mary and violent expulsion of Hindus
from Bellingham, WASH, recently
1t is confidently expected that If the
facts are as reported in the press, Am.
(bassador Brice will soon be heard
from. The British government takes
pride above all things in protecting
the lives and property of it's subjects,
SO 1t is expected that as soon as the
British consular officer, who is report.

completed his investigation and com.
municated with the summer home OF
the British ambassador at Intervale
N. H., formal complaint will be lodged
with the state department.
The state department is always en-
barrassed in dealing with Incidents of
this character. owing to the fact to
which the attention Of congress has
often been called. that the national
government, and even the United
States courts, are not clothed with the
authority to enter the confines Of a
state, even to protect foreigners in
their treaty rights.
All that the state department can do
in such a case as that at Bellingham

established in Wyoming, Louisiana,
California and elsewhere in cases
where foreigners have been mobbed or
killed. That is, the department. in the
name of the president. may address

New Foot Ball Rules.

The actual matter of the rules has
not been materially changed, owing to
the satisfaction that was found with
the wholesale revision which took
place in the rules of 1906. It was de-
termined to increase the playing time
another 10 minutes by adding five
minutes to each half 1t was voted to
continue the method of two umpires.
The 10-yard rule is preserved exactly
as before. Forward passing has been
altered to certain extent, making it
less risky to use it on the first and
second down. Instead Of losing the
ball in case the forward pass strikes
the ground before striking a player of
either side, the same side retains pos
session of the ball by losing Is yards
in distance. When the forward pass
is essayed on the third down, however,
and it strikes the ground without strik-
ing player or is otherwise made H.
legally, the ball must be surrendered
to the other side exactly as formerly.
That line man may carry the ball,
provided he does not leave his position
in the line until the ball is put in play.
1t was also determined that the for
ward pass or tripping or hurdling by
the side that did not put the ball in
play in scrimmage, should be pena-
liked Is yards.
In order to prevent signaling by one
man and a catch and run by another,
II was legislated that If one man Of the
side signals his intention of making a
fair catch, and then another of his
side who did not signal, makes the
catch, this player may not run with
the ball nor is he entitled to the priv
ileges coming from a fair catch, but
the ball must be put down at the point
where he caught it for scrimmage by
his side.

THE CLIFF
HOUSE
RESORT NEAR FRISCO
BURNED DOWN.
WAS LOCATED ON PROMINENT
POINT OUT FROM GOLDEN
GATE.

San Francisco, Sept. 8.-The ia
nous Cliff House Of this city. San
Franchises first attraction for tourists,
was burned to the ground Saturday
evening. Fire broke out in the build
ing about 4:45 o'clock, and an hour
later blackened heap of ruins was all
that remained of the historic struc-
ture. The house was built Of wood,
and famed by the lively ocean breezes,
the flames made such Roadway be-
fore the nearest fire company arrived
that it was realized that the place was
doomed, and more attention was paid
to saving adjoining property than to
the burning building.
The Cliff House had been closed for
some time, as the new lessee, John
TAFT, was remodeling the interior.
Workmen were about the place until
noon, and then departed for the day.
How the fire started is mystey.
This was the second Cliff House to
be destroyed by fire. The building
which was burned today was erected
by Adolph Sutro, Of Sutro tunnel fame
30 years ago. It was owned by the
Sutro estate and was valued at $50, 900.
TAFT estimates his loss at $4,000, on
which there is $4,000 insurance.
The Cliff House was ranked as one
of the best known resorts of America.
Located on a rocky promontary beyond
the Golden Gate, directly above the
lashing waves Of the Pacific ocean, and
affording a close view of the seals dis
porting on the rocks near shore, it was
a strong attraction for visitors, and
from its broad porches hundreds Of
thousands Of people obtained their first
view of the mighty waters. The mag
nificent Sutro baths near by were not
damaged.
The house has stood for years as one
of the monuments to the late Adolph
Sutro, once mayor of San Francisco,
popular more because of his enterprise
in providing pleasure for San Fran
ciscans and pretty scenes for the visit
ing tourist than for any other reason
The visitor to San Francisco who fail
ed to see the Cliff House, it was always
regarded, had seen but little Of the
beauties of the city by the Golden Gate.
This resort with the bathhouse and
museum and other architectural adorn-
ments of Sutro Heights. ranked as the
first attraction of San Fancisco.
For years the only means of reach
ing Point Lobos, on which Sutro chose
to make the premier beauty spot of the
western coast, drawing the attention
of visitors from every corner of the
world, was by a novel looking dummy
engine which drew two small passen-
ger coaches. The travel became so
heavy finally that Sutro constructed
his own trolley line from the city, one
of the first, If not the first, overhead
trolleys ever put in operation in San
Francisco.
The Cliff House was the first view
OF land that greeted the incoming ship
from the Orient, being visible for miles
at sea.

TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize tho Mer.
chants Of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured OF satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti.
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or 70,
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: If a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or in any
way hold the value Of your property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit Of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: If your town is good
enough to live in it is good enough to
spend money in.-Gov. Folk of Mis-
souri,.
Because: The best citizens in your
community patronize home industry.
Why not be one of the best citizens?
Because: II you give your home
merchant an opportunity TO compete,
by bringing your order to him in the
quantities you buy out OF town, he will
demonstrate that. quality considered,
he will save you money.
