DRYEsT TOWN IN THE WORLD
Sales of Soda Water and Lemonade
Barred in Frisco.

OAKLAND, Cal, June 2.-San Fran
cisco has become the champion dry
town of the world. Ever. sodawater
and pink lemonade are barred. This
condition is due to an order by the
board of health, prohibiting the sale OF
all beverages, excepting boiled or dis
titled water, coffee, tea, boiled milk or
buttermilk. All the soft drinks are
barred.
This action was taken because 1t was
found that the cicer soc;00 Was innocent
of any relation to the apple, and was
poisonous. Saltwater was simply i'm
pure city water, carbonated and
favored. All sodawater factories have
been closed indefinitely and every
precaution has been taken to prevent
the violation of the law.
The city water is still polluted and
these strict measures are necessary
to prevent epidemics.

japanese Consul Spurs The North
West.
GOOD MARKET IN JAPAN FOR FLOUR
LITTLE BROWN MEN ARE BE-
COMING MORE ENGLISH AND
DISCARD RICE DIET.

WINNIPEG, Man., May 25.-'I be-
lieve that the development Of the
northwest will depend much upon the
extension of Canadian trade with the
orient" said T. G. Nesse, the Japanese
consul general in Canada, last night.
1.-The American commercial policy is
more progressive than that of Canada.
The Americans export to Japan in
wheat alone to the extent of $4,000, 900
annually, against Canada's small $780,
600.
There is a fine market in Japan for
coming more English and are begin
ming to use more flour instead of
rico The prospects for Canadian flour
are all the brighter, especially as the
United States will not be able to sup
nlv us with as much as heretofore.
1T simply amounts to this added
Mr. Nesse; 1.-The Americans were first
in the field, and can certainly deliver
their goods cheaper than Canada. 1t
is only within the last three years that
Japan has been importing Canadian
flour"
The consul secuted with scorn the
rumored invasion of Australia by
Japan. Why" he said, 1--WE are
pledged by treaty to assist England in
the event of Russia attacking India,
and how much more should we not pro-
tect her in the retention of her COL
onies? | am surprised that the idea
was ever mentioned, but it has some
how gone the round of the neWspa-
pers."

eLAINE's BUST SEIZED.
State of Maine Fails to Pay and Sculp'
tor Takes Work Back.

TOR axes "OTk 0aSNs
AUGUSTA, Me-, June 1.-THE mar
BILE bust of James G. Blaine that has
for eight wears stood in the rotunda
of the state house was today packed
up and shipped by express to Profess
sor G. Trentanove, of Florence, Italy,
who is at present in Milwaukee.
The bust was thought by the general
public to be a part of the permanent
art collection of the state capitol, but
the illusion was some time ago dis
PEELED by repeated dunning letters from
the sculptor, who never received a cent
for his work. He says the bust was Or
dered by the late Jaseph H. Manley,
who. it is claimed, had all along in
tended to put a bill through the legis-
lature to meet the expense but in the
rush Of more important business the
pay for the sculptor got lost.
Professor Trentanove designed the
statue Of Pierre Marquette in WASH
ington and is the author of other not
able pieces. The bust of Blaine was
never liked by members of the family
and friends, although Joseph A. Ho-
man. the veteran journalist and next
door neighbor, has always contend
cd that it fas a most faithful delinea-
ton of the great statesman.

DATE FOR OPENING

Ing the date of opening of the James
town exposition. The exposition au-
.thoritles, In the literature which They
have spread broadcast over this coun-
try and Europe, announced April 20
as the date for opening tie eNposi-
tion, but In the appropriation bill
which congress passed giving the
exposition several millions OF dollars
May - is named as the date OF the
opening. for it was on May 13 that
the settlers actually landed at James
town. although they arrived In tho
waters OF Hampton Roands on April
20.
The exposition authorities have no
objection 30 accepting the date fixed
by congress. although u Is possible
that ut the next session OF congress
q bill may be introduced fixing the
opening of the exposition as April
20, as originally determined by the
jamestown exposition management.
