San Francisco's Rebuilding Jubilee.

Beginning Tuesday, October 10, and
continuing for five days, San Francis
co will celebrate with the Portola
Festival the rebuilding of the city
and will commemorate the discovery
in 1853 of the Bay of San Francisco
by Don Gaspar de Portola, first Span
ish Governor of California.
The celebration will be more than
a local one, embracing California and
the entire west. AS the blow to San
, Francisco in 1906 was keenly felt
throughout the west, SO it's recovery
will be acclaimed and the entire
west will join in the celebration.
For the festival, San Francisco will
be in gala attire as never before.
By night it will blaze with 1000 900
lights of 100000 candle.power. By
day it will be bower of red and
yellow and a-f.u.ter with millions of
flags streamers and pennanss.
All previous efforts at decorating
and illuminating, for which San Fran
cisco was famous before the fire, will
be eclipsed during Portola week.
Nearly 100000 has been spent by
the festival committee and the mer-
chants Of the city in Transforming
San Francisco into fairyland.
Twenty-Five foreign nations will be
represented at the celebration. Eight
warships from the kingdoms across
the seas will take part in the big
naval pageant and their officers and
men will be picturesque features OF
the festivities.
A score Of vessels will represent
the United States. When at anchor
the great International armada will
stretch for miles along the harbor
front. The illumination of the ve3-
sells at night and the play of the
scores of searchlights as they ogle
the shores and hills will be one Of
the thrilling spectacles of the festi-
val.
The festival will be inaugurated on
Tuesday morning, October 10, by the
return Of Don Gaspar de Portola to
the city. Escorted by the Portola
Dragons he will head the greatest
military pageant ever seen in the
west.
Infantry, cavalry. artillery. regi-
ments of militia and detachments Of
sailors from all of the war vessels,
will form a bewildering array that
will stretch along the streets for
miles. At Marshall Square, Portola
will be received by the Mayor and
the golden keys of the city entrusted
to his care.
At noon will occur probably the
most impressive feature Of the en-
tire celebration; President Taft will
propose a toast to the new city OF
San Francisco and the Portola Fes.
tival, which at noon. San Francisco
time. will be drunk throughout the
world.

grounds being extreme cruelty. The
complaint filed by Mrs. Harris would
indicate that she had not found mar

had anticipated, nor the matrimonial

THEY ARf COMING SOUTH.

A close observer and a student of economic conditions in weeks tour of the adjacent country re- gently saw much to commend this section to Northern farmers. He was a large furniture dealer from Indiana and had been on a tour purchasing lumber and timber for his factory.
 This is not the first instance wherein Northern men have phophesied events of interest for the future of this section. Many have suited action to the word and have purchased large holdings. Senator Fremont Goodwine, of h. diana, is one example. He owns several thousand acres in Indiana, but this did not deter him in pur-, chasing 5000 acres of land in Tensas parish, Louisiana. And what is more interesting he neglects his Indiana farms to spend the summer here. realizing that the revenue from his investments here is far greater than on all of his h. diana noesaeeions
 If Northern farmers see wealth in our surroundings, why can't the South9 It is here. Nature never smiled more cheeringly on her children than she does on this dis trict. It is useless enumerate the hundred and one advantages this section has over other places; and yet there are many who cling to an tequated theory that naught but cotton will grow.
 Our soil is adapted to all crops, climate conditions could not be im- proved upon and cotton exper- fences of the past are sufficient at tests that the world has no better husbandmen than our farmers.
 So rather than fret about the past, let us have will for every thing. The future certainly is en- couraging; at least it can not be any more discouraging than the past two seasons. Cotton will never be King again; let's get busy and find a substitute.

 T spent exactly 65 minutes with the great dramatist. When I entered he was smoking calabash pipe of generous proportions. He smoked it out in purposeful way and laid it on the masterpiece to cool. Then he felt in his right coat pocket and, pro duced a handsome briar. This he loaded and lit When it was done he laid it on the shelf and took out a second briar from another pocket. He smoked it out, and then assuring him self that the calabash was cool again, went back to. it. He smoked three and half pipes within the hour and finished up with a cigarette"
