B radstreet s resume of the year
1903 shows that the bank clearings of
the far western divisions, which em­
brace the cities of San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake
City, Portland, Spokane, Tacoma and
Helena, aggregated <2,851,901,043, as
against <2,561,189.063 ip 1902. Of this
amount San Francisco had 81,522,198,-
488, and copsiderably more than one-,
half of the total increaseof the division.
The great West is rapidly forging

success. They work 235 days in the

leave of a month, and their "sick
leave" of another month, and, aa they
get from <3 to <15 per day for their

A lma M artin E stabrook ’ s novel
in the February number o? Lippincott’s
Magazine more than confirms the be­
lief in her ability to write a good long
story. Short fiction from her pen has
appeared in many magazines and
won much deserved commendation.
"Cousin Patricia," her present novel,
is a tale of modern life. It entertains,
pre-eminently, from beginning to end.
Invention is clever throughout,and the
climax shows a blending of strength
and charm in the writing which is
highly satisfying.
T he S. P. C o . has been making great
improvements on all of its routes lately,
to meet competition, and intends mak-
ng more. It has already expended
85,000,000 on the central overland route,
to gain seven hour* time from San
Francisco to Chicago. It has also fin­
ished the new southern coast roud, and
evidently intends to gain a great reduc*
tlon in time by improvements between
the Sacramento Valley and Portland,
for the northern travel to Oregon,
Seattle and British Columbia, and for
the East via Mount Shasta route.

treason, following the close of the Boer
war, and was sentenced to life impris­

the war, and before he returned to his

return to take his seat that he was ap-,

harsh attitude toward him and hia zeal­

Little Hope for the Safety of the
i
Seaolin.
Vancouver, B. C., Jan. 28.—The lit­
tle steamer Seaolin, for the past few
years operated on the mal! route be­
tween Juneau and Sumdum, is long
overdue and is believed to have been
lost with all on board. It is believed
that at least half a dozen passengers
were on board when she left Wind-
ham bay.. Her crew numbered six
men. Owing to the great violence of
the weather recently along the south­
eastern Alaskan coast but .little hope
for her safety is entertained, She
was built in San Francisco In 1883
and was 51 feet In length and 13 feet
