Supply and Demand.

II. A. Dawley. local manager of the
r. w. English Lumber Co., says the
demand for building material in this
vicinity has been the largest this year
OF any in the Co.'S history here, cx-
septing only the year they furnished
the material for the sugar factory.
and he says the difficulty in getting
in supplies has been something siren
uous. The Co. has had orders in for
material at the mills for months. For
the several yards OF the valley they
have given orders for something over
ono hundred cars Of lumber. For tho
Rocky Ford yard alone thirty car.
loads arc ordered. and of all this only
ten cars are known TO be -rtu,lly
started from shipping points. OF
that number they have got shipping
bills bu. tho question of arrival is ut
tcriy speculative.
This'is no; an exceptional condition
with the dealers in lumber alone. II
Is common to all lines Of bniliinc
stock. and many other kinds Of stock.
Every dealer grcc,s his customer now
days with tho assurance that II is \
favor to let him have tho goods. be-

ing of the health board today. Health
officer Gum reported on the bubonic
plague situation as follows: The total
number of cases to date 81. deaths 10.

Gum said that the meteorological
work done by DR.. Wherry showed that
practically all the infected rats come
from the Italian quarter in the North
Beach district.
Supervisor Payot attended the ses-
sion OF the board. He objected to the
proposal by DR.. Huntington to address
a circular letter to every wholesale
warehouseman, liveryman. and res
taurant man in the city relative to the
necessity of killing rats. Payot
thought the purpose would be served
by addressing a letter to the president
of the board instructing the health Of
ficer to append such notice to the ad-
vertisement he was about to insert Of
fering a bounty in addition to the
boards ten cent bounty on rats. The
health office was authorized to en-
ploy four additional plumbing inspec-

of profound peace. when We are en-
joying the fruits of a most universal

of the government are constitutionally
exercised and are found in every in

the evils complained of. either actual

eral has issued a formal proclamation

bers of the Philippine commission be-
lieve that there is a prospect of an
early passage Of the public utilities
law. based on the recent railway rate
legislation in congress.
The end of the first years operation
of the insular ship subsidy law shows
il to be highly successful. A compar-
atively small appropriation has been
involved and decided improvement IN
the service has been effected.
A number of citizens here drafted a
letter to President Roosevelt request
ing the presence of an American bat
tleship at the inter-oriental carnival
to be held at Manila during the first
week OF February 1908. An elaborate
reception will be given Secretary Taft
in this city October 18th.
