DILLON

DILLON WALLACE GIVES A
 BIRTHDAY PARTY IN LABRA-
 DOR.
 It occurred to me that 1t would be pleasant variation to give birthday dinner to Easton and to have a sort of feast to relieve the monotony of our daily life, and give the men something to think about and revive their spirits for 'bucking the trail' day after day with no change but the gradual change of scenery does grow lnonotonus to most men, and the ardor of the best of them, especially men unaccustomed to roughing it, will become damped in time unless variety, no matter how slight can be brought into their lives
 My instructions to Pete included the baking of an extra ration of bread to be served hot with the roast geese, and I asked Stanton, to try his hand at concocting some kind of a pudding out of the few prunes that still remained to be served with sugar as sauce, and accompanied by strong coffee. Our cof- fee supply was small and 1t was used only on Sundays now, or at times when we desired an especial treat.
 We were pretty tired when we re- turned with our second packs and dropped them on d. low. bare knoll some fifty yards above the fire where Pete and Stanton were carrying on their culinary operations, but whiff of roasting goose came to us like a tonic, and did not take us long to get camp pitched.
 "Um-um -um,t said Easton, stopping in his work of driving tent pegs to sniff the air now bearing to us appetiz- Ing odors of goose and coffee, that smells like home"
 You bet 1t does' assented Richards. T haven't been filled up for a week, but I'm going to be tonight"

HEARST IN DEFE4T.

The terrible Turk Is as terrible as ever, but the terrible Hearst doesn't seem to be. Since the election he has behaved we'll so well that some of his opponents are saying pleasant things of him. For instance, the Brooklyn Eagle says: It Is in order to confess that in defeat MT. Hearst is distinctly acceptable. There ,is no gnashing of teeth or foaming at the mouth. He is not threatening to get square at the expense of everybody in general, and of somebody in particular. He is not fuming and announcing his intention of pulling down the whole fabric, com mercial and social, He is as confident that the cause for which he fought will triumph as he is that the first faint flush of dawn foretells the full glory of the day.
 Perhaps defeat has been good for Mr. Hearst, and perhaps he wasn't quite as bad as they said he was. If he can wait as patiently as he seems 10 be doing now he may have his day, and if he doesn't he may see the end of many days which now look long.

THE FRENCH MINISTRY OF 1ABoR

l XIfE fhENAh II lu ENI0I VT IL4S bO1b M. Clemenceau has made report in relation to the new Ministry of Labor which he has instituted He recalls the fact that such ministry already exists I in New Zealand and Belgium, but that the original idea of 1t dates from the Republic of 1S4S Since then French So- cialists, including the Abbe Lemire, have more than once proposed such a ministry, M Clemenceau declares that the ministry already practically exists in the form of different bureaus of State administration. The assemblage of these various bureaus under a single head is what constitutes the originality of his plan. The new ministry will have to deal with everything concerning workingmen under contract. Labor contracts in all their aspects, whether they concern factory hands, workers in trade and industry, or agricultural la borers, are to form the chief object of attention Mines, also, except as re- gards the granting of concessions, come under it's supervision.
 In M. Clemenceau's view the new ministry will help to solve the social question. Henceforth there will be one spirit in French social legislation, for all varieties of workmen. Labor legis- lation will become more coherent. So- cial reforms will suffer less delay, and the solicitude of the State for the work ingmen will be so much clearer, he argues, that labor will be able to re- gard capital with less suspicion.

TARIFF REYISION.

Everybody isn't standing pat" Sen ator Cullom of Illinois thinks that it would be not only an act of justice, but good politics, for the President to call a special session of the new congress in March to revise the tariff. The veteran Illinois senator, whose reelection has just been assured by the vote of his State, and who Is one of the most saga cious politicians in his party, thus de- clares himself: There must either be a revision of the tariff next year or the Republican party must be prepared to take the consequences. I have talked to no one about 1t, but in my opinion March 4 next is the logical time for President Roosevelt to call a special session of congress to revise the tariff schedules. It cannot be done at the short session this winter. Revision is demanded by the people, and that amounts to saying it has got to be done.
 We believe there Is more truth than poetry in Senator Cullom's words. The Republican party must do several things pretty soon if 1t wants to retain the respect and love of the people.

4 RIG SCHL M-E.

Portugal isn't generally thought of as a very wide-awake country, and yet there are wide-awake people there About 10000, 900 acres, or A per cent, of the total area of Portugal, has gone out of cultivation, and there is a plan to bring 1t back. Some energetic members of society in the district of serpa, in combination with the municipal au- thorities, have set to work upon 100000 acres, dividing it up into all5tments of fifteen acres each and letting 1t at a nominal rent, calculated according to the estimated value of the land, which has four classifcations, the highest quit rent being placed at $3.20 and the lowest at 40 cents per allotment, free of local rates and taxes for ten years. Quite a heterogeneous mixture of set tiers has already taken possession of their tenements. Carpenters, masons, doctors, chemists, barbers, seamstre5s- es, tailors, and even beggars, figure in the list.
 One of the chief difficulties to be overcome before making the allotments was to deal with the proprietary rights of bee keepers, who centuries ago had certain privileges conferred upon them whereby they did thriving trade in honey and wax. This trade has in later times diminished, owing to the destruc- ton of the floral produce of the land. chiefly by firing when portions thereof were cleared for wheat and other ee- reals.

Some Faultfinding,

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Every citizen to a greater or less de- gree deplores the constant increase in our city expenses, largely resulting from the extensive improvements in our streets. It seems to the subscriber that much might be saved if the laborers, who feel themselves so greatly abused, would defraud the city less. No one can watch a company of men at work on the streets without seeing a consid- erable proportion of them idle. The undersigned recently counted ten in a gang of sixteen doing nothing. A little later twelve were standing leaning on their tools all the while drawing liberal pay from the helpless taxpayers. l have noticed this abuse, as we'll as the pains taken on the part of the laborer not to injure himself by too active work, for years past, and that not al- ways in the absence of the overseer.
 This deponent would like to express himself as opposed to the expending of a large sum of money for library site when the building which is to be erect ed would be an ornament to tne Green

The wireless telegraphy will be used on board the torpedo craft of the navy to limited extent, and the first of the boats of that class to receive the apparatus will be the Whipple one of the destroyers, which is used as the flagship of the commanding officer of the fotilla in home waters. It is possi- ble that one of the torpedo boats on the Pacific coast and one on the Asiatic station will be similarly equipped, but the action will be delayed until after the installation on the Whipple has been fully tested. Wireless on torpedo boats will have its uses, or course, but there will be a decided limit to the means of communication, since the ships cannot carry tall masts, and it is considered that one boat equipped with the apparatus will serve all the pur- poses required. The Whipple will be equipped at the navy yard at League Island.

A new feature of the New York Bo- tanical Garden will be an economic patch, devoted to specimens of growing plants which are of practical use to man. A great many economic plants have already been brought together in the conservatories, but these are nat urally from warm or tropical regions, and the new collection is intended to show such as are hardly in this lati- tude. Planting will be begun very soon, and will be continued next spring. Following the classification of the plant products in the economic museum, the groups of the species grown here will consist of food, drug and fibre plants, and those yielding miscellaneous prod ucts used in arts, sciences and indus tries.

FAMED WHITE House
OPENS TOMORROW
Important Event in the Stupendous
Work Of Restoring San
Francisco.
Recreated Institution Is on North
west Corner of Van Ness
Avenue and Pine Street.

One of the leading events in the
restoration of San Francisco will be
the reopening of the White House
Raphael, Veil & Co. The event will
take place tomorrow, July %, and sure
~ a vast throug of the resident popula-
ton and many delegations from Oak
land, Sacramento, San Jose, San Rafael
and other cities will celebrate the oe-
casion. The White House is an insti-
tuition of San Francisco which appeals
especially TO the women of the metrop-
oils in particular, and to the men and
women of the State in general The
history of the house for q half century
is familiar to the business and social
communities of the Pacific Coast.
The opening tomorrow will have spe-
cial significance in view of the fact
that a stock of goods nowhere sur
passed in the United States for quality
and amplitude is ready for display in
a fashion and amid surroundings that
viii surely enchant the visitors.
The idea of business rivalry has not
Raphael Well He is receiving hourly
chants in all departments of industrial
activity for his success in the stupen-
dous work of restoring TO the retail
prestige of San Francisco one of the
features that rendered the city so at
tractiye and in a sense promoted pros
perity In many other lines of retail
commerce.
The recreated White House on the
northwest corner of the fameus Van
Ness sTenue and Pine street present
an interior scene of enchanting beauty.
The appointments are almost as COM
plete and perfect as human art and
enterprise can produce. An incident
especially gratifying to Mr.. Well and
his partners is the fact that all the en-
ployes of the house who We're with the
firm in April last, prior to the great
fire, will be at their respective sta
tions tomorrow. hence the event will be
more than an opening: 1t will take on
the character of a reception and an
exchange of greetings.
The facilities of transportation by
street railway. automobile and car
rfages will be brought into reouisition
10 convey the multitude of visitors to
that section of Van Ness avenue. In
honor of the event the exterior of the
new house will be decorated in style
that will appeal to the cosmopolitan
taste of the community.
The ladies will recognize al glance
that the fabrics unfolded for inspec-
ton are of that quality which has made
the White House famous. Mr.. WE'LL
has no idea of imposing emergency
tolls. although the cost of installation.
the expense of providing for the con-
venience of shoppers. and the outlay
to diminish the danger of fire or acct
dent have been considerable. Every
thing, however. is in excellent fashion
for the opening. Surely tomorrow will
be great day for the women of San
Francisco. The reunion on Van Ness
avenue will be worth a study.
