To say that the total valuation of ths

OOO.OOO is not understandable. a. - hundred
billion Collars Is such a pile or money
that the mind simply cannot grasp Its
meaning on the Instant. It is more tbsn
twice the total amount of the wealth of
the United Kinedom. of France, or ot
Ormany; and over three times that of
Russia or, of Austria-Hungary.

the best way of Illustrating; the actual

Many Sofia 1 Functions.
J V T. A. SIXSHRIMER.
SAX FRAXCISCO, Jan. 13. (Special.)
with thP turnlntr of the year San Fran-
?lxc has ronnrt itself enjoying com
mercial prosperity far in excess or that
which It predicted for itself, even before
the earthquake. Customs receipts are
heavier than ever before, bank clearings
Rre much ajreater than a year ago, wages
nre hiither and the 'savings banks are
Miibarrapspd by the flood ot coin which
has poured in upon ..them.
The. public service corporations, whose
intereFts were apparently shattered by
thp disaster, arewlthln eight or renewed
flivlrlonds. The United Railroads (the
traction company) nnds its receipts for
iWti nine-tenths as lara-e as In 1905. The
Spring Valley Water Compart-, which en
joys a monopoly, at Its annual meeting
this week discovered that it could elimi
nate one of the proposed assessments.
ns lt receipts had climbed to unexpected
helots. It should be explained, how-
ever, that the abundant rains have filled
it It the company's reservoirs and have
thus been a big factor in bringing- about
existing conditions.
Oilier Cities Share Prosperity.
The prosperity is by no means confined
to Siin Francisco. No place In the state
is in a more flonrUhinff condition than
Santa Jtosa. the little city of 10,1)00 souls,
which, in proportion to its size, suffered
most severely from the disaster of last
April. Santa Rosa has experienced a
buih.ing boom that has been limited only
by the supply of labor and building material.
The couious rains have made bright the
prospects for an abundant harvest from
11 Id n rytl orchard. . FYom every section
of the, state the joyful cry has gone
forth. Xo Christmas season has seen Ye
t:ijl trade at -so high a -flow; the one
just pursed.

.j The San Francisco of January 1907.
wliile by mo means the San Francisco of
January l!o5. is nevertheless a mighty
example of a mighty battle. Steel frames
ilirust'tlielr skeletons high into' the sky
line. - Brick . walls rise over niprht and
homes spring up on the hillsides like
weeds in a garden.
The scene from Nob Hill Is the most itv
terestinir to contemplate. Looking toward
ine bay. the quickening 'Ire on Oallfforn
street, where brokers and bankers have
their offices, engages the eye. Over to

but cleaner and more sanitary.
Society Lavish as Before.
.It Is comlns to be. recognized that the
new San Francisco is eolng to be as the
old. it Is the same spirit. Only the
nuiiaing- wiiroe changed, and the people.
not the buildings, make a city. An the
old San Francisco was lavish In enter
taining, so will be the new. . No social

sion that the house has been thrown open
to Eucsts since the sad event.
Th ball is said to have cost the hostess

Into a forest. 'Trees, preens, shrubberv

were visible, the guests dancing as ii

WEALTH Of THE NATION
fontlt.uert T-Tom First Ta
Future Not Figured In.
The estimates oCy all Che visible wealth
of cur country do not take into account
the probable future returns on our Invest
ments, nor the future value of our unde
veloped resources. Even the wildest en-
thusiast could not tell that. And how
many of our business men, how many of
our farmers, would sell out for exactly
what they have invested in their busi
ness?' Not many, you may be sure. It
is equally certain that If Uncle Sam could
be materialised into a -national personal-
Ity lie would decline to sen out ror
$107,000,000,000.
When one remembers how younK this
country Is, and that only 40 years ago it
was torn by Internal strife such as would
have stopped development for a. century
ong any people with less vitality than
the Americans, these -staggering totals of
millions and billions are all the more .won
derful. The South. which suffered so
greatly in that struggle, had an estimated
wealth In I860 of a little over 8.000.000,000,
he most of which was wiped out by the
war. It would be hard to conceive of
any people suffering a greater reverse,
yet look 'at the present wealth of the 11
tates which seceded.
They have not only recovered their
own. but have doubled and tripled their
former wealth, including: even the esti
mate of the value of their slaves. Few
people know that the state of Texas is
now providing- one-fourth of the cotton
upply of the world.
We paid, more than half a billion dollars
to run the machinery of the Federal Gov
ernment last year. but when the final
balances were struck the taxes collected
were over $25,000,000 in excess of the ex
penditures. Although our treasury1 is
bulging with wealth, if Congress shoulA
pass an Inheritance tax law. such as the
President favors, the bulk of the great
fortunes or our millionaires would even
tually revert to the government
Control Swollen Fortunes,
i
I'nder such a law the United States
would receive about half a billion dollars
from the Rockefeller estate alone. This
regulation to control swollen fortunes, by
making them revert to the state would
give us funds to prosecute such schemes
for public improvement as would dwarf
the most pretentious creations of all the
builders of history.
Even as It Is, our national wealth has
already soared higher than the imagin
ings of the most sanguine of our early
optimists. To what extent it will yet go,
even "the most astute of living1 men can
only conjecture. Iet us look to the fu
ture course we shall pursue, lest we be
come vain of our riches and Qulclcly" go
the way of the Caesars, who felt into
decay and disrepute on account of the
hoards they gathered about them.
Let us hope that we shall always "wish
for no victories but those of peace; for
no territory except our own; for no sov
ereignty except the sovereignty over
ourselves. If we can go
amassing wealth and still adhere to
these admirable principles so recently
uttered by our eminent premier. Mr.
Klihu Hoot, the Goddess of Liberty will
long hold up her beckoning light, and we
will continue to be the most favored and
envied of all the children of men.
FAST ON ORLEANS BEACH
Freight Steamer Onondago ot Clyde
Line Is In Perilous Plight.
CHATHAM. Mass.. Jan. 13.-8traying
from the beaten track, the Clyde line
freight steamer Onondaga, Captain Bun
nell, bound from Boston for Charleston
and Jacksonville, struck on Orleans
Beach early today and is in a dangerous
position. .The chances of saving; the
steamer are considered about even.
The Onondaea struck the beach nearly
head-on. The vessel had wandered two
miles oft the course during the night,
which, though cloudy, was comparatively
clear.
Two tugs arrived at the scene late this
afternoon, but no attempt was made to
float the vessel. It expected that the
greater portion ' of her cargo will have
to be lightered before the vessel can be
floated.
At dark tonight the captain shouted
ashore that his vessel was still 1 Ik tit
and showed no signs of breaking up. The
Onondaga is 2153 tons net burden and
carries a crew of 2R men.

AFTER PERCY-GRAY LAW
Proposes Bookmaklng Shall Be Made
Misdemeanor instead or rciony,
and PunisliahJe by Fine or
Penitentiary Sentence.
.NEW YORK, Jan. 13-Dlstrlct Attor
ney Jerome has started a campaign to
eliminate race betting In this state. Me
will ko to '"Albany tomorrow and ask:
the Legislature to wipe out certain sec
tions of the Percy-Gray law.
In. one bill he seeks to deliver a death
blow to thst section which says that -the
only penalty for bookmaking at the track
shall be recovery of the et by a civil
suit- In another bill he proposes to amend
the penal code so as to make bookmaking
at the track or any other place a nVis-
demeanor Instead of a felony, the punish
ment to be not more than one year in
the penitentiary, or a fine or SfiOO. or
both.
Relating to these two bills, the District
Attorney, has drawn a bill to provide for
the income for agricultural societies
throughout the state to receive the pro-
vislon'of the Percy-Gray law.
Instead of getting a percentage of the
receipts of the racing associations, he
says that a certain fixed sum. not desig
nated in the bill as drawn up, shall be
appropriated out of the state treasury for
agricultural purposes.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
Back Taxes Have Been Due for Years
and Road Will Not Slake Re-
port of ' Earnings.
'SPRIKGFIEI.D. Hi.. Jan. 13. The
suit of Illinois against the Illlnoi
Central Railroad will be nied In the
Supreme Court tomorrow or Tuesday.
The court will be asked to order an
accounting. The 3tate cannot ascer
tain, by reason of the complicated rec
ords of the road. Just how much back
taxes to claim, but this will be settled
during the litigation. The company
Is required to pay the state 5 per cent
of its charter line's gross receipts, and
must supply the State Auditor . with
an annual statement of all its prop
erty for the purpose of taxation. The
taxes and the 6 per cent must equal
at least 7 scr cent or the company's
grcss receipts. .
From 1S59 to ay the petition,
the company refused to list with -the
Auditor Its stock,, property and assets
for the purpose of state taxation, and
refused to pay into the treasury an
amount equal to at least 7 per cent of
the gross receipts or Income derived
from the charter lines.
Among the other alleged practices
of the road, whereby the state loses
its share in the proceeds, follows:
Giving mileage books to newspapers
valuei at il.48S.70O; carrying freight
for brmch lines without charging for
terminal facilities for branch linen;
allowing rebates to shippers; collect
ing large sums from foreign roads as
rental for rolling stock and failing to
credit the same to charter lines.
Since 1877 the company has -presented
false statements to the Gover
nor, says the complaint, and has re
fused the Governor permission to ex
amine the road's books to ascertain
the true condition of its affairs. The
bill aaks that the road be compelled
to make a full accounting of -its gross
proceeds, receipts and income.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Some ot the
time of the Senate and most of the
time of the Mouse during- the present
week will be devoted to trie discussion
of appropriation bills The Senate win
conclude its consideration of the legls-
lattve. executive and judicial appropria
tion bill and may reach the Indian bill.
The House will finish Its work on the
fortifications bill and will in turn take
up tbe bill making; appropriation! for
the District Of Columbia and the dlplo-
matlc and consular service.
Before proceeding with appropriation
bills, t.lie House w ill devote Monday to
miscellaneous bills in the Interest of
the District of Columbia. It Is also pos-
sible that the appropriation bill before
the Senate will be temporarily dis
placed Monday by the Foraker resohi-
tlon providing for an investigation or
the Brownsville riot.
On Horn IVKy K?ei time. Floor.
Senator Cullom, who has charge or
the appropriation bill, announces his
Intention not to yield the floor agraln
until bis measure is disposed of. and II

sideration of the Brownsville matter
-will necessarily be deferred.
The proiipecW of receiving Aaalatant
Attorney General Purdye report on
that subject on Monday adds to wllflt
already Holds a keen interest, and a
large attendance may be expected In
the Senate when It is under consider-
tlon. Speeches are yet to be made by
Senators Spooner, Carmark and Stone,
and It Ss not expected . tbat Senator
Foraker will permit the closing ot the
debate without further remarks.
The present prospect la for the prac
tically unanimous adoption of a com
promise resolution directing an Inves-
tlgatlon Into the occurrence at Browns-
vllle and remaining silent on the legal
phases of the question.
In the Senate there will be an effort
to Incorporate a provision in tne legis
lative appropriation bill Increasing: the
salaries of Senators and Representa
tives from 95UOO to S750O, and unless
tills propoeitton causes debate, the leg
islative bin probably will be passed
with but little discussion. There will
also be an attempt to restore the
J-Jouse provision for an Increase of the
salaries of the Vice-President, .the
Speaker of the Mouse and the members
of the Cabinet.
Some of the members of the Mouse
committee on appropriations win try
to secure the incorporation In the for

Incr to the creation of an Island for tbe

Chesapeake Bay, and appropriating for
that purpose about $3,000,000 when the
bill comes up In the Mouse.
Genera! Keefer and Judge Walter
Smith differed sharply over this point
in committee, and when Mr. Smith,
who opposed the provision, prevailed
there, the Ohio member announced his
determination to appeal to the Mouse.
The House Is looking forward with
great expectancy to the decision of the
committee on merchant marine on the
subject of the ship subsidy bill. The
committee will meet on Tuesday, and
members say that the question will be
finally decided on that day. Repre
sentative Watson, of Indiana, who has
consistently opposed the Senate bill, an
nounces his willingness to accept a
compromise measure providing for both
Atlantic and Pacific mail subsidies to
South American ports and for an in
crease of the subsidy to the Australian
line now in existence, as well as for
assistance to a new line from the fa-
clflc Coast to China and Japan. It is
now asserted by the advocates of com
promise that only the opposition of the
supporters of the full Senate bill stands
in the way or a report.
Take Vp Smoot Case 1-Yiday.
The Senate probably will return to
the discussion of the Smoot case on
Friday, when Senators Sutherland and
I il linear ham will -speak In opposition to
the unseating resolution. later, Mr.
Smoot will address the Senate in his
own behalf, and the discussion will be
closed by Senator Foraker.
Senator Fulton will make an effort
during; the week to get the Senate to
fix a day to consider the revised penal
code reported by him last week.

WASHINGTON. Jan. U-President
Roosevelt today made public a report on
"coft keeping in the Government serv

and operated, the report says, will fur

organizations or sold to foreign govern

recommendations have the cordial en

In the wsr that Is oelngf waged he-
