We heard a fellow kicking the OF

A fellow who drew fine of $14.80
in an assault and battery case suf-

Predicts Best Year In All
History of Pacific Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. II. -
Business, industry and ocean go
ing commerce ON the Pacific coast
will continue to show increasing
prosperity during the coming year,
in the opinion of Cogbert Coldwell,
financier. The past year has been
the most prosperous in the history
of California, he declared.
"San Francisco s docks are con
gested with shipping, both incom-
ing and outgoing Coldwell said.
"The volume of business handed
through the Golden Gate, particular
ly to Oriental ports, is larger than
ever before. It is showing 4 steady
gain month by month.
"Real estate is booming. Sales
in all parts of the state are mount
ing to a volume never before equal
led.
"Bank clearings, building per-
mits and receipts of the retail trade
have shown steady gains. Indus
tries are prosperous.
"The farmers of the state during
the past year did not get adequate
prices for their crops, but this con-
dition was not peculiar to Califor-
MIA, being true of the farmers gen
orally throughout the country. The
buying power of the farmer is low,
but there are many indications that
it will improve somewhat during
1924.

POLYNESIAN RACE
 CAME OUT OF ASIA
Investigation Gives Positive Proof
 of Their Origin

Honolulu. T. H.. Jan. 19.--The flora of tho MArquesa islands reveal con- elusive proof that the Polynesian race came out of southeastern Asia to their present habitatons in the islands of the Pacific in the opinion of Forrest Brown. Bishop museum botanist who has just returned from r months of investigation in the Marquesas in connection with the museums effort to establish the origin of the Poly nesians.
 Prof. Brown expressed the belief that a few food plants now found in the Marquesas had been obtained from the American continent during some pre-European period when that branch of the Pelynesians which set- tied in the Marquesas journeyed back and forth between their island homes and America.
 Visited America.
 The presence in the Marquesas of the sweet potato and the papaia led Prof. Brown to the theory that the Marquesans visited America, as these plants probably had been obtained in semi tropical central America, he said. The food plants most common to the Marquesas came, however, from southeastern Asia, pro'Aoly by way of Malay, Java and India. These are the taro and the breadfruit.
 He said ,that the original Polynes- ians probably had inhabited the coasts of southern Asia and had been forced to seek new homes in the Pacific by the pressure of tribes and clans from the interior. which drove them liter ally into the ocean. They took their food plants with them when they mi grated, he said.
 Natives Civil.
 Prof. Brown said that the natives of the Marquesas, who are governed oy the French ,are very civil and ex- hibit the same generosity and hospi- .ality that prevails among other Poly ,esians.
 He is not ready to express an opin- on as to the route or routes taken by he Polynesians during their migra- ions which finally landed them in Hawaii. The solution of this prob | em will require additional data and urther study of the specimens which | le brought back. Strictly fresh OFFS 61c Ruceell Eroc
