bank thornless cactus and it is
highly probable that some expert
ments will be made with it to
prove its forage qualities in the
arid sections of this state in the
near future. The claims of enor-
nous yields of seventy.fve tons
per acre without water and from
that up to 800 tons per acre with
rainfall or light irrigation is APP
pealing to local ranchmen.
Jalisco Times: The Mexican Cen
trail railway is taking the first steps
in the establishment of the eucal-
pytus forests from which it is ex-
pected to secure ties and telegraph
poles for the system. About TO-
900 small trees have been secured,
and these are being planted at
Cuernavaca. Tampico, San JuA.l
del Rio, Silao, Leon, Aguascalien-
ties and Guadalajara. If these
thrive many thousands of eucai-
yptus trees will be planted by the
Mexican Central within the next
two or three years.
Chihuahua Enterprise; Ell Pro-
greso, new newspaper published
in English at Nuevas Casas Gran
des, this state, says considerable
numbers of Cinnamon continue to
come to that place over the Rio
Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific
railroad from G. Juarez and go on
over into Sonora. The paper says
they have been doing this for more
than a year past, and as there is
nothing in northeastern Sonora for
the Cinnamon it is generally
thought that they have an under
ground railway through that state
into the United States.
Mexican Herald: According to
a report which has just come from
FL Paso, the Mexcan Central is to
let out all brakemen and trainmen
who cannot read and write and
more intelligent men will be en-
ployed. The report says that the
order has been issued that all men
in that division of the Central who
cannot read and write be relieved
and it is believed the order will
soon be general over the system
While the order does not state
whether or not the men will be re.
quired to read both English anc
Spanish, it is thought that sucl
will be the requirement.
Mexican Herald: One of tn,
most genuine, unanimous anC
spontaneous expressions of esteem
and respect for their former super
Tor officer and friend occurred a
Gonzalez junction Monday eve
ming when about fifty employees o
the National railway captured for
mer Superintendent of the South

arrival there from San Luis Potos
and presented him with an elegan
diamond ring, a cut glass, silve
mounted ink well, a silver mounte,
blotter and a gold pen, all appro
priately engraved. The inscription
inside the ring was ITO Bob, iron

The San Francisco call., 1908-04-26

BY this table it is shown that San
Francisco does almost four times as
much business as Los Angeles and be-
tween four and five times as much as
Seattle or Portland. It's three chief
emulators together do not do much
more than half as much business in
the course of year. These are cold
figures and bear out the previous state
ments of San Francisco's anrivaled po-
sition.
Even with all the rebuilding, 1t
would hardly be believed offhand that
the business of the city has grown
marvelously since the fire. But in 1905
the bank cIearlngs were sbS34,54e.7Ss;
in 1905 they were s1,sss. .4oo,77s. an in
crease in spite of the necessary iull
after the fire. Last year. as the table
shows. they made a tremendous jump
into the two billion class. The figures
of the last 80 years show that the
greatest increase has been IN the re-

figure without losing stride.
The fact that the merchants did not
allow the FIRE to bring lasting disaster
to any of them was all the proof of
the city's natural supremacy that could
be desired. There was about month
when the outside representatives Of
San Francisco houses were not able to
flI their orders. and then business be-
gan to go along in the old channels.
Buildings do not make city. but trade
does. The merchants, seeing their
stocks OF goods wiped out. began to

The geographical position Of the
city has much to do with the city's
supremacy for two reasons. In the
hrst place San Francisco bears rela-
ton to California like a river to a
valley. Everything comes own Oh the
mountain sides like rain into the
stream. Gravity carries 1t that way.
California has enormous masses OF
produce. more varied than any : IT
area in the world. Gold, fruits, grain,
wine, everything that California means,
finds its market place here. That is
a wonderful asset for a city art

and flourish that had no such reason
for growth as that. So much the more

The other side of the geographical
situation is In being the chief port OF

things are sold in the re- or are man
