Patrolman Davis Reported for Killing
Dog With Pick

Patrolman Harvey Davis, one of the best
known members of the police force, will
have to face the police commission to an
swer to a charge of brutality, which, IL
true, should result in his losing his star

action against his accusers. He is watch

First and Main streets. and that corner
was the scene of the incident which re-
suited in his being reported to the chief
According to the report which was made

although 1t may have had distemper or
some other canine ailment. 1t Is said that
Davis, after having driven the dog off the
sidewalk several times, came upon 1t yes
terday, and, seizing it by the neck, pro-

HOME PRODUCTS EXHIBIT
First Months Showing Encouraging
Concerts to Be Continued

The success of the permanent nome
nroducts exhibition at the hall OF INDUSTRY
can best be gauged by the number OF WIS"
itors. Yesterday marked the end OIL Inc
first months existence of the exhipitlon'
and the register shows los pages hlled WIN
thirty-six signatures to the page, making
a total of 37SO signatures. or, as II is Ialr to
suppose that only one visitor out OF every
five took the trouble to put his or ner name
on the register it is probable that nearly
19. 900 people have visited the nan during
the first month.
Exhibitors are unanimous In their ex-
preston that the displays have been a
great benefit to their business. orders
from country merchants have frequently
been left In the secretarys once ana many
inquiries are made daily as TO the prices OF
articles displayed and the location Oh the
business concern. Even Boutrous Heiwi'
the syrian. sold several handsome articles
last week. ,
Secretary Zeehandelaar has, during the
last two days, been interviewing those
manufacturers who as yet have failed tc
bring their products to the notice Of the
consumers, with very encouraging results
and within the next week number of new
exhibits will be added to the attractions
of the exhibition. The Saturday night con-
certs that have proved such popular
entertainment will be repeated during the
winter months and it is the intention of
the exhibition committee to have occa-
sionally a matinee for ladies. The pro-
posed excursion of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association to Bakersfield
upon the completion of the Valley railroad
to that city is being strongly endorsed by
the merchants.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Urged to Combat Canadian Pacific In
Justice to American Railways

A wire was received yesterday by, Secre-
tary Virgins from w. s. Mason, president
of the chamber of commerce of Portland,
Or, stating that on the 23d that body had
memorialized congress by wire, requesting
withdrawal of the bonding privilege from
the Canadian Pacific railway and urgently
requesting the local organization to take
similar action. 1t seems that by reason
of Its freedom from the restraints of the
United States interstate commerce law the
Canadian Pacific railway has an advantage
over American roads which enables 1t to
deprive the latter of a large part of the
carrying trade of this country; and that
damage Is being done to commercial inter-
ests, especially those of the Pacific coast
states, by the use made by the Canadian
Pacific road to aid Canada against the
United States. The chamber of commerce
here will take the matter up at the direc-
tors meeting next Wednesday,
Mrs. Walter Carter of Redondo has sent
In to the chamber q wreath of delicate
moss and seaweed very carefully treated
and arranged, and studded with flowers
made of shells raised by wire stems. The
whole design is handsomely framed and

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That Will Be
Found Indispensable

The universal article of diet in that coun-
try, depended upon and indispensable, is
bread or biscuit And to make the bread
and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the
trail. yeast cannot be used-it must be
baking powder; and the powder manufac-
tured by The processes of the Royal Baking
Powder Company. miners and prospectors
have learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampnesS and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for every
one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yu-
kon country to know, for should he be per-
suaded by some outfitter to take one of the
cheap brands of baking powder, it will cost
just as much TO transport 1t, and then when
he opens it for use. after all his labor in
packing 1t over the long and difficult route.
he will find a solid caked mass or lot of
spoiled powder, with no strength and use
less. Such a mistake might lead TO the most
serious results Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food or try to
economize with your stomach, For use in
such a climate, ard under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor in
that country, everything must be the bes t
and most useful, and above all it is impera-
tive that all food supplies shall have per-
feet keeping qualities. 1t Is absurd to con-
vey over such difficult and expensive
routes an article that will deteriorate in
transit, or that will be found when required
for use to have lost a great part of its value.
There Is no better guide to follow in these
matters than the advice of those who have
gone through similar experience Mr.. Nc
Question. who is called ''the father of
Alaska" after an experience of years upon
the trail in the camp, and in the use of
every kind of supply, says: I'VE find in
Alaska that the Importance of a proper
kind of baking powder cannot be over
estimated. A miner with a can of bad bak-
ing powder is almost helpless in Alaska.
We have tried all sorts and have been
obliged to settle down to use nothing but
the Royal. 1t is stronger and carries fur
ther. but above all things, it is the only
powder that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region
1t is for the same reasons that the U. S.
government in its relief expeditions and
Peary. the famous Arctic traveller, have
carried the Royal Baking Powder exclu-
svely.
The Royal Baking Powder will not cake
nor lose it's strength either on board ship
or in damp climates, and is the most highly
concentrated and efficient of leavening
agents. Hence 1t is indispensable to every
Alaskan outfit. 1t can be had of any of the
trading companies in Alaska but should
the miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing. he should resist every attempt of the
outfitter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder. for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great dis
appointment and trouble.

TO SEE THE COUNCIL
Beers Withdraws His Request for Spe
cial Privileges at Elysian Park

A short session of the board of park COM
missioners was held yesterday morning, at
which but two subjects for consideration
came up, each of which was disposed of in
short order.
The committee appointed to investigate
and report in the matter of granting GER
tain privileges in Elysian park to Chas G..
Beers stated that he had temporarily with
drawn his request for the space required
In the park for his contemplated attrac-
tions that he had rented sufficient space
outside the park for his purpose. and would
ask any favors he might desire from the
council.
In explanation, 1t was stated to the board
that Mr.. Beers asked more than the COM
mission felt it could grant without adver-
tising the privileges for sale. Any other
grant of the privilege would give no pro-
lection to the holder. :
The finance committee reported that there
was a great amount of four-foot cord
wood in Elysian park. The price that
could be obtained for the wood in that
length was 50 per cord, but by saving it
into stove lengths, at a cost not to exceed
rs cents per cord, 1t could be sold to much
better advantage. Notwithstanding this,
1t was decided that the wood should be dis
posed of in its present condition at the
lower price.

Waiting for Muzzles

Mayor Snyder yesterday signed the new
water rate ordinance and the amendment
TO the ordinance prescribing the duties of
the meat inspector.
The law compelling the muzzing of all
dogs running at large will lie on the may
or's desk for few days, at the request
of several members of the council. who do
not want the ordinance to go into effect
until a sufficient number of muzzles to
properly equip every dog on the streets
can arrive.
At present the local dealers report IA
shortage in the supply of muzzles, but, in
anticipation of a, to them, golden rush for
the canine headgear, all have sent large
orders east by wire, which they expect to
be filled within a couple of weeks

Lottery Dealer "Pinched"

Ah Lee was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Patrolman Sparks for selling lottery
tickets and was locked up in the city Jail.
The officer was attired in citizens clothes
and met the Chinaman on the street. The
Mongolian blandly asked him if he desired
to purchase lottery tickets, assuring him
of a certainty of winning. Sparks bought
two tickets and then showed the Chinaman
his star and called the wagon.
