a California-street merchant to-day fur
nlshes an Illustration of the advantages which
have been accorded to the Chicago merchants
over the san Francisco merchants by the i'm
position OF high local transportation charges
within the State. NWe have a carload rate ON
our goods of 81 70 per hundredweight for
transportation from Chicago TO San Fran
cisco. The rate a hundredweight of the
same commodity from Chicago TO Fresno is
50. The local rate from San Francisco to
Fresno is over half the rate per hundred
weight from Chicago to Fresno, being in fact
80 cents per hundredweight. Add this 90
cents to the carload rate of 81 rs from Chi
cago and you can see what chance there is for
US TO do a jobbing trade with the interior in
these goods. With the local rates added 1t
costs us 50 50 per hundredweight to lay
down in Fresno goods brought from Chicago
in carload lots, while the Chicago jobber de-
1vers the same goods for So. Here is differ
ence of 90 cents per hundredweight against us
in freight money and no margin for profit
Can you wonder that the jobbing trade of san
Francisco even within points near this city
is slipping away in favor of Chicago and
other Eastern jobbing points? have list of

tonnage of l ,2si,O0o tons. Bordeaux has
fleets of light vessels plying to the New
foundland banks and small steamers to
many ports for wine and food carriage.
and still others to England, Holland and
other points with and for merchandise.
Bordeaux's main commerce is, however,
with the American coasts, to both the
American continents. The trade has
been created and in the face of rivalry of
a score of European ports and distribut-
ing centers.
But San Francisco, with no seaport
rival for the trade of the Pacific at all
comparable with hers, has not the supre-
macy Bordeaux enjoys and makes no
effort TO dispute with the more farseeing
merchants of Europe for trade that she
can, If she wills it, make nearly all her
own. San Francisco, in short, lacks the
enterprise of Bordeaux, though having
infinitely greater advantages as a seaport,
as to harbor, geographical location and
the backing of a continent.
In the same issue the Argonout, refer
ring to the commercial narrowness of
ideas of the San Francisco merchants,
who refuse to make horizon of view for
themselves beyond their door-sills, says
Already business north and south of us has
been taken away from us by the superior
energy and enterprise of other cities and yet
we do not seem in the least alarmed and
hardly annoyed by it. Those blind leaders of
the blind, the old-establshed merchants of
San Francisco, still dream of a recurrence of
the pioneer days when circumstance, not bus

SAN FRANCIsCo's NEGLECT OF

The San Francisco Arqonaut continues
its comparisons between other seaports
and San Francisco, to illustrate the truth
that the latter city is neglecting its natu-
raj advantages and sitting in ashes with
out reason. It cites the cases of Ham
burg, Bremen, Marseilles, Valparaiso.
Melbourne and Bordeaux as examples
for the California metropolis.
Bordeaux has SO. 00oless population than
San Francisco. It is sixty miles inland
on river which ships of the sea can only
enter at certain stages of the tide, and
even then there is but twenty feet of

d. d. Howe and wife were very agreea-
Div surprised last week Wednesday even
ing by a visit from about twenty-five
members of the Sunday School class IN

The evening passed very pleasantly and
all too quick, and upon leaving the party
presented them with a beautiful parioT
lamp as a slight token OF their esteem and
friendship Friday evening Mr.. Howe
rendered his resignation of the office OF
Master of the Brookfield Grange, his wife
OF the office of secretary and his daughter
as lady assistant steward which the
Grange accepted with serious regret and
the members presented these worthy offi-
GERS with handsome set of silver plated
knives and forks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe wish us to tender
their thanks to their many friends who
have made their sojourn in Brookfield SO
pleasant and have remembered them on
the eve OF their departure for Burlington
with such substantial tokens of their es-
TEEN.

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY

Wisconsin has within the last few years
undergone a wonderful change, and is to-
day one OF the most prosperous and pro-
ductive states in the union, and " hat has
made it so? Why, because her rich fertile
lands are well adapted and produce large
crops OF wheat, oats. corn, barley, rye, POI
tatoes, hay, fax, hops and tobacco: be
cause her lumber and timber trade exceeds
that OF any state east OF the Rocky Mount
aims, because OF her enormous manufac-
turing interests, the quality and value of
her live stock, saying nothing OF her min
ing products, fisheries and enormous wa
ter powers. This is a desirable state for
settlers intending to locate In the North
west.
The Wisconsin Central Lines, as its name
would indicate, penetrates the center OF
the state, and tributary to its lines are the
choicest farming and timber lands. A.
mong the many thriving cities and towns
along this route are Burlington, Wauke-
sha. Fon du Lac, Stevens Point, Chippe-
wa Falls, Eau Claire, New Richmond and

condition of Sunday school work in diff
ferent parts of the world; to illustrate

The building will be used as headquar-
tiers not only for Sunday school work, but

needed sum of $4,000 it is proposed that
each Sunday school give an amount equal
to not less than ten cents from each officer
