are self evident to the casual observ-
er and that bear on the continued and

In behalf of The Chamber of Com.
merce of San Francisco, l wish to give
assurance that commercial men who
cast in their lot with this city will not
go wrong. The opportunities for sue
cessful enterprises are many. We
have shipyards, docks, wharves
freight handling facilities, cheap fuel
oil in endless quantities, a genial eli
mate, an enterpTisng and dauntless

our future greatness. The earth
quake of April 18th, 1906, did not in
jure our commerce or our industries.
The fire did not curtail our resources.
Our banks are full to overlooking with
money.
I hope that this letter to the COM

clear up any misrepresentation and
that 1t will lead to a study and COM
plete understanding of the impregna-

SANFRANCISCO' s
IMPORTANCE.
ASSURED
Chamber of Commerce Gives
Some Facts Relative to Metro
polls of the West.

San Francisco, June 15.-The fol-
lowing communication from the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce has
just been made public:
To the Chambers of Commerce and
Other Commercial Organizations in
the United States and Foreign
Countries:
Gentlemen:-It would seem to be
important, at this time, to give assur-
ance to the world of commerce and
trade that the commercial importance
of San Francisco is assured by ma
ture and that no accident or incident
can do away. with that fact. The
membership of the Chamber of Com
merce of San Francisco is due to that
understanding. The rapid growth OF
San Francisco in the past few years
is proof of it.
Now that rumors have found cur
rency that are not favorable to the
idea that San Francisco will continue
to grow as rapidly as before as COM
mercial port, it is the duty Of this, the
Oldest commercial body on the Pacific
coast, to call attention to certain facts
and considerations that are no less
for the advantage of than for the en-
lightment of everyone who has an
active interest in commercial geo.
gTaphy and studies its lessons.
San Francisco is the principal sea-
port of the Pacific coast of the United
States. Two tTansContinental systems
of railways, the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe have their teTmini here,
and third transcontinental road is in
construction, with San Francisco at its
terminus. Lines of steamships regu-
laTly ply between San Francisco and
the Orient, Australia, New Zealand,
the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, the
coasts of South and Central America,
the Philippines, Alaska, the seaports
of the Pacific coast of the United
States and European ports. Sailing
vessels from all parts of the world de-
liver and take ,cargoesta at San Fran
cisco. IS
Two large rivers, the Sacramento
and the San Joaquin, serve as inland
water ways to the great interior val
legs, which are hundreds of miles in
length, in size and empire, having soil
and capacity toSSnaintain1 comfortably
at least twenty million people, and to
produce food for a great part of
Europe.
Climate supplements soil and en-
ables California to send to the portOf
San Francisco for shipment, vast guam
titles of products that are peculiar, as
regards the United States to CalifOr-
nit, and that always will end to
greatly augment the commerce of this
port. The grain fields, now that in
telligent experiment is pointing the
way to an addition to their output, will
increase the present volumne of
freights to be moved and enrich San
Francisco very greatly. The mineral
products of California amount to about

Stevenson, who is remaining for a few
days in the interest Of the Christian
Advocate, Of which he is associate
editor.
It is very probable that when the
next meeting Of the league is held in
Mobile the conference wifi be divided.
This was done here, but the action
was recOnsfdeTed. inasmuch as some
Of the delegates had not given the
subject much thought and were there
fore not in a position to vote upon
the matter.
There Is a sentiment, however,
among the delegates that the EpwO-tb
League should have the same division
as the churches. At present it is COM
posed of all Of Alabama and West
Florida, which, the delegates think, is
too much territory to be covered by
one conference, and that the meetings
cannot be arranged central enough to
obtain as large an attendance as would
be the case were the conference divid-
ed. This was the opinion of one of the
members who has been here and VINO
advocated the division at this Tina,
and who is confident that it Will be
carried through unanimously az the
meeting next year in Mobile.

The idea Of using snails for the cure
Of chest complaints is not peculiar to
the latter day Italians. There were
many believers in the nostrum in Eng

trade was done in snails at Covent

PharmacOpOeia," published by Mrs,
Delamy in 175S: docs Mary cough at

her barley water or tea water, or
whatever she drinks, might be Of great
service to her. Taken in time, they
have done wonderful cures. But Mary
