with objection on the part Of tho milk
dealers and ice cream manufacturers.
The latter viii be especially affected
by the change, for the greater part
Of the cream used by them is carried
by the express companies and comes
Aom distant points.
shippers say that the charges are
unfair and that the carrying Of milk
and cream is a profitable business at
present rates. Under the old rate tile
cost Of returning empty cans was in
cluded in tho original charge and

new ruling. instead Of reducing the
cost Of transportation 10 cents and
then adding that sum for the return
Of the empty can. thereby equalizing
the cost. the companies propose to add
10 cents to the rate now charged.

Always on these occasions the father
would round out the performance by
contributing a reel or two from his
trusty fiddle.
In early days they learned from long
association the various dialects of the
California tribes of Indians. The Ian
guage of any tribe Is to them intellig-
ible and they possess a memory fund Of
Indian songs which they also are able
to reproduce on their f1ddles.
These Indian songs are Joaquin Mil
ler's favorftes; by the hour he has the
interesting old duo play them for him
and he never tires or their weird mel
ody in the heavy tremulous eontralto
that characterizes them. These, they
will doubtless soon discern, will prove
the best drawing card when they tune
up" on Pay Streak at the Alaska Yu-
kon exposition. Neither they nor the
songs they play are out OF place there.
They are necessary component in that
motley throng.
In all their experiences with Indians
they have deduced the following con-
clusion: "They are pretty much like
other folks except that they can exist
without salt and salt is the one thing
besides water that white man must
have"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-07-11

All these experiences, and many more,

the hour, and when urged play their
adde's.
Neither can read note OF music. nei-
Their know a clef from a syncopated
fourth, but they evoke fair grade of
melody and keep time by "patting juba"
with their feet in a manner that makes
one think of Illinois husking bees and
big roomy barns filed with a merry
crowd, dancing under broad faced
harvest moon.
II one breaks the time or strikes a
false note the other stops and scolds
with childish petulance. but such inter
ruptions are rare from the fact that
they have played together SO many
years and their repertoire is so limited
that they are almost letter perfect.

Roses" a potpourrl of John Lewis ex-
periences while California was in its
disorderly adolescence.
These experiences are neither more
hairsplitting nor more commonplace
than the usual accounts handed down
of those times. but because of the fact
that the old men have outlived their
time, that they regard themselves as
phases of western life and worth, the
pittance asked for the booklet, illit-
crate. fantastic and disjointed, makes
them unique and compels attention
Once every year they repair to the
Joaquin Miller home at Fruityale
heights, there to break bread with the
venerable poet, whom they regard as a
brother literatus, to exchange yarns and
reIive the exciting days in early Cali
fornia history, to play their old fiddles
and voice again the fandango and bal
lad of the time before the gringo
came and to have their pictures taken
with 1.-THE poet of the Sierras, for
whom they have an admiration that is
childish in its volume and sincerity.
Once a year in the old wagon with
which they peddle honey they drive

and find a welcome for themselves, their
