WON'T CHANGE TO DEWEY.
Proposition to Rename Kings High
way Finds Opposition.

ST. Louis May 21-The proposition to
change the name of Kings highway to
Dewey boulevard is not popular among
the members of the board of public inn
prOvementS. Those who were asked for
their views on the matter yesterday
spoke very strongly against the prOpOS-
ed remaining. All agreed that it would
be patriotic and cOmmendable to name
some street after the hero of Manila,
but Kings highway, they thought,
should not be selected, for several rea-
sons, one of them being the fact that it
is distinctive thoroughfare, designa-
ted in a manner different from any 9TH
er street. Another reason given is
that it is a historic thoroughfare and
that any alteration in it's name would
destroy its identity. President McMath
stated his objections very willingly.
Kings highway has a historical
connection with this city, and, in fact,
this whole western country that is
worthy of great consideration" said
he. True it was named after a king,
but the American people are not mar
row-minded and that fact should have
no weight. Many explanations have
been given as to how the street receiv-
ed its name. When this portion of the
country was owned by Spain, the king
decided certain tracts of land to differ
emit persons, and the portion that he re-
tanned was known as the Kings do
main. The Kings highway marked the
dividing line between the Kings do
main and the land of private individu-
ais. All the land west of the Kings
highway, through to the Pacific ocean,
belonged to the king. Thus the import
ance of Kings highway at the time can
be seen. 1t appears on all the old maps
and is directly connected with the
TONS history. For this reason, if no
other, I would vote against changing
the name of Kings highway if the
matter should come before me in a
manner which called for an expression
of opinion. There are many other
streets that might be named after Ad-
miral Dewey"
An objection made by one of the
commissioners was the amount of work
the remaining would necessitate on city
maps used in the different departments.
In one department alone the name of
the street would have to be altered on
5000 maps.
The concurrent resolution requesting
the mayor to designate a street to be
named Dewey boulevard was referred
to the committee on public improve
ments in the council last night on Mr..
HeckeIS motion.

FIGHT FOR PASTURE.
Herdsmen Aiming to Occupy Nation
al Parks.

Washington, May 21.-The condition of
affairs in the California national parks
on account of trespassing herds is
growing serious. 1t is not practicable
to designate troops to guard these
parks as heretofore, owing to soldiers
being called away on account of hos
tilities and herders are taking advant
age of their absence. Supt. Mckenzie,
ing of Yosemite park, says many thou
sands of cattle and horses have passed
through the park He is also credfbly
informed that sheep herders propose to
hold the ranges by forces of arms
against all corners, the herders thus
first reaching the ranges keeping out
other herderS.
Those in charge of the 1ocks, he says,
have been supplied with fire arms by
their employers and he fears the park
may become the scene of a fierce strug-
gle. Many of the herders and some of
the owners are Portuguese and Basque
and are capable of lawlessness under
present conditions. If the herds once
scatter it would be difficult to put them
out while a proper patrol now could
prevent their entrance. Twelve men
properly mounted and armed, he thinks,
would be sufficient for Yosemite park.
AS Sequouio and General Grant parks
are also open to invasion it is felt by
Secretary Bliss that patrols should be
established to protect all of them. To
that congress amend the sundry civil
appropriation bill so that the appropri-
alton for the improvements of these
parks can be available for their protec-
ton. The proposed appropriation for
each park is 81 900.

WATER FOR WELLINGTON.
Prof Haworth Makes a Report Which
is Far From Encouraging.

Wellington, May 21.-Prof. Haworth,
geoIogist of the state university, has
been here investigating the water sup
ply of this region. He entertains 4
very decided opinion that a sufficient
water supply cannot be secured in the
Rock Island bottoms or nearer than the
Nennescah, Arkansas, or Chikaskia
valleys.
He says all this country is underlaid
by a slate formation through which
water does not pass; that the water in
the Rock Island bottoms is simply what
is accumulated there in a depression or
basin in a sand formation, over the
slate formation; that the water is
drained into this basin from a compar-
atively limited area, and that there is
not enough of it to supply the city with
water for any considerable length of
time. He positively advises against
spending any money in prospecting
near the city, because he claims it is a
physical impossibility to secure water
in sufficient quantities.
Stated briefly, Prof. Haworth's opin-
ion is that Wellington cannot secure
water supply this side of the Nennes-
cab, Arkansas or Chikaskia-
In discussing the feasibility of re-
sorting to either of these sources, he
advised against the idea of construct
ing a reservoir on high hill because of
the difficulty of pumping the water up
into the reservoir. On the other hand

BUFFALO BILLS AUNT.
The Woman the Goulds Have Had
Arrested Known in Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, May 21.-Margaret E.
Cody, the woman who is charged with
having instigated the suit brought
against the heirs of Jay Gould by Mrs.
Sarah Ann Angel some months ago
and who was arrested in New York, on
the eve of her departure for Europe,
for blackmail, is we'll known by old set
tiers here.
The Codys lived here in 1857, '58, SO
and go. Elijah Cody kept a grocery on
the levee between Delaware and Cher
okee street and Mrs. Cody kept the
leading millinery store on Delaware
street. She was then young, being old
Elijah Cody's second wife. They NOV
ed out to Salt Creek valley and kept
tavern at what is now known as Cody
Precinct. Then they went to Colorado
in the early sixties. William F. Cody,
Elijah Cody, and lived with them in
Salt Creek valley.

he advocated locating the pumping
from it to the city as nearly on a level
as possible. This would require the
least possible force to pump the water
into the city.
Prof. Haworths conclusions make
the supplying of the city with sufficient
water gigantic undertaking. To con-
denim and pay for the present water
plant, or put in a new one, put in a
pumping station on the Nennescah for
instance, then lay the mains into the
city and pay for the right of way,
would cost anywhere from $175,000 to
1925, 600.
