WANTS MORE LIKE HIM

Adm, Cal, August. B. Walker contiri-
ues to increase his timber holdings in the
southern and western parts of the county.
He now owns in his name individually
the holdings lately held by the White
horse Mill and Lumber company, and it Is
believed the assessment roll the first of
March will show total of nearly $4,000
acres in Modoc county alone in the name
Of. the Minnesota millionaire. That a
railroad will follow these immense hold
ings is now a matter Of practical certafn2
ty, as the money invested must be made
productive in some way or other. Which,
ever way the railroad comes it Is very
apt to run through the center Of the coun-
ty and thus increase the value Of all real
estate in the county. #
Plumas, Cal, Demonstrators men like
Walker are desirable acquisitions to
northern California. The Diamond Match
company, the Walker syndicate and few
other capitalists will cause these north
ern counties to expand in wealth. popula-
tion and prosperity. All talk of saving
the timber of the public domain is idle.
Timber reserVess except for a public park
like the YeIIowstone the Big Trees Or Yo-
semitic should not be made in California.
Better far to sell the land and invest part
Of the proceeds in encouraging timber
culture in the Valleys. The country de-
n1ands the timber for building and for
fuel and it will never progress while the
trees are standing. Only few years ago
the country at Vina and in the adjacent
territory was a wilderness, inhabited by
less than a. hundred people. Now IT. is
beauty spot Of the world, from which
the state and nation derives p large
amount of revenue. Had it not been for
Stanford's millions it would have re-
manied a wilderness many years. It is
this class of men that Is wanted. =. -

Gus record in office. He was suggested to
President Roosevelt by Senator Platt, after
two or three good men had declined the

have taken the suggestion ''unsight and
unseen" and the senate also. But at the
last moment, after Plimleys commission
had been signed. though not forwarded to
him, the senate COMMITTEES on appoint

the result that the appointment was ith-

TUESDAY EVENING,

BY the grace Of the powers,4she was per-
mitted to return to Pskfng after her exile
in sher-si province in the far west in a
style resembling monarch returning in
gorgeous triumph from a victory. The
powers did not. in settling with China
after the putting down Of the. Boxers in
1900. take the proper steps to make q
repetition of the outbreakof anarchy i'm
possible. They did not substitute pro-
gressive and capable. government for a
reactionary and corrupt administration
Many reformatory degrees have been Is
sued by TIE -Hsi, but, as long, az. she Is, the
power behind the throne. they are not
worth the paper they are. written on.
There is little doubt that she is authoriz
ing a somewhat vigorous reorganization
of the Chinese army and is putting every
arsenal to work providing munitions Of
war, and Is actively instituting military
colleges for the education OF officers and
arranging for spring and autumn ma
neuvers each year, and it issproposed to
adopt universal conscription to keep the
armies up. The Chinese masses only, need
proper military instruction to become very
efficient fighters. When China gets her
army into an efficient condition and, like
Japan. has a modern navy, she will end
the days when foreign nations can come
and force treaties upon her and seize ter
ritory without ceremony. 4
The danger now is that the anti-for-
eign spirit, which never sleeps in China,
may break out again with great fury and
again compel foreign interference, which
may result in other powers besides Rus
sia and Germany violating the territorial
integrity which is left of the empire, but
against the protest of our government as
a power wll4l Asiatic interests.
