prising city are planning to be ready
to bring the worlds shipping to their
very doors by the time the Panama
canal is completed.
1t was Richmond's deep water front
age which first attracted the Standard
oil company and the Santa Fe to. come
to this point and build docks. But the
citizens and capitalists of the town
were not satisfied to have all the docks
way off at one end of the town, and
so the work of canal dredging was
started.
Every inducement is being made to
bring business and industries of all
kinds to the city. Factory sites are
being kept down to low figure
A very notable feature of Richmond's s
growth is the fact that. the worlSmen
are nearly all buying lots and building
homes for their families The result
is that very contented and permanent
population is becoming established
| there.
Although the city is less than 10
years old it has $4,000 people and COW
ers over $4,000 acres; it has four news
papers, two banks, seven hotels. a $40
| 900 public library, 100000 invested in
| public school buildings belt line rail-
way, a superior electric railway serving
| 90 miles of streets, a city hall, opera
house, churches of half dozen denomi-
nations. a private hospital, clubs, fra
| terna1 organizations and so manufac-
turing plants. One prominent citizen
says:
Richmond is not so much reaching
out to the world at large as the cap
tains of industry are reaching for Rich
mond and its natural advantages.
Where men of acknowledged lead in the
commercial and financial world invest
there the workingman and small busi-
nessman need not fear to follow their
example and cast in their lot with u.s.
I'VE rejoice in our prosperity not
only on our own account, but because
we can be factor in contributing to
the prosperity of San Francisco and all
of our neighboring cities

HarbOr Great Asset 4

Redwood City seems destined to
again reach the relative prominence it
enjoyed before the building of the
coast line when it was one of the most
important shipping points on San Fran
cisco bay. AT that time the wagon road
led to the water front and freighters
hauled up alongside deep sea vessels to
transfer their cargoes- With the ad-
vent of the railroad competition cut on
the wagon freighters. and as the
Southern Pacific laid no spur tracks to
the harbor Redwood City as a deep
water shipping port practically faded
out of existence.
The railroad people and their follow
ing of investors probably foresaw the
coming conditions and have been salts
fed. until now. to let the harbor pass
out of the minds OF the public and thus
enable themselves TO get hold OF VAL
liable bay front acreage before starting
such developments as the Dumbarton
bridge, the bay shore cutoff and the
spur track facilities now being in
stalled

TAKES Suicide ROUTE
CHARLES SCHOENEMAN, OF
COAL CAMP, CUTS HIS OWN
THROAT.

Roundup Record: The lifeless body
Of Chas. Schoeneman, a bridge car
penter in the employ OF the railroad

that it was someone asleep nothing

found the man dead The body lay
i'll an underground of brush about a
hundred feet south Of the track. Mr.
Flynn Immediately notified the au-
thorities here, and after notifying the
coroner the body was brought to town
yesterday evening.
County Coroner Creel, County At

came over from Lewstown this morn
ing in an automobile, and an inquest
was held over the body at two O'Clock
this afternoon. A coroner's jury was
| impannelled, and seven members OF
the crew with whom he worked, were
examined. The finding OF the jury
was that the man came to his death
from wound in the throat inflicted
with a razor in his own hands.
Schoeneman was thirty -one years
OF age and had been employed on this
division under Bridge Foreman Z. R.
Schoheld for over year. He came
from Chaska, Minnesota, where his
parents are still living. He also has
