PIONEER women
PICNIC in GROVE
Olden Days Recalled in Tales
Told Under Historical Trees
+:
of Golden Gate Park

. The historical grove in Golden Gate
park near the camp of t4s was the. spot
chosen. yesterday morning by the
Pioneer Women of California for their
annual picnic, each tree. dedicated to
"a state of the Union, flying. the stars
and stripes fn honor of the OCCASION;
Before this. time next year. the mem
bers of the association; will have a
tree of their own in the grove, having
decided at their reunion to place an
oak tree, symbolic of strength, to COM
memorate the pioneer women.
The construction OF log cabin for
the use of tile members also was dis
cussed. Plans for the structure will be
made at once, so that their future meet
ings can be held there at least once a
month. A part. of the museum also will
be. given over to. them and doubtless
will prove one of the most interesting
exhibits in the entire collection with
its mementos of past glory and articles
of historical value, particularly to
those who. claim California as their
. native state.
Mrs. Mary D. Prendergast president
of the association, presided at the long
table. which was tastily arranged be-
meath the trees, and led the anecdotes
Of the day with her "reminiscences of
the earlier days on this coast. The
picnic was given oyer to song, recita

the. occasion proved of unusual inter
est. Several members of the Daugh-
tiers. of the Confederacy and of the
Daughters. of. the: Revolution !. Were
their guests and added TO the fund Of
good tales by~,their delightful stories
.of the. opening up of the west. Mrs.
North: Whitconfb recited an original
poem. entitled. THE Belle: of So. and
George. Baron, curator of the park

the picnic as his donation, addressed

dropped his hands and ordered Choyn--
ski TO hit him on the chin. Choynski
did and JEFF only grinned as the blows
landed. Later Jim boxed with his
brother Jack and rushed him around
the ring piayfully. Corbett, who is
not feeling wen, didn't put on the
gloves Neither did Armstrong. Jeff
didn't want TO use Armstrong in the
pictures for fear some people might
think Bob was Johnson.
sTAGGERS BERGER
sam Berger boxed two rounds. Sam
slugged as hard as he could. now and
then catching JEFF fairly on the chin
with left or right. Jeff showed speed
here. He shot his left out suddenly
taggered Berger Sam was about
to fall when JEFF caught him and held
him up. Jim waltzed around in a
cjinch until Sam recovered.
There wasn't anything very impress
sive about Jeff's work, He didn't play
to the grandstand, paid no attention
to anything but the boxing and went
about it all in rather lackadafsieal
manner. When the boxing was over
he left the ring quickly and escaped
from the crowd. -;
While ali of this was going on the
governor: was sitting in rocking
chair placed under: the punching bag
platform. He kept behind Captain Cox
TO avoid the moving picturemen. After
the bouts the governor stood on the
platform for while and talked fight
with a few of us. He said. that he'd
seldom seen men who could compare
with JEFF.

CANADIAN VESSELS
REPLACE AMERICAN
United States Ships Lose Trade
f With Nova Scotia

Consular Assistant Ross j. Hazeltine
OF Halifax forwards a report showing
that while the volume of trade between
tina Nova Scotian port and the United
States has. increased from $4,000, 900 to
SO, 100000 in the last so years. Ameri
can vessels, which form merly carried
practically. all the trade, have been
suppianted in the last 80 years by
Canadian vessels manned by Canadian
crews.
In so years the declared exports
-orn Halifax. to the United States have
Increased 800 per cent and the imports
therefrom have more than doubled.
Prior to 1878 practically all this trade
was carried in American bottoms, but
that year was the high water mark,
and the decline since then has been re-
markable. In 1878 107 American yes
sells (93 steam and IA sailing), ag6re-
eating 124251 tons, entered the port of
Halifax; in 1a0S only 25 American ves-
sells (nine steam and IS sailing), ag-
gregating 1854 tons. entered the port.
In 1868 the value of the inward and
outward cargoes from Halifax carried
by American vessels, was S2.346,S30.
which represented practically all of the
ocean going trade In 1909 American
vessels carried only S179645~ worth of
commerce, aggregating $4,000, 600.
American vessels now carry less than
one-thir th of the value Of the ear
goes of 40 years ago, while the COM
Tnerce has increase considerably over
so per cent sii &c that time; or, in other
words, American participation in the
carrying trade has decreased from
practically 100. per cent in 1858 TO less
than per cent in 1903.
r There is also a vast difference in the
nature of the cargoes carried in Amerl-
can vessels In 1878 cargoes' from the
United States consisted of general mer-
chandise. man lifactures and foodstuffs;
in 1908 inward cargo carried in Amerl-
can bottoms was valued at SlS5,649, of
which. s140,000 was. petroleum trans
ported in the: company''s own barges
that returned to the. United states IN
ba allast. In fact, the. :.cn4y American
vessels now engag fn commerce be-
tween: this port and the United states
are oil and coal vessels. fishing, schoon-
ers owned by American firms. and lum-
her: sehooners. Chartered by American
mills haning extensive - interests IN

The loss to american shipping inter

GOO 900 have been. carried. between f1ail-

all that sort of thing. But most OF all
they speak of that spirit which
brought fighters to the front for small
money.
STAUNCH HEARTS THEN
Undoubtedly they are right-from
their standpoint. The past was fine.
The ring battles OF the past were stern
affairs The fighters had staunch
hearts But this is today. And as TO-
day came along the marquis OF
Queensberry rules came to keep alive
the man TO man struggle which nearly
all men love to see. And after that
came this portraying device by whlcn
a million people can see one contest
the invention which. Nif anything does
it will keep the game alive. The times
are different, but all the world loves a
fight; II they can't witness it one way
they will another.
CROWDS WATCH JEFFRIES
Two thousand people fought for
room and crowded about the ring at
Moana springs this afternoon to watch
James ]. JeffrieS work out before the
moving picture machines.
And Jeff, with a face of stone, went
through it all, mana ginG to keep his
dignity He skipped the rope clad
only in a pair of purple trunks, circled

nurse girls holding babies up to look.
And he never lost his poise.
Excepting for his training stan, who
were busy with their work, and for the
newspapermen, who didn't count he
was the only one in the place no was
not ridiculous. 1t is no wonder he
likes trout fishing better than that
sort o fthing He had to do it.
The moving picture men must have
their films: he was under contract 70
give them the material. He had to go
forth; to stand gigantic and bare
Iimbed; to skip the rope and punch the
bag and box, while hundreds gaped
and babies walled and grown men
climbed trees to watch.
BIG FIGHTER SERIOUS
They call him, Grabbed for having
tried to dodge the mobs. And yet the
man is working seriously with view
of fighting a big fight and not with g
view of making a she out of himself
The only trouble with Jeff-that Is

he has acted, appears to be that Inc
has some sense of proportion. =

AMERICANS BUY PIG
IRON FROM CHINESE
Robert Dollar Steamship Cons
pany to Transport Ore

In reporting the signing of q con-
tract for the supply. of Chinese pig: iron
and iron ore to- an American concern by
the. Hapyang iron and steel works of
Hankow, Vice Solfsu Hubert G. -Baugh
gives the following details:
r. The contract calls for: the shipment
to the. Western steel corporation at
lrondale Wash, of at least $4,000 tons
each of pig iron and iron ore annually
@for 15 years. AT the optiom of the pIlr-
chaser the, shipments may be increased
to 100000 tons in a year. This Chinese
ore is guaranteed. 81 per cent pure. and
the pig iron from it was quoted last
December at S25 per ton. against s23 to
$3.50 for English and continental
The total output of pig iron of the
Hanyang works for 1909 was $4,000
tons. A new blast furnace to be started
shortly will enable this to be doubled !;
but if the possible maximum of 100. 600
tons is desired by the American steel
company it can readily be seen that the
larger part of the output of the Ham
yang works will be exported. Exports
to Shanghai and other Chinese ports
amounted in 1909 to 16.SOO tons. to
Japan 2S,70O to the United States S,SO0,
a total of 44,30e tons
The Robert Dollar steamship COM
pany Will transport the ore and pig
iron, and at least II trips a wear will
be necessary to carry the minimum
amount. For this service one or two
new steamers will Immediately be con-
structed in the British isles. Though
these will fly the British flag they will
be owned by American capitalists. 1t
will require considerable freight to fill
these vessels in the outward cargo, and
this enterprise should help increase
trade between the United States and
China.
The proposed trip next September of
representatives of the associated cham
bers Of commerce of the Pacific Goa st
should further stimulate this commerce.
