BT Now that the Eastern people, many of whom are supposed to be homeseekers, { are coming into the Statc in large num- bers, the singular fact is discovered that |out of fifty-six counties less than one | score have made a move to place any lit- | erature In this city describing their ad- | vantages to the inquirers. This was as- | certained by a visit to the State Board | of Trade rooms in the ferry building. ..t that place one would naturally expect to get all the necessary information about the State, and that is the main consid- | eration that called the institution into ex- | istence and gave it a location where it | would be in easy touch with all newcom- |ers to California. Many counties that | sent in their publications some months or | years ago have since failed to renew the supply, and the result is that they are un- represented at the time when knowledge about them will be eagerly sought by thousands. When Becretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade was asked yesterday | where the responsibility for this condition | of affairs rested he promptly said that it | was on the counties that had failed to keep themselves at-the front. He had per- sonally been to several counties recently. asking them to get out literature of the descriptive and statistical sort for use in San Francisco, and also at the Pan-Amer- ican Exposition at Buffalo. “‘One county, San Luls Obispo, respond-, ed with promptness,” sald Mr. Filcher, “and has within the past few days sent to { the board certain publications that may | | be of advantage to it. Of course, the State Board cannot show literature to visitors if the countles do not forward it for dis- tribution. Often when requests have come from the East by mall for information | concerning_some particular section the | board has been unable to furnish it. The | only remedy that I know of is for the { counties to issue pamphlets at the earliest | possible moment. | “The board has no desire to discrim- | | inate, and does not, but when there is a | | demand for information the board hands out whatever it has. The counties repre- | ] sented thus have the advantage in adver- | | | | tising their resources over other sections.” | These are the only counties that are ! ready to hand literature to the visiting eekers in this city: Sacramento, 0, Tulare, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Napa, Humboldt, Santa Clara, Mo San Luis Obispo, Téhama, Santa Barbara,Inyo, Orange, Riverside, Los An- | | gel Tuolumne and San Francisco. There | are localities in are represented by descriptive matter at | | the State Board of Trade, these being Capay Valley in Yolo, Haywards in Ala- meda and Wyandotte and Thermalito in Butte County. The showing will be sur- | prising to the State at large. i ree other counties that | B'NAI B'RITH GRAND LODGE DISCUSSES ENDOWMENT | |1 B Number of Changes in Laws Pro- posed and Referred to the Leg- islation Committee. At the second session of the Grand ige of the Independent Order of B'nai ith yesterday the following proposi- tions were referred to the committee on legislation: To the abolish day an the board of rellef; to change of opening the Grand Lodge from to Monday; to repeal the law requir- ¢ the funds in bank; to amend permit past presidents, who sentatives to the Grand Lodge, office of trustee; to amend the the ritualistic work at funerals ntended by a district deputy, one speclally ap- 1 for the purpose. An amendment to the laws, which was , gives past grand presidents right proposition to pay a claim to the named beneficiary of a member who at the time of his death was not in good | standing was voted down.

Never be- fore in her history has the Mariposa been making such good time as she is now. On | the run to-Honolulu she beat the China, the crack boat of the Pacific Mail fleet, The China sailed twen- ty-four hours ahead of the Mariposa, but the former vessel had only just tied up at her wharf at Honolulu when the Mari- posa came along. It blew a gale the | whole way to Honolulu and it took the China nearly seven days to make the run, while the Mariposa went down in five days, twenty-two hours and forty-two minutes. On her way home she beat even that time by two hours and twenty-two minutes. Among those who c¢ame up in the cabin of the Mariposa were: Miss Harriet Lewers, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lewers, Mrs. J. H. Cralg and two children, J. H. Payne, W. E. Ransome, Miss M. B. Killean, Mrs. Augustine, Mrs. Fulcher and daughter, A. Jacobs, H. Kimball and wife, E. B. Beard, Mrs. W. A. Hard E. Miller, A M.

The wreck of the British ship Pyrenees as it now les in the harbor of Manga Reva, in the Paumotu Group, was yester- day sold in the Merchants' Exchange to Eschen & Minor for $25. The captaln thought it would at least bring $2500, but it was only by the greatest perseverance | that the auctioneer got the small sum he | did. The Pyrenees left Tacoma on Octo- | ber 14 last with 3750 tons of wheat and | barley. On November 16 a fire broke out in the cargo and an attempt was made to beach the vessel on Pitcairn Island. This failed and she was then headed for Pa- peete. The fire got worse and worse, and she was finally beached at Manga Reva. From last accounts the fire was out and the masts still standing. If the vessel is flooded, however, the wheat and barley will swell and probably burst her decks o n About twenty-five vears ago the ship | Ada Iredale went ashore near where the wreck of the Pyrenees now lles. She was | loaded with a cargo of coal and caught | fire, It was only when the last scrap of | coal had been consumed that the fire went out. The hulk then drifted ashore and the late A. Crawford secured it. He sent to San Francisco for spars and rigged the vessel up at Tahiti and salled her here. She was thoroughly refitted, and as the bark Annie Johnson is now one of the best known vessels on the coast. e e Scare on thz Pike County. The schooner Pike County was on fire esterday and as the flames were very | the crowd on the wharf sought safety in flight. The fire tugs Governor Irwin and Gevernor Markham were summoned and | with the aid of a chemical engine the blaze was smothered. The vessel was only slightly damaged. - Water Front Notes. Reinsurance rates took a jump yester- day and three of the overdues are practi- cally uninsurable. The Andrada, out ninety-nine days from Santa Rosalla; the | Bertha, from Wei-Hal-Wel, and the Cape Wrath, from Callao, all for Portland, are now quoted at % per cent, while the Ardnamurchen, seventy-eight days out | from the Frazen River, for Liverpool, is quoted at 65 per cent, and the Henry Hackfield, 1589 days out from Philadelphia, for Nagasaki, at 15 per cent. The steamship Humboldt i& out of her | winter quarters and is once more ready for service. She leaves next Thursday, frem Mission-streat wharf, for Eureka, and from there she will go to Seattle. From Seattle she will go on"the Skaguay run during the season. s si o TR NEWS OF THE OCEAN. | Matters of Interest to Mariners and | Shipping Merchants.

John Goodnow, United States Consul | General at Shanghal, addressed a meeting | of citizens at the Chamber of Commerce | yesterday on “Our Orlental Trade and the | Present Situation fn China.” He spoke | in part as follows: | ‘““There is no town or city in the United | States so interested in the trade of the | Orient as San Francisco. It means every- thing to this city and to this’ coast. How to secure this trade and how to retain it | are questions which we must consider. I| think that it would be a good plan to es- tablish at Shanghal or some other point | of equal prominence in the Orient an ex- hibit of American merchandise, not as a matter of immediate profit, but for the | advertisement which it would afford. “‘There is one thing which the people of this city must attend to. They myst have their perishable goods properly packed. They have to go through several changes | of climate and are in great danger of he- ing spoiled. California produce, such as butter and fruit, is extremely scarce in the Orient, and commands in exception- | ally Ligh price. Great quantities of goods | from this State are lost through defective | packing.” ., m———— Merchants’ Association Meeting. The Merchants’ Assoclation will hold its | regular quarterly meeting at the Acad- emy of Sciences next Wednesday evening. | William M.
