The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-02-01

|ITH view to enlarg-
NM ing and improving its
news service from
Washington The Call
has sent to the capital of the
nation Mr.. S. W. Wall, a WELL
known, trained and reliable
newspaper writer, who Will i'm
future have charge of The Calls
news bureau in that city, with
headquarters at the Hotel Bar
ton. Mr.. Wall has for a score
of years been a resident of Pa
cific Coast States, and is there
fore competent to keep the peo-
pie of the Far West advised i'm
all matters that have bearing on
mercantile, agricultural and
mining interests. He will de-
vote attention especiaDt to news
of department matters and of
legislation affecting the States
and Territories of the Pacific
slope.
Mr.. Wall is lucid and force
full writer and one of the best of
the newspaper correspondents of
this country. His first achieve
ments in the field of journalism,
when he was one of the staff of
the Pittsburg Dispatch, brought
him into prominence, and his
fame was further accentuated
i'm later years when he accom-
panied the late George Francis
Train in the latter's first record
breaking trip from Puget Sound
around the world. His latest
conspicuous effort was his trip
to the klondil<e i'm 1897 as spe-
cial correspondent for The Call.
1t was the first year of the great
Alaskan gold field excitement,
and when the correspondents,
who had been sent to Dawson
via Boring Sea, reached the Yu-
kcn, they found the river closed
to steamer navigation. The COR
respondents, excepting Wall,
turned back, fearing to risk the
rigors of an Arctic winter. Wall
was undaunted. He purchased
rowboat, hired guides and
pOIed up the turbid Yukon. 1t
took many days and the endur-
ing of severe hardshlps to ac-
complish the task, but Wall got
to Dawson just as the river
turned to ice. He was the only
ono of the newspaper corre-
spondcnts who succeeded i'm his
mission.

Chapman Declares
Fruit Will Be
Profitable.
BY y. p. Chapman, President State
Board of Trade.


Will fruit growing continue to be
profitable in California? . Is there pres
ent danger of overproducti6n? Should
fruit tree planting cease? These are
important questions and should be fair
ly met.
In all the valley regions, from Shasta
to San Diego County, pne of the chief
inducements, if not the paramount in
ducement,s held out TO intending settlers
on small tracts of land has. been and
still is that fruit growing, intelligently
pursued, offers the highest known re-
wards of the soil, and il is generally be-
lieved that this industry alone fully
justifies the efforts being made to bring
homemakers to the State. There are
other profitable uses (which a portion
OF the twenty or forty acre farm MA y
be put, but If. we cut out fruit growing
entirely what shall we substitute that
offers. better returns than fruit or that
may not soon come under the ban of
oVerproduction?
At the recent convention of the fruit
growers of the State, held atsFresno, it
was resolved, with but one negative
vote, that the fruit growing industry
of California is in prosperous and sat-
isfactoTy condition" The REPORTS there

To the intending settler in California
1 unhesitatingly say CONF and join the
noble army OF fruit growers and be not

A Good Record.

Joseph Canutt. the republican
sheriff of Whitman county, has
certainly made record during his
present term that any sheriff might
we'll feel proud of. Aside from run
ming his office at an expense of
$767.90 less than the appropriation
made by the county commissioners,
Mr.. Canutt has arrested more than
$50 persons during the 10 months
of his incumbency. He has taken
10 persons to the penitentiary and
and has collected over $500 in
fines from persons convicted of run
ming "bootlegging joints" keeping
open saloon on Sunday, selling
liquor to minors, and kindred of
lenses. There are still eleven GRIM
inal cases on the docket.
When that record is compared
with the term of J. B. Mackay, the
democratic sheriff, there are abso.
lutely no words to express the diff
ference. During his term Mr..
Mackay arrested 147 persons and
took six to the penitentiary. There
have been no felony convictions in
the superior court the past two
years, the records showing that the
persons sentenced to the peniten-
tiary all plead guilty, as the result
of the evidence secured against
by the sheriff's office. Several of
the six which Mr.. Mackay took to
the pen were convicted in open
court by evidence secured by the
prosecuting attorneys office. Joe
Davis, the democratic nominee for
sheriff, was the riding deputy under
J. B. Mackay.
Two years ago Mr.. Canutt prom
ised the people of Whitman county
that he would enforce the law as he
found it; that he would close gam
bling in Whitman county, stop the
selling of liquor to minors and
close the saloons on Sunday. He
has kept his promise and kept it

The End.
First Briton in India.
From the A;henaum.

From the Athen1um.
The first Englishman who is known for
certain to have gone out to India was,
according to a recent correspondent in an
Indian paper, a certain Thomas Stephens,
a member of a wellto-do Wiltshire fam
lily and an OXonian, who landed some
where near Goa about the year 1870, and
spent forty years in Jesuit missionary
work in Goa and the neighborhood. Ste
phens not only succeeded in mastering
Marathi and konkan, which were the
languages spoken by the majority of the
people on the west coast, but left behind
him, among other works in Marathi of
literary merit, the "Purana," an epic; and
it is In his capacity as the author of this
that Stephens name Isl best nown among
the west coast inhabitants.
The poem contains e9er 1000 strophes
of four lines each. 1t narrates, in a lofty
style, the events that led up to the estab-
lishment of the Christian religion, and
from the Creation to the Ascension of our
Lord, who figures as the hero of the epic
