SCISSOR of a considerable sum OF money
obtained Unexpectedly. which. added to
the 81, 100 appropriated by Congress for
the setting up of backstops at the rifle
range of the Guard, will amount to 81 434
the sum demanded by Mckay & Morriss,
the only firm who submitted bid for
the contract this morning, this year s
rifle practice will, in all probability. be
conspicuous for its absence.
Bids Entertained.
Owing to the complaints of residents
on Congress Heights and Hamilton road,
who declared last summer that their
safety was constantly imperiled by
stray bullets shot by poor marksmen, it
was ordered that the Guard must either
find a more secluded spot for the con-
range on Hamilton road with backstops.
For this purpose Congress appropri-
ated s., 100, and April Is the first bids
for the contract were received. Three
contractors sent in estimates. the low

Col. Lloyd NJ Brett, adjutant general
of the Guard, has received an order
from the office of the Military Secre-
tary, War Department, to submit at the
earliest convenience a detailed report
on the strength of the citiZen-soldiery.
He has also been instructed to state the
condition of the militia, its prepared
ness for actual service in case of war,

City Bred Men Want to Farm

never las there been a greater ex- pressed desire. on the part of inbabi tants of the large eastern cities to make homes for themselves in tine country than there is at the present time." .i,
 This is the statement of E. T. Per kins, one of the prominent officials in the government reclamation service, who returned to Los Angeles Friday, after spending the winter in Washing ton.
 "For every acre of land that the gov ernment intends to reclaim there are ten applications for means of ownership and by far the larger number are from those residing in the larger cities and who are now anxious to get a little bit closer to nature. ~
 "To the average person this state ment, admit, will come somewhat in the nature of a surprise, as it is the general belief that the larger number of applications for homesteading the new lands are coming from the small farmers of the east and the middle west who, after selling their farms at good profit over their original in- vestment, and knowing the business, are anxious to commence all over again and make their fortunes in the new west. In the settlement of the middle west, I believe, this was to large de- gree true. jta
 "During the present period, however, the conditions in the cities are more unsettled, and there is a greater am ount of dissatisfaction than was known thirty years ago. The men of the cities, who are now asking the government for chance, realize that they are. only cogs in great machine, built up and resting upon stupendous amounts of capital. They do not see much chance for pre- ferment.
 GO WEST, YOUNG MAN
 "Horace Greeley's Go west, young man, and grow up with the country has not lost one whit of it's significance with its years. It is just as true today as at the time when the words were spoken.
 "The government has plans under way for the expenditure of something like $26, ,OOO, ,0OO in retaining arid lands. It will take years to push the task to completion. but it is to be we'll worth the while.
 "These city born and bred men, Il believe, are not the failures of the city, who will be content to make bare living, but, so far as l can judge, the larger number of the discontents are, as a rule, energetic and anxious to better themselves. The department is every day receiving inquiries as to where information may be gained as to the mode of living, crops, how to raise them, marketing conditions and the like, of the regions now being re- claimed.
 "This information the government will seek to give at the exhibition of the reclamation service at the Portland exhibition during the coming summer"

A Good Suggestion

, MT. c. B. Wainwright of Lemon City,
 Fla, has written the manufacturers that much better results are obtained from the use of Chamberlam's Cnlic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in cases of pains in the stomach, collie and choi- era morbus by taking it in water as hot as can be drank. That hen taken in tlis way the effect is double in rapidity "It seems to get at the right spot insta ntly," he says. For sale by all dealers.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy the
 Very Best

"I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and want to say it is the best cough medicine have ever taken." says Geo. L. Chubb, merchant of Harlan, Mich. There is no question about it's being the best, as it will cure a cough or cold in less time than any other treatment. It should always be kept in the house ready for instant use, for a cold can be cured in much less time when promptly treated. For sale by all dealers.

SAN FRANCISCo's CRUCIAL TEST

The more light cast upon the municipal campaign in
San Francisco the believe that the decent
element of the community "imagnes vain thing" in
hoping for release from the Infamous thraldom of the
RuefSchmitz gang The failure of Ruef to control the
Republican organization in connection with the Re-
publican Democratic union movement evidently has been
overrated Indication of RuefSchmttz weakness.
The kind strength that counts at the polls not that
which appears in the lmeight is the kind that Ruef
depends upon to land his puppet again in the mayora
chair
Note the class of influence that Ruef relies upon.
The editor of the Redands Review gives the result Of
his personal observations in San Francisco few days
ago. He says:
1t seemed significant walking and riding over the
streets of San Francisco to see banner over many OF
the saloons "E. E. Schmitz, Our Choice for Mayor"
The saloons with Schmitz and Ruef in the fight to
maintain a corrupt rule San Francisco Not
single saloon was found opponent
Schmitz Mr.. Partridge 1t is conceded many sides
mayor of San Francisco He is deputy in the office
Of the district attorney and Is young man Of good
candidate, with record for probity and business
lar vote and might have downed Schmz at this crisis
in the affairs of the metropolis of the coast
Not only the saloon influence but every disrepuabe
element in the population of San Francisco is united
to in supporting the RuefSchmitz scheme to
troll the city government another term. On the
side are arrayed, as reported "he many corrupt cor
porations which wish continuance of present cond
tions And it is ntimated that many of prominence
now ostensibly identified with the reform movement
are secretly backing the RuefSchmz combination.
To a close observer 1t looks very much if the
nomination of young Partridge for mayor, as the op
ponent of Schmitz, part of the adro game played
by Ruef. Partridge has much the appearance in the
campaign of straw put up to be knocked down
Only the theory Of Rues sinister influence can the
nomination of the young be accounted for when
it is remembered that there are of citizens
former Mayor Phelan for example, whose name and
standing would have commanded respect and inspired
confidence.

BRYAN TO ROOSEVELT

On the eve of his departure a journey around the
world involving year W. ]. Bryan has written
notable letter to President Roosevelt 1t is political
letter. the author being conspicuous leader of the
Democratic party while the recipient is the unques-
toned leader of the Republican party But is not
partisan letter. 1t is political only in the broad
Of that much abused word 1t relates to subject of
the graves Importance to the interests OF the American
people and to the future of the republic.
1t is not political opponent that Mr.. Bryan writes
to the president On the contrary the letter breathes
spirit Of true nonpartsan patriotism that lifts 1t far
above the level Of party politics. AS an earnest
and willing helper, not rival or an opponent, Mr..
Bryan proffers his suggestions, He to the pres-
dent You have the contest of life before and
desire to render you all assistance in my power"
That expression relates especially to the presidents
policy for enlargng the powers OF the Interstate COM
commission to the control OF railway
freight rates. That policy Mr. Bryan gives warning,
the powerful railway combination will labor zeaousy to
defeat And the power Of the railways in connection
with that of the allied trust interests is almost certain
to attract strong Republican support in congress.
1t is at this point-the parting Of the ways between
the president and the Republican leaders who are in
league with the railway and trust managers-that Mr..
Bryan volunteers stand by the president stand by
your guns" he encouragingy says you have devel-
oped reform element in the party; must lead 1T or
suffer the humiliation seeing the leadership pass to
some one else" And a final godspeed to the presi-
dent in the ordeal that he is about to encounter Mr.
Bryan excalms: go forward You owe it to yourself
you to party and more than all else you owe
it to your country"
Mr. Bryan foresees clearly, what The Herald pointed
few days ago. that the presidents strenuousness
win be subjected to extraordinary test He
has taken the position credited by Mr.. Bryan or a
reform leader in the Republican party He has cut
loose from the political traditions of his party to the
extent of dscardng the influence of magnates and
monoposts. He now as the leader OF the popu
lar element the champion of the peoples interests as
distinguished those OF the class of who hith
erto have dominated the Republican party.
Mr. Bryan voices the sentiment of the Democratic
party in his encouraging letter to the president In his
championship of the in their struggle with the
classes the president stands on substantial Democratic
ground His attitude is object lesson in the funda
mental Democratic theory of popular rights. And SO
long he holds his present position firmly he may
rely upon the continued encouragement of all recognized
leaders of the Democratic party and of the rank and
file of the party well.

NO CEMENT, WORK is DELAYED
Public Improvements at a Standstil Il
Because of Lack of Material.
Nav Use Brick

Public improvements that require
cement have been partially at stand
still for several weeks on account OF
the inability of the contractors to Sc
cure the material. Promises Of cement
have been received by City Engineer
Stafford, but Mr.. Stafford has come to
the conclusion that public works can
not be built by promises and now the
city engineers Office is seriously con-
sidering turning back to brick in order
to relieve the pressure Of the work
that is piling up.
About a year ago the city changed
its specifications from brick to cement
because of the scarcity of brick Since
then brick have become more plentiful
and cement scarcer. BY turning back
to brick for a time at least and per-
mitting contractors to use brick instead
OF cement the work of public improve
noents would be much facilitated In
stead of being tied up as now is the
case say city officials.

PLAN FOR JUNKET TO
OWENS RIVER POINTS
ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL MAY MAKE
THE TRIP
Water Supply Committee Consists of
Five City Legislators and Others
May Take Notion to Join Party,
Paying Their Own Expenses

Plans now are being perfected for
the water supply committee of the city
council, with Superintendent Mulhol-
land and a consulting engineer of
recognized ability, to take the trip to
the headwaters of the Owens river,
October 10. The trip will probably re-
quire about three weeks and during
that time the affairs of the city will
have to take care of themselves as
far as the council is concerned, for the
water supply committee includes five
members of the council. This will
leave but four members in the city and
these may take a notion to make the
trip at their own expense. With any
less than a two-thirds vote no official
business can be transacted.
The problem of providing the money
to defray the expenses of the junket
will probably come up at the next
meeting of the city council, and the
question of a consulting engineer will
probably be settled.
Frank Olmstead, former city en-
gineer, who ranks high in the profess
sion, is most prominently mentioned as
the appointee for the place. The mem-
bers of the water committee have con-
sidered Mr.. Olmsteads name and be-
lieve that he is the man they want.
Options on the Owens river land to
the amount of $4,000 will fall due Mon
day and warrants for this amount have
been drawn on the city's revenues. 1t
was expected that the bond money
would be ready in time to meet these
demands but it will be impossible to
collect on the bonds until after the
bids are opened in November.
The water supply committee consists
Of Ford, Hitler, Harmon, Kern and
Smith. Councilmen Kern and Smith
are recent additions to the committee,
having been added the first Monday
after the water bond election.

AN AIRSHIP FORECAST

Persons who have been unable to see a commercial
future for the arshp will be to revise their
opinions after reading about the exploits the air craft
up Portland That experience gives promise of great
usefulness in serving for mail delivery purposes at the
top Of skyscrapers The arship navigator at Portland
went alot with assorted lot of mail matter which he
delivered promptly and satisfactorily at the top of sew
eral tall buildings newspaper offices, ETC. He expert
enced difficulty in alighting at point indicated by
an address in soaring again and aiming toward
another point the mail route
There is reason to believe that before many years
have passed lofty buildings will be the in business
sections of large cities The structures likely to be
much higher also, than they today. How handy
it will then for persons perched in the tops the sky
scrapers to be served with their mail matter by an
aerial quick-delivery system
But still greater usefulness for the airship is sue
gested on the same general line Occupants of upper
stories in skyscrapers will not be obliged to take
long ascending and descending rides in suy crowded
and sometimes unsafe elevators The occupant of an
