THE INCREASED HEAT PRICES
a Greater Demand Said to BE Re-
spOnsfbIe for the Rise.

a Greater Demand Said to BE Re-
sPOnsibIe for the Rise.
NEW YORK, June AT the Office Of
Armour & Co. it was said today that an
increased demand, which prevails through
out the country, is responsible for the rise
IN the price Of beef and pork. 1t is not
alone the big fellows who are putting it
up said q representative Of the firm.
They would sooner have it cheaper. for
they can do larger business then with
less capital
Retail prices on beef have already risen,
about 2 cents pound OF steaks and l
cent on roasts- It IS expected that they

BY the wholesalers.
Enquiries as 10 the cause Of this re-
suited IN the information that the SIM

the demand is heavy At one of the
bTancn houses Of probably the largest
Wnolesale meat concern in the United
states II was stated this morning that
the advances which have caused the re-
tailers TO put UP the price OF the meat
was due 20 the fact that the supply Of
cattle in the West was short and tist the
chicago stock yards were unable to turn
out enough dressed beef to supDIy the de-
Snand at the usual figures.
The shortage in dressed beef is nothing
unusual at this season Of the year. the
dealers say, and the cool weather pre-
Taient IN the past six weeks has resulted
IN q more general consumption Of beef. in

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Army Cauteen Matter Again
Before the Commissioners

Reply to Mrs Clinton Smiths Com
Inspection of All Packages of
Flour COmpuIsory-Ofher Matters
Mrs Clinton Smith, President of the
Washington Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, recently addressed the Com
missioners enclosing a newspaper clip
ping relative to the sale of intoxicating
liquors. disorder, etc. in the vicinity of
Fort Myer and the Arsenal since the clos
ing of the army canteen- Fort Myer be
ing outside of the jurisdiction of the Com
! missioners. it was possible only to Sc
cure Information relative to the Arsenal
in South Washington Investigations
were made by Liuet. 2. T. NcCathran,
of the Fifth precinct. and by Lieutenant
Hollinberger, of the Foss-th precinct The
reports agreed that there had been no in
crease of saloons in the vicinity Of the
Arsenal within three years. and that
there had been no increase of disorder
since the closing of the army canteen.
Lieutenant HolIinberger stated in his re-
port that about the time the canteen was
abolished the Eleventh Infantry, which
was posted at the arsenal created con-
siderable disorder at the saloons in the
neighborhood. He cites one instance in
which several soldiers entered a saloon
near the gate and acted in a very disOr-
" manner, threatening to break up all
the barrooms in the vicinity. Lieuten-
ant HoIliubcrger states that the disOr-
der was shoTt-Iived, especially as the
Eleventh Infantry was soon after or
dered away and the disorder then ceased
Lieutenant Hoilinberger states that the
disorder seemed to grow out of the dis
pleasure of the soldiers at the abolition
of the army canteen-
Mrs. Smith has been informed by the
Commissioners in accordance with the
gist of these reports.

Andrew 8. Duvau, the Attorney for the
District, has submitted to the Commits
sioners his opinion upon the inspection Of
-four After reviewing the law applicable
to the matter, the Attorney takes the
ground that the regular inspection &C
cordfns to law is compulsory, Replying
to the request of the Commissioners, Mr.
DuvaH says:
Il have the honor to say that the act
Of Congress regulating the inspection Of
-four in the District OF Columbia. APPROX
ed December q, 1898 was intended TO pro-
vide general system for such iuspec-
don The sixth section of said act was
amended May IS, 1900. As amended it re-
quires that each and every barrel, half
barrel, or sack of -four manufactured in
the District or brought to the same for
sale or to be manufactured into bread
shall be subject to the eXaminatiO OF the
inspector by bOriHgS and searchings, etc,
that ne shall st the time of his inspection
mark or brand the same and that for such
inspection he shall have and receive of
the owner or agent certain compensation;
and no barrel, half barrel, OF sack Of flour
not examined and branded by the InspeC-
tor shall be sold IL the District OF Column
bia under a penalty Of a specified fine
I am Of the opinion that under said
act Of Congress as amended the inspection
Of ali -four in the District Of Columbia
is compulsory
The clause referred to by the Attorney
in the amendment approved May %, 1909,
reads And no barrel, half barrel. or
sack Of -four not examined and branded
by the Inspector as aforesaid shall be sold
within the District under fine Of 81 for
each and every barrel, hall barrel or

The bowling games played by the jolly
Fat Men and Saengerbund teams at the
Fat Mems alleys. on December 13. complet-
and below are the records of the forty-two
players who have participated in the games.
These figures are taken from the records
Of Mr.. c. E. Brown. the official scorer Of
the league. and are therefore accurate.
Some Of the players who were at the top
Of the list at the close Of last seasons
play are well down the line at present, but
1t is more than likely that men like Bros
nan, Harlow, Laue and Rodr1ck will soon
force their way higher up. Each year the
standard of excellence moves higher, and

peared as yet, though the 900 notch will
doubtless soon be reached. The coveted
thousand game has never been bowled in
the league, and 1t Is probably long way
of.
The season to date has been very sue
cessful, large crowds being such regular
features of the games that 1t has ceased to
be matter of comment.
There has been q great falling off in the
number Of contests with Baltimore teams,
and this Is greatly to be regretted, as these
fntercity games have always been attended
with great interest. They broaden the ex-
perience Of the bowlers and are always
viewed by very large number Of specta
tors.
There is some talk Of the organization of
an ali-Washington team to contest with
similar Baltimore team and something def
mite about this will probably be done after
the holidays.

Gold In Japan.
,ndo0 Sfapde I'd


Mr.. Consul Playfair. in a foreign office
report on the trade Of Hakodate for 1900.
says that the washing for gold dust Is
being energeticaIly carried on, and there Is
reason to believe that the utilization Of
proper machinery will render 1t possible to
work the gold mines Of Hokkaido with fair
profit. Two foreign firms and a Japanese
capitalist of Yokohama are reported to have
decided on inviting experts from Califor-
MA II learn from two foreign miners,
who spent the greater part Of last year at
the mines in Esashi province, that the out
put for the year will probably be some
what less than In 1899. owing to stricter
supervision. The gold Is all surface gold.
obtained by washing Labor is good and
plentiful, and modern appliances are being
adopted. The system hitherto in vogue,
whereby proprietors, for a small considera.-
ton, granted permits to all and sundry to
work for themselves, Is being done away
with, as great deal Of harm was caused
by ignorant workers and much damage
are In the hands OF three or four proprie-
tors, who are, moreover. making efforts to
acquire as much more land In the vicinity
as they can obtain. Fine timber Is plentf-
full The greatest difficulty encountered is
the severity of the floods. In July and Au-
gust the rains are heavy, and rivers may
rise four or five feet in a night: but, for
tunately. they subside very rapidly. The
season may be said to last from April to
October. after which date the weather is
too severe for profitable work Now that
the circumstances are better understood
1t Is anticipated that better results will be
obtained"

before next fall. The question has been
frequently agitated within the past few
years, but the financial condition OF the
Agricultural Society has not heretofore
been such as to permit OF the necessary
outlay. The society is now said to be in
good shape. and it Is stated that at the
annual meeting to be held here early in
