THE SAN FRANCISCO OCALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902 BaK§ TIDINESS IN CREAMERIES Professor McKay Tells of Clean and Un- clean Dairies. B e S Shows Dearth of Competent Men in Butter-Mak- ing Industry. The annual convention of the California | | Creamery Operators’ Association began yosterday at the rooms of the San Fran- cisco Exchange, 40 California street, Henry ¥. Lyon, presidert, in the chair. In his annual address President Lyon pointed out that as promised they had been able to hold four quarterly contests. The first was held in this city April last at which they had 22 contestants and at wkich they distributed $125 in prizes. In June there were 32 contestants and $1%5 cistributed in prizes. There were 52 en- iries at the third contest, at which they distributed $40 in prizes, and the fourth | contest is to be held the rooms of the asscciation s o'clock this morning. President Lyon felt that the generous as- isiance toward the prizes received from commission men of the city had not been fully appreciated. nor were the benefits to be de from entering the contests given deration. on realized that the com- ‘missi bants in their contributions to assist we: me (the by a desire to increase they could raise the standard or grade of goods they had for sale.

Dona- tcns toward prizes to the amount of $560 };ad been received from dairy commission | houses and other public-spirited persons. | UNCLEANLY DAIRIES. Professor G. L. McKay, professor of Cairy husbandry at the lowa Agricultural College, cussing “Buttermaking as a Profession.” said that he had found it more & Jt to get men to fill the best Jromitic than it was to get men for ordi- rary positions. Let an important position open in any branch of business and it was difficall, be said, to find a competent man to £l it Since all men were not adapted o be physicians or lawyers he thought it well for ng men to find the line of ‘!k_.' r which they are best adapted, nd then use all their energies to make a sucoese. The creamery business to-day, be declared, opened up a large field for elligent young men; men who were to work with their hands as well ¥e w I as with their heads. He reminded his au- cience that the dairy business was prac- tically in its infancy and they knew very le about milk or its production. Some creameries. he said, were a pleasure to visit owing to the admirable marner in which they were conducted. Such cream- eries were a great contrast to those creameries where they found everything dilapidated Condition with utterly v buttermakers at the head of them. 2 stale of affairs, he said, caused laint on the part of patrons, who ed that creamery men were among rascals in existence. ithe greatest This, declared Professor McKay, was what prevented e creamery business from progressi: Jealousy, too, he said, farmers bad destroved more creameries than all other things com- For his part he believed there few dishonest men in the creamery business.

Greenway, who is wanted in Red- wood Cily on a charge of burglary for Brezking into a hardware store along with & companion and stealing a quantity of shotguns, razors, knives and other ar- ticles, was arrested in a room at 213 Third street yesierday morning by Detectives Ryan and O’'Dea and Policemen Tyrrell snd Hemenez and locked up in the City Prison pending the arrival of an officer from Redwood City. His companion, Themes Flynn, was arrested at Redwood City. Greenway is also wanted here for ! breaking into Murray's Machine Works, 506 Howard street, about two months ago. E“ Anm’nsnmrs ANOTHER GERM DESTROYER. Herpicide Is Death to Dandruff Germs. The germ burrows into the scalp, throwing up the cuticle in thin scales, called dandruff, or scurf, and digging at the root of the hair where it saps the tair's wvitality. First comes brittle hair, on Justerless and dead-like hair, then ‘l iling hair, and, finally baldness. Nine- tenths of the hair troubles are caused by dandruff, Without dandruff, hair will grow juxuriantly, as nature intended. “Herpicide” kills the dandruff germ, leay- ing the hair to grow unbampered, as it does with the American red man.

The boats were gone and the salls appeared to have been unbent. No signals were set and no flag was in sight. 1 and gives his position at the time at 3441 south, 6456 west. The light was not very good zt the time and Captain Craigie is not very sure of the color of the vessel's hull. He saw no signs ef life aboard. The news brought by the Afghanistan | in marine | will cause no little anxiety circles, as his description of the wreck fits a number of large vessels that might have been in the locality of the stranded | bark. The Paul Rickmers, which is quot- ed at 75 per cent on the reinsurance list, is now out 207 days from Bangkok for Ger- many and might possibly have taken a course which would land her on the shores of Tierra del Fuego. The bark C lumbia, also on the overdue list, is a four- masted vessel and Is out 201 days from Philadelphia for Hiogo. She is reinsured at 10 per cent. There is also a possibility that the un- { fortunate vessel is the big British four- masted bark Crompton, September 14 with a big cargo of general merchandise, which included a big ship- ment of salmqn and stands on record as one of the most valuable cargoes ever taken away from here by a sailing ves- sel. The wires will be kept' hot to-day nd Captain Craigie will have his hands full answering queries as to technical peints he discerned in the wreck. Mean- hile there are a number of anxious owners and the anxiety of the underwrit- ers will be seen within the next few days lands in the reinsurance rates. sl o] Training Ship Was on Fire.

Seta, the Japan- ese steward, died June 20 of heart disease, and on August 14 Victor Kotral, an able seaman, tve Germany, was washed overboard nd drowned. The Hyde left Baltimore for an Francisco May 18. Her cargo of coal became heated, and as the temperature in- creased in spite of all precautions, her course was changed and on July 29 Captain McLeod headed his ship for Cape Town. She arrived there August 17 and discharged 1400 tons of the coal. The voyage was resumed October 5 |and on Christmas day the Henry | C B. Hyde reached here 221 days from Baltimore.

While in Honolulu the Nevadan got ashore. She was pulled off by the tug Fear- | less: The purpose in drydocking her is to in- vestigate the extent of damage done by the reef and to make such repairs as may be necessary. ——— The Mystery Cleared.

Secretary Scott of the Chamber of Com- merce received a communication yester- day from William M. Bunker, the or- ganization’s representative at the na- tional capital, setting forth the plans of the Treasury Department in respect to the erection of the new $1,000,000 custom- house in this city. The scheme of the Governmen officials is, so far as possible, to combine speed with economy in the construction of the edifice and to avold deigy and in convenience in the transac- tion of Federal business meanwhile. James K. Taylor, supervising architect of the Treasury Department, informed Mr. Bunker that the invitation for plans would be issued in January or February of the coming year, and that the award would not be made before May or June. Five architeets from San Franeisco and five from the rest of the country will be allowed to compete. Actual building op- erations are not expected to commence before the spring of 1904. By that time the new postoffice, at the corner of Sev- enth and Mission streets, will have been completed and the old office force will have moved there. It is proposed also, Bunker says, lo move temporarily to the same bullding the Federal courtsand such custom-house ! bureaus as are not indispensable to the pressing needs of the wholesale district. The more active and strictly commercial departments of the Government business will be transferred to the Appraiser’s building. Architect Taylor stated that it had been the aim of the Treasury Department of- ficials to have the work progress rapidly to completion as sogn as a start could| be made. The construction of the edifice might have been begun earlier than planned, but delays would have surely en- sued. The time that must necessarily elapse between the beginning and the completion of the custom-house has not been officially estimated as yet. Benefit for Building Fund. The closing concert of the Royal Ttalian Band will take place on Monday even- ing, January 5, and will bg a grand bene- fit for the building fund of the Young | Men’s Christian Assoclation under the auspices of the Mothers’ Tribute Fund committee, Mrs. John F. Merrill chair- man. Already some of the private boxes have been secured. No liquors will be allowed in the building on that night and it will be a grand rally of all the city churches. This will be the last opportu- nity to hear the band this season in San Francisco and the evening promises to be a brilliant society affair. — ‘mnm ENGINEERS DO NOT INTEND TO STRIKE President John Seary Emphatically Denies Transportation Lines Are to Be Tied Up. According to a statement issued by John Seary, president of Local No. 35 of the Marine Engineers’ Assoclation, there is to be no strike among the marine én- gineers. The statement was made in re- ply- to a repoyt from Portland to the ef- fect that every steamer along the Pacific Coast wag to be tled up. The report was alleged to have come from W. H. Mar- shall, business agent of the union in Port- land. . President Seary emphatically denied the report and declared that the members of the assoclation in this city are on good terms with the transportation companies and have no intention of joining the un- ions of Portland, Seattle or any other city in a strike. ———————— The Old Camper Has for forty-five years had one article in his supply—Borden's Eagle Brand Con- densed Milk.
