JACKRABBITS WILL
BE HUNTED FOR FUR
SAN FRANCISCO MAN SEES A
CHANCE FOR GAIN.
Hermann Waldeck Believes That Cal
ifornia Has Raw Material for
the Making of Millions
of Hats.

Hermann WalGeck, dealer in hides at
"a and 36 Clay street, has decided to in
augurate a new commercial enterprise, to-
wit: the utilization of the skins of Cali
fornia jackrabbits, if, on investigation,
the conditions prove to be favorable. Mr.
Waldeck read in The Call some days ago
that ST Louis fur dealer had written
to find out whether he could get all the
rabbit skins in this State that he might
want The st. Louis man thought, from
the accounts he had read of the huge rab-
bit drives in California, that the supply
of rabbits here must be unlimited and that
he could get them for a very small
price, because he knew that the
California farmers killed the rabbits
to get rid of them and made no use of
them, with the exception of an inconse-
quential number marketed in this and
other cities as game. Mr.. Waldeck has
imported many millions of rabbit
skins from Australia during the past
six or seven years, into San Francisco.
The market for the Australian rabbit had
become firmly established in the United
States prior to the war in the Philippines
Since the war the price of the imported
skins has been raised. This increase in

SCHOOL DIRECTORS CLASH.
Holbrook and Armstrong Cross Swords
Over Payment of Claims.

School Directors Armstrong and Hol-
brook had a little tilt yesterday concern
ing school demands in which, from sub
sequent proceedings, Armstrong appears
to have come out second best. 1t was
no physical encounter that occurred be-
tween the two gentlemen. The trouble
arose over all the bills and demands in
which William LutZ, a money broker is
interested. Armed with these bills, which
he had procured earlier in the day from
Secretary Simpson. Armstrong went 70
Auditor Wells and requested that they
be audited Immediately. Though it is un-
usual for demands to be filed on the last
day of the month, Wells stated that he
would affix his signature. The bills
amounted to about $4,000, and would have
been paid to-day had not Chairman Hol-
brook of the Finance Committee heard
from Secretary Simpson about Arm
strong's action. Holbrook left the busy
cares of his downtown office and going
out to the City Hall in double quick time
demanded the return of the obligations
from the Auditor. who decided to give
them up after a heated argument. Arm
strong retired from the scene somewhat
crestfallen, while Holbrook muttered sew

A MERRY HOST AT A BANQUET.
Directors of the San Francisco Club
Honor the Member at a Dinner.

One Of the most thoroughly enjoyable
events of the season was given Friday
night at the rooms of the San Francisco
Club in the Claus Spreckels building. The
club has recently received a large number
of new members and the directors accepted
the time as opportune for a dinner at
which the old and the new members
might become better acquainted Over
sixty members therefore accepted the
hospitality of the directors and for hours
the rooms rang with the sounds of mirth
and revelry, good will and good fellow
ship. Supreme Justice F. W. HenShaw
acted as POSTMASTER and in that capacity
left undone nothing that could have been
desired. Toast after toast, appropriate of
the occasion and In the spirit which had
brought the members together were
asked and given. For hours the merry
host remained at the banquet board and
when the last toast was said all voted
the night one of exceptional enjoyment
and worthy. of the. purpose for which it
had been celebrated.

cost. so Mr.. Waldeck said yesterday, had
undoubtedly caused the st. Louis man to
look about for cheaper rabbit skins in
California.
Mr.. Waldeck believes that there is the
possibility in sight of making quite an in
dustry of growing rabbits for the sake
of their skins, in this State. He sees diff
fculties in the way of utilizing the rab-
bits killed in the drives. Many of the
skins are torn by dogs. The others are
more or less mutilated by the clubs used
to kill the animals. Rabbit skins have a
market value because the fur is available
for the manufacture of hats. The mil
lions of skins that he has imported have
all been sold to Eastern hat manufactur-
ers. To have the fur valuable 1t must
be in good condition. The rabbits must
be killed by some method less violent than
clubbing. possibly by shooting. The cost
of ammunition would increase the ex-
pense of the skins, but this would be
counterbalanced by getting a much
greater percentage in good condition. 80
My intention" said Mr. Waldeck, SIS
to hire half a dozen men or so to go hunt
ing for rabbits under my instructions at
day wages to ascertain what | can get
and also to find out the cost. If the. ex-
pertinent turns out well think that there
is an excellent chance to establish a con-
siderable rabbit industry here. The St
Louis man who has been mentioned in
the local papers is not the only one who
has recently begun to inquire about the
California rabbits There is one other to
my knowledge looking for California fur.
Whenever the cost of imported raw ma
terials used in manufacturing goes up
there is inquiry for some cheaper home
product, and that entirely explains the
present inquiry. am not, surprised at
