statement, but he affairms with great
affirmation that the so.called loganber-

respectable person will mention them in
the same breath. Luther says the log
anberry is a soft, mushy, tasteless thing
that viii not ship, is unlovely to look
upon, and produces juice with no more
virtue than circus lemonade. That s the
limit in criticism, and it has weight of
authority, though there are some auth
critics who disagree. However, the

the disagreement-his name is Burbank,
and that ought to be enough to satisfy

The exposition management hopes to
make November 2 the greatest day of
the big fair. This is to be San Fran
cisco day, and crowd of 100000 is the
ambition. The largest crowd heretofore
was that of "0pening day" total of
226,000. But every stress is placed on
this final great day, and there is gem
eral confidence that the desired figure

ors have arranged to give away 100000
gifts. Besides the monster parade,
there will be sham battle during the
afternoon between the United States
army and the naval forces in the bay.

Charles Niles and Silvio Pettiross are
giving both day and night flights, and
the flights prove great attractions.
Christofferson is also flying in mono
