wreck at Dean Lake, Mo-, on Octo-

brought to the front, and institu-

was begun. Farm colonies, with the
object of assisting the poor, but

Ohio, Colorado and California. The
difficulties met with in their estab-

The first country, outside of Eng
land to be affected by the work of
the Salvation Army was America. AS
far back as 1872, when it was in its
embryonic condition, and was known
only as the christian Mission" one
of its converts, Brother Jermy,"
found his way to Cleveland. and
there, to use General Booths express
sion in answering his letters, raised
the banner of the mission" 1t was
impossible at that early date to send
reinforcements, and hence all the
work fell through with the departure
of Jenny. In 1879 a second start
was made by a family named Shir-
ley. This time It was in Philadelphia,
in an old factory. The urgent appeal
sent to General Booth met with an
immediate response. and in February,
1880, Commissioner George Scott
Railton, with a band of seven, landed
in New York city. Opposition, ridi-
cule, persecution and even imprison-
ment were met in those days. None
of those things, however, served to
dampen the ardor or quench the zeal
of the little band of workers, and ere
long it was apparent that the Saliva
ton Army had come to America to

FOR SAN MATEO

SAN MATEO, June 2S--The greatest
Improvement in the history OF San Mateo,
the macademizihg of the streets through
out the business center. is now practically
complete and represents both in the ex-
penditure of money and in the display
of enterprise on the part of citizens a
great step forward for the town. The
appearance of the whole business district
has been changed by these new pave
ments and an agitation has been started
to continue the work to include the resi-
dence sections of the city.
If this be done San Mateo will be one
of the most beautiful towns in Cali
fornia. The work has been rushed 10
completion in the expectation that fully
ten thousand visitors will be here dur
ing the celebration of independence day
The result has been so gratifying that
Ine proposition TO extend the Improvement
to the rest OF the town is meeting with
marked enthusiasm. In connection with
this plan is an. effort to induce the United
Railroads to extend its service farther
south in the city. Some time ago the
electric road people asked for franchise
to extend their road in this direction, but
on a show of opposition the matter was
not pressed. The people of the city now
want the Improvement, and IL Is believed
that their wishes will receive considera-
ton from the corporation A right OF
way may be obtained through the Hay
ward tract and ultimately. 1t is believed,
the electric railroad will be continued to

Four varieties of insects have settled

caterpillars eat the leaves and twigs.
Ii is proposed by Professor Woodwork
to thoroughly spray the oaks when the
caterpilIars are a few days old. hoping
by this means to prevent serious dam

Besides this moth, the trees are being

ties show the most gluten, and which dis
tricts seem TO produce the wheat that Is
richest in gluten.
Samples of wheat were taken last win
ter from warehouses throughout the
