GOVERNOR PARDEE BEATEN.
Fails of denomination Because of
Course i'm Frisco Disaster.

Santa Cruz, Cal. - Congressman
James N. Gillette, of Eureka, was
nominated for Governor by the Re-
publican convention on the first bal
lot, receiving 591k votes, to 1881
votes for the present Governor, Geo.
C.. Pardee.
Governor Pardee's general indecis-
ion in the San Francisco disaster and
his refusal to yield to the request of
the citizens and recall the State mill
tia is regarded as having brought
about his defeat. The platform gives
sincere thanks to all who aided San
Francisco in her time of need. 1t
asks the enactment by Congress OF
an amendment to the existing tariff
law as a of relief for San
Francisco, that for a period of three
years all building material be adj
mitted into the port Of San Francisco
free Of duty.

HUNGRY FOR LEARNING.
Students Will Not Oppose Opening of
Universities.

st. Petersburg.-At meeting OF
Social Democratic and Social Revo-
lutlonist university students it was
decided not to oppose the %reopening
of the universities, which is sched-
uled for October Il, thereby furnish
ing a strong possibility that the par
alysis OF the educational life of the
country, which has lasted for two
school years, may 500 be ended.
Many revolutionary students IA
vored abandoning entirely the OBJ
structive attitude, re-entering the
universities and resuming their stud
les instead of making the universities
temples for the revolutionary move
ment," which was the motive behind
the short and fruitless resumption of
work in the universities last year.
Among the student masses there
has grown up a feeling of resentment
against the tactics which are depriv-
ing them of education and a determ-
ination to resume studies regardless
of any strike decisions.

3 100000 WASTED IN WATER.
Excessive Irrigation Causes Enorni-
GUS Loss to Western Farmers.

U.s.
Boise, Idaho.-At the National r.
rigation Congress DR.. Elwood Mead,
of the Government Reclamation Ser
vice, spoke of "The Evolution of Irri-
cation Institutions" dealing with the
steady development rom absolute
private ownership of small water
rights into a great system of commu-
nifty and Government ownership.
Some startling statiTtics were pre-
sented by Professor Samuel Fortier,
of the University of California, in an
address dealing with the loss of water
through waste. He made the asser-
ton that in the Western States $780,
100000 were expended annually in
securing and distributing water for
irrigation, and that of this water
thus distributed f:lly seventy-five per
cent. was wasted, causing a net loss
to the people of the Western States
of more than $35,000,00O. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that
while all 6. this loss could not be
stopped, he believed that fully ten
per cent. of it could be.

A NEW ANTARCTIC PROJECT.

Lieutenant Michael Barne, a member Of the
British Antarctic expedition Of 1901-'04, is de-
sirous Of conducting further explorations in
the southern hemisphere and is now seeking
financial support for the enterprise from his
follow cOuntrymen. He has found a sponsor
in Sir Clement Markham, who recently retired
from the presidency of the Royal Geographical
Society, and who has always felt lively inter-
est in this kind Of research. Sir Clement out
lines the project in the London "Times" in
terms which show both his faith in the fitness
of Lieutenant Barne for leadership and his be-
lief in the Importance Of the work itself.
In almost the same longitude with Cape Horn
there is what appears to be a peninsula ex-
tending northward from the Antarctic cOnti-
nent Around the tip Of it are numerous ISL
ands one group, the South Shetlands, lies just
below the Goth parallel Of latitude To the
eastern coast of the peninsula Swedish ex-
plorers have given the name King Oscar II
Land. On the opposite side the northernmost
portion is called Graham Land, and limited
region a little further to the southwestward
has been designated Alexander / Land The
object of Lieutenant Barnes quest is to dis
cover whether or not there is a passage from
one side to the other which separates Graham
Land from the rest of the continent. suspi.
ciOn that Louis Philippe Land, which has been
regarded as an extension of the mainland, might
not really be such existed at one time. To as
certain its truth or falsity was one of the pur-
poses Of DR.. Otto NordenskiOld in visiting that
neighbOrhoOd in 1902 He entered Orleans In
let, between Louis Philippe Land and Graham
Land, and endeavored to Clrcumnavigate the
former. A substantial barrier was presented
by a mountainous ridge which connects the two
tracts, and thus all doubts were effectually dis
posed Of 1t IS equally desirable in the inter
ests Of geographical accuracy to determine
whether or not Graham Land is an island
It will be seen at a glance that the scope Of
Lieutenant Barnes inquiry is much more linn
tied than that of the expedition with which he
was connected in 19O1-O4 Then the coast line
for one whole quadrant Of the Antarctic CONT
nent was examined by Captain Scott. who also
made extensive sledge journeys into the in
terror. However. special study of important
details of the continental outline is also re-
quired. good deal of work of this kind is
needed in the Antarctic regions, and one rea-
son for hoping that Lieutenant Barne can raise
the money he wants is that his success will
make it easier for other men to carry through
similar ventures

Iarly favorable terms can be secured, on condi-
ton that the current shall be used at any time
during the twenty-four hours except in the

more eagerly. Chances like these ought to be
available in hundreds of small cities in the

The chief drawback to the plan, from the
point Of view Of the station manager, is that
he cannot easily prevent an evasion of contract
by the consumer. 1t would hardly pay to en-
ploy an inspector TO visit the patrons premises

duly prolonged. The result could no doubt be

if these are fully justified It appears probable
that when once inventive ingenuity was fairly
concentrated on the problem apparatus would be

trustworthy.

SPANS NEW TARIFF

Spain, as part Of her commercial and indus
trial renascence since the American war, has
just promulgated a new tariff. In fact it was
announced and its terms were made known more
than a month ago. The month Of April was
designated as a period in which anybody inter
ested might lodge protests against the changes
made, which the government would consider,
though it would not, OF course, be bound to act
upon them in any way. All the protests which
will be received are therefore now in hand, and
the government Is diligently considering them.
For two months It will hold them under advise
ment, and then on July ], with such changes, II
any, as the government sees fit TO make In re-
Spouse to the protests, the new law will become
operative.
The tariff Is emphatically protective in char
acter There are two scales Of rates: One for
all countries which give to Spain their lowest
rates. and the other Tor all the rest Even in
the former there are some notable increases oP
rate. Thus typewriting machines, which now
pay about 81 30 for each kilogram Of weight
will have TO pay 81 80. That will mean s45 on
each machine OF the standard tyne. which vyiII
be almost prOhibitive The reason doubtless is
that a large manufactOry Of such machines a.
being established at Barcelona and the govern
ment means to protect il. Factories Of eIoh-
trlcal machinery and supplies have also baan
started, and they also are TO be protected with
high tariff rates. Automobiles. which snain A.
beginning to manufacture will be taxed nearly
