WHERE SERVANTS STICK
How Vienna Families Reward
Faithful EMPLOYEES

The office of the chief of police of
Vienna was the scene a few days ago
of a ceremony which brought hope to
the hearts of some house keepers who
had sad experiences with servants.
There were assembled there, says a
Vienna paper, 81 women, the Oldest SS
years and the youngest 5s. All were
servants in Vienna families. None had
been less than 32 years in her present
place and one had seen so years of con-
tinuous service They received long
service prizes from societies and indi
viduals who in that way recognize good
and faithful service. There were 10
prizes of 315 kronen each, 10 Of 200
kronen and one of 1S2 -kronen. The
veteran Klara Kratchowill, So years
old, was a maid OF all work" Bar
bara Thier was only 20 years old, but
had been housemaid and later house
keeper in the same family for SO years.
There was one man in the party, Franz
Hamette, &C years old, for 80 years
valet in the family of Kommerzienrat
Schmarda. The pessimist who wrote
about the ceremony said: II assert that
no servant who goes to a family today
will remain a servant there for so or
for 80 years, and I trust 1 may be
spared to applaud myself If right or
withdraw my assertion if wrong

1t is with a degree of pride that
the owners of the National Brewing
Co. of San Francisco speak of their
establishment as the Most Modern
and Complete Brewing Plant in the
West" a compliment well merited
and which must be conceded to
them even by competitors, as the
following unsolicited testimonial
paid them by the highest authority
in the land. The United States
Health Bulletin, the American au-
thority on matters of health, SANTA
tion and hygiene, in an article on
Modern Brewing and HEALTH" is
most flattering:
"One of the several breweries of
whose product we have spoken be-
fore as reaching a high degree of
perfection from its care in prepara-
tion, its freedom from adulteration,
together with the purity of the
water used in its manufacture and
the sanitary and hygienic methods
employed in the handling of it dur
ing both production and delivery.

BULLS HEAD
OIL WORKS.
Manufactures Long List
-. of
CRUDE OIL PRODUCTS
The Bulls Head oil Works are To-
Gated about a mile above Martinez
at Bulls Head Point and comprise
in the neighborhood of 100 acres.
The Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe are within easy access,
reached by a short switch of about
$50 yards. River boats pass the
works TO and from Stockton, and
as the refinery was made q terminal
point by the railroad, the problem
of shipping, which worries so many
manufacturing concerns, is prac-
tically done away with.
CAPACITY 5000 BARRELS DAILY
The plant consists of three 10000
barrel tanks, a couple of 5000 bar
ranging down to so barrels;
nine crude oil stills and three
asphalt stills, the former rang
ing from 100 to 500 barrels ca
pacity; four agitators. two of $50
and two of 500 barrel capacity; a
three story brick compounding
house, fully equipped with modern
machinery; one story brick office
building; brick barrel house; a
brick power house: a brick failing
house; two boiler houses; a large
galvanized iron storehouse, besides
several smaller buildings and tanks.
SHIPPING FACILITIES
On account of the situation of the
refinery its business is not confined
to domestic trade alone. Shipments
are made to all points of the Orient,
Alaska, Mexico, Central and South
America, the Hawaiian and the
Philippine islands. By rail business
IS carried on with points as far
south as Arizona, as far north as
Seattle, and as far east as the vari-
Gus towns and camps of Nevada.
In the Bulls Head Oil Works only
California crude oil is refined, and
all the products which can be made
from that crude oil are manufactured.
Nothing is claimed for the goods
which the use of them does not
prove, and this is found to be of
great advantage, as such a policy
prevents disappointed customers and
insures repetition of orders.
The officers of the company are
Charles E. Ertz, president; Charles
Coleridge Ertz, vice president;
Charles A. Brown, secretary, with
Offices at California street, S. F.,
in the Santa Marina building.
The goods manufactured are as
follows: Gasolines, benzines, naph-
tina. several grades of kerosene, dis
tillates of varying gravities, from
the stove distillate of % deg. to the
high grade known as Vapor Engine
Oil. of 56 deg; neutral oils, pale and

Like 4 blow in the flee 10 the rail-
roads of the United States came Monday
the announcement Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission that it will investigate
in advance of complaints any proposed
increase in freight rates in order to be
able to act Immediately should protest
come from shippers
Provocation for the warning is found
by railroad managers in the recent an
nouncement of the adoption of the in
creased rates in the Southwestern railway
territory. The provision of law which re-
squires tariff schedules showing the pro-
posed increases to be filed with the COM
mission 80 days prior to the date of their
becoming effective makes it possible for
it to make the investigation proposed.
Once made and the evidence in hand,
they will be able to take immediate
action when complaint is filed.
Railroad officials in Washington regard
the notice served by the commission as
warming that an increase of freight rates
on their part will not be tolerated. 1t is
looked upon as an invitation to shippers
to promptly contest any increase in rates
and bring the same to the attention of
the commission.

On Friday, January 10, 1905, at the
stock convention in the city of Denver,
DR.. J. NJ. Wilson of Douglas made a
strong plea for the turning Owe
of all the grazing lands Of the arid
states to the department of agriculture,
in order that the grazing privileges
might be rented to the stockmen of the
west. After a very able opening, DR.,
Wilson presented his plan as follows:
Time for Common Sense.
The time has come to use a little
common sense and to do away with al
conflict by getting on a basis of justice
and civilization. Let us cut out all
of the heathenism, wrong and murder
that has followed the range from Alb
rams time to the present. Let us get
on a basis of Peace on Earth and Good
Will to Men, and twentieth century
civilization.
