bankers, who expect to float these is-
sues will be obliged to use their influ-
ence to keep the market in as healthy
condition as possible in order to IA
cilitate the placing Of these issues. For
this reason, and the satisfactory out.
side situation. 1t seems useless to look
for any important decline in prices at
the present moment. 1t is more than
probable that strong efforts will be
made to give the market an appear
ance of activity and strength, especial
ly while SO many conditions favor.
Some rather striking efforts of this
character have been made during the
current week. Just now the public is
not in the market to any extent, and
the operations on certain days showed
powerful manipulation. The situation,
therefore. is one that favors an up
ward trend in values, with occasional
reactions"

FRIsco's DOCKING FACILITIES.

San Francisco, June 12.-Careful in
vestigation hass resulted in the an
nouncement by President Spear, of the
Board of State Harbor Commissioners
Of California, that the recent disaster
Of this city, when many millions ot
dollars worth of business property
foil before the flames, has not Interior
ed in the slightest degree with the
commercial facilities and commercial
efficiency Of the port Of San Francis
CO. The text of President Spears re-
port, which will be sent by the South
ern Pacific to every shipping and In
dustrial center in the world, to the end
that the world currents of trade may
not be interrupted or diverted from
their accustomed channels, Is as fol-

be presented with as much ease rs
before the fire of April 1S, 1906.

IMPROVING THE PARKS.

The people of Ottumwa will note
with considerable pleasure that the
vacant lot opposite the union depot,
donated to the city by the late P. G..
Ballfngall and known as the Ballingall
park, Is at last to be improved and
made into an attractive little park.
The Transforming Of the unsightly va
cant lot into shady, sodded, pretty
park will require some time, but it's
appearance will be greatly improved
before the end of the summer and the
now arrivals In the city and the thous-
ands Of people who pass through Of
tumwa on the Rock Island and Burling-
ton passenger trains will gain much
more favorable impression of the city
by reason Of the work which is to be
done under the supervision of the park
have occasion to visit the union depot
or pass along West Main street, as
well as everyone interested in civic
improvement, the announcement that
work is to begin on the new park at
once, is especially gratifying. Cement
walks are to be built, the alleys next
to the un.on depot and the brewing
company's wholesale house paved, the
ground we'll sodded and number of
flower beds arranged Ultimately a
fountain is to be installed and trees
will be planted along the Main street
side and throughout the park. In a
short time the park will be beautiful
little place and add much to the ap-
pearance Of the city.
For many years there was an I'M
slightly hole at the south end of the
Market street bridge. This has been
filled and recently number of trees
were planted and brick walks built
park It will take little time for ma
ture to complete the work begun by
the park commissioners, but in a few
years the trees will have attained good
size and the city will have another
pretty little park.
Nothing adds more to the appear
ance Of d city or is more welcome to
strangers than these little parks in the
heart of the city which are kept in
attractive condition. Every dollar judic.
iously used in the improving Of parks
or building new ones is money well ex.
pended. Ottunwa may not rank among
the first Iowa cities in the matter of
parks but has been making rapid i'm.
provement In this regard in the past
few years, since the parks were placed
under the control of board Of park
commissioners. Considering the limit
ed means at their disposal the trans
formation effected in the appearance OF
the parks of Ottumwa Is as remarkable
as it is commendable.

MEXICO As a SUMMER RESORT.

The climate of Mexico is little I'M
derstood by the people OF the United
States because that country is located
so far to the south that the, general
impression is that the climate there,
especially in summer time, Is ex-
ceedingly warm. This is untrue except
ing only on the very fringe of the coun-
try touching on the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific ocean. With this excep-
ton, nearly all of Mexico has most
delightful climate the year around.
The people of Mexico are especially
United States should compresend that
the Great Central Cable land of that
country has one Of the most delightful
summer climates in the world. The
publisher of the Courier, who visited
Mexico In February, is in receipt Of
the following telegram from Geo. w.
Hubbard. general passenger agent Of
the National Lines Of Mexico, indicat-
ing that whereas the heat has, during
the past week, been dangerously OPP
pressive in some cities in the United
States, that in Mexico City the tenn
perature has been delightful The tel
egram reads as follows:
Mexico City, June 8, 1906.
"The press dispatches report heat
prostrations in American cities yester-
day. In Mexico City the official report
showed 70 degrees as the maximum
in the sun, and 81 degrees in the
shade. Plenty more Of such days are
to come.
Geo W. Hubbard"
The fact is that the railroads of Mex
leo are making praiseworthy effort
to secure summer resort travel this
year from the southern portion of the
United States. Mexico has varied and
delightful climates to live in at any
season of the year.

Of their eight children, survives him.
He was an old settler OF Wapello
county, having come to Ottumwa in
1856 Later he removed to a farm east

Falls, S. Oak. Nine years ago he re-
turned to this city to make his home,
and here after months of suffering
from throat trouble, death came to re-
lease him from the pain he had borne
so patiently and SO uncomplainingly.
He was kind and loving husband
and father. was loved and respected
by all who knew him, and many
friends, both here and in his former
homes, will mourn that he is gone
from them. Rev. John HASTE had
charge Of the last sad rites and the
remains were laid in the Ottumwa
cemetery by the side of an INFANT
daughter, who preceded her father in
death many years ago. The six old

him to rest were George Nye, w. e.

THE DAYS BEST HOUR.

Fremont Tribune:-The one who
rises at or later these mornings loses
the glory Of the dawning day. The
disk of the sun cuts the horizon at half
past four, but even before that hour
nature has begun to prepare for the
grand overture that greets the king of
the day. The sable and evanscent cur
as the chorus begins The first note is
sounded by some feathered songster
high in the branches Of towering
tree. Then there Is twitter from an
other near by, and ere long the diapa-
son is full and the grand chorus is
swelling and reverberating from hill
to hill. A more enchanting symphony
than was ever conceived by Mozart or
Beethoven! The one who rises to hear
rance Of dew distilled in the chalices
Of the flowers and on trillion blades
of emerald grass. All the worlds a
stage and all the creatures Of God are
players, all save those who do not at :
tend the daily production of this
mighty oratorio. There is something
inspiring in mingling in the midst OF
such scene. This heralding Of day
in such regal fashion Is in accord with
that follows. A day of activities of a
world means a commingling Of tears
and smiles. Of disapointments and
achievements. Of creation and destruc-
ton, of rewards and punishments, of
Joy and sadness, of hope and despair,
Of success and failure, of birth and
death The spectator who stands in
the midst of the music with his soul
open to the impressivness Of the ma
jestic chorus is certain to be stirred to
the depths Of his nature. He is thrill
ed with the grandeur OF life. He Ia
inspired with the symphony that
swells and rolls from earth to sky. Cut
out your shores and try 1t once

business by sea or by land escaped
damage to the extent that there has
been and can be no interruption to the
vast traffic that centers here.
This fact, of great Significance to the
business of all parts Of the world
should be given publicity widely for
worldwide reasons.
The facilities for shipping at San
Francisco have been increased within
a few years. A new pierhead line has
been established by the Federal Gov
eminent, which has enabled the Board
of State Harbor Commissioners to
build wharves out to distance of 800
feet, instead of 800 feet, as formerly.
This concession Is Of much Importance
as it makes it possible to provide adj
ditiOnal wharf room In the central and
more convenient locations on the city
front.
A belt railroad runs along the front
and auxiliary ferry slips provide for
the prompt receipt and dispatch of
freight trains. The dry docks and ship
building and repairing plants Of the
port have large capacity Dredgers
operated by the state maintain suf-
flcient depth Of water for the approach
of the largest ocean steamships to the
wharves and docks. The state has
provided for the extension Of the sea
wall 5000 lineal feet, with projecting
wharves, which will largely add to the
existing accommodations.
The sum of 100000 has been ap-
propriated by the state and will be
expended for improvements and con-
tracts have been already let for new
work.
Some damage was caused to the
Ferry Building at the foot Of Market
street, San Francisco, by the earth
quake on April 18, and few sheds
were also injured. Neither of these
particulars has hurt the commerce q
