The San Francisco Chronicle prints a
lone article exposing the methods By
which the Chinese may evade the excluV
eion law through a system ot false cer
tificates of registration. It states the
Chinese are systematically stuffing the
registration books opened under the Mc
Creary act. The law provides no pen
alty for the punishment of those who
register twice, ana on account oi
and names many are able bv going to'
different places of registration to secure
from two to a dozen certificates of regis
tration. These, it is claimed, will soon
have a marketable value of from (60 to
$100, and will find a ready sale among
the Mongolians smuggled into the coon
try. The Chronicle declare the Chinese
have no trouble at all in securing many
bogus certificates.
Oregon's mammoth cave will soon be
explored and rendered accessible to the
public. A company has been incorpor
ated at San Francisco for the purpose of
developing what bids fair to be one of
the greatest natural attraction on the
Pacific Coast. For year rumors have
reached civilization that way baak in the
monntains of Josephine county. Or., in
the wildest part of the Cascade Range
was a cave in which one might wander
for month without finding an end.
These reports came from hunters and
trappers, who occasionally visited that
wild region in search of game, and but
little credence was given them. Nothing
of any certainty was known concerning
the cave until four year ago, when W.
K. Hearst of the San Francisco Exam
iner sent a reporter, Charles Michelson,
and a photographer to- explore it
depths. The cave is about seventy-five
mile from Grant's Pass, and in order to
reach it they were compelled to go by
stage about fiftv - mile and the
remainder of the distance with a pack
train. From reports given the public

MIDWINTER FAIR.
The Sure Success of the Expo-
Hit Ion Established.
WHOLLY UMQ0JC AND NOVEL.
Exclamations of Surprise and Sat
isfaction Heard on Every
Hand The Vine Arts.
Nearly 200,000 people have paused tha
turnstiles of the California Midwinter
Exposition during the first two week
of its existence. This fact establishes
the sure mores of the Exposition from
the standpoint of attendance, and the
verdict of the thousands who make up
this grand total ha been nnanim ai in
favor of the success of tha Exposition
from evfery point of view.
Since the opening duy, Jan. 27. no
Special effort has been made to draw the
crowd. It has been the aim of the Ex
position management to let the many
feature of the Exposition speak for
themselves, and exclamation of sur
prise and satisfaction have been heard
on every hand. J The exhibits are now
practically all lb position. There are no
holes In the floor, so to speak, and it ia
noticeable by .those who visited the
great Columbian Exposition that even
the exhibits which were seen there ap
pear to have taken on new form here ia
Ban Francisco, and the exhibitors have
Undoubtedly profited by the experience
gained on the shore of Lake Michigan.
The largest spaces in the center of the
great floor of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building are occupied by
France, Germany, Russia and Italy.
Each of these countries is represented
by a display of artistic and useful man
ufactures which bus never before been
seen outside of the great Columbian Ex
position, and in most instances the dis
plays brought . from there have been
augmented by new supplies brought
across the Atlaptio and across the conti
nent especially for this display.
But in the midst of all this that is
not new to everybody, there is so much
in the Midwinter Exposition that is uul
versally unique and novel that there is
nothing; of the old story" ahont it.
The American section is particularly
prolific in novelty, and it occupies the
largest space assigned to any one coon-
try, so that th international character
of the Exposition by no means shuts out
the glorification of home industries in
this beautiful industrial fair.
The ralace of Fine Arts has already
proved to be a revelation. Such a dis
play of pictures has never before been
seen in this par( of the world. This de
partment did not depend on Chicago for
its pictures, though it got a great many
of the best that Were shown there. On
the walls of this1 building are hung later
pictures ' by well-known American,
French and German artists, and promi
nent among them are something like a
hundred of the works of the best artists
of the Pucino Coast. Connoisseurs ax
that the Midwinter Art Palace is t
best arranged picture gallery that the
world has ever seen, and it certainly is
well adapted for the purpose to whicb.lt
put,
Iu the eyes of Eastern visitors tbe cit
rus display naturally a' racts the most
attention'. It seems to be good for East
ern eyes to encounter a pear as big as a
baby head and peuchea almost as large,
to say nothing of so many oranges in
heaps and piles and buildings that there
is a great gleam of yellow before them
all the while. The rivalry between the
Northern and the Southern Citrus airs,
both of which are held in the Exposi
tion grounds, has been happily produc
tive of the best displays in this line that
save ever been "made, even in Califor
nia. The Northern Citrus Fair awarded
its premiums during the past week.
The Southern .Citrus Fair does not open
antil Feb. 20. The buildings devoted to
this class, of displays are proving quite
as popular as some of the main Exposi
tion buildings,, and California citrus
fruits ar getting the best advertise
ment the? have ever had.
One feature of the Exposition which
ha emphasized itself since the opening
day is the excellence of the electric illu
minations. The system of arc lighting
is as complete as anyone could wish, and
tha incandescent system is well calcu
lated to arouse the enthusiasm of the
most latent souL In these beautiful
midwinter evenings, whether the moon
shine or not,, the entire Exposition
gronnd,reas iyht as day. Long lines
of incandescent lights stretch the entire
length of eacsttSf the main bui dsi and
outline alrttyeir architectural points.
The dome of the Administration build
ing ia outlined against the deep
blue sky, the atraight lines of tha
Mechanic Art building are clear
eat ; against the background of
the night, the classic outlines of the
Fine Art palace enhance the effect that
structure always has, and the peculiarly
affective architecture of the great palao
Manufacturer and Liberal - Art
seems never to be seen at better advant
age than when its thousands of incan
descent electric lights are lighted.
The Horticulture and Agriculture
building, however, is the one that seems
to attract most attention in this partic
ular. This ia perhaps due to the fact
that its lines contain more carves and
more architectural eccentricities than
any other, but it ia undoubtedly due in
larger degree to the great nooa or Iignt
which pours through the big glaxs
iome that surmount the building. Vis
itor seem at a loss to decide whether
the prettto picture i presented by day,
when tbe deep green of California mid
winter foliage lend Its aid, or at night
when artificial light play so prominent
part. All are agreed, however, that
tbe California Midwinter International
Exposition is tbe prettiest World's Fair
that baa ever been held upon Ood's foot
stool, and tbe concessionaire, many of
whom have staked their all to cross the
continent and share tbe success of this
Industrial venture, and who mar be exp
ended to be good judges of the' promise
of rack an exposition, are united in the
opinion that this fair will be an immense
snccesa, and that that success will be
readily recognised without cavil a&d
without tbe local jealousies that have
too often surrounded similar enterprise.

California fruits may be found In soma

freights and improved methods of han

more apple and more cherries. The

to give it up. . Don't do it Yon have
passed through the chrysalis start of
your developmentand you are now on
the fair road to 'success. The proper
way to begin will be to purchase a crate
of five hives in flat; what is known aa
the dove-tail hive is probably-preferable
to any other. Next one or two swarms
of bees. These you can usually buy at
home ; if not, send to your nearest dealer.
If you bay at home and, get the' black
bees, yon will need a tested Italian
queen. Yon will want besides-thi a
smoker, bee veil and A. I.. Root's ABC

sort. Yon get in this in a very cheap
form the experience of others, which
you will find very valuable to yon. .. This
