San Francisco And Portola.

San Francisco is celebrating Its rise
from the disaster of 1906 and at the
same time concentrating the dis
covery of San Francisco Bay by Gas
par de Portola on the 18th day of Oc-
tober, 1863. The worth of Portola' S
discovery has been demonstrated tc
generation after generation. He gave
to the civilized peoples of the earth the
knowledge of one of the most beautl-
ful, one of the largest. and one OF inc
best harbors on any coast. Upon It's
shores has been built a great city ana
on the waters of the bay have ridden
vessels and cargoes rich beyond the
dreams of the gold-hunting voyagers
of Portfolios day.
1t is the gateway of the Pacific,
through which the riches of the Orient
flow into America and the other riches
of the Western hemisphere flow out
ward across the Pacific to India, China
and Japan. The navies of all the ma
tons of the earth can ride with per-
feet security on it's waters and there
would be still room for a large part
of the worlds merchant marine. The
wonderful opportunity was unimproved
by the Spaniards, but with the dis
covery of gold in California and the
remarkable development of the Elder
ado west of the Rockies, San Francisco
came into it's own.
San Francisco in the period from
1916 until 1906 developed into one of
the largest cities of our country; one
of the busiest cities and at the same
time one of the most wicked cities of
the new world. Earthquake followed
by fire purged the city of plague spots;
RACED $4,000 buildings; cleared an area
Of four miles square and destroyed
$500, OOO 900 worth of PROPERTY. In the
three years that have interviewed San
Francisco has risen from its ashes.
The self reliance, the energy and the
ability to overcome tremendous OBJ
stacles, so typical Of the Anglo Saxon
race, is revealed here in it's perfection.
All the wisdom and riches of Solomon
could not have wrought such a city
as now exists on the banks of the bay
Portola discovered 1t is indeed fitting
that San Francisco pause to pay trib-
ute to the man who made known her
natural advantages.

the work Of the permanent improve

character of sands along the North
Carolina coast until a breakwater Is
constructed.
To Become a COaling Port.
h harbor at Lookout offers other
advantages beside that of becoming
one of the nations greatest watering
resorts. By fortune of location Look
out is the nearest point on the Allan
tic to h Panama canal, which speaks
much for its possibilities and~future as
a harbor. Above all it means that
Lookout will become a coaling station
Of the first Importance. Being a har-
Dor Of refuge where vessels necessarily
stop in preference to rounding Hat
teras during bad weather and the
nearest port on the map to Panama,
Lookout should be the destination
one way and another Of the best part
Of the coast-wise trade. And in this
connection / happen to know that a
very prominent North Carolinian had
an engagement with the late II. II.
Rogers, who was to be in Norfolk this
month, for the purpose of discussing
with him the development Of Lookout
as a cOaling point in connection with
his Virginian Railway.
While travelling with the Congress
siona party that recently inspected
the North Carolina section of the At
lantie Inland Waterway I had the
pleasure Of discussing with Captain
Brown the possibilities of Lookout
harbOr which he believes is destined
to become an important point on the
Atlantic seaboard in the not far dis
tant future. He has only recently re-
turned from a tri to the harbor, and
has rogressed sufficiently with the
survey Of the waters and a study of
the adjacent territory to be able to
make his report to Congress in De-
cember.
An Early ApprOpria ton.
It will be necessary to build a
to maintain the harbOr,
but the cost Of this work will prob
ably be less han a million dollars, and
in comparison with the Importance Of
the Improvement of the port is not
much Of an expenditure.
The argument in favor of the con-
struction of this breakWater is SO
strong that it is believed Congress will
make an appropriation at the coming
session to begin the work. Before
undertaking the survey authorized by
Congress, Captain Brown wrote to
the of all coast-wise trading
vessels that make h trip from
to Southern and South
ports with the object of as
whether they consider the
of the harbor at Look
out as desirable. More than a hum
dred letters have been received in
reply strongly urging the construc-
ton Of the b~reakwater for the ~perma-
nent improvement of the harbor. Only
one letter o a contrary view. This
came from the owner OF a steamship
line, who said that the harbor- al
ready encouraged the crews of
weather-beaten ships to remain too
long in%LeDkout. Captain Brown was |
