PROMOTION BUREAU IN
EAST Is BOOMING STATE
Weather Bulletins Interesting and In
creased Demand for Literature Is
Result of Their Posting

Recently the thermometer in New
York registered near zero for several
days in succession, while the bulletins
at the Eastern Bureau of the Califor-
MIA Promotion Committee were regis
tering the seductive temperatures oc-
curing concurrently at Eureka, San
Francisco and San Diego.
The California Club of Washington,
D. c., extended an invitation TO Mr..
Brown of the Eastern bureau to lecture
in that city on January %. 1t was
necessary to decline this invitation, ow-
ing TO previous lecture engagements.
On the occasion of the California lee
ture on January 10 in New York the
audience hall of the Museum of Natural
History was crowded to the doors. Mr.
Browns itinerary for the late winter
and spring is rapidly filing up, some
of the impending dates including the
Borough of the Bronx, New York, Mt
Vernon, New York, Long Island City,
Woodhaven, L. l., and FIVE intervening
enga gements.
The increased demand for California
literature is coincident with a crafty
ing cooperation with the promotion
work which is making itself felt from
many sources. Included in this de-
mand are many inquiries for maps of
the State made by prospective visitors
who seek to identify the areas in which
they are particularly interested. Owing
to the great activity of the mining in
terests there is an increased call for
literature on the mineraliZed areas of
the State.
Among the Californians who called
at the Eastern bureau during the week
were Eugene Wilhoit. H H. Griffiths
and Richard Lauxen of Stockton; II. A.
Butler, a mining man of Alameda: Lew
B. Harris of San Diego; Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur W. Moore and Frank A. Holt, all
of Oakland; Morris M. Cook of Los
Angeles; Mrs NJ. S. Eisner, Miss Helen
and Master Milton Eisner of San Fran
cisco. Cards are out for the annual
banquet of the California Club, to be
given at the ST. Regis on the evening of
February 9. at which Colvin B. Brown
of the Eastern bureau of the California
Promotion Committee is to deliver an
address.

RULING MAY RUIN
OLIVE INDUSTRY
State Growers Aroused by
Decision to Admit Ripe
Product Free of Duty
APPEAL TO PERKINS

Believing that the olive industry OF
the State is doomed if the recent de-
cisiOn of the general appraisers of New
York, by which the ripe olives OF for
eign countries are admitted free OF
duty, is not reversed, representatives
of the large producers of California
met yesterday afternoon at the head
quarters of the State Board of Trade
to map out campaign to combat the
ruling.
The first inkling of the move of the
Federal officers reached the growers
through a letter received recently by
Colonel Briggs of the Board of Trade
from Senator Perkins, in which the
gravity of the situation was set forth.
A telegram was Immediately dispatcheo
by the delegates yesterday to inquire
for further particulars before any def
mite step is taken
From the communication of Senator
Perkins it appeared that the question
had been before the appraisers for some
time, aad the ruling was only made
after months of deliberation. The tar
iffs on olives have been construed to
admit ripe olives On barrels free of
charge The green and dried olives are
all liable to duty. In accord with the
provisions regulating customs as set
down by Congress in 1890, duty is
charged on ripe, dried and green olives
in bottles, but in regulating the i'm
portation in barrels the word ripe" is
omitted The decision was based on
this technicality.
The olives from Greece and Italy, If
shipped to this country, will be con-
verted into oil which will effectually
drive the local product from the field
and destroy the industry. Senator Per-
kins was also requested to use his in
iuence to have the decision repealed.
The producers represented yesterday
were: American Olive Company of Los
Angeles, Roeding Olive Company of
Fresno. Ehmann Olive Company of Oro-
vile, Sacramento Olive Company of
Sacramento, Fair Oaks Olive Company
of Fair Oaks, Ackerman, & Tuff1ey
Company of San Diego, Los Angeles
Olive Growers Association, haywood
Olive Company of Corning and the ].
c. Kubias Company of Redlands.

FARMERS ARE BENEFITED
BY BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
Protests Made Against It's Proposed
( DfsconfiBr1 nee by the House
Committee on Agriculture

Farmers in every section of the
country are declaring emphatically
against the action of the House COM
mittee on agriculture in striking from
the agricultural appropriation bill the
provision for the maintenance of the
Government biological survey.
William butcher. president of the
Audubon Association at New York,
says the appropriation of somewhat
over $4,000 for the work costs every
twenty persons in the United States
only ] cent a year, and every farmer
of this country saves many dollars
a year in the benefit which it's investi-
cations afford.
Though its name may sound some
what scientific, the biological survey
is regarded by authorities on agricul-
ture as one of the greatest practical
aids to the actual everyday work of
the farmer 1t tells him what birds
and mammals work harm to his crops
by years of the most exact and COM
prehensive investigation of the stom-
achs of every species of wild life about
his acres 1t teaches him which birds
destrop the pests that hamper his
product. 1t forewarns him of the in
sidious inroads of rodents, insects and
other forces that strike at the root
Of his production.
Most remarkable of all the functions
of the survey is that of determining
for the farmer just what crops he
can grow with success in new and un-
tried regions. If, for example, 1t is
known that on a mountainside in
Southern California a particular crop
can be raised. and known also that on
some mountainside in Nevada or
Utah the same birds and mammals
and plants are found as in the Cali
fornia spot, it is absolutely certain
that the crop of the California noun
tainside will do well also on the
mountainside- of the other locality.

Il AMUSEMENTS *

The bill at the Orphcum this week
is rather disappointing. 1t has its
good points, it is true, but the good
features are almost lost sight of in
the dismal wait for their coming.
The ever enjoyable acting of Miss
Rose Coghlan is worth the sitting
through several inferior acts, but
would leave better impression if
some of. the other acts had been en-
tirely eliminated. Miss Coghlan pre-
sents one-act playlct, "The Ace OF
Trumps,' being ably assisted by Mr..
VIM. H. Sans. The Piccolo midgets
have an entertaining ac', and the
dancing of the Carbrey twins is above
the average. AS for the rest of the
program. barring, of course, the or
chestra selection. which is always
good, the least said the better.
This has been an off week at the
Salt Lake theatre, tie Symphony
concert being the only attraction
scheduled for the week, and the at
taches of the historic old play house
from Manager Piper dow to the wat
erboy, have been enjoying a holiday
after their strenuous work since the
opening of the present season.
The or. at Russian mclodrama,
Michael Strogoff" has been the bill
at the Lyric the past week, and as
presented by the Moore Stock COM
pany, has proven very acceptable
attraction, the company showing to
better advantage than the week pre-
vious. The bill for next week is an
nounced as "The Gold King" under
the auspices of the Ladies' G. A. R.
Military Band. The Moore Stock
company has certainly made good"
with Lyric patrons, and the patronage
has been most gratifying.

TRUTH

A variety Dill 10 SUIT the Ihost eN-
acting of vaudeville devotees is on at
the Orpheum this week, and indica-
tons are that the crowded houses OF
two weeks ago will again be the rule
at our popular Orpheum Theatre.
The program opens with a farcial
Scream entitled, "Prof. Hoodoo,"
which is calculated to drive away the
worst case of blues and dull care; the
team giving this sketch is Garfield &
Carleton, who have won applause
from the most critical of vaudeville
lovers all over the country
The second number is by Mullen &
Carelli, who are acrobats ranking at
the very top in their line; besides this,
realizing that good hearty laugh is
the best tonic in the world, their wit
ticisms and humorous peculiarities
are more than worth while hearing.
THE Arlington Four" better known
as the singing and dancing messenger
boys, present very good number
consisting of expert dancing and ST.
perb singing, each of them being an
artistic singer Of "the songs that
take"
One of the latest acquisitions to
vaudeville is Beth Stone, who presents
her speciality of Toe Dancing in a
way that is extremely charming; she
is a whrlwind on her toes, and for
merly played leading part in "The
Little Cherub Co." where she won
great favor everywhere she was seen.
The next number is tribute to the
wonderful patience of man and beast.
Americas appetite for the novel in
stageland is more than gratifed by
Captain Webb and his marvellous
Troupe of Performing Seals, which
have been trained TO use their slip
rery flippers in a way which only
skilled hands and feet could duplicate;
among their tricks may be mentioned
playing musical instruments, catching
and throwing bail, drilling, singing
(songs of the sea-. In concert they
compose the "only seal-skin band in
the world"

SUPERFICIAL CHARACTERIST-
les.

ly do we write, and talk, of that
which we have scant knowledge, of
which we cherish misconceptions, in
regard to which we are. absolutely
ignorant! The field is too great for
any less than a Taine to survey, but
what would it not be worth to know
whether modern peoples in a similar
stage of development resemble us i'll
this respect and whether literary
records would indicate that dead
peoples, in a similar state of develop
ment, resemble us? One danger OF
wholesale criticism of race or ma
ton is that while any may dictate
the ideal, their comparative advance
ment is almost impossible to esti-
mate, because OF the stuperdous task
of collecting comparative data. But
whether we sink below, or rise above
contemporary or historical peoples,
he who runs may read that we are
highly superficial in speech and the
written word.
Carlyle thought that the first way
to erd war was to bring ell indif-
ferent or hostile peoples into COM
munon, and certainly increased trans
portation facilities, the printed al
phabet and the electrical transmission
devices have tended to eliminate war.
Among individuals, as between ma
tons, how frequently do we misun-
dcrstand ore another, how many dis
putes, even duels, mental or physical
might be avertcd if each could hear
the others side! We condemn this
mar, often without being aware of
q moiety of the facts in the case and
we become estrangcd from that man
when if we could confer upon a COM
mon level, our dislike might be trans
formed into real regard. And in al
most every instance the evil will be
found to have lain in our habit-be it
peculiarly American or characteris-
tic of all raccs-of superficial judg-
ment ard decision.
Even in the highest American cir
Gle failure to master data and di-
gest relations marifests itself daily,
in ludicrous errors or tragical mis-
steps. Every member of the United
States senate can give you fair
summary of Evelyn Thaw's betrayal
by Stanford White, but cow and then
we find a senator unfamiliar with the
constitution of the United States. 1t
is so in both houses of congress In
the fourth estate we find journalists
whose ignorance or urripc judgment
causes them to become guilty of
frightful mis-statemcnts and highl
pcrilous juxtapositions. This is not
said either in spirit of criticism or
blame, for the fault is confined to no
class or profession or trade, but is
characteristic of the entire people and
is ct once the cause and result of
peculiar evils rs chiefly known
