man sprawling over twice the seat
area that was necessary to him. In
dlgnantly the physician said to his:
"See here! Why don't you move q
little so that this tired woman may
have a seat?" For moment the Ger

smile spread over his countenance as
ne answered: Say dots a joke on
you. all right! Dots my vife!"

Head of Navigation.

Minneapolis-For the first time in
many years, a large steamship passed
up the river under the Lake st. bridge
to the government dam. 1t was the
United States steamship Mckenzie, an
old sidewheeler of the earlier type, and
was about 125 feet long.
A large crowd, attracted by the nov
city, gathered on the bridge and
watched 1t as it made it's way slowly
but surely up the stream. On board
was a large group of visitors. 1t
seemed to have no difficulty in navi-
eating, and followed rather closely to
the st. Paul shore.
When it reached the dam, it turned
around and proceeded down stream
almost Immediately.

Fire in New Capital.

The new state capital building was
threatened with fire. A few minutes
after Charles Truax, the night watch
man, went to work at o'clock in the
evening, he saw smoke coming from
the basement Of the building. The
superintendent and electrician were
called from their homes. but the fire
could not be located for some time.
Finally flames burst from window on
the west side and then an alarm was
sent in.
Two Minneapolis fire companies re-
sponded and the fire was found In
the file room of the Historical society.
The flames were running through the
racks Of newspapers and other doc
uments, and burning them on the outer
edges. The flames were extinguished
after an hours work. The damage is
unknown, as the records have no value
except for their antiquity. How the
fire started is a mystery. but it is
thought to have been caused by cleo
trio wires.

CALCULATION
 BY MINING FXPFRI
Professor PrOut Saw $50 Feet Into
 the Earth.

Perhaps the mos. remarkable feat in geological calculation on record Is credited to Professor Prout of Tue son according to information which reached Phoenix from Tucson yester- day. The accuracy of the calculation had just been shown by a telegram which had reached Tucson from Casa Grande. The calculation had been made by the Professor at the Christ mas Gift mine twenty eight miles south of Tucson about two months ago,
 There had been discovered in the mine along in the early eighties a very rich deposit of gold but that seemed to be all there was of it. Not withstanding the most diligent search no trace of it's origin could be dis covered. The mine was finally secur- ed by Col William Griffith and E. P Drew by whom' it was sold sometime ago to Denver parties. It was at thei: .nstigation that Professor Prout visit ed the mine.
 After a careful examination Of geologic conditions Ee said that the dyke would he found at a depth of 350 feet and at a point ninety feet south of the bottom of the shaft The own CTS of the mine acting upon this ad- vice began sinking and having reach ed the depth named by the professor they cross cut. The telegram stated that at point exactly eight tyTseten fe | south of the bottom of the shaft the hidden dyke was encountered.

Wholesale merchants who have their
stocks stored in the frame warehouses
In the vicinity of Kentucky street are
having great difficulty in getting in
surance.
The rate placed by Alfred Stillman,
the head of the Pacific Coast Under
writer's Union here, was an average of
about II per cent on these stocks. The
insurance companies themselves are
charging an advance of 2h per cent
on this rate, and even then they are
not willing to place the amount of in
surance that the merchants require.
The stocks now stored in this district
are worth millions of dollars. and up
to the present time only about 20 per
cent Of this has been issued.

RECORDS RITRNED

nentYT
There were formerly ten United
States land Offices in California that
were distributed throughout the State,
being placed at such points that they
were supposed 10 be made as accessible
as possible to all persons in various
sections. Then a consolidation was
effected IN some instances and the num-
Der OF offices reduced, so that the seek
ers for Government land and for val
liable information about land were
compelled to travel farther from home
to be informed and to act.
During a period of many years the
local land office in San FRANCISCO oc-
cupied an entire floor in the United
States Sub-Treasury building on Com
mercial street Here were stored
thousands OF pIatS, maps and records
that reached back, in point Of time,

were all destroyed by the IRE Of

CENTS A DAY
FOR THE HUNGRY.
In June That Sum Was
Allowed Each Person
Given Raw Foodstuffs
NEW RECORD MADE

Four cents day for raw food was
the allowance per capita made to those
drawing supplies from relief station No.
434 during June. Superintendent Rus
sell Dunn of that station in his report
for June goes into the facts and figures
unsparingly. Those receiving food sup
plies are divided into two classes-ref-
ugees fed at the Desmond Company
kitchens at a per capita Of 1880 and
those given raw foodstuffs at cost of
s1.20 month each, or cents day.
Mr.. Dunn shows that those receiving
raw material received per capita trifie
over two ounces of meat a day, less
than a half ounce of -four, less than
five ounces of all -four and cereal prod
uets. so white beans. 40 coffee berries,
Il of 1 prune, IA teaspoons OF sugar,
almost II ounce of cheese-at a total
daily cost of cents.
II beg respectfully to suggest" says
Mr.. Dunn, that the quantity of cheese
might be reduced and that OF prunes
increased. Prunes cost less per pound
than cheese, but probably it is best to
consider 1t a matter of Individual taste,
with which economical considerations
should not under the circumstances be
allowed to conflict. The per capita ex-
pense per day for raw food relief was
cents, and, assuming it was con-
surned in three meals, the expense per
l.
cents.
MATTER FOR RECORD.
Il beg respectfully to suggest that
this actual accomplishment should be
made a matter of permanent record for
the aid It will give in the study of some
OF the sociological problems of political
economy. Some eminent professor of
this science published the results of ex-
perimehts conducted, SO he declared, on
some members of his family, which
proved to him that cents-or it might
have been 6 cents-was a possible mini
mum of per capita daily expense for
raw food. His conclusion was so strong
ly denied by other eminent professors
that he undertook its vindication by
trying it on himself. 1t is too bad that
he is dead now and cannot have the sat-
isfaction of knowing that his food the
ory is proved by the remarkable accom-
plishment of the Red Cross relief or
ganization which this report records.
1t is quite clear now that the professor
was conservative rather than radical
in his conclusion that 5 cents per cap
ita per day for raw food was enough
expense We know now that 1t need
not be so much money"
INTERESTING DEDUCTIONS.
The difference in the cost of provid-
ing for those who received raw food,
$1.20 month, and those who ate at the
Desmond Company kitchens, $3.50 a
month, is shown and the following ex-
ample given:
"a striking illustration of the differ
ence is the case of one family, mother
and FIVE children, who had meals at the
Desmond kitchen in June at an expense
to the Red Cross and consolidated re-
lief funds of $751;. whereas had raw food
been delivered the expense would have
been s6. This family took the more
expensive food strongly protesting
a against being compelled to take it in
stead of raw food"

DEWNE BELIEVES
IN FAST WORK.
Spend Money Quickly
butWisely and Prevent
Pauperism, He Says

BERKELEY, July 17-"Spend the re-
lief money as freely and as quickly as
possible, and of course wisely. In
this way the greatest good will be done
and danger of encouraging tendency
to pauperism Will be best avoided"
In the foregoing words Dr. E. T.
Devine. agent for the National Red
Cross Society, concluded an hours dis
cussion of relief work in San Francis
CO before a large audience in Hearst
Hall tonight. Dean Earnest Moore OF
the University summer school intro
duced DR.. Devine.
Devine said the extraordinary feat
ure of relief work was the unanimity
of the three principal agencies nat
urally most concerned in its operation,
military, municipal and Red Cross. He
declared that in every important meas
ure or policy adopted these three
branches had always been in harmony.
All credit theirs; all blame, If any,
theirs.
The chances were against such har-
mony, the speaker said; such unity was
not common where other great disas-
ters had called for relief work. The
CO the benefit of the harmony, he
said.
"Regardles of what structures may
have been passed upon relief work"
said DR.. Devine, II declare that at no
time since April 1S has any person
in San Francisco gone hungry of ne
cessity. That is something"
Three agencies were praised specifi-
cally by Devine for great relief work.
Citizens who almost spontaneously or
ganized for relief measures in the first
day Of the disaster came first. He
warmly commended the militia. WHICH
he asserted had demonstrated its right
TO the toast God Bless the Army
which toast he declared would have
deeper significance now in San Fran
cisco.
Red Cross work had all been har-
monious and he, as it's agent, had en-
Joyed the cooperation of all chari-
table associations--a mighty desidera-
tum Devine said the bread line and
the clothes line would doubtless be
done with by July 80. Then the work
would be almost all for rehabilitation.
The speaker described the measures
adopted during the last fortnight for
permanent quarters for all classes of
refugees, declaring that at the begin
ming he believed such permanent
Quarters, including good houses and
shelter for all, were most important.
Hence his delight that the finance COM
mittee had decided to spend more than
$S,ooo,VuO Tor such houses and other
shelter.
