ROOSEVELT AT
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, May 13.-Heartier
greeting was never given President
of the United States than that offered
yesterday by the city OF San Francisco
Ato Theodore Roosevelt. Through miles
and miles of dense!y packed, cheering
periodically enthused humanity the
Nations chief passed, bowing his ac-
knowledgements. evidently tired from
maintaining an erect position in his
carriage, but huoyed up by the impress
siveness 0: the demonstrations. 1t was
a magnificent ovation and one that will
doubtless vividly remain in the Presi-
dents recollections of his eventful tour.
Among those who welcomed him
here was Admiral Bickford of the Brit
ish Pacific squadron. who conveyed
the good wishes of King Edward and
said that the arrival of the flagship of
the squadron to assist in the greeting
is another instance of the cordial re-
lations existing between the two Ma
tiOns.
President Roosevelt said he appre-
cated the evidences of friendship and
begged that his good wishes be given
to his majesty.
In the parade the line was headed
by troop OF cOlOred cavalry, tnlS be-
iEg the first instance in the West where
negro soldiers held the position of hon
or in public procession. Following
the President came United States
troops from the local posts sailors and
marines from warships in the harbor
and at Mare island, regiments of the
state militia and number OF anti-mil-
itary organizations. A notable feature
was the fancy marching of the Cleve-
land Greys, who came from ohio to
participate in the California greeting.
After reviewing the parade, the
President was driven TO the y. M. &. A.
building, where a throng had assem-
bled to participate in the burning OF
nortgages and notes representing the
total Indebtedness of Sl152S0 upon the
property. The President by request
touched lighted taper to the docu-
ments and as the flames licked up the
papers he Joined with the assemDlage
in singing Praise God from Whom All
Blessing Flow
The President then made brief ad-
dress.

Fighting Rance Diseases.

State Veterinarian Seabury of Wyo-
ming has adopted vigorous measures to
stamp out Texas itch, Spanish itch,
rang itch, mango and lice among cat
tie in Wyoming. The diseases have
for some time been making rapid prog
ress N this state and now tfe stock
Cwners will be compelled to observe
the az pay the penalty.
Snte Veterinarian Seabury has is
sued a circular letter to all stoclimen,
in which he says:
owing to the failure of stock own
ers to observe the law. the diseases
named are increasing and can only
be eradicated by strict compliance with
instructions.
Then follows a definition Of itch in its
numerous forms. together with the
manner of treating the disease, best
kinds of dip to use, etc.
Failure upon the part of owners to
rid their stock Of disease will result
in the state veterinarian or his deputies

pens for the work will be assessed
against the stock, which will be held

Total cash to credit Of the state s.s9Sli
The committee, composed of Horace
Fl. Mitchell, II. O'Reilly and b. f.
Richardson, recommends the appoint,
ment of a travelling auditor to inspect
the state institutions and the county
offices so far as they appertain to
state affairs They recommend that
for the benefit of the treasurer's Of
flee more comprehensive system of
reports be established by the auditor
for the insurance department and sug-
gest that the state treasurer is the Of
fetal who should collect the fiat tax
rather than the auditor, as at present.
That dancing halls should be sup
pressed is the opinion of Secretary f..
*. Whitehead of the State Bureau of
Child and Animal Protection. He
says that the majority of the wayward
girls who come under the jurisdiction
of the bureau attribute their getting
into mischief to their visits to this
class of resorts. The associations
which the young find at these halls
are of the worst possible sort, says
Mr.. Whitehead, for many men go there
with the express purpose of getting
acquainted with young girls and pur-
suing that acquaintance as far as they
may. The girls tell the officials of the
bureau that near the halls are saloons
which have private rooms attached,
which are patronized by dancers.
Holders OF delinquent claims against
The state, created during the last five
years, will rot all share in the benefits
of settlement. Scores of these claims
have been filed with the auditor since
the announcement that $4,000 is
available for the purposes of settle
ment. More than twice this amount
is claimed by those who have already
presented their vouchers Many will,
therefore, be disappointed. Some of
the banks hold large numbers of re-
cent claims. AS the payments will be
made in order of seniority, these will
not be reached until more money is
available.
The State Land Board will extend
its policy Of obtaining all the money
to which the state is entitled by leas-
ing all of the land that is now used
as free range if tenants can be found
This means that stockmen will have
to confine themselves TO government
lands for free grazing, In all parts OF
the state the land granted for the
schools and for public improvements
has been for many years used by
stockmen without Interference and
without rental. This will be stopped
as far as possible and the amounts to
which the state is justly entitled will
be collected.
