Lavish COurtesies
For Enlisted Men

The arrangements for the entertain
ment of the enlisted men of the various
foreign warships on the bay for the
Portola festival have never been sur
passed in any city in the world where
the navies have gathered as guests.
The bluejacket and marine ashore in
San Francisco is. in very truth, well
come guest, and nothing that could be
devised for his comfort and enjoyment
has been left undone.
The Naval 7. NJ. c. A. has been large
ly instrumental in bringing about this
condition of affairs for the sailors
Their headquarters at 81 Market street
form veritable haven for these world
wanderers, as wel as social club,
with all the features of gymnasium,
baths, pool tables, music. reading and
lounging rooms with pianos. phono-
graphs and all the facilities for receiv-
ing or dispatching letters or money
orders, telegraphing or telephoning.
Here money orders are procurable to
all parts of the world. and here also are
interpreters to make the stranger feel
at home, no matter from what corner
of the globe he may be. Sleeping ac-
commodations are provided for men on
shore leave, and a hundred other little
comforts and courtesies are ready for
petty officers and enlisted men who are
now the city'S invited guests.
Programs of the festival in all Ian
guages have been prepared. and the
ships of each nationality will be pro-
vided with complete summary of the
events in the native tongue.
There will be two banquets and en-
tertainments, besides the ma Squerade

the petty officers of the International
armada, and on Friday the enlisted
men will be given a banquet. Both of
these will be given at Growers cafe in
California street
The sailors themselves will also act
as hosts during their stay. Every day
during the festival they will keep open
house-or, more correctly, open ship
for the thousands of visitors to the
city. from to o'clock each after
noon.
Tugs and cutters will ply to and fro
between the wharves and the battle
ships all afternoon, and there will be
corps of spick and span sailormen and
petty officers aboard to show the visit
ors about the perfectly appointed quar-
ters which constitute their little world
for nine months of the year.

Final announcement that the West

to membership in the transcontinental
freight bureau was received yesterday
in the form of supplements to the
transcontinental tariffs of the bureau
which amended former issues to in
clude the Western Pacific railroafAs
a party to all of the transcontinental
routings and opening the Salt Lake
gateway for transcontinental business,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Heretofore the position which the
Western Pacific road wonld take has
been a matter of general speculation,
and some shippers have been opti-
mistic enough to predict that the new
line from Salt Lake to San Francisco
would ISSUE an Independent tariff and
reserve the right to make changes
without consulting the transcontinen-
tai freight bureau, which i'll effect de-
stroys all competition so far as rate
making is concerned in transconti-
mental business. This action was ia
ken by the Chicago, Milwaukee, & st.

and assumed u position where it could
act Independently after its transcon-
tinental line was extended.
