SAN FRANCISCO GAINS
BY FAIR PUBLICITY
Coou Noads Men Are Boosting
for the Convention at
That City

| PORTLAND, Nov. 1S.-With the
great Panama-Pacifc international
Exposition still nearly four years away
San Francisco is already beginning to
feel it's first benefits in the way of in
creased attention from the whole
coast Pictures of the fair-site, OF
the mountaineering cerem onies and
of the exposition as it will look when
ready for visitors, are finding their
way into shop windows from Skagway
| to Mexico. The lyricists are taking
| notice, too; and on pianos far and
wide the jovial strains of Down in
San Francisco where the weather
| fair" compete with a new attrac-
ton: I'm going back-back-to see
my pal down in San Francisco town."
Convention at the Golden Gate
More substantial interest is mani
tested in the scheduling of numerous
conventions at the Golden Gate for
the near future. Officials of large
coast organizations evidently feel that
in addition to its size and central To-
cation, San Francisco as the Expo
sition City offers a desirable place for
gatherings of the sort.
Such considerations probably in
fluenced the heads of the Pacific
Highway Association, when, at a re-
cent meeting of it's governing board,
they chose the California metropolis
for the next annual convention, Aug
ust 5th 9Th and 7th, 1912.
Make the Trip by Machines
That good roads men and motor
lists Of the coast and the east might
have ample time to arrange for the
trip by machine, is the reason given
by the Associations officers for set
ting the date thus early. Last sum-
mer's convention in Portland resulted
in the marking of Oregon with Pa
cific Highway signs the following
month. The Association is anxious to
begin similar activity in the Golden
State, so that automobile tourists to
the Exposition, of whom there will
undoubtedly be thousands, will be
able to make extended trips on the
great trunk-road in either direction
as a part of their outing
Motor All the Way to Frisco
The Pacific Highway Association is
DESTROYS of having as many delegates
as possible, make the convention trip
by machine. Twenty five have al
ready announced their intention of
motoring down from Seattle alone.
The big contingent from the north
will be rivaled in size by that from
Southern California; while MANY
highway advocates are expected from
eastern points. One of Oklahoma's
leading oil operators will be present;
and many other well-k~ -wn eastern
ers are to be invited.

MARKET IS STRONGER
ON THE POTATO SIDE
Trouble With the Railway West
of This Valley Make Some
Decided Differences

1t is probable that when the North
ern Pacific railway gets so that it can
handle freight from the Yakima valley
to the Sound that there will be the best
potato and hay shipments of this sea-
son. Lately there has been very little
doing and just as the market began to
wear a better appearance along came
track trouble due to rains, etc, and
the business is absolutely stopped for
time. If, as stated, the Seattle and
Tacoma markets have been moving
along, from hand to mouth, a check
of few days is likely to make some
difference, especially when business
does resume.
Potatoes have strengthened a notch
or two and are now quoted at from
$40 to $40 per ton, which is an ad-
vance of dollar or better.
Beef Is Stronger
In the meat market the report is
that, so far as the wholesale business
is concerned that beef 1t stronger while
poultry is weaker There is no ad-
vance made as yet in the price paid
producers for beef, either alive or
dressed but there is a drop in the
quotations for ducks and geese which
have fallen off, geese TO ten cents q
pound, which is drop Of over two
cents, while ducks dropped a half
point to the straight twelve cent mark.
Turkeys are still quoted at Is cents a
pound, paid the producers.
There Is no apple market at this
time, and in general no pronounced
market for any of the products of the
soil that are grown here in any guam
titles

Mark Twain's Seaiskin Coat.

At the time Of our first meeting,
which must have been well toward the

satisfaction of caprice or the love
Of strong effect which he was apt TIC

Of dense red hair and the wide sweep
Of his flaming mustache Clemens was
