Reports From New South Wales
Show Increased Progress.

/" HERE is a continued agricul-
tural and industrial activity in
New South Wales, according TO
Consul Orlando H. Baker. Writing
from Sydney, he gives the trade re-
turns of that State for 1905, as fol-
lows.
The $I7,ooo,ooo estimated to have
been produced last year in the dairy
ing and allied industries of New
South Wales include, in addition to
butter and cheese. the profits on
swine, poultry farming and the rabbit
industry. The butter exports weighed
nearly 100000 pounds, and brought
$4,ooo,ooo into the country. The out
put of bacon and hams has increased
nearly $50 per cent since 1906. Utiliz-
ing pest, the rabbit industry is rap
idly assuming the importance of a
staple. During the last year $3.50, 800
pairs of rabbits and hares were ex-
ported, likewise 4,5o3,o6I pounds of
rabbit and hare skins, the whole
amounting to SI,572, 200, or double the

News of the Wonnen's Clubs

n n important opening event oi
~ the club women's year will be
the meeting of the executive
board of the State Federation OF
Women's Clubs, which is to take place
on Thursday next in this city. This
will be the first of these meetings
since the general federation conyen-
ton, which took place in St. Paul
at the end of May, and there is much
of importance to discuss and matters
OF deep interest to all clubs will prob
ably come up. The board will meet in
the assembly room of the California
Promotion Committees building in
Union Square and so much business
IS expected to come up that it is
planned to hold session from 10
a. m to 8 p. m.
The State president, Mrs. Robert
Cotter Hill, will come down from her
home at Eldridge, Sonoma County,
for the occasion and the other mem
bers of the board are expected to ar
rive from various directions. Among
other prominent club women who will
be present are Mrs Murgotten of San
Jose, who is the first vice president of
the State federation; Mrs. Athearn Of
this city, the corresponding secretary;
Mrs. |. N Chapman of Alameda, the
recording secretary; Mrs. E. L. Bald
win of San Francisco, State chairman
of civics; Mrs. Bunting of Niles,
State chairman of history and land
marks; Mrs. Osborne, State chairman
of forestry.
Mrs. C. H. Ward, who was elected
president of the San Francisco district
of the State federation, has resigned
and several prominent clubwomen are
being considered by the officers of
the district, who will elect Mrs.
Wards successor.
The California Club has been great
ly exercised as to a meeting place for
the winter until the completion of
the new clubhouse, and committee,
consisting of Mrs. Z. L. Baldwin,
Madame Tojcttti and Mrs. L. E. Hay
ward, has been busily searching within
the past few weeks. 1t is about de-
cided now that the Sunday-school
rooms of the Calvary Presbyterian
Church on Fillmore and Jackson
streets will be chosen, although the
matter has not yet come up before the
board of directors and no official ac-
ton has been taken. 1t will probably
be definitely arranged at the meeting

the Outdoor Art League Department
OF the California Club, entertained
very delightfully."- number OF the
members of her department at a
luncheon at her home in Mill Valley
on Saturday last, the guests going
over on the II o'clock boat and re-
turning late in the afternoon after an
enjoyable day. There were many
matters OF importance in the league
brought up and discussed informally
and plans were also talked of for the
excursion to be made by the mem
bers OF the department early next
month. At the suggestion of Miss
Mary Gorham, one OF the most inde-
tatigable and enthusiastic workers of
the league, the members decided to
take trip around the city on one of
the sightseeing cars, hoping thus to
view the result of some of their i'm
provements and to discover other
features that require the magic beau
tifying touch of their efforts.
Nothing is claiming their attention
now more than the plan for the Gov
ernment purchase OF. the Calaveras

which are probably as distinctly char
acteristically Californian as ANYTHING
that can be found in the State and
among the famous natural beauties of
the world, are in danger of being
sacrificed to the greed of lumbermen
and it is one of the aims of Mrs.
Lowell White, firmly backed by her
department, to secure the preserva-
ton OF the trees. They have MANY
plans TO make it feature of the COM
ing political campaign and to secure
as well the aid of many of the promi-
ncnt men of the State.

today and also the exact day of the
reopening of the club season.
1t has been always the custom of
the club to hold the first meeting
after the summer vacation on the first
Tuesday in September, and as there
has been a general desire expressed
that as little difference as possible be
made between this and other years, it
is supposed that that day will be
chosen.
Just at present some of the clever
est women of the California Club are
concentrating their minds and energies
on the tenement house question and
they have asked as well the aid of
some of the leading mems organiza-
tions of the city as to the best meth
DDS. They have studied the matter
Tor some time past, have gone over
the building laws OF all the Eastern
cities, and, although they find the sub
ject large and difficult one, they
hope to reach definite conclusion
shortly as to what their recommends

will be.
The members of the committee,
Mrs. 5. S. Palmer, Mrs. J. w. Orr,
Mrs. Aaron Schloss and Mrs. E. L.
Baldwin, will hold a meeting this
morning at the home of Mrs. Orr.

board of directors of the club and
will consider further their plans.
They expect to send letters to the
Labor Council, the Federation of
Building Trades, the Commonwealth
Club, the Merchants Association. the
California Promotion Committee. the
tuberculosis committeesof the Caiifor-
MIA State Medical Society and other
organizations, requesting that repre-
scntativcs be sent from each to con-

bcrs of the Commonwealth Club be-
came so interested that they promised
their hearty cooperation in the ef-
fort to secure sanitary, comfortable,
attractive homes for working people

this matter is of especial importance
at the apresent time, as rents have
gone up to such an alarming extent

lVl ing of the new attractions at
the Orpheum, but in compara-
tive test she earns it. True, she en-
ploys fewer supernumeraries than the
lady who is "headlined' May Boley,
but what her act may lack in numeri-
cal appeal is more than offset by the
artistic quality of her individual
work. She delineates various phases
of feminine character in stage life
and shows that the woman who struts
in view of the audience can be a very
different kind of person when she
ceases to act and gives vent to her
natural self in the privacy of the
dressing-room. Thus she convinces
us that the meek and suffering hero
inc can be played admirably by a
virago and that the cigarette-smok-
ing villainess may be the soul of good
nature when the public isn't looking
at her. To do this acceptably re-
quires versatile talent, and Miss Nor
man proves herself well equipped
with that essential. Her final scene,
where she personates an ingenue
whose soul is struggling to simulate
piquancy while it is anguished by re-
cent intelligence of her mothers S
death, has eye-moistening effect on
the beholder.
But in her own line of entertain

His gag about the haughtiness of

funniest thing he tells. Each of them

valet has "sized up" the new patron
