RICE TAKES PLACE OF
FLOUR IN BRITISH GUIANA
Only Also Tons Is Exported of
4Z,425 Tons Production

Consul Arthur J. Clare of Georgetown
furnishes the following report on the
Z cultivation of rice and sugar in British
: Guiana;
The area under rice cultivation in
British Guiana in 1909 was officially es-
umated at $4,000 acres, against 1850
acres for the fiscal year 19O3-4 and
29,9l5 for the year 1907-S. Official fig
ures for the fiscal year l9OS-9 show that
the production of rice was 1851 200
pounds, Of which S,3OO677 pounds were
exported and T6.550.523 pounds con-
sumed locally. The production per acre
of the first and second crops is prac-
tically the same.
Taking the population of British Gui-
ana as 304,0S9 the per capita consump-
l-tiOn Of locally grown rice is estimated
TO be PSI pounds. The amount of rice
imported last year was only 301. $50
pounds. Roughly speaking twice as
much rice is consumed as -four. and
only one bag of rice is exported out
of ten produced locally. The number of
pounds Of rice available for export
during the calendar year 1909 was
10,594,S5l and that available to
Marcn >, 1910. 2.66o,2S4 pounds.
From an authoritative source it is
learned that the cost of producing one
. acre of rice is S27; including IS rent
on lands that have been previously cul-
tivated with this cereal
The area under sugar cultivation for
the nScal year ended March 81 1909
was 1870 acres. The amount available
for export for the calendar year 1909
was 1858 long tons. and TO March 2,
1910. 1887 tons. The indications are
-Ghat this years crop will equal or ex-
ceed that of 1903. On the best equipped
and most favOrably located plantations
the cost Of production per acre of sugar
is stated to be $3.50.

CHURCHES UNITE
FOR LOCAL OPTION
Representatives of Three De-
nominations Garry Campaign
Into Noe Valley District
Segregation OF Saloons From
Residence Districts Strongly
Urged by Speakers

District local option" was the topic
of union mass meeting held last night
at the Lebanon Presbyterian church,
Twenty-third and Sanchez street, un-
der the joint auspices of the Epworth
M. E. church, the Centennial Christian
church and the Lebanon Presbyterian
church.. Rev. r. Logan acted as chair
man.
The meeting was for the purpose of
carrying the local option campaign
into the Noe valley district and arous-
ing the citizens of that section to ac-
ton. The work proposed is in accord
with that which was started by Miss
Marie Brehm several months ago, and
which is being carried on by Rev. A.
Z. Bane, state superintendent or the
Anti-Saloon league.
Rev. j. S. Troxell was the principal
speaker of the evening.
The saloon is degenerating infiu-
ence in the social life of city" he de-
clared. "A large percentage of the eX-
listing pauperism, crime and misery are
produced directly by the saloon.
The labor unions have become the
strongest antagonists against the sa-
looms. In the last convention of the
American federation of labor at To-
ronto Can. the labor leaders put them
temperance. John B. Lennon, their ma
tiona1 treasurer, said the trade union
movement was opposed to child labor,
yet who could deny that the liquor was
driving into industrial life boys and
girls who should be in the schoolroom.
The liquor traffic tends to decrease
wages.
The question of no saloons for resi-
dence sections has already been favor
ably acted upon by a large majority of
the great cities. 1t confines the sa-
looms to a limited section, where they
can be better patrolled, thus keeping
young people from the temptations of
iptemperance.'
Rev. r. Logan spoke along similar
lines, after which he introduced John
w. Sweeney. the labor leader. Sweeney
said:
I'VE are beginning to realize more
fully each day the necessity of restrict
ing the saloons to a certain district.
There are numerous reasons for this
action, but the principal one is the
protection of our young children. Our
homes must be kept separated from
evil surroundings and temptations.

- Speaking Of the practice of making
the novena. Father McCue, pastor of
St. Anne's. is quoted in Saturday s
issue Of the Monitor:
THE noVena in honor of St Anne
S celebrated all over the world. Since
we have been associated with St. Anne s
Of the western continent and have come
7Snto possession of a relic Of st. Anne,
4 ,
about one-eighth of an inch square, the
devotion has been steadily growing.
This is not due solely to the simple
possession ofsthe relic, but also to the
many wonderful cures that have been
wrought by its very touch.
o. -TESTIMONY OF MANY CURES

many wonderful cures and favors that

it right TO let those who have not yet
tasted OF the joys Of relief, unobtain-

VOtion TO ST. Anne has become more
widespread every day as the wonderful
! cures that have been wrought, and the

Now a great many people think that

with the people. Now this shrine is

Hand and Face of Young
Explorer
ESPECIAL Dispatch 10 The Call

WILLOW CAMP, July 17.-Delving
into the mysteries of a battered iron
bound chest. which he found in cave
on the ocean shore mile south of here
this morning, Randolph Johnson, the II
year old son of Peter Johnson, build
ing contractor of Mill Valley. accident
ally broke small bottle, and his right
hand was seriously mangled and his
face cut by an explosion that Followed
The lad was hurried to West Point on
Mount TamaIpais In a buggy and taken
to Mill Valley on a gravity car, where
his injuries were dressed by DR.. j. j.
Spottiswood.
The boy is unable to explain what
caused the explosion, but from his de-
scription of the bottle it is thought to
have contained nitroglycerin. How the
chest came to be in the cave and the
presence of the explosive are deep mys-
terieS.
RENDEZVOUS FOR OUTLAWS
When the lads injuries are healed
the authorities will ask him to show
them the cave, and an investigation
will be made 1t is thought that the
place may have been a rendezvous or
hiding place for outlaws who frequented
this county in early days.
Young Johnson came upon the cavern
by accident He was climbing a cliff
discovered a cleft between two large
boulders. His youthful love OF adven-
ture was aroused and he ventured eau
tiously through the opening into the
interior of a gloomy natural grotto-
A few old rags lay in one corner and
several rusty implements were heaped
against the rock wall. In the dim light
he made out a small chest near the
other relics. The hinges were so rusted
by the weather that he pried open the
lid with little difficulty.
BOTTLE FOUND WITH METAL
He felt several pieces of metal and
other objects inside, but by some unfor-
tunate freak of fortune he picked up
the bottle first. 1t slipped through his
fingers and instantly exploded. With
his face cut and his hand badly torn
the boy succeeded in making his way
back to>Willow camp and securing aid.
The report of the finding of the cave
has caused great excitement here.
Searching parties are out looking for
it in the hopes that the chest may con-
tain treasure. Several ingenious sum-
mer residents have advanced the theory
that the old box may have been the
property of one of the bay pirates who
operated along the Marin shore in the
past. These people support their the
ory by stating that the explosive was
placed on top of the contents~of the
chest to prevent anything being stolen
Should the cave be found 1t is doubt
full whether the discoverers will dare
enter it, as many fear that other traps
have been set for treasure seekers.

escaped.
