Now Becoming More
Important.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept IL
Oxford Pinchot Chief Of the United
states Bureau OF Forestry. delivered a
lecture IN the old chapel last night on
the subject, Forestry as a Profession"
The speaker strongly urged young men
70 take I'D forestry as a profession and
advocated the establishment OF a school
OF forestry on this coast
The idea has received consideration at
Stanford before by those interested in
that line OF scientific work and IL is IN
dersteod that eventually such a depart
ment viii be created IN the university
President Jordan said this morning that
while the matter had been considered by
the authorities. no step in that direction
would probably be taken by the Board Of
Trustees until after the completion of ali
the college buildings at least Pinchot
spoke In part as follows:
"A man may look forward TO the max
ing Of a decent living but not fortune
in the profession Of forestry. The ma
-ority OF those who have undertaken the
profession have dropped II because they
were not adequately prepared A good
forester should be not only q scientific
man but practical logger.
There should be school Of forestry on
this coast because the forest question
both here and in the Philippines is com
ing 70 be OF the greatest Importance.
such a school should be postgraduate in
order 20 turn out the most thoroughly
equipped men possible. The field OF for
esrry affords a great opportunity 10 young
men al the present time. Fifty foresters
IN the field now could be Of more service
than I'VE hundred some years hence. In
my opinion there is no question that
the demand for foresters will exceed the
supply for some time 10 come. We are
now on the verge Of popular approval Of
forestry and interest In the problem Of
forest preservation is bound to increase.
so far II has proved inadvisable TO i'm
port foresters from Europe. The Ameri-
can forester has 10 be thoroughly &C
Quainted with his country. He must be
able 10 tell man how much his forest
IS worth now and what IL will be worth
IN twenty-five years.
The preservation Of our forests de-
8 pends more on private land owners than
on the Government because the bulk Of
forest development is at present in the
hands Of private individuals. The Gov
eminent has been greatly cramped in its
work through the lack OF a sufficient
corps OF foresters. The United States has
FOUND = necessary 10 put it's forest re-
serves under the supervision Of good men
and the different States must DO the
same"

it was his desire to learn the general at
t-tuGe Of the California delegation on the
subject of irrigation.
1t developed from the discussion that
there exists amoung the California dele
cation strong opposition to the national
irrigation law known as the Newlands
bill The delegation appeared to be Of the
belief that while the national irrigation
law may be a good thing for the arid
States Of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, it
was not a SOod thing for California, since
1t would prevent independent irrigation
operations by this State. 1t IS claimed
that the lands in California which need
irrigation are not strictly arid lands as
understood by the Newlands act, and that
the State should not have to wait for the
slow processes OF the national Govern

ton works.
Several Of the delegates denounced in

BRIGHT COMEDY
PLEASES CROWD

"A Friend Of the Family was produced
at the California Theater last night for
the first time, and before the initial act Of
the clever comedy had been played, the
audience felt satisfied. The piece is a
comedy that really makes one laugh and
the actors are all capable Of catering to
the tastes Of the theater goer, so there is
no reason why "A Friend Of the Family
will not become genuine favorite before
it has been produced many times.
George w Barnum. in the title role
the man with all the troubles-had a part
that is admirably suited to his taste.
From the moment he first made his ap-
pearance till the curtain rang down, he
kept the crowd in one round of laughter,
this by the unique way he tried to dodge
trouble, only to find more of it at every
! turn.
Then Alice Johnson more than pleased
in the role Of the woman who was un-
consciously breaking up a happy home.
She played well and was the recipient Of
many ovations. Emile La Croix as the
French count, was wonder for making
trouble for everyone in the cast. He has
the French accent and the French ways
down to nicely and the way he fused
and fumed around was laughable in the
extreme.
Barry Maxwell. as the minister was a
show in himself, and every time he came
on the stage, ii was signal for a MUIR
muir Of applause and laughter. Cecil Mag
nus, who acted the part Of the friend and
adviser Of the leading man, had plenty to
do at all times and he did 1t well.
The rest Of the company were all ex-
ceptionally good in the roles they played.
Not a hitch marred the work Of any of
the company even though II was a first
night performance. The stage effects are
far above the ordinary and in fact the
whole production is so good that 1t would
be hard TO improve upon it. There is lit
tie doubt that IT will prove popular as long
as il runs.

REUNION COMES
AFTER DECADES
Murray Brothers Now
to Meet in Pleasant
Valley.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WOODLAND. Sept. 12.-The long parted
Murray brothers will have happy reun-
ion tomorrow. Both are now we'll along
in years and have not seen each other
since they were boys
Mat Murray arrived in Woodland this
morning. He came as soon as he could
make the necessary ARRANGEMENTS after
learning that his brother, T. A. Murray
of FL Dorado County, had been here
searching for him. Mr.. Murray will leave
Tomorrow morning to join his brother in
Pleasant Valley.
The Ell Dorado County brother is the
younger and was only 2 years old when
his mother died. Mat Murray looked
after him from that time until he was
old enough to go out to work and take
care of himself. He was working on a
New Jersey farm when his older brother
left for California. They have not met
since that time, and for many years each
was unaware of the whereabouts of the
other The circumstances which led up
to the discovery by the younger brother
that Mat was in Yolo County and in Ill
health were narrated in The Call of Sep
TENDER 8.
Mat Murray trundled a wheelbarrow
across the plains in 1861. He says the
wheelbarrow is still in Cacheville. His
intention has been to have it repaired
and trundle it back over the same route
to the ST. Louis Worlds Fair. His eyes
became so sorely afflicted a short time
ago that he had about concluded that
he was physically unable to undertake
such a Journey. The discovery of his
brother has made it quite certain that If
he again crosses the continent 1t will be
in a Pullman palace car.
He. SAYS 1t will be necessary for him to
visit New Jersey in order to settle some
property matters, but as soon as he can
settle all his affairs and visit with his
brother he will return to Yolo County
and make it his home for the remainder
of his life.
