In discussing tlie tariff bill Needham
"It should be remembered at all times

"Of course, in the. case of the Philip-,

/-•"ln the case of California, not only is
iso concession agreed to for- a lowering
('fit tlie tariff on any article produced in
the state, but in many instances an in
crease of the present tariff is demanded.
'. "In the case of lemons, for instance, a
much higher tariff than the one in the
Dlngley bill is demanded by the grow
.ors. Aa increase of one cent a pound in
the duty on nuts is asked for and an
.increased duty is also asked on figs and
"asphaltuin.
.' "When the question of the duty on

"I am sure that California will be
well protected in the new bill, but the

that California must contribute to a

COSTA RICA FLOOD
CAUSES STARVATION
Men and Children Drowned,
Bridges Destroyed and Com
munication Interrupted
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
MOBILE, Ala.,; Jan. 10. — News has
been received here from Puerto Limon,
Costa Rica, that the floods in that coun
try Christmas week have ruined tile
banana industry and caused a loss of
{1,000,000 worth of property. Two men
and three children were drowned, and
trains were held up, 11 railroad bridges
being washed away. Communication
was cut off from the interior and will
remain cut off for three months, and
the people are starving.
The storm broke Friday night about
10 o'clock, the wind tearing the zinc
roofing from the houses, and by day
light the streets were converted into
torrents strewn with trees and timber.
Telegrraph and telephone wires were
put out of commission, and in a short
time Puerto Limon was cut off from
communication with the outside world.
The entire district of Banana river
was ruined, miles of track and hun
dreds of xnanzanas of bananas washed
away. In fact, the track beyond West
phalia . commissary .was a thing of the
past,- as well as the banana cultivation
in that district and Santa Rosa.'
According to ' the present reports no
communication with the interior .is
likely to be established In less than
three months, provided the weather
changes. The present indications are
that the time will be doubled.
The inhabitants of Puerto Limon are
facing starvation' as far as fresh vege
tables, grain and poultry are concerned,
as all these were supplied by the San
Jose markets. The banana industry Is
completely ruined, as the largest sup
ply came from the stations beyond

MILLION CORDS OF WOOD 1
Forest Service Publishes Annual
Report Giving Interesting Data
Jan.; :16.— During the
last fiscal', year ending June 30 the
United. States forest -service issued to
settlers in: the neighborhood of national
forests In western states over 30,000
"free.. use" permits, under which the
settlers 'received free about •: 264,000
cordsof firewood, posts, poles and saw
logs, worth : $169,320, or about 64 cents
a cord in, the forest — a low valuation.
Besides .this, the different states re
ceived for school and road purposes
25* per -cent of the income of the na
tional forests,' amounting last year to
5447,064.: The direct return to the states
in JJeu of taxes on the 147.000,000 acres,
the estimated area of unpatented land
in the national forests, amounted then
In the last year to $616,384 in . cash and
''free use" -timber. , - ' .
In. 1907>' the total "free use" material
and money paid over, amounted to about
$253,400. The increase of the amount
Riven >to, the -states "from 10 per' cent
to 25 per cent. ' of V course, is ' largely re
sponsible for the large return In 190$,
but qven.had this percentage not been

GAS STOCK TAKES
PLUNGE DOWNWARD
Speculative Operators Have Ob
ject Lesson Administered to
Them in Court Decision
NEW YORK. Jan. 10. — Speculative
operators in "the stock market had ad
ministered to them last week an object
lesson of too confident assumption of
events not yet definitely decided and
the lesson resulted in some revision of
opinion of prospects and in some mis
givings over the extent to which buy
ing of stock -had . carried r prices. The
sharp readjustment to lower prices was
the .'consequence, ".the action being so
abrupt- ai?d so headlong as to leave
room -for some upward reaction before
the weelc had closed, followed, however,
by; another, relapse. The. center of the
disturbance was in Consolidated gas.
In . which. -there had been, so* excessive
a-speculation- on assurance that the 80
cent legal restriction of • the price of
gas would be declared 'Invalid that a
heavy .realizing, movement might have
been' expected to follow a. favorable
outcome of litigation contesting the
law. Instead of that the supreme court
gave Its sanction to the law on Mon
day \u0084 and -. the company found itself
obliged to, reduce its charge for gas
from $1 to 80 cents per thousand feet
and* to refund some 99,000,000 of over
charge since th* law was enacted. The
sharps X of the company, which sold on
Monday at lSa^i, plunged to a low
quotation of 123 and then rallied. The
whole market was upset by the-sym
pathetic effect of this break and by the
liquidation -of other stocks through
holdings of the gas stock from sacri
fice." .Other important pending cases
for which a favorable outcome have
been similarly • predicted have been
motives for extensive speculation. The
suit to test the commodities clause of
the Hepburn law is a notable example.
Disappointment of speculative as
sumption was read also in the election
of W. C. Brown to the, presidency of
the New York Central and in the non
appearance of • E. H. Harriman-in the
directorate of that company.

MISSIONARY'S WIFE
PRAISES CUTICURA
Daughter's Head Encrusted with
Dandruff— Feared she Would Lose
her Hair— Many Treatments were
Futile— Baby had Milk-Crust.
BOTH CHILDREN CURED
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES
"For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest, and we
were living on? the edge of the desert at
an elevation of nearly five thousand
feet. Every one in that high and dry
atmosphere has more or less trouble
•with dandruff and my daughter's scalp
became so encrusted with it that I wa3
alarmed for fear she would lose all her
hair, which was very heavy. After
spending between five and six dollars
for various remedies, in desperation I
bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a
box of Cuticura Ointment. After rub
bing the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
into the roots of the hair. I gently
combed the crust of dandruff free from
the scalp, and then gave her head a
thorough shampoo with tho Cuticura
Soap. This left the scalp beautifully
clean and free from dandruff, and after
the hair was dry, I again rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment, this time sparingly,
into the roots, and I am happy to say
that the Cuticura • Remedies -were a
complete * success. My troubles' with
dandruff were over, although for a long
time afterward I used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first, after shampooing,
•which kept the scalp and roots of tho
hair moist. I have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
'milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.
You are at liberty to publish this letter,
for I do sincerely believe that the Cuti
cura Remedies are a blessing to man
kind. Mrs. J. A. Darling, 310 Fifth
St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1908."
Cuticura Ointment is one of the most
successful curatives for torturing, dis
figuring humors of the skin and scalp,
including loss of hair, ever compounded,
in proof of which a single anointing
with it» preceded by a hot bath -with
Cuticura. Soap, and followed, when
necessary, by a mild dose- of Cnticura
Resolvent (liquid or pills) is often
sufficient to afford immediate relief of
itching, burning and scaly humors,
eczemas, irritations and inflammations,
'permit rest and sleep, and point to a
speedy cure when all else tails.
