children and church meet face to face.
Then there are the students of history,
the writers OF romance, the dreamy poet,
all interested in this monument to lost
people.
And there are the school children Of
San Francisco. VINO at last are acquiring
some knowledge of the history of the
big virile West. They may have the op-
portunity Of wandering through the old
adobe church, of peering into the queer
old attic. noting the great beams tied
together with rawhide. the bells-gifts
from the Kings of Spain-hanging from
huge oaken yokes, thong-fastened; of
studying the grctesque paintings upon the
east wall. done in segments by different
and, Indifferent artists of Mexico of view
ing the queer decorations of the ceiling,
doae in the lightning designs by the
Indian children of Francisco Palou. All
these and thousand other things, will
appeal 10 these little San Franciscans,
who will thus imbibe practical lesson in
patriotism, and a few lessons in charac-
ter-study not set down in the approved
course of study"
Now. that these things all may be, van
dalism must be stamped out now and for

demnation of the thieving relic-hunter,

more-a caretaker will be put in charge
Of Mission Dolores. who not only will
watch you-and you mustn't be offended
thereat-but win tell you something of
the history of the place, and something
Of its traditions.
And then will San Francisco have
partly atoned for her apathy toward a
noble heirloom in whose incensed corri-
dors she was nurtured.
And should any good San Franciscan
feel inclined TO assist in the matter of
providing for the caretaker at the old
Mission. his contribution would be much
appreciated and duly acknowledged.
And thus would he prove his patriotism
TO be of that highest and rarest type
the patriotism that touches the pocket.

FILLS IN GAP.
President Creates New Forest Re-

President Creates New Forest Re-
serve in Cascades.
Washington, May 22.-The president
will soon sign proclamation creating
the Yakima forest reserve in Kittitas
and King counties, Washington, en-
braeing nearly 1900 square miles of
land. This reserve will include the
summit and slopes of the Cascade
mountains and virtually all the timber
country between the Washington and
Rainier reserves.
When this proclamation is signed
there will be one continuous reserve
following the Cascade mountains from
a point few miles north of the Colum-
bia clear to the British Columbia boun-
Diary.
Running through the Yakima reserve
is the Northern Pacific land grant, en-
bracing alternate sections. These lands
will not be included, 80 the forest re-
serve will be one immense checker
board, although for practical purposes
the entire area of railroad as we'll as
public lands will be brought under the
care of the government. The Northern
Pacific sections will be worth little to
the railroad when the reserve is Great
ed, and it is possible some plan will be
devised whereby the government can
purchase or otherwise acquire them in
order that the Yakima reserve may be-
come compact body.

FERRY BOAT RUNS AWAY.
Loaded Down With Excursionists 1t
Smashes Into Wharf.

San Francisco, May 20.-The lives of
over 1000 passengers, most of whom
were women and children on their way
to the annual picnic of St. Dominic 8
church, were endangered today by an
accident on the ferry boat Tamalpais.
Running at full speed, the boat, with
engines entirely beyond control, crashed
into the dock, ripping out piles and
woodwork and throwing the frightened
passengers into wild panic.
A break in the engine room was re-
sponsible for the accident. When the
captain gave the engineer the signal to
slow down, 100 yards from the ferry
slip, the levers gave way and the boat
ran at full speed straight into the dock.
Realizing the impossibiiity of averting
a crash, the officers drove the Grove 8
back from the forward deck and SOUND :
ed the danger signal to attract the en-
ployes on the wharf.
The steamer struck with a terrible
crash, but hawsers were thrown aboard
and, though the engines we're still run
ming at full speed, the apron was low
cred and the frightened crowd rushed
ashore. Several women tainted during
the excitement.

MINE CAVES IN.
United Verde in Arizona Is. Reduced
to Ruins.

United Verde in Arizona Is Reduced
to Ruins.
Prescott, Ariz., May 23.-Millions of
tons of rock and earth caved in at noon
today in Senator Clark's United Verde
copper mine, at Jerome, Ariz., the
ground dropping from the surface to
the 700-foot level. Cracking timbers
gave the alarm and 30U miners fled for
their lives and escaped uninjured.
For several days the ground has been
settling and timbers creaking. Today
with a mighty crash the earth caved,
carrying with it the new shaft, levels,
drifts and slopes. From assures on
the surface come clouds of sulphur
smoke from that part of the mine which
has been on fire for several years.
The extent of the damage cannot as
yet be ascertained, but if it is as bad
as feared the great property will be
closed and the existence of Jerome
will be doomed. The hoisting works,
which are over the mine, have settled,
and the machinery cannot be worked.
The smelling plant has a's> been shut
and all activity ceased.
The officials of the company take an
optimistic view of the situation, and
say the damage is not irreparable, and
the smelter will BE- working again
within month.

Russian Embassy Without News, Al

Paris, May 2s.-A sensation has
been created here by the circulation of
report that advices have been received
by well known firm of French bank
ers, who have been active in the past
in floating the Russian loans, from
their confidential agent at St. Peters
burg, stating that Admiral Rojestven-
sky has died of dysentery and that Ad-
miral Nebogatoff has assumed command
of the joint fleets of Russian Far East
ern waters.
The report caused a semi-panic in

trace it or to determine where it origin.
ated. At the Russian embassy the
agent of the Publishers Press was in
formed that, while they had heard such
a report, they had received no advices
of that character from the home gov.
eminent, and the secretary declared
that, if such report had been received
at St. Petersburg, it would have beer
communicated to the embassy without
delay. He was not inclined to believe
the rumor, although he admitted thai
it might be 80.
On the other hand, persons best &C
quainted with Admiral Rojestvensky'
condition declare that the report may
be we'll true, as the last information
received from the Baltic feet stated
that he was very i'll and had to have {

CANAL POLICY UNCHANGED.
Plain Statement is Given Out From
- War Department.

Washington, May 23. - The follow
ing statement was given out at the War
department tonight:
''No little amusement has been cre-
ated in the administration at Washing
ton and among it's friends over the at
tempt to distort the facts about the
Panama purchases, and especially in the
attempt to show that under pressure
there has been an alteration in policy.
Ever since Secretary Taft and the
Panama commission, with the presl-
dents approval, announced their in
tention, there has not been the slight
est change, and all statements to the
contrary have no foundation whatever. !"
The statement seems to indicate some
difference of opinion between the pres
ident and Secretary Taft regarding the
policy of purchasing supplies for the
Isthmian canal wherever they can be
secured at the lowest prices.
After the policy of buying supplies
either in America or abroad had been
announced, great pressure was exerted
by the and-patters" to have the
ndGGoI lGlG lOT uoGcIuludGlOh VI COA-
gress. Speaker Cannon was at the
White house and urged this course on
the president. The matter was pre-
sented to the cabinet meeting Friday
and the subsequent intimation given
that concessions had been made the
-protectionists to the extent that
only necessary material would be pur-
chased until an opportunity had been
given congress to enact legislation on
the subject. This is now followed by
a declaration from Secretary Taft that
there has been no change of policy.
There will undoubtedly be renewal
of pressure upon the president either
to have supplies bought from American
manufacturers at increased prices OF

STATE ON CREDIT BASIS.
Referendum Petitions Stop Projected
improvements of State Institutions

Salem - The filing of the petitions
for the referendum upon the general
appropriation bill with the secretary
OF state, throws the state upon it's
credit until the next legislature makes
good the deficiency, unless the people
see tit to sustain the action of the last
legis lature and adopt the measure at
the June election of 1906. The gen.
eral appropriation bill carries total of
81, 454 1880, and the invoking of the
referendum upon it not only blocks the
progress OF the normal schools, inclu-
sion OF which in the bill was the direct
cause OF the = referendum movement
against it, but also seriously impedes
the contemplated work of Improvement
and enlargement of the asylum for in
sane and other state institutions, which
depend upon the appropriation for
maintenance.
All this raises the question of what
action the secretary of state and MEM
bers of the boards of trustees of the
different state institutions will take
upon the act adopted by the last legis-
lature, providing that all employees of
state institutions, educational, penal,
reformatory, eelymosenary, etc., shall
be paid monthly, instead of quarterly.
This act prescribes that at the end of
each month and upon presentation If

superintendent or other authorized Off
cial to the secretary of state, accom-
panied by surety bond in sufficient
sum to cover all liability, the secretary

STANDARD PIPES IN KANSAS.
Connections Completed to Reach Halt
Across the Continent.

Across the Continent.
Kansas City, Mo-. May %. - W. F.
Gates, of Independence, Kan, superin-
tendent of all the pipe lines of the
Standard Oil company in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
said today:
"We are preparing to take care of all
the oil production in the Kansas field.
The Whiting, 1. T., pipe line will be
completed in few days, and then we
can handle all the oil produced west OF
the Mississippi river"
The Standards pipe line at Whiting
from its Sugar Rock refinery is nearly
established on the outskirts of Kansas
City, and will be completed next Fri
day, according to officials who have
visited the local plant. The Whiting
line, the construction of which was be-
gun last September, is to supply an
outlet for 100000 barrels of oil
stored by. the company at Humboldt,
Canea, Ramona and Needesha, Kan.
At Whiting the pipe line will connect
with the company's lines to Bayonne,
N. j., thus completing line that will
reach half way across the continent.
The effect of the completion of the
line to Whiting will be that the Stand.
ard Oil company will be able to handle
rs 900 barrels of oil day. Already
pipe line superintendents of the com.
pany are laying out new plans in an.
ticipation of the completion of the
Whiting line. One of these lines will
run from Paola to Rantoulo. The con.
struction forces of the company are also
working on an order, recently issued,
for the construction of $50 tanks of 35,
!, 900 barrels capacity each.
