The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
lias been found by the offi
cial examinations to be of tlie
highest leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and wholesomeness-
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest and most economical food.

Several Tons Taken From Bay
This Morning Probably
Lost Off Barges
Tho oil gushers of Southern Cal
ifornia woro mndo to look sick by
tho dredgo Scattlo today In Its yield
ing of not Icsb than tlireo tons of
coal, extracted from tho Hay and
sent gushing out on tho domnln of
DToudwny and Elrod streets. Wliotli
or or not tho coal had its origin in
tho bay or whether a hargo load
has been lost ovorbonrd somo tlmo
paBt is difficult to determine, but
tho lattor Is more llkoly.
Tho coal is of largo stzo,
and Is being sont shooting forth
from tho mouth of tho pipe
lino nt tho rato of a ton an hour.
S.voral persons nro huslly ougagod
In gathering tho blnek diamonds, one
man hnvlng gathered a ton in four
hours. That tho conl has been In
tho bay for hoiuo tlmo Is proven by
tho ovldonco of barnacles that cling
to it.
lllstorlnns of tho country rtls
agrco as to tho origin of tho coal,
or as to how It eumo to bo In tho
bay. Charles Powers, who was em
ployed nt tho bunkers for several
years, says that tho coal Is tho ovor
flow that comes from ships loading
at tho bunkers lunr by. Mr. Pow
ers says that Bovornl years ago a
hargo load of coal overturned nonf
tho bunkor. Mr. Powors places
a couservatlvo ostlmnto of tho coal
that will bo ylolded by the bay at
200 tons.
Hugh McLnln explains tho pros
onco of tho coal by tho overturning
of two barges sovornl years ago. "1
think tlioro Is not less than 100
tons of conl In tho bay nonr these
bun Iters," said Mr. McLnln today,
"as every tlmo n ship londs not less
tlinn 1000 pounds nro dashed ovor
hoard through careloss methods In
loading."
LS FIGHT
I 0
Powers Put Out by Mitchell in
Sixth, but Claim of Foul
Sustained by Referee
Larry Mitchell proved one too
many for Lon Powors In n bout tlmt
was scheduled' to go ten rounds nt
North Demi Inst night. It ended In
tho sixth, with Powers claiming a
foul. The pair woro brenklng from
a clinch In the sixth round, when
Mitchell rained, n number of short
Jolts to tho body. Powors sank to
the floor and claimed a font. Ho was
ushorcd to his corner nnd tho crowd
yelled to tho rofcreo for a decision.
While tho crowd was waiting, Pow
ers' seconds tossed tho Bpongo Into
tho ring. Powers hlmsolf ruBhod out
nnd grabbed tho taken of truco,
claiming that o had boon fouled,
lloforco Sax dollboratod for ton min
utes and finally pronounced tho fight
n draw. '
Doth woro very aggressive and tho
go was a fast one. Tho nnnounccd
weight was 138 ringside, but Mitch
ell was eight or ten pounds heavier
than Powers. ,
A curtain rnisor was fought by Ed
Drown nnd Jnck .Mason. Tho bout
went tho full six rounds nnd was
called a draw. People who saw
Drown box In North Dond during
ChrlBtmns weok say that ho lins Im
proved much. Tho bout was fast nnd
Interesting nnd tho decision of rcf
oreo Sax was vory well received.
A fairly largo crowd attended tho
bout, filling tho small gymnasium,
nnd perfect order was maintained
throughout tho cntlro ovenlng. At
one stago of tho preliminary tho con
testants extended their lines of bat
tle, causing Bovernl war correspon
dents seated at tho rlngsldo to rlso
nnd "givo tho boys room."
Itoforco Sax declared all hots off
on tho mnln ovont on account of tho
sudden termination.
