want BIe Leaeue TeaIl.

A prominent lover of baseball said this morning that there was going to be made an effort to get one of the big League baseball teams to come to Selma next year to do their spring training. Several of the big League teams he said had not yet selected a training place and he thought that pos sfbly one of these teams could be brought here without very much trou- ble.
 While the bringing of one of the big baseball teams to Selma to do their spring training would do no one very much good except the hotels, It would still be the means of advertising the city to a certain extent. No doubt by spring Selma will also have a team here training which will very likely represent the city in the Cotton States League or at least 1t is now believed she will. If such is the case and one of the big league teams can be se- cured the expenses of the spring train? ing trip could be easily paid from the receipts at the exhibition games.

POPULATION: HISTORY
Indian Mission Was Estab- liShed at San Francisco
 As Early as 1776.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY
 FINEST IN WORLD.

San Francisco's population has been heavily increasing for many years. As long ago as 1900 it was approximately 350, 900. and of that number one-third were of foreign birth. Of the latter more than 35,000 were Germans and more than 1S.0O0 Irish. In 1890 there were more than 25,0O0 Chinese in 'Frisco's Chinatown, but rigorous ex- clusion laws have reduced that num- Der to something less than 15.0O0. Many thousand Japanese make that city their home. but they do not segre- gate as do the Chinese. The Italians number something less than 10000.
 Although in population the city did not pass the 50.000 mark until 1860, Frisco is really old as a settlement. Palou and Cambon. two Franciscan monks. established an Indian mission there as long ago as l77G. They called it the San Francisco de Asisi, the name San Francisco having been given to the bay in 1869. About this mission sprung a village called Dol ores after the Mexicans secured con trol of California in 1922. The mis- sion itself prospered until 1884, when it was secularized. Tn 1886 a village called Yerba Buena was founded three miles north of the mission site. and this was Tebaptised San Francisco when the Americans took control twelve years later. When gold was discovered in 1S4S there vas a great rush west. and in '49 Frisco had population of 10000 people.
 San Francisco bay, which is ac- counted one of the finest harbors in the world, gives the city it's chief importance. The area of the harbor is 450 square miles. Its width varies from five to twelve miles, and it is navigable for fifty miles from its sin gle entrance, the beautiful Golden Gate, which is itself a mile in width.
 An active coastwise commerce is carried on with Alaska, Puget Sound and Southern California, while of vast magnitude is the business of the great steamship lines between China, Japan, Australia, Hawaii, the Philippines and Mexico. Lately the comierce be- tween Frisco and the Philippines has been something enormous. In 1902 the imports of tea alone from China and Japan amounted 10 almost 6,000,- 0G0 pounds. Something of the magni- tude of 'Frlsco's trade can be compre- hended in the fact that the bank clear ings Of the city for 1902 were nearly a billion and a half.

MANY INSURANCE COS.
 WILL BE FORCED UNDER.
B. J. GREELEY, INSURANCE ACT, ESTIMATES THAT PROFITS
 OF 20 YEARS ARE GONE.

B. J. O'Reilly, a local fire insurance agent of the city, was seen at his of flee last evening and asked for ! state ment regarding the big insurance companies doing business in the Col den Gate city. Mir. O'Reilly stated that from present information he be- lleves that several of the smaller in- sdTance companies doing business on the Pacific Coast will be forced out of business asa result of the terrible catastrophe,
 There Is in existence in San Fran cisco the enormous sum of s356. .z29, : O62 worth of insurance carried by thirty or forty companies" said Mir. OReilly. Of this number, the Fire
 mans Fund Company comes first, with a total of more than s27,000, ,000 Other large companies who will be heavy losers as a result of the fire will Dc the Hartford, London Assur- ance, Palatine, Alliance Insurance Company, Atlas Insurance Company and the Aetna.
 From present accounts, the big fire in San Francisco will wipe out the profits derived by the insurance companies from San Francisco busi- ness for the past twenty years. I make this estimate on the basis that the Fireman's Fund has received oI an average of fifty thousand dollars annually in premiums for the past twenty years, which would represent a million dollars. If the losses today equal this amount. and there is no doubt now but what the losses for this one company alone will exced this sum, u1enty years business in that city will be wiped out"
 Leslie H. Lord. an insurance agent who was in Bisbee yesterday, left for San Francisco immediately upon hearing of the fire.
