need, and then, coming to the Pacific Slope
placed himself in the foremost ranks and is
now one Of the influential wealthy and pros
porous men Of the Golden State. No man has
more general information than Gen. Barnes
and to him the visiting members are very
largely indebted for a very accurate and ele-

of California, and OF the trade and commerce of
the high seas The entire committee were
most active in their duties, and to them is due
much of the pleasure of the Encampment.
The 3st Inf. band played throughout the
evening, opening with the "Star Spangled
Banner" The 1st Inf is one Of the best
bands in San Francisco, and their music is Of
very high order. Following the introductory
remarks Of Gen. Barnes, which were in the best
taste and made fine impression upon the su-
dience, the band rendered Hail Columbia"
the enthusiasm reaching white heat.
GEN. GEORGE SLOVENIAN,
the dashing cavalry raider, gave the address of
welcome in behalf of California. The General
had printed his address and read from manu-
script. He is evidently not so brilliant a
speaker as he was soldier. but his address
was becoming leading citizen and high
executive of one of the great States of the West.
The greeting from San Francisco was by the
Hon. Washington Bartlett, Mayor Of the city.

/ proudly representative Of the great soldier
organization Of the country. During the course
of his speech he quoted from poem written on
California by Lucius HarwoOd FOote, a very
brilliant descriptive poem.
| Gen. Burdett understands perhaps more than

of his speech he was interrupted again and
again with the livliest applause. Following
the address three cheers were given, the people

| Gen. Horatio G. King. of the Army of the

! Gen. Dimond, the next speaker, stands very

steamboating on the Mississippi.

The prosperous days Of steamboating
on the Mississippi ended about 1869.
During that year the three lines working
between st. Louis and st. Paul earned
close on 81, 900, 600, over half of which
was made by the Northwestern Union
Packet Company, now known rs the st.
Louis and st. Paul Packet Company.
In 1S64-65 this company, which was
operating a line of superior boats be-
tween Dubuque and st. Paul, decided
to run on to st. Louis, owing to the
inroad made upon their business by the
railroads. Then followed the bitterest
competition ever known on the river.
The Northwestern Union had to fight
against the Keokuk Northern line, the
Northwestern Packet Company and the
st. Louis and Quincy Packet Company.
The struggle was terrific, and hundreds
of thousands of dollars was lost and
gained. The last-namtd company soon
threw up the sponge, and its boats were
bought up by the Northwestern Union,
who spent over half million on these and
new boats. 1t then owned such boats as
the Phil Sheridan, Alex. Mitchell,
Tom Fisher, Congress, Belle, Lacrosse,
Key City, Minneapolis, Mollie Mearke,
War Eagle, Keokuk, Andy Johnson,
Star, Victory, Damsel, City of Quincy,
John Kyle. S. II. Mason, Hudson,
George S. Weeks and Mollie Mohler.
The Keokuk company had the A. Johns
Rob Roy, Harry Johnson, Bayard and
several others, and the old Northern
line had the Red Wing Dubuque, Rock
Island, Keithsberg, New Boston, Penn,
blna and Canada. The total value OF
these was about $4,000, 600, and by 1917
the Northwestern Union had driven al
its rivals from the field. The victors in
the summer of that year laid up all theil
boats except two, on each Of which they
lost $4,000 a week, and it was the follJ
of the other competing companies il
keeping their boats all running which
| finally ruined them. When the mon
opoly was established prices per hundrel

New French Dollar.

The French government has coined a
new dollar for circulation in Tonquin in
east. Specimens OF the coin are to be seen
in London, and it appears to be exactly
the same as the Mexican dollar in weight.

ever. is different, and this it is which in
spires the criticism, by those who know
Chinese, that the later will reject it and
will say: mo wantee China sid :" 1t will
be remembered that the United States
formerly coined a trade dollar for circula-
ton in the east; but its deficiency in fine
ness (371H grains instead Of 377k %grains)
soon became apparent to the astute
natives, and they reverted to the Mexican
dollar, large quantities of which are still
sent to China. 1t remains to be seen
whether the dollar provided by the French
government will be more successful.
