in order to permit them to .hip (took

fects of the San Francisco disaster on
Iji Crando is an increased demand for
tho product of the local sugar factory.
During tha past week the factory ha
sent out seventeen carloads of sugar to
points that have heretofore depended
largely on Ban Francisco for their sup
ply. While the factory has boon supply

Thoueh the expedition nominally U

lieved it will be financed and officered
by the general ataff, and it composi

be accompanied by any representative
of the eeoeraphieal society.
The region to be explored covers toe

EBUiatlaxm in Ulvlng.
flan Francisco. April 30. Dr. Devine,
of the National Bed Croea, tonight la
sued the following statement:
"It is important for tbe entire coun
try to understand that the loss of home
and property in San Francisco haa not
been exaggerated. - Expectations have
been aroused and plan bave been made,
based on telegrams and newspaper re
ports, of large contribution for relief,
and theae expectation ihould not be
disappointed.
"Tbe distribution or rood win nave
to be continued until there are enough
stores in which to buy on a money basis
and then it can be gradually diminished,
but relief of other kinds ia now and
will be required for weeks to come.
Sick and delicate persons will need
care for month. Inmates of institu
tions which have been destroyed must
be established elsewhere, and on some
plan yet to be devised families which
cannot get started otherwise may have
to be given a helping hand.
"It i not intended to encourage
chronic dependence, but tuick, gener
ous and efficient relief is needed here
for a very larire number of person
whose home and meana of livelihood
have been deatroyed.

tempt to shoot, but Draper anticipated
him, shooting him through tbe neck
and killing him instantly.
Smith bore no wounds, showing con
clusively that be had not been wound

who were dynamiting tbe wood to drive
tho fugitive out, Frank Smith, the de
perado who made a sensational escape

"Well. I must take to the woods,"
