bar in a Harlem saloon. The checks re-
ferred to are the slips from the cash register
on which the machine always puts a num-
Der. Apparently to encourage trade the
proprietor Of this saloon has reversed the
usual procedure, and instead of turning in
the check with your money you turn in
your money and get the check. A hundred
dollar prize il offered for one number =,
generally a pretty high one, and there are
prizes Of $50, 50 cents and 3S cents for other
numbers displayed on the sign. As a

NEW FREIGHT RATES ON
GRAIN FILED BY ROADS
Retaliatory Steps Taken
Because of Hostile
Legislation

WASHINGTON. March so.-In ac-
cordance with their intention ex-
pressed some time ago the railroads
constituting the Western track inter-
ests. the Central Traffic Association
and the Eastern trunk lines, have filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission tariffs increasing their rates
on the eastbound grain and grain
products. to become effective about
April l. This action was taken, it
is understood, because of the enact
ment by the legislatures of some laws
regarded as inimical to the railroads.
The principal bill which the railroads
took exception to was the 3-cent fare
act of the Legislature OF Nebraska.
Soon after the enactment OF that law
officials arranged for meeting in
Chicago, at which 1t was stated that
they not only would test the consti-
tutionality of the measure. but that
1t would be necessary for them to
increase the rates on eastbound grain.
When the new tariffs were filed
with the commission it appeared that
the conditions warranted that body
in making a suggestion to the carriers
that the time of the increased rates
becoming effective should be postponed
temporarily. To this suggestion the
carriers cheerfully acquiesced. In ac-
cordance with the agreement reached
the commission has issued an order
granting the carriers permission to
post and file at once, effective April
l. 1907, amendments postponing the
date of the taking effect of the pro-
posed laws in rate regulation to May
/, leaving the present rates in effect
until that date, and on that date can
ceiling the present rates and making
the advanced rates effective.
In making this order the commits
sion does not bar any complaints that
may be made to it against the ad
vanced rates by shippers. Indeed, 1t
is expected that complaints will be
received, and if they should. the COM
mission will consider them on their
merits.

EXPRESS COMPANIES ARE
CITED FOR A HEARING
Interstate Board Starts an
Inquiry Under Senate's
Resolution

WASHINGTON, March 3o.-At the re-
cent session of Congress the Senate
adopted a resolution directing the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to inquire
into statements that the American,
Adams, United States, Pacific and
Fargo Express companies are
engaged through agents in the business
of buying, selling and handling on con-
signment fruits, vegetables and oysters
entering into interstate commerce, and
to report the results OF it's investiga-
tion TO the Senate.
Today the Interstate Commerce Com
mission issued an order requiring the
express companies named to prepare
and file with the commission state
ments showing in detail how and to
what extent, IL any, they are engaged
in the business indicated by the Sem
ate resolution. The commission ordered,
further, that all commercial associa-
tions, merchants, producers dealers
interested in the proceeding have leave
to appear at he hearings in the case.
No time is set for the hearing.

ST. LOUIS BREWER|Es
TIED UP BY Strike
Local Trade Supplied With
Aid of Forces in
the Offices

ST. LOUIS, March 30.-The strike OF
the United Brewery Workers here and
in East st. Louis has had the effect
of curtailing the output of beer. Brew
ers will continue to supply their city
trade, but it is announced that out-of-
town trade has been abandoned for the
time being. The firemen walked out
last night, but the boilers in all the
breweries were kept hot today by vol
unteers, mostly from the office staffs.
George K. Busch, cousin of August
Busch and nephew of Adolphus Busch,
appeared at the Anheuser-Busch brew
cry this morning faultlessly attired
and ready to continue his regular work
as entertainer"
81 will introduce you to a shovel and
a coal pile this morning" said August
Busch; we've got to keep those boilers
hot" George K. Busch Immediately fell
to work with the shovel.
August Busch, who is vice president
of the concern, stated that he would
himself act as a maltster. He donned
overaIls and went to work. About
three hundred oilers walked out from
the different breweries today This
afternoon 100 union bottlers employed
in the different breweries quit work.
The total number of men now out is
2700.
The strikers are in continuous ses-
sion at Concordia Hall and the employ
ers are closeted at the headquarters
of the ST. Louis Brewing Association.
The brewery drivers local, 1t is said,
is not in sympathy with the strike and
will not go out.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. March 30.-The
brewery workers in six local plants
will strike on Monday because their
employers refuse to break their own
contract.

There has been a scattering
of business centers. New bus
mess centers have sprung into
existence.
There will be a retail center
at Parkside, just as there is in
the Mission and in the Rich
mond districts, and lots in the
business center on the electric
railway line will be very valu-
able.
They will change hands
more frequently than the resi-
dence lots.
They will be in demand and
their prices will advance.
That is an opportunity for
investment that should not be
overlooked.
You are not doing justice to
yourself or your family, or to
those dependent upon you, if
you do not come to Parkside
and see what it offers.
See what splendid opportun-
tiles there are for the safe in
vestment of money that will
earn good profits.
There is an old saying,
"Nothing ventured, nothing
gained" Presume that S true,
but we see very little risk in
investing in Parkside lots.

INCREASED PAY FOR CHIEFS

NEW YORK, March 30.-WTliam II.
Baker. vice president and general man
ager of the Postal Telegraph Cable
Company, announces an increase In the
wages of the company's chiefs and chief
clerks. The increase will be graded ac-
cording to the length of service,
efficiency and responsibility OF the
position. The increase is to take ef-
feet April 1. This is in addition TO the
10 per cent increase which was given
to the operators. traffic clerks, wire
chiefs, assistant chief operators and
managers on March 1.
The San Francisco call., 1907-03-31

all probability your invest
ment will be worth $4,000 or
$4,000, maybe $4,000.
And now you can buy at
Parkside, where all these
things have been done, where
the improvements are made,
where there is no uncertainty,
where 100000 worth of lots
sold last month and where if
you buy lot to-day you can
sell it tomorrow.
The fact that there are no
taxes and no interest at Park
side enables you to know in
advance just what your lot is
going to cost.
There are some lots at Park
side that sell for $3.50, there
, are others that sell at $1,000
and $1,000 and up to $2500, and
you can buy any of them by
paying 10 per cent down and
the remainder in five years
without interest or taxes.
At the end of five years you
will have something worth
while. You will have not only
a lot worth the money you in
vested, but a lot worth two or
three times or four times as
much.
A great change is coming
over San Francisco.
The San Francisco call., 1907-03-31

One hundred per cent in five
years.
That's equal to 20 percent
in one year.
That's more than six times
as much as your savings bank
pays.
Yet, 100 per cent in five
years earned on an investment
at Parkside is no wild claim at
all.
Indeed, we believe the in
vestment will earn 200 per
cent in five years.
That's twelve times as much
as your savings bank will pay.
Besides, the money you in
vest in Parkside is just as safe
as if you invested it in a Saw
ings Bank book.
It's just as safe as though
you rented a box In the safe
deposit vault and placed there
in each month your $15, only
that would be foolishness, be-
cause fhe total amount could
not grow except by your
monthly deposit.
Buy a lot at Parkside.
Pay 800 down and $15
thereafter each month for
sixty months.
In five years you will have
paid the total of $1,000, and in

We see San Francisco with
a population of 100000 in
habitants by 1915.
We see those inhabitants
pushing farther and farther
out each year to build their
residences.
To erect business houses and
to live where life is pleasant,
where the view is delightful.
Where the air is free from
adulteration by contact with
the crowded centers, where
those who love home may build
and improve their own prop

All of these things tend to
create an advance In the prices
of real estate at Parkside.

SALEM'S
FRUIT
CANNERY
Pretty Girls Prepare Tons Of Small
Fruit for Far Away People

To most of the Journals readers
the mention of the Salem Cannins
Company would convey the idea OF
big building some place, where
fruit was put up in cans, boxed and
shipped away. Well, in a sense that
is what 1t is, but It is also much
more, that to be understood and ap-
preciated must be sNen.
Thursday afternoon a Journal re-
porter strolled down that way, and
seeing a sign "visitors must procure
a ticket at the Office" Immediately
became possessed of a desire to go
through the institution, without get
ting a ticket, of course, for the no.
tice looked like dare, and no news
paper man worth the name will shy
at a dare. The means used does not
matter, but that the scheme worked
Is evidenced by this story.
The reporter went In where the
other good things go in, lodging be-
tween wagons that waited in a long
line to dump their loads OF fruit,
and then he sat up and began to take
notice.
At the door three or four young
fellows we're emptying strawberries
from the small, pound boxes. into
lows whisked away, as fast as they
laws wicked away, as fast as they
were filled. The reporters curlos-
ity was aroused and he concluded TO
follow the berries. This took him
back into a big room where $50
girls, each brighter-eyed and more
rosy fingered than the others, were
doing all sorts of things to the big
crimson fruit It's a sure thing that
q strawberry has no idea what is
coming to It when II enters the can
merry doors. but 1t soon finds out.
The color scheme OF the big room
Is red. Long tables are arranged
cross ways OF the room, suspended
from the ceiling joists, for convent
ence. BY this arrangement there
are no legs under the table except
those belonging to-but that is an
other story. anyway they are in no
body's way, II adds much, however,
to the convenience of the workers
and also makes the scrubblng OF the
floor, a nightly occurrence, much
easier. Around these tables the nim-
girls are busy as bees
In a clover patch, hulling, grading,
sorting and chattering, just n little
bit; for the work is paid for by the
piece. and the less chatter and more
berries, the more money-and that's
what the girls are there for.
