OUR OPPORTUNITY

In the delegation of Half Million club
members now the guests of this city, we
have some of the best representatives of
the rehabilitated am pition of the Golden
Gate city. 1t will be the duty and doubt
less also the pleasure, of the various COM
mitteej and officers whose functions at
this time consist in the care and guardian
ship of those who have come to partici-
itors that they may return to their homes
impressed not alone with the gorgeous
ness of our Fiesta attractions, but also
with the hospitality, courtesy and good
fellowship of Southern CALIFORNIA; cti-
zens. But while these pilgrims from the
north are present we owe duty to our
selves. These gentlemen stand for the
capital, the brains and the energy of a
great city. For San Francisco is great
city in all the cosmopolitan attributes
that Justify the application of the
manded by commerce, in number and
Investigation Of populacc, in variety and
extent of industry, in financial achieve
ment, in social, literary and scie ntific
prestige, the queen city of the coast has
placed her foot on the toe line of great
ness. 1t is true that she seemed to lag
lately in the race of progress, seemed to
rest on her laurels. But she might be
said to have fairly won the privilege of
rest. In less than half a century there
has risen upon the bleak and uninvtng
sand heaps that form the peninsula jut-
ting out between the bay and the ocean,
city that in the old world it would have
taken several times fifty years to build.
These bu ilders could rightfully stop a
while. We have some of those builders here
now. They are accustomed to city con-
struction, to the promotion of vast enter
prises, to the mplishment of hard
tasks. 'S
We need men of that class. We have
the field for the expenditure of their ac-
cumulated capital and the exercise of
their trained talents. W, must attract
them. To do the latter it is not enough
to throw open public and private build
ings, exhibit fruit in glass jars and
pumpkins on shelves guide them through
old missions, and drive them to where
the Raymond used to stand. These
things are all right in their way, but we
always do them. Let us vary the pro-
gramme. We must show orr agricultural
horticultural mineral and commercial
possibilities IAN probabilities to these
agents of new born enterprise, if we
would enlist their practical sympathy and
their idle and hungry capital. To that
end it behooyes the organizations that
have at heart the development of this sec
ton to arrange a systematic course of OBJ
servation of and instruction in our re
sources, our advantages and our projects,
for the delectation of the stranger who
is with us.
Make not only ourselves, but also our
country known.

ROMANTIC NOMENCLATURE
SAN FRANCISCO CALL


Everybody who has any appreciation OF
the value to California of the beautiful
names which grace so many of her coun-
ties, her towns and her valies, will give
cordial approval TO the plea made by the
Los Angeles Herald for the preservation
of the soft sounding, romantic Spanish
names in that section. AS the Herald
well says:-"It means dollars as well as
sentiment. Verdugo Pass means whole
lot more, when spoken in an eastern
state than would the Headsman's Pass
San Gabriel valley has an added charm
by reason of its pretty name, when
spoken of among those familiar with the
language of romance. Burbank will never
be as famous as Santa Anita nor as at
traetive to eastern ears, though her
natural prosperity should far outreach
it. :" These words are of such indubitable
truth that no one is likely to gainsav
them, and there ought to be a resolute
expression of sentiment against any one
who proposes to abolish one of these beau
tiful names in order to advertise himself
by giving his own name to some roman
tic locality or attractive townsite.

A BLESSING IN MASK

In today's Associated Press dispatches
as published in The Herald will be found
humorous discussion of the recent UNI
justihable advance in the price of eastern
oil. 1t is in the form of an interview,
not with Bill Nye or Mark Twain, but
with one David kirk of Pittsburg. That
gentleman says in effect that the en-
hanced price of oil will reproduce pros
perity and be of distinct benefit to the
people at large. He means by that. we
presume. that the people want the neces-
stiles of life made harder to get; that is,
the higher the price of oil, the more they
will burn. He also says that with the
cost to our foreign buyers increased over
800 per cent, they will purchase just as
much as, if not more, than formerly. Just
So Our exports in oleaginous substance
would keep right up; because what
those foreigners are hunting for is
price, they want to get rid of
the products of their labor and in
the name of the gods of the
American League of Scarcity, they ale
going to do SO if they have to pay four
times four times what thing is worth,
as long as it comes from the United
States, and utterly regardless of Russia s
competing oil fields. Nobody but an
obsolete British free trader ever thinks of
buying in the cheapest market He also
sees stimulus to manufactures given by
the advance in oil. That is, manufacture
ers will be able to turn out goods cheaper
if their fuel is dearer. OF course people
have thought differently, but then people
portation rates are high. raw materials
expensive and machinery dear that a
country produces cheaply. This vim.
dictator OF trust is candid and
reasoning if reasonable. His col
leagues in monopoly usually take a
reef in the belt they have around
the people, and then if the latter do not
like it-well they can be blowed. But
this apostle of the idea that high priced
instrumen alities cheaper production,
condescends to point out the why and
wherefore, for which let us be duly
thankful.
But to the average user of oil the late
radical advance is purely without just
reason. There has been no decline in
production, no startling increase in con-
sumption, no 'exaggeration of expense in
procuring it from the bowels of nature s
storehouse. 1t is simply an arbitrary
action by men who have the power to
dictate; and their ability to do the latter
lies in their combination, a com bination
that is extraordinary in only one respect.

PROMOTE the MINING INDUSTRY.

The NEW MEXICAN the other day printed
a dispatch from Washington of much
more than ordinary moment 1t dis
closes the interesting information that
serious movement is on foot among in
huential western men looking to sys-
tematic governmental inquiry as to the
most economical and effective manner OF
extracting the precious metals from
their ores. The promoters of the plan
have not yet decided whether to ask for
the appointment of special commits
sion or to proceed through the geological
survey bureau, but, when conclusion is
reached as to the wisest method of pro-
cedure, no effort will be neglected to
secure prompt and favorable action
from the authorities at Washington.
Certainly the task they have under
taken ought not to be difficult. One en-
tire department of the government, with
cabinet minister at its head, is ex
clusively dedicated to the work of pro-
noting agriculture, horticulture, fruit
culture, animal culture and other kindred
industries. The department annually
spends thousands of dollars in making
all manner of experiments touching the
interests it has in charge, spreading the
Information thereby obtained among the
people, raising and distributing seeds,
and in other ways too numerous to men,
ton. Indeed the department is now
making specially of fostering and en-
couraging the culture of sugar beets. No
fault is found with this. PROFESSIONALLY
the department of agriculture annually
renders services of inestimable value to
the people and the NEW MEXICAN heartily
wishes it God speed in its good work.
But the very success that has attende d
the labors of the department of agricul-
ture is strong argument in favor of the
proposed governmental investigation re-
specting the extraction of the precious
metals. It is logical. 1t is reasonable.
It is just. 1t should be broad enough in
its scope to include all the varied inter
ests of the mining industry. Such COM
mission would find fruitful field for use

and silver bearing lodges and vast placer
fields Of New Mexico. Cheaper methods
of mining and above all cheaper and
more effective methods of treatment are
alone necessary to the realization of mil
lions in gold and silver from the low

PROVE UP YOUR CLAIMS.

While it is true, perhaps, that the de-
mand for gold mining property is to-day
an important factor in western business
circles, it is also true that the day has
gone by when the mining sharper can
work any sort of fimsy mining scheme
off on investors. 1t is very hard work
these days to dispose of property
whose value has not been proved up. On
the other hand worthy claims, where the
chances for successful development are
reasonably good, are snapped up as bar
gains. The mining men of New Mexico
must first prove to themselves that they
have a claim worth developing before
they ask capital to 60 in with them.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A New Wool Process.


When the New York wool exchange
opens in May, it will open to considerable
purpose. Thanks to the ingenuity of
Professor Ernest Fahrig, German
chemist and engineer, and William I.
Cutter, state chemist of Connecticut,
American wool now promises to bring
from 8 q 10c ID more money than here
tofore. When it is realized that nearly
5OO,OOO,OO0 lbs of wool have been con-
sumed in the United States in the year
1894, the difference is considerable.
The variation in price will be due to
simply one thing-good washing. Amer
lean wool has been as good, and in many
cases better, than foreign wool, but old
world cleaning methods have been su-
perseded, with the result that foreign wool
has commanded better price from those
manufacturers who require superior
staple.
Now, however, there is much reason
for believing that the tables are turned.
The Empire Wool Cleaning company, a
New Jersey corporation, controlling the
Cutter and Fahrig patents and processes,
is in a position to turn out better
American wool than the best foreign
wool at no increased cost. About 20 per
cent of uncleaned wool is wool-oil. The
Fahrig and Cutter process saves all
this OIL whereas the old alkali
process gets out nothing. Thus gain
to the national wealth may be effected to
the extent of 100,00OO00 pounds annually,
pure animal oil, valuable as base for
ointments, soap and other preparations,
being sold for go cents pound.
These are stupendous figures, but they
appear to be fully justified by the facts
and supported by competent and author
itative testimony.
Yesterday the board of directors of the
Empire Wool Cleaning company decided
to take steps to construct another plant
on New York bay in order to be in
position to fill orders and facilitate the
shipping Of wool consigned to Them
