The San Francisco call., 1908-12-31

ceived word yesterday from Wash
i ington that the National Red
Cross had appropriated $4,000
from the San Francisco fund for the
benefit of the Italian sufferers. The
showed a balance in the fund of sSs7.-
26725. Almost all of this is held in
eastern cities. and very large part is
the sum still due from the National
Red Cross.
A special meeting of the executive
committee of the local relief organiza-
ton. known as the San Francisco relief
and Red Cross funds, met yesterday in
the Butler building. Those present
were: James D. Phelan, Rudolph
Spreckels, NJ. H. de Young, Thomas
Magee and W. F. Dohrmann. After the
meeting the following statement was
given out:
THE executive committee of the San
Francisco relief and Red Cross funds
has been in consultation with the
American National Red Cross in Wash
ington and has been advised that there
has been appropriated $4,000 out of
the San Francisco relief fund for
Italian sufferers"
While no member would discuss the
action taken, it is understood that the
o,,eStion arose a c ~ +be nee of tho San
Francisco fund for the victims of the
Italian disaster. The local committee
took the position that it was without
power to divert the fund from the pur-
pose to which it was specially dedi-
Gated. The members of the committee
took the view that they were merely
trustees and could carry out merely the
duties laid upon them.
WILL RAISE BIG SUM
The local contributions to the fund
for the relief of the Italian earthquake
sufferers amounted yesterday to s9,25s.
This is regarded as merely the begin
ming, and it is believed that large
sum will be raised in this city. The
donations to the amount of $4,000 OF
this sum $1,000 was telegraphed from
New York by w. B. Bourn, president
Of the Spring Valley water company. A
like amount was given by the White
House through its proprietor, Raphael
Weill. The Brewers protective asso-
citation gave $780, and the members of
the Wholesale dairy produce exchange
$165. Small contributions poured in by
the score. and when Treasurer Allen
Knight of the local branch of the Red
Cross added his figures. he found a total
of $1,000.
This is only the beginning" said
knight. Il believe that we will col
lect a much larger amount tomorrow"
Many of the banks of the city opened
subscription lists yesterday and COL
lected a total of s4,2es. The Italian
American bank received the following
cablegram from President Sbarboro
from Venice:
Sicily and Calabria, from where
just returned, 100000 dead. Open sub
scription."
In a few minutes the bank had col
lected, including its own contribution.

In a recent interview, while intro

Mr.. Cooper said: There is Just one
way. in my opinion. to maintain gen.
cral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,
flabby, distended stomachs This has
been caused by many generations of
over-feeding and lack of exercise. until
today the entire civilized race is af-
fected. This is the true cause of most
of the i'll health of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach

ALFALFA REPLACES WHEAT
w. w. PHlLLiPPl TELLS OF 81.
VERSiFlED FARMING IN
HUDSON BAY DISTRICT.

w. w. Phillippi. one of the leading
farmers Of the Hudson Bay country,
arrived in the city this morning to at
tend the meeting Of the horticultural
association, which convenes in the Y.
NJ. c. A. auditorium tomorrow morn
ing. Mr.. Phillippi has been engaged
in wheat growing in this state for
many years past, and now owns farm
of several hundred acres located in the
heart of one of the most fertile parts
of the state of Oregon
Speaking of the prospects of an
excellent crop in his neighborhood. Mr.
Phillippi this morning sounded the
keynote to the change being made by
farmers in the use of their land in the
following:
Alfalfa and fruit are rapidly taking
the place Of the vast wheat fields so
noticeable in our section a few years
ago, farmers having deviated from the
old time custom of sowing their till
able land to one crop. Diversified
farming is rapidly gaining ground in
the west and within a short time, the
endless eXpanses of waving wheat
fields will have given way to a vari-
ETY..
Il am getting my land sowed to al
falfa just as fast as | can. and my
wheat acreage is consequently cor
respondingly diminished. Others are
following the same line of action with
fruit
THE acreage of fall sOWn wheat is
the Hudson Bay country this year is
lighter than for many years past. and
the crops are in the finesgt possible
condition. with little apprehension by
growers as to a probable freeze severe
enough to damage the plants. I never
saw fall-sown grain in better condi-
ton. and from reports I have heard,
the prospects throughout the entire
wheat belt are equally promising"
Mr. Phillippi's farm is about six
miles from Milton. giving him easy
access to this city by the interurban
route. He will entertain number of
Yakima delegates to the horticultural
convention at his home during their
visit in this part of the state.

WOOD
DRUG ON MARKET
DEALERS, WITH DUMPS OVER
FLOWING, CUT PRICE FROM
$3.50 TO $500.

The state of Washington in general,
and Walla Walla county in particular
will derive some benefit from the
small financial furry which was said
to be in force several weeks ago, and
as result wood, which was previous
ly selling for $3.50 per cord on the
dump has dropped to $500 per cord,
and is a drug on the market al that fig
ure. There is every reason to believe
that the price will drop still lower.
Not alone has the money trouble
brought about this result, but that un-
easiness. combined with the balmy
weather that has prevailed over the
northwest, has been responsible for the
change in quotations.
All the wood dumps in the noun
tains around Kamela and Meacham are
full to Overlooking, and but little wood
is moving. Shedding is said to be excel
lent. but little hauling is being done,
for the reason that the dumps are full
and none are being emptied by export
shipments. Wood choppers are plenti-
full, and will now work for $1.00 per
cord. where, two months ago, they de-
manded $500 and 1925 per cord.
