HERE Is A CITIZEN WHO Is EAGER
TO SEE THE CITY PROGRESS.
We Must Suppress Gambling and Prize Fighting He Says
Control Pacific Commerce, Have Lower Freight
Rates, and Advertise Our Glorious Climate.

Eastern capital invested in our city and
territory. Mines, fruit farms, ranches.
etc, could be Incorporated and stock
sold in the East with headquarters
here. Do we grasp the situation? The
innocent and wise prefer to buy full
paid and worcestershire stock. 1t is
easier to sell. Less chance for dis
pute. Tonopah and Goldheld are in
their infancy. Those mining companies
should incorporate, with offices and
headquarters here Our papers report
5000 each from Chicago and st. Louis
leave for Nevada in few days. Why
not draw most Of them to our city?
Most of these will be supplied with
considerable money.
No city can build up a profitable in
land commerce with high freight rates.
The idea of taxing a commodity for all
it will stand should cease. They say
the freight on lumber from Portland,
Oregon, to Los Angeles is the same as
Northern California points. Why sacri-
flee our industries to benefit other
States? We are now and have been
absorbed by the railroad octopus.
Packing (beef and pork and manufac-
turing industries should be encouraged.
Redwood coffins if only advertised
ShOulQ prove rapid sellers. A coffin
that never rots should sell like hot
cakes. If our city and State would use
some of the money diverted to the
boodlers' pockets) into advertising her
many resources, outside capital would
develop our undeveloped resources
Most Fasteners who winter in Cali
fornia are strong and healthy. conse-
quently our climate should draw them
If advertised like Southern California
Any climate within a radius of 100
miles of San Francisco Is applicable to
weak or strong. A new city of 1OO,O
near the bay for health seekers would
advertised. Our summer winds and
winter fOgs are unfavorable for ex-
treme cases of consumption and such
like, but few miles from the bay are
equal to the climate so much adver-
tised by the southern part of the State.
A united press Is what our city needs.
We may criticize Chicago's windy
press, nevertheless 1t has made Chicago
what 1T now is Chicago is the nucleus
OF the central States San Francisco
should be likewise of the Pacific States
Break up the large ranches so our city
can supply 5,000,000 people. We have
sufficient room for this number ard il
can be brought about by making the
average price per acre so low as to
induce all classes to buy. Some people
think but never act. Let those who
read this both think and act

GOOD MATCHMAKER.
IS OLD WINTER.
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

~ INTER is not generally re-
garded as either a planting
wv or a harvest time OF ro-
nance. Spring is supposed
to inspire the youthful fancy to
thoughts of love. The summer girl
has the reputation Of excelling Cupid
as a marksman. Autumn is the sea-
son of husking bees and red ears and
the aftermath OF summers counting.
In the lovers year book winter has
nothing to recommend 1t except the
mistletoe.
Yet winter carries with 1t the idea OF
domesticity, hearth fires, long even
ings and tete-a-tetes in cozy cor
ners-of the charm Of rosy cheeks and
eyes that sparkle, of light laughter
over frozen waters under moonlit skies.
'Tis the appropriate season for bach
elor dreams of the girls who said No"
and the girls who might have said
Yes" had they had half chance. 1t
is the time of year when love-lorn
maidens curl up comfortably in easy
chairs and MUNICH chocolate bonbons
while they write to their sweethearts
how miserably lonely they are.
Winter is a matchmaker after its
own way. He is like one of those blus-
tering old bachelors who look as IL
their hearts were frozen, but who are
always taking the trouble to throw ELI
gible young people together.
To me winter is time Of dreaming.
But 1T Is the outdoor world that sets
my fancy to leaping over barriers of
fact" and not the fireside corner-per

with my feet upon the fender and a
pipe between my fingers for good fell
lowship. Besides, 1 have a gas-log,
and therefore am not able, like Ike
Marvel to moralize over visions awak-
ened by a wood or coal fire. And here,

To the Editor of the Call
We who reside in San Francisco
fail to /realize the many opportu-
mites for the future development
of our city. If the same energy
used in developing Chicago were
used here. our city would have a popu-
lation of one million people. When
gambling, lotteries. prize ffgntrng and
like forces are the ruling power in
community it retards progress. If the
same amount of money absorbed by
this element was put into homes, real
estate, and other channels or c1rcula-
ton it would enrich the city from three
to five hundred thousand dollars a
month. The young mind which is at
tracted to gambling, drinking and the
like, soon loses interest in the COM
mercial welfare of the city. We gaze
upon the monster absorbing the mind
and vitality of our young men and
women, and offer slight resistance.

Plans for the future should be our
watchward. The Panama Canal will
be completed in few years. 1t means
much to us and in the meantime We
should take advantage of present op-
portunities. This should be head
quarters for the manufacture and sale
of all undeveloped products of our
Pacific possessions. If we do not plan
accordingly, New York and Chicago
will seek to control the same upon COM
pletion of the canal. If the head
quarters are here and business estab-
lished before that time we shall control
the commerce of our Pacific posses
sions. 1t means millions to our city.
Our Legislature does very little for
the city or State. If it had our
interests at heart it would study the
needs of the State and pass laws ac-
cordingly. An Eastern or home In
vestor is reluctant to invest in assess
able stocks. If our laws allowed us to
incorporate and issue full paid and
non- assessable stock we would be head
quarters for mining and industrial
companies for the Western States and

Prof. Brieger, of the Berlin Medical
