HOTELS
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Rapid Progress Is Being Made to
Accommodate the Visitors Who
Are Expected Next Winter.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13:-Bus-
mess interests of nonresident prop
Eerty owners, together with the fas-
cination to travellers presented by the
P~hoenix-like growth of the new city,
is bringing an increasing travel to
San Francisco. Every effort Is be-
ing made to provide accommodations
for transient guests. The st. Francis
Grill Room will be able to feed the
guests who will temporarily abide in
a picturesque wooden annex now De-
ing erected in Union Square, and
which will be ready for occupancy by
the first of July. The completion OF
the Paramount will be rushed n is
promised for January. ~.
The pioneer down town notel Will
probably be the Oaks Hotel, a ten
story class A building. proposed for
immediate erection on the site OF the
old hotel on Third street.
The Toy Hotel, to be INSTRUCTED
on the site of the former Union
Square Market, Powell n O'Farreli,
is planned to have all modern, fire
proof Notwithstanding metal doors
and window castings. Structure VIII
contain 450 rooms and is
to cost about a half million dollars.
Inc O0md0Q lot Hl6h Siooo opoiI
ments will be met by the early con-
lstruction of a number of commodious
buildings, the plkns for which are at
ltracting attention through their many
UNIQUE features combined with abso-
tlute security sfrom fire. Prominent
will be the Denicke Apartments on
Mason and Sacramento, to contain
$500 rooms, and involving an expend-
liture of nearly $1,000, 900. II these
iplans are carried out, the building
Twill make a most harmonious neigh
Dor for the handsome Paramount
across the street.
Suffer street will have a steel and
reinforced concrete building designed
flor bachelor apartments. 1t is to
lhave 200 connecting rooms arranged
in suites, each with its W bath.
On Mason, between Bush and Pine,
the Daniels Apartments will likely
be among the first to rise in-this pop
ular residential district.
Old San Francisco, famous the
world over for her hotels and restaur-
ants, will be surpassed in this re-
spect by the new city.
The immediate building of so many
high-class and artistic structures,
scattered over the entire area OF the
burned district, will have a most
beneficial effect on the style of archi-
lecture which will dominate the new
city.

Since last we met the silent reaper
has invaded our ranks and gathered
sisters and brothers into that paradise
above, not made with hands eternal in
the heavens. These men and women
have finished their work and have done
it ably and WE'LL They devoted the
best part of their lives to promote and
advance. the cause we love SO well,
to make happier and more prosperous
farm homes, to elevate and improve
socially, to advance the cause of good
citizenship, to perpetrate devotion to
justice among men and implant in the
hearts of the American people a love
for and to observe the Golden Rule.
We will miss them Their families
will miss them. But their pure and
noble example will live to aid, sustain,
and guide us in the work of the order

Conclusion.
Let this be one of those gala occa-
sions when the hearts of our members
are gladened by the presence of our
brothers and sisters from the different
parts of our State. We are glad to
witness such splendid demonstration
as we have here to-day. AS we gather
in annual reunion with those who
have contributed to the upbuilding of
our order, there rise grave thoughts
of the responsibility which rests upon
those who now comprise it's fraternal
host The result of years Of growth
and of progressive development is
ours, a legacy from the brothers Of the
past. Ours then the duty of maintain
ing the orders purity, of keeping it
true to its mission of helpfulness, of
Strengthening its influence upon the
world. Ours the duty of maintaining
its progressive character, of keeping it
abreast of the times. Let US not for
get that,
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth,
We must.upward still and onward,
If we keep abreast of truth.

James Wilson, Secretary of Agri-
culture made the official announce
ment that the corncob has useful
and profitable mission to perform in
American industrial life. The Sec
rotary has been experimenting at a
distillin9l factory near Hoopestown,
ILL.,, and has discovered that cerncobs
scan be converted into alcohol in
sufficient quantities to Justify the
erection of distilling plant in con
nection with the cannery."
"simple methods of fermentation
were employed in securing the aleo-
hol from the cobs," says the Secre-
tary, sand II gallons to the ton of
green cobs was produced. 1t this
rate, the experts have figured out
that over million gallons of alcohol
could have been distilled from the
corncobs and cornstalks produced in
the corn crop of 1905 in Iowa alone.
Put to use as a motor power, that
amount of alcohol would be capable
of propelling car seating 70 people
at speed of 55 miles an hour for
nearly million miles. 1t is pointed
out that the danger of trolley lines
in the downtown thoroughfares of
the large cities may lead to the sub
stitution of alcohol for electricity as
a motive power.
at had been generally accepted
theory with the Department that
sweet cornstalks would produce
larger percentage of altohol than the
common field corn, but the expert
ments at Hoopestown did not prove
this to be the case. From the ex-
periments it is estimated that the
cost of production will not exceed
3 cents per gallon. Not only would
this by-product be of value in itself,
but it is predicted that the result Of
It's manufacture WOnld be to decrease
the price Of canned corn and better
the quality, or give the consumer
more corn and less chicken feed.

So aroast beef" in cans-is really
boiled beef, and it may continue to
be thus labelled, provided the label
explains that the name is a false one
and that the stuff was prepared in p
pot and notin an oven. 1t will then
be easy, says the New York Tribune,
to answer the conundrum, "When is
roast beef not roast beef" When it
comes out of a can, stupid But
then, it is proverbial that veal pie is
kittens, and what's the odds, SO long
as you're hungry?

coRNN THE CRIB.

"Corn in the crib the equivalent Of
money in the bank" has been the
motto of the farmers since the begin
ming of the Mckinley Administra-
ton. The corn crop is bigger this
year than ever before, and the far
mers are getting more money for it,
Under the policies of the Republican
party, with protection and sound
money, the corn crop has become as
staple as that of wheat. 1t makes
no difference to the farmer in com
putting his yearly income whether
the corn is cribbed or its money
value is in the bank, so staple has its
market value become.
This change from the days when
corn was gathered and used as fuel,
and then the surplus could not be
sold at profit, has come under Re
publican Administration. 1t has
come since the enactment of the
Dingley law, which gave protection
/ to the farmer as well as to the man
ufacturer, and will continue with our
continued prosperity, The value of
this crop was more than billion and
quarter dollars last year, and will
be more valuable this year. The
corn crop this year would pay off
the National Debt and leave a sur
plus.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
there has been a large increase in the
banking facilities in the agricultural
districts of the West Instead of
being borrowers the farmers are now
depositors and lenders. This fortu-
nate condition is the direct result of
the Republican policy of increas-
ing domestic consumption by pro-
tecting domestic producers. And
vet there are professional pessimists
who try to persuade the farmers that
there is no prosperity in this country
except for the millionaire who is Dor
rowing the farmers money to ex-
plot great enterprises. Once let the
pessimists get control of the Govern
ment and they will demonstrate that
their teachings are true as gospel.
They did it in 1892 when they
elected Grover Cleveland aud a
Democratic House and Senate, and
they would do it again if the people
should elect a Democratic House this
year. With the promise of Demo
cratic President, two years hence,
the corn would remain in the crib,
or be sold, as it was under the last
Democratic Administration, at a price
that would yield no profit to the
producer.
