MOTHERS' DAY, NINTH OF MAY HONOR MEMORY OF PRECIOUS ONE WHO IS GONE Mothers' Day Buttons on Sale, Proceeds Go to Purchasing Additional Playgrounds at the Public School Sunday, May 9th, is Mothers' Day, and in commemoration thereof Mothers' Day buttons are being sold at a nickel each, the proceeds going to the purchase of additional playground at the public school. The object is to buy the block of land east of the Central grammar school. From a leaflet descriptive of Mothers' Day we take the following: It seems like a happy idea to take one day of the year for a service that everyone will unite in to honor the memory of the one who in most of our hearts comes next to the blessed Christ Himself. To recall the memories of the mothers that are gone and through loving words and loving care to brighten the lives of, the mothers that remain,and to help the children and men and women to a greater blessing in honoring their father and their mother. To call back mother's prayers, mother's dying words, and the promises made to mother by the big boy that still mourns her, and to stop to think a little of what she was in her life to her family. Others who are blessed with their good mother still near them, may show their appreciation by some deed of gratitude and love. If away from home, write her a love letter, send a telegram, use the long-distance telephone or special delivery of the PLEASE PASS THE RAISIN Tomorrow the Day When I Should Call for Them The interest of the entire States is now centered uponnia Raisin Day, tomorrow.As a result of the deterministic campaign being on by the raisin growers of den State to convince the this country that raisins are only an article of dessert to on rare and state occasions Thanksgiving and Christmas every day staple article of From all indications they will succeed in their endeavor bring the heretofore unrecognized sin into its own as a cheap food for all the people, as nutritious and nourishing fruit The headquarters of the Ora Raisin Day committee at Frees presents a scene of the greatest city.

Every man, woman and child in the town, or the region around about it. Have a special home service, and bring in everybody in the neighborhood to sing the old songs and to recall the reminiscences that connect with mother, and, if she be with you, make her feel she is "Queen of the May" in the hearts of her children. Churches of all creeds, Sunday schools, Y.M.C.A.'s, lodges, societies, public schools (on week-day) and all other organizations, business concerns and individuals, are asked to observe the day through the wearing and distribution of the white flower of Mother's Day. Religious organizations are asked to have special services. Newspapers and magazines are asked to promote the day through wide publicity of its merits. A white flower (emblematic of purity) to be worn personally on mother's day. Everyone is also asked to promote the day by giving a white flower to someone else to wear. The white carnation is "Mother's Day flower." Its whiteness stands for purity; its form, beauty; its fragrance, love; its wide field of growth, charity; its lasting qualities, faithfulness—all a true Mother's virtues. It seems possible that if we all give our hearts to this loving service, it will become one of the most beautiful days of our lives. The preacher will preach of the Father that pitieth His children and of the mother who comforteth her child.

The increasing cost of all n ties has naturally led the companies to desire to prolong life of the species of wood us preservative methods, and on cently an application was made the United States forest service conduct experiments at their ley timber testing station to determine the value and life of the ese oak timber when properly ed. This application brought up teresting point as to whether the forest service would be able to undertake experiments with eign species of timber, inasmu give our hearts to this loving service, it will become one of the most beautiful days of our lives.

If possible, send in mother's name a white carnation to every person in a sick-room, hospital, almshouse, prison or orphanage, and kindle a flame of new life in the name of mother on Mother's Day, the second Sunday in May.

MOTHERS' DAY Sacramento, April 24.—Gov. issued a proclamation today apart Sunday, May 9, to be obeyed as "Mothers' Day."

MINES OF NEW MEXICO Tres Hermanas District Reported Upon by Geological Survey A small group of mountains known as Tres Hermanas rises from the general level of the high plateau about 25 miles south of Deming, N. Mexico, and 10 miles north of the Mexican boundary line, the highest of the peaks attaining an elevation of more than 7000 feet above sea level. Lead was discovered in this group at an early date, and for many years mines in the northern part of it have yielded a moderate production, possibly to a total value of $200,000. In 1904 attention was attracted to a heavy white massive or crystalline material occurring plentifully in old lead workings, and this material was found to consist of carbonates and silicates of zinc. The zinc ores include large quantities of the unusual mineral willemite (the pure anhydrous silicate of zinc), smithsonite (zinc carbonate), hydrozincite (basic zinc carbonate), and calamine (hydrous zinc silicate). Shipments of the zinc ore were made to smelters in the Mississippi valley in 1905, but in 1906 and 1907 little activity was apparent. A geologic examination of the north end of the Tres Hermanas district was made during the field season of 1908 by Waldemar Lindgren of the United States Geological Survey; who has prepared the brief report published by the Survey in an advance chapter from Bulletin 380. "Contributions to Economic Geology, 1908." This chapter, (380-C) is ready for distribution and may be obtained by applying to the Director of the Survey at Washington, D.C. The chapter contains also a list of the more important reports on lead and zinc published by the Survey. JAPS WOULD CROWD US JAPS WOULD CROWD US Dr. Wheeler on the Benefits of Exclusion Act New York, April 24. — Japanese crowding on the Pacific Coast is not an industrial problem to California. Neither is it a race prejudice, as it never reached the stage of being a race problem. The menace is, or was, in the ultimate exclusion of the white race from California and contiguous states by the automatic pressure of the Japanese in their cities and upon their lands. This is a brief outline of the opinion of Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the University of California. In a talk at the Waldorf, where he stopped for a few days this week, Dr. Wheeler was none the less earnest in presenting the natural difficulties of the Japanese situation even as it is, and in telling what might have been if the tide of immigration had not been checked. "Where shall we draw the line between Occident and Orient?" Dr. Wheeler inquired. "In California we say the line shall be drawn somewhere out in the Pacific ocean, not on the land. There is the Pacific ocean, a strip like the hem of a handkerchief, on United States territory, stitched through 1200 miles of desert. There is Japan across the Pacific ocean with a surplus population increasing at the rate of 700,000 every year, no living room for them on Japanese soil. Free to choose their place of refuge, since the area of their own country cannot accommodate them, they would choose California and western coast states of this country, because of their natural advantages, their inducements of employment and accessibility. "We have 1,800,000 whites in California, and while it is a big state, it would be only a matter of time, not a long time, with the Japanese coming..."

The forest service has necessary, owing to pressure k, to decline to undertakement, and therefore this not considered. It is esti-there is a large supply of timber in Japan and should railroad ties prove satisfactory probable that a large be created for it in this THERS' DAY o, April 24.—Gov. Gillett proclamation today setting May 9, to be observed "Day." These are his desire to call the atten-citizenship of our great fact that while I have in law to issue a pro-ting apart a day for this request that the second May be observed in all of the state as Moth-room for them on Japanese soil. Free to choose their place of refuge, since the area of their own country cannot accommodate them, they would choose California and western coast states of this country, because of their natural advantages, their inducements of employment and accessibility. "We have 1,800,000 whites in Cali-fornia, and while it is a big state, it would be only a matter of time, not a long time, with the Japanese coming as they have been coming for three years past, when they would overwhelm the white population in num-bers. It would only be a matter of time too, when the white population would have to move back. "It is not a race matter as ordinarily understood, you see. It is a problem in simple arithmetic of a given number of acres and years and a given rate of increase of population a year of one kind of people to determine the result, NEW STEAMSHIP LINE The Alaska-Pacific Steamship Co's new vessel, the "Admiral Sampson" left San Pedro on Thursday last on the return trip to Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco.
