in the development Of san Francisco has been
the cable car system. which is, perhaps, the most
complete in this country. The mild climate has
aided the extension Of cable roads for it is seldom
that may not ride in the open air. and the
new cars are so constructed that they may be
transformed from open TO closed cars AT viii
The Southern Pacific syndicate. which now CON
trolls twothird> OF the street railroads of the city,
proposes TO make extensive additions TO It's system
next year, which will open up comparatively
isolated districts -Four electric roads will be
built One will start from the Southern Pacific
depot and run ont Kcntuciy-st. 10 Rairoad-avc.,
and thence 10 South San Francisco, "a distance of
three miles Another will start at the foot OF
MissOn-s. and run along this big thoroughfare
to the county line. a distance of eight miles. Two
cross-town roads will branch from thesc and open
up the territory south Of Markct-st. \ new cabl'
cross-town road will start at Blyst. and run up
Fillmore-st to Market. thence to Church-st, ana
out Church 10 Tlnrticth ST. In AL twenty miles

General Chapman. of Red Blun rs well known
In fruit.growIng as in State politics, read this
week an elaborate paper before the Board OF
Trade on the growth of California. lie showed
that seven southern counties had received 6l per
cent of the entire Increase in rural population ana
that the northern counties had remained ainloN
at a standstill for ten years. This result ne
attributed mainly 10 the fact that in the northern
counties biz landholdcrs refused TO subdlVlde 'eh
tracts and sell on easy terms Another Slghihc'h'
fact was that two out Of three OF the nc" S''l'IS
