THE MINING EXPOSITION.

NX OST gratifying in every respect are the signs
| l OF increasing public interest throughout the
State IN the coming exposition of mines
and mining. The opportunity for attracting atten-
ton to the golden resources of California and the
Greater West is so promising of beneficial results
that it would be folly to neglect it. and yet we can
not rightly profit by unless all the counties of the
State, and particularly the mining counties, CO.
operate with San Francisco in making it an exposi-
ton of even more than national fame
Fortunately the outlook is bright Three forces
combine to advance the movement. In the first
place the mining men of the State and of the West
generally working for it a means of displaying
to the world undoubted proofs of the superiority of
the mining resources of this section of the Union
the pioneers with the Native Sons and Daughters.
are supporting it as most appropriate means of
celebrating the ftieth anniversary OF the discovery
OF gold in California while at the same time serv-
ing to promote the welfare of the commonwealth;
and, finally the merchants and manufacturers inter
ested in the Alaskan trade giving their help be-
cause they in it opportunity to attract to San
Francisco thousands of persons who intend to go
to Alaska and whose trade will constitute almost
commercial boom for the Pacific Coast
By of these forces every county
in the State is affected There is no community in
California-or in the whole mining region of the
West for that matter-that cannot see some benefit
to be gained for itself by an active participation in
the exposition All sections of this portion of the
Union have more resources and more opportunities
for the investment of capital than the world knows
and the only way to bring about their development
is to advertise them. This will be accomplished by
the exposition, and such advertisement will be
the more advantageous because it will reach men
who are interested in mining and looking for
mining investments
Enough has been already accomplished in the
way OF preparation to make it certain that the ex-

SOMETHING TO BOAST OF.

San Franciscans who associate with
New Workers hear a great deal of brag-
ging about the tall buildings of Gotham,
and the people of all large Eastern cities
are disposed to boast in similar way.
But the San Franciscan can always re-
mark, without fear of successful contra
diction. that we have here the handsom-
est tall building in the country. There
is nothing in the United States to COM
pare with the SpreckelS building, at Mar
ket street, for beauty and perhaps notn-
ing to compare with it in costnness' Size
for size.
The tall building is hard to handle from
the architectural point or view. Ihose
of the East have, a rule, as mucn
beauty as long box, stood on END ana
pierced at regular intervals with rectan-
gular holes. The Spreckels building 1s
graceful from the sidewalk line to the
lantern that surmounts its richly orna-
mented and well-balanced dome. Inc
eve is carried up the whole great dis
tance with the greatest ease owing TO
the cleverness OF the architect and the
freedom with which he was allowed tR
ornament the exterior. The idea of n
column, such as the tall building reaLA
is, is finely carried out, with pede5tal,N
base shaft and capital, so that the sense
Of dizzy height is not felt in gazing at
the structure and all trace OF monotony
is removed. When the building was
ablaze with light last Saturday evening
pressive and lovely sight, such as no
other city could show But at all times,
in all atmoSphereS 1t is thing or beauty
that the city may be proud to have
strangers see; and 1t will be so for many
a generation-a monument to the public
the good citizen who raised it.-San

THE WEATHER BUREAU SERVICE

c o MUCH criticism, both fppant and caustic,
is visited upon the Weather Bureau whenever
- it makes mistake in forecasts that it is only
fair commendation should be given when by some
conspicuous act of useful service it demonstrates its
value to the community. Such service it has Just
rendered in giving warning to the orange growers
of the coming of the cold snap, thus enabling them
to prepare in time for guarding far as possible
against injury by frosts.
1t is yet too early to venture upon estimates of
the of damage done by frosts or to calculate
how much was saved in the orchards where the
growers smudged resorted to other devices to
keep the temperature OF their orchards above the
danger point. Enough is known, however, to make
it certain that the loss in localities has been
very great and that it would have been greater but
for the warning sent by the Weather Bureau.
Taking all things into consideration there is
probably no department OF the public service in
which the Government renders so much benefit to
the people in proportion to its cost as the Weather
Bureau and the value of the service increases with
each succeeding year. 1t would be more valuable If
the people understood better how to profit by its
warnings For that reason it is to be desired that
some data will be gathered OF the results obtained
from the various of guarding against frost in
the present instance, so that the best method of
avoiding the danger in future may be made known
There is one reform needed in the bureau 1t
should have different nomenclature for use in de-
scribing California weather Dispatches from this
coast carry to the East announcements of Storms"
cold waves and other weather variations which
are misleading when construed according to Eastern
experience. What is called storm in California
would be accounted only general rain on the
other side of the Rockies, and our cold wave would
seem like spring weather. 1t is continual mis-
representation of California describe her weather
changes in the Technology of the East and it is
to be hoped that in the steady progress of improve
ment in the bureau it will eventually make reform

FREE TEXT BOOKS.

To the Editor of The Call: In Mon
days issue of your valuable paper is
given a vivid account of the distress of
the Van Buren, family, reduced to the
verge of starvation, the infant dying
and the bread-winner deprived of his
liberty to earn. In answer to the con-
Guiding sentence will you allow me to
say, Yes, there is such a thing as the
brotherhood of man, the unity of all
life. This should find expression not
alone in giving the necessaries of life to
this family, but in making business pos
sibilities such in our city that similar
cases would be impossible. Such cases
have become so numerous as to show
to the dullest mind that a radical
change is imperative if our free institu-
tions are to be sustained.
