Peru Claims kurokI.

Gen. Kuroki. the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex.
traction. Another interesting chap.
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette. Of Lima. Peru.
which makes the claim, and submits
plausible statement Of facts to prove
It, that Kuroki's father was Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
Charroqui. 1t is also declared that
the generals father was descendant
Of the lncas, who themselves are be-
lieyed to have been descendants of an
As.atic race. so Kuroki is an atavism
and has come into his own In the land
Of his fathers.

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee,
.FIavoring Extracts, Baking Pow.
der and Other Manufacturing
and Wholesale Business.

The great wholesale grocery house
OF the C. S. Morey Mercantile Company
In Denver gives special attention to its
coffee trade. having as fine coffee
roasting plant as there Is In the coun-
try. with a roasting capacity of one
hundred and fifty bags of green coffee
day. Its experiments show that in
the dry climate of Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after it has been
roasted. The great success this firm
Is having with its high.grade package
coffees, such as Solitaire, Yampa, Cap
itol, and many others, is due TO the fact
that no expense is spared in keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al,
ways up to the standard.
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best In the country and he is in
structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and i'm
mense increase In their coffee business
shows that this fact is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch of its man
ufacturing business is that of Its Soil
additional story has Just been COM
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest of Mexican and Bour-
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's
Solitaire Vanilla. which is aged at
least twelve months before 1t is
shipped. and only the best oil Of
lemon that can be obtained Is al
lowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All
their Solitaire extracts are as good as
any made.
Morey's o. X. Baking Powder. which
will do the work of any cream tartar
powder on the market. but which is IL
self q phosphate powder, Is another OF
the firms popular and staple produc-
tions, which Is winning favor as being
quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high-grade,
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to the
firm name.
The company is also direct impor.
ter OF teas, In which 1t does large
business.
The grocery part OF the business Is
divided into departments each under
the management of a man who has
made study for years of the goods in
his particular line.
From one hundred to one hundred
and twenty-five men are employed all
the time. including thirty statesmen
who cover all of Colorado and parts OF
Wyoming. New Mexico. Arizona and
Utah regularly.
The company's immense building on
Sixteenth street, near the Union depot,
on the car lines. is one of the most
notable private business buildings In
the city. and shelters an army OF EN-
ployes. 1t is one OF the institutions
that make Denver and stand for Colo
RADIO enterprise.
The reputation Of the house is firmly
founded on the purity and genuine
character OF It's products. which are In
every instance fully up to the stand
ard prescribed BY the pure food laws.
aud ali goods under the Solitaire label
are guaranteed absolutely by the pack

When the General Assembly meets

increase the amount of salary or in
come which is exempt from taxation.
The law requires that all who receive
more than $500 year shall pay an
income tax of per cent. The law is
not observed with any degree of uni
formity, there being many who evade
the law by declining to answer or for
getting to see that section of the tax
list. Grand juries have been consider
ing such cases in many sections Of
the State, the result being surprising
the taxpayers in many instances
having come forward with the re
quest that they be allowed to amend
their returns. The new law will place
the sum to be exempt from 81 900 t.

The State of Virginia is undertak-

the contention of Major Anderson is
that the roads are not paying the
proportion of taxes to the State that
is eouitable, that an increase would
not work any hardship, but would be
lust and fair to the other interests OF

people will make a stubborn tight
against the increase and attempt to
prevent it on the ground that 1T IS
contrary to the constitution of the
State. They are unwilling to have
the railroads taxed as are lands and
other property of the State and the
equitable grounds upon which the
Attorney General is insisting that the
matter should be considered, of course,
is not in accord with their views OF

however, is that the State will win II

A news item, published IN seVerai
newspapers of the State. and which
upon their authority, appeared IN the
last issue of this paper, to the enec.
that 1.-TWO of the three gunooats oi
the oyster navy were laid up because
of lack of funds on the part OF the
State Board of Fisheries to operate
them" it is gratifying to us to note
was incorrect, as shown by state
ments submitted to the public by the
chairman of the Board of Fisheries IN
a recent issue of the Times-Dispatch.
He answers his critics, as to two OF
the gunboats being laid up in the ioi-
lowing:
ssThe report to-day from Norfolk to

have given the whereabouts OF TINT
States boats this once to correct mis-
leading statements, but such informa
ton is necessarily preiudicial to tn'
service. The boats and members o
the Board of Fisheries are going AM
at work while critics are asleep"
The chairman is equally explici
too in his statement in regard to Tn
funds of the oyster navy, but whll
showing that they have not been I'M
properly expended, admits that taer
will be a shortage in this as in pre-
vious wears because the appropriate
made by the State is not sufhcieno
meet the expenses. He insists tnat
larger appropriation is necessary an
all will concur with him in his view
in the matter who would have OF
oyster rocks properly protected
the depredations, reported upon u
oyster rocks in the seaside water
are correct, and the Board OF Flsne
les cannot protect them in the futu
any better than they have in the pa
with the boats now in our oyst
navy, a larger appropriation in ia
seems to be necessary, with when
purchase more boats and to meet I
expense of policing our waters
is poor economy to attempt to r
any business with inadequate fun
and certainly it is not to be expecte
as the chairman says, that an app
priation OF 10000 to day will run
growing oyster business as it did ei9
or even four years ago.
