COLD DRIVES WOLVES
INTO CALIFORNIA

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 7.-One eff
feet Of the extreme and continued cold
weather in the north and in the Rocky
mountain region is to flood Southern Cali
fornia with gray wolves.
These animals heretofore have been prac-
tically unknown here, the coyote being the
sole representative of the wolf tribe. AS
the result of this class of tourists, the
ranchers are suffering severe losses of sheep
and poultry, and the hunter is having a
brand new kind of sport.
The gray wolf is AN exceedingly timid
animal and he seldom energies into the
open in the daytime. In such sections as
are timbered or have abundance of brush
and in the canyons in the mountains,
where caves abound, he may be stalked
in the daytime. One hunter recently shot
seven o the animals in a small canon a
few miles from this city. The fact that
all the animals had a heavy coat of fur
was proof conclusive that they had recent
ly come from a colder climate than this.
Parties are being organized to make
systematic search of the wild sections of
country hereabouts, to try to rid the
country of the ravenous beasts.

JAPAN'S FOREIGN TRADE
Is INCREASING RAPIDLY

KOBE, Japan, March 7--Japanese direct
foreign trade has assumed such proportions
that here is now no question concerning
its future progress.
Until 1901 the customs returns showed
its extent annually, but this feature of the
foreign trade has been eliminated from
that document.
Much of the foreign trade of Japanese
merchants is with eastern countries, but
they are also making gains as competitors
of American and European merchants at
the open ports.
Japanese merchants have entered into
the. importation of cotton, wool sugar,
rice, flour, locomotives, rails, iron manu-
features, machinery, pulp, etc. The Jap
anese government imports all the leaf to-
bacco received into the country, and
handles the camphor produced both in
Formosa and Japan.
As far as japanese direct foreign trade
is concerned, the inroads made by native
merchants have dbeen less noticeable be
cause of the increase of business at the
open ports, and that is not the feature for
CONSIDERATION, as the SHecLS or japanese
competition are felt by the minimizing of
profits upon the foreign business
japanese merchants are extending their
efforts in the manufacture and exports of
teas, and it is possible that this may be
done somewhat in the spirit of rivalry; but
it must be conceded that without the aid
of resident foreigners engaged in the tea
trade Japanese teas would never have been
introduced abroad to any considerable ex-
tent. The foreign merchant has opened
the foreign trade, and although he may be
compelled to gradually relinquish larger
proportion of his business, the time is
not at hand when this can be done without
detriment to the interests of japanese COM
merce.
The increase of tea exports to all eoun-
tries during the first six months of 1903
amounted to 81, 1858 wnle the increase
to the United States alone amounted to
81, 1856, l4l.
Practically the total export of mating
from Japan is made at Kobe and goes to
the United States.

SHALL THE SALOON KEEPERS AND
GAMBLERS DICTATE CITY'S POLICY?

Rev. John Reid of the Fast Congrega-
tional church last night took for his sub.
ject, Politics and Religion; or Render
Unto Caesar the Things that Are
Caesars" His text was Matthew. chap
ter xxi, verse 81: Render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars and unto God
the things that are Gods"
Mr.. Reid discussed the circumstances
which were the immediate cause of
the words being spoken, and told of
the conditions that existed in those days.
Christ had been asked if it was lawful to
pay tribute to Caesar. Taking coin which
had on it Caesars image, he replied to
his crafty questioners in the words of the
text. "By that answer said the speaker,
"the question was raised from a purely
local one and q worldwide principle was
laid down for all ages"
He called attention to the fact that
the Christian was charged with the respon
sibility of keeping the world as free as
possible, and that the solution OF the Ques
ton Of good government rested entirely
upon the Christian. He urged Christian
men to be true to these trusts, and said
Gin order that you may be able to do
this, go to the primaries and see to it
that the best available men are nominated
Fail at your PERIL
80 far as he general question of choos
ing men and voting for them is concerned,
it is always safe rule to watch on which
side the wolves and jackals, the foul birds
of prey and the vampires that suck the
hfeblood of our strongest sons and fairest
daughters, are allied. 1t is safe to be on
the other side. BE not psrtalSers of other
mems SINS The issue before this and
every other city on this coast at civic
elections is summed up in this question;
Shall the city be free and open city for
the admittance and (so-called) regulation
of vice, or shall righteousness and justice
obtain and prevail"
THAT there were good men on the side
of the lost cause, such as Stonewall Jack
son did not make the cause of the South
one whit more righteous. Nor when few
good men have had the wool pulled over
their eyes does it makes a questionable
party right. Be not deceived. That which
makes for clean and righteous city must
ennoble and enrich it eventually. All that
tends to unrighteousness and vice degrades
and impoverishes it.

by Josiah Flint, and it deals with these
various subjects. The author became one
of these people and made a close study of
the questions OF graft as it exists in Chi.
cago, Cincinnati aud the various other
large Eastern cities. He states that Chi
cago is known as an open town and does
not expect to be otherwise. New York is
charged with being a dishonest town,
because it pretends to be closed.
"fhe first thing that a CRATER seeks to
know in city what is the attitude of the
mayor and the police? Do they want
closed or an open town? If no hospitality
is shown towards grsfters, they will move
on to the next town. The plumber Of
grsfters that there is in any community
depends chiefly upon the attitude of the
city authorities. Their position in turn
largely depends upon public sentiment.

forces at work In Tacoma at the present

christian Citizens in a World of Graft I
was the theme Of stirring sermon by Rev.
A. H. Barnhisel Of the First Presbyterian
church last evening This was the third
sermon Of series OF four on the Chris
tian. Rev. BaInhisel preached in fear
less manner. He spoke of the municipal
campaign that al present is being waged
in this city, and he denounced those poll
ticians who are in favor of an open
town.
Among other things, the speaker said:
cit seems queer that when men are given
capiaincics in times Of peace they will use
their power for Their own personal ag-
grandizement Instead OF this, they should
exert their influence in service for their
fellow men There are men who, in time
of war, will 20 out and bleed for their
country. but ia time of peace they bleed

AN INTERNATIONAL
BOARD OF HEALTH

PARIS March From October 10 till
the beginning of December, meetings have
been held in Paris for the purpose of de-
wishing the best means for the prevention OF
epidemics. The meetings had adopted the
name Of an international sanitary confer.
enee. The first object was to agree upon
period of observation time in case OF
suspected plague.
Up to now it had been deemed neces-
sary to keep human beings and freight sus.
pected OF infection by plague baeilh under
close observation for 10 days.
The conference has arrived at the con.
clusion that the period can be reduced to
five days.
1t has been the aim of the conference
on the one hand to find the best possible
guaranty for the public health but on the
other hand to choose the measures for this
purpose so as to interfere with interna.
tional commerce in the least degree.
For the present oaly the PRINCIPLES for
prevention of plague and cholera were dis
eussed. Before adjournment motion was
made to create an international health
board as permanent institution. having
It's main office in Paris.
