START new CITY
Government JAN. !

The charter committee struck a
snag last night when it attempted
to fix the time for holding city
elections. In order not to get the
antagonism of present city officials
the committee concluded to put
the election for commissioners
next April. 1t was discovered,
however, to do this would leave
the city without government be-
tween the time the new charter
is adopted and the old one voted
out, as the new abolishes the old
completely.
There is much opinion against
having the city election In the
spring anyway.
Then the registration is likely
to be small. Besides the officials
then take their new places in the
middle of the fiscal year. City Of
ficials generally are in favor OF
having city officers elected in the
fall or winter to take Office Janu-
ard 1. Then each administration
could start in on a new fiscal year.
The whose matter was referred
back to the subcommittee to un-
ravel.
The committee adopted the re-
call provision requiring % per
cent of the vote at the last election
and not less than $500 in any
event to call an election to GUST
an official.

Mr.. Hill more than 100000, and
1t lies in a particularly favored

be known to fame hereafter as
the Maryhill tract, and the rail-

why Maryhill?" the question
might be asked.
Simply because Mr.. Hill's moth

and his wife, the daughter of
James J. Hill, was likewise chris
tened Mary, and the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Hill was
named Mary, so all three of the
Mary Hills shared in the honor.

The RISE IN THE
PRICE Of MEAT

EDITOR STAR: The corporations
who control the meat supply of this
town have seen fit to raise the prices
of meat directly a thousand or so new
consumers have arrived here, al
though it is only short time ago they
complained that there was no market
for their beef cattle.
The alleged reason is that the
drought has caused such mortality
among the herds that beef has become
scarce
This explanation is so improbable
that it must be taken cum grano sails
A further rise in the price of meat is
promised, so the outlook is becoming
serious to meat consumers of limited
means.
Beef may be imported from the
mainland, but according to the opinion
of the owner of a large sheep ranch In
Montana, who was recently in tins
town, there is no mutton in the United
States for export as the supply is
barely sufficient for home consumption.
There is however abundance of ex-
celIent mutton to be obtained in Aus
tralia, in fact the only decent NUT
ton | have seen here is the so-called
New Zealand mutton. As a matter
Of fact since the direct steam service
to New Zealand has been discontinued
no New Zealand mutton is imported
here although it is far superior to
Australian mutton.
Australian rabbits would also be
largely consumed here if the vendors
would be satisfied with a reasonable
profit. Rabbits can be imported
from Sydney for forty cents per pair at
the outside.
They are sold here at present for
the prepOsterous price of one dollar
per pair. Naturally their sale is
limited. A well cooked rabbit is q
savory dish resembling poultry, and
furnishes a wholesome and palatab e
change of food.
Last year $4,000 tons of rabbits were
exported from Australia to Great Bril-
tain, where they are much appre-
ciated as affording a welcome and
cheap article of diet
The essential articles of human food
such as meat and fish. are dearer here
than in the United Kingdom or any
of the British Colonies There is nc
reason why this should be so, except
an overwhelming desire on the part
of the meat and fish monopolies IN
these islands to get rich quick at the
expense OF the rest of the community

PARTRIDGES MAY
Be BROUGT HERE

Local sportsmen, and the cunning
brigade particularly, are interested in
a consignment of $50 Hungarian par
tridges from Bohemia which arrived
in San Francisco.
The birds were three weeks en- route
and the total loss was but fifteen, a
remarkable showing in the shipment
of wild birds for so long a trip Many
of the new game birds were imme-
diately sent to different points in Sac
ramento Tehama, Amador, Calaveras,
the southern part of the State, etc,
and to the recently established game
farm at Haywards. The birds arriv-
ed in fine condition and were shipped
in cages divided into six pens. Four
and five birds were placed in each pen.
These Hungarian or black partridge
es are a very beautiful game bird with
the important qualification of thriving
and finding a congenial habitat close
to and in settled and cultivated dis
tricts. They have been already liber-
ated i'm fourteen different counties OF
California, from Siskiyou to San Die
go. Reports have been received to the
effect that the newcomers have taken
to their changed environment, pairing
last year and raising many broods OF
young chicks. Conditions of climate
and country there are practically tht
same as in the country they come
| from.
These birhs. it is claimed, will get
along in harmony with the valley
quail. They are, in size, little larger
than the California mountain quail
with a notified breast and cinnamon
! colored feathers nthe head. A dis
ItinguishinE marx Is the white spot or
the breast Ia habits they are some
what similar to the Bob White quail
being moro of a ground of open helC
bird than the valley quail.
Quite a number of local shooting
enthusiasts are OF the opinion that the
| Hungarian partridge would do we Iii
! Hawaii It would certainly make {
valuaI,n addition to the list Of loca
game birds. Birds that are so hardl
as 20 stand a trip from Europe t
San Francisco, would be just the kim
to import here. The matter is bein
looked into by three prominent loca
hunters and it is not improbable tina
an order for some Of the birds may
