OREGON FLOUR FOR ASIA,
The Russian Government Places
a Large Order on This
Coast.
American Ship Snow & Burgess Sails
for Vladivostock With
Large Cargo

California mer chants have lost another
heat in the race of competition, and one
OF the largest orders for -four for the
foreign trade that have been sent to
America in long time has gone to
Oregon.
An agent of the Russian Government
recently came to this coast to purchase
supplies Tor the large body OF troops that
the Gar maintains in Eastern siberia,
and applied first to San Francisco mer-
chants. For some reason, presumably
because prices did not suit he did not
place the order here, but proceeded 10
Portland, where he ooug mt a large quantity
OF the material for manufacturing the
staff of lie.
1t is understood that the amount pur-
chased will require several ships to land IL
at its destination. The American snip
Snow & Burgess, which recently brought
cargo of coal from Newcastle, New
South Wales, was the first ship chartered
to carry the flour, and she will sail shortly
with Sc, 900 fifty-pound bags of flour and
large quantity Of potatoes, also bought In
Oregon.
The Snow & Burgess destination is
Vladivostock, the eastern terminus OF the
great Trans Siberian Railway, the con-
struction of which is viewed with so much
alarm by Russia's rivals in the Orient.
Vladivostock is also Russla's naval
headquarters on the Pacific and 1t Is ex-
pected that large market for American
goods will develop there.
It bears the same relation to Russia

I mortal is in the hands of the secretary and
l would move that this memorial as read
be the sense of this meeting"
The memorial IN question, which is in
the shape of a communication to the Sen
ate and House of Representatives signed
by the presidents of the six organizations
cooperating to promote the speedy con-
struction of the Postoffice, was thereupon
read by the secretary as reproduced here
with.
What is your pleasure, gentlemen ?"
sked the chairman, when the document
had been read.
Mr.. Sonntag moved the adoption OF the
memorial, which was done unanimously.
Mr.. Greenebaum suggested that it would
be well TO make the Builders Exchange
resolution part of the memorial, but the
secretary, Mr.. Lewis, explained that the
| former was merely designed for presenta-
ton at the present meeting as an express
sion OF opinion, and the chairman pointed
out that that body had already officially
indorsed the memorial.
Mr.. Filcher said: These resolutions
are all right in themselves; they are good
and to the point as far as they go, but
they could be strengthened by some sup
Elementary action. They stand now SIM
ply in the form of memorial to Con-
gress, but the parties we HAYS to spull on,
as the saying is, are our own representa-
tives and the Secretary of the Treasury.
| In the first instance we should try to Sc
cure for immediate use the $240. 900 which
is available from the appropriation made
some years ago by Congress for the pur-
chase of size, which can be done through
the Treasury Department.
'In order to insure prompt,action in this
respect we must work on the depar lent
through our epresentatives. l contend
that this is matter in which every repre-
sentative from California can work in har-
mony and with enthusiasm. They can be

ton to the resolution which will be pre-
sen ted to-day.
II shall not take up more of your time,
but ask the secretary to read a comm uni
cation which has just been handed to
him.
The secretary then read the following
resolution received from the Builders
Exchange:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March l, 1897.
WHEREAS, The City of San Francisco has
long been in need of postoffice building
suited TO the demands of City of her class,
we having many years ago outgrown the
capacity of our present antiquated quarters;
and whereas, large amount OF money has
been expended in the purchase of lot now
lying idle, and the necessary plans prepared;
and whereas, the commencement of the work
at this time would be great benefit to the
State at large, and also give great relief to the
labor market in its present depressed condi-
ton; therefore be it
Resotued, That we, the board of directors Of
the Builders Exchange of San Francisco,
heartily and earnestly join with the various
mercantile and industrial organizations of
this City in urging our representatives in
Congress to use their best endeavors toward
the early commencement of the work. and
eiso to urge at the special session OF Congress
an appropriation of money sufficient to enable
the continuous prosecution of the work.
RESOLVED, That these reso outions be spread in
| full upon the minutes of the board and a copy
| be sent 10 the joint meeting of industrial and
commercial bodies to be held at the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday
March 4, 1897. By order of the board
OSCAR LEWIS, President.
JAMES A. WILSON, Secret tary.
Mr.. Greenebaum suggested that the
foregoing should be laid upon the table
until the remaining resolutions had been
read.
"There is memorial" said Julian
Sonntag, (which has been indorsed by the
presidents OF six of the commercial and
industrial organizations of this City and
also of the city of Oakland. This me-
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-05

On the motion of Julian Sonntag, Hugh
Craig was elected to fill that position and
Oscar Lewis was appointed secretary.
sYou are doubtless familiar, gentle
men," said the chairman, with the OBJ
ject of this meeting and l am sure you
will agree with me that the people of San
Francisco cannot be accused ofimpatience
when they impress upon the authorities
at Washington the Immediate necessity
for some attention being paid to our re-
quirements in this matter of q new Fed.
eral building. You will find that other
cities in the State of California with
much smaller population have public edi-
fees which are at once a credit to the Fed
eral Government and to the cities them
selves. In Los Angeles, not satisfied with
what they have already obtained-which
was only done by all pulling together
with long and q strong pull-they are
even insisting that the present Federal
building shall be removed from where il
is and larger one provided for their in
creased business 1t is fact also that we
have contributed TO the Federal treasury
in the way of customs dues, ETC., a large
sum of money averaging ST. 500 600 year,
and in return for all this appropriations
have been doled out to US in the most
parsim onious manner, and we have had to
fight with each delegation for every con-
trIbution received.
1T cannot Justly be said that we have
not given sufficient to the treasury to war
rant them in making this small return.
Strangers coming to our City are aston
ished at the inadequate provision made
for the convenience of the public with
reference to postal matters, to say nothing
of the other requirements of the country.
To take visitors down to an almost
abandoned part of the City and show them
our misera bic Postoffice is something we
are ashamed OF. 1t seems now. therefore,
the proper time to impress upon our dele
