The field in Japan for California malt belng new, the totals of the sales so far, represented by dollars, would not make a very imposing show- ng, as a matter of course, but the let- ters that are recelved and the news brought home by Californians who have | traveled recently in Japan lead the malt- ered a market of future real commercial value.

The English probably have had a mal share of the Japan trad tofore, with their commercial the mans. California_barley in the malt first traveled over two oceans to get to England and was there pr pared for the Oriental market. There een no reason for this that was evident, except that the California product of malt was seemingly unknown directly to the Japanese. Since the commerclal travelers and commercial agents of California have invaded Japan on their respective mis- sions, the eyes of the Japanese have been opened and the manufactuters of this | State have also seen some things with | which they were previously unacquainted. The local brewerles’ supply houses peo- undergolng strict scrutiny in a trade way. No figures are obtainable as to the e tent that the recently acquired Oriental trade for brewers’ supplies has reached It is well known, however, that there are quite large orders going forward in the near future.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee yes- | terday morning decided to recommend to | the board that R. C. de Boom be allowed $500 in settlement of damages alleged to have resuited to his land by the construc. tion of a culvert at the crossing of Mis- slon and Canal streets. De Boom ap- peared before the committee and claimed that he had been damaged to the extent of $6000, but was willing to compromise for $0%. Supervisor Collins sald that the damage did not exceed $3% and moved | that the sum be allowed, but at the sug- estion of Supervisor Aigeltinger $500 was xed upon for recommendation. Garrett & Welch were awarded the eon- tract to care for the Fourth-street bridge for $3% a month. This includes necessary oll, fuel, etc., and will effect a saving of $40 & month to the city. The H. T.

EMMA CARTER AND MRS. JOHN TONNINGSEN OF HARMONY CHAPTER. ! ® HE disagreeable weather last evening did not keep the many friends of Y the members of Harmony Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star I from Golden Gate Hall, where the officers-elect were installed in public B for the current Eastern Star year. The large hall, which was crowded »: with hundreds of prominent ladies and gentlemen, was decorated in the @ east with heavy maroon drapings, In the center of which hung the American & flag, and above that blazed in brilllant colors and electric effects the beautiful & five-pointed star of the order. At the stations in the north, south and west | ¢ there were rieat displays of flowers. A special feature was the placing at the ¢ stations of the central star of a small table at the chalr of each point. Each chalr was draped In the color of the point, and on each table was a fairy lamp encased in fancy paper, also the color of the point. The small lights pro- duced a novel and pretty effect. The installing officer was the retiring worthy matron, Mrs. Annie Marie Johnson, who was assisted in the ceremonial by Mrs. Elizabeth Dorothea Wet- fen, past worthy matron, acting as marshal. The officers who, with the ex- ception of the conductress and chaplain, were inducted Into office, were all elegantly gowned and, as they sat in the semi-circle to the west of the altar, presented a very pretty picture. The officers elected for the current term are: Emma Carter, worthy matron; John Carpenter Kimball, worthy patron; Mrs. John Tonningsen, associate matron; Eva May Hare, secretary; Isadora Horton, treasurer; Henrietta Albertine McLagan, assoclate conduc- tress; Marion Louise Reld, Adah; Bertha Wagner Stack, Ruth; Llla May Kimball, Esther; Cella Warren, Martha; Virginia Lee Lewis, elect Annle Marie Johnson, marshal; Michael Joseph Savage, chaplain; Allce Severance, organ! May Carter, warder; Walter Rawlins, sentinel. The music for the ceremonles, solos and choruses was by the California Commandery Quartet—Messrs. Wendel, Smith, McBain and Batkin. It was excellent. The retiring matron won many words of praise for the faithful and careful manner in which she delivered the charges to the new officers, and impressed them with the importance of the duties they were assuming. After the ceremony Mrs. Alyce Gates rendered vocal selections. The retiring mat- ron, Mrs. Johnson, was, in an eloquent speech by the retiring patron, pre- sented with a dlamond-set jewel of her office on behalf of the chapter, and then Dr. A. H. Millberry, also on behalf of the chapter, presented a beautiful jewel to Micheal J. Savage, the retiring patron. This was followed by the pre- sentation of like jewels to Past Patrons Dr. Millberry and W. H. Wharfr. The congratulations, which followed, being at an end, all retired to the dancing hall, where there was a programme of dances until midnight. 0\“@Q0006000000000@0000000‘.‘00@000000@6 o ewo oowrenences NEW ROADS FOR THE YOSEMITE B Report of a Government Commission.

R AT Inquisitors Think Salaries of Assist- ants Should Be Paid Out of Per Cent Allowed on Collections. BT Assessor Dodge was a very angry man when he came out of the Grand Jury room last evening. after having been ask- ed some pertinent questions regarding the salarfes paid to clerks émployed In his office for the collection of poll taxes. He was asked whether he did not think that these salaries should be pald out of the 156 per cent auowed him on the collections instead of imposing the llability upon the city. While the statute does not exactly | provide that they should the Grand Jury holds that it favors that construction of the law. To all of the questions put to him Dodge replied that he was following the custom established in his office for years past and that his course was cor- rect. Dodge finally became exasperated at his inquisition and accused the Grand Jury | of+having brought up the matter to annoy him at the instance of an applicant for a position whom he had turned down. Jury disclaimed that it had acted at the behest of any person and ipsisted that it was simply pursuing its inquiries on the matter in the line of its duty. The in- quiry was postponed until next Tuesday nfllsrnoon. when a special meeting will be | held. Several reports of committees were handed in, but as there are more to be recefved the full report of the Grand Jury will probably not be reaav until next Thursday, when the last session will be held and the report issued for publica- tion.

The com- mission has suggested that a _feasible route exists from Hetch-Hetchy Valley to | Carter, the present terminus of the Blerra Railway. The commission has not inves- | tigated this route, though required to do | s0 by law. The Tenaiya Canyon route, which is a| shorter route from Lake Tenalya to the Yosemite Valley, will cost $82,764. | The only proposed new road upon which the commission gives accurate and defi- nite data is the Merced route.
