A Wisconsin lady says.of coffee: From childhood I had been used to rinking coffee, and grew very fond When in course of time I began to ffer from stomach and bowel troubles with dccompanying headaches, pains in e chest and loss of appetite and flesh, 1 was slow to suspect that coffee was e cause. My sister, who had used and knew the virtues of Postum Food persuaded me to try it. I gave old kind of coffee with reluc- ing that I wouid never fina drink that I would relish Coffee the therefore most agreeably sur- discover that Postum when v made—thoroughly- boiled, was palatable. It proved to be a , delicious beverage, sooth- to the nerves and ithiiy invigorating. I also found it stritious, as the old kind of . coffee er was Postum began to help me from the very beginning, and I was thus ‘en- ouraged to continue its use, until, I m happy to say, it lJanded me safely in Wellville, where years and where 1 propose to remain. 1 fnd it a glorious and happy place to be in.

B TROLLEY SYSTEM Under Present Conditions, - Say Merchants, It Is AH ‘the City Can Expect AP N DENOUNCE CABLE LINES —_— Report of dey Opposes the 0ld Fashioned 'Arrg.nge. ments Still Béing Used —_— The members of che Merchants' Asso- elation who have considered the (énslt problem have declared themselves in fa- v of the conduit system on the Sutter- street lines. The vote, however, is not satistactory to the members of the asso- clation as it represents only a small por- tion of the body, the Merchants' Associa- tion Review declares. Some of the mem- bers who did not vote deciared that the proposition was to0 technmical for them and refused to go on record. Following s the vote as published in the Merchants’ Association Review to-day: Do you favor Mr. Parsons' view of uniform system of overhead trolley lines throughout the entire city, including a central list of orna- mental trofley poles with lights furnished by the rallroad company, between the tracks on Market street, and’ a trolley line with orna- mental poles and lights furnished by the rail- | 1oad upon Sutter street? Answers—Yes, 121; | no, 204, | "Do you favor an overhead trolley system | throughout_the city, except on Market street? | Answers—Yes, 67; no, 212. | “Do you favor the underground conduit syStem | for Market street and for the streets with | cable lines leading into Market street_in the | central downtown distriet and in the adjacent | downtown district, the remaindér of the system to be overhead trolley? Answers—Yes, 198; | no, 84. Irréspective of what shall be dome on any other strcets, which system do you favor for | Sutter street, (a) an underground conduit, or (b) an overhead trolley wire equipped with' or- namental lights and poles furnished free by the railroad company, or (¢) an improved cable system? Answers: First cholce—Conduit 217, trolley second choice—Condult 42, trolley third choice—Conduit 1, trolley Do you favor changing the cable lines on Nob Hill by tunneling the hill and constructing a winding driveway on California_street, as proposed by Mr. Parsons’ report? Answers—Yes, 158; no, 140. The following are the conclusions of the board of directors as published In the Merchants’ Association Review: We are convinced that it is for the best in- terest of San Francisco that the best system that can be had at the present ttme should be secured, and that it s the duty of the munici- pality to take all necessary steps to this end, without delay. Therefore, as the result of long deliberation, and after a_tharough study of Mr. Parsons’ report, and of all the condi- tions existing here, your board has unani- reached the following conclusions: rst—That all cable lines, except those on steep grades, be abolished as soon as possible. Their slot rails and underground construction should be completely removed from the streets, which should be left in the best possible order. Second—That as the overhead trolley appears to be the only possible sysfem that can now be secured for lines with existing franchises, that system should be adopted generally upon certain definite terms Third—That overhead trolley lines be in- jstalled as soon as possible on Market, Valen- l'cia, Castro to Twentieth, Haight, Allister, Sutter, Polk, Larkin, gomery avenue, Powell and Union streets, un- der the following conditions: (A)—That on Market street, to_Castro street, a central line of ornamental poles, with electric lights, of the same design as those used in Cologne, Germany, be placed between the tracks, the lamps on gaid poles to be kept lighted every night, all hight, by the railroad company, free of cost to the city: and that all feed wires be placed underground. (B)—That only acceptable ornamental side from the ferries poles be used on all other streets where eable lines are changed %o electric, and that all feed wires on these streets be piaced underground. - (C)—That the same kind of ornamental troi- ley poles be substituted for the present un- sightly trolley poles on all other electric lines now existing within the district bounded as follows: Devisadero, Seventeenth, Guerrero, Twenty-sixth, Folsom, Tenth Brannan and the | bay ehore. | (D)—That the company maintain, free of cost to the city, ornamental arc lights, lighted every night and all night, on all poles on the follow- | irg streets on which cable lines are changed to | trolley: Valencia street; Haves, from Market | to Filimore; MeAllister, Market to Filimore; | Sutter, Market to Polk: Polk, Post to Pacific | avenue; Larkin, Market to Post; Ninth, Market ; Montgomery avenue, Washington to Union; and Powell, Market to’ Sutter. (E)--That all cars on the new electric lin:s substituted for cables be provided with air- brakes, (F)—That the United Railroads shall, within twenty-four months, extend its electric lines | into the following outlying _districts, over routes to be determined by the Board of Super- visors, provided sald board is willing to grant the company the necessary franchises: First—Sunset District. Second—University Mound District. Third—South San. Francisco, to the drydock at_Hunters Point. Fourth—Golden Gate Valley District (be- | tween Van Ness avenue and the Presidio) and | along the water front, from Broadway to Mont gomery_avenue. (G)—That the horse car line on California | street, from Montgomery to the ferries, be either abolished or changed to an electric line. (H)—That the horse car lines from the fer- ries to Montgomery avenue be abolished, and an electric line substituted. ()—That if the property owners on Pacific avenue prefer a cable line to a trolley, ‘m- proved cars be furnished, and that such cars connect with the Washington-street line and g0 to the ferries via that route. In regard to the California-street Impfove- ment and the change of all hill cable lines to electric by tunnels through Nob Hill, we be- lieve this improvement entirely practicable, and probably at some future time the city may find it desirable to construct such tunnels. The { winding ‘driveway up California street would be a unique feature and would be a great im- provement at a small cost. The tunnel, how- ever, would be a costly matter and this im- provement can be postponed until the more needed changes in our streétrear system are seeured. 4 ¥ As far as Sutter street Is concerned, we be- licve that the improved service and the light- ing of that street free of cost to the city by an arc lamp on every pole will benefit the strect and the business housed there far more than the system of construction and orna- mental poles recommended by Mr. Parsons will disfigure it. . To recapitulate: . First—The city needs street provements immediately. Second—We are convinced that she cannot get them through the underground conduit sys- tem, no matter how desirable that system might b Fhird Srhe only thing that offers is the overhead trolley, and the city would better take that than éendure the cables. for perhaps another generation and suffer the irretrievable damage of arrested develonment at the most promising period of its history. s The United Rallroads bas announced that it is ready to Aisburse $8,000,000 in betterment, of its system as soon as a declsion can be, reached as to.how the money may be spent. San Francisco needs that money spent in the most effective way and spent while it will do some good. In recommending that the com-, pany be permitted to install the overhead trol- Jey syatem -generally. and in modern form, we feel that we are acting in accordance with the highest sclentific authority and for the best interests of San Francisco; and we feel that whatever may be the criticisms to which this iction may be subjected, time and the sober second thought .of the people- will prove that we were righ ———— THIRSTY OF NATIONAL CITY WANT SALOONS REOPENED ‘Will Give Battle to Prohibitionists at an Election to Be Held in April. 3 SAN DIEGO.

Burdick of Port Angeles spent last week in the Upper Elwha Valley in an effort to se- cure a photograph of a herd of elks in their native wilds. He succeeded in getting a picture of one of the biggest herds yet reported in the Olympic Mountains. Burdick states that he counted 209 of the animals as they crossed a small stream a few hundred yards from him. There were but two bulls in the entire herd. The animals were extremely tame and Burdick gives it as his opinion that it would take but a short time to ‘domesticate them, as they permitted him to walk around in sight of them all day. If the ien‘year law against killing elk is strictly en- forced Burdick thinks the Olympie Mountains will be full of elks in a few vears.
