RHODES In SAN FRANCISCO
Continued from page one.)

Alameda are the stated meeting time
for the Hawaiian Colony in san Fran
cisco.
The evidence that San Francisco has
grown and is growing rapidly is mani
fest before the steamship reaches the
wharf. Every move one makes about
the city confirms and multiplies this
evidence. New building of every des-
cription are going up and in every part
of the city, new and modern buildings
are taking the place of old ones. And
even where the old buildings remain
they are kept in better repair, and
cleaner. Plate glass windows have
revolutionized the appearance of many
an old building, as well as increased
the owners rent roll. The streets in
the business part of town are better
kept than they used to be, and there is
an air both of keen business activity
and of municipal strenuousness. The
city looks well groomed-at least in
comparison.
In consonance with these changes for
the better is a feature that is just be-
ginning to be a feature This is the
system of what are called safety sta
tions" along Market street. These are
places along the Market street railway
tracks walled off from the rest of the
street where persons can stand await
ing a street car in safety from the pro-
cessions of automobiles and horse vehi-
cles that jangle and speed along on
either side of the track. These safety
stations" are really a most excellent
thing Those built so far have been
provided by public spirited citizens. But
doubtless their demonstrated utility
will lead to their being constructed
from public funds in the future.
Another street feature that attracts
the eye of the stranger quite as quickly
as the safety stations the the boy
colt sandwich men," On the street in
front of various places of business that
have incurred the hostility of the labor
unions are sandwich men" wearing
placards urging people not to patronize
the boycotted establishments. When
one sees them for the first time, it gives
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-07-15

one something of a start. But the
general public seems to have grown so
accustomed to them that they attract
little attention, and in some cases the
boycotted establishments actually make
the Sandwich men" figure in their ad-
vertisements.
Golden Gate Park and the museum
there and in fact all the public insti-
tutions that administer to public plea,
sure or municipal adornment, have
greatly developed and improved. The
Cliff House and Sutro Heights which
used to be the great show places of the
town seem to have fallen in public es-
timation, at least as things to boast Of.
l went to the Cliff House the other day.
There were the same slot machines to
tell you your weight, height and for
tune that there were six or seven years
ago; the same great organ operated by
the device of n coin, and out of order
as it used to be. There were the same
souvenirs Of the Cliff House" for sale
at the same old prices; the same pic
lures on the wall one might imagine
that time stood still at the Cliff House,
except that it is a little dirtier than it
used to be- a little richer in lhe stains
of expectorated tobacco Juice.
The truth is San Francisco has out
grown the Cliff House and Sutro
Heights period. The Cliff House is no
longer "the resort" 1t is simply one
of many resorts appealing to the wide
gamut of tastes and pocket books to be
found in a big city. while the garden
ing in Golden Gate Park and the excel
lent work of statuary art which public
and private liberality have erected
the city make Sutro Heights
with it's job lot statuary look so shabby
and in bad taste that the most untutor-
ed cannot fail 10 notice it.
In one thing San Francisco has not
changed, or at least not perceptibly. 1t
can still boast the finest assortment of
antique silk hats of any city in Ameri-
ca. Nowhere else are there so many
men who cling to silk hats of vintage
and fashion antedating in many cases
the Comstock excitement.

Judge Parker will deliver few, if any.
Senator Fairbanks will be the leading

ing been helped by war scare which
produced an opposite effect on stocks.
The returns on wheat in the southwest
have stimulated business in that part
of the country. Collections in the st.
Louis district have far exceeded those
of last year.
The first symptom of discouragement
that has been shown at Kansas City
is apparent this week in reports OF
slack condition of trade in most lines.
Chicago retailers are said to be more
pessimistic than they ought to be IA
view of actual events. The packing
house strike casts shadow over trade
there. even with advance orders for
clothing, mems furnishing. shoes, and
wearing apparel quite satisfactory.
Indianapolis indicates some improve
ment i'm dry goods and shoes, though
with hardware behind last year. The
most gratifying trade statements of all
are those from Pittsburg. This is due
TO the improvement that has come
about in the iron and steel trade. The
tone in this basic trade is certainly
much better than it has been in year.
and sharp revival in it is not improb-
able after election.
There has been good growing wealth
er for the crops which are approaching
harvest under continued improved con-
ditions. In the spring wheat sections
of the northwest some rust has been
discovered which will reduce the yield.
Harvesting is in progress in nearly
all of the leading winter wheat States,
and the results are better than farm
ers thought they would be two weeks
ago. 1t is beginning to be believed,
though, that the total yield will leave
small exportable surplus, and that
the price of wheat and -four during the
next twelve months will be high.

Ways During First Six Months.
The death roll from various accidental
causes during the first half of the current
year has reached alarming proportions.
Although the Iroquois Theater fire at
Chicago occurred three days prior to the
beginning of the new year, it is reckoned
with the Slocum horror and the sinking

were numerous deaths from causes far
less common than those mentioned.
From abroad. where So many of our
wealthy people go to spend the vacation
