SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, April 81
San Francisco will be reconstructed on
new lines. Engineers are at work
preparing plans which will make the
city a model. The streets will be
widened and parks and boulevards
will be provided which will make a
repetition of the disastrous fire impos-
sible. From all over the state will
come assistance and capital will come
as soon as needed. Within a month
Market street will be lined with tenn
porary buildings.
To Repair Steel Building
The Chronicle building the Claus
Spreckels building, the Shreve build
ing, the San Francisco Merchants
Exchange, the Crocker Building, and
the Union Trust company building
will all be repaired. Donkey engines
are at work in many places where
the ruins have cooled, removing debris.
Electric street car service started the
ferry to the outlying residence Sec
tion All the bushes section has
been temporarily moved to Fillmore
street There is every indication that
it will return downtown. All the
banks plan to rebuild on their old
sites. A phenomenal advance in

Favoritism is Denied.

In majority of the complaints, the
:sheepmen set forth that they had not
been allotted territory according to
their rights and to force a new allOtt-
ment more favorable to Oregon sheep
interests it was freely inSinuated
through newspapers of the northwest
that the forest reserve officials had
shown favoritism to the Washington
stockmen. This is resented by H. B.
Shelter, superintendent of northwest
forest reserves, and Chief Ranger
Schmitz of the Wenaha reserve, who
pointed out that the allOttments
made at the Walla Walla meeting,
were made by the committee of %
men selected from among the sheep
and cattlemen of oregon and Washing
ton attending the meeting at that time.

Range Was Overtaxed.
The allottments made at the Walla
WaIla meeting provided for the graz
ing of something like 100000 head of
sheep and $4,000 head of cattle in the
Wenaha reserve this year. In 1905 the
reserve was overstocked and the for
est reserve officials limited the number
of permits so as to preserve the graz
ing value of the reserve. In conse-
uuence the applications of a number
of Umatilla county sheepmen were cut
down along with Washington sheep
men by the committee.
Some of the CompIainants.
Among these were the Cunningham
Sheep & Land company. j. S. Hoskins
and ]. F. Connolly. who filed COM
plaints which are being taken up and
heard this afternoon. ]. NJ. Burgess
president of the Cunningham Sheep
& Land company in his affidavit al
leges that he only made application
for 1910 head of sheep at the Decem-
