saloon men Thousand of people turned out to see the campaign opened and the greatest interest was manifested in the battle This was the nrst time in mam Years that the advocates of the saloon and the ponents of liquor met the issue on the same floor and argued be question The Council for the Suppression of the aloon recently orcamzed jn Oakland started the contest advocating before the Council trie passage of an ordinance requiring all the saloons of the city to sion ot the saloons would have success in the fight against them The liquor traffic was the greatest foe which conld be encountered in the salvation of sours The speaker said that he expected God to lead them on to victory George Egrrleston said that it was quite a task to abolish the liquor traffic bat be believed that it could be abolished if the ballot were put in the little white hands of the women of tbe city A Sherman Jr president of the County Christian Endeavor Union said he had just come from tbe council chamber where the council was considering the liquor question He hoped the members of that body wonld do their duty in tbe matter Their future political career depended on the action the members would take in the matter Oakland was not so badlv off because of the saloons ss San Francisco was but she was bad enough It had been said that the closing ot the saloons on Sunday would ruin Oakland commercially But such was not the case Those who made that plea would build a seawall around the city of beer kegs and emptj whisky bottles Rev Dr 8 Chapman said that in Dayton 0 here the Council had sub muted a lquor law to the people tbe peo pie sustained it He was surprised to find thai tbe law had been supported I three fourths of the saloon keepers The liquor men were unconscious of the wrong they were doing the cit If the saloon I ordinance passed the liquor dealers might be brought tinder the influerce of the churches Several other speeches were He delivered a rtront speech He closed with a very impassionate appeal to the Council Professor I Inskeep president ot the Municipal League was present in tbe interests ot tEat organization but the hour was late and he did not speak As soon as the speech making was concluded Chairman Towle called for the pleasure of the committee Councilman Dow moved that tbe committee recommend the ordinance for passage in accord ance with the petition Tbe motion was carried by a vote of 7 to 4 The opposing votes were those of Bassett Brosnahan Heitmann and Watcmson The result was greeted with tremendous cheering from the crowded lobby This onh a temporary victory for the anti saloon people The ordrnance will be tonally passed by the Council It is stated on good authority that Mayor Divie will then veto it It requires eight votes to pass the ordnance over his veto The anti saloon pop have only seven votes in the Council The saloon men say that in the end they will win the battle as thev have four solid rotes in the Council THE

redwood and that though the telegraphic order came from so remote a qu irter of the earth the lumber wai on Its way the ver next dav There are thousands of varieties of trees and millions of acres of forests not onl ir America but in Europe and might be thought that it would be an eas mat ter for a lead penc I manufacturer to find his lumber ir a neighbor ng forest but such is not the case It rqu

br ngs up a lother interesting fact There are large factories in Germany Fr ince a i 1 Be ginni ch make lead pencils but Kuss a has fixed a hieh tariff on this I artic to encourage the home manufac

from Mexico and she bnv her wood from Honda and Califonta and she makes leal pencils and stamps them with the different Enropea and Amencin brtnds The Mikado subjects do not lies tale to appropriate the re puts non of any maker ll is sa that the Japanese have a gift for imitating Western manufactures which premises to make them most formidable competitors in all branches of industry it any rate thev are producing lead pencils wub Eu ropean or American brands at a remarkably low ngure It is not anticipated that the California mountain redwood will take tbe place of 1 lorida cpdar or that it will ever rank as high as a desirab wod for lead pencils but it Is very tood material for that purpose espenall for second grade pencils a as Florida cedar seems to be ot such limited quantity and consequently of such high price that tbe redwood of this btate will be abundantly used for tle purpose Present on uf Cruelty The Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Children at the May meeting
