N MENTO, Jan. 21.-The integrity
" Of the timber land reserve Of
~ seven million acres recently made
by the Government in the north
ern part OF this State is involved in an
Assembly joint resolution. Howard Of
Colusa is the author of the measure, and
]. d s. Taylor of Sites, vice president of
the California Stockman's Defense Asso-
citation, is one Of its principal sponsors
The resolution embraces a memorial TO
the President of the United States, Con-
gress and the Department of the Interior
requesting that all action be deferred
tending toward the permanent establish
ment Of said reserve pending an investiga-
tion by the Interior Department
Assemblyman Howard and Taylor are
strong in their denials that the memorial
Is intended in any way to interfere with
the permanency of the reservation, but its
wording would perhaps convey very diff
ferent impression to those to whom 1t is
addressed.
Howard, after declaring that there was
no desire to prevent the withdrawal be-
coming permanent, left Taylor to make
detailed explanation.
I'VE want to protect small stock own
ers from the rapacity of any syndicate
that might get a lease from the Govern
ment of the entire reserve" said Taylor.
we are In no way opposed to the reser-
walton being made permanent, but we
want ruling that neither the reserve nor
any portion of 1t shall be leased and that
small stock raisers may Craze their stock
within its confines as they do now. If IL
should be leased as a whole to one syn
dicate, many who are now enjoying the
use of this Government land for grazing
purposes would be driven off.

NEW ELECTRIC LINE
Arrangements Made to Secure Funds
for It's Construction.

1t is understood that arrangements have
been made to secure in this city the money
that will be needed to build the proposed
electric street railroad for the Georgetown
end of the Aqueduct bridge to Great Falls.
As soon as some details can be completed
the active work of building the road will
be begun.
The route has already been surveyed, and
1t is expected that bids will shortly be
called for to do the necessary grading along
the line, which is to be on the Virginia side
Of the Potomac. about midway between the
river and the road to Leesburg. The dis
lance is about fourteen miles.
1T Is planned to erect a power house on a
site that will be selected. probably not far
away from the Virginia end of the Aqueduct
bridge. The total cost will be about
100000, and it is the intention to meet this
expenditure mainly from the sale of stock
although an issue of bonds will be provided
for. The capita lization of the company will
be fixed at about $500 600 in st ock and $500
600 in bond but it is not the purpose to
place at present the entire issue Of either
stock or bonds.
If the present plan is carried out the road
will be completed some time next fall.
