are we'll illustrated by. the career:of John Green
Brady, who was recently appointed and con-
firmed Governor of Alaska. He was born in
this city and in what is now called the Tender
Ioin district. He knew neither parents Lor
relatives and was a veritab.e street Ara In
1860 society was organized to care for home
less waits and little "Jack" Brady, with
number of others, was put in a car and taken
to Indiana where they were given TO anybody
who wou d take them. When the car arrived

The Judge was at first inclined TO re use TO re-

was sent 10 Alask in 1877 as a missionary by
the Presbyterian church. He became inter

GREATER BALBOA AVENUE.

The people of San Francisco, as well as
those of San Mateo and Santa Clara
counties, are thoroughly interested in
the future progress of Balboa avenue.
Thus far only this City is directly bene-
flied By the splendid, broad driveway from
Golden Gate Park to tine sea; but this is
only the beginning of a magnificent
scheme that will bring three counties
into closer social relations, and make a
driveway for fifty miles along the bay that
will be veritable thing of beauty and a
Joy forever
Therefore, we shall watch with high
anticipation the new work of extending
Balboa avenue TO the county line. When
this is done, as it certainly will be in the
near future, il our City is alive TO its in
terests the first link in the chain will be
complete. Then San Mateo will take IN
the work and build t. road on through
Santa Clara divide. whence it will speed
lily be extended through the charming
Santa Clara Valley to the Garden City.
Shade trees and stately homes VIII rise
along the paved avenue all the way from
San Jose to where the majestic ocean
drives his White-necked chargers forever
in his vain attempt to cross our City's
fringe OF golden sand. Such driveway.
such an avenue, will benefit all three
counties in every way, fac liIating trade
and augmentlng pleasure travel By all
means let us have without any long delay
the Greater Balboa avenue.

STATE OF TRADE.

Indications that trade Is improving are
multiplying. Heretofore most of the i'm
provement reported has come from the
East. but the signs are now evident at
our very doors. Curiously, they are not
reported exclusively by merchants. True,
there is an increase of trade, but it is in
outside quarters, not in the central chan
nels.
We are getting the first signs OF the
coming wave from the rural districts.
We are told that the summer resorts are
unusually W Ill patronizad this year. In
fact, some of them are full to oveTtlowinG.
The camping spots, too, are filled. 1t was
different last year and the year before.
The dry-goods dealers nave observed this,
and report good demand for light sum-
mer fabrics such as are usually worn by
City folks during the summer season.
The railroads also report larger passen-
ger traffic to the suburban resorts.
Now, If there be any sign of good times
surely this must be one. While summer
outings arc sometimes economies for the
rich, they are generally lu1uries for the
ordinary asses. No enterpr-s Sc feels hard
times quicker than the summer resort, as
has been amply proved during the past
three or four years. If this is the case the
reverse must also be true.
The improvement is also noticeable in
stabler lines. There is the fruit trsoe
for instance. Fruit is bringing pretty
good prices this year. Thus far there has
been no glut All that comes in sells.
The hay farmer. too, has been lately
gratifed by an advance in nay, something
almost unprecedented at this time OF the
year, when the new crop is coming for
ward. 1t is generally the other way.
Then there is the provision market
which is active and advancing. Wool, 100,
is firmly held and buoyant, and buyers
have TO pay full figures if they purchase.
Last, but not least, country lands seem
10 be looking up. A certain demand for
small farms is reported by the real-estate
agents. A year or two ago all country
lands went begging. Now a handy farm
is salable. The buyers are people looking
for homes and moneyed men, who believe
that country real estate is as cheap as it
ever will be, and who, therefore, consider
it good time TO buy. As for the mining
business, that was never in better shape
than it is to-day.
sky is full of cheerful portents. The ad-
vance agent of prosperity is doing exactly
what he told us he would do last fall; but
this is only the beginning. There will be
still better times later on. The tide is
rising slowly, but it is rising surely. In a
few months more the wreck and desola-
ton and hard times OF a loW-tariff De-
mocracy will be a reminiscence.
The increase in manufacturing in the
East, already noted, continues. Mills
long idle are starting up everywhere. This
is no boom, but a steady expansion of
trade. It's chief merit lies in its slowness
If il were moro rapid it might be sus-
picious; but it grows gradually and has
evidently come TO stay.
The foreign trade balance still runs in
our favor. During the first eleven months
of 1897 ports into the United States de-
creased $44 0CO 600. and the exports in
creased $751; 900, 900. This showing ought
to be good enough to suit the most
chronic growler.
