TRADE WILL REMAIN WITH THIS CITY

Any notien that NAV be entertained by the out
side world that San Francisco is likely to perma-
nently lose the bulk Of her trade with the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippines, Japan, China and Australia
Is based upon slight knowledge OF the Pacific
trade situation The fact does not seem to be gen
orally known that in handling transshipments this
city is IN just good position as it was before
the IRE and that part Of the expert trade that has
had It's origin in California WILL in addition to the
transshRments from the Atlantic, remain with this
port IN spite Of effort that may be made to take
away prestige.
Puget Sound and the Columbia River have long
had large trade in lumber wheat and -four with
the Orient This traffic will increase as the demand
for American and finished material continues
San PeGro and San Diego, on the south have handled
and viii always handle fair percentage of bust
ness with Mexican and South American ports and
Asia San Francisco has not made serious effort
at any time to capture any Of the business of these
ports nor did 1t have TO. will it ever have to.
The trans-Pacifc and South American trade of this
city IS as safe today it ever was, and as our
business men from the shock of the fire

The bulk Of the exports Of the United States to
5ae Orient cruSe and refined oils and raw cot
t9n. Lumber, wheat and -four follow in Importance
California canned goods, brandies wines and other
staple products of this State find a fair market in
6he Orient and South America and comparatively
better one IN Mexico. Portland has a growing
trade with al transPaeihc ports for goods such as
Oregon produces in abundance; so has Seattle and
70 certain extent so have Los Angeles and San
Diego but the natural trend Of all transcontinentl
shipments for transshipment to Oriental ports is
toward the natural Pacific Coast shipping center

should be allowed in cities on ac-

THE PLACEMAKERS-G B.. City.
The .'placemakers' Bible" was so called
from typographical error in the sec
ond edition of the Geneva Bible printed
in 1862. Instead of setting up the ninth
verse of Mathew so as TO read Bless
ed are the peacemakers. for they shall
be called the children of Cod il was
set up and printed as Blessed are the
placemakers," etc.
SOMERSAULTS IN THE AIR-Read-
er of Queries, Alameda. The expression
Authors must not expect like Chinese
soldiers, TO win victories by turning So
mersaults in the air. refers to the pc
culiar tactics of Chinese soldiers ad-
vancing with great elamor. with -four
ish of banner and wild gesticulat tions.
and of then suddenly wheeling and fiy-
ing in real or feigned retreat until they
have lured the enemy out of his lines of
defense or into an ambuscade. The ex-
preston is rather an extrava giant meta
phor even for tactics Of the sort de-
scribed.

Because OF a little personal feeling between SEN

fighting for each measure. Already the noOr OF
the Senate Senator White and senator ElsberG
practically have accused Senator Page OF bad faith
in Introducing his bill From the hght over the
two bills undoubtedly much delay In the passage
OF rapid transit legislation will result,
While essentially there is little difference between
the TWO bills IL is not likely that the introducer OF
either will consent amendments embodying the

TOLD OF &c MURDERS.
GoUernor of Idaho Confirms Harry
Orchards Confession.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. Ex-Governor Gooding Of
Idaho tonight issued the following statement
with respect 10 the assassination of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg:
l want to state officially that Harry Orchard
has made q full confession TO the manner
and motive of the assassination Of former
Governor Steunenberg, telling Of the plans
made and giving the names of those making
them The assassination of former Governor
Steunenberg. which occurred at his own gate
on the evening OF December 30. 1903 was the
third attempt that Orchard made against his
life. This confession made TO James Nc
Parland. Il included history OF his life from
his early boyhood UP to the time of his arrest
In that confession Orchard implicated all those
now under arrest and others. including J. /.
Sinpkins. He told the story of twenty-slX
murders the results Of cOnspiracies in which
all the accused parties were interested. When
this story is given to the public I believe it
will be the greatest narrative Of crime which
the world knows.
The finding Of the bomb Judge CiOddard's
gate DENVER and many other things which will
later be made known al the trial, have proved
the trutbfulness Of Orchards confession be-
yonG all question TO those familiar with his
story
