PUTTING THE JUNGLE
ON THE SHELF
SINCLAIR'S FAMOUS BOOK RE-
MOVED FROM THE CIRCULATING
TO REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
The st. Paul Dispatch says.

The famous story of the Chicago
packing houses, The Jungle, Story
of Packingtown." written by Upton
Sinclair, was recently taken from the
circulating shelves Of the city library
and placed in the reference room.
There are six copies of the book and
the reason given for keeping the copies
from use by the general public is that
although the book is of high value
from a literary standpoint, yet from
the ethical side it does not measure
very high. 1t was stated at the library
today by one of the Librarians that the
book is one which should not be read
by the youth Of this city. 1t has,
however, been placed in the reference
department where anyone can procure
the book and take it home with him.
although it is not the wish of the Ii
Ibrarian that the novel should be placed
where it can readily be read by young
people.
The local librarians merely followed
the library boards of other cities in
reference to the Sinclair work In 9TH
err cities the book has been even barred
from the library because of its char
acter.
President f. A. Young of the library
board, when seen by the Dispatch, de-
clared that his board had not taken up
the matter of 1.-THE Jungle" "Such
matters as that are left to committees
and these confer with the librarian,
said Mr.. Young today, Therefore the
placing of the book on the reference
shelves was done by the librarian or
the committee.
But it can be taken from the refer
ence rooms at any time by application
from the librarian.

WAITING ID IL.
At DAM TODAY
EXPERT SPENDING TODAY AT
THE DAM-HE WILL LEAVE ON
THE SONOMA JULY q.

The dam expert, Henry Clay Kel-
logg, left early this morning for the
Nuuanu dam where he intended to put
in the day He went up so that he
could be right on the spot when the
big pump got the water down in the
reservoir around the core of the dam
so that he could examine it.
All day yesterday the expert waited
for the telephone message from the
dam which was to tell him when he
could get at the base of the concrete
But no message came. Today Mr.,
Kellogg thought that perhaps it woulC
be just as well if he were up there
then he would lose no time in getting
to the base Of the affair and before the
pump could break and let the water
rise.
The expert expects to leave on the
Sonoma July q. He will write his re-
port while, he is on the steamer going
up and then will mail it back to the

IN "SAKEn CASE

ISAN FRANCISCO, July 12-On Mon
day United States District Attorney
Robert Il. Devlin and NJ A. Levett, a
government wine expert, argued be-
fore United States Circuit Judge w.
w. Morrow in support of the conten-
ton that the Japanese liquor, sake, Is
"still" wine, and, as such, should be
taxed at the rate of so cents a gallon.
Yesterday Thomas Fitch, Henry c..
Dibble and Stanley Jackson, appearing
for the importers, argued that sake
is beer and should be taxed 20 cents a
gallon.
Judge Morrow listened TO the argu-
ments sets forth, and also shifted at
the sake and the sherry of varying de-
grees of excellence that was brought
forth as an exhibit in the case. Then
he decided that sake is neither still
win nor beer, but that it must be ad-
mitted under the non-classined list. On
that list it pays a 20 per cent ad
valorem duty, or about 10 cents gall
lon The case will be Immediately APP
pealed to the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals.
The matter of the duty on sake has
been before the courts before, and the
Circuit Court of Appeals in New York
decided that 1t was a still wine. How
ever, as the evidence presented was
not very complete, the Covenant d.
cided to make a test case-the one de-
cided yesterday. The still-wlne duty
has been collected from importers for
several years, and II Judge Morrow's

NEW ZEALAND'S
NEW PREMIER
Continued from page one.)

"You ask me what the experience Of
New Zealand has been relative to State
control of the public utility depart
ments in our country. My answer is
that for upwards of thirty years the
government has controlled the rail-
ways, with a few exceptions at one
time; that is, four or five railway COM
panies were run by public corpora
tions, but with one exception they have
all been purchased by the government
and have formed part of the State
railway system for a number of years
There now is only one line of rail-
way with mileage of between seventy
and eighty miles, that is owned by a
public corporation. II runs almost
parallel with the government section Of
railways, some eighty miles apart. The
colony has the right to purchase this
line by arbitration.
1.-THE right has not been availed of
for the good reason that a privately
owned railway is bound by agreement
with the colony to reduce it's rates to
the same as that of the government
railways whenever reductions take
place. In other words, they cannot
charge a higher rate than that upon
the government line, so that practi-
cally it is equivalent to being a State
owned railway. The railways have
worked excellently under State control
There are two or three thousand miles
in operation, employing between 5000
and 10000 men and boys and no wo-
men excepting those in charge of the
rooms for women
"The system has kept rates down to
the lowest possible point to insure the
greatest advantage and the all import
ant one Of assisting in the develop
ment of the country wherever railways
traverse. We have IS lines in course
Of construction. The people would not
give authority for the sale of the rail-
ways even If three times the value
of construction, or any sum were Of
fered.
"The railways have stood the test Of
some thirty years and are kept in mag
nihcent order, as is the rolling stock.

decision is upheld the importers will
collect more than 100000 in rebated
duties
During the progress Of the case yes
terday morning Levett remarked that
Mr.. Fitch seemed to be failing as age
came upon him and that he had dis
covered several errors in his brief.
Judge Morrow rebuked him, saying
that he had the highest opinion of Mr.
Fitch's ability, and that such a remark
was entirely out of place.

THE CENTURY MARK
AND 100000 POINT
THE COURT OF LAND REGISTRA-
TION HAS HAD LARGE VOLUME
OF BUSINESS BEFORE IT.

The business of the Land Registra-
months over the preceding half year
period. Case number 104 has been
reached, and the judge of the court
finds that the people are beginning to
understand the use of the system OF
land registration.
The amount of business before the
court may be understood from the as
sessed value of the real property des-
cribed in go petitions for registration
filed since January l 1906, which is
$491 ,O45 This added to the assessed
value of land described in the petit
lions prior thereto amounting to $685.
24O, makes a total of the assessed value
of land which has come under the
jurisdiction of the court amount to
$1,O14,2S5.
Thus the court has passed its CEN
tury mark in the number of cases be-
fore it, and the million dollar mark in
the assessed value of the land brought
before it for adjudication of title.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE humane employer would not
subject his employees to a sweating
either in pay or hours.
1--WE do not as a Government or as
people do anything in the direction of
trying to level people down. Our laws
affecting the regeneration of our
country have gone toward making a
purer and better condition.
"Our people give equal opportunity to
all i'm every walk of life, to better
their condition without doing it at the
expense of the many; the laws have
been intended to improve their posi-
lions. They are democrats in the truest
sense of the term.
eve have extended state ownership
i'm many other directions. We have
owned the whole of the telgraphic and
telephone systems ever since the coun-
try has had responsible government.
We own the State Life Insurance de-
partment, which has been a very great
success; the profits are invested for
the benefit of the insurers, and none
of the financial results are in any way
claimed or owned by the government,
and, though there has been the com
petition by foreign life companies, the
government life insurance holds Al per
cent of the total amount carried.
1--WE have also established Govern
ment lending departments for advanc-
ing money to settlers. This has low
cred the rates of interest on mortgages
The department has loaned upward Of
$25, 100000 without a single loss. We
have a government postoffice saving
bank for deposits of any sum, and
there is more than $44,OOOoOO in this
savings bank. There have been no
losses with investments by the post
office, which must be in State or other
gilt-edge securities.
"The State provides a public trustee
department in which people lodge their
Wills or more disposition of their prop
erty which Is administered by this de-
partment. If any estate i'm the hands
Of the public trustee for the benefit Of
children, wife or family were malad-
ministered the colony would be respon-
sible
Public opinion is the only vehicle In
my judgment that can help any coun-
try to effect a revolution of a character
that would bring to them that which
is an established fact In our country
which Is pursuing its work without in
jury to the great mass Of the people"

in the least influence facts, as these are
very stubborn things they regard our
opinions and wishes not at ALL
One word in closing, if we happen
to see few white flies driven about by
the wind or fitting about in the even

that they breed upon every tree they
happen to rest upon.
No tree, shrub or plant should be
pronounced guilty of breeding white
flies unless we see upon it's leaves abb

Report on Nut Culture.

By H. r. Miller, Monticello, Fla,
Chairman of Committee on Nut Gull
ture. Read before the recent meet
ing of the Florida State Horticultural
Society.
The subject of nut culture is rapid
ly becoming very live one through
out the South, owing ITO the great
interest now being manifested in the
commercial development of the pc
can industry. The consumption of
nuts in the United States is steadily
increasing, and we are now importing
approximately six millions of dol
lars worth of nuts in addition to con-
Stunning virtually all the home sup
ply Inasmuch as nuts have been,
until recent years, regarded as lux
ury rather than a staple article of
food, and since the reform movement
now existing throughout the country
in the matter of more rational food,
is strongly advocating the liberal use
Of nuts as partial substitute for
meats, it may confidently be expected
that the demand will rapidly increase
Already the prices have been steadily
advancing and the ordinary pecans
which few years slnce were market
ed at five and six cents a pound are
now commanding eight to twelve
cents, while the fancy pecans readily
sell at twenty cents to one dollar
a pound.
A Health Food Company in New
York of about two years standing is
making a speciality Of nut food pro-
ducts and heretofore have imported
the nuts of the edible pine to be used
as a basis for their preparations
However, the demand for their out
put has increased to such an extent
that the company is already consid-
ering means by which this constantly
increasing demand is to be met Nat
rra11y it has under consideration The
pecan, and is endeavoring to perfect
machinery that will enable the sub
stitution being made.
The Persian or English walnut in
dustry has been firmly established in
California, and such remunerative
prices obtain that land in that State
suitable for walnut culture has in
creased in value five fold Some of
the reported incomes from vel es-
tablished orchards are almost incredi-
ble
Not only is nut growing worthy of
our most serious consideration and
earnest efforts because of it's COM
mercial possibilities, but, like fruit
trees in proper assortment, a few
nut trees for home use adds mater
tally to the pleasure and interest Of
the home. Besides supplying a whole
some and palatable food, the trees
themselves add much in the way of
making attractive surroundings 1t
is difficult to estimate the value that
