Imports
The actual imports are far in ex-
cess OF the estimate made for the last
three months, as the prospect of tariff
revision had the effect of limiting inn
portations for the months on which
the average is taken
Merchandise passing through this
port from which San Francisco bene-
fits in the way of labor, storage and

only with the actual trade of the port.
FULL CREDIT NOT GIVEN
The export record. as shown by the
custom house figures, also fails to
give San Francisco full credit. 1t
has been the custom for ships leav-
ing here for foreign ports, via Puget
Sound, to sail under an enrolment
and not take out register until
ready to leave the Puget sound port.
In this way the Puget sound port was
given credit for all the cargo loaded
at San Francisco. By a recent rub
ing this has been changed and here
after all foreign bound ships must
take out a register here and this port
will get full credit for all its contri-
buttons to outgoing commerce.
The records show San Francisco to
be a thoroughly cosmopolitan trader,

San Frandsco's !! Trade Shows Big Increase 5;
Business From Canal Swels Port Imports

That the world has faith in San
Franchises commercial future is In
dicated by the fact that practically
every one of the big steamship In
terests has either established termi-
nal connections here or is making
negotiations to that end. This means
that the keenest minds in the trans
portation business have reached the
conclusion that the opening of the
Panama canal is going to make San
Francisco a trade center, an interna-
tional terminal on the highway of
commerce.
This faith In San FranciscO's future
is not, however, based entirely on
what the opening of the canal is ex-
pected to do for this port. The bust
ness Is here now, of healthy bulk and
growing apace.
The story OF this bulk and growth
is told. in concrete form, by the ac-
companying figures. They are taken
from the records of the custom house
and as on these records duties have
been assessed and paid and port dues
collected. they may be taken as cor
rect. for they have been checked by
payer and payee.
ENTIRE STORY NOT TOLD
The figures, however. in spite Of
their accuracy. do not tell the whole
story. The statement shows a de-
crease In imports in 1913 OF more than
$4,000. 900. As a matter Of fact. the
records for the year fill show an in
crease, as imports of considerably

Here's Record
That Has Made
Hoyle Famous

Record of John E. Hople.
purden of San Quentin prison:
He was a newspaper publish
er in the northern part of Cali
fornia. He received his ap-
pointrnent from Governor Gil
lett in 1907.
Among his reforms at San
Quentin were: Classification of
prisoners, school for teaching
the convicts trades. He made
a clean, healthy prison out of a
filthy, germ breeding institu-
ton; gave the convicts better
clothing and more substantial
food; limited use of strait
jacket; put fewer men in the
dungeon.
Warden Hoyle was COM
mended by the legislative COM
mittee which investigated the
prison for his humane treat
ment of the 1000 convicts and
his establishment of reforms.
Before his first term had half
expired he was ranked with
Major McClaughry of Leaven-
worth, Henry Wolfer of Still
water and Major Randall of the
Massachusetts, commission, the
foremost prison men in Amer
lea.
Many states, and even the
federal government, sought his
services. His reason for de-
clining was that he received an
increase of salary from the
California legislature and was
allowed to carry out more lib
eral reforms.
Warden Hoyle was reap
pointed June IL to four year
term.

$4,000 Acres Land
For National Forest

Washington, D. 9. Jan. 8-For
the protection of the Savannah
river. the national forest reserva-
ton commission today approved
for purchase, under the Weeks
law, $4,000 acres of land IN Geor-
gia and South Carolina along the
headwater tributaries of the river.
The Savannah one of the impor-
tant rivers of the south, is naviga-
BILE for $50 miles; but the geologl-
cal survey made report stating
that nowhere IN the southern APP
palachian region is the danger of
erosion greater tnan in the section
where the lands for purchase are
located and that the control OF
these lands was important on
protecting the flow of the river. :"
The commission expressed itself
as pleased with today's work be-
causes the land selected had to be
bought from eighty-seven owners.
1t lies in Rabun county, Georgia,
and Oconee county, South Carolina
on the south slope of the Blue
Ridge. Permanent farming in the
region, it was said, was not posi-
BILE, because after being cleared
the lands erode violently. Due to
the failure of agriculture in the
section the population there is less
