' Our local regard to the receipt and distribution of millions of | nsurance money are regarded as probable important fae- | t n the New York money market for some time to come. The! ase of the situation here and the smoothness with which we passed | gh the trying conditions subsequent to the fire have produced and pleasant impression in New York. Reports from there | that the discontinuance of our long period of legal holidays 1d the formal resumption of general business in this State were! waited to render the general ecommercial status of the country defined f more | The realization of our importance as one of the ancial centers of the United States is one consolation, at which we may extract from the late disaster, which in this| rection has been a most beneficial advertisement of our commercial | importance. Conditions here are as good as expectable under the adverse | circumstances of the past forty days. The local bank clearings in| April up to the date of the fire on the 18th were $107,847,591, against $148,828 672 for the full month of April, 1905. The clearings in May | were $50,620,021, against $146,281,511 in May, 1905. These figures iteresting as showing the financial conditions existing in this| city during the long period of legal holidays succeeding the fire. As| comparisons with preceding years, however, they are of little value, | owing to the extraordinary conditions which have prevailed here dur- ing the past six weeks. Business conditions throughout the State are favorable. Crop prospects are rendered somewhat uncertain by the remarkably late rgins. - These have caused some damage to tender fruits and mown | hay, but have been very beneficial to the standing crops, orchards and vineyards and green pasturage. The country everywhere is un- usually green, bright and smiling, owing” to these late rains, and, | taken as a whole, the farming outlook is bright. The city has suf- fered a severe blow, but the country is in fine condition. 0 A COMMENDABLE BOARD.. Supervisor Gallagher, acting chairman of the Board of Super- vigors when it unanimously passed to print the reduced municipal budget at its meeting on Friday, is evidently determined to show the | cityy that the administration intends to practice the most rigid economy in its conduct of municipal affairs during the forthecoming fiscal year. The spirit shown in his attitude is highly commendable and will be applauded by all fair-minded citizens. Heads of different departments waited on Gallagher and pro- t‘ester! against any reduction in the appropriation for their re- spective departments. Some even wanted more, and all were in- sistent. But Gallagher stood firm. ““This is a time to save, not to spend,”” he said, and went on to state that the assessment roll had been curtailed over $200,000,000, or ‘almost 40 per cent, yet in the very face of this some heads of de: partments were complaining because their appropriations had been cut. The finance committee had asked the head of every office to keep his expenses down to the last dollar for the benefit of the people, yet each is clamoring for mére money. He had no patience with such people. This is the kind of talk San Francisco likes to heéar just wow. Supervisor Gallagher evidently stood for the whole bhoard in’re- sisting the importunities of the heads of the departments, and the community will not be slow to appreciate his stand. “Sentiment in this country -does not favor Gorky,” says the Philadelphia Ledger, “but it would be far from favoring a scheme for surrendering him to Russia.” Don’t know about that.

Special Dispatch to The Call SANTA ROSA, June 3.—The first strawberry and cherry crops of this part of the State were , practically ruined by the recent heavy rain, but the growers are expecting a larger and better crop later as the result of the moisture. The strawberry crop was just at its best and would have been heavy. The early cherries have been cracked open, spoiling them for any use. Black and Logan berries are now coming in. They are of fine quality ’ind give promise of a very large crop. There are a large number of families in the county from San Francisco for the fruit-picking, and there will be no lack of help anywhere. The conditions are favorable for large crops of all kinds. Hay is being cut and is yielding heavily, and all kinds of farm products are in first-class condition. The suc- cess of the farmer this year depends on the prices the crops will bring. £ il L VALLEJO AND NAPA VALLEY ROAD TO BE STARTED SOON ‘Work on Proposed New Steamship Line ‘Will Be Commenced Next Month.

NEW YORK, June 3.—A dinner was given last night by the Tariff Reform Club at the Hotel Astor to inaugurate a movement to return to Congress at the next election members pledged to tariff reform legislation. Letters of re- gret were read from former President Grover Cleveland, Alton B. Parker apd Henry Watterson. Watterson said in his letter: “God speed the day of our redemption from a protection which underlies all | sorts of dishonest money-making and has done more than all other agencies to corrupt the morals of our people and our polftics.” Mr. Cleveland wrote: “I am convinced that the value of our principle of wholesome tariff| reform ‘Wwas never more éasty made apparent than now, and that there was never more opportune time for its earnest ad- vocacy. Other topics, which just mow Seem to have the known possession of popular consideration, will prove but temporary and evanescent when the truth is brought home to our countzy- men that they daily und hourly are tha victims of an evil underlying nearly all the economic abuses Which stealth- ily and unrelentingly betray the inter- ests and welfare of the many for the benefit of the selfish and pampéred few.” Mr. Parker wrote: “The more the question has been con- sidered the clearer it has become that a, protestive tariff has been a fruitful, nourishing mother of all our serious evils, . Its malign influence has made possible the corruption of the electorate with money furnished by the grateful but easily alarmed beneficiaries.” ————e e BUILDING FOR Y. M. C. A.
