At the close Of the year ending December

Shipowners Concerned.
The following is an extract taken from
the last annual report Of the Board Of
state Haroor Commissioners: ''To in
sure the permanency of our commercial
prosperity the accommodations Of the
port must be of the best and as good "a
are afforded in any part of the world
PromptnesS and dispatch in the docking
of vessels and the handling of cargoes,
both inward and outward, is a matter OF
much concern to Ship-OWners and the
constgnees Of merchandise. Delays caused
by lack of port facilities are alike expen-
sive to ship-Owners and cOnsignees Of
cargo, and now with so many competitive
ports seeking trade, one against the
other, energy and prOgressiveness Ly
haTbor boards must be exercised"
Charts for the Navy.
The supply of cruising charts to the
navy or the United States is now made
up from three sources, so reports Lieu
tenant Commander G. G.. Calkins These
sources are as follows: photographic.
Office charts, which are publications OF
original surveys or modified TeDrOduc-
tions of sheets printed abroad; Coast Sur
Vey charts, covering the coasts and in

by law for the organization known as the
Coast and Geodetic Survey and attached
to the Treasury Department: British Ad-

Movement Of Tonnage.
San Francisco is now recording great
er tonnage movement In and out
Of the Golden Gate In the IN
terest Of commerce, foreign and
domestic, than ever before. For eleven
months the movement IS larger than for
the entire year of 1900, notwithstanding
that the strikes interfered to some ex-
tent for a period Of many weeks this year
with the free development Of commerce.
There being still an unexpired period OF
the present year, complete comparison
cannot well be made with exact accuracy,
other than for the year 1901 as against
other years. But, to illustrate the growth
of local shipping interests, the records Of
a few years preceding will do very well.

GETTING RICH.

The way to get rich, !" says an editor

That belongs to you, and to be the
friend OF no man and have no man for
your friend to heap interest, cent up

despised for some twenty or thirty
years and riches will come sure as dis

when nearly enough wealth is collected
