SAN FRANCISCO AID.
Interesting Statistics Furnished by the
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco.-Accordin to the re-
port of the statistician of the Southern
Pacific, that company. up to and in
cluding May 18th. had handled free
into this city 1,G35 cars of supplies for
the relief of the fire sufferers.
Sixty-seven cities and towns of the
Golden State gave a carload or more
Of provisions to the Southern Pacific
|. to transport to San Francisco within
ten days after the disaster. Hardly
less remarkable is Oregon's record.
Down over the Shasta route twenty
two Oregon cities sent a carload or
more of supplies to San Francisco be-
fore the end of April.
OF the eastern states sending gen.
erous contributions in carload lots, Ne
braska secured first place in the num-
Der of cities contributing carload or
more. Up to the end of April, twenty
three cities and towns in Nebraska
had forwarded a carload or more each
of provisions for San Francisco.
The largest single item carried was
flour, of which over 5000 tons were
brought to San Francisco between
April 18th and May 10th. In the three
weeks succeeding the fire the potatoes
delivered aggregated 1877 cars. or fif-
teen pounds for every inhabitant of the
city. Canned goods amounted to about
ten pounds each. The provisions and
supplies that had no other designa-
tion totaled over $4,000 tons before the
10th of May, or sixty pounds for ev-
cry resident of the city.

MORE GAME wARpEns.
Commissions Sent to Government For
est Rangers.

Denven-Large numbers of game
wardens' commissions are being sent
from the Office of State Game and Fish
Commissioner ]. NJ. Woodard to forest
supervisors and rangers in the employ
of the government Under late
announcement of the forestry depart
ment at Washington forest supervisors
and rangers must q t as state game
and fish wardens, and they are given
the same power as all other wardens
to make arrests without warr;.nt. For
est supervisors have received instruc-
tions from the department by which
they are employed to furnish lists of
the rangers to the state game and fish
commissioner, and as fast as these
lists are received the commissions are
being mailed.
All this means that in this state this
years and henceforth there will be a
much more rigid enforcement of the
game and fish laws than in the past.
Upon the forest reserves are squads of
rangers who hereafter will be required
to keep sharp lookout for violators
of the law. Severe punishment will
be meted out to those who fail in their
duty in this respect.

PREssYrERIANs UNITE.
Joined in Presbyterian Church Of the
United States.

Des Moines.-'I do solemnly declare
and here publicly announce that the
basis of reunion and union is now in
full force and effect and that the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church is now
reunited with the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America as one
church"
With these words uttered before the
General Assembly Thursday, May Gath,
Moderator Hunter Corbett officially es-
tablished the union of the Cumberland
Church with the Presbyterian Church
in America.
The big ecclesiastical assemblage
burst into a storm of rejoicing. Hand
clapping, cheers and waving of hand
kerchiefs gave expression to unalloyed
pleasure. The consummation devoutly
wished and worked for through many
years, despite many obstacles, had be-
come a reality.
The only men who voted against
union were DIR. William Laurie of
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, and Rev.

Grand Opera At Home.

Grand opera at home via your teie-
phone receiver is New England and
New York scheme. A central power
plant Is to be established wherefrom
music by electricity is to be trans
mitted through telephones to the
houses OF the subscribers. A hat-
terry of alternators IL to be Installed
which will transmit musical electrical
waves and these are sdjustsi to as
many different vibrations as tie
strings Of piano. To play the instru-
ment piano keyboard is used. The
pressing Of key will operate switch
which will close the circuit leading to
the alternators adjusted to produce
the note that the piano string would
produce. But the note will be sound
ed In the ear of the operator from the
battery itself. The vibrations will be
communicated to the main wires, which
will transmit them through branch
wires to the other end Of the tele-
phonea There the note will be SQUAD
ed. One OF these receiving telephones
Will be connected with the operator SO
that he will know how his playing
sounds to all others connected with
the main wires. The receiving te!e-
phones will be fitted with a mega
phonelike device warranted to carry
the notes through the room as well az
an organ would. The woodwind. brass
and string tones Of the orchestra are
easily produced by mixing the required
harmonics In the required proportions.

Lesson from Figures.

The United States every year ex-
pends about s14O,00O.00 in pensions
for wars that are past and somewhere
between s1s0.OOO.0OO and 5000, 0,oOo, ,oOO
In being prepared against wars Of the
future. In the last fiscal year there
was paid out for the naval establish
ment $122.0O0,00O: for the support OF
the army and the military academy,
$77.000.000. Taken altogether, pen
sions, the navy and the feet called for
$S4O 100000. A comparison between
the costs of the arts of war and the
arts borne by the government is af-
forded by the fact that the agricultural
appropriation for the last fiscal year
was $5,942,O40. The comparison is
made even more striking when we
realize that from 1889 to the present
day. counting the present proposed ap-
preparation. the aggregate apprcpria-
tion for the department Of agriculture
are s65,737.272 or $4,000 900 less
than was expended on the army last
year. Yet we are peaceful nation, de-
pending largely on agriculture for our

RIO CRANOE CASE
WATER CONTROVERSY WITH
MEXICO SETTLED.

ers UpheId-opening Of Grow In
dian Reservation In Montana.

Washington. = The Colorado dele
cation has succeeded in effecting sat
isfactory settlement of the long-stand-
ing controversy over use OF the head
waters Of the Rio Grande river in Colo
RADIO for irrigation purposes.
In 1896 the Mexican government
made claim upon the United States
for $1O.000.00O damages for diverting
by irrigation the waters Of the Rio
Grande. Pending consideration of this
claim the Interior Department re-
fused to grant applications for water
filings from the Rio Grande and
stopped construction of the proposed
Elephant Butte irrigation enterprise.
which led to long controversy in
courts.
rigation Company of Colorado filed an
application for reservoir site and for
use of the Rio Grande waters. 1t was
rejected by the Interior Department,
whereupon Representative Brooks took
the matter up and appealed from the
decision of the department. His ac-
ton was indorsed at mass meeting OF
settlers and land owners Of the San
Luis valley, held last fall, and since
that time Brooks has been laboring
with the Geological Survey, the State
Department and the Department Of
Justice to try and obtain recognition
of the rights of settlers to waters OF
the stream in controversy.
Thursday the State Department in
structed the Interior Department that
no further objection remained to
granting rights for reservoir sites and
an order was made by which the Inter-
ior Department will now admit all res
ervoir and canal filings for waters of
the Rio Grande, pursuant to field sur
veys based upon actual applications
made prior to 1908.
This action practically let's in all
the principal San Luis valley filings
and will prove source Of great benefit
to residents of that part Of Colorado.
A proclamation was signed Thursday
by the President for the opening of one
million acres of land in the Crow In
dian reservation, Montana, to sale and
settlement. The proclamation desig-
mates Billings and Miles City, Montana,
and Sheridan, Wyoming, as places for
registration, which will extend from
June 14th to 2sth. The drawing will
take place in Billings July I'd and en-
tries will be received at the rate of 125
daily, commencing July 18th.
The lands will be sold at 81 per acre,
81 down and the rest in four yearly in
stallments, commencing the second
year after entry. The lands will be
subject to homestead entry only dur
ing sixty days following the opening
Of the reserve, and thereafter will be
subject to mineral and other land en-
tries.
