Pure Food.

st. Paul-The new code, when it
goes into effect March next, will
make several changes in the pure food
laws and will impose several additional
obligations upon the dealers.
One section of the code requires that
mllk1nen in all municipalities must
nave license. Under the old law
licences were required only of men
m1lkmen in towns of over 1000 in.
habitants. The new code makes no
exemption of this kind.
"Dairymen can't deliver milk in any
old can," said Mr.: Slater, 'but in the
small villages they must have a wagon
with their name and number the same
as they do in larger town, thus giving
the people of the small towns the
same protection as the people in the
larger towns"
Another section in the new code bars
candies colored with coa4star dye and
makes no exception to thu rule, even if
the precinct is tabled with the names.
After March all candy must be col

A corporation has been formed under
the name of the Title Renewing Com
pany of San Francisco with a capital OF
Fifty Thousand Dollars. The incor-
porators are Thomas ]. Laurance,
Fisher Ames and Robert w. King. AS
sisted by the Edwards Abstract Com
pany, the Title Renewing Company will
procure judgments replacing the de-
stroyed records and re- establishing
titles to San Francisco realty. Mr..
Laurance, the president of the new
company, a Georgian and a man of
large means, came here merely to view
the ruins. but so impressed was he
with the spirit aninating the citizens
of San Francisco that he decided to
cast his lot among us and build up for
himself a business commensurate with
the greatness of the future city. Mr.
Laurance has opened an Office at 321
Fillmore street for making loans and
investments as well as for a general
real estate and brokerage business,
where, also, will be the temporary Offices
of the Title Renewing Company.

DAY BRINGS NO CHANGE
IN STRIKE SITUATION
Owners Claim That Union Pickets
Made Strenuous Effort to Board
steamer RayaIIi.

All was quiet along the water front
yesterday. Neither the striking sail
ors nor the shipowners made any
move and settlement of the labor
difficulty seems as far off as on the day
the trouble began. The Union Shipping
and Transportation Association claims
that the steamship Ravalli, belonging
to the Hammond Lumber Company,
was assailed by union pickets upon her
arrival in port Wednesday night. 1t is
said that two picket boats approached,
and, Notwithstanding warnings to re-
main at a distance, thirty men who
were on board the smaller crafts made
an attempt to board the larger vessel.
They did not cease in their efforts un-
til they had been beaten back with
clubs.
The Ravalli was disabled on leaving
Eureka harbor by the parting of her
tiller rope. The vessel became unman-
ageable and went ashore in the mud.
She was towed off few hours after
wards by the steamship Francis H.
Leggett. The association asserts that
there is good reason to believe that the
rope had been tampered with.

JUDGE MELVIN.

OAKLAND, July 12.-On the eve of
his departure tonight, Superior Judge
Henry A Melvin made a formal state
ment In which he denied rumors that
he intended to fight Governor Pardee
for denomination. Judge Melvin said:
persistent rumor has been circulat-
ed in certain quarters recently to the
effect that / intended to oppose the
candidacy of Governor Pardee. In
sentation during my absence, I wish
emphatically to declare that am not
only heartily and enthusiastically in
favor of the denomination and re-elec-
tion of Governor Pardee, but that
will do everything in my power to as
sist in bringing about such results
During the four years OF his In
cumbency as Governor of this State,
George c. Pardee has demonstrated the
fact that he is a man of splendid ex-
ecutive ability through his honest and
absolute devotion to the interests of
the people.
AS Republican, as a resident of
the great county of Alameda, and as
his personal friend. / will be deeply in
terested in his success, and / confident
ly predict that he will be his own sue
cessor in the Office of Governor of Cali
fornta.
This statement resulted from whis-
perings which have been made in
political circles to the effect that Judge
Melvin himself might be a guberna-
torial candidate.
Judge Melvin departed this evening
with a large delegation of Elks to at
tend the Grand Lodge which will con-
vene at Denver Monday. There is no
doubt that he will be elected grand ex-
allied ruler.

application by the District Attorney to
