Davis In San Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The United
States torpedo-boat Davis arrived today
from Astoria, via Tillamook, and after
taking on coal proceeded TO Mare ISL
and. She proved to be good sea boat,
but owing to the heavy weather along
the coast she did not attempt greater
speed than six or eight knots.
The Davis crossed out of the Colum.
bia about two weeks ago, but put into
Tilamook to escape a storm remaining
there until Wednesday morning, when
she again headed south. She was in
command of Captain Thomas F. Neill,
and Arthur Zwicker and J. E. Wolff,
of the firm which built the vessel, were
in charge of the engine and boiler
rooms.

New Milling Company.

A flour milling company, to be
known as the M. M. & B. Co., has just
been incorporated at Chelan Falls.
The incorporators are Messrs. R. T.
Murdock, James Marshall and George
d. Brown. 1t is their purpose to at
once inaugurate the building of 1OO-
barrel -four mill at the falls, although
but 50-barrel machinery will be put in
at the start. When it is remembered
that at present there is but one flour
mill between Wilbur and the Cascade
mountains, in an area considerably
more than 100 miles square, it will be
seen that the present move means a
large and profitable business from the
start.

May Exclude Americans.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 7.-Much
talk is heard over the announcement in
the speech from the throne at the open
ing OF the provincial Legislature today,
that bill will be introduced to ex-
clude aliens from taking up or work
ing placer mining claims within the
province. The importance of this is
in no way to be gainsaid, for it will
shut Americans out of the Atlin coun-
try completely, and 1t will preserve
Atlins riches for British subjects
alone. At present Canadians are not
allowed to take up mining claims in
the United States.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Frye,
of the American peace commission,
said in the senate committee on COM
merce today that it was the under
standing of the American commission
ers that an absolute open-door policy
was to be observed by the government
of the United States with reference to
trade in the Philippines, and that
other countries were to be given the
same facilities as the United States in
that trade.
The question came up in connection
with an informal discussion of the
coast trade policy of this country and
its extension to the Philippines. Frye
also said the policy of excluding tex
tile fabrics would not, according to his
understanding, be applied as in this
country.
