bodies in other towns are daily con-
sidering. The Commercial Club
has various committees appointed to
investigate these matters, but how
often do they report? When any
particular duty is assigned them the
COMMITTEES do the work thoroughly
and well, but the efforts must not be
spasmodic, but continuous. In this
way sooner or later good results must
follow.
It is a delicate thing to discuss
matters Of local concern, but when 1t
is done in a spirit of fairness and
with thoughts only Of the common
good, none can complain, even
though what is written does not coin
eide with their views. How to build
up The Dalles is the thought every
business ssman should hold foremost
in his mind, as by the growth of the
town his own prosperity will be in
creased.
Common effort is what is needed
TO bring about the desired end. He
who doubts this axiom should turn
to Esop's fables and read the story
about the bundle of fagots.

California Barrel Company.
The California Barrel Company was
organized by Mr.. John L. Roster and
incorporated in 1888 It's main offices
are at 327 Market street, the works at
the Potrero, San Francisco. 1t aver
ages 140 employees.
The works occupy an area of about
500 by 600 feet and are equipped with
the very best cooperage machinery and
the most improved dry kilns, enabling
the company to promptly fill orders of
any magnitude.
Having the railroad into its yards
and warehouses and being situated
close to deep water, this company is
enabled to manufacture at minimum
cost. The manufactures consist of bar
rels, kegs and packages of all sizes
for slack and tight work, of both soft
and hard woods, such as sugar, flour,
cement, fruit and dry paint barrels,
nail kegs, syrup barrels and kegs, all
kinds of packages for vinegar, pickles,
olives, butter, lard, meats and fish,
wine and liquor barrels and kegs of
all sizes. This company also manu-
factures the famous Udell Excelsior
step ladders.

and when the Royal Society of British
Artists, London, solicited their exhibit
of eight of their masterpieces.
The visitors have brought but few
canvases with them, and this is un-
fortunate for the local lovers of mas
terly portraiture in oil. However, one
of their frames holds the picture of a
dainty little miss, the daughter of the
artists, as exquisite bit of work in
that line as ever came from the brush
of an artist. The child, dressed in rich
colored satin, hands crossed and partly
covered with lace, her pretty head in a
tiny French cap, energies from dark
background a thing of flesh and blood
and life. The photograph herewith
represented is not of the child in life,
but of the painting itself.
In commenting upon this work Ar
mand Silvestre, the Partisan, critic,
said: ''It is chef d'oeuvre and should
entitle the artists to being accepted as
naturalized French" This is no mean
compliment to come from the severest
critic foreign artists have repeatedly
fallen before.
There is another canvas of great
merit in the McCloskey studio in the
attic on Montgomery street. 1t is that
of Frederick Paulding as Romeo. Mr.
Paulding played that part HOO consec-
utive times in New York, and at no
time was he ever more natural step
ping down with outStretched right
arm to the footlights and the audience
than he is walking out of that canvas
This particular masterpiece is signed
"A. B." the initials of Mrs. McCloskey,
whose individual work it is
These artists are not as well repre-
sented as they might be at the Hop,
klns Institute of Art. They have but
one painting exhibited there, and it is
not properly hung. It is the portrait
OF Captain Robert Lowry, who is
abroad at this time, but whose lifelike
picture makes one feel he is still here.

SYRUPS AND MOLASSES.
Important Enterprise OF the
Long Syrup Refining
COMPANY.

An enterprise of prominence and
magnitude in San Francisco and one
with the operations of which the pub
lie is not familiar is the Long Syrup
Refining Company, located at the cor
ner of Eighth and Brannan streets
This institution occupies the old
Spreckels sugar refinery and is in
many respects an important concern.
]. NJ. Long is president and general
manager, NJ. III. Weed ce-president
and w. G. Crandall secretary.
The operations of the company are
confined exclusively to the manufac-
ture of fine syrups and molasses, GER
tain brands of which have long been
favorites with the general public not
only of this city, but of the entire
coast. The best known brands are
Woodland Maple, Saratoga Drips,
Humming-bird Syrup, White Sugar
Drip, Crescent Syrup. The New Or
leans molasses manufactured by the
company enjoys a wide popularity.
The company recently introduced
new machinery into the refinery and
is now keeping pace with the ever in
creasing demands for its products.
The best and most approved methods
employed in the manufacture of
syrups are utilized by the company,
the product being free from any dele
terious substances whatever. Every
department of the refinery is presided
over by competent men who are ex-
perts in their line.
The demand for the various brands
of syrups refined by the company is
not confined exclusively to this terri
tory, but heavy shipments are con-
stantly being made to Central Ameri-
ca. Honolulu and even to Australia.
The syrups are of the best quality,
and the fact that the demand for them
is increasing constantly is an indis-
putable guarantee of their superiority.

eventful career John T. Dare may ap-
pear only as the man of action, reso-
lutte and fertile in resources, but he
has made a study of political economy
and the problems of government. He
has done yeoman service for the Re-
publican party on the stump, besides
being practical newspaper writer.
Mr.. Dare is distinguished for his
practical sagacity and sound judg-
ment, and amid the rancors of politi
cal warfare his integrity has never
been questioned. OF him one likes to
quote Shakespeare's line:

TYPICAL AMERICAN.
Career OF Romance in Many
Lands Marked by Useful
ness and Honor.

Lands Marked by Useful
ness and Honor.
All Californians know and like John
I. Dare, now United States Appraiser
of this city, but few know of his ro-
mantle life on sea and shore, in West
ern wilds and under South Sea Island
skies. 1t would take an Anthony
Hope to deal with its adventures and
dramatic situations.
He came round the Horn in 1861, as
officer of ship, and afterward went
to Arizona, where he became noted on
the frontier as a pony express rider
and subsequently a member of the
Territorial Legislature.
He returned to San Francisco and
began the study of law, being admit
ted to practice in 1874. His restless
spirit again led him among the palm
tree isles of the South Seas, and land
ing at Honolulu he remained long
enough in the Paradise of the Pacific
to become a member of the Kings
Cabinet, Kalakaua appointing him At
torney General of the island kingdom
Here he remained two years, return
ing to San Francisco, where he re-
sumed the practice of law. He also
acted as fiduciary agent for large con-
tractors engaged in railroad building
and engineering work. He represented
Solano County in the Legislature in
1877. He served term in the District
Attorneys office, and his splendid rec
ord as prosecuting attorney is familiar
to the public. His administration is
conceded by the police authorities to
be the best and most successful in it's
history.
Amid the stirring scenes of his
