out some years ago in the collection
called "Abaft the Funnel" Some
what later Kipling again made brief
use of San Francisco in the introduc-
ton to the story "The Mutiny of the
Mavericks"
But the Kipling who discovered
San Francisco in 1889 and who rather
cockily wrote "Rudyard Kipling
Allahabad, India" in the register Of
the Palace Hotel, was nursing the
familiar English grievance about
"pirated books" and in consequence
saw with a somewhat jaundiced eye.
He carried that grievance up every
San Francisco hill and into every
side street and through it sur
veyed every aspect of the city's
life and every one of it's monu-
ments, the Palace Hotel, the Cliff
House and even the Bohemian
Club, where he was generously
entertained Then, having had his
say about San Francisco report
ers, cable cars, hotel clerks, hotel
walters, bunco steerers, climate and
clubs, Kipling proceeded to Portland,
Oregon, and fished gloriously for sal
mon in the Columbia River. Then he
visited the Yellowstone Park, which
he found to be laid out like Ollen-
dorff, in exercises of progressive diff
ficulty. Astride the clouds he peered
down the mouth of the Devils Beth
esda, hobnobbed with Uncle Sans
troopers, made comparisons of Amer
ican versus British manners and did
the Grand Canyon in company with
the Henry James maiden from New
Hampshire. Then on to Chicago,
with its stockyards; Buffalo, with its
wheat elevators. and New York, in
his eyes defenceless against foreign
invasion, the city of "heaven-loot"
That summed up his first visit.

rying Cheyne senior and Mrs. Cheyne
from San Diego, Southern California,
to Gloucester, Mass. to find their son,
Harvey, miraculously rescued from
the sea; and it has recently been told
in THE NEW YORK HERALD book sec
ton that Kipling, wishing to be accu-
rate down to the last detail, resorted
to the simple expedient of writing to
the railway companies to ask how it
could be done.
Eighty-seven hours and thirty
five minutes were consumed in the
transcontinental journey; or three
days fifteen hours and a half. Here
is the transcontinental route fol-
lowed: The Constance was sum-
moned from Los Angeles and attached
to the special locomotive that was
to whirl it to Sixteenth street
Chicago, in time to connect with the
New York Limited. San Bernardino,
the Mohave wastes, the Needles, the
Colorado River, Ash Fork, Flagstaff,
the Continental Divide, the great lift
from Albuquerque to Glorietta, the
Ration Tunnel, La Junta, the Arkan-
saw, Dodge City, Nickerson, Topeka
and Marceline-these were points
that flashed by the car windows
during the first stage. Then over
Michigan Southern. the New York
Central and Hudson River and the
Boston and Albany, and, the run
from tidewater to tidewater complet-
ed, Harvey was waiting for them.
1t was thirty odd years ago that
Rudyard Kipling first discovered the
United States, when, on that journey
round the globe that was responsible
for American Notes." he entered
the San Francisco harbor through
the Golden Gate on the City of
Pekin.. Yet before that he had made
San Francisco the background of one
of his stories, "The Shadow of His
Hand" which is one of the early
tales that Kipling himself would be
pleased to have forgotten, but which.

LABOR SITUATION NEARLY NOR

ARE PAYING BETTER WAGES
Prices Remain Constant, Industry
Shows More Production and
Building Gains-crops Show
More Deterioration.

Washington.-A highly optimistic
summary of general business and f.
nancial conditions throughout the coun-
try for the month OF September just
issued by the federal reserve board.
The chief development of the month
says the report, has been the improve
ment in the labor situation. The
amount of voluntary unemployment
has been greatly reduced, and wages
have shown q distinct upward tend
ency.
Other outstanding features of the
situation as revealed by the boards 3
report were:
Mining output increased about per
cent during August and has shown a
tremendous expansion during Septem.
Der, due to the reopening of most of
the bituminous and anthracite coal
mines.
Manufacturing is also being main
tanned at relatively high levels, In
creased production being reported in
most important industries.
The crop prospects are somewhat
less encouraging than month ago,
as there has been a rather general
deterioration of the growing crops.
Both wholesale ard retail trade
showed marked expansion during Aug
ust.
Financial conditions continue to be
very sound, while domestic money
rates show slight upward tendency.
The general level of prices has re-
mained constant during past month /;
the August index number Of the fed
eral reserve board being the same as
that for July.
Manufacturing was slightly cur
tailed in August, but has recovered
during September" said the report
Iron furnaces and steel mills are
increasing their rate of production to
satisfy the continued large demand OF
railroads and automobile companies
The market for non-ferros metals has
been unusually strong and reflects a
further increase in mine output of
copper and lead. Cotton mills and knit
goods factories have increased their
output and woolen machinery is slight.
~ more active while August silk con.
sumption was the largest for any
month since 1919. The continued build
ing activity has resulted in an i'm.
proved demand for lumber cement and
other building materials.
"The volume of employment has in
creased during September in accord
ance with the return to work of sew
eral hundred thousand miners, railroad
shopmen and textile workers The pc
riod from Aug. 10 to Sept. Is, more
over, contained by far the largest mum
Der of wage increases reported in any
month since the decline Of business ac'
