Captain “Pete” Ott went out on the City of Para as pilot last Wednesday, but is now an unwilling passenger on his way to Panama. It was blowing a gale off the heads when the mail steamer went out, and although the.pilot boats Lady Mine and Gracie S made several attempts to take the pilot off they all failed and the Para had to get under way and take Captain Ott along with her. The strings were well ual, and the reeds, bar a the pitch once ot twice which ibly due to the damp weather, free and accurate.

Last summer when the Pure Foods Convention met in this city its dele were from all parts of California. What its members desired to accomplish was discussed and the work of putting m ters in shape to be presented to the com- ing Legislature was left to the pure foods committee of the Producers’ and Man: facturers Assocjation. With the ass ance of Attorney Dunne of the District Attorney’s office a bill has been framed | on the lines indicated by the convention. The bill provides for the creation of a pure foods bureau or commission, with officers and subordinates to see that the forced, etc. In the meantime the same matter was taken up By the R | gents of the University of State Horticultural Soclety, | Association and other bodles.
