the visit of the Columbia Park boys
to their country. The lads were ten
dered receptions by the governors of
the six states as well as by the mayors
of So cities which they visited. Par
ticular attention was given by the
various foreign officials to a letter Of
recommendation given by Governor
James n. Gillett to Major Peixotto,
which was as follows:

of praise. Not alone has the club given military

Secretary of State.
No expense was incurred for the en-
tertainment of the boys in Australia.
They were taken into the best homes
of the commonwealth as guests and
thus given an insight into the home
life of the people they were visiting
The only trouble experienced along
this line was that there were not
enough boys TO go around. There were
often two applications for each boy in
the party.
To the credit of the boys it should
tanned the most cordial invitations were
extended for a return visit. The de-
meanor OF these full blooded youths
won for them praise wherever they
went in the course of their tour.
The greatest publicity was given
the young Americans in Australia
Page after page in Illustrations and
written matter was devoted to the boys
by the magazines. while the news
papers gave them columns in each city
they visited.
When the boys first arrived in Aus
tralia the people feared that the OBJ
ject OF the trip was to take good Aus
tralian sovereigns out of the country.
The entertainments, therefore, were
not well patronized at first, but as soon
as the boys expressed willingness to
associate with Australian charities
they were given good audiences. More

than $4,000 was paid over to the chari-
ties of Australia as a result Of this ac-
tion on the part of the boys.
After leaving San Francisco last
May the boys landed first at Tahiti
They next stopped at Raratonga, Cook
islands. From there they went to New
Zealand. They made a tour Of the
Sydney. After touring New South
Wales they visited Melbourne, the
capital. They then set sail for Perth
in West Australia, and remained in that
state six weeks. The boys returned to
Adelaide after touring South Australia
and next sailed for Tasmania. Their
stay in Australia was extended in order
that they might meet 130 west Aus
tralia boys. who journeyed about 5000
miles to Sydney to bid them farewell.
From Sydney the boys proceeded to
Brisbane, Queensland. On the way
home they touched at Suva, Fiji ISL
ands and Honolulu.

the flag of the commonwealth on pro-
grams for entertainments and recep-
tions attended by the Columbia Park
boys. The pupils of the Perth girls
school of west Australia made a COM
monwealth flag for the boys and wrote
their own names in indelible ink on
the hem.
The boys were even honored with
original poems. Excerpts from poem
entitled ~. S. Stands for U.s." by Ellie
Weymss of south Australia, dedicated
to the boys last November, are as fol-
lows:

- HlRIY-NlNE sturdy San Fran
cisco lads are returning home
on the steamship Alameda
Wednesday after most unusual
trip. They are the members Of the
Columbia Park Boys club who sailed
for the antipodes May 21, 1909. to
learn the Australian game Of foot
ball. 10 promote a better international
feeling between the boys Of the two
countries. TO widen their knowledge
and to interest Australia in a return
tour OF 40 Australian lads to the United
States.
The trip has been eminently sue
cessfuI. These alert San Franciscans.
recruited chiefly from south OF Market
street, not only learned the Australian
game Of football. but won 27 out OF the
ss games they played, thus beating the
Australians at their own game tThe
boys were most Hospitality received
everywhere. The governor Of each of
the six states in Australia officially re-
ceived the Columbia Park boys and
they are bringing home eleven flags
as gifts from as many local govern
ments visited by them. They have
also learned much OF the ways of the
people they visited and have succeeded
in interesting the Australians in the
proposition OF returning the visit. In
fact. It has already been decided to
send 20 young Australians to the United
States in 1911 that they may gain
knowledge similar to that acquired by
the Columbia Park boys in the course
Of their record breaking trip.
A remarkable feature Of this great
trip. embracing many thousands of
miles. is that the boys have paid their
own way The transportation item
alone amounted to approximately $14.-
OOO. but that sum, as well as the cost
Of incidental items, has been met by
the bows in their entertainments and
athletic exhibitions.
Major Sidney S. Peixotto, who was
instrumental in the organization of
the Columbia Park Boys club II years
ago. and who has since been the head
worker. evolved the idea of taking the
bows on this wonderful trip. He di-
rected the trip, while Garnet Holme,
dramatic coach at the University Of
California. served as business manager.
Harvey Loy was the musical director
and Mrs. Katherine Angelo was the
mother OF the boys" well as pub
licitv agent when occasion demanded.
II was essentially a trip for the edu
alton Of the boys. No salaries were
paid those who accompanied the boys.
The purpose Of the trip was not to
make money. The results speak for

PAPER MILK BOTTLES.
Marquette Mining Journal Comments

try, which are manufactured In Cleve-

is more sanitary than the glass bottle
can be. IL 1t is carelessly handled
though the glass bottle makes a fair
ly satisfactory receptacle in which to
deliver milk. The use of the paper
bottle. however, is a great time saver
for the dairyman, as delays and
trouble caused by the collection OF
glass bottles-to say nothing of re-
