but ii is the hotels and hostelrics of Sen Francisco in 19840 and the early fifties

that this paper isintended to recall, in the belief that the wide contrast between the cheap Inxurious living of today and the prices of that early period may nos bo de- void of general public interest. Perhaps in no other aspect norfrom any other point of view was the composite and cosmopoli- tan character of the population in San Francisco at that time more strikingly ex- emplified than through the national nomenclature of the restaurants of theday, as well as the national personality of their enterprising proprietors,

If #hvre was this wide variety of nation- ality of hotels and restaurants, with their concomitant of varied national character- istics in cookery, there was a singular sameness in prices, no matter whence he came or what the nationality of the host. Theirs was a tariff for revenue only, ‘‘which home industries had to pay forand against which there was no protection.’’

Notwithstanding tha fact that there were cattle in countless herds upon ‘’a thousand hills’’ in those days, though game was in abundance and the waters teemed with fish, yet all these common needs were not yet brought to market in sufficient quan- tity to make them more than luxuries. Of vegetables there was practically none. To put itas a writer in the ‘‘Annals of San Francisco’’ sententiously stated it, ‘In 1549 the announcement of a real cab- bage for dinner would have set half the population frantic with strangely stirred appetites.’’ The justification of this seem- ingly exaggerated remark will be found in the perusal of some of the hotel bills of fure of that day, where the potato figures of hardly less value than ‘‘a golden apple of Hesperides’’ and a plate of cabbage cost 50 cents. In one sense at least ‘‘cabbage heads’’ were far less common in those days than they are now, saying nothing about the other slang sense of the expression, since a nickel will buy a whole one sold at retail big enough to feed a whole boarding house if fairly supplemented by its legiti- mate ally, the toothsome corned beef.

The oid adobe City Hall, which stood on tbe southwest corner of Kearny and Clay streets, was the first hotel of preten- tious proportions and character erected in San Francisco. It was built in 1846. In the days of its greatest glory—in 1849—its bill of fare embraced ducks and quail at from $2 to $5 each, salad from $1 to $2, and eggs from 75 cents to $1 each.

The Parker House, which stood on Kearny street, where the new hull of jus- tice is, was built in 1848-9 by Robert A. Parker. It was a 234 story wooden build- ing, the lumber in its construction costing $600 per 1,000 feet. It went down in the first great fire of Dec. 24, 1849, while un- der rental mainly to gamblers at $15,000 a month... Rebuilt ia. tec gpsng of 1350. it
