Although the papers were not filed at the proper time specified by law;tand, that witnes ses on both sides of the fence were questioned on the subject, the re sult has fully demonstrated no ground for a criminal prosecution.

Aprii-4-l-m. Southern Pacific Literary Bu reau. A New York man recently took a peculiar hand in bringing about a revolution in the food supply of a big transcontinental railroad, and was partially responsible for se curing the use of American grown rice from San Francisco to New Otleans, not only on dining cars of the Southern Pacific Railroad, but at all of the station restaurants along the line. While traveling through the Louisiana and Texas rice belt he endeavored at namer ous hotels to be served with the food he had heard so much about, thinking it would be used as the prevailing food staple on its na tive heath. Much to his astonish ment his order could not be filled, nor was be mote suocessful on one of the dinning cars of the rail road. When be returned East be wrote Passenger Traffic Manager S. F. B. Morse of his experiences and that official at once made more strenuous his previous efforts to have Louisiana and Texas served on Southern Pacific dinning cars, and with esuch good result that he was informed, a day or two since by the commissary at San Fran cisco, that all dining car stewards and all station restaurants had been supplied with Southern Pa cific rice cook books and instrue ted to use the 200 recipes for pre paring rice to the best advantage. When the critical New Yorker next visits the rice belt he will be able to obtain rioe in all forms, from the bride-and-groom kind to the padding variety. LOUIS C. DUCHAMP, . . . . DEALBR IN . . . .
