establishment of dairy department In the

establishment of dairy department In the
State University Of California, which should
receive the endorsement of the dairymen Of
the state. Mr.. Sessions called attention to
the Importance of the association being
awake to its interests on these subjects.
A discussion followed on the points touched
upon in the address and the best methods
of arousing the interest Of the dairy
men of this section in the organization.
Mr.. Sessions presented tabulated state
ment of the output Of twenty-four cream
cries Of the five southern counties that were
rather startling to persons unacquainted
with the facts. There are fory-three
creameries in the territory named from
twenty-five actual figures were obtained.
and the two remaining were estimated. For
these S51 customers have furnished milk in
the past year, and the output has been 604,-
900 pounds of butter, for which $275,00 has
been received, and $50, 900 for cheese. In ad-
dition to this 100000 has gone to Northern
California for butter exclusive of the money
sent east for that article of staple use, which
is shipped in by carload lots. Mr.. Sessions
thought a conservative estimate would place
the amount Southern California pays out
annually for butter at one million dollars,
had reports been sent In from all the cream
cries. One factory that handles over 10000
pounds Of milk per day did not respond to
the request for statement

STREET SWEEPING
Will Be the Next Contract Tackled by
the City Council

The councils remarkable success thus
far with a genuine competitive bid system
in the awarding of contracts for furnishing
department supplies has given it confidence
to believe that corporations business car
be run on the same principles as the bust
ness of private individual. 1t is therefore
making preparations to take up the street
sweeping matter next week on this basis
and expects to somewhat revolutionize
some of the methods that havel heretofore
prevailed
One change will probably be the sweeping
of the business portions Of the city by
hand and although a lower rate will pos
sibly be obtained for the machine sweep
ing that will be kept up in the residence
districts, the aggregate cost of the service
will be increased Better results will be the
aim in any changes that are made.
The present contract by which the work
is done at $5.S5 per lineal mile, does not ex-
pire until November goth, but bids will be
advertised for Immediately. in order that
there may be plenty of time to look into
the matter before awarding the contract

William Vanderbilt. secretary and agent
for the State Dairy bureau, gave an inter-
esting account OF the work accomplished by
that department, and spoke of the vigilance
required to guard against authorizations, not
only in the shape Of oleomargarine and filled
cheese, but in every other article of con-
sumption. Mr.. Vanderbilt stated that the
bureau had found adulterated butter and
cheese was being shipped east with a Cali
fornia brand on 1t.

DECISION REACHED
Los Angeles Lighting Company's
$3.50 Bid Will Be Accepted

Unless something new occurs, when the
light committees report is submitted to the
council on Monday, the light contract ques-
ton Is now fully and finally settled for the
next year to come. The committee will rec
ommend that the bid. of the Los Angeles
Lighting company under schedule A be &C
cepted. This means that for the twelve
months from jan 1, 1899, to Jan. 1, 1900, the
city will be furnished light at the rate of
s6.5 per month for each arc lamp. the masts
remaining intact, and $50 lights being added
to the present number making 640 in all.
This wind-up of the matter will be the
result of a compromise between the; men,
bers of the committee, and there is one
feature to the situation which may yet pre-
cipitate rumpus and cause still further
consideration of the matter
Grider who Is chairman of the light COM
mittee, really would like to see the con-
tract awarded to tho Edison Electric COM
pany at its bid Of 1854 per light on schedule
B, which does away with the masts and in
creases the number Of lights to 734. He
would prefer this because he believes that
the new system which the Edison company
would put in would be superior to the Los
Angeles Lighting company's system and
would give the city better service. As
against the Los Angeles Lighting COM
pany's bid OF $575 on the same schedule, he
will vote for the Edison company for these
reasons. y 81 ~
The majority Of the council, however, Is
in favor of the Los Angeles company's low
est bid of $780, against which the Edison
company has no competitive bid, because
1t contemplates leaving the masts just as
they are. Blanchard, Toll, Nickel and
Ashman have already expressed themselves
in favor of accepting this bid and Order
will join them in voting for 1t unless there
Is a movement to take down the masts, in
which case schedule B becomes operative,
and he will favor the Edison company.
Bajer refuses to express himself on the
question until Monday morning. Hutchinson
will not be present at the council meeting
and President Silver was not approached on
the subject.

lon that Mcguire would receive an almost

yesterday in the assembly room Of the
chamber Of commerce, with President C. H.
Sessions in the chair, and ]. r. Boal secre-
tary.
The members being late in assembling, the
only business of the morning was the read
ing of minutes and collection of membership
dues, after which an adjournment was taken
until o'clock.
The first business of the afternoon was the
annual address by the president, c. H. Ses-
sions, which called attention to bills that
will probably come up in the next legisla-
ture concerning matters of interest to dairy
men. Among those was cited the import
ance of sustaining the oleomargarine law;
the action taken on the stock inspection
bill, relating to state control through coun-
try veterinary supervision and the proposed

PHYSICAL CULTURE
The Contest for Two Gold Medals at
Masonic Temple Hall

The contest for two gold medals by j.
D. Hoover's classes in Ralston physical Gull
ture last night at the Masonic temple hall
was not quite so brilliant an affair as a
ballet, but it was a great deal funnier.
Among the male contestants there was a
batch OF five which contained two men with
good-sized paunches and an slderly gentle
man whose bald head and white Dun
drearys gave MOI premonition that he had
not yet got over the kittenishness which
goes with Ralston physical culture. The
motions of these people as they appeared
to one not an expert in the business were
those of persons attempting to swim, to fly
to skate, to stand on a banana peel or tC
light high gas jet with a broken match
There was also a gesture as of "the head
bowed down with grief" but the fat boys
were not equal to 1t and went down on all
fours. These gentlemen, who seemed tc
hold the exalted position Of clowns to the
circus, afforded great amusement and
reaped tremendous applause.
Some of the postures and movements by
the lady contestants were graceful enough
but most Of them were expressive more OF
muscular exertion than a desire to appear
airy and sylph-like. which Is probably the
proper tHlnS III physical culture a la Hdls-
ton. Among these gestures were such as
hammering down imaginary crowbars with
phantom hammers, swinging babies, play
ing piston rod with the arms and other mys-
terlous movements, which may be perfectly
justified under the Ralston program. Afte,
these extraordinary gestures had been done
to safety by a number of squads of male
and female contestants. the judges selected
by Mr.. Hoover discarded the less meritori.
Gus and announced that six men and five
ladies had found favor In their eyes, and
these might go over It all again, which they
did with as much gusto as they had before
to the monotonous little tunes doled out by
a piano for the purpose of preserving the
rythm.
At last the contest in Ralston physica
culture was over and the winners were de.
clared to be Miss Nellie Baldwin and George
N Duncan, who were awarded their gold
medals on the stage by Rev. VIII A.
Knighten, one Of the Jurors.

What the Battleshlp Oregon DID.


Joseph P. Mcintyre, chaplain of the
Oregon, who says that he had moth
ing to do during the naval battle mt
Santiago bay but to watch the fight,
declares that the Oregon did most OF
the work of destroying Cervera's
ships. The reports of the engage
ment and the positions of the various
ships shows that there is q good deal
OF truth in the statement. The Span
ish vessels did not, in fact, fire on
the whole American feet. The brunt
of the fight was borne by the Oregon
and the Brooklyn, and no one who
has read the accounts OF the battle
doubts that the results would have
been practically the same il these
two had been the only United States
ships there. Indeed, it is altogether
probable that the Oregon slone could
have beaten the whole Spanish feet.
II there had been only one vessel,
the Spaniards would have attacked
with more confidence, perhaps, but
as 1t was they did their best to con-
centrate their fire on the Brooklyn,
and to overwhelm it. They could
have done no worse to the Oregon.
Discussions of what might have hap-
pened under different conditions1d 20

but the pride of this country In itg
battleships is SO great that it I'm be-
lieved that the Oregon, unaided,
