COUNTIES IN SOUTH.
FOR G|LLETT.
Republicans Expect a Big
Majority From Lower
Section of the State
LANGDoN's POSITION
By Hugh NJ. Burke.

Leading members of the Republican
State executive committee are receiving
reports from the south which cause the
prediction that Gillett's majority in the
counties south of Tehachapi will be
nearly $4,000 The registration in Los
Angeles County is $4,000. and a major
ity of 10000 for the Republican State
ticket is predicted at party headquar-
ters. The dissensions in the south ap-
ply mainly to candidates for local office.
General George Stone is convinced that
the nominees on the State ticket will
not be affected by the Independent
movement.
1t is admitted at Republican head
quarters in this city that the Bell SEN
timent in the Napa Valley is quite
pronounced, but it is not stronger than
the committee expected Napa is Bells
home county, but it will not give him
anything like the majority which Hum
boldt, Gillett's home county, will give
to the Republican cause.
Reports from Shasta are to the effect
that Langdon has quite a Democratic
following in that county. If the stand
ard bearer of the Doodle Dees should be
pulled down by q decree from Boss
Hearst. or Jockeyed out of the race by
failure 10 get l0,UUU names 10 HIS pCti-
ton. the position of Bell In Shasta
County would be improved
The sidetracking of Langdon would
tend in other counties to "a distinct
alignment of Republican and Demo-
cratic forces. Many old-line Repuoli-
cans, who had nothing but censure for
the raw methods of the machine at
Santa Cruz, would line up for the Re-
publican cause as against straight
out Democratic assault on the political
works.
1t is common gossip in political cir
cles that Phelan's conspicuous advocacy
of Bells candidacy will not increase the
latter's vote in the strongholds or or
ganized labor II is suspected that
Phelan is organizing a campaign for
election to the United States Senate two
years hence Many of the Democratic
war horses are predicting that Bryan
wave in 1908 will sweep into power

over the fence since the retirement OF
Cleveland

HILL IS ENCIRCL|NG
VAST FORESTS

Railroad and Gnancial men OF this
city busily discussed yesterday the se-
curing by James j. Hill of an option
on the Bay Farm Island property for
the entrance of his new line from suite
into San Francisco, nlarveling at the
cleverness with which he had outwit-
ted T. H. Hartman and kept his enor-
nous land purchases a secret, which
even the thousand detective wires of
the Southern Pacific could not discover
until too late to check. -1ili's securing
of immense timber tracts from the land
department of the Southern >acific.
and thus receiving from Hartman him
self. who would give much to keep
the Northern railway builder out of
California entirely. an annual lumber
tonnage which will guarantee support
to- his new line, as told exclusively in
The Call of yesterday. is regarded in
local railroad circles as the biggest
accomplishment OF his genius mind
The laugh; is on Hartman at the pres
ent time for having unwittingly hand
ed over such valuable traffic assets to
his most hated rival.
Yet James u Hill's cleyerness did
not end merely with the secret pur-
chases of these timber tracts, Through
7. B. Walker in California he has COM
pletely encircled great forests with
survey lines, excluding Hartman from
ever being a factor in shipping the
lumber that is manufactured in one
of the richest timber sections of North
ern California
Walker has been surveying around
these forests during the last two years
and the building of the little lumber
railroads that he has announced from
time TO time was none other than part
OF Hills great scheme to keep Harri-
man out of the business
Not only in California, but in Oregon
as well, is Hill preparing to surround
his forests with railroad lines. In this
way he plans to prevent the Southern
Pacific or the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroads from entering and
tends to- be the pioneer in the develop
ment of these particular big Western
timber tracts and he will have mills
and logging camps established along
his lines before. his rivals awaken to
his intentions.
At the present time Hill is incor-
porating line to build from Kalama,
on Columbia River, to point near the
mouth OF the river and thence. north
ward through the forests of South
western Washington. Rudolph Wey-
erhaeuser is his agent for this work.
Wherever there is a strategic freight
point Hill is seizing it ard blocking
lis rivals from entrance. In self pro-
lection, men largely interested in Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul are buy
ing UP timber tracts which their road
will tap for fear that Hill will gobble
them for his own line.

ure for him and he has done several
along the same 1ine~, showing that ii
is the result of a definite aim. The
composition is very simple. The color
scheme is that Of a certain dark mass
of green, emphasizing the prismatic
quality Of a very luminous lighter
mass. This gives us mentally a feeling
of a stormy afternoon at time of year
when we have storms In the han
ding of the clouds there is much of
Mr.. Keith's usual style and his broad
method, but the nearer foreground is
what some might call worked up
In this case however. it is simply that
he has carried his detail to a point
where it balances the broken masses
of the sky 1t is a most impressive
picture, true to nature and highly
Characteristic, and I feel that it is one
of Mr.. Keith's most successful can
vases.
To give an idea OF the many can
vases Mr.. Keith novt has on hand is. of
course, impossible. But they include
abput all of the general phases of na-
ture from bright sunlight TO moon
light. and from a calm morning in a
meadow TO storm on a mountain top,
where we can hear the thunder rolling
over the eternal snpws and breaking
the solemn silence of. the high places.
Eugene Neuhaus has decided that
Sacramento is not such a good place
after all. 1t is too far from San Fran
cisco. Not far in miles, perhaps, but in
nf7uences-particular artistic infu-
ences. For that reason Mr.. Neuhaus
has decided to come back. He will not
open a studio here just now, but will
first spend a few weeks at Monterey
getting material for a couple of COM
missions. Somehow, when an artist
goes to Monterey he GOES not feel that
he is very far from San Francisco.
There are so many links and associa.
tions that bind the two places together
that one feels at home all the time.
Monterey is an artistic annex to the
metropolis of the Pacific Coast, while
any other town seems to make an artist
feel that he is out of his element as
soon as he finishes few sketches.
Then he wants to get home.
The picture that Thad Welcir placed
on exhibition in Rabjon's gallery a cou
pie Of weeks ago has been sold. This
picture is as good as anything that
Welch ever did and IS an early morn
ing effect in the hills near San Geron-
imo. The purchaser is Harry Bishop,
the well-known theatrical man.

KEEP OUT OF THE 4EAGrE.

VALLEJO. Sept. 30-EmpIoye Of the
Mare Island navy yard, after a discus
sion, have turned down the request of
the recently organized League of En-
ployes of Navy Yards. founded in New
York City, which asked that the local
central body urge it's delegates to am
late with this new organization. The
League of Navy Yard Employees was
founded primarily for the purpose Of
including in one body all of the en-
ployes of the navy yards of the country
in order that matters of interest To
Government workmen might be
handled under one head The local
union labor leaders feel that the Areri-
can Federation OF Labor has done well
by the employees of the navy yards and
that this body Is fully competent to at
tend TO the grievances OF the Navy De-
partment workmen.

the request. but other bodies or the
county together with organized laoor,

that the first batch Of Chinese to enter

After having mourned. each other as
dead for five months, each believing
that the other had been killed in the
san Francisco earthquake of last April.
James Turner and Miss Mabel Porter,
Mis- sweetheart. met face to face on
a train between Omaha and Denver

his sweetheart's home had been de-
stroyed. He was subsequently, told
by a boy that Miss Porter and all the
members Of the family with whom
she lived were dead and that their
bodies had been taken from the ruins
Turner recently came East and was
surprised TO meet Miss Porter on the
train.

MAY FRANCHISE
MANY REFUGEES.

If the present plan of the Park Com
missioners to force the 500 refugees
camped on Alamo Square to leave there
is carried out 2s5 voters who have reg
istered from the homes they have built
will be disfranchised and great hard
ship will be inflicted on the people
of one. of the best planned and most
orderly camps in the city.
INDUSTRIOUS ELEMENT.
The people in Alamo Square are the
families of mechanics and represent the
most industrious element of the city s
population. Since they have been To-
Gated in the park they have been en-
tirely Independent of the relief commit
tee and have made no requests of the
Red Cross. In fact, so self-sufficient in
the best sense of that term have the
folk on the Alamo been that they have
been lost sight Of practically, and now
their position is in jeopardy largely on
that account. The heads of the fami-
lies have found employment in the city
and have spent their Sundays and holi-
days in erecting semi permanent homes
In the square, buying building mate
rials with their own earned money.
They have complied with sanitary regu-
lations and are comfortable. Unless the
Board of Supervisors should rescind the
all this meritorious work will go for
naught.
Citizens who are familiar with the
character of the dwellers in Alamo
Square and the work they have done<in-
dependent of outside aide to improve
their own conditions. are surprised az
the order of the Park Commissioners
especially in view of the act of the
Commissioners in permitting the St
Francis Hotel Company and the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee to occupy
without hindrance Union Square, which
is in a more conspicuous part of the
city. In point of department and good
citizenship the people who live in
Alamo Square are as desirable folk as
those who dwell more pretentiously in
Union Square.
OUTSIDE RENTS TOO HIGH.
I'VE would not be here a day." said
Samuel j. Brown yesterday, "if we
could get houses at anything like rea-
sonable rents Such houses are not
to be had We have therefore made
our surroundings as comfortable as
possible for the winter 1t will be a
great hardship If we are forced to
move"
To make a determined stand against
their proposed removal, the Alamo
Square people met yesterday, organized
and appointed a committee of ten to
properly present their case.
Samuel ]. Brown, a member of Car
penters' Union No. %. was made per-
manent chairman. He stated that the
object of the meeting was to get the
residents of the park together to pc
tition the Park Commission through
the Relief Corporation for permission
to put houses up in~the park and TO
remain there until August /, 1907,
similar permission having been given
the refugees camped In other parks.
The meeting decided to ask the Re
lief Corporation to erect houses in the
square for slch refugees as cannot
build for themselves. as is being done
in the other squares of the city. The
following committee OF ten was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions and pre-
sent the case of the protesting refu-
gees: Samuel j. Brown, F. c. Won In
hoff, R. f. Osborne, G. W. Longley w
Leon, ]. F. Robinson, w. Whosen.
