Chances of the Tatkyrse III to Tin the

Chances of the Talkyrte III to Yin the
America's Cup.
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, June 2s.-De.
signer Watson yesterday stated at Courock
that the rating of Lord Dunraven's new
yacht Valkyrie III was approximately 1856
The Ailsa, which went into the dock
here on the 25th, has had six tons of lead
removed from her keel. Her mast has
also been shortened five feet and her boom
three feet, and her mainsail has been cor
respondingly reduced. A longer topmast,
however, has been fitted. Her approx.
mate rating is now 100. On a fifty-mile
course the Valkyrie III will allow the
Ailsa 2 minutes and IS seconds and the
Britannia minutes and seconds. The
Vaikyrle, Allsa and Britannia are all en-
tered for the races at Rothesay on Saturday
and Monday next.
The Times to-day says: The Valkyrie'
chances of winning the Americas cup will
be better written about after her nader
essay Saturday. Yet it may be said thai
if she can be handled by sixty men ano
ably carry the canvas with which, she Il
loaded, it Is practically certain that the
cup will return to Great Britain in 1895.

It is my belief that revolution in the matter
of railway construction and travel is at hand.
| believe that with new and improved methods OF
construction, and with the use of new motor
power, transportation speed will be immensely
increased. Electricity will take the place Of
steam and single track will take the place of
the present double rails, and whereas sixty miles
an hour is now the very limit Of speed, $50 miles
an hour, and possibly more than that, will be at
tanned with more safety and comfort to the trav-
elers than is assured them. 1t may be
thought that such prophecy is chimerical, but
assuredly it is no more chimerical at this day
than was the telegraph, the telephone or the
steam railway in the days of their infancy.
So much for the future. l have ventured it
as the prophecy of who can remember
when there were almost no railroads and no tele-
graph and no telephone. Coming now to the
present and the immediate future we find that
Californians have their interest centered in one
great railroad enterprise-the San Joaquin Valley
line. This is distinctly and peculiarly Cali
fornia enterprise, started by California capital,
engineered and promoted by California brains
and skill, built by California workmen of Cali
fornia material and to be operated for the benefit
of California producers and citizens.
My investments in the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad, and'I think those of most of the gen.
tlemen associated with me in that enterprise,
were prompted by two motives chiefly. These
were the need of the State for further and COM
peting transportation facilities and the belief that
such investments would in the end prove profit
able These motives still hold good. They have
been indorsed by the press and the public gener-
ally, and now the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
is an assured fact and all due speed is being
made in it's construction.
When it is remembered that all the work is
being done by California capital, that it is con-
suming, in so far as possible only California ma
teral and products, and that it is employing only
California labor realizes at glance that this
enterprise not only promises largely for the fu-
ture but is performing abundantly for California
in the present This work of construction will
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-25

be pushed rapidly as far south Bakersfield.
The final opening of the road to public traffic
will mark new era for California producers, and
the whole State will be immeasurably benefited
I ought hardly to close an article on sub
ject of such vital importance to the material in
terests of California, l feel, without improving
the opportunity herein afforded to recur again to
what l have already stated concerning the beet
sugar interests of this State. Too much stress
can hardly be laid upon the Importance of this
industry and it's growth to the general prosperity.
1t may be contended by persons not familiar
with all the details of the industry and the bene
tits accruing from it that there is In It's greater
development profit only for the manufacturers
But this will not be the result. The producer
and the employe must In the nature OF things
share with the manufacturer. AS the sugar IN
dustry will add to the titled acreage of California
so will it add to facilities of the farmer for the
accumulation Of wealth and demand an added
number of employees. The commercial interests
of the towns and cities must likewise be en-
hanced and the consumer share IN the general
result. The producers and manufacturers OF this
State by an association which is active In It's
efforts desire the patronage Of home products ana
home manufactures. Now the beet-sugar indus
try is directly in line with this principle, and
doubly so, in fact, because it comprehends not
only the production of the raw material in Cali
fornia but also the manufacture OF the article
ready for the market and for consumption
Should the industry grow, as | hope it will, to
such an increase of acreage as to demand the ad-
vent of more farmers into the State, then 1t Will
become an indirect adjunct to the Half million
Club in aiding the increase OF the population OF
California, if not Of San Francisco
am willing to add to my investments IN
this State by the establishment Of beetsugar manu-
factories in the hope of arousing the people OF
California to the due Importance of this great sub
ject, as well as for personal profit.

peacefully out, leaving many tender memo
ries for those who knew him best. The
