Il found San Francisco to be live,
bustling city. They told me that up
to the breaking out of the Spanish
war, the city had been at standstill
for many years; but since the annex
alton of Hawaii and the Philippines

They don | depend upon rain there for
anything. All the crops are grown
with river water, and it looks like
these farmers can do anything they
want to do. But notwith hstanding it

try as we have They have done prao-
tically nothing that We are unable to
do, and [ believe the time is coming
when we will be able to show those
people great deal more than they are
now able to show US. If this time
does not come it will be our own fault.
1t will be because We are unwilling to
put forth the necessary energy ard
intclligcncc-certainly not because
we have not got greater things in easy
reach.
