SAN FRANCISCO, May 10-The bark
George Curtis has completed her re-
pairs and is now in the stream ready to
make another attempt to get to Homo
lulu Her last attempt was dis
astrous one, resulting in a collision
which caused the death of the second
mate and nearly that of the captain.
besides Gripping the vessel and COM
pelling her to put back to this port in
distress.

and repaired proved an interesting
study. Where the San Andreas line
crosses the Baden trestle a slip joint
had been put in = number of years ago
that permitted the expansion of the
pipe permitting it to crawl six inches
under heat. This slip joint had been
anchored to the pipe by four Tugs, each
having Il tensile strength of about $780,,
900 pounds These Jugs. which had been
tested to 100000 pounds, were torn
out like pasteboard. That pipe had to
be repaired, and there were no iron
works doing business in san Francisco
then.
A sheet of boiler iron was cut out, a
rubber gasket placed over the patches,
the boiler iron bolted on and over the
boiler iron were placed leaden patches
on either end of the broken pipe were
bolted iron bands six inches across
| and an inch thick ana under each band
were iron Jugs with a shoulder and a
hook. From hook to hook was woven
al Of
wire, and this was woven also around
the pipe across the patches. 1t re-
quired sixty hours continuous work to
do this.
The 13OO-foot break across the San
Bruno marsh was the hardest to repair
The forty-four-lnch main had been on
pile trestle capped. II had required
the trop of a 10000 pound hammer to
send these billings down half an inch,
but they were smashed down by the
shock and the pipe laid in snakelille
formation forward and back, across
the broken trestle The San Bruno
Marsh is mud for seventy or eighty
feet down and the position of the pipe
indicated that the shock had come
from the beach and the mud did not
move so quickly as the solid formation
below. This is illustrated by placing a
voin on piece of stiff paper, placing
the paper on the end of the finger and
swapping it quickly with another finger
The paper will slip from under the
coin, leaving it in its place.
This 1900 feet of trestle has been
temporarily repaired, and water lis
now pouring through the main. The
pipe had been pulled apart and in
many instances the 100 iron rivets
three-eighths of an inch in diameter,
had been cut in two as sheer as though
done by a knife.

STUDENTS TO KEEP HOUSE.

State Senator J. H. Stout of Me-
nomonie is now having plans prepared
for an extensive industrial school and
dormitory system combied, entailing
large expense. The buildings will
utilize tract of about five acres and
will consist of one large central build
ing surrounded by numerous cottages.
In the central building all branches
of domestic science will be taught,
and all cooking, serving and laundry
work for the students will be done. 1t
will contain a large central heating
plant which will supply heat to the
outlying cottages. The latter will be
used as sleeping and living apartments
for the students.
The entire domestic science teach
ing now done in the Stout training
school building will be removed to the
new building. Two objects are sought
in the new system, viz, economy in
providing for the students and practl-
cal practice work in cooking, serving
and housekeeping for domestic science
students.
Senator Stout has secured an option
on a tract of about five acres in the
center of the city and may purchase
it for this purpose-W.

Monday

Washington, May 29.-The senate
yesterday sent the railroad rate bill
to conference, listened to a long de-
Tense by Senator Kittredge of a sea
level canal and three Democratic
speeches on the resolution relating to
the purchase of canal supplies in for
eign markets and devoted the remain
der of the time to the postoffice APP
preparation bill.
Early in the session of the house
yesterday Mr.. Williams (Miss.), the
floor leader of the minority, made the
point that there was no quorum and it
took a call of the house to start the
wheels of legislation.
After the appearance of quorum
the house concurred in amendments
made by the senate to a number OF
house bills.
The house then resolved itself into
a "city council" for the consideration
of bills relating to the District OF Co
lumbia.

FARMERS WOULD FIX PRICES.
State Organization to Control and
Market All Produce.

State Organization to Control and
Market All Produce.
The American Society of Equality,
an organization composed of farmers
in Wisconsin, convened in BarabOo for
a two-days' session. Over 100 dele
gates from all over the state were in
attendance. The object of the meet
ing is to control the supply of all prod
ucts till the markets are ready for it
and in this way bring to the producers
all the benefits that are derived by
others from storing vegetables, fruits,
eggs and the like at a time of plenty
and low prices for a time of scarcity
and high prices. 1t is distinctly
stated that the new organization is not
to be a trust, but it is proposed to
eliminate the individual as marketer
of his products and market them
through the association, though they
may reach the consumer ultimately
through the same channel as now.
One Of the results of the new system
of marketing will be the greater uni
formity of prices and an increased
consumption of all products comprised
in the class over which this proposed
association will have control. For in
stance, the producers themselves or
their association will control the sup
ply until the demand is ready for it.
Then there will be no 10-cent eggs in
the summer and so cents in the winter.
But only enough eggs will be market
ed during the harvest season to sup
ply the demand at fair price. The
balance will go into storage for the
producers account, or in storehouses
owned by the producers, and will
come to the market in the winter at
about % cents a dozen. The uniform
and moderate prices will induce much
larger consumption.

Washington, May 25.-After consid-
cradle debate the senate yesterday
passed the bill relieving denatured
alcohol from the internal revenue tax
and then took up the agricultural APP
preparation bill, which was still under
consideration when the senate adj
journed.
Well filled galleries and a large
membership on the floor listened with
great attention yesterday in the house
to two leaders of opposite schools of
politics-Charles A. Towne of New
York and John Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr.. Towne's structures on the presi-
dent were received with applause on
the Democratic side. Mr.. Dalzell
spoke in favor of letting we'll enough

Friday.

Washington, May 26. - The house
was turbulent during the consideration
of the rule sending the rate bill to
conference, the fear of many members
being that the rule which disagreed to
the senate amendments en- bloc might
have an influence on the conferees
and give them an opportunity if they
so desired. to vote out the express
company amendment, the amendment
relating to pipe lines, and the sleeping
car amendment.
With the assurance that the wishes
of the house would be considered on
all the amendments, the rule was
adopted.
The senate passed the agricultural
appropriation bill, carrying an appro-
priation of $7,S00,00O, and without a
word of debate or an objection from
any source added to it as an amend
ment the bill providing for an inspec-
ton of fresh meats intended for do
nestle consumption.
The provision is along the general
lines of the law for the inspection of
meats intended to be shipped abroad,
and the work is delegated to the bu-
reau of animal industry.

STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
TO TEST BUTTER AND CHEESE.
Monthly Scoring Contests to Be Held
at State University Dairy School.

Monthly Scoring Contests TO be r1eio
at State University Dairy School.
Arrangements have just been COM
pleted for holding monthly butter and
cheese scoring contests under the
auspices of the dairy school of the
University of Wisconsin. The purpose
of the contests is to determine each
month the relative merits OF butter
and cheese submitted for examination
by Wisconsin dairymen. The judges
will point out the merits and defects
of these dairy products submitted Tor
their examination, and will thus help
those that participate in the contests
to improve their products. Whenever
the packages submitted by any butter
maker or cheesemaker are found par
ticularly deficient, it is the intention
of the dairy and food commissioner
to send an inspector to the factord IN
which the deficient product was made,
in order to assist the dairyman In To-
eating the source of the difficulty. AS
the aim is purely educational, there

ed. The plans and necessary arrange
ments for carrying on the work nave
been perfected by representatives OF
the Wisconsin Dairymen's association,
Wisconsin Buttermaker's association,
Wisconsin Cheesemaker's association,
state dairy and food commission and
the University of Wisconsin dairy
school
The contests will take place each
month at the university dairy school.
No entrance charges will be made,
but all packages of butter and cheese
must be sent prepaid. After each con-
test the packages will be shipped to
Chicago, where they will be sold, and
the net proceeds of each package re-
mitted to the maker. The scores OF
those receiving more than so per cent
will be published each month.
Some $50 entries have already been
received for the first contest. From
present indications these monthly con-
tests in Wisconsin will lead those OF
all other states, not only in the num-
Der of packages to be scored, but also
in the quality of the products. Among
the experts who will act as judges
are Prof. E. H. harrington, .. S.
Baer,. J. G. Moore, M. Michels, Dodge
and others.

FLOOD is FATAL TO FIVE.
The Breaking of Large Dam Causes
Most Disastrous Flood in Nevada.

The Breaking of a Large Dam Causes
Most Disastrous Flood in Nevada.
Reno, New, May 30.-The most dis
astrous flood that has occurred IN
Nevada in many years occurred yes
terday morning in Golconda, a small
town about 200 miles from here. 1t
was caused by the breaking OF the
large dam in Pole creek canyon, three
miles above the strengthening corral
of the Colconda Cattle company. Five
men were drowned and several are
badly injured.
When the dam broke an immense
volume of water poured down the
canyon, carrying everything before 1t.
When it struck the strengthening
corral there were number of men at
work, and all of these were carried
away with the flood. Not a building
or fence of the Colconda Cattle com
pany was left standing. The track OF
the Southern Pacific railroad was I'M
dermined a mile west of town, and all
trains are many hours late.

is MADE INSANE BY REFORM.
DR.. Bsadfleld, La Crosse "sane" Re
form Leader, Breaks Down.

La Crosse, Wis, May 80. = Two
weeks of the most strenuous devotion
to the new sane" reform movement
in La Crosse, in which the city was to
be rid of temptations to the young,
while saloons and gambling hells we're
allowed to continue unrestricted Tor
adults, has undermined the reason OF
DR.. J. A. L. Bradfield, president OF
the La Crosse Citizens league and a
wealthy and influential oculist.
The climax came yesterday, when
DR.. Bradfield suffered a complete
breakdown. He had hurriedly sum-
moned several leading business men
to the Y. M. c. A. auditorium, where
a meeting of the La Crosse Pastors
union was in progress. Unexpectedly
DR.. Bradfeld appeared in the meeting,
and, holding his arms aloft, sum-
moned the ministers about him to
hear his divine message from heav-
en-" DR.. Bradfield claimed to have
talked with the angels and to have
received a divine revelation. After
several minutes of incoherent speak
ing a physician was summoned by
the ministers, and DR.. Bradford was
persuaded to go to his home, where he
is now under the care of nurses.
Application was made yesterday al
ternoon to the county court, and DR..
Bradfield will be hurried to a privte
sanitarium in an effort to save his
reason, and a guardian will be ap-
pointed for his estate temporarily.
DR.. Bradfield has been leader in
state reform movements for many
years and was an enthusiast in relig
iOuS work.

ELLIS OF STATE LIQUOR TRADE.
state Labor Commissioners Makes Re-
port on Wisconsin Traffic.

state Labor commissioner makes re
port on Wisconsin Traffic.
In concluding his comment on the
liquor traffic in Wisconsin and the
United States, J. d. Beck, state COM
missioner of labor and industrial sta
tistics, in part third of the twelfth BIZ
ennial report of the department for
1906, says:
cit is evident that the liquor traffic
is about as deeply rooted and impor-
tant business in Wisconsin as it is
elsewhere in the United States"
"The commissioner says:
'In the United States out Of total
of $3.50 persons convicted of crime,
who were interviewed in gathering
these statistics, 24,457, or SO per cent,
were addicted to the use of liquor. Or
this total number convicted Of crime,
less than 1 per cent used wine only, II
per cent malt liquor only, 8 per cent
distilled liquor only, and 76 per cent
used two or more kinds of liquor. Out
of 1886 cases Of insanity examined,
'671, or 81 per cent, were addicted 20
to the use of liquor, and One-half this
number is classed as excessive drink
ers, and over rs per cent of the 1885
cases of insanity were caused directly
by the use of liquors. Of the poverty
which comes under the obselvation of
charity organizations, 25 per cent is
directly due to the use Of liquor.
"The per capita consumption of al.
-coholic liquors in the United States
has increased from 4 1-5 gallons in
1910 to about 20 gallons in 1908. This
enormous increase is mainly attrib-
uted to the ever increasing demand
for malt liquors, which contains
small per cent of alcohol as compared
with an equal amount of distilled
liquor. In the same period the use Of
malt liquors has increased from 1 1-3
gallons to over 18 gallons per capita,
and the average annual consumption
of distilled liquors has decreased
from IL gallons in 1910 to IL gal
Ions per capita in 1908.
"Out Of 11S cities in Wisconsin lib
have licenses, of 204 villages 1873 have
licenses, and of the 1909 towns 500
have licenses. Five cities, 16 villages
and 376 towns voted mo license" be-
cause no application for license was
made.
ct would appear from the report
that a majority of about II per cent Of
the population Of the state are against
license, that when saloons are located
according TO industry of the people
nearly every manufacturing center in
the state has saloons, and that every
no-licensed town, city or village is not
a manufacturing center, with possibly
two exceptions"
The commissioner says that the val
ue of all property employed in the
liquor traffic, both owned and rented,
is about 100000, of which s26,3OO,-
900 is in real estate and the remainder
in fixtures and sundries. The total tax
paid by the liquor traffic in t. state
is about $594,000. The total number
of persons in the state dependent on
the liquor traffic for livelihood is 68,-
900 The total annual revenue from
the manufacturers and traffic in alco-
holic LIQUORS in Wisconsin for federal,
state and municipal governments is
about $S,3S4, 786.-W.
