That It la a most striking and remarkable per formance must be admitted, but the real inequality upon the seat of war Is hot ao great aa at Qrst thought It might aeem. First, let oa look at the Dutch side. The nnmber of men of military age (10 to GO) and of physical aptitude In the two states Is probably not far from 55.- 000. Add to these the Dumber of boys TTPICIX so n souintoa. under 16 aad of men over 00 who are bearing arms, and this nnmber will be I acrea sed by about 5.000. T o these must be added the foreign legions—the Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Ameri can* and even men of Scotch and Eng lish origin who are serving under tbe flag of the Dutch states—and you will have not less than 5,000 more. T o those most still be added thP acces sions from the Coers of Cape Colony, Natal and Becbuaualand, probably not less than 15,000 men. and yon have an aggregate of £0.000 men. a i*orrnl<lflbIe army. Second, except In the matter of drill and discipline they were well prepared for the war, well supplied with small arms of the beat patterns, with nu ade quate supply of the best modern breechloetdlug cannon ant] quick Are and machine guns and an abundance of unexcelled ammnnltloo. No nation ever went to war better prepared. The United States at tbe beginning of the Spanish war eonld not compar** with tbem.

The San Joaquin Valley Commercial association Is taking steps to preserve the famous Calaveras grove of big trees, owned by J L.

It Is the Intention of the new owner*, ac cording to a Stockton (CaU dispatch to the Los Angeles Times, to erect several Urge sawmills In CaUrenu county, and they will then tarn all of the Urge trees, which hare been one o f the points of Interest to visitors.

President Buell of the San Joaquin Valley Commercial association has ap pointed a committee to secure all data possible on the matter and a report will be presented at the next session of the association at Merced. Feb. 6. Buoll has also commnnlcated with tbe California Water and Forest assocU- Uon and the Sierra club, calling atten tion to the situation and requesting their assistance In saving this wonder ful grove from destruction. The committee wilt also communi cate with Congressman De Vrtes to learn If something cannot be done at once by congresa to save the Calaveras big trees, which are famous the world over, lie will be urged to have a na tional park set aside, to Include tbe sequoias, as baa been done In Mariposa aad ToUre conntlos. where lumber men got within striking distance of the big trees In those sections. No effort will be spared by the valley association to keep the trees from falling under the ax of the lumbermen who have se cured control of tbem. laJanaeats at Ce*-«»!• eatd Caaare Beat Frasa Hew York Ahnoraaatlr tairca For Maay Moatha — Choice Delicacies of tfco Boer Palate—Pood Stored 1st Umm» facet Iron BoJJd- la«*.

At first sight It might seem that New fork commission merchants were scarcely competent to solve this prob lem, but It Is believed that their opin ion Is of much greater value tbdo that Of any other class of export merchants, because their opportnniUes to form a conservative judgment have been so much more favorable. The extent of American trade with the Transvaal, especially In the matter of cereals and foodstuffs, according to the stntemcnt of one versed lu the statistics of inter nal fonal trade, was something of which the American people had nr. just con ception, says the New York Post It was added that tbe Boers and South Africans generally, although nominally fanner*, raise very little of tbclr own food, but are fed almost entirely by foreign nations.

If the British succeed In, getting as far as Pretoria or Johannes burg and attempt to lay siege to the cities, they will discover that tbe in habitants will suffer little from tbe lack of food, that their granaries are fairly bursting with the products of American and Australian farm* and that In all tbe other food staples of wartime, such as canned tveef, the Dutch arc plentifully provided. \I base tbese conclusions upon the examination of my own books. My firm sends great quantities of flour and ennned goods to South Africa every year, and especially to DeUgua Bay Port Natal, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth, which are the chief porta of entry to the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. 1 have never known tbe South African trade to be so brisk as It has been during the past year and especially the past few months. **It was perfectly apparent that the Transvaalera were ordering a great deal more stuff than thejr could readily consume, and the trade In that direc tion has for some time been looked up on aa abnormal. •Take the case of flour exports, for example. Flour, under the moat favor able circumstances, can hardly be pre served over a year, but In spite of that fact the Afrikanders have been In creasing their orders during the past few montha In a most surprising way. In the year 1S00, according to my fig- ores, some 300.000 sacks of flour were •ent from New York to Delngod Bay and about 400.000 sacks to tbe other South African ports, a large amount of which also finds Its way Into the Trans vaal. **Thls amount Is about twice the nor mat annual trade ID flour. The Urgest fiour shipments ever known were sent In April and May. which are not ordl nsrily busy months In tbe South Af rican trade. 1 know one firm that sent 50,000 racks a month tn the spring of last year, and the shipments of other New York concerns were equally large. \Other commodities than flour, how ever, have been sent In vast amounts to South Africa during the past few months.
