Our consul at Norway's capital
reports that Norway imports 1,20O,-
GOO pounds of American dried apples
annually, of which 10000, came
from the United States direct, while
the main quantity is handled by
German jobbers. The Norwegian
duty on dried apples is 5.3 cents a
pound, in spite of which the impor-
tation is heavy. Letting apples rot
on the ground in this country, when
all Europe wants them, is an absurd
waste and throwing away of money.

Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commander
in chief Of the United Confederate

he was opposed to the proposed re-
union of the blue and the gray at
Washington in 1909. Such a re-
union" he said, would bring veter-

might be %imprudent enough in bear

Captain Richard Claiborne and his

to join their father and mother at Liv-

Claibornes were permanent residents

the greatest European courts, was
counsel for several of the embassies

report to the Italian government the
result of his efforts to collect damages
from the United States for the slaugh-
ter of Italian laborers in a railroad
strike and had proceeded thence to
England on other professional bust

abroad on leave in an effort to shake

The children Of Hilton Claiborne
were not to be overlooked. He would
impress himself upon them, as was his
way. for he was sincerely social by in

VIII Wasp defeat Venus?
This is the momentous question that
the racing tars and even the rocking
chair crew of the S. C. Y. C. are anx-
ious to have answered. and 1t is hoped
today will tell the tale.
If you ask Knoley Bradley, he says
mo" with a capital N, but Jerry
Squires isn't so emphatic. while Joe
Fellows, who designed them both, is a
true brother to the sphinx and knows
his piece by heart.
In the trying out spins Wasp has
been handicapped by light airs, but in
such weather she certainly gives
good account of herself. Her sails fit
very WELL to be so new. but 1t was
hoped taat they would get the stretch
ing they need before the race.
She is trimmed to hair, and so we'll
does she balance that in the light
breeze of Friday morning Joe felt safe
in letting the trim little sloop sail her
self with the sheets flattened.
Should there be plenty of wind when
the boats approach the line this after
noon there Is every reason to believe
that Venus might be a safe bet, for
Wasp is as yet new and untried, and
although Joe has plenty of nerve, 1t
tins to be supposed that he Will let

Difference Is Little
Another thing, most of the tried and
true shellbacks realize that there Is but
little difference between the two racers
and it matters not which wins this
first contest, the real supremacy will
not have been determined until the end
of the season.
Should Wasp be sufficiently victori-
Gus over Venus, it is the intention of
Mr.. Squires to challenge again for the
Corinthian cup at San Francisco. I'm
fortunately for the local boat last
year, the antiquated Sewanaka rules
of the days of Noah were in force up
north, and such playthings as blocks
on pennants were allowed when the
measuring was done.
But experience teaches, and II Wasp
goes to the Golden Gate to finish the
Job Valkyrie started she will be rugged

with her generous beam and short
waterline she should have a very good
chance Of defeating whichever of the
heavy weather boats they start against
her.
Besides the race between Wasp and
Venus today there is one scheduled
for the r class. including Myth. Por-
tola and possibly Katrina. Osborne is
of this class, too, but as she has Joined

pected she will attempt any racing.

11:40 that morning everything was
furled and Gwendolyn's anchor was
down in the Sausalito harbor or the
San Francisco Yacht club.
For the next ten days there ensued
that indescribable round of pleasure
which only those who have enjoyed the
hospitality of the S. f. Y. G. and the
Corinthian Y. c. can understand. and
not many of them can fully remember.
Fearing lest the good times should
never end, Captain Johnston at six
bells of the morning watch on June D
Shanghaied Fred Butler ank Carl West
erveld and slipped away in the dark for
Santa Cruz. AT 2:20 in the afternoon IT
was necessary to anchor under Point
Montara, as the wind had died out and
the current threatened too close an ac-
quaintance with the rocks. When the
tide turned, about eight bells in the
evening, the anchor was weighed and
the yawl tackled out to Pigeon point.
On the way to Santa Cruz Mr. West
erveld begged so hard to be allowed to
take the crew for a cruise In automo-
biles that stop was made at three
bells of the first dog watch to give him
an opportunity.
what we didn't see of Santa Cruz
and Monterey on that trip was hidden
by the DUST" said the bo's'n afterward.
Bidding good by to Westerveld and
Butler on the mornig of June 8, Gwen
dolyn started on the last stage OF her
cruise to the starting point of the big
race. But light, variable winds We're
encountered, and at times even these
failed, and the bo's'n was ordered to
don his wind coaxing uniform and offer
up a sacrifice in song to Old Neptune.
Paymaster Henke caught him at 1t with
| the camera, and the bo s n mas sworn to
be revenged.
Early In the morning of June 10 Point
| Arguello was abeam, and by two bells
Conception had been rounded. Many
longing glances were cast at santa
Barbara, but between coaxing light airs
and fighting the doldrums the skipper
thought it better to hold his course to
San Pedro, where Gwendolyn II finally
anchored before the S. c. Y. c. at 3

messed the mishap from the cockpit
and at the risk of his life he crawled
forward and grasped Capt. Redfern
before the latter had time to get even
thorough ducking.
A quick change to Cry clothing and
one OF Steward Russell's famous COM
binations soon completed the work of
'escue and the incident was quickly for
gotten. In some way 1t was brought
to light when the story of the cruise
was related. but both the skipper and
the navigator made light of it.
By three bells of the first dog watch
the gale had increased so much that
the mainsail was furled and the sturdy
yawl made snug for the night under
the jib and reefed jigger, with sixty
odd fathoms of cable to the sea anchor
TO make her ride easily.
Hardly had things on deck been Sc
cured and ropes coiled when the yawl
took several heavy seas over the stern,
disabling the rudder. For the greater
part of the night the tired crew toiled
with the repairs to this most necessary
adjunct of a sailing vessel, but their
efforts were rewarded with success
and ere morning dawned the rudder
had been restored to it's former state
of usefulness.
Also for the greater part of the night
the mate and the bos'n entered into a
conspiracy of song and dialogue about
the cook and his coffee so that no one
so much as winked an eye. Something
was said also about someone being
seasick, but as the identity of the un-
happy mortal was not revealed it was
impossible to ascertain who celebrated

DRY CELL FACTORY
DOES WELL HERE
GASOLINE MOTORS CREATE
BIG DEMAND
Vita Company Is Compelled to Seek
Larger Quarters, Owing to
the Growth of Busl-
ness

Gasoline motors have created de-
mand for such an increased number of
electrical dry cell batteries that the in
dustry of their manufacture has already
assumed large proportions.
A factory in Los Angeles is now turn
ing out large numbers of the cells daily
and is preparing to move into greatly
enlarged quarters, so that 1t Will be
better able to take care of its rapidly
increasing business.
The Vita Manufacturing company has
been in business less than year, start
ing in d small basement room on North
Main street, and now it is getting ready
to move once more, this time to a fac
tory built especially for it's purpose.
The Pacific coast used approximately
81, 900, 600 dry cells last year, and nearly
all of them were made as far east or
farther than Chicago.
One of the essential features of any
dry cell is that 1t must be fresh, and
by placing the factory in the heart of
the district where its product is con-
sumed, the Vita company has succeeded
in giving the coast a fresher product
and at the same time making a good
business.
1t requires, however, more than fresh
ness alone to make a good dry cell,
and in the Vita some special features
have been incorporated, which it is
claimed by the makers puts it in the
front rank.
A considerable element of risk en-
ters into the embarkation of a firm in
the manufacture of dry cells, and the
ship of fortune of more than one con-
Germ has already been wrecked on the
Pacific coast in the attempt to float a
dry cell factory on the local market.
The quality of the cell now made here
and the business acumen of it's manu-
facturers seems to have guided them
into a haven of financial safety and
prosperity.
