It was then said to have been financed by French capital furnished by Charles Mayne, a capitalist and banker of San Francisco. Alex.

The piles were brought down from Oregon in sailboats, find were discharged on the east side of Goat where the -wharf-Is-now- located, and our rowed over there every morning and towod some piles to this side for the wharf.

Each year in our modern life the gift question becomes more and more perplexing.

If figures and statistics could be obtained the huge sums of money wasted each Xmas on foolish gifts would be astounding but a "Partnership" with the Durants solves the entire question. There can be nothing more acceptable than a partnership in an industry that is one of the West's most important and growing rapidly. This gift would be an incentive to the recipient to build.

Wan, otherwise known as Wan See Mon, Fong "VYan's uncle, passed the old Imperial literary Kxamlnatlon of the first degree In Medicine. He also passed other examinations -'by which he gained the first and second military Consequently, his official standing was the highest of all the herb. doctors in America.

Dr. Wan came to the United States as a member of the diplomatic corps of the second Chinese minister to Washington. If lie were still living he would now ho nearly a century old. After the expiration of his official commission, he conducted a herb business at 1133 street, Han Francisco, before the earthquake and fire. Fong Y'an resided and worked with his uncle for several 7 from turn After-the Fan FranclRco earthqu his establishment having been destroyed by fire.

Dr. Wan accepted the appointment of Chinese Consul in New York. Fong Wan, however, remained in California and established a herb company of his own at 209 Fourth street, Santa llosn. Later ho removed to Oakland. The peculiar idea of Dr.

Wan, Ilka that of many of the older herbalists. naSlhat In order to be popular and wldely known, he must cultivate the friendship of government officials and of the heads of big firms. He frequently Invited this sort of people to dine, and treated them handsomely. These officials and nien of prominenco In return jvrote hiiu recommendations as remembrances, and as ornaments to bang on his walls.

Wan's office fairly teem with them. Among thes. official certificates and recommendations was one given by Yu Ting Fang, minister to Washington, and one by 1A Wing Yow. consul-general at San Francisco, while others bore the signature of officers of certain largo business firms. Sometimes these certificates were written in Knglish and sometimes in Chinese.

Frequently they bore an inserted photograph of Dr. Wan, marked with an official signature. Doubtless they impressed people of a certain type of mind. However. Fong Wan regards such recommendations differently, tie looks upon them as of no more value than waste paper, and would prefer not to have any such official certificates hanging on bis wall to obscure the pattern of his wall paper.

In order to make himself well known It 1s his purpose to relieve as many sufferers as possible. He regards a single recommendation from any ordinary person restored to health through his herb treatment hs of far more value than a whole roomful of official certificates given by persons who know nothing of one's skill. Recommendations of tlie genuine sort, written by relieved sufferers, are coming in daily to Fonjf Wan from all directions. In order to gain renown, one herb doctor In the Bay Cities claims to have (Cured the Chinese Emperor, while another says that he cured the Viceroy of Kwong Tung. Fong Wan, on the other hand, claims only, to have relieved the thousands of sufferers, rich and poor, great and small, that have-eomo to hini-for-help; He-is kept so busy relieving common people that he has no time to search out Emperors and Viceroys.
