SEEN BY A CALIFORNIAN.
VIM. Corbin Gives Some impress.
sions Obtained East During
Vacation

st may seem surprising, but it is fact
that of all the cities which l took in on
my trip East, staid old Cincinnati ap-
peared to have made the most progress,
especially in the matter of rapid transit"
This is what William Corbin, secretary
and general manager of the Continental
Building and Loan Association, said to a
CALL reporter yesterday as he leaned back
in his Office chair Mr.. Corbin has just re-
turned from trip accompanied by his
wife and family He, has been recupera-
ting in Ohio and Kentucky among boy
hood associations after six years of I'M
renting work at his desk. He said he
felt like new man and his looks en-
phasized the remark.
"Six years ago Cincinnati was a horsecar
town with only one or two cable-roads.
To-day you can go to Fountain square,
which is commercially the center OF the
city, and get an electrician to any point of
the compass within radius of ten miles
of the city into Kentucky or Ohio and one
scent fare pays the bill. l am convinced
that this has been brought about by the
building and loan companies, which have
built up so many suburban towns that
demand rapid transit. Speaking OF build
ing and loan companies" ne continued,
''are you aware that Cincinnati next to
Philadelphia leads in this direction :?
Naturally while there Hooked into the new
features established since my former visit,
but failed to find one institution with more
progressive elements than the Continental
of San Francisco, the only difference
being that building and loan associations
have been longer established in the East
and ten people carry building and loan
stock there where one does here.
"They believe, too, that man who
does not carry this stock shows poor bust
ness Judgment. However, the people out
here are fast lear ming the benefits of these
associations and the fact that the CONT
mental has more than doubled it's business
within the past year indicates it pretty
clearly"
Naturally Mr.. Corbin feels gratified over
the rapid increase in the company's bust
. ness ard its prosperous condition since
coming under his safe and enterprising
management. Its place in popular conf.
dence in California has now been thor
oughiy established, and how the Cont
mental stands in the great Eastern centers
of population may be judged from the
following taken from the National Build
ing and Loan Herald, the leading author
ity in the United States:
1.-TWO years ago the Continental had
written $685., $50 of stock and had acquired
assets OF $94, 332 70. A year ago this score
was increased to $636,500 and $500, 377 &C
respectively. But in June last the sub
scribed capital had increased to $1.340, 20C
and the assets to $1S5, 400 80. To-day the
assets are in excess of $240 900 and the
share capital 81 $50, 100. And these figures,
after the manner OF building association
assets, gather momentum with each sue
cessive period"

Union equal to California for stock-rais-
ing" said Henry Miller to reporter who
called at his Office yesterday morning.
But notwithstanding our natural advan-
tages the stock-ralsing industry in Cali
fornia will have to be conducted along diff
ferent lines in order to attain its best and
most profitable development. The change
must be radical, The successful stock
raiser of the future will be small land
holder, for already the business is becom-
ing improbable to the large holders.
1.-THE latter are an obstacle to the develop
ment of California, and the sooner the big
tracts are subdivided and settled upon by
industrious families the better it will be
for the State. With habits of thrift and
indus try, doing their own work instead of
hiring it done, these families will become
prosperous and independent, and develop
in the truest way the greatness and re-
sources of the country. By these methods
beef, pork and mutton of the highest grade
can be proftably produced.
1.-THE same remarks apply to fruit-grow-
ing, and the adaptability of the soil and
climate of California for the production of
fruit in perfection makes it easy for any
one Will proper LueIHOuS duU cucISy w
make good living in the cultivation of
fruit.
There is no occasion for so many men
to be idle. If labor would harmonic with
present conditions and men would work
for wages corresponding to the present
prices OF products there would be work for
thousands more. But the idle and the
vicious desire to live off the labor of other
men.
II sometimes wonder" pursued Mr..
Miller. what has become of the English
speaking laboring man. Our firm en-
ploys thousand workmen. They are nearly
all Scandinavians, Portuguese and Ital-
ians. The other labor has disappeared,
followed other pursuits and I wish to be-
lieve dong better.
''Our freight rates are too high in pro-
portion to the value OF products and are a
drawback to the prosperity of the State.
The San Joaquin Valley road is a move in
the right direction, and l believe the COM
petition resulting therefrom will be bene-
fetal to the State"

THE SKIES ARE FRIGHTENING.
Murray Bros. Predict a Year of In.
duStrial and Business
Activity.

81 have no hesitation in saying that
there is already marked improvement in
our branch of business" said William F.
Murray, senior member of the firm of
Murray Bros, in conversation with a
CALL reporter yesterday at their machine
works. 252 Beale street, From an indus
trial point of view there is an improved
outlook for the whole coast. The past
business depression has not affected
our resources, and these include every
material capable of being manufac-
tured into articles of commerce. Improved
commercial relations with other countries
are having stimulating effect on our man.
ufactures, and l may cite, in proof OF the
fact that our firm is filling orders for
hosting engines for Australia, Hawaii
and even as far east as Nova Scotia. The
mining revival throughout the coast ex-
tends to Alaska, and we have recently
shipped to tina: point one of our latest
improved hosting engines, together with
some of the firms specialties in sawmill
machinery. We are now building, also for
Alaska, large compound engine for tug
boat engaged in towing salmon barges."
Mr.. Murray explained, in answer to a
question, that the electric hoist constructed
by the firm for Dunsmuir & Sons coal
bunkers, which has attracted considerable
attention, is the first in successful opera
ton on this coast: ut is really an appli-
cation of the Murray Bros patent friction
drum, which can be attached to any cleo
trio mother. This patent enables man
to raise four tons by the simple weight of
his hand or by pressing button
They build fast steamers, towboats and
launches, marine, stationary and portable
engines and engines for all purposes, and
employ large force of men. 81 can say"
continued Mr.. Murray, that all the shops
are busy. Workmen are receiving good
wages and there are no idle men," Murray
Bros, who have been fifteen years in bust
ness, are advocates of home industry, in
Guiding that home product, the California
boy. THE California boy makes the best
mechanic in the world" said Samuel
Murray. 1--WE have turned out numbers
of them who are now holding important
positions. They are quick and intelligent
and can do more work than boys raised
elsewhere.

MURPHY.GRANTC co.
The Greatest Wholesale Dry
Goods House in Cali.
fOrnia or on the Coast.

The great majority OF business houses
and CORPORATIONS whose stately edifices or
nament our City and give 1t the character
of great metropolis are of recent origin,
having come into existence since the COM
pletion of railroad communication with
the East.
Few, indeed, are the firms founded in
1.-THE days of gold" that bear prominent
part in commercial life in this year Of
grace. They have succumbed either to the
financial disasters which have swept over
our City and State. or to the changed con-
ditions brought about by our rapid growth.
A remarkable exception to this rule is the
great house of Murphy, Grant & Go. In
the days of the Argonauts it was a noted
name, and the volume of its business has
kept pace with the wonderful development
which has distinguished San Francisco, so
that it stands to-day as it has stood in the
past-at the head of the greatest wholesale
dry goods houses on the Pacific Coast.
The firm is synonym for all that is finan-
cially strong and honorable is commercial
life. Through all the critical periods in
the financial history of California it has
pursued the same conservative and steady
course that has given it the position of
eminence in the business world which it
now occupies.
Its vast transactions are not confined to
the United States, but extend to the great
European centers of trade. The opera
tons of the firm are restricted to whole
sailing domestic and imported dry goods,
and nothing required by the trade can fail
to be found in the immense stock which
the firm carries in its great warehouses.
The firm consists of Adam Grant, Henry
Murphy, Joseph ID. Grant and Fl. l.. Whip
pie, who are honored for their probity as
well as for their high commercial stand
ing. The history of their house is part of
the history of San Francisco.

CALIFORNIA; RESOURCES.
What Henry Miller Thinks of the
Future of the Stock and
Fruit Industries,

There is not a man in the State whose
dictum on the advantages of California
for stoek-raising carries equal authority
with that of Henry Miller, or who can
equal him in varied knowledge of the pro-
ductive capacity of the lands of the entire
State. Nearly forty years ago Henry
Miller, in partnership with Charles Lux,
began operations in the stock business by
the purchase of thousand head of CATTLE
From that small beginning grew the vast
business which consists of landed posses
sions, an empire in extent, and cattle on
Thousand hills in California, Nevada and
Oregon.
Henry Miller had personal supervision
of these ranches, reckoned by miles in
stead of acres, and managed the vast
herds of cattle, being familiar with every
practical detail of the industry. He lived
hard. never sparlng himself, working with
the energy OF steam-engine, and often,
to encourage a spirit of emulation in his
men, performing the work of common
laborer.
He knows every detail regarding the
quality of these lands and has more
knowledge in his head as to their capacity
iOI pIOOuC1uS lOob tlOpS, SIdsStSi CcIedIS
and fruits than is contained within the
covers of a library of agricultural reports.
In a recent sult he testified: 81 know
the land and its character, its advantages
and it's disadvantages. Every blanch of
the business of every nature depends
on our stock interest. There is nothing
done, no improvement made, no change
made which don't lead to the benefit of
our business in the way of increasing the
capacity of the land in the maintenance
of our stock and to guard against
drought, and to guard against the weat her
in winter, when our cattle must be fed by
artificial means. When l say everything,
that pertains to farming and grazing and
the improvement of the land-with some
exceptions. We have planted some small
orchards to show the capacity of the land

THE PARDONING POWER.
Suggested Reform in the Exercise
of Executive ClemeDcy.

The case of Morosco, who was sentenced
to death for murder committed in Solano
County, has attracted good deal of atten-
ton, owing to the reasons advanced by
Governor Budd for refusing to commute
his. sentence.
James A. Devote, the well-known lawyer
of Montgomery block, was attorney for
the Italian Consul in that case. He said
yesterday to CALL reporter: Governor
Budd objected to committing his sentence
to life Imprisonment on the ground that if
he did so some future Governor might
pardon him. 1 think the suggestion good
one, and that an act should be passed by
the Legislature prohibiting the Governor
from pardoninga murderer whose sentence
has been committed from death to that of
life imprisonment. Being found guilty of
murder in the first degree by the jury, the
judgment OF death being pronounced by
the trial court, upheld by the appellate
court and then com muted by the Governor,
in my opinion there is no danger of any
injustice or wrong being done the criminal
by the act in the question.
sin this case the Governor has reprieved
the prisoner until March, 1897, having in
view recommendation to the Legislature
for the passage of such an act.'
Mr.. Devote takes keen interest in ques-
tons affecting the community, and his
suggestions, which are of practical ma.
ture, usually have some bearing on the
exercise of the legislative function. For
so young a man-courting only % years
he enjoys good practice in his profession
and has large clientage among our
Italian citizens.
Although he graduated from a public
school in San Francisco, his native City,
in a manner common to numbers OF
youths, his career since is somewhat inter
esting. He studied law, and was SO hard
a student that he was admitted to the bar
