SOUTHLAND IMPRESSES
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
RETURNS FROM TWO
WEEKS TRIP
Speaks Enthusiastically of the Prog
ress of Los Angeles and Vicinity
Conditions Prosperous In the Sac
ramento Valley
BY Associated Press,

SACRAMENTO, Feb S.-Lieutenant
Governor Anderson has returned to
Sacramento after a two weeks vaca-
tion trip in Los Angeles and the south
ern part of the state. Business exigen-
cies prevent Mr.. Anderson taking a
vacation at the usual time of the year
and the present excursion was entirely
free from business objects.
AT the same time" said Mr.. Ander-
son, Il kept my eyes open and every
thing was looking splendid. In fact,
there was not a single discorant note
audible anywhere. The country has had
plenty of rain and is in fine condition,
and there is every reason to expect a
prosperous season. The south in gen.
eral, and particularly Los Angeles,
continues to progress and build up even
faster than before. They estimate that
they now have a population of 230, 900,
and they claim that this is increasing
to the extent of $4,000 people annually.
Fine and substantial buildings are
going up upon every side, buildings
that would be credit and an orna-
ment to any city in the country. I
called upon the chamber of commerce
that has been one. of the great progress
sive factors of the place and had sew
eral interviews with the secretary and
other officials.
$50 far as the Sacramento valley is
concerned 1 am looking for fine condi-
tions here. Every kind of fruit is look .
ing splendidly with the exception of
apricots. If nothing untoward should
happen there is no doubt that we shall
have good crops with the one excep-
tion that 1 have named. The trouble
with the apricots is probab bly, due to
the extreme heat that prevailed last
July and that injured the buds on the
trees and as a result they have not
budded up quite as they should have
DONE All districts report plenty of
rain for the present and with a normal
assured. With the usual amount of
water the season will be an early one,
even earlier than it was last year"

MOROCCAN CONFEREES
WILL REACH AGREEMENT
so ASSERTS CORRESPONDENT
AT ALGEcIRAS
Most Important of French Claims
viii Be Admitted-EquaI Rights to
All Nations Will Be Observed
Regarding Open Door

Special Gable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb. S.2-The A1geciras corr
respondent of the Standard asserts the
Moroccan conference will certainly
reach an agreement. He quotes as his
authority an unnamed ambassador,
who added the arrangement would be
satisfactory as regards Europe, but
unsatisfactory to those who know Mo-
rocco and who have looked forward to
her wealth becoming a world asset.
The correspondent says he has learned
the agreement will admit the most
important of French claims, that is,
organization and control of the police
and armed forces of Morocco. Polit-
ical preponderance which France will
thus gain will in some way be sub
ject to an international supervision so
as to guarantee in spirit as we'll as in
letter of conference decisions. Re-
garding the open door, equal rights will
be observed. The correspondent adds
that the United States is playing a
leading part in the difficult negotia-
tions for establishing of this agree
ment and deserves much credit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The
following is a summary of the

which the house voted today:
The bill, according to Mr.. Hep

4 debate on the measure, was in
tended and did, so far as 1t could
be made, he said, comply specifi-
cally with the recommendations
of President Roosevelt on the rate
question. 1t gives the Interstate

+ and reasonable, and fairly re-
/ mum erative, which is to be the
\ maxium rate to be charged.
This rate, so fixed, is to go into
s effect thirty days after it is an

b ject during that time to be set

mission or by the courts. After
it has gone into effect it is to re-
4 main the rate for three years.

I participated in the debate that
/ the rate may also be reviewed by
4 the courts and if found to be in

Another important feature is the

This power to name a reasonable
