The Bishops Mistake.

Bishop Jones was holding servi-
ces at a little log church in the
mountains of the South. Two
young mountaineers, proud par
ents of lusty youngster, presented
themselves before the Bishop to
have the child christcned. The
Bishop asked: "What name?"
The father of the child replied
"Beelzebub."
"No?" exclaimed the Bishop,
amazed that the Prince of Dark.
ness should be so honored. "No,
we'll call the child John. John
is a good name"
Whereupon he continued rapid

-" He signed with the sign OF
the cross and dismissed the par
ents.
They had become more and
more confused under the unwont
ed solemnity of the unfamiliar
ritual. The father stood on one
foot, shifting his weight on the
other; the mother was equally
disturbed.
When the two reached the dool
of the church the father turned

WESTERN WORLDS FAIR
Lewis and Clark Exposition which
Opens June 1, Awaits Presi-
dents Signal.

Portland, Ore, May %, 1907
The Lewis and Clark exposition,
which opens June /, is practically
completed, and will be ready in
every detail when President
Roosevelt, at the White House,
presses the button that will set
! in motion the chimes in one of
the towers of the government
building, and the strains of
"America" will proclaim to the
world that the Western World

The Fair has been more thAn
two years in building, and has
cost, 80 far. s., 100000, while ex-
hlbits in the various buildings are
valued at five times that sum.
The far is held to commemorate

and to advertise the resources OF
the 3O7 900 square miles of terri

added to Uncle Sans holdings on
the American continent.
While in some ways similar tc
expositions which have been held
in the past, the fair can boast OF
a site far more beautiful than any
ever before utilized for II similar
purpose, and a number of orig

TREATY URGED
WITH GERMANY
Reciprocity Pact Desired
by the American Chamber
of Commerce in Berlin
LETTER TO ROOSEVELT
Believed That the Time Is
Now Ripe for Opening of
Negotiations on Subject
LETTER TO ROOSEVELT

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-The American
Chamber of Commerce of Berlin con-
siders that the moment is favorable for
q movement. looking toward reciproc-
ity treaty between the United states
and Germany, and especially so be-
cause the new system of reciprocity
treaties which Germany has concluded
will probably affect American trade
adversely. The Chamber of Commerce
on December % sent a petition to Pres
ident Roosevelt, which in part follows:
The American Chamber of Commerce OF Ber-
lin, organized with the purpose of furtherins
good relations between the United States and
Germany, especially in the direction OF COM
mercial affairs, and including among its mem
bers leading concerns of both nationalities
trading between the two countries, would pray
that you urge upon Congress and the other
authorities the pressing need of prompt action
for a reciprocity treaty with Germany anu
also of laws and regulations for the ap-
praisal OF merchandise to replace the present
very faulty and often unjust system which has
been ard still is constantly causing much bit
terness of feeling among practically all the

SAYS RATE SUPERVISION
WILL AFFECT EMPLOYEES
President Tuttle of Boston and Maine
Road Talks of ROOse-
yelt'S Policy,

BOSTON, Jan. 15.-In an address be-
fore the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. Division 61 on the occasion
of it's fortieth anniversary to-day, Pres
ident Lucius Tuttle of the Boston &
Maine Railroad, spoke of President
Roosevelt's proposal that railroad rates
be regulated under Congressional su-
pervision and authority.
Tuttle declared that such a policy, If
carried out, must inevitably affect the
income of the 100000 persons who de-
rive their income directly from the
railroads. He did not think it had been
or could be shown that the makers of
the constitution ever had any, other
thought in mind in connection with the
delegation to Congress of the power to
regulate interstate commerce relations
than a well-defined intent to forever
prevent the erection by any State of
any customs, tariffs or other barriers
that should be an obstruction to the
free currents of commerce.
1.-THE railroads in 1903," he said,
were able only to pay their share
holders an average dividend of less
than per cent and any further general
reduction of rates must necessarily be
followed by reduction OF operating
expenses.

Early Morning Roll
Call Planned by
Retorners.
Special Dispatch to The Car

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15.-Consider
able excitement was manifested to-
night among the legislators when it
was announced that some day this
week, probably tomorrow, the minor
ity in both Houses would demand a
roll call of attaches. the minority in
this instance is that division of each
House opposed to the patronage meas
ures as passed, and which held that
for economy's sake the legislators
should reduce the patronage to the
minimum, say of $40 for the Senate and
Sc for the Assembly. They lost their
fight and now they are determined that
no matter how many were appointed
they must report tor duty and be at
least willing to labor should the neces-
Sity arise.
The claim is broadly made that at
past sessions about one-haif OF the
attaches OF both houses did no other
labor than to take the oath of office.
hypothecate their warrants and start
for home to take up their usual occu-
pations. Though there has been no evil
dence to date that this scheme will be
repeated the minority says it will take
steps to see that it. is not. 1t will see
that every attache reports to the ser
geant-at- t-armS at the usual hour. and
failing to do so will be reported to the
chairman OF the committee on attaches
for removal.
The small excitement of tonight is
due to the fact that many of the legis-
lators do not know whether their favor
ite appointes are in town and fear that
should the roll call be demanded be-
fore the word is well circulated 1t will
disclose an absence of employees of both
Houses that will discomf1t even the
most rabid advocate of generous pat
roAage.
Quite a number Of legislators and
lobbyists arrived from the bay cities on
the late trains tonight. Jere Burke
of the Southern Pacific was the most
prominent among the latter. and
though he confessed that there were
no more Senators to be elected. it was
said there was other work to do that
would require his presence here for a
few days.
The returning legislators experienced
conflicting emotions regarding the
minority scheme to demand a roll call
of all attaches, and the older heads.
though saying they had no objection
to such a course, pointed out that be-
fore the minority could carry through
it's plan, which might possibly en-
bassass the majority 1t would first have
to consult the majority and If the ma
jority should fail to see. things in the
light of the minority it's storming
would avail 1t little.

I'VE Want a Farm,
Not Buildings,
Say Ranchers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15.-Members of
the Legislature who represent farming
communities insist that the State shall
do something at once to promote the
agricultural interests of California. Re-
marks of this tenor are made:
The proposition to spend 100000 for
an agricultural building at Berkeley
and so cents for a farm is not accept
able. We want a farm of 500 or 900
acres, and it should not be in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Berkeley
There will surely be an interesting
contest when the several bills bearing
on the proposed appropriation come be-
fore the Legislature. Men who are fore
most in advocating what they term the
development of practical agriculture
the kind of development that will add
to the wealth of the State by inviting
young men to follow the pursuit of
farming for profit to themselveS-con-
tend that something more than theo-
retical instruction is demanded. The
splendid results achieved in Wisconsin,
Iowa and Minnesota by object lessons
in the cultivation of the soil, the breed
ing of livestock and the management of
dairies are cited by the advocates of a
farm.
One of the chief advocates of an ap-
preparation of 100000 for farm says:
In the first place, we want farm,
and later on an appropriation may be
made for building. The professors at
Berkeley who are familiar with the
subject understand that farm of
some magnitude is required. Our plan
is that the Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court, the president of the university
and the president of the State Agricul-
tural Society shall locate the farm.
When the location is made efforts to
enroll students will begin. The land will
be cultivated For example. in corn
planting rows of several varieties will
be planted one. month, a month later
and still month later other rows will
be planted. Careful data Of the growth,
the treatment and the production Will
be made. In this manner the product
in Iowa was increased 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els.
Our wheat, through lack of prac-
tical knowledge on the part of our
farmers, is not producing, so 1t is ar
gued, the flour of the high standard at
tanned years ago. The best flour of the
world should be produced here, as the
conditions of soil and climate are un-
surpassed, but intelligent methods of
treatment and cultivation of the land
must be taught by practical demon
stration.
"The output of our dairy farms
should be increased. Practical lessons
in feeding should be given. Proper mix
ture of food would double the product
of butter without increasing the cost OF
feeding.
above ALL something must be done
to allure young men to the farm by
making the industry remunerative. APP
plication of proper methods of cultiva-
ton will engage the intellect of the
farmer and Danish the drudgery Of or
binary farm life"

The proposed measure will impose an

that all who do not pay this license
shall forfeit their franchises. AS there

WARSAW, Jan. 15.-It is reported
from Kristokoff that at a revolutionary
demonstration on January there was

killed and a dragoon wounded. The
murderer was arrested.
General Trepoff, who recently was
relieved of the office of Chief of Police
of Moscow and ordered to the front to
take up his duties as head of the Red
Cross Society in Manchuria, incurred
the special enmity of the students of
Moscow by the severity with which he
put down their demonstrations of
December IS and 10, 1904. Within
one week, in 1902, there were three
attempts on his life. The first of these,
on March 81, was by a woman named
Allart, governess, VINO placed the
muzzle of a pistol against General
'Trepoffs breast and pulled the trigger,
the weapon, however, failing to dis
charge. -Four days later a man armed
with dagger tried to force his way
To the presence of GeneraI Trepoff with
the avowed purpose of killing him.
The would-be assassin was overpow-
cred and arrested. Within two days
after this incident, while Trepoff was
riding in his carriage. young man,
supposed to be a rusticated student,
sprang upon the step of the vehicle and
tried to stab him, but only succeeded
in slightly wounding policeman
After the anti government demon
