The report Is not a good one, and indicates the development neces- sary by the new owner to put it on . paying basis.

Capital has been attracted to San
Francisco as never before. The
Quickened oriental commerce of
America, with commercial center
at San Francisco, has kept her
warehouses and wharves bristling
with activity. Manufactures, slim
ulated by the cheapness of petrole~
UNI oil as fuel. have developed
apace. Real estate values are
steadily increasing. Building &C.
tivity is greater than ever before.
Indeed the facts and figures rela-
tive to the past few years show
that it has been a steady growth
In keeping with her well-founded
prosperity,
1t is a significant fact, also. that
the commencement of the great co.
operative work of the California
Promotion committee and it's afiili-
ated 152 local development organi-
cations marks as well the begin
ming of the wonderful growth of
California, and especially of San
Francisco, and the growth of one
has gone on apace with the ex-
tension of the work of the other.
The 1862 local boards of trade and
chambers of commerce throughout
the state have geen brought into
harmony to work for the develop
ment of the whole state with the
California Promotion committee as
the state central organization. The
interests of one section of the state
are not furthered to the harm of
those of another, but all are a unit
In inducing desirable class of
settlers to locate In the sections
best suited to their various needs
and inclinations.
In 1900 the population of San
Francisco was $4,000, representing
an increase of $4,000 during the dec
ade 1890-l900. From estimates re-
ceived from various sources expert
statlsticians figure that San Fran.
cisco now has population of 1885,.
600. or an increase of 144, 900 in half
decade. At this rate, another half
year will see San Francisco pass
the half-million mark.
Activity in San Francisco real es-
tate during the first hal Of 1906
has surpassed all previous records
for like period. Up to June 80 the
number of sales was 4264. involv-
ing $2S,S55,95S, an increase of over
thfes millions over any previous
half year. From 1902 to 1904 in.

the rooms are finished in a costly

In the total of her bank clearings,
San Francisco shows her impregna-
Bile position as the metropolis of
the Pacific coast for they indicate
directly the enormous volume of
business transacted. During the 10
years, 1S90-1900, San Francisco's
bank cleTings increased $120, 000,-
600. From 1900 to 1904 they in.
creased S560,000,000, in only four
years. They exceed the annual to-
tai of all other Pacific coast cities
by more than 100000. The
clearing house figures for August,
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-10-12

during one year of nearly $22,000,-
900.
In the number and excellence of
her buildings lately completed or
now in course Of construction, San
Francisco's progress during the last
few years has been shown most
forcibly. Although building con-
tracts let in 1901 amounted to only
$6,000,000, in 1904 the total had
jumped to over $16,000,00O, a gain
of more than $10,O00,0OO in three
years, The most notable achieve
ment has been the completion Of
San Francisco's new postoffice and
courthouse building, massive and
stately structure of white granite,
costing $2.500,000 In the opinion
of experts this Is the best construct
ed public building in the United
States. OF especial splendor Is the
interior work, which in the beauty
and richness of the woods, marbles,
bronzes and mosaics lavished upon
it surpasses that of any other pub

1905, show an increase of more
than $32.0OO,0OO over August, 1904,
or at the rate of nearly $4,000, 900
per week.
That the Pacific coast is rapidly
forging ahead as the arena about
which the great export trade of the
United States will soon center is
shown by the remarkable growth Of
the export trade of San Francisco,
the principal port. In 1900 the ex.
ports from San Francisco were SAL
100000, while In 1904 they had in.
creased to $56, 660,0O But an even
more encouraging increase has
been shown the present year. For
the first eight months of 1905 the
exports to foreign countries show
an increase of $13,834,50O over the

In the carrying of this trade a

Then she eyed him rather curl
ously for few moments, as if she
missed some prominent landmark
on his visage.
Jack" she said at last, as if in
surprise, where's that ere mole of
yours gone to-"
Jim began to think that his
worthy predecessor must have been
the owner of various species of bur-
rowing creatures.
"Mole-mole-" he said, half hes.
itatingly, why he died. Got cold,
or cramp in his stummick, or some
thing of that kind"
Don't try your fairy tales on

Jim was in quandary. However,

he replied. Burned right off. Ye

factory making sulphuric acid. One
day some of the acid spurted. A
drop fell right on my mole. 1t

The woman looked at Jim as if
she half loved him for the dangers
he had passed.
After short pause, at last she
said: well, it's o'clock. You'd
better get off to bed and get good
nights rest"
Jim was just going to protest, but
she silenced him by telling him that
he must get under discipline"

Jim, as he took up the candle and

brain travail, evolved the following

ports, distributing the diversified
products of California throughout
the Pacific slope. In word, Sar
Francisco transacts two-thirds Of
all the import and one-half of al
the export business of the entire
Pacific coast.
Besides being the principal ship
ping port on the Pacific coast where
car and steamship meet to CO
operate in the foreign and coast
wise trade, San Francisco is the
central mart for the inland trade
Of California. CALIFORNIA; home
market and the countries lying of
the Pacific seaboard now afford 9
large demand for manufactured
goods and the new elements of me
chanical power, fuel oil and cleo
tricity, have placed San Francisco
upon an equal footing with the
most favored manufacturing cities
of the east. The problem of expens
i've fuel, which formerly confronted
manufacturers in San Francisco, is
being overcome, and the favorable
location of this city as a manufac.
turing center is evident from the

Francisco is manufacturing every.

tleship. Her shipbuilding industry
alone supports $4,000 people.
San Francisco is connected by
rail and water with the great cen
trail valleys of the state, which are
producers of raw materials of such
quantity and various nature as to
supply the factories of the city
with much that has to be imported
from abroad or from remote parts
of the country by other manufac.
turing cities. New England, for in.
stance, long famous for her manu-.
features, imports fully rs per cent
OF her raw materials and IS per
cent of her food stuffs. For all the
manufactures of wood CALIFORNIA;
own forests supply the lumber. The
state has within her borders two
great deposits of hemitite iron. San
Francisco. then. as the central mart
for these products, with abundant
and accessible sites for manufac
tories, and with transportation IA
cilities as good as ony location
could hope to present, is destined tc
forge ahead as the center of the
leading manufacturing section oi
the country.
San Francisco's well-founded and
substantial progress is borne ou,
by figures received from many com
mercial and industrial sources
which invariably substantiate this
growth. For example, urban and
suburban railways report heavier
traffic in proportion to the increas sc
in population. Incoming overland
passenger traffic has broken all
records during the past year. while
outgoing travel has been lighter
The latest returns from other ,,h
lie utilities. such as the telephone
