Boise Idaho, May 25.--The unusual
spectacle Of accepting juror oppos q

society against war and anarchy and
pleading his own disqualification came
today in the Stegnenberg murder trial
and his retention after he had clearly
showed that he was disqualified raises
a qu1 stion as to the, regularity OF the
proceedings.
j. Il. Tourtellotte an archi e.t Of

seemed clearly due to the willingness
of both sides to gamble on his views

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Aug. 2S.-Steps to re-
lieve the sewer situation were taken by
the city trustees at an adjourned session

ton of A. l.. Snodrugger, an expert en-
gineer, who has made an inspection Of
local sewer conditions, $6500 was voted

facilities.
1t was decided that Center street pier
and sewer pipe should be extended 240
feet, making a total length of $50 feet
and that an eighty-foot smokestack be
erected at the septic tank.
The improvements will be made under
the supervision of Mr.. Snodrugger.
None of the members of the citizens
committee appointed by the board Mon
day evening to meet with the trustees

Constructed

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 2s.-The Salt
Lake and the Southern Pacific railroads,
the two steam lines which touch this
city, are beginning to feel in measure
the competition which has arisen against
them in the carrying of freight between
Long Beach. Terminal Island and San
Pedro, In the shape of q barge line on
CerritoS slough.
Capt. H. s. -arver of the Western
Boat works has within the past few
months lightened many load of lumber
and other shipments through the slough
and the San Gabriel river to the foot of
Third street, whence the loads are easily
hauled into town.
Capt. Carver has just begun on the first
of three new barges to be used for this
purpose. Each of the barges will be 16x4O
feet in size and feet deep and will each
carry 10000 feet of lumber
To use these barges, Capt. Carver in
formed the city trustees at their meeting
yesterday, 1t will be necessary to complete
the dredging of a strip 5000 feet long
just beyond the dock and Terminal turn
ing basin and six other short bars beyond
that.
The trustees have under consideration
Carver's suggestion that the city make
an appropriation of $4,000 to DO this work,
and the suggestion will probably be acted
upon favorably.
The dredging work, il done, would be
of permanent nature and the channel
would be frequently used by larger ves-
sells than can at present pass through

So feel that l will have your sincere
sympathy in the matters that wish to
speak of. First, good progress has been

all over the state, and about 22,000, 900
acres are now protected and maintained
through the service. OF course do not
mean that the work is by any means COM

that is your end of the matter. Mine is
to spend it after you have placed it at
my disposal, which / assure you l am
eager to do. daughter and applause)
THE other matter I have been consid-
ering for some time is that of private
ownership of some parts of the forests,
which restricts our work and retards its
progress. Unfortunately neither the
United States nor the state of Califor-
mia have control of the property, for it
has passed into private control.
Considerable bodies of private land
are being so burned over and overgrazed
as to be a menace to the prosperity of
your state. 1t is worth your while as
citizens to take up this matter with the
legislature and see what relief can be
secured.
Recently paid a visit to one section
OF the Sierras where logging camps with
their attendant danger from fire from
unprotected steam engines and the over
grazing of sheep had reduced fine piece
of sugar pine forest to barren desert,
without even blade of grass to mark
the spot where the magnificent protectors
of your watersheds once stood.

Logging is in progress in some parts
of this valley. and II unchecked and If
not brought under the proper control it
may work great evil to the great irriga-
tion projects. Los Angeles Is. in my esti-
nation, the best place to take this mat
ter UP, and successful legislation in this
direction can be of great benefit to irri-
cation, not only in this state, but in all
parts of the United States,
I'VE have reached the point where there
is little opposition to the policy of natural
forest protection In few places private
greed attempted to block its progress,
but the time is gone when any systematic
opposition to the forestry service could
be successful.
'The failure of the Denver plan in
June is the best evidence of the route OF
opposition IN this line. The Denver con-
vention vas called to determine II the
whole system of government control OF
the forests should not be changed and

the lands turned over to the control of
the state.
Behind the proposition were private
interests, which aspired to the control of
these lands so they would be of value to
a favored few, and that the deal was de-
feated is due to the unselfish efforts of
few public-minded citizens with the best
interests of the country at heart
''The forestry service has made good.
and there now remain other lines to
which the Improvement must extend. The
problem does not change, for it is always
the same, and the protection of the for
ests was only the first step toward a
greater movement Only the name of the
problem Is changed by the extension, and
instead of protection to forests it is now
a matter of conserving all of our natural
resources.
1--WE are all interested in this great
work and we have achieved the right to
look forward to the vast future Of our
great country, and to this end the
friends of the movement may all fight for
the conservation of all the natural re-
sources.
with our eyes on this greater future
1t is our paramount duty to prepare for
1t. To this great country of ours belong
the right of being the greatest tool in
the hands of Providence for the uplifting
of the whole world to the highest point of
civilization.
"As we do our duty in this connection
so we shall be Judged by those who come

After the prolonged applause had sub
sided motion was carried to extend the
thanks of the association to Mr.. Pinchot
for his efforts in behalf of the interests
of Los Angeles by a standing vote The
motion was carried out amid great en-
thusiasm and the assemblage took up

CORPSE HELD WHILE

Body Of Santa Monica Capitalist Held
at Depot While Mourning
Friends Await with
Hearse

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Aug. 2S. - While
those directing the arrangements for the
burial of Theodore p. Bunne.l, local
capitalist who died at Colorado Springs
on August 10, were wondering this morn
ing, three hours before the time set for
the funeral, why the body had not ar
rived, a telegram was received from Colo
rado Springs stating that the corpse was
being held at the Welle-Fargo depot
there.
Messengers were Immediately dispatched
to notify the friends of the deceased that
the funeral had been indefinitely post
poned, and the circumstances were ex-
planned to the Rev. F. G. H. Stevens, pas
tor of the First M e. church, who was
to have officiated at the obsequies.
Until late hour no further word had
been received from Colorado Springs in
reference to the matter, although replies
to several kilograms were being awaited.
Mr.. Bunnell has no relatives In Santa
Monica and it is believed by his local
acquaintances that he had none in Colo
RADIO.
When he left here about one month
ago he was accompanied by a Miss Nell
son, said to be an adopted daughter of
a cousin of his, but it was stated then
that the young lady would continue east
after leaving Mr.. Bunnell at Colorado
Springs.
He appeared to be in poor health and 1t
was largely in the capacity of nurse that
Miss Nelson journeyed with him to his
destination. Other than that the deceased
was man of large means and that he
had a. deposit at the Bank of Santa
Monica, little is known of him here.
His estate is estimated by his acquaint-
ances to be valued at about 100000.

GREAT CROP OF BEANS
EXPECTED BY GROWERS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA. Aug. 2S.-It is es-
timated the Santa Monica bean crop
now being harvested, will comprise
80, 100000 pounds of beans which is
about the same. as last years yield.
The crop will be taken from about
Is, 900 acres that will average between
eighteen and twenty sacks to the acre.
On some ranches where the conditions
for growing the beans are especially
favorable as many as thirty-five sacks
to the acre will be harvested.
Because of the persistency of the
Southern California bean growers in
holding out for high prices for their
product many are receiving as high as
Az cents pound for the beans. where
as growers in other parts of the state
contracted early in the season to sell
their crops for prices ranging from
to 3% cents a pound. The beans from
this section are of fine quality and
are in great demand.
Hotel del Coronado always pleases.
