Anderson, to go to
 San Francisco and personally invest1-
 gate the hotel situation I quote the. following telegram from MT. Anderson,
 which explains itself:
 ssRumors throughout East regarding excessive hotel rates absolutely un- founded. I have personally inspected rooms and rates at several San Fran cisco hotels and found prices not only reasonable but even lower than same laccommodat in New York, Chi cago. Cleveland, St. Louis, Philadel- phia and other cities of the East which i I have visited within past months3
 Two hundred of our leading hotelsa
 roorning and apartment houses repre- lsenting approximately twenty thou- sand rooms have registered their ac- Jcommoda tions with the Official Expo
 s1tion Hotel Bureau giving rates room by room, and guaranteed in writing to 1 maintain during the Exposition. 2 An inspection of these rates shows accom- Ilnodations for less than equal accom-
 n1odations in eastern cities The res- taurants and cafes are maintaining same schedule of moderate prices that Iwere in force last year Ofhcial hotel

 be glad to use it, as it certainly of value to their readers.

Town in Terror And Houses Are Barricades Against
 Mysterious Animal.

Bedding, April 13.-Tt's. a bear, all right. Last week several citizens of tRedding declared they had seen an 'honAst-to- goodness bear in the woods just outside of this city. They lost standing in the community at once. How could there be a bear within 50 miles of New York? All bunk!
 But. when one of James Greens horses was found today, half eaten, on his farm apologies were in order. Also there was a general scurry in doors by the populace. The farmers are satisfied that nothing short of a, bear could treat MT. Greens horse so roughly. Tonight Reading is a. closed town.
 Front doors bristle with padlocks. Ancient. rifles have been cleaned and bright lights burn in every house. Wives are sharing the vigil with their husbands and the village board of strategy is carrying on it's deliberation over the telephone. The first com c1usion is that the beast has been vvintertng in Devils Den, in a piece inaccessible forest, nearby.
