THE AMERICAN ARMADA.

Perhaps never in the worlds history has there
been such magnificent marine spectacle as that
presented when the combined fleets comprising
forty-three ships of war, led by the flagship Con-
necticut with Fighting Bob" Evans on the BRIDGE
plowed it's way through the Golden Gate between
the high cliffs black with humanity that added
mighty fesh-and-blood welcome to the ships and
men upon whom devolves the task of upholding
the nations honor at home and abroad. That
division known as the Atlantic fleet had completed
the first stage of it's peaceful mission around the
world, and had joined the Pacific squadron for
grand review before the Secretary of the Navy
First of the functions connected with the com
ing of the Atlantic fleet of batteships to San
Francisco Bay was the breakfast given by the
California Promotion Committee, in honor OF Sec
rotary of the Navy Victor II. Metcalf, In the red
room of the Hotel St. Francis. In addition to Sec

WASHINGTON PRODUCTS.

California is drawing upon Washington for her
present breadstuffs supply, says West Coast Trade
There comes demand from several states east of
the Rocky Mountains for the remaining surplus
from last seasons crop of oats Purchases of
large quantities of hay being made for ship
ment to the Philippines, and the Washington
farmer is inclined to smile at the idea that people
to be proper should be pessmistic. Nature keeps
right on filling his granaries and storehouses with
bountiful crops and the rest of the world insists
furnishing him with market, that his
greatest concern with financial upheavas and
business depressions is as to their effect upon his
investments.

BY T. S. Collier.

Each life has grand day. the clouds may lie
Along the hills, and storm winds fercely blow
The great red sunshine like thing of
And deaths sad skeleton stalk grimly by;
Yet none of these, matter how they try
Can shroud the perfect triumph shall know
Or dim the glory that some star will show
Set far away in depths of purple sky,
Sweet love may bring to us this day supreme,
Or it may thrill souls through art or song,
Or meet where red batte-surges foam;
Hopes stranded wrecks the barren coasts may CLEAN,
And weeks and months dash by somber throng,
But sometime somewhere it will surely come.
