MISSION PARK.

The numbe OF lots offered to the Super
visors as sites for the proposed PARK in
the Mission are sufficiently numerous to
afford wide room for selection. They
fer from one another to so great an ex-
tent in size, location, form and cost as 10
make the decision a matter of considera-
BILE difficulty and it will not be until each
proposition has been thoroughly studied
that its merits as compared with those of
others can be accurately determined.
From the prices asked for the various
sites it is evident the cost of park Of
anything like adequate area will be large.
That, of course, was something to be ex-
pected for San Francisco soil is no longer
dirt cheap" nor cheap dirt. 1t is cheaper
now, however, than it is ever likely 10 be
at any future time, and the true lesson to
be learned from the sums demanded is
that If we are going to have such park
now is the best possible time to obtain the
land for it.
Up TO this point the movement for es-
tabishing park for the benefit OF the
Mission district has been a singularIy har-
monious one. 1t is recognized that the
people of that section OF the City ought
to have park area near their homes and
commensurate with their needs. SAM.
tary science has long ago made it known
that parks fulfill to crowded communities
more service than that Of supplying recre-
alton grounds. They are essential to pub
lie health, and therefore a park in tn at
sscton of the City would be beneficial to
the public at large as well as 10 those in
its i'm m Ell late neig borhood.
Public sentiment being thus favorable
to the park it is 10 be hoped the difficult
task OF selecting the site for 1t can be ac-
com mplished without creating dissensjons
which will endanger the success of the en-
terprise. There can be no question that
the movement has now reached the crit
ical point of its development and that it
will require good judgment. unselfish pur-
pose and NJ oderation oil method on the
part OF its promoters to carry it through
within the near future.
The people of San Francisco though
demanding lower rates OF taxation, are
opposed not so much to the expenditure
Of public money as 10 the waste of It,
There Is every reason to believe they will
readily support the taxation necessary to
achieve economically any important
municipal improvement such as the pro-
posed park would be. The task OF provid-
ing the park, therefore, while difficult,
is not i'm possible. It. is time we were be-
ginning new order of things, and inaugu-
rating an era in which the people will
work together for the general good. If
we can bring that about in the proposed
work, the new park will remain for US
noble monument to mark the commence
ment OF the new epoch in our municipal
history. and would be an incentive for
further i'm prove ments IN the future.

sHBEPMEA's OPPORTUNITY.

While duly sympath:Zing with tbs Aus

which has just come to them by reason OF
the protracted 1routh the sheepmen OF
this country should be wIdeawake to the
prospect the disaster promises of an ad-
vance in the wool market. 1t is now q
duty they owe both 10 themselves and to
the whole community to ambitiousiy ex-
ercise every expedient of shepherd skill to
produce the heaviest fleeces this season.
Every judicious forethought and every
diligent care in providing for each day
abundant and nutritious pasture and
plenty of wholesome water will reap a
rich reward. After reaching the average
sum necessary for paying running ex-
penses every fraction of pound added

added to the price is clear profit.

one-half their flocks and that these will

are not only dying by thousands of star

will be appreciated by considering what
such a loss amounts 10. 1t would take

rounds. By this worlds estimate the so
per cent loss OF Australia would be only
one-eighth of the whole instead of one
fifth, but even that might make very
profitable margin in the market over the
usual profits.
The advantage cannot last but few
years, for sheep reach maturity so early
they can by skilled shepherding be m ulti-
piled with marvellous IA pidity. This same
facility of m multiplication, however, can be
availed of by our tlockmasters in prod uc-
ing an increased amount of wool while the
Australians are catching up.
Competent experts estimate that the
heavy importations OF wool brought into
the country this spring 10 forestall the ex-
pectcd increase OF duty under the new
tariff have already reached an amount
sufficient for the needs of the country for
more than year 10 come. Under these
circumstances our profits from the short.
age of the world wool crop will go mainly
to the importers rather than the growers
