TO-NIGHT's FIsIIC CONTEST
THE PHYSICAL CULTURISTS IN
IN FINE FETTLE.
Lawler and McGraw Both Ready
for the Fray, and Both
Confident.

One would suppose from Billy Nc
Graw's clipper manner that he is to
have a game of marbles tonight in
stead of going up against one OF the
| best lightweight boxers in the State.
| The Sacramento lad seems to be in the
finest of fettle for the scrap, and IS
confident of his ability to conquer JIM
ME Lawlor, the victor in many a hard
contest in the professional arena. He
| has been boxing with all kinds OF men
during his training, from the little fell
| lows up to the heavy weights, and his
| friends say he has stood off the best
| and biggest of them.
| Not for a moment has the idea en-
| tered McGraw's head that he is in any
danger. He knows that Lawler is a
first-class man, but he also knows that
he is one of that kind himself, and
while he does not hold his adversary at
all cheaply, he has great respect for
the prowess of Billy McGraw, and his
heart will not be wildly humping in
some out of the-way corner of his body
when he faces the man from the Bay.
To-night's twenty-round contest in
the hall of the Sacramento Athletic
Club will determine who is the light
weight champion of the State. That 1t
will be a square fight is assured by the
fact that it is to be under that club s
auspices. The rules cot the club gov
erning fistic contests are such as to
leave no loophole for crooked work,
even if fighters were disposed to do
business with one another. The club is
very jealous of it's reputation in this
respect However, so far as this fight
is concerned, there is not even tbs
faintest Suspicion of a lack of earnest
ness on the part of either man, and the
clubs patrons may depend on Witness
ing an exhibition that will be a
.corker," as, both Lawler and McGraw
are fast and willing fighters.
Lawler has the reputation of being
hard and game fighter, who keeps af,
ter his man from the sound of the
gong, and his trusty right has often
brought contest to sudden close af-
ter he was apparently getting decidedly
the worst of it. He is sanguine of vic
tory and hopes to win.

the water for the benefit of the trust.
Fourth-To acquire mountain lands
to be added to the catchment areas.
Fifth-To do all such things as may
maintain wise systems of forest and
water conservation and use.
Since the Government has sold the
timbered areas, and permitted them to
be stripped to the serious injury Of
our water supply, it may justly be
claimed that the least restitution it
can make is to set aside the remain
ing lands for the purpose of restoring
and conserving this water supply.
The extent of income-bearing prop
erty which can be made available for
forest preservation and storage or
flood waters is far beyond the general
idea. 1t has been shown that the pub
tic lands and reservations within the
borders of the State of California are
about 6S,000 square miles. 1t would
be difficult to determine the value Of
the pasturage and Underwriting priv
ileges of this area. The fact that it
covers more than one-third the area of
the State, and that upon it large
portion of the stock raised in this and
in the adjoining State of Nevada is an
nually pastured, is proof that it is OF
considerable moment Although pub
lie domain, 1t is used for private pur-
poses in a way that is surely accom-
plishing a ruin of which we have but
an inadequate knowledge. An expert
enced stockman placed the value of
the pasturage privileges of the Yosem-
lite Reservation at $4,000 for the
Gil IF nd of mo-
that sum for ordinary years
Inyo and Mono counties draw rev.
enue of from $4,000 to $1,000 per year
from a "sheep license which they levy
on itinerant herders who pasture
sheep on the public land in those coun-
ties
The Yosemite Reservation is about
1-45 of the public land and forest re-
serve area, and on the above valua-
tions is estimated to be worth at least
$4,000 per year for pasturage alone.
This probably measures a considerable
fraction of the value of the entire
area. If this fraction be placed at one
tenth the gross value of these priv
3leges, it represents a revenue of
quarter Of a million dollars per year,
or A per cent income on 1,25O,0OO
1t must be borne in mind that this
area is now being used by individuals
in such a way as not only to deyas-
tate II, but to seriously damage the
fertile valley lands below the noun
ztains areas. and to threaten cities and
farming communities with ever-in
creasing floods, with the resulting low

4 CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
IT'S ELDER BROTHER BADLY
INJURED.
The Whole Family Of Leon Coz Had
q Marrow Escape From an
Awful Fate.

Shortly before midnight last night a
fire broke out in an open space be-
tween, two two-story frame buildings,
1903 and 1905, on the west side of
Second street, between the brick build
ing on the corner of Second and L and
the brick residence of Joseph Hopley.
In one of the houses boy 3 years
of age was burned to death, and his
12-year- old brother was badly burned
about the back, legs and arms. He
will probably recover.
The building 1905 was occupied by
g. Frenchman named Leon Coz, an en-
ploye of w. X. Cothrin, with his wife.
grown son and six children. When
the fire was discovered the building
was already a seething furnace. Mr..
and Mrs. Coz, being aroused man
aged to get the children out of the
upper part of the house, and the moth
My baby! My baby!"
She met her 12-year-old boy running
out with his shirt blazing, and while
his father attended to him the mother
ran about calling to her youngest to
come to her. The basement was thick
with smoke, and the child made no
response to her agonized cries. While
cropping about in the smoke and dark
just then friends ran in and carried
her out barely in time to save her own
life.
All sorts of stories were flying about.
Some said the baby had been rescued,
and it was not until the fire was al
most extinguished and a search of the
house was made that the truth was
revealed. The body of the child was
found, burned to crisp
The 12-year-old boy was taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Ogden
attended him. The doctor said the
burns were very bad ones, but it was
thought the boy would recover.
1t was pitiful to witness the agony
of the parents until finally they were
taken away by friends and neighbors.
Both are nearly crazed with grief.
The buildings burned like finder,
and the firemen had not water enough
for some time. The first streams were
thick with mud.
The Coz family lost everything, as
also did Junque, the laundryman. The
buildings were nearly destroyed. That
at 1905 was owned by Joseph Hopley,
and 1903 by Fred Shepherd The brick
building occupied by King Silva was
somewhat damaged. The burned build
ings were worth $500 to 81 600 each
perhaps less.
The fire is supposed to have started
from cigar stump or firecracker
thrown from the sidewalk into the
opening between the buildings.

prevailing in corresponding ATTITUDES in
Spain, Italy, Northern Africa and
Asia Minor The same forces, the
same methods, which have stricken
those countries with poverty and deg
radiation are to-day being wantonly
and recklessly put in force here. The
people of those lands are even now
finding congenial employment upon our
mountain slopes and are inaugurating
the same practices which have reduc-
ed the orchards, vineyards and pas
lures of their forefathers to uninhab-
liable wastes.
Thus these vast areas are becoming
more and more barren and less and
less able to restrain floods, instead of
being Systematically improved with the
ever-increasing revenues which they
| can be made to yield.
Mining and agricultural interests are
now confronted with the necessity Of
| organizing to secure State and Gov
eminent aid to construct reservoirs, to-
store flood waters for use during the
late summer and autumn, the increas-
ing rate of run-off not leaving suffi-
| cient water in the streams to serve
their needs. Even if these efforts were
at once successful, the construction of
reservoirs will not answer future
needs. Without forest preservation,
these reservoirs will fill up with sand,
gravel and cobble- stones. Thus these
reservoirs if built, will answer the
needs of only the immediate future.
The only true solution of the ques-
ton is to utilize the revenues which
the pasturage and Underwriting priv1-
leges of the public domain can be made
to yield in protecting the watersheds
from denudation and in conserving and
storing the. water supply; could these
revenues be justly expended for this
purpose, the areas would be ever-in-
creasing in value and usefulness. and
nothing need be asked from the State
or from the Government save a sum
sufficient to inaugurate the work. Il
any better any broader, plan be Of
fered, the writer will bend every en-
ergy to put it in force. There are, Of
course, interests now thriving on the
free use of these areas which, for sell
fish reasons, will oppose any measure
looking to staying the destruction by
which they profit; yet, if our civiliza-
ton is to stand-if this great common
wealth is to advance with the advanc-
ing ages, this devastation must cease;
systematic and economic use of this
wealth must take the place of the
methods now in vogue. History and
nature record no law more inf1exible
mo effect more certain-than that
poverty and degradation follow upon
the destruction of mountain forests.
