SACRAMENTO, March although

The feeling against Shannon was evil

the amount asked was $4,000, but in

stature.
Assemblyman Held, who introduced
the bill, told his colleagues that he did
not care whether they voted for concur

to block the raise. The vote on concur

DECLARES THE RESERVES
ARE FOR PEOPLES USE
Pinchot Issues Statement
Regarding National
Forest Utility

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Just what
is intended to be done in the admins
tration of the national forests, which
includes the 100000 acres recently
added to this domain, was set forth to-
day by Clifford Pinchot. chief forester.
The statement is an answer to criti-
cism made in Congress during the de-
bate regarding forest reserves INDUCED
in during the latter part of the ses-
sion. 1t supplements the Presidents
scheme regarding his order creating
the new reserves. 1t says in part:
National forests are created with the main OBJ
ject of using all their resources in the wisegi
way Everything is for use; the timber, the
range the water the land Only those lands
the protection of the water flow included In
national forests. Little patches of agricultural
land small mountain meadows and very incon-
siderable grazing land must necessarily fall with
in their boundaries. All such tracts where cul-
tivation is possible, are being CLASSIFIED and are
passing to private ownership through the act of
June ii 1906 which is an extension of the home
stead law, to the national forests.
THE miner is better on In a national forest
than in unreserved public domain. The mineral
laws apply in precisely the way. The pros
pector can explore and locate his claims without
the slightest restriction
All timber and wood In the national forests is
for use and for prompt use. 1t is sold to the
small man and to the big man. Everybody who
needs timber to establish his home gets 1t free
of charge when he asks for 1t.
The range Is used for the grazing of livestock.
On these national forests created after March l.,
1907 there will be no interference with the graz
ing authority.
The land within national forests is freely open
TO use as sites for hotels stores, mills residences
and all other legitimate purposes.

.DAKOTHs. PASSENGERS
AND Gre VI ARE LANDED
Hope Is Still Entertained
That Great Vessel May
IBe Saved

YOKOHAMA, March 1.-The passen-
gers and crew of the wrecked steam
ship Dakota have been landed from
the Japanese steamer Hakuai Maru.
They are in good health and spirits
and extol the conduct of the officers
of the Great Northern Steamship Com
pany, who have done everything pos
sible for their comfort. They confirm
the previous report that the Dakota
probably will be a total loss.
The rate of reinsurance on the
stranded liner Dakota was advanced
to so per cent yesterday. According to
late cablegram received by the Mer-
chants Exchange the liners bridge
deck was submerged, the engine room
filled with water and the great pro-
pellers in full view above the water.
Hope of saving the vessel has not been
abandoned, but everything depends
upon the weather. If the Dakota should
prove total loss 1T is thought here
that Hill is likely to sell the Minnesota
to the Japanese, who wanted to buy
both liners.
The Minnesota and Dakota proved too
big for the trade between Puget Sound
and the Orient and have been operated
at a heavy loss. There is little likeli-
hood that Hill will replace the Dakota,
and it would not be practical, say
steamship men, for the Great Northern
to operate the Minnesota alone
Meanwhile the underwriters are PIN
ming their faith on the Japanese
wreckers and hoping for a continued
spell of fine weather.

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-Assembly-
man Phil Stanton of Los Angeles, who
deals in real estate when he is not en-
gagged in making laws, was charged on
the floor of the Senate today by Wright
of San Diego with trying to dismem
ber Orange County because he had lots
to sell.
Wright also charged Stanton with
having threatened him at the Santa
Cruz Republican Convention to be shut
out of all favors when the Legislature
convened unless he consented to take
the programme that the Assemblyman
was boosting in the interest of Pardee
Senator Carter of Los Angeles came
in for castigation at the hands of
Wright when the latter had finished
with Stanton. Wright declared that
Carter had threatened to take a swat
at all the bills he was interested in
at the present session unless he would
withdraw his opposition to the Orange
County dismenberment project.
Wright explained that he was op
posed 10 allowing Los Angeles to carve
this slice off Orange because he con-
sidered that the Legislature would be
acting beyond its constitutional prov
ince in agreeing to it at this time.
The debate on the dismemberment
occupied nearly all the morning and
extended more than an hour into the
session after the noon recess. Ander-
son of Santa Ana spoke at length in
controverting the arguments advanced
by Carter in favor of the division.
Carter declared that Huntington Beach,
Sunset Beach and Bay City wanted to
be annexed to Los Angeles. and went
on TO quote figures. which demon
strated that 10000 of the 10000 acres
sought favored the project. 1t re-
manned for Wright to bring out the
fact that Stanton owned the majority
of the stock of Bay City and had more
than sentimental reasons for wishing
TO exploit the seaside resort by tack
ing it on to Los Angeles
In closing the debate Carter denied
that he had threatened to kill bills in
which Wright was interested. Wright
repeated that he had, and the dispute
was growing heated when the chair,
on a point of order raised by Wolfe,
cut Carter off and made him conflne
his talk to the matter in hand. Carter
" withdrew the dismem berment bill. 1t
never had a chance, but Carter eX-
planned his readiness to withdraw by
saying that the constitutional amend
ment prepared by Willis of San Ber-
nardino would enable people to decide
in future by election of which county
they wished to be part.

that he was in favor of direct primary
laws, but the unfortunate fact remains
that it was through his ludicrous and
persistent objections that the Held
Wright measure was numbered with
the proviso that so nearly encompassed
its defeat, and now thanks to his re-
newed efforts the whole question may
be confused in the popular mind.
The Senate today took one step in
the direction of cleaner politics by
passing the Devlin bill, which pro-
vides for partisan registration.
Governor Gillett vetoed today the
Assembly bill providing for $500 in
crease of salary for the chief deputy
clerk of the Supreme Court and 5000
for each of the other deputies The
message of nonapproval tersely states
the executive opinion that the salaries
now paid are sufficient.
The Governor also vetoed O'Brien's
bill providing for a minimum wage of
SO day on all public work This veto
was accompanied by a long message
setting forth the Governors reasons.
chief among which was the contention
that the counties that would be affect
ed by IL could least afford Ii, and that
since these counties were restricted
to an expenditure OF 40 cents on the
800 for roads. to increase the mini
mum cost by one-third would be to
decrease correspondingly the amount of
sorely needed road building and re-
pairing.
The Governor will lunch tomorrow
with commission of Balboa exposi-
tion advocates. headed by Homer s.
King.

MOTT TO PROTECT WATER FRONT
San Pedro Harbor Bill to BE Amended
In Assembly

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-Mayor Mott
and City Attorney McElroy of Oakland
have come to the Capitol to secure an
Assembly amendment to the bill rushed
through the Senate, which validates
the grant to Randolph Minor of tide
lands in San Pedro. The bill was faith
cred by Senator Savage and its passage
will Virtually enable the Southern Paci-
fic to~control the San Pedro harbor.
The City Council in Oakland met last
night and took exception to the general
application of the BILL fearing that it
would have the same effect on the
water front there as 1t would have in
San Pedro. Assemblymen Cutten. Stet-
son and Cogswell had a conference with
Mott and McElroy tonight and agreed
to introduce an amendment to the bill
so that it would not enable the South
ern Pacific or other corporations to OBJ
tain a greater hold on the Oakland
water front than they now enjoyed.

KELLY GROWS ANGRY
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-There is
trouble IN the San Francisco Assembly
delegation. Pete Kelly openly accused
Chairman Beckett Of the committee on
public morals of trying TO smother Sen
stor Markeys anticigarette bill. Be
hind the opposition appears a smoke
wreathed face that strongly resembles
that OF John A. Drinkhouse, wholesale
dealer in cigarettes.
The row began this morning when
Kelly introduced a resolution recalling
the bill from committee. Grove john
son flew to Beckett's relief. He de-
clared such action would be unfair.
Beckett proved that he had been in
possession OF the bill only four days.
Kelly charged that Beckett had admit
ted his intention TO prevent the bill
from ever seeing light again. Beckett
declared he had never said anything
OF the kind.
At this interesting stage OF the pro-
ceedings johnson produced peace by
Inducing Beckett to agree to call his
committee together to consider the bill
before the day ended. Beckett kept
his word, but Kelly was not notified.
He arrived just in time to learn that
the hearing OF the bill had been post
poned until Thursday evening. Peter
tossed warm words in the direction Of
Sammy, and Sammy replied in kind.
. Peter declares that If the postpone
ment is permitted the bill viii be as
good as dead, as IL viii never reach
q vote. Tomorrow morning he will re-
Introduce his resolution TO take the
measure out OF Sammy's tender care.
Sammy is a tobacconist OF experience.
Further. he does not want his friend,
Johnny Drinknouse, Ito get the worst

full OF political friends who sell cigar
