NEW HOME FOR INDIANS
Lands Contiguous to the Old Pala
 Mission

Riverside-William Collier of this city, special attorney for the Mission Indians, has passed on the abstract of title of the lands purchased in San Diego county for the Warner's Ranch Indians and has forwarded them to the interior department with his ap- proval. As soon as the completed abstract reaches the government, pay ment for the lands will be made.
 The lands purchased are around the old Pala mission with its unique mon- ument, from which is heard the mis- sion bells. The tracts comprise 343S acres, and was purchased from fifteen separate owners tor SAG, 6,230. Of the lands, POPS acres are tillable and the 733 acres irrigable. There are thirty houses and barns on the tract, and at the time of the examination by the commission l36 acres were being irri- gated. The water appurtenant to the land measured on June IS, 1902, 133. 92-lOO inches, and since then has largely increased In addition to the above land the government has given orders to withdraw from entry about ten thousand acres of land contiguous to the .Pala purchase. This tract will le used for an auxiliary reservation. The lands in question are very rich heinz bottoms along the San Luis Key river. They produce large crops of corn, grain, vegetables and melons. It is believed by those who best un- derstand the temper of the Warner Rancl, Indians that they will offer no further opposition to the new home selected for them by the government.

A number of American seaman, who were formerly on the Colombian gunbot Bogota, were offered positions on the Momotombo, but the Americans, having had their fill of Central American warfare, declined with thanks. Several of the seamen were passengers from Panama.

SAN JOSE NAY BE HONORED
POSSIBILITY OF CALIFORNIA'S CAP
 ITAL BEING MOVED
Some Very Substantial Reasons Advanced in
 Favor of the Proposed Move-S!atesmen Were ' Splendidly Entertained,

Sacramento-Thes statesmen have re- turned from their jaunt to San Jose, and the Oneal capital moving plan that last week was considered q joke has assumed the proportions of possibil- ity. From the talk of the members Senator Oneal's constitutional amend ment to move the seat of government to San Jose is very likely to be adopted. Legislators are very amend able :o generous policies of lobbyists and nothing could have been more generous than the treatment they re- ceived from the San Joseans, who spent $40O0 for the pleasure of their guests. There are many strong arguments advanced for the change, in the way of economy to the state. One of these is the fact that if capitol large enough was provided, the enormous expense of maintaining many com missions and state officers in San Francisco would be done away with. The present building is inadequate and antiquated. It now needs the ex- penditure of thousands of dollars to make it safe from devastation from fire, for suitable plumbing, sufficient elevator service and other matters.
 A peculiar feature of the matter is that one of the most effective argu- ments used in favor of the change is that it would kill the possibility of state division, which is logic to many ot these northerners. To Angelenos, who rarely hear of the subject, and few of whom favor it, this fear ap- pears absurd, but the San Jose theory is. if we gel the capital it will remove the objection of the south to remaining in the state. The people of the north do not wish the state cut in two, and they believe the people of the south do wish 1t. Just how moving the capital would do away with this phantasm of division is not quite clear, but much emphasis is being given to the claim.
 There is a disposition among some assemblymen to attempt the defeat of the senate bill abolishing the bank commission. There is very emphatic feeling against thus legislat- ing out of office a man who had in- cured the dislike of certain senators, Shortridge's phrase of it's being "pea. nut politics" conveying the view taken of it by the opposition. What this coterie will accomplish remains to be seen, and will depend largely on the action of the administration. If the governor really wishes tie bill to sue ceed there will be no fight, but other wise the attempt will be made.

Progressive Farming.

IL greatest triumphs until the

deterioration so transparent in
many localities must be super

process, to which the soil has
been subjected, must be climir-

will ultimately restore the land to

Memorial Day on Sunday.

The fact that Memorial Day, April 26, falls this year on. Sunday has aroused much discussion as to whether the me- morial exercises should be held on Sun day or on another day. The United Con federate Veterans at a meeting last night discussed the matter informally and pressed themselves in favor of having the ceremonies on the usual day, it being con- tended that he services were in no way profane but rather among the most. sac red institutions of the Sounth. The Sons of Veterans have individually said much the same thing. A meeting of the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy will occur Tues day afternoon and the question will then be decidel.

Jackson Bridge Repaired.

Trains were operated this morning from Mobile to Selma for the first time since the Southern Railway bridge over the Tombigbee river near Jackson, was badly damaged several weeks ago.
 Since that time trains have been run only from Selma to Jackson and return and from Jackson to Mobile and return it being necessary for passengers to be transferred across the Tombigbee on boats Now, however. the regular sched- ule between Mobile and Selma and Bir- mingham will be resumed and main- tained.
 It had been expected that the bridge would be repaired by April 15. but 1t seemed at one time as If the delay in receiving material would keep the bridge in an impossible condition for longer time. It was therefore a source of con- siderable qualification that the Southern would be able to resume traffic so soon.

Superintendent Foreacre Leaves.

The announcement that w. N. Fore acre, Superintendent of the Southern, would leave Selma to accept the super intendency of the Atlanta Division of the Southern has practically been veri- fled by a bulletin posted by the officials of the road advising employees that J. J. Cotters authority would supercede that of Mir. Foreacre.
 1t was authoritatively stated several days ago that MT. Foreacre had been transferred and would assume his new duties at once but for some reason the change was postponed and for some time 1t was thought the rumor had been er- roneous. But 1t is now certain that he Is to be moved, MT. Cotter having been tn- ducted into the office of Superintendent. and being in charge of the office.
 MT. Eoreacre has been superintendent in Selma for two years, and has a large number of friends who regret his depar- ture. MT. Cotter comes from the north end of the Mobile Division where he was trainmaster. He is said to be compe- tent railroad man and will no doubt win a warm place in the hearts of Selma people.
