They are the sewers of the human system. But suppose they fail to do their duty. Suppose the sewers become clogged, and the 500 grains of poison instead of being carried off is forced back into the blood: carried into the veins and muscles until the whole system is sat- urated with it. Is it any wonder that there is trouble when the kidneys do not do their work? Any wonder that backs ache and heads swim? But there's a cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills Help the kidneys to do their duty.

Owners of Little Vessel Still Surveying at San Lorenzo. . B st am— The real purpose of the owners or managers of the “armed pirate sloop” that is occupying the attention of those interested in.the oyster beds adjacent to West San Lorenzo is not at present fully apparent. The alleged owner of the armed slopp 1s supposed to be a corporation called the Smith Oyster Company, the principal stockholders being L. W. Smith, | C.P. Overton and J. R. Daggett. The two last named are stockholders in the Pacific Oyster Comp: but this com- pany indignantly disclaims any connec- tion whatever with the present piratical proceedings. From the statement of L. P. Eaton, the | secretary of the Pacific Oyster Company, | it appears that this company was organ- ized early In 1900 and capitalized at $100 000. Its property adjoins the lands in con- tention and is valued at from $40,000 to $50,000. The officers are,C. P. Overtaon, president; S. U, Darbee, vice president, and L. P. Eaton, secretary. Il appears | that Overton and Daggetl own two-fitths | of the stock of the Paclfic Oyster Com- pany and have been buying out all the small stockholders, with the intention, if possible, of obtaining complete control of the plant. Failing in this, they deter- mined to start out and secure oyster lands for themselves. | The title in these tide lands was vested | in 1879 In ‘W. Robe H. B. Martin, Mrs. | M. Martin and H. and P. Mathiesen under | what is known as the “oyster act.” WILLING TO ACCEPT TITLE. When Overton and Daggett bought into oughly examined into the titles of the lands of that company, and to make as- surance doubly sure, suggested that the company procure quit claim deeds ot the property from the original files of 1579, This was done. A short time since, when | Overton and Daggett found they could | no et full swing of the Pacific Oyster | Uany, they announced that they were d.se_ifed with the management of the ~cac~rn and wanted to sell out to those | holdine the majority of the stock, stating as a reason that “your way is not ours.” Now com.s the scheme in which they are | stated to be the al ringleaders. In efiance of their belief that the title of | the Roberts-Martin contingent claims are good, they not only have filed on the 1500 | acres of the Roberts claim, but have also | jumped 160 acres of the Pacific Oyster u Company’s property in which they them- selves own two-fifths. The Smith faction to vindicate its ac- mises say that “the Rob- 1s not lived up to the con- er which it was | tions in the erts faction ditions of the act u granted 1Its lands having complied | with the act regarding {he encouragement of the cultivation of oysters.” vt alued his 1500 acres Roberts ¢ at $0,000, but quite recently offered to sell for $150. The Smith corporation ap- | parently thought -even this sum too | much and preferred taking the property, if it could, hy means -of surveys under new filings, which_are now being proses uted under the protection of what the San ' Lorenzoites c¢all the “armed pirate | loop.’ EXACT MOTIVE UNKNOWN.

A white standard with the red cross of St. George thereon floated over Red Men’s Hall on Post street yestcrday, be- cause the Grand Lodge of the Sons of St. George was in.sesslon there. The grand body, in which were repre- atives of the various subordinate on the Pacific Coast, was called to order at 10 o'clock in the morning by Worthy Grand President W. H. Fuller, and the first business after receiving the report of the committee on credentials was the conferring of the Grand Lodge degree on those delegates who had not already received the same, In this order the grand officers are not elected by the Grand Lodge delegates, as is the rule in other orders, but are voted for in the subordinate lodges and the re- sults sent to the grand body, where the returns are canvassed. The canvass showed that the following named were elected: J. H. Cocking of Nanaimo, B. C., grand president; W. G. Johnson of San Fran- cisco, vice vresident; Thomas Poyser of San Francisco, secretary: Willlam Meek of Los Angeles, messenger; T. W. Butch- er of San Francisco, treasurer: W. H, Noy of Alameda, trustee, The reports of the grand officers were presented and read. They show that the order !s /in a flourishing condition and that there has been during the last year a satisfactory gain in membership and in finance. The grand body will hold another ses- sion to-day and in the evening the new officers and the delegates will be the guests at a banquet tendered them by Burnaby and Pickwick lodges of this city. ——————— Breaking Bridge Kills Workmen. SALMON ARM, B. C., July 2L.—The bridge between the Canadian Pacific Rail- road and the Celumbia River Lumber Company’s mill at Carlin. gave way to- day while a gang of the Columbia River Company men were walking on it. C. Kown of Kualt and J. Russell of New- foundland were killed and two more were “HOME, SWEET HOME.” The Old Homestead. BY HENRY P. SMITH. Free Oil Painting With Next Sunday’s Call. There is nothing in the wide, wide world quite so appealing as home. Be it ever so humble there is no spot like the habitation of the individual man. Rich or poor, high or low, good or bad, prince or pauper, the in- clination is for home, and any picture that represents home ties or home features touches the warmest spot in the hearts of all men and women. Apropos of this, The San Francisco Call presents as its art supple- ment next Sunday an oil painting which is a perfect reproduction in color of the celebrated picture by Henry P. Smith entitled “The Old Home- stead.” It represents a New England farmhouse and possesses artistic qualities of the highest order. Its composition is well balanced, its color harmonious and there is a satisfying fidelity in the completeness with which the details are elaborated. There is an element of outdoors in the whole beautiful scheme. The farmhouse, with its antique, cozy character, its great elm tree in front, its rich greens surrounding and its air of shade, comfort and coziness are peculiarly attractive. Smith, the artist, is one of the most successful of New York pice ture-makers and he is one of the most cultivated men in the art world. Hitherto he has devoted himself largely to Venetian scenes—pictures of architectural wonders of the Old World. The present effort is an innova- tion; it passes from the grandeur of Granada and Seville to the homely comforts of a New England homestead. The change shows great versatil- ity in the artist and has in it an atmosphere that is peculiarly graceful and charming. N California readers will be especially interested in this attractive pic- ture of Eastern homeliness and natural luxury, conveying as it does a de- licious sense of coolness that seems to exude from the canvas. il R QG 1 7REE, of Course, With Next Sunday’s Call.
