driveway that the citizens will be proud
of. The Merchants Association will
certainly not leave a stone unturned to
make this not only the Queen City of
the Golden State, but one that can fa-
vorably compare to any other in the
world.
Believing that San Francisco is just
beginning a decade of prosperity which
will astonish the people of our entire
. country, and being an enthusiastic be
lever in the idea that San Francisco is
destined to be the second largest city
in the United States, 1 believe that
when the new charter comes into oper-
alton our citizens should vote for not
less than $4,000 900 bonds to be used
in the immediate improvement of our
city.

the Pacific Ocean trade as New York
is the center of the Atlantic Ocean
trade. We can then develop city
second only to New York.
GEORGE LIEBES-The new charter
limits the borrowing capacity of the
city to fifteen (15) per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the property; con-
sequently the necessity of discreet and
systematic expenditures of all money
is apparent.
Before any municipal Improvement is
commenced it should be well consid-
cred as to the part it shall fill as to-
ward the completed whole If we have
no programme or plan to start with, we
are liable to find a most hodge-podge
arrangement at the completion of any
individual improvement, hence the first
necessity of our city is to decide upon
all the improvements needed, and then
to select that which is needed most, that
1t may be first accomplished.

to Market street and Van Ness avenue
and acquire the seven blocks north or
the park between Thirteenth and Four
teenth avenues, as already proposed by
the Mayor and Supervisors, at cost
perhaps of SO, 3,500 600.
Third-Construct new school build
ings and put those now built in a good
and sanitary condition; allow about
s750000.
Fourth-Condemn the lands owned by
the Sutro estate which are planted in
trees, commencing just south or the At
filiated Colleges and extending to In
gleside. Construct roads and maintain
the property as a forest park. / pre-
sumo the area would be about 800 acres
and imagine the value would not exceed
S1,500O00.
Fifth-Construct one main sewer
from Ocean View to the bay, to drain
about 1000 acres, at cost of about
$400,00O
Sixth-Establish a municipal lighting
plant, as proposed by the Supervisors.
This probably would not involve an
outlay of more than 100000. Making a
total Of about S7,500.0O0.

favor the reelection Of all who now
hold Offices II they perform their duties
during the present year satisfactorily.
My reasons are:
First-That duty well performed
should always be appreciated and re-
warded by reelection.
Second-That the experience gained
during the present term is of value to
the city and will enable them to give
better service than inexperienced men
could do.
Third-That such officers are entitled
to preference since the charter will cut
short the term for which they were
elected last fall.
Outside of this and particularly for
the new offices such as Board of Public
Works and Civil Service Commission,
I favor selection of perfectly compe-
tent, honest and reliable men without
regard to politics, as one of the prin-
cipal purposes Of the new charter Is to
take the municipal government out Of
party politics and thereby secure us a

affairs of our city.

Such platform, together with the

as they can be financially and practi-

MARSHAL HALEThe Merchants
Association Of San Francisco has done
a great deal toward developing our city.
1t has aided the city government in
many ways. But there is a greater
field for us. The Merchants Associa-
tions of New York and Chicago have
reached out to bring trade to their re-
spective cities. The future development
of the Hawaiian Islands and the Philip
pines will open great possibilities
whether we hold our new possessions
or not. If we can turn the tide of trade
toward San Francisco and develop the
commerce Of the Pacific Ocean with the
United States through the Golden Gate
we will accomplish a great thing. Let
us make San Francisco the center OF

preparation for and careful execution
in the charter. This feature, more than
anything else in it, will bring about
a pure, effective municipal administra-
ton.
1 advise that the Merchants Associa-
tion appoint committees Of competent
men, familiar with our conditions and
surroundings, to study the material
wants of our city, to meet together and
discuss the recommendations of the
separate committees and then prepare
a municipal programme as to sewers,
streets, hospitals, public buildings,
schools, fire and other protection and
other public necessities, figuring up
probable cost, estimate our resources
and income, and what can be covered
by taxation or what should be paid for
by bonding, and thus prepare an eco,

Undergo Alterations That Are
Necessary to Be Made.

Necessary plans are being made for
charging the soldiers home in Wash
ingtcn, the enlargement being made
imperative by the great number of reg
ulars who were incapacitated during
The recent war with Spain. The home
IS supported by contributions from the
army itself, a small sum being deducted
each month from the pay of every man
in the regular army.
Since the close of the campaign in
Cuba and Porto Rico it has been found
the present buildings are. entirely too
small to accommodate all who apply.
and this is especially true of the hos
pital. The governors of the home have
decided to increase the hospital facili-
ties 50 per cent, and two large wings
are to lie added to the main buildings.
Contracts to carry cut this work are
now being let, and the hospital will
be supplied with all appliances for
modern surgery. Numerous applica-
tons for admissions to the home will
necessarily follow the closing of the
campaign in the Philippines.

Charcoal for the Hogs.

Unquestionably charcoal is valuable
hygienic agent for pigs. It is cor
receive and certainly prevents some dis
eases arising from disordered digestive
functions. Wood ashes acts similarly,
or at least ministers to similar wants.
Both charcoal and ashes are freely used
by our best swine growers. There is Nc
need to fix quantities. The best way is
to keep both substances within reach of
the pigs and allow them to consult their
own tastes and needs. If you use COM
merclal charcoal throw half q sack at
time in a clean, dry corner and re-
place when used up. All the wood ashes
from the house fire can be used in the
same way-Prairie.F Farmer.
