City Trustees The city trustees met on Thursday evening and transacted a volume of interesting business. The street superintendent reported the construction of a number of oil and gravel crosswalks on Broadway and Center streets.

World's Industrial Notes From last consular reports received by the California State Agricultural society from the world at large, and from reports of different agricultural colleges and experiment stations, we glean the following notes of general interest: Consul-General Guenther of Frankfort reports a poor grape crop in the Rhine country. A new and dangerous disease has appeared. If not checked before the harvest days the loss will be very great. Valuable Liberian timber is available for the American markets, reports Consul-General Lyon of Monrovia. The woods comprise red and white mahogany, rrd and white whistmore, red and white oak, cedar, cherry, corkwood, brimstone and mulberry. Mr. Lyon gives the name of a business man [which is on file at Bureau of Manufactures] who desires to ship this timber direct to the United States. C. G. Hopkins shows that as an average of 42 different tests by the Ohio station, extending over a period of seven years, "the average value of farm manure was found to be $1.99 per ton, measured in increased crop yields produced, but when 40 pounds of finely ground rock phosphate were added to the ton of manure, its average value was found to be $3.23 per ton, making an increased value, due to the addition of the phosphorus, of $1.24 per ton of manure." The 40 pounds of rock phosphate used cost about 16 cents. According to Consul-General George E. Anderson, at Rio de Janeiro the pounds Holland 26,274,204 Germany 26,409,809 pounds sent year's crop is about pounds lighter than that according to the number ports issued by the Italian gov't for the year ending April 30 emigration from that country United States was 316,797,714 tina 86,158, to Brazil 30,058 other American countries total for the year of 444,724 Acting Postmaster-General cock has signed a parcel-presentation with Denmark, to take 1.

The 40 pounds of rock phosphate used cost about 16 cents. According to Consul-General George E. Anderson, at Rio de Janeiro, the linen industry of the world may possibly be revolutionized by the discovery and development of a linen plant indigenous to Brazil and some of the great fertile plains of South America. The new plant is known as "Canhamo braziliensis perini" or "Brazilian linen." It is named for its discoverer, Dr. Victorio Antonio de Perini, and its practical development is now being effected upon several experimental plantations, the most notable of which is at Boa Vista, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The development was commenced with the assistance of the State government and has continued to a point where it may be stated without question that the fiber is a success and that its influence will be felt at once in the fabric world. The product of the plantations now established has been contracted for by British interests at a very profitable rate. One of the plantations established includes an area of 500,000 square meters of the growing plants at Rodeiro, and the one at Boa Vista will soon have over 2,000,000 square meters.
