EXPOSITION WORK.

N the matter of expositions San Francisco is hav-
 ing an experience of the old adage, Tt never rains but it pours" We have mining expo sition Of our open and running with great suc- cess, and addition two other projects of similar character-one to provide from the exhibits at the fair permanent mining display at the Golden Gate Park Museum, and the other to prepare com pee exposition of the industries of the State for the Omaha exposition.
 Each of these enterprises merits consideration, ap- prova and support; but one of them is sufficient to overshadow the others We must promote and advance fair by liberal and generous patronage, but should neglect for that reason the claims of the proposed permanent display at the Park Museum, nor those of the coming exposition at Omaha.
 The mining fair will do much to make known the mineral resources of California and the advantages oi San Francisco outftting point for the Alaskan trade. It is however, of temporary nature and is largely local in its influence. Though widely adver- tised it will be seen by comparatively few of the thousands of people in the East who less interested in the Klondike gold excitement, in gold mining investments generally, who are thinking of making homes for themselves in portions of the United States where the climate pleasant and the soil fruitful than in the places where they now reside.
 A mining exhibit at the Park Museum would not be temporary, but permanent display at Omaha would not be local, but would be seen by great throngs of people from all parts of the East. The benefits to be derived from providing the two ex- hbts are therefore too apparent to need elaboration Both projects should be cordially supported. Let us have comprehensive mining display at the Park Museum by all means and also display at Omaha which will demonstrate the thousand advantages Cal ifornia and San Francisco offer to all enterprisng men, whether they intend to undertake the hazardous exploration of the gold districts of the north or de- sire to do business and make homes in locality of genial sunshine, cultured people and assured pros- perity.

FLOUR ADULTERATIONS.

n effort now being made to procure Congress
 sional action to prevent the sale of adulterated flour the pure article is receiving consider. able attention in the East and should have cordial support from California and her delegation in Con- gress. The is in the direction of procuring laws which will check food aduerations of all kinds, and State in the Union is more interested in the enactment of such statutes than ours.
 The extent to which aduteration is practced in the flour trade IS much greater than is generally sup posed. The St. Paul Pioneer Press states that the practice threatens the important milling interests of Minnesota, and adds, Already in sections, particularly in the Sout the sales of the adulterated product have reached such magnitude as to percep- tiby affect the trade in honest four"
 The flour milling interest is almost as important to California as to Minnesota, and if the trade of our sister commonwealth is now suffering from the ef- fects of dishonest competition will not be long be- fore milers will be subject to the same injury. For local reasons therefore if not for the general good, we should be prompt and energetic in aiding the Eastern millers to obtain the legislation in the interest of pure food they are now fighting for.
 It is admitted that the adulteratons of flour far put on the market are in the main harmless. They consist chiefly Of mixing percentage of corn flour with the wheat, and the combination claimed by its manufacturers to be equally good as the pure ticle This claim need be denied by the advocates of the pure food law for the fact would still remain that the consumer is cheated and the wheat flour miller injured when cheap mixture of wheat and corn IS put on the market and sold as pure wheat four
 The "corn flour" men are by no either few or weak They have strong organization and are reported to have at present in Washington power ful lobby to fight the proposed law The advocates Of the measure have easy victory before them It will take earnest and persistent work to convince Congress that even if the claims of the corn flour nen be true and if the aduteration be truly bene- cent discovery of science which cheapens the price of bread for the people, it nevertheless should be sold under its right and not under the of pure flour.
 Sooner or later Congress will have to undertake in earnest the task of preventing food aduerations Modern science enables the interruptions to adulter ate almost every kind of food in common use, and the producer of pure foods is heavily handicapped Ill competing with them. It is nothing more than right that all articles of food should be marked with labels showing exactly what they are If the people prefer the sophisticated food" at the cheaper price no one can object, but they should not be duped into buying 1t by false pretenses.

4 BONANZA FOR CALIFORNIA.

II MONO the local items of Santa Clara County / \ noted in the last issue of the Mountain View Register IS to the effect that drlers are being rushed night and day trying to fill orders for evaporated vegetables. At of these driers some thing like POO tons of green onions have been worked up and the Register adds: "The price has steadily risen all the fall and winter, and they now worth & 25 a hundred and scarce"
 The item itself is Of little but its signh- canoe is of far-reaching importance It is a straw showing the way the commercial wind blows for the rural industries of the State The Alaskan demand for dried vegetables has created something like boom for the vegetable grower, and new avenue for profit has been opened for the California farmer ii he chooses to take advantage Of it..
 The Klondke rush is in fact bonanza for Cali fornia, and particularly so for the producer of fruit and vegetables. This fact should not be overlooked in the excitement of the time. The who re- mains in California and raises vegetables for the Alaskan trade will have profits than the man who goes north seek nuggets of gold in the Yukon Valley. The gold-seeker has big chances in one re- spect but very small chances in another, while the cutvator of the soil of California has about a thing as any human industry can be-
 Many a man in California is now outftting for the Klondike who could do much better by staying at home In the crowded East, where thousands of men are barely earning living, where the soil IS not fer tile and the climate in its swift changes from heats to winter blizzards is almost bad for the poor as the climate of Alaska itself there is some reason for the rush the gold fields, but these sons apply to but few people in California. h. dustry can earn a living here and competence for old age without taking desperate chances. When the prices for vegetables rising and differs running night and day to fill orders, California has her share of the Klondke bonanza at home without having to go to the frozen north to hunt for it.

His manner, at times, is rather brusque to the customer not possessing large bank account. and as general thing the aggrieved party has no other redress than to grin and bear 1t. He tried 1t on once too often, however, with the result that he received the worst of 1t at his own game The other day one of the deputy sheriffs from the City Hall came down to the bank to have check cashed and, instead of talk ing his regular turn, sought to take ad- vantage of the supposed prestige of his position and get waited on first. The tell CT. instead of humoring him, ordered him back to his proper place In the line with more directnesS than politeness. MT. Dep- uty took his rebuke with surprising meekness and waited patiently until his turn came, when he transacted his busi- ness and quietly departed He went di- rectly from the bank to the Tax Collect or's office, where he hunted up the name or the teller on the assessment roll, and taking pencil from his pocket wrote. See Deputy X. about this"
 The next day the teller took advantage of his lunch hour to run out to the hall and pay his taxes. Upon arriving at the tax office he gave his name to the clerk there, who opened the ledger and seeing the notation refused to accept any money until Deputy x. was seen. A messenger was dispatched in search of that indiyid- ual. but though the teller waited a whole hour he could not be found and the un fortunate tax payer had to leave without transacting his business. The following day he again went out to the hall. when the same thing was gone through: this time, however, after he had waited tWen- ty minutes the deputy put in an appear ance, and glancing at the note he had made on the book told the clerk that if was all right and that he could accept the payment: then turning to the teller he said:
 You thought you were some one when you were down at your bank, but out here you don't amount to a white chip in a mo- limit game. I only did this to give you a taste of your own medicine, so you could see how nice it Is to be kept waiting when you are in hurry.'
