Names Men to Select Site. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Aug. 22. California is about to become the depot for seed and plant distribution for the being carried on by the many agricul- tural stations in the States the Depart- | ment of Agriculture at Washington has planned to concentrate it in California, and a large sum of money will be spent in the purchase of land for the cultiva- their housing. p The determination of the Department of Agriculture to provide for this. enter- prise became known to-day through the | fessor Arnold V. Stubenrauch of the ag- ricultural department of the University of to select a site for the proposed station. The appointment was made by Dr. A. J. Pieters, head of thie division of plant in- troduction And seed distribution of the Department of Agriculture, with whom Professor Stubenrauch recently toured the State. P. H. Dorset of Los Angeles, the other member of the committee, was also appointed to-day. This committee is called upon to select a site of 100 acres in some fertile and well irrigated spot in California. There a force of men will grow plants and seeds under the direction of the agricultural experts. The seeds will be grown for sclentific pur- poses and distribution and It must be un- derstood that this work is quite distinct from that of the annual Congressional distribution of seeds. As soon as the sta- | tion is built the work of distribution from the various agricultural stations about the country will be discontinued and seeds | will then be shipped to every part of the world from that point. A struggle has already begun between Southern and Central California to secure the station. The Chamber of Commerce of Pasadena and Santa Barbara have set complish something. Central California has done nothing thus far, but it is likely | 1o be heard from before the final decision is made. Professor Stubenrauch natur- because of pride in it, but because of its fertility, commercial advantages and proximity to the University of California. Mr. Dorset inclines to Southern Califor- | nia and will probably vote to build the de- pot there, so that there is likely to be a | deadlock in the committee. A third mem- | ber will be required to settle the ques- tion. i —_————————— | LETTER CARRIERS LEAVE TO ATTEND CONVENTION | Delegates Will Discuss Matters Im- portant to Their Craft at Syracuse, N.

None of the parlors heard frém will have bands in San Franclsco's night par- | ade because of fnability to make satis- factory terms with the musicians, but | California, Rincon, Alcalde, Olympus, of that fact it was recommended that the general committee engage two bands for escort duty in this city during the paralle from Native Sons’ Hall to the Fourth and Townsend street depot on the night of September 8 The recommendation was adopted. The grand marshal reported that there i{s to be a liberal display of fireworks during the night parade. The matter of taking bands to San Jose for the parade there was deferred until it can be ascertained what music the cele- bration city will furnish. It was announced that Yosemite, Gene- vieve and Orinda parlors of the Native Daughters will take part in the San Jose parade and that the lagt named will be the special guests of Rincon Parlor of the Sons. A report from San Jose was that the parlors of the counties south of the cele- bration city will take part in the parade and that they will come up from their re- spective localities with bands playing asd banners flylng. Owing to business engagements that will prevent him from attending to the duties of treasurer of the general commit- tee, Charles H.

The members of the Methodist churches are very much wrought up over the way that the Rev. John D. Hammond, former manager of the | Book Concern and head of the Methodist | Chinese Mission at 916 Washington street, is alleged to have mismanaged the affairs over which he had charge. Seven of the leading clergymen of the city are investigating the affair, and they are sald to be ready to bring chdrges against Hammond and have him removed from the position of manager of the mission. Hammond was removed from the Book Concern three years ago. - Then it was rumored that his books were tangled and that he did not account for certain sums of money. Since then the matter has been discussed by the lead- | the seven clergymen who are investigat- ing the matter may soon take some defl- nite action. i i I e The Science of Life.
