save the expense of maintaining q gate
there.
The matter went over for two weeks.
